I used a mailer to go in and try a class and really fell in love with the place. It was one of the friendliest and most professional staff--that's a hard combination to come by these days. Staff were not snoody or aloof at all. Cecil …

Friendly staff and clean facilities! I love the indoor track and the overall layout of the place. They have a wide variety of equipment for custom workouts and a ton of different machines. Definitely would recommend.

Cecil was great and helped us out with a limited-time membership while we were doing volunteer work in the area. Awesome club--clean, with a nice variety of equipment and activities. Great staff too--perfect for families!

Alaska Club ER is clean & offers great workout areas for most people.The club has a lot of euipment & options, and is certainly convenient.However, I am disabled & have repeatedly requested a set of submersible stairs for the pool since my doctor recommended water exercise.(Being lowered into the pool like Moby Dick requires assistance both in & out - not cool!)Toe holds up the side of the pool are not an option for someone with a disability at all.I like the whirlpool but, being out in the common area, there are always kids (& hairy men 😛) in it - not pleasant.Too bad Ak Club East on Tudor's example was not followed with separate whirlpools in locker room.I've also requested seating in the locker room. (I didn't think a couple of folding chairs were too much to ask - still waiting so I can dress myself).Expensive guest passes, too - more people might join if they felt more welcome to try the facility first, or would remain members if bringing a friend once in a while didn't cost so much extra.So, once again, these requests would make it so much more pleasant & possible to use my membership.We'll see...

The design, equipment, professional knowledgable staff are all top shelf! Membership fee is higher $$ than other clubs but extras are worth it. Pool, steam, sauna. Club is focuses on fitness yet supports the needs for young growing families. Great location

As a visitor from out of town, Cecil welcomed me to The Alaska Club with several complimentary day passes. The kids' play area is a fun place, with an ever-watchful childcare staff. A+ for taking such great care of my grandchildren. The ladies' locker room is clean and an oasis before and after working out. I have found the staff from the front desk to the cleaning staff to go the extra mile to make my visits a pleasure. Thanks a bunch, Alaska Club!

The membership staff was very friendly and professional, they gave me an in depth tour of the club and showed me what equipment I could use to hit my fitness goals. They didn’t pressure or hassle me into making a decision. My wife and I met with a fitness consultant and determined what needed to happen for us to hit our goals and get the most of our membership.Thank you Alaska Club for making your customers feel like club members before we even sign up!

My wife and I joined the Alaska Club because it's near our home. We went back and forth on whether this was the right decision beforehand, but we finally decided to take the plunge in December. For a family membership, we ended up spending $149/month with an annual contract, which I still think is overpriced for what you get (minus 1 star for that). Of course, we ended up getting the plus membership for free for a trial period, and we will not be continuing that for a number of reasons.However, one of the main reasons I like this gym is because it has an indoor running track you can use. It also has a pool, with an indoor water park for the kids.I've had mixed experience with the friendliness of the staff (minus one star for that), but Alicia, who is usually there in the mornings, is always really friendly, and she had my name memorized the first week I was there.I would recommend this gym to friend, but only if they're not too pressed for cash. Otherwise, there are some more budget friendly options out there.
