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.

Management did respond with a generic message asking ME to contact the corporate office with my concerns. I did, NO RESPONSE. It gets worse. I show up at the gym today only to find that the hours have been reduced, again! Perhaps you should also reduce what you charge me for my membership. These are not the terms that I signed up for. Bait and switch. WAKE UP PLANET FITNESS!!! A gym that opens at 7 am is way too late, many people work out early in the morning. This place is a joke. I've been a member for years but the conditions and changes have me rethinking my membership. I do not recommend becoming a member here.

You won't necessarily work up a sweat, but it will definitely be a challenging workout and you will certainly feel it the next day. The instructors and owners are super friendly and nice. There is never a need to feel embarrassed or uncertain of what to do here. The instructors will help you every step of the way and everyone takes care of the newbies. The free intro class on Saturdays is a great and easy way to get introduced to everything about pilates and Studio One. I'm totally a fan of pilates now. I wasn't even looking to lose weight or inches, but I grew 1/2 an inch and lost several inches off my waist in less than a month. There's lots of classes to choose from and they regularly have special classes and special deals and discounts. So come on down and check out Studio One. You won't regret it.

I'm AMAZED at the sheer variety of machines at this location. There's plenty of space, it's not to crowded and you never have to wait for the machine you want, even during the busiest hours. This location is much bigger than the midtown location which makes it worth the few minutes extra drive to not have to compete for machines. Everyone is really polite.. no meatheads, which is pretty much Planet Fitness' "thing" This is a gym for regular people although there are a lot of body builders who go here, they know intimidation is not permitted which is awesome. A plus. Prices are reasonable, look for sales, not crazy about the bank deduction thing, but whatever...

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 recently visited the new Nordic spa at the Alaska Club East. The pools and saunas themselves were…read moreclean and well maintained, and I'm glad Anchorage has another Nordic-style spa option. However, there were several aspects of the experience that made it fall short for me, especially considering the non-member price point. The biggest issue was the changing room setup. I did not realize the spa uses the regular gym locker room rather than having a separate spa-only locker and bathroom area. There was very little privacy for changing, which really took away from the relaxing spa atmosphere. I also had no idea guests are expected to bring their own lock for the lockers. The FAQ mentions bringing sandals, but I never saw anything mentioning needing a lock. At Alyeska Nordic Spa, lockers are already provided and ready to use, so I assumed this would be similar. I wanted to change in the shower or bathroom stalls for more privacy, but both were extremely small and narrow with nowhere to hang a bag or place belongings while changing. There really needs to be a more functional and private setup for the spa. I also think the spa would benefit from a private entrance for spa guests instead of entering through the gym itself, aside from existing gym members. It would immediately make the experience feel more elevated. There also should be a bathroom directly inside the spa area so guests don't have to return through the locker room/gym spaces during their visit. Atmosphere-wise, it feels much simpler than other Nordic spas. The wood fencing around the spa is a nice natural color but doesn't create the immersive feeling of being surrounded by nature as is what a Nordic spa is all about, like how Alyeska does. My other major issue is the pricing. At $95 for 90 minutes for non-members, it feels extremely overpriced for the overall experience offered. For comparison, Alyeska Nordic Spa is around $120 for a full-day luxury experience 10am-9pm with significantly more amenities, a much more seamless setup, and a far more immersive atmosphere. I understand this is a different type of facility, but the pricing should better reflect the size, amenities, and overall experience being provided. Personally I think a non member price of $55 would have been much more reasonable. Overall, it was clean and enjoyable in some ways, but it felt more like an enjoyable outdoor pool/hot tub experience. There are definitely improvements that could make the experience feel more polished, spa like, and more worth the current cost.

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!

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.
