I used to have somewhat negative connotations of Gold's Gym - body builders, old equipment, dirty, bros...
But the new and improved Scottsdale Gold's Gym has proven me wrong!
I was pleasantly surprised by how new and modern it it. Lots of new cardio machines, huge weight area and lots of TVs all around. I love the fact that there are separate areas for cardio, weights, stretching, classes, and even a women's only area. It can get really crowded and stuffy in there but that's expected at a Scottsdale gym.
At $10ish /month - you get a lot of your money. Free workout classes, spinning classes, full locker room, personal training options, etc. It's not a social atmosphere like the Village but it's a great deal if you just need a clean adequate gym.
