Love love love this mountainside. They take such good care of the babies. 😘 Every other gym closes in the afternoon. As a momma of 4 I need flexibility and that often means 1pm or 2pm workouts. It also is nice because you get to go during non peak hours which makes it less likely your child gets sick. 🤧 It’s nice to have that option especially With a newborn.

Our family joined Mountainside Fitness mainly for the childcare, and as a homeschooling mom, that feature is a big deal—attempting to get some space in order to take care of myself can be tricky. My oldest can be out on the gym floor with me, but my younger three need a safe, consistent space to be while I get a workout in. We rotate between three locations, and from a childcare perspective, Ocotillo is hands-down my favorite. The childcare staff there is excellent, and Faith is truly the best. She knows my kids by name, is warm and welcoming, and somehow manages to help my toddler feel comfortable being separated from me for 45 minutes twice a week. She genuinely seems to enjoy her job, and it shows. The Gilbert location is larger and has a nicer locker room setup (red light, cold plunge, and other amenities), and my 9-year-old likes some of the activities the childcare staff set up (for the older kids). But I’ve had to cut my workout short multiple times because my toddler “needed snuggles,” which makes it hard to relax and commit to going there regularly. The Ahwatukee location has kind childcare staff as well, and I’ve never had to retrieve my toddler early from them—so it’s a solid second choice. Overall: Ocotillo is #1 for childcare, Ahwatukee is #2, and Gilbert is #3 (even though the facilities are great). For families like ours, it really comes down to having childcare staff who genuinely enjoy kids and are good with them.

Semi-crowded neighborhood gym feel with middle of the road equipment suitable for all skill levels. Often broken or damaged machines on any day keeps you moving and sharing. That said, there’s just enough equipment for the crowd size on most days. Classes are offered and accessible (yoga, etc) and have had decent/average experience in the classes attended. Overall a good middle of the road gym based on three to four days a week the last year.

All of the staff are amazing. However, if your looking for a place for child care during your workout the staff here are the best and will hands down treat your child like their own. Faith is always here when our son is here and she is amazing. The cost is nothing compared to the care you get.

Mountainside Fitness – Excellent Experience** I’ve had a great experience at Mountainside Fitness, especially working with my personal trainer, **Loralee**. She has been wonderful — very knowledgeable, friendly, and extremely attentive to my arthritic knees. Since starting with her, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my leg strength, flexibility, and overall energy. Her personalized approach has made a big difference for me. The gym itself is clean and well-maintained, and the staff are consistently responsive, professional, and respectful. I also really appreciate that the **sauna and steam rooms are clean and fully functional**. One area of improvement would be to have **more massage chairs** available and to ensure that all of them are working. Overall, the environment is positive and the members are respectful of each other’s space. I highly recommend this gym — and especially Loralee — to anyone looking for a supportive and effective fitness experience.
