text: I have been a member at the Village for over a year I have a Hour membership which I use when I travel to CA or NV but I go to the Village Camelback or Gainey when I work out in Phoenix I have the multiclub membership which is beneficial as I live near Camelback Village but work between Gainey and DC Ranch nnThe good thing about the Village Gainey is that weight room is never busy when I go and I do not think I have ever waited on a machine or seat or weight Membership is pretty steep which keeps the rif raf out At Gainey I feel like working out in my own personal gym Most of the members here use the basketball court go to the plethora of classes or the do cardio On a Saturday morning there are usually people in the weight room I will say now that it is fall the gym does seem to get a bit more busy with the snowbirds and school in session nnI usually do weights but I did a yoga class and I realize I have no flexibility the class was fun and I enjoyed it despite my lack of yoga prowess Gainey offers many classes yoga conditioning spin pilates kinesis etc and the instructors are real good from what my fiancee says she is a member as well nnThe negative thing is that compared to Hour or LA Fitness Gainey does not have the equipment to compete They do not have hammer strength equipment or have the volume of weight machines as Hour or LA Fitness do As far as free weights Gainey is just fine for me though nnGainey is more of a country club disguised as a gym It is a place where I see a lot of people meet their friends or network I have met some cool people here They have a happy hour every Thursday for members which is nice nnThe spa is real good I have had a couple massages which were phenomenal and blow Massage Envy away nnI like how they provide towels razors shampoo gel etc The bathrooms are nice but I should say DC Ranch has the best bathroomslocker rooms nnThe clientele is corporatewhite collar divorced moms with mucho plastic surgery looking for their next date ASU coed w membership paid by mom or dad Families as they have a resourceful day care DivorcedSingle older guys If you are nonwhite you will stick out like sore thumbnnThe price is three digits a month which keeps membership relatively low nnIf they had more weight machines I would give it stars
