Mountainside Fitness runs clubs in Arizona. Most clubs have a Peak Performance Zone, recovery massage chairs, and functional training equipment. I went through their clubs, amenities, and prices so you know what you're getting.
Mountainside clubs cover cardio, free weights, and machines. Amenities vary by club, so check your club's page. Most of their clubs also have:
You'll find these at some clubs:
Tom Hatten founded Mountainside Fitness in 1991 while he was still a student at Arizona State University. The first club was in Mountainside Plaza in Ahwatukee, Arizona (Mountainside Fitness). Craig Cote is CEO (KTAR).
None of Mountainside's clubs are open 24/7. The most common schedule I found:

How much you can expect to pay for the entry-level membership every month
Mountainside gets the basics right and adds a few extras.
Recovery massage chairs at most clubs.
A $0 Medicare membership at every club I checked, if your plan qualifies.
Courts. More than half the clubs have a basketball or pickleball court.
Mountainside does plenty right. A few gaps are worth knowing before you sign.
Childcare is only at a few clubs. If you need it, confirm your club has it before you join.
No club is open 24 hours, so late-night and very early lifters are out of luck on some days.
Saunas are rare. Only a handful of clubs have one.
Mountainside posts the same rates at every Arizona club I checked in October 2026:
Every club I checked also lists a $0 Medicare membership, so check if your plan qualifies.

Does Mountainside Fitness take Medicare plans?
Yes, if you want a well-reviewed Arizona gym with courts and recovery massage chairs. Dues are $38.85 a month on a 12-month plan, and there's a $0 Medicare membership.
It fits you best if you play basketball or pickleball. If you swim, count on childcare, or train late at night, Mountainside is a weaker pick, because only a handful of clubs have a pool, only a few clubs offer childcare, and no club is open 24 hours. Google reviews average 4.5 stars across the chain, so read your club's reviews and take a tour first.
My take: Mountainside is worth a tour if you want courts, recovery chairs, and a well-reviewed club, and you don't need 24/7 access.
