I actually moved to North Scottsdale so I could be close to this gym. I'm not even a gym rat, but this place is like a resort. For all this gym has to offer, it is an incredible value.
The place is beautiful. Three pools, sauna, steam rooms and by far the best cardio equipment of any gym I have been to. I usually despise doing cardio indoors, but the treadmills and varied elliptical trainers make the cardio definitely more tolerable.
I go at off peak hours, so haven't had to deal with the large weight lifting room crowd at peak gym times. The locker rooms are fresh and always cleaned....never a shortage of towels. The grooming accessories are well stocked and it feels more like a Vegas spa then a gym locker room.
The staff is always professional. Of particular note - Craig, the front desk agent has always been helpful, attentive and enthusiastic every time I visit the place. It's people like him that keep Lifetime Fitness light years ahead of their competitors.
