I'm a gym snob and have been at least 20 different gyms in Chicago and about 8 in Phoenix (moved here about a year ago). My wife and I work out almost daily and I can generally rationalize spending quite a bit of money on a gym - hence our trial period at this gym. I'm not sure why this place has such great reviews. The weight area is extremely weak. As in, a recent stay at the Grand Hyatt in downtown San Diego had a much better weight area. This place is also full of kids with parents who let them run all over the place. Yes, this place is clean and marvelous but if you actually want to work out, besides classes, this place isn't worth the money at all. I think Life Time is a better overall value with notably better machines.
