Great variety of classes !!! Something for everyone at any skill level. Staff very engaging and helpful ! Truly a community first organization !
Friendly staff. Great group classes. Good equipment
Facilities are accommodating, staff are friendly, customer focused and location is ideal
Clean facility with plenty of aerobic equipment and weight machines including free weights. With personal training available it is hard not to get a workout that is right for you.
All good
The classes are varied and appeal to different age groups and fitness levels. My only complaint is that some of the classes are very crowded (Sharon's group muscle class especially) and that some attendees are allowed to "reserve" their space (and the space of their multiple friends) before the class begins. I have now had to arrive over 30 minutes prior to class start to get a spot on the floor and it is already 80% full. The spots are reserved for people by who havent even arrived yet. You might consider a signup for those popular classes.
Best gym we’ve ever been members of. Great equipment and excellent staff.
I like the spaciousness of the Y, compared to previous gym-the fees are reasonable and like the variety of gym equipment. The instructors in the classes I take are great!
Very convenient. We have meet great people.
I like the equipment. Some machines are monopolized by individuals longer than I prefer such as the Pull Down machine. They camp out on that machine15 to 20 minutes and I can do my work on that machine in 5 minutes. Frustrating. At 15 minutes I usually request to break in for 5 minutes. Hard to police this but as new members and kids with cell phones tend to not follow the protocols. It might be good to emphasize this at sign-up.
Otherwise people seem to respect the 10 minutes and move off of the machines. I am just busy and do a fast paced workout on 6 machines once a week. Moving from machine to machine without much warming down is important. I have been a member since opening and really enjoy the facility even though I only use it once a week. Thanks.
Lots of options for classes and friendly staff and members.
The location is great for me. The equipment I want to use is often available with the stair masters sometimes in use or broken.

.
I've been going to Desert Foothills 5-6 days a week since last summer. What a welcoming place! There are classes for all ages and abilities, the equipment is well-maintained, and the staff are unfailingly pleasant and helpful. And I have an amazing trainer (Nathan), who with good humor and uncommon skill, is whipping this old body into shape!
