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 move every month, so finding a gym that doesn't have a complicated cancellation process is…read moreimportant to me. I saw reviews of so many other gyms in Anchorage continuing to charge clients after they canceled so I made sure the staff here knew I was only wanting to pay for 1 month. The staff is wonderful here, I was reassured they don't do that and they even offered for me to pay with cash. This gym also offers you two free InBody assessments, there is a sauna and steam room in the bathrooms, and it is now open 24/7!

In our humble opinion the YMCA is a best buy for a pool and gym facility in Anchorage. We were in…read moreAnchorage visiting family for an extended period of time during the holidays and wanted to keep our daily fitness routine. For many years we had been loyal Alaska Club members but their are so EXPENSIVE! We're seniors so we checked out the Senior Center. While the Senior Center gym is pretty nice their hours of operation are very limited. So, we thought we'd give the YMCA a shot and we're so glad we did. It cost less than $65/month for unlimited access. We could pay one month at a time bring our grandchildren. They are open from early in the morning to pretty late at night. They always have at least 2 lanes open for lap swimming and their treadmills are solid, industrial models with cable TV screens. They provide 2 clean towels and a large locker with a lock for free and you can also reserve a small locker (you provide your own lock) if you want to leave you exercise shoes or toiletry. It is so unfortunate that we lived in Anchorage for many years and never considered using their facilities. Oh yeah, they are just about to open a brand new addition that sounds like it will be first class. Hint - their app really isn't worth using as they haven't figured out or assigned someone to really make it work or keep it updated.

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!

Absolutely terrible gym. They overcharge you for your bi-weekly payments then will not tell you the…read morereason. Their gym is also disgusting, nothing luxury here. Tanning beds are old and nasty + never cleaned, tanning beds have hair, dirt, and blood in them. As far as the rooms go they are filled with dust going up the walls. They do not take care of their gym. The staff as well are terrible and WILL mock you. Ive had multiple staff get off shift and then go out of their way to watch and glare to make me uncomfortable, not the kind of place you want to work out. The staff will also laugh at you if you are having a bad day or do not want to interact with them. Ive also seen staff actively touch and makeout with their s/o in front of customers along with touching and grabbing of parts... terribly inappropriate and gross, no one wants to see that. They also are 24 hours which would be nice if you didn't have to pay loads extra for it. It's not included in the membership, of course they would make it just another thing they can get money from. (they lock the doors on you at a specific time unless you pay more). Overall management, terrible. Employees, terrible. cleanliness, all time low. GO ANYWHERE ELSE.

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

Very disappointing experience with a staff at The Alaska Club East on October 15…read more Our group was playing on the designated pickleball side of the gym while people played basketball on the opposite side. Kezia, the Assistant Operations Manager, approached us and demanded that we take down our net because basketball was being played and there were too many people playing basketball, despite both groups using their respective sides of the gym. When we respectfully asked for clarification on the policy, she couldn't point to a specific rule prohibiting simultaneous use. Instead, she repeatedly insisted we comply because we're being told to do so, eventually mentioning that she was instructed by upper management. And at some point said, "if you don't take it down, I will". We're paying members who joined specifically for pickleball, having been told that open gym operates on a first-come, first-served basis. We have no issue following reasonable rules, but the lack of clear policies and the dismissive, confrontational treatment from someone in management are unacceptable. Very disappointing. Our issue isn't with following rules or sharing the gym. It's about being treated with basic courtesy and respect as paying members. It's especially frustrating that these issues arose after our membership cancellation window had passed. We genuinely enjoy the facilities, but the way we've been treated by Kezia has left us feeling unwelcome. We hope upper management takes these concerns seriously and ensures a more respectful, professional experience for all members.

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 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.
