Rails ActiveRecord has_many through association query - ruby-on-rails

Question

When I query directly against my database I get the expected result, but not in rails. I'm guessing it has to do with my associations and something bad I said about Ruby 3 years ago.
Postgres SQL Query:
SELECT users.email, members.software, members.files
FROM users INNER JOIN members
ON members.user_id = users.id
WHERE members.region_id=2
Result: "dan#gmail.com";t;t "dan#test.com";t;t
BUT from rails c:
> ←[1m←[36mUser Load (1.0ms)←[0m ←[1mSELECT users.email,
> members.software, members.files FROM "users" INNER JOIN "members" ON
> "members"."user_id" = "users"."id" WHERE "members"."region_id" =
> 2←[0m> => #<ActiveRecord::Relation [#<User id: nil, email: "dan#gmail.com">, #<User id: nil, email: "dan#test.com">]>
That snippet was the resulting query from pasting in what I have tried to create in my controller and hard coding the region id:
User.joins(:members).select("users.email, members.software, members.files").where(members: {region_id: params[:id]})
These are my models:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :members
has_many :regions, :through => :members
end
class Region < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :members
has_many :users, :through => :members
end
class Member < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :region
end
Is it the way I have associated my models or something else that I am missing?
Thanks!

What you are getting is active_relations object.
you can access the attributes like this
users = User.joins(:members).select("users.email, members.software as software, members.files as files").where(members: {region_id: params[:id]})
users.each do |u|
p u.email
p u.software
p u.files
end
