| - I was waiting for this place to open! I lived about 2 miles away and used to drive out to Scottsdale, so this was a huge win for me.
Being a new place, the equipment was all brand new, the locker rooms, saunas, and other accessories were all new, and that was just great. I had never been to a 24 Hour Fitness that was brand spankin' new before.
The graveyard people that worked there over the time I frequented this location always said the same thing, though. They didn't like the layout of the place, and the location in general meant the place was always empty. Obviously the latter point is better for the gym rats who aren't so much into the crowds, but the layout to me seemed fine. Your basic warehouse-style with one huge space.
Since I don't do much swimming I didn't miss the lack of a pool. The saunas (wet and dry) were also somewhat small, but that dry sauna was hot and rock solid (no dank smell, etc-- remember, the whole place was new, don't know how it is today).
Some really nice people there as well, working and working out. Sometimes I went during the day (around 10am, or maybe 2pm or so) and the place was never packed. Overall a nice setup, a good location with decent parking, good equipment and nice people.
