Gym recommendations

Hey ladies-

As some of  you know I used to be a strength coach at ASU, well now that I'm a stay at home mom I'm looking for a cheap gym membership.

Or even better a place where I could teach spinning or strength training classes instead of paying for a gym membership.

Ugh unfortunately my spin cert has lapsed so I'm wondering if I can find a place that will hire me without it...I've been teaching for 6 years!

I NEED to start lifting again I'm 14 lbs UNDER my pre-pregnancy weight I need some of my muscle back!

Anyone know a place or can put in a good word for me to get hired/or has a cheap membership since I don't have a lot of spare cash?

Thanks!

Re: Gym recommendations

  • The North Phoenix Baptist Church on Central and Bethany Home Is suuuuuper cheap, and you dont have to be a member of the church or even that religon (Dh and I used to go to the gym, not the church)

    Its pretty impressive. They even have an indoor track and rollerskating rink! Though its an extra $2 each visit if you want to rollerskate.

    They also have classes like yoga and all that jazz

    I know they give discounts to families that join or it was like $60 for like 4 months (its been a while since weve renewed)  

    here's their number if you want to call for more info 602-707-5903

  • I'd try one of the community colleges for teaching and/or VERY cheap memberships ($75/semester!!!).  Scottsdale CC has a newly renovated gym, complete w/ an indoor track and lots of spin/dance/etc. classes.  If that location isn't convenient for you, there are CC's all over the valley.

  • I don't know how convenient it is for you, but I work out at Tumbleweed Rec Center in Chandler.  It's $30 a mo. for residents, $38 for non-residents.  There's no initial fees and it's month to month membership.

    If this is too far, I would check out the city of Mesa or Tempe and see what they offer.

  • We go to Lifetime Fitness in Scottsdale (but they have a few others in the state) and their spin classes are AMAZING. I love them! Plus, the rest of the gym is awesome as well.
