About Hilltop
Hilltop Club was built from the ground up in 1998, our first club in a new city—an exciting milestone for our team and the Rio Rancho community. At the time, Intel hosted a small Defined Fitness inside their facility, and employees were eager for a full-service location nearby. In January 2023, we closed the original Hilltop Club and opened a much-anticipated new club for Rio Rancho and neighboring areas like Corrales, Skyview Acres, Oakmount, Trinity Estates, Gateway North, Sabana Grande, and near Vista Verde Memorial Park. The new space features our largest turf functional training area and a Venice Beach–style workout yard, built for serious training and sunny New Mexico days.

CLUB VIEW
I have been attending the Hilltop location since they opened and I absolutely love it! The gym is spotless, the equipment is well-maintained. There are many classes included in your membership. There is an amazing selection of cardio equipment / including 12 stairclimbers!! You can always get on whatever cardio equipment of your choice. I would highly recommend Defined Hilltop for all your fitness needs.
I love my personal trainer, Rebecca. She showed me how to use the machines and how to exercise in the pool. The whole staff in there are good people, very knowledgeable and friendly. It’s nice and clean. I absolutely love Defined Fitness.
Mariah and the staff at the Hilltop club was extremely helpful, professional, and made the signup experience feel like they cared about me as a new member. I definitely recommend signing up at your nearest Defined asap!

Built for Serious Training
Hilltop is home to Defined Fitness’s largest functional training turf area across all its New Mexico locations. The club also features a Venice Beach-style outdoor workout yard called The Yard, designed for year-round outdoor training in New Mexico’s climate. Members use the turf and The Yard for lifting, running circuits, and structured programming.
Everything's Included
A standard Hilltop membership includes access to the pool, hot tub, sauna, HydroMassage lounge, GroupX classes, Kids Club, and The Yard outdoor workout area. All of these amenities are included on the base membership plan with no upgrade required.

Bring the Whole Family
Our Kids Club is free for all members and is open weekday mornings, afternoons, and Saturday mornings — so you never have to choose between your workout and your schedule.
Real Coaching, Real Results
Hilltop Club is the official gym of the New Mexico Goatheads and the New Mexico Chupacabra. Every member gets access to the same certified personal trainers and Team Training coaches who work with those athletes. Tell us your goal, and we’ll build around it.
Rio Rancho's Original. Rebuilt for What's Next.
Hilltop was Defined Fitness’s first club outside Albuquerque, born partly from demand by Intel employees who wanted a full-service gym nearby. The original location served the community for 25 years before closing in January 2023 to make way for our new, updated gym.
