David Knicks

Very unprofessional and racist. The owner yelled and cursed at my girlfriend when she was complaining to a worker about something the worker did that she didnt agree with. Basically my girlfriend swiped in her keycard and let me in (Im a member too, I just didnt feel like carrying a key with me that day). I was approached by a female worker seconds later while I was using a machine inside the gym and was asked if I had signed a waiver. I found the question odd and simply responded with what waiver?. I went to the front desk and told them I was a member, the worker searched her computer and verified that I in fact was a member. I went to where my girlfriend was working out and told her what happened and she was upset because it was automatically assumed that I wasnt a member and I was sneaking in simply because I am not white. I have personally seen plenty of whites enter the gym with a friend without having that friend swipe a keyguard and not one of them was approached about a waiver or membership, my girlfriend has seen this as well. Hence why we thought it wouldnt be a problem in the first place. I went in to complain as well after I noticed two minutes had passed and girl wasnt back yet. I explained the situation with my side of the story and was simply yelled at by the owner and her worker. The worker then got all up in my face and stated that he would personally escort me out just because I was complaining about what we thought was a disgusting injustice in front of the owner and the owner thought it was perfectly fine that the worker did such a thing with a nod of approval. We handled the situation professionally but the workers and owner of the facility did not. They refused to apologize to us for how they handled the situation so we canceled our memberships. We no longer feel comfortable going to such an environment. Avoid this gym at all costs. Its cheap but its not worth the unprofessionalism, racism, disrespect and broken machines you have to deal with.

This is an excellent athletic club. Besides a wide array of workout machines, they offer many different classes for members. The instructors are incredible. I have been to other clubs and spas in the area but none have instructors who are as knowledgeable and motivational. Dawn offers well rounded fitness and water aerobics classes. Scott is a master of Yoga. Wendy is incredible leading the mat Pilates classes and stretch classes. Tammy’s power step class is a blast. When you leave Sunni’s stretching class, you feel like a million dollars. Everything Kai offers is well worth the time and effort. She can do everything! The Drums Alive class is the most fun ever! These are just a few of the activates that I’ve been able to attend. I’m sure the other classes offered are of similar quality. Fountain Hills is lucky to have this facility in our midst. I would highly recommend this athletic club to everyone in the area

This is a terrific gym! Ive been a member of this gym for over 15 years (when they were in their former location). Having numerous gym memberships in my lifetime, Peaks Fitness sets a high bar for others as it combines personal warmth with cutting-edge equipment. The owners are friendly and attentive, which makes the experience of working out at Peaks feel like being a part of a big, caring family. The state of the art equipment is beyond any Ive seen my 36 years of training. Their ongoing goal of providing the latest state-of-the art machines is impressive considering this isnt a Scottsdale gym. Its a first class environment that serves the serious bodybuilder as well as families. All are welcome. All feel welcome. What a gem to have in this local community.

This is a terrific gym. The facility is modern, spacious and immaculately maintained. It has a huge selection of exercise equipment, with many duplicates of popular machines so waiting to use what you need is almost never required. The variety and quality of class offerings -- including things like Zumba, interval training, muscle conditioning, Pilates, breathing and stretching, etc., etc. is fabulous. All instructors are knowledgeable, enthusiastic and sensitive to student needs. Personal trainers are available for a fee, and based on the sessions I had with Steve to develop a personal training program, they are well worth the price. The management and staff are friendly and responsive to member needs. Hard to imagine a better gym experience.

Ive thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Peaks Athletic Club. Everything about it is first class, starting with the friendly and professional staff. The facility is extremely clean at all times. Excellent variety of exercise equipment. Personal trainer Steve has been great, helping me design a program to meet my fitness goals. Ive belonged to other clubs where it seems geared for serious weight lifters/body builders and if you dont fit that profile, the members look down on you. Not so at Peaks. People of all ages and fitness levels are welcomed there. I should also mention the large swimming pool they have. This is the first time I have been excited about going out to exercise, and it is due to this well-planned facility and its helpful staff.

The rating for this gym can only be excellent and exceptional. The group classes are top of the line and always evolving with the latest that exercise science has to offer. The trainers and instructors are very passionate, and highly skilled in their professions. They really want to see you succeed with your personal goals and have fun at the same time. The gym is organized on a highly professional level, yet owned by a family with great vision. Ross is very hands on and dedicated to meeting the needs of his member community. A wonderful place to be when you want to stay healthy and fit and independent for a long long time.

FANTASTIC option for working out in Fountain Hills-- I have been a member at this gym for 4 years, and was present for David Knicks outburst at the front of the gym after he clearly did not follow the rules of the club. Simply put EVERYONE must swipe in either at the front desk or at the door upon entry. Being loud, rude and out of line he caused a scene for well over 10 minutes. The owners are professional, and regularly present in the gym and in my experiences have been courteous to ALL members. The gym is clean, plenty of cardio equipment, tons of free weights- with a fair monthly cost.

This gym is amazing! The front desk staff are always helpful and friendly and they just replaced a bunch of old equipment. My favorite part is the outdoor patio where they have more equipment for exercising outside. They also have a red light therapy bed which I havent had the chance to use yet but it seems very promising. Along with all of these unique features they have common amenities that youll find at other gyms like a sauna and steam room. I also took a kickboxing class here which was super fun! I cant imagine going anyplace else to workout!

After one year at the gym, I am pleased with its services. The staff are professional and friendly. Trainers and class instructors are excellent! For many years, I was a member of Golds gym on the east coast. The staff at Peaks Athletics teaches the value of good nutrition; they give personal assistance in classes, with the use of equipment and they continually motivate members to remain healthy. The gym is also kept very clean and organized including the bathrooms and the Olympic size pool. Daycare included.
