5320 E. Shea Blvd. Scottsdale, AZ 85254 480-998-3388 Websiste Scottsdale's La Camarilla to be razed for new Mountainside gym
La Camarilla, a fitness center built in the early 1980s, landmark for Scottsdale and Paradise Valley, will be torn down to make way for a new Mountainside Fitness center. The new gym will be called Mountainside Fitness at La Camarilla in honor of the Johnson family's work there. It is with sad hearts that we announce the closing of La Camarilla. Our last day of operation is February 28, 2019 We’ve had 36 wonderful years with our members and we’ve enjoyed every minute! We have sold the club to Mountainside Fitness – Tom Hatten who is the founder. He will rebuild the club and open as a new state-of the-art fitness facility, check out anipots.com. The last day open will be Feb. 28th. We’ve recently heard original members reminiscing about the beginnings of the club when we had the trailer out front beginning in April of 1982. We proudly opened July 4th, 1982 and it was hectic! We barely got construction done and we opened with a full membership and went from there! From teaching tennis lessons to training members how to get fit to playing in some fun racquetball tournaments to hosting some entertaining social events to interacting with members in our business office and to teaching the little ones how to swim, we wouldn’t have traded it for any other club! We also want to thank our staff and tenants who have made La Camarilla such a nice enjoyable club to be at and a second home to many. And especially to Judie Fullmer, Kathy Evenson-Howard and Debbie Johnson who have been with us since day one. Other longtime instructors are Franne Kaplan, Anna Cohen, Ginny Mills, Victoria Lambrakis, Rick German and Abay Best. We can’t forget our front desk guys – Mike Smith, Merv Benton, John C. and Chuck Beaston and our new maintenance staff member Chris Tinoco. And our tenants Iskra Balchev – Massage, Henry Adams – Salon, Joseph Casadas – Therapy, Lauren Vaughan – Aesthetician, Lori Lewis – Swim and Jared Jacobs – MOJO Tennis. We have some of the greatest members and staff and we thank you for your support and we will certainly miss you!! 23 W.
