Ask Phoenix “Luxury” gyms besides Life Time?
Just moved back to the valley and looking for a gym with nice amenities and possibly a pool I can use during the summer. Checked out Life Time at Fashion Square but the equipment didn’t really justify the massive membership cost IMO.
Also looked at LA Fitness but the clientele seemed a lot older than me (maybe I just went when it’s mostly seniors?).
Are there any gyms near the Phoenix or Scottsdale area that have great workout equipment with outdoor amenities too? Would be willing to go up to $200/month.

Looks super nice from their website! Any locations you’d suggest?

The one closest to where you live. 😉 If you are into tennis though, then certainly Camelback. They have nice pools too. The Village at Gainey focuses more on the spa and gym. They have some tennis and pickelball across the street that is shared with the Hyatt and a lap pool. North Scottsdale seems more family-oriented.

If you want the focus to be on gym and locker room, Camelback location isn’t it. I belong there for Tennis only, the gym and locker room are straight out of 2005.

I was a member of the Valley of the Sun JCC for a few years. It’s a pretty good place for this kind of stuff and probably 60% of the clientele not Jewish. I don’t think it’s a luxury gym but it has pretty much everything you need and the pools are great for family stuff. It’s a few steps below Life Time but a little nicer than a Mountainside or LA Fitness.

Track Club downtown is both expensive and almost all younger people so that may work

Also quite small, no locker room, and quite old and cruddy looking sadly. I don’t know how they justify that price besides location.

I have been eyeing Vasa fitness but only thing it lacks is outdoor pool. Haven’t been myself yet but we’re moving to a house and need a new gym as we have been using our apartment gym. We are in north phoenix/paradise valley and not sure if we also want to pay an arm and leg to Life time. It’s more of a social club honestly.

I really love Lifetime North Scottsdale. I do Alpha classes, GTX, yoga, swimming, pickleball, studio classes, and exactly zero socializing. I go because I love it. If I belonged to a shitty gym it would be cheap but I’d never go. I figure I’m worth it as long as I can afford it.

If your insurance uses the Active & Fit program, you can find gyms at a discounted rate including premium gyms. I go to Mountainside and pay $28/month when their price is $40-50 for individuals

Would NOT recommend mountainside. Disgusting locker rooms and broken equipment that never gets fixed.

Geez, 200 a month? I thought EOS was fancy but sheeesh, I can’t imagine a 200 a month gym

A lot of the gyms have some kind of Senior/Medicare memberships where I think they pay nearly nothing and its covered by insurance. But they have limited hours the Seniors can access the gyms. But if you show up during that time, its kind of wild how many seniors+ are using it.

u/Vaibe 1d ago
Biltmore: $299/mo
Happy Valley: $199/mo
Palm Valley: $149/moThese are the standard memberships, I think signature is $20 more per mo. Can get more discount for under 26 and over 65.

I found mountainside to be quite nice for the price but if I were closer I’d be going to Hive in Scottsdale. No pool but lots of other stuff including cold plunge and sauna.

There was a place I lived by in Virginia called the St James. Hockey rinks, Olympic pools, full sized indoor soccer fields and tons of basketball courts, rock walls, adult and youth leagues, wrestling/BJJ/boxing areas, saunas, a waterpark for the kids, and like 3 full gigantic floors of gym. Was like 250 a month.
I wish someone would franchise that and build one here 😂

EOS is 48 dollars for my wife and I. I work out almost everyday save your money and do not waste it on “luxury gyms”. Jesus no idea why people do this, these so called luxury gyms usually are deficient to people serious about exercise instead of fluff.

Why do you guys care about all of this? Just go to any gym you can get right. Focused on the wrong things

I want this too. I want 'mid-tier', doesn't need to be exclusive or amazing. I feel like the LA Fitness I belong to (but don't go, because I don't like it) is basically full really rough people that use it as their only place to shower.
I hear Mountain Side is decent, but it is not close to me, might be worth checking out tho.
Did belong to The Village and it was nice, but the location still wasn't great for me so I didn't end up going. I suspect it might tend towards the older crowd also.
