Offers great all around activities with access to a pool which has two different pools, one for Kids, which has a wading pool, and one for older kids, which is equipped with a diving board, basketball hoop, and waterslide. There are on site in vending machines and in the cafeteria.

Good equipment, everything you need, and more. Friendly, but older crowd. They target the retired demographic. I wish they were open later. Rates are a high compared to other clubs in the area. I had to leave due to yearly rate hikes and no improvement on the club.

I have had my kids doing swimming lessons here for quite some time. I like the facility, but i will say the locker room for children to use is really dysfunctional. Also they are not consistent with their teachers for the beginning levels of swimming. I think this should be consistent because the young kids need time to learn to trust the teacher before actually getting the swimming skills down. Most prelevel kids are sooo nervous they need the stability of knowing they can trust the teacher, which takes time. I wish they had set teachers for the younger pre levels at least. Otherwise the place is super warm and welcoming, and we have been coming for years.

Nice neighborhood athletic club, lots of workout machines. Some I have never seen anywhere else. I really liked the circuit fitness machines, easy to use and you can do all the major muscle groups in 20 minutes. The facility is a bit old and could use some updating, but overall a very nice place.

Our family has been members of Lakeshore for over a decade. There is year around family swimming - outdoor swimming in summer. The club has everything to offer for all ages and fitness goals. The staff is always helpful and friendly. The fitness areas and bathrooms are always clean and well stocked.

Lake Shore Athletic Club is a family and community centered gym. It is not as trendy and flashy as other places, nor do people come here to be seen. We come to work out, swim, play basketball, take classes and so much more.The facility is well maintained, has a wide variety of programs and services, and caters to all ages. Yes, there are blue hairs here. Just as there are families and gym rats.The staff is wonderful. Childcare is available. And there's no obnoxious music in the background.The outdoor pool is gorgeous for summer fun as well. This place is truly a haven for exercise and relaxation.

Overall, this place offers a lot for the price of membership. However, considering that it's a lot more expensive than other clubs, it really (really) needs to be updated as it looks the same as it has since the early 1990's. It doesn't have the feel that the price point should dictate.

Lake Shore has 3 tennis courts. They are in very bad condition. Cracks in the surface areas big enough to break your ankle. All of the tennis nets are in need of repair (they are almost sagging down to the ground). Each year the tennis courts get in worse shape. The owners show no interest in repairing the problems. Don't join this club if you like to play tennis, you will be very disapointed and frustrated. These are by far, the worst courts in the Vancouver and Portland area.

Lakeshore is great, the staff are nice, the pool is in great condition. Haven't seen any leaks like the others are saying, the exercise room is good, and the gyms are good for basketball and other sports! LSAC is great!

Front desk staff is alright.Childcare group is great."Customer services", or should I say "no customer services" ranks somewhere between Walmart and Winco Foods, way below level of Goodwill. This is not just based one interaction, but numeral over the course of one year. There is not even proper telephone etiquette from that woman who claimed to be "customer service agent".Lots of things to do in one place, which is convenient, true.I paid so my kids would use the pool once a week.Not recommended unless you are desperate for a pool.
