I've been a member for eight months now and here is my take on Mountainside...
PROS:
1. Lots of cardio equipment 2. Nice locker rooms 3. Adequate amount of dumbbells
CONS:
1. It can get crowded in there. The Scottsdale fire department comes in and uses the center.
2. The hockey team comes in and uses the center and today the fire dept. & hockey team were in at the same time....gimme a break!
3. During the summer months the functional room is unavailable during the morning and day because of kids programs.
4. The staff is not friendly. Chance is the nicest guy there, I think he's the fitness director. Chrissy is the nicest woman there, she's a trainer. Nicole, perhaps the club manager can't be bothered to speak to you and the others look at you and acknowledge you if their in the mood....whatever.
5. We have our monthly dues automatically charged to our credit card and when it's time to renew, they wanna charge us a one time fee of $50 for something or another....no.
When our memmbership is up, we will not rejoin.
