I was visiting Scottsdale and staying at a nearby hotel that offered free passes to either Lifetime Fitness or Gold's Gym. I went online and read the reviews for Lifetime and made my choice without even looking at Gold's.
What an incredible place!
I am training for a triathlon, so used the outdoor pool, and the indoor bikes and treadmill.
The pool - wow! What a lovely outdoor swim pool. I swam in it twice and had a lane to myself each time.
The indoor workout area - huge. No problem finding a free bike and treadmill.
The women's locker room - like a spa! The steam room was the best I've ever been in.
I have been a member of gyms on the east and west coast, and this place is more like a high end spa.
Very friendly staff. I went in three times and I was greeted twice by staff who asked remembered me. Really remarkable.
