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.

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.

This is actually a very good gym. I started here after the Northway mall location roof collapsed…read more And this location is by far better than the Anchorage locations. (I have not been to the new Penland location yet). The locker rooms and have their own locks. The equipment is always clean. It is rare that something is out of order. (although the elevation on a treadmill has been out for a while now). The staff is nice and respectful. The gym is well lit, the sun shines through the windows well. The only downside is the 5:00 to 630 rush time is busy and the parking can be a pain at that time. All though the Penland Park location is closer to my house I will sick with this location.

Planet fitness in ER is a quality gym, especially if you were going to Body Renew in the past. They…read moremake good use of the space, getting as much equipment in there and a variety to boot. You're not stuck facing a wall on cardio equipment and each one has a tv with direct tv attached to it for ease. The music playing in the gym has been pretty good and I did notice you can snap a QR and add music to play over the speakers. The staff have been quite nice and the facility is clean. It's a little weird that there are giant bowls of candy at the front desk when most people there are trying to change or maintain a lifestyle of health & fitness. For those that are new or nervous in the gym, the circuit training is a great introduction. 30 minutes of weights and cardio, one step/machine at a time. We enjoy the hydro loungers at the end of our workouts, which is quite a nice way to relax afterwards, for a few minutes. What I don't like is the lack of privacy... sure you're dressed but whenever you're laying there, everyone that walks by looks at you like you're on display. I know, I may be weird about this, but a privacy curtain would be nice. I do wish there was a sauna or steam room to go along with the black card perks, but it's not a necessity, just wishful.
