They have a lot of cool and different machines I have never seen before. After 8:00 PM it's kinda a ghost town and you can use any machines you want for the most part. Before I started going here, i heard that it has a lot of body builders that come here. I recommend checking it out for yourself.

So I drive 10 miles only to see a sign that says the pool is down from October 27 for maintenance and repair. Whatever idiot was working at the front desk gave me completely wrong information and made me make a trip for no reason. They either hire extremely stupid people or they don't train them and my thought is that it's probably both. They're actively jerking their customers around. If I could give a zero I would.

I have traveled far and wide and I still cannot find a more beautiful Pilates studio than this one. It's super clean the instructors are knowledgeable and the best part they require socks. THANK GOD! It is my pet peeve going to studios that don't make people wear socks. Like I DO NOT want to put my hands where someone's raw feet have been. This studio is super convenient since it's attached to the mall. I love meeting the people here they are super nice. I met an actress that gave me glute tips omggg and she changed my whole life. Lots of business owners come here and I get invited to some crazy plans which I always say yes to lol because YOLO right. Shoutout to this lifetime the management, trainers, instructors, and the whole staff in general is amazing! Thank you Scottsdale Fashion Square Lifetime!!!

One of the many perks living at San Tropez. It's small, yet surprisingly effective. I need to…read moremention before you can gain access to the facility you need to put down a $50 deposit. You get it back once you return your key card. If you're looking to fuel your 24 inch pythons don't bother working out here. They don't have a squat rack/deadlift platform but it's great if you are looking to maintain or grow some muscle. You'll find free weights ranging from 10-50 lbs, a bench, yoga mats, medicine balls, and a handful of machines. You won't feel guilty after eating an entire pizza by yourself either. There are plenty of cardio machines to work it off. Just in time for the San Tropez pool parties!! The gym gets pretty hot in the Summer, possibly due to lack of ventilation or that we live in a desert... but if that's not hot enough for you check out the sauna in the bathrooms.

I've only taken three strength training classes so far, but they've all been great. The workouts…read moreare effective, creative, and genuinely fun. I also love the layout of the gym it's clean, well spaced out, and the equipment is great. My only con so far is that, in my experience, the trainers haven't been very engaged with the class or offered much guidance on form. One of the things I love most about group fitness is when instructors hype up the room & shouting out members, offering motivation, or demoing the moves alongside the class instead of just in the beginning and I haven't really seen that yet. That said, the staff are all super friendly, the gym offers so much more than just strength training (which I'm excited to explore), and the playlists are a solid 10/10. If you're in Scottsdale or just want to try a new gym I highly recommend this one!

You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and it shows in how she connects with everyone in the room. Plenty of parking, places to shower, 2 rooms vibed with energy for different classes.

Above and beyond…read more Going out of my way to write my first yelp review because of how impressed I am and how much recognition this should get! My fiancé is a touring musician who unfortunately started having seizures about 2 years ago. We wanted to try and find a gym/trainer that 1.) had experience with clients with seizures (or at the very least were comfortable working with him) and 2.) would be willing to help develop some routines he can do while on tour I called and the owner 'Sweets' quickly answered the phone. He was extremely friendly and professional right off the bat and introduced himself while giving me the jist of the facility and their programs; he naturally speaks confidently and eloquently, but in a casual way where it seems genuine and not like he's a salesman. When I told him about my fiancé's seizures, without skipping a beat he said, "Oh, that's not a problem! I've had several clients and friends with seizures and epilepsy. When would you like to come check out the facility?" I was so pleasantly surprised with his response. I was worried that gyms/trainers may be hesitant to even work with him, so I was ecstatic that we found someone who wouldn't treat him like a medical case or liability. We went in the next day to check out the facility and talk in person more at length about his background, goals, costs, etc. It's a small, neighborhoodly kind of place that is clean, put together, and has modern equipment. The atmosphere is laidback, open-armed, and non-threatening regardless of who's there. Although they offer personal training, Sweets recommended doing the group classes because they're usually small enough groups that you basically get one-on-one training at a much cheaper price. He also said the first class was free and to try it out, then we could talk about signing up or not. No pressure. Uh... When's the last time you heard of a gym trying to save you money? We also touched back on the seizures, and he asked a bit more info that reassured me he had a background with them, such as, "Does he have auras? Are they full seizures or partial?" etc., while still having the casualness that made my fiancé feel at ease and excited he'd be treated like everyone else and not a medical case. Right before my fiancé was supposed to take his first class, he unfortunately ended up having a partial seizure and was having coordination/concentration problems. I called Sweets to let him know we wouldn't make it in and he said, "No problem! Just come to the next class he feels good to go." He also reached out to his friend/client who has long time had seizures to get information about if they've noticed any diets or workouts that they've noticed have helped or hurt their occurrence of seizures. All of this before he even got a dime from us. Long story short - this is not only a laidback, skillful and knowledgeable gym, they also actually care and want what's best for people. They're not just a good gym, they're good people.
