The Captain Cook Athletic Club is located in the basement of this hotel which is located in Downtown Anchorage.
Jojo M.

Anchorage, Alaska This workout facility is located at a hotel in downtown Anchorage. It's also open to non- hotel guests for a fee. There is a pool and a jacuzzi in addition they offer a few classes, these are set up co-ed but the actual workout areas that include weights and cardio machines are separated (not co-ed). It may be less crowded if you went at off hours however it's overall size is small and equipment selection is limited. There are some weights but very few options in comparison to the availability offered at other facilities. The pool option is nice because not all gyms offer a pool. There are multiple tvs in the workout area and headphones are supplied. This facility offers a more spa like setting with it's additional amenities just to reference a few they offer robes, sweat pants and a t-shirt to use, towels, toiletries, hair dryers, tea, coffee, water, massages, wifi and a lounge with a large flat screen tv. If your workout mainly includes swimming laps, or consists of basic cadio machines, or if you're interested in steam or dry sauna, tanning, or getting a massage followed by relaxing in a robe while sipping tea in the lounge while watching tv or reading the newspaper this club would offer you that experience. If you're just visiting for a few days you may find this gym acceptable but if you are looking for a larger selection of workout equipment and more classes or if you're a local seeking a larger gym with more activities this club may not be adequate enough to meet your needs. If you are seeking to lift some serious weights and get a full workout this gym most likely would not be the best fit for you (no pun intended) The club is clean with the exception of the wet sauna that has an unpleasant odor. Replacing all the tiles inside may eliminate the odor and in turn make the wet sauna more engaging. Overall the staff is friendly, professional, accommodating and they refer to you by name. I hope this review has been helpful.

Adventure awaits!

The Captain Cook Athletic Club has become a mainstay of my morning routine. The club is separated into a men's and women's side, the exceptions being the pool and group exercise room. Everyone who works out here is friendly and it has a real community spirit. It's not trendy but has a classic elegance about it that I adore. The staff is friendly and constantly works to ensure a positive experience for members.

This gym is extremely overpriced for what you get. $95/mo for some weights and machines that you…read morecan 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.

I've been a member at AFF for about a year now and I can honestly say it is the most well-kept…read morefacility 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.

A big thank you to Body Renew Anchorage for helping me transform my life starting at the beginning…read moreof 2026. It has been four months now, and I feel strong and agile in my body. I was looking for a trainer that would actually listen to my requests and goals, as I have had some not great experiences in the past. I have been working with Jay three times a week. He has not missed a session (one of my issues from other gym/trainer experiences) and he always has an absolute winning, positive attitude. I came in about fifty pounds overweight and terribly out of shape. I am also not a gym person so this has been a big learning curve. Jay has always taken the time to respectfully and patiently answer my many questions. I am always impressed with his vast array of knowledge. And the staff midday, when I train, are just wonderful. Shout out to Sydney, Mia and Christian who are super friendly and helpful. They feel like my own cheerleading team! The gym is quite large and there are plenty of different machines to choose from. The members are all shapes and sizes and walks of life, and I don't ever feel shamed or excluded. If you are looking for your gym home, and especially if you are looking for a trainer, stop by and chat with Jay at Body Renew Anchorage!

This review for The Alaska Club for specifically for the East location…read more My doctor recommended I take the PREP Program which gives you an in-depth guide on how to get started on your weight loss and how to use the machines. It cost about a $1 a day for 60 days, then you decide if you want to stay with the club or not. I started in December 2019 until mid February 2020. You are guided by an RN who monitors you and a specialist at the gym who works on making you a plan and shows you how to use the machines. The PREP program is located in sections throughout all the Alaska club gyms around the state of Alaska. The main PREP program is located at the East location where you will need to attend for the first month at least twice a week. The program is really good and very helpful! I can't express how much this works and how much help you get. I wish I could remember the names but the RN and the Gym specialist were wonderful and were eager to see you succeed. Now, one complain I hate was my that this was doctor recommended and I had been monitored by my doctor for sometime. My blood pressure tends to read high on EVERYONE's machines. it's actually not that high, it is high but not to a point where this issue I am about to complain about irritated me. The RN was concerned, I told her that is was her machine. she said that if I can't get my blood pressure down that she doesn't feel comfortable with me exercising. My issue is that, before you take peoples money, maybe screen first for concerns. I basically had to get my doctor to tell her to leave me alone and I basically decided not to finish the program the second month at the East location. I understood her concern, but when you only have 60 days and you don't feel comfortable with me exercising and I already paid but my doctor was the one who cleared me, I see an issue with that. My suggestion is that before you take the money, maybe run the screening then is there is any issues have them taken care of then you can take their money. Anyways, I've recommended a ton of people to this program and hopefully they have decided to join or try it. Now, my second part of the review has to go to the the people who sign you up. You can see my review about South club, and I fully stick to that review. I first got information from Brandon who gave me details on cost, I needed to join the South club because I live on the South side of town. No pressure, no issues, no sales tactic or pressure with "this deal ends today" shit. I finally decided I was going to join the Summit club, I signed up with Steven, again there was no pressure, no issues, no sales tactic or pressure with "this deal ends today" shit. He helped me decide and compare prices and it was easy! There was another young black man who helped out as well but I forgot his name so you might have to check with Steven. This gym is awesome and I would actually prefer to have a membership here at this club. Your sales team is wonderful, you PREP program is great and helpful! It really sucks that I have to drive to this gym to have had to speak with sales but I drove to this location because I knew I wasn't going to get bullshit or sales. This is a big plus! I know people complain a lot about The Alaska Club, but if you have issues, I would just run to this club and see if they can't help you. I actually say if you are located near this club to actually go here lol. Thanks for being helpful! Melody

Alaska Club just seems really poorly managed. I threw a birthday party here and noticed the week…read morebefore that there was something going on and a big portion of the area was shut down. I asked the front desk and was told they were closing things for reupholstering, and that someone would check on the timeline and give me a call. No one ever did. I followed up--no response. I left a voicemail to the general manager directly and never heard back. Then today there was water leaking from the ceiling in the pool room by the wall. I noticed when it dripped on me and saw there was already a big puddle on the floor. There were multiple holes/cracks in the ceiling and evident water damage. I told the front desk, one person followed me to have me point it out, then left. Forty-five minutes later nothing had been done no signs, bucket, cleanup, etc despite a bunch of extra staff around for a Nordic spa event. Staff were also talking about the steam room in the locker room being down but the one in the Nordic spa was working. It really feels like all the attention is on the new Nordic spa while the rest of the facility is suffering. Overall, just really poor communication and lack of upkeep.

I bought a membership here for several reasons:…read more 1) At times, life gets a little too busy to find the time to work out. This place gets you in and out in well under an hour (hence the 45 in F45). 2) You don't need to worry about adding structure to your workouts. These guys take care of that. 3) There are several class options per day (around 5-6), leaving me with less of a reason to use lack of time as an excuse for not working out. 4) The work outs are full body. 5) The staff is awesome. They're basically your personal trainers and they provide great motivation during your workouts. 6) The prices are reasonable and they offer a few different plans. (Unlimited for a year, 8 classes/month, month to month). The only thing I don't like about F45 is your membership is only valid at the location where you purchase it. Not great for someone who travels a lot.

I died. Ok that's a tad dramatic, but this class kicks your butt. There's something for everyone! I…read moream injured and wanted so badly to jump back into working out that I tried this class. I left in so much pIn and I know it'll be worse tomorrow, but if I wasn't already broken I'm sure I could have handled it. The class is very high energy. You're on a team of sorts and very quickly ind yourself cheering each other on. The trainers are very encouraging and make you feel really comfortable. It's not a huge gym but there's so much equipment and all the exercises are fitting for the space. You don't feel like you're on top of each other. All the exercises can be modified and the flow of the workout is so easy to follow. Aside from the music and the high energy, the trainers really know how to spool you up without it being annoying. It's a great time. As soon as I heal up I'm going back. I've got too many injuries to do it now, but literally the minute I'm cleared to do it again, I will.
