This gym is extremely overpriced for what you get. $95/mo for some weights and machines that you can find at any gym in town with nothing more to offer. Other gyms for this cost or less have saunas, tanning, pools, yoga studios, classes, etc. Not here. The two newest staff members are very unpleasant with one of the girls going as far as chasing you down anytime shes away from the desk when you scan in and practically accusing you of not being a member. On top of that the same girl has a habit of putting things away before anyone is finished, I've seen her do this to the point someone will eventually yell at her. Any time you step away to grab water, go to the bathroom, or even just walk around in between sets she immediately cleans up after you even if it's obvious you're not done. She also seems to think everyone should workout in 100% silence so if the weights ever make any noise or if someone makes even a quiet grunt she'll tell the manager who then calls you to say there's been noise complaints about you (which is funny because whenever I've gone there's either people that are much louder or there's not a single person in the building so I'd love to know where the complaints are from). It's really not worth the price. read more

I've been a member at AFF for about a year now and I can honestly say it is the most well-kept facility in Anchorage. The staff and patrons all help to keep it clean and in good order. All the equipment is new and works without any jams, squeaks or sticks. The locker rooms are nice and spacious. Their showers are clean. Great gym for all your fitness needs. read more

I love the variety and quality of equipment they have. LifeFitness cardio machines, synergy 360, hoist weight equipment, kbs, battle ropes, dumbbells, a million bar attachments, and more will keep you from having s boring workout. The place is newer, still nice and clean, and not too busy. Nice and clean shower facilities, nice and bright and light in the dressing room. Lockers available but bring a lock. Bring your own soap; but hair dryers on site. Personal training is reasonable, $40/hr or they have a 12-session deal right now for $26/session. Downside is the drop in rates are crazy high, $30 is way outside the norm. If you're from town you can do a 10-punch for $20/visit, or of course just get a monthly membership. It's worth a visit to check it out. It's always my first choice when I'm visiting town. read more

Alaska Functional Fitness - View from the functional side...this gym has it all - Gyms Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

This is not your Alaska Club or your typical "club" gym. This does not have a sauna, a hot tub, or fancy water massage chairs. This is a real gym, that is well kept, and fosters a sense of community. Before you enter the gym you must take off your outside shoes-as they are not allowed on the gym floor. There are lockers to store shoes. Locker rooms are pristine and well lit. The equipment is top of the line, and taken care of. When something is broken the gym manager makes sure it get fixed within the next few days. The gym members recognize how great the facility is and respect the equipment-a nice change of pace. The staff is amazing, they are real people who greet you and say goodbye, they have conversations with you and care about how your day is going. One last thing is that this gym is on the more expensive side, and doesn't offer family packages. Which for someone who takes working out seriously will appreciate as little kids will not be wandering. This also weeds out many highschoolers from joining the gym-no complaints here. All in all, this gym stands above the rest and I will forever compare any and all gyms to this one! read more

Horrible service. I called several times and no one answered. I came in and asked for a 3 day pass which the advertised on their website. The manager said she couldn't offer me a physical copy of something proving I'm a resident. I tried to show her my utility bill on my phone but that wasn't good enough for her. Terrible service! read more

Clean facility with everything you could pretty much want. You can get a good BB'ing workout in or hop on over to the other side of the facility to do some HIIT/circuit training. Never too busy, never have to wait for equipment. Definitely worth the monthly membership price. Best gym in Anchorage. read more

I just checked this facility out for the three free days and after going to The Alaska Club, Functional Fitness isn't as fucntional for my schedule. They have state-of-the-art equipment and of all the times I visited, it was empty which is cool but not 99% of the time. Every now and then it's good to mentally push myself with more people and along with unfriendly staff, I decided to never return. I haven't looked back. read more

If you are looking for a basic gym with all the essential machines, free weights and functional fitness this is your place! I've looked all over Anchorage and even though this place isn't advertised as much and it isn't a chain, I promise it will not disappoint. The over all vibe is welcoming and the people are super friendly as well! read more
