EOS Fitness – Ahwatukee

The girl at the front desk with the tattoos is so wonderful! She was very professional and would not give out her phone number to me… Darn guess I’ll have to get a membership and keep coming back

I definitely feel I’m getting my moneys worth. For $ 10 a month they have a huge selection of equipment. The locker room is nice and clean with a sauna. If you wish to take classes you can add that for extra as well as child care and use of their tanning beds. I do take advantage of their child care for an extra $ 12 a month. My only complaint is the equipment has been dirty when I go to use it. I wipe it down but around the cup holder of the machine was gooey and I had to clean that which was gross. I tried to use a different machine like it was the cup holder was broken. I know I’m getting a great deal so it’s hard to complain but if the equipment was clean and kept up better I would give 5 stars.

This review is written more as a review of their new manager, Keith. He is so incredibly helpful and is a man of his word!!! It was so refreshing to deal with someone that has such great customer service. I had a billing issue due to an employee error and have been battling with the terrible, rude people in corporate for over a week. As a last ditch effort, I decided to call the location and see if management could help at all. I was connected to Keith, told him my situation and he informed me he would be in contact with me within a few days. To my utter surprise, I received a call no more than fifteen minutes after speaking with him saying that he went up the corporate ladder and that my issue was now resolved. I thank him so much for such great service and it’s solely because of him that I am not cancelling my membership with eos

I’ve been going to this gym since it opened as Gold’s many years ago… because it’s a half mile from my house and it’s inexpensive. You do get what you pay for in this case. The equipment is often in disrepair. Not the latest and greatest either. A few classes and instructors are great (D’s classes!).
What pushed me over the edge is that they told me today I owed money since August PLUS interest fees for nonpayment. There was fraud on the card used for payment. We changed to another but apparently forgot to notify this place (there is a long list, so easy to miss one). I never received any notice (although I get all their promos). I’ve gone in at least weekly and the desk attendant hasn’t said anything. If I had known I would have taken care of it immediately.
Today a new person told me about the charges. When I called, they said they sent an autoresponse notification and it was up to me to be aware that payments weren’t being made. I asked if I was expected to call every month to confirm that my payments were being made and she said that it was up to me in whatever means I chose, but not their problem and that they wouldn’t waive the interest charges. (Even with proof of fraud on the card.)
With about 20 options within 3 miles, why would I want to continue to choose EOS when they clearly don’t care about working proactively with members?
I’d love to invite EOS to contact me and make this right so I can revise my review.

Unquestionably, this gym is a nice facility and I was a Gold’s gym member for many years. However, for an active senior citizen that wants to maintain their physical fitness, the Eos gym don’t provide a senior class, or beginners introduction. For example: like Zumba Gold, or first time active senior citizens; in search of a lower impact workout, without having to pay extra for a personal trainer. Moreover, this facility use to be a Golds gym and they offered fitness to the senior citizens in Ahwatukee, prior becoming Eos gym. Lastly, when you ask if they catered to active senior citizens, they try to get you enrolled in their activities which are NOT advisable to beginners, or senior citizens. Be careful and aware.

Regarding the new facility in Chandler: My wife and I walked into an empty «enrollment center». The two employees were out back and when they returned my wife said they smelled as though they had been smoking. One was an ordinary male and the other was an unhealthy looking female. We elected to leave given the wholly unprofessional atmosphere.
I haven’t received a reply to the email I sent to the General Manager. I didn’t expect a response. Slop like this starts at the top.

Instructors are great. Still wish it was Golds but at least the people didn’t change.

This gym is a great gym for serious lifters and the average bodybuilder. They do have great classes for beginners and intermediate functional training groups. It’s not the most clean gym but other than The cleanliness I would have to give this gym a star rating because it is very down to earth and the people are friendly and courteous. There is very little turnover in the staffing. Try it out for $ 10 a month it’s hard to beat that price

Loved this gym. Joined when it was Gold’s and was a member for about two years. Pretty hardcore. Plenty of big and strong dudes and heavy weights aren’t too foreign here. Two power racks+one squat rack. 4 benches but those are often much more crowded than squat racks. Dumbbells up to 130 pounds. If you’re looking for a motivated, hardcore gym I couldn’t find a better one in the area. Especially for the price.
Cancelling was easy. Called 30ish days in advanced and three minutes later I was good. Didn’t get charged again after that and membership continued to work until those 30 days were up. Think ahead for stuff like canceling contracts. It’s not hard.

Pros:
All machines in working order. Not necessarily the prettiest but gets job done.
Lots of free weights.
Open 24 hours.
Cheap
Cons:
Not much staff on hand.
No towel service. $ 1 per towel.
Showers can use upgrade.
No one to bother you and ask you to join a class or sign up for personal training sessions. If you need a place to come and work out with no nonsense… This is the place.
If you are easily «intimidated» by the body builders or «embarrassed» that you can’t lift 500 lbs like the guy next to you… This is not the place for you.

**SCROLL TO BOTTOM FOR SUMMARY**
Let me first say I may come to update this review later if I can, or if not maybe just write a new one all together. I’ve only recently moved into the area and have only had the chance to go three times this week to EOS thus far.
At any rate this review is mostly just a first impression. I know nobody likes a long story so I’ll try to be brief. First I come from a gym that is much much smaller so I will say that the equipment variety was nothing short of spectacular, not to mention it is clean and well kept. If you’re into bodybuilding, or any strength training then the gym is your oyster. They also have a Crossfit looking room with big tires n such that I haven’t ventured into, but it looks nice, too.
The employees for the most part give me a «IDGAF» attitude and asking where equipment is, or my God even smiling when I walk through the door and saying hello seems to them seems be a stab in the face.
Most of the patrons there seem very, very fit. I’m 6′ and 180lbs. I’m not a giant, but I’m not small, either. These people are mostly jacked. So if you’re intimidated by such things and can’t work well in that environment, then it may not be the place for you. They also give the same vibe of the employees, but maybe in this case it’s all in my head from being new and simply feeling like all eyes are on me (They aren’t, but you know the feeling).
In summary, for $ 25 dollars a month I can deal with employees that want to throat punch me for existing and a very possible presence of steroid abuse in the gym. I don’t say that because I’m envious, but because I know what it looks like from past experience.
Oh! And for the $ 25 you get all access to all their saunas, classes, etc. You can also bring a guest however many times you want, and they’re open ²⁴⁄₇. So if you’re unafraid of being a little fish in a large, quite possibly juiced up pond, then go for it n I’ll probably see you there!

So since my last review eos has reached out to me and given me my training sessions back as well as getting me sessions with one of there best trainers D. This has renewed my faith in this gym and I plan on keeping my membership for many year to come because of it.

Overall the gym equipment isn’t bad for the monthly price and the guest pass is great.
The reason why I am giving it one star is because I have to pay a $ 15.00 cancellation fee and there is a 30 day cancellation policy so eos will bill me one more time within the 30 days. Also there is a annual fee of $ 55.00 every year.

Funny that this gym doesn’t have higher reviews because I love it! Great equipment, clean facility, friendly staff, good management and the best trainers! The gals in the daycare are great– I have no reservation leaving my kids theres. Shelby, the daycare manager is super! The classes offered in the membership are excellent! D Campbell is one of the trainers and also facilitates a number of the classes. If you want to see results, she’s your go to gal! Definitely knows her stuff. The gym offers tanning, and guest privileges at a nominal fee and membership is only $ 9.95. I compared several other gyms before making my choice to join EOS and if you’re looking for the most bang for your buck, they can’t be beat.

I love coming here, they have a great staff, I have been taking Ropes/​Cardio with D. Campbell and I have gotten great results I couldn’t ask for a better gym.

I would like to give this gym 3.5 stars. Unilocal,please update the rating system so we can give half-​star ratings! Ok, thanks…
This gym is close to my home and I thought it would be a good idea to have an alternative fitness option for the upcoming summer months. Summer living in the desert is not a joke! When I dropped in for a quick look-​see, I met with the assistant manager, who tried his best to gauge where I was and what I needed re: fitness goals. I said I just wanted a membership that gave me access to the group fitness classes and the cardio/​weight equipment. He gave me a free week pass to try out the gym and the group classes and I have to say that I was more impressed than I thought. I tried the Ropes and Cardio class, the Club Box, and the Tai Chi class during my free trial week. The Ropes and Cardio class was great; it’s an hour long class that splits the time between upper body strength training with heavy ropes and cardio (sometimes on the machines, sometimes in the group fitness room). Club Box was fun and it sure made me miss my taekwondo school back in Vegas! Tai Chi is not for me at this time, as I’m looking for more cardio; I thought I should check out something «slow» and «lengthening,» but I just got bored and impatient. Probably says more about my state of mind than the class…
Machines are good, not the best, but they work fine. Locker room was clean. There’s not a large stretching area and there’s only one group fitness room. Definitely a no-​frills place.
Staff members seem nice enough, but the overall vibe I get from most of them seems to be more like «when-​is-​my-​shift-​over» than «hello!-welcome-to-EOS!» There are 2 membership options: the first is location specific (your membership is good only for the location you choose) and the second is good for all EOS locations. I got the first kind of membership, which is $ 9.95/month (I got my membership during a promotion week, so my annual administrative fee is $ 39/​year). If you want to cancel your membership, you have to give EOS at least 30 days’ notice ($ 15 cancellation fee). The second multi-​club membership is $ 19.95/month, same $ 15 cancellation fee, and higher annual admin fee (I am not certain how much, though).
Pros: open ²⁴⁄₇! Great group fitness classes. Inexpensive monthly fee. Pay month-​to-​month instead of committing to a longer period of time.
Cons: basic equipment. Not fancy. No pool.
Solid place to get your workout in whenever you have the time.

The only reason I still go to this gym is because of an amazing trainer at EOS formally Gold’s Gym. D Campbell is amazing, dedicated and knowledgable. She helped me start working out again after a hip injury. With her skills and knowledge I was able to start out without injuring myself and work up over a 6 month period. I hardly have any issues with my hip now and I am working on building strength like a normal uninsured person.
If you have ever had a injury that needs special attention go to EOS Fitness and ask for D!

I am a member of the EOS gym in Ahwatukee. I joined the gym to help lose weight, but wasn’t successful until I decided to go that extra step and pay for a trainer. I’ve been with Phoenix (trainer) for over three months and I’ve lost weight, inches, and he has provided me a realistic food plan that I control – no calorie counting, no counting of points, no whacky diets that require vinegar or hormones. Phoenix is also working with my physical limitations, and he has strong knowledge of human anatomy. I am happy with my progress, and I know I will reach my goal weight by the end of October.

Pros:
Great for guys and girl who like to lift plenty of weights I don’t think it would ever be crowded in the weight area
Nice clean locker room and sauna
Child watch looked nice (don’t have kids just looked)
Classes offered
Cons
Ill informed staff (I don’t really blame them I blame training in the merge)
Outdated/​broken/​Mis-​matched cardio equipment
Not enough cardio equipment
Everything in one room (personal preference)
I didn’t join, but I think people should try it out everyone has a different opinion. Especially if you are a weight room person

False advertising… Their hold music says there are no fees to join then you talk to the guy and Surprise there are fees. The guys response, «I didn’t make the message ’ what an ass! Buyer beware!
