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.

Great locally owned gym with 24/7 access, classes, and welcoming environment. My first day at the…read moregym it was great to see all the regulars who know each other, are supportive and great one another, but who workout independently. This gym has much better vibes than other big corporate 24/7 gyms, but still has the same access to machines and class options! I'm new to this gym but looking forward to being a long term member.

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.

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...

The amount of strength you can build in a short amount of time doing these workouts is amazing. I am not very motivated to jump on the treadmill at home, but I will get off my butt for a PureBarre class! That's somewhat because I'm paying for it, but also because of the camaraderie that's built there. I encourage everyone to give it a try. You won't be disappointed!

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.

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.

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.
