I have finally tried the workout Dallas G has been raving about. Amenzone didn't disappoint. So we attended the early class, which meant 5:30AM! I somehow made it there on time. Most of the time I don't see that time of day, unless it is just getting in. The gym is in downtown in a cool little warehouse space. For this particular class we were outside in the back portion of the lot. There were no weights, benches, or rubber bands. All that was out there was the asphalt and old car and tractor tires. Definitely different. 4 rotations of 5 stations involving every muscle group, plus running. There was shadow boxing, stretching/yoga type moves and wind sprints to round out the workout. Amen, the trainer, does a great job of keeping you motivated while you are testing your mental fitness about as much as your physical. It is also a very mixed group of people, first timers like me, some very fit and some not so fit. By the end of the class everyone is cheering on everyone else. There is no need to be embarrassed or ashamed if you are unable to finish, but Amen and the group will try hard to keep you going. My only regret so far, I haven't been back in two weeks. I have got to change that.

Contrary to the experience some of my friends may have had at this classy lil joint, I had a BLAST! Hahaha. Perhaps it was due to the excessive amount of vodka they put in their vodka cranberries, or all of the good music they played, or how HOT one of the dancers was... anyway, my point is: I will be back. Someday. I will find a reason. I won't reveal too much about this place because I think the mystery of what it might be like is part of the appeal... but it's totally harmless, and everyone here was really fun. Not too dirty or creepy. It was entertaining and silly. About 10 of my friends and I brought our friend here for her bachelorette party. It was definitely a night she'll never forget!

I had what I thought was a great facial and after two days, I experienced a reaction to their products. I purchased a few of the items during my visit so I called to let them know of what happened. The girl in the spa said she would have to check to see if I could return the skin care products that I purchased for $85.00. After asking me again why I was returning them, she said "they would allow me" to return them but they would have to issue a check instead of crediting my credit card that they so easily accepted when I purchased the items. I returned to the spa the following day with the items and they gave me a credit voucher and said they would check with the manager to make sure he would approve the return. I received a call 4 days later letting me know he did in deed "approved it" and they would put a check in the mail...which I still have not received. No one was concerned that I just spent $160 on a facial spa treatment and my face was all chapped, peeling and red from the reaction. All they were concerned with was whether they would allow me to return items that I clearly couldn't use. I was a returning guest but after this incident, I will no longer be a patron of the Arizona Grand Spa. Apparently they've changed management and the customer no longer comes first.

I love coming here! I try to restrain myself to once a month. The Palm Job is the best, I always order it first! the place is small inside but they manage to squeeze everyone in. Yama crunch and Turning Japanese ar e two of my favorites.
