Black Mountain Fitness is a gem. When I moved to North Scottsdale, I was very much afraid I would be forced to join one of the megachains, but luck led me to Black Mountain. The atmosphere is local and friendly and takes the dread out of going to the gym.

Recently, I had been searching for a local gym that I could join and attend on a frequent basis. Still living at home with my parents, I was looking for something that was close to home; that had substantial equipment for my weight training and cardiovascular needs; that had an affordable monthly membership; and, that had an atmosphere that was non-threatening. This is when I found Black Mountain Fitness. What can I say about BMF? Being the fitness and health guru that I am and choose to be, I can honestly say that Black Mountain has exceeded my necessities as well as expectations for a suitable gym. The gym has two sides: one for weight lifting and conditioning and the other strictly for cardio and stretching. The facility also offers benefits for reasonable prices such as locker rooms, assorted beverages, and of course it comes with the friendly greeting of the staff when you walk through the door. Not to mention its cleanliness is impeccable for being such a petite place. When I go to the gym, I am focused and ready to work out…no distractions. I can walk right in and just do my thing! The aspect about Black Mountain that I honestly favor the most is the fact that it is small and not be selfish by any means, but not many people my age know about it! I have never been a fan of those huge community gyms. Most importantly, I have actually made friends with some of the other members that attend and can only boast of the personable staff that with everyday I have become more acquainted. Black Mountain as a whole, meaning the people and the gym itself, have helped in keeping me motivated for my fitness goals and have only heightened my excitement for future accomplishments…which has kept me coming back! Black Mountain surely does exhibit its slogan: “Where the locals get fit!” So, hey, be a local, and join today…you will not regret it.

I joined Black Mountain Fitness in August of 2006 because of the friendly staff, knowledgeable personal trainers and the variety of group fitness classes offered.
Black Mountain Fitness gives you the feeling of being in your own personal gym. It’s never too busy and you usually see the same members and their smiling faces. If you are looking for a clean gym with cutting edge fitness equipment then I highly recommend Black Mountain Fitness.
