| - I first learned about Club SAR from a friend. I have lived close to the facility for almost 5 years, but never knew much about it. There is a great group of loyal SAR members, mostly young people from about 18-40. All age groups go, but the gym definitely has a youthful vibe.
I have been taking the cardio kickboxing classes since October 2008 and LOVE them. Tom and Jeremy who teach the 5:30pm classes M-Th are amazing instructors. You will need a pair of boxing gloves and a towel. You punch and kick a dummy or bag that is weighed down with a water-filled base. There are "community" gloves available, if you want to try the class out before investing in gloves. A fee of $3 for the day is the costs to try out a class. If you live in Scottsdale, a 12 month membership is $75...yes, only $75! If you are a non-resident of Scottsdale a 12 month membership is $105. There are spin classes, boxing, mixed martial arts, cardio boxing, cardio kickboxing, yoga, weight training and rowing classes.
Here is the schedule:

I recently tried one of the yoga classes. It was good for a beginner like me, but my more advanced yoga friends thought the class was too easy. I'll probably try more of the yoga classes, so I can see if there is a more advanced class available.
If you want a class that will kick your butt, I dare you to take the cardio kickboxing class. I've taken cardio kickboxing at LA Fitness.....and there is really no comparison. Hands down, Club SAR is the best gym (with the best cardio kickboxing class) that I have found in South Scottsdale!
