The Alaska Club West: Opiniones
Experiencia fantástica: Sharay Samuel with the call reservation center helped me and solved all my needs today. She was able to help me with registering for swim lessons and wellness treatments. I really appreciate all her help today. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear that Sharay was able to take care of everything for you.
We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words. Thank you for being part of our community — we look forward to seeing you at the Club!
Experiencia fantástica: I was at the gym early one morning last month and saw Team In Training doing their class. They invited me to join. I had no idea what was involved. It is exactly what I needed to get me started with weight lifting. As an older athlete I know weight lifting is important, but I wasn’t sure how to get into it. Nate and the class is so good. I haven’t missed a 6am class in 4 weeks. That speaks volumes to how excellent the class is. Nate give instructions when need. The variety and intensity makes it a lot of fun. Thank You!!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Cheyenne was fantastic to work with!
We're thrilled to hear you had a fantastic experience with Cheyenne! Our team is dedicated to providing great service, and it's wonderful to see that reflected in your review. Thank you for sharing your positive feedback!
Experiencia fantástica: Love the space, kind staff, and constant improvement the gym, overall a nice place to workout at
Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re really glad you’re enjoying the space and noticing the continued improvements — that means a lot to our team.
And we’re not done yet We have more upgrades and enhancements coming soon, and we’re excited to keep building an even better experience for you.
Thanks again for being part of our community — we’ll see you at the Club!
Experiencia fantástica: Sharay Samuel, Call Center Representative is always very helpful in getting my kids enrolled into monthly swim lessons. She makes sure to tell me the times in case the classes are not back to back and made us a family account for easier checkout.
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Rosalie! We're thrilled to hear that Sharay has made the enrollment process seamless for you and your family. We appreciate your support and look forward to seeing your kids enjoy their swim lessons!
Experiencia fantástica: I was reluctant at first to use a personal trainer but Nate Boehm quickly changed my mind. His professional demeanor, knowledge of what activities address my issues, and his upbeat attitude has made me an advocate for using a personal trainer. I highly recommend Nate and the Alaska Club Personal Trainer team.
Thank you, Joanne! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Nate. His dedication and expertise truly make a difference. We're glad you’re now an advocate for personal training! Your recommendation means a lot to us and our team.
Experiencia fantástica: Cheyenne was very professional and helpful in guiding me through my online access as well as helping become more familiar with your up and online portal.
Thanks for the fantastic feedback, Kari! We're thrilled to hear that Cheyenne provided you with excellent support in navigating our online portal. Your experience matters, and we're here to help you every step of the way!
Experiencia positiva: The loss of the club for women is sad. The women's locker room at the west club is no where near as nice. Also no real mat area to work out/stretch on the floor. Also the astroturf flooring is not nice. workout equipment etc is fine, but club needs upgrades
Thank you for sharing your feedback—we understand why the loss of the Club for Women was disappointing, and we appreciate you taking the time to explain what you’re missing.
We did want to make sure you’re aware of the new 21-and-over strength training room at the West Club, which was designed specifically to elevate the workout experience. This space features brand-new, state-of-the-art equipment and includes a large, dedicated stretching and mat area for floor work and mobility—something many members were asking for.
We know the women’s locker room and flooring preferences are important, and your comments are being shared with our team as we continue planning future upgrades. In the meantime, we’d love for you to check out the new 21+ room if you haven’t already—it may better align with what you’re looking for in both space and functionality.
Experiencia fantástica: I enjoy the atmosphere, the other members and staff, clean locker rooms and equipment that is well maintained, not just as a member but as an employee too
We love hearing this—thank you! It means a lot to know you enjoy the atmosphere, the community, and the care that goes into keeping the club clean and well maintained. And hearing that from both a member and an employee makes it even more meaningful . We’re lucky to have you as part of the Alaska Club family on both sides of the club doors.
Experiencia fantástica: I enjoy going to the Alaska Club. It’s always clean. Everywhere. Someone is always cleaning the machines. And that is very much appreciated. I never feel rushed. I never feel that someone is looking at this old lady and wondering why I’m there. I’ve used a personal trainer, Nate. He’s been excellent. He knows what I had for injuries prior to starting out w him and has been conscientious and careful with me in building up strength and balance. I have more sessions and look forward to them.
Thank you so much — this made us smile big! We love hearing that you feel comfortable and supported at The Alaska Club (and trust us… there’s no such thing as “too old” in our gym ).
Huge shout-out to Nate for taking such great care of you and helping you build strength and balance the right way — injuries and all. Sounds like you’ve got yourself a great teammate!
We’re cheering you on and can’t wait to see all the progress ahead. Keep crushing it (at your own pace, of course)! ✨
Experiencia fantástica: Nice gym with a super convenient location
Thanks, Eden! We're thrilled to hear you enjoy our gym and find it convenient. Your support means a lot to us! We hope you are enjoying the new strength trainining room.
Experiencia negativa: After leaving a 1-star review four years ago, I’m disappointed to say nothing has improved.. and if anything, things have gotten worse. The most frustrating change is the decision to permanently remove the basketball court at the Alaska Club West. In Alaska, especially during winter, there are only a few realistic ways for people to stay active and connected. Basketball is one of those ways, and that court wasn’t “unused space” it was packed daily. It was one of the only consistent places for members to exercise, socialize, and stay mentally and physically healthy through the darker months. Now it sounds like leadership, whether it’s the board or Robert Brewster believes replacing that court with a “spa” or “21+ area” is a better use of space. That decision makes it very clear where priorities are: luxury upgrades and profit-driven amenities over the needs of the actual members. This change has already affected a lot of people, and it’s going to affect even more especially those who pay for a membership primarily to play basketball. When a gym removes one of its most used athletic features, it stops being a fitness club and starts becoming something else entirely. If the CEO truly claims to have dedicated his life to health, fitness, and athletics, decisions like this are hard to understand; because this isn’t promoting athletic community..It’s removing it. Great job Mr.CEO ♂️
Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. We understand how important basketball and community spaces are to many of our members, especially during Alaska winters.
The decision to repurpose the basketball court at Alaska Club West was made after careful evaluation of overall space usage and evolving member needs. While we know this change impacts some members, we want to note that basketball courts remain available at The Alaska Club East and South, and members are always welcome to use those locations.
Our goal is to provide a variety of wellness experiences across our clubs — from traditional fitness and athletics to recovery and relaxation — so we can serve a broad range of members and lifestyles. We truly value feedback like yours as we continue to shape our offerings.
Thank you for being part of The Alaska Club community.
Experiencia negativa: Tore out the Womens Club without notice, multiple calls to membership and cannot get ahold of anyone. Why am I paying for a gym that no longer exists? Have been a member 30 years and kept membership during covid times to support a local business, despite their unmaintained outdated facilities and lack of diverse classes during non working day hours. Hot yoga studio has no showers. Definitely do not recommend.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m truly sorry for the frustration this has caused. We recognize how long you’ve been a member, and we genuinely appreciate the loyalty and support you’ve shown over the years, including during COVID. That matters to us.
I want to address a few of the concerns you raised. The decision to close the Club for Women was not taken lightly. Participation in that specific facility had declined significantly over time, and after listening to member feedback, we made the difficult decision to repurpose the space to better serve the broader needs of our membership. Women make up roughly half of our membership, and the majority of women work out at our co-ed clubs. We remain deeply committed to providing safe, welcoming, and well-equipped environments for women across all of our locations.
That said, we understand that the Women’s Club held special value for some longtime members, and we sincerely empathize with the disappointment and inconvenience this change has caused. Our intention was never to make anyone feel overlooked or unheard.
I’m also sorry to hear about the difficulty reaching our membership team. That is not the experience we want for our members, especially those who have been with us for decades. We would welcome the opportunity to connect with you directly to review your membership, discuss alternatives, and address your concerns around amenities, class offerings, and facilities.
If you’re willing, please reach out to our membership team or club management so we can assist you personally. We value your history with us and hope we can find a solution that better meets your needs moving forward.
Thank you again for sharing your feedback.
Experiencia fantástica: Thank god I dont gotta worry about dumb kids sneaking in at night to use the basketball court anymore.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Member safety is always one of our top priorities, and we appreciate the opportunity to create environments that are secure and welcoming. We value members of all ages and work hard to provide spaces and programming that support everyone in our community.
Thank you for being part of The Alaska Club.
Experiencia fantástica: Love
Thank you!
Experiencia positiva: I think I’m being very kind and patient when I say it’s been interesting taking 3 yoga classes a week plus Pilates in the fitness room at West . Several times I’ve blocked off the door from fumes creeping under the woman’s side. It is especially tricky in shavasana trying to relax But…… with the freezing temps and no snow , it remains one of my only escapes.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Eleanor. We appreciate your patience and feedback while our facility is under construction. We also want to thank you for taking the time to talk with part of our managment team. As you can see by our call with take these things very seriously. Happy holidays!!
Experiencia negativa: Trash since closing West Basketball court .
We’re sorry to hear you’re disappointed about the basketball court being repurposed. We understand how important that space was to many members. We do want to make sure you know that full courts are still available at both our East and South locations, and we hope you’ll continue to enjoy playing there.
Experiencia negativa: My husband constantly complains they have no hot water. Its a weekly problem.
Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re very sorry to hear about your husband’s experience, and we want you to know that we take concerns like this very seriously.
We have been exhausting every effort to identify and resolve any hot water issues, including bringing in multiple professionals to assess the system. At this time, our facilities do have hot water, but depending on usage and timing, it may take a couple of minutes for the water to fully heat. If your husband encounters this again, we kindly ask that he let the water run briefly and notify our staff so we can address it immediately.
We truly appreciate your patience and want to ensure you both have a consistently positive experience. Please feel free to reach out to our management team directly so we can follow up in more detail.
Experiencia negativa: I have enjoyed going to the Alaska club West for 3 years. Unfortunately, they made the decision to shut down the basketball court at the West club which is is a main reason myself and many others joined. They made the decision without any input from their members, and gave a 10 day notice. My girlfriend joined because of the benefit of the woman’s only side, which provided a safe environment to workout in. They are closing that as well. We will both be canceling our memberships if the closures follow through. The review will change if they don’t.
Experiencia negativa: They gave us 2 weeks notice that they are forever closing the basketball court. Many people, myself included, have played basketball there for decades, this group of guys playing here is the only reason I have a membership. There has never been anything Alaskan about the Alaska club, they have always maximized profits in a low competition environment in lieu of serving their members, Alaskans. -They have membership rules that are intentionally inflexible and borderline predatory, and allow for no seasonality. -The staff and leadership don’t seemed to be trained in customer service, rather corporate convenience. -They survive from a competent and aggressive sales team -Things are constantly broken. -Cleanliness is questionable. -Rates are high. I’m glad my time with them is over.
Experiencia negativa: With the sudden closing of the women side my girl friend has no safe comfortable place to work out this is unacceptable to take away women’s safe spaces and we will both be canceling our memberships!
Experiencia negativa: Absolutely predatory practices. Reviewed the contract and this should be illegal. 18 months locked in and fine print that will cost hundreds to cancel should your circumstances change. When people complain (as most miss such fine print intentionally crafted so) they reply woth gaslighting saying "sorry you were unhappy with the terms you agreed to". When the fine print is numerous convoluted and ambiguous writing. Which is why they only present the terms at time of sale, rather than posting terms on their site. Anyone that can sell such a contract is a morally bankrupt individual.... please, I implore you take this thing home and read it. This little snake had the audacity to think i was stupid enough to sign it.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that you left feeling this way, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify how our membership agreements work.
Our membership terms are fully transparent, and every member receives a complete copy of the agreement at the time of enrollment. We encourage all members to review the terms carefully, and our staff is always available to answer questions or walk through any details before anything is signed. We do not hide our policies or present them in a misleading way — clarity and honesty are extremely important to us.
Our contract length and cancellation policies are standard for the fitness industry and are clearly stated in the agreement. They are not intended to penalize members, but to balance flexibility with operational costs so we can continue offering facilities, staffing, programs, and amenities across all of our locations.
We understand that membership terms may not work for everyone, and we’re always willing to discuss options when circumstances change. If you’d like to speak directly with a manager so we can better understand your experience and help address your concerns, please reach out.
Experiencia fantástica: I enjoy bringing my family here. I recommend this gym. My kids also love the playcenter. Nice, friendly staff and clean environment. Thank you!
Thank you, Janelle! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family enjoy your time with us. Our team works hard to create a welcoming atmosphere, and it's great to know the playcenter is a hit! We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
Experiencia positiva: Good atmosphere, easy to get in and out, fairly clean and maintained well.
Experiencia negativa: Seems like the workers stand around do nothing but make excuses of why things aren’t done. The locker room ran out of towels and the only excuse was “the clean team called out”. Okay? Hire reliable people that can do the job or pay them a reasonable wage. I don’t pay $100 plus bucks a month for excuses nor does any other member. The high ups don’t do anything about it I know that for sure.
Thank you for your feedback, Casey. We sincerely apologize for your recent experience and appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We're committed to improving our service and ensuring our team is better equipped to meet our members' needs. Your input is invaluable to us.
Experiencia fantástica: West club group power are the BEST way to hit all your muscle groups in a one hour workout!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Jennifer! We're thrilled to hear that you love the Group Power classes at our West location. It’s great to know you’re getting a full-body workout in just an hour. Keep up the fantastic work!
Experiencia negativa: Just cancelled because of my belongings being stolen and they’re charging over $500 for cancellation fee. Small price to pay for making the mistake of thinking this place was a good one. I highly recommend the YMCA. $6 per swim versus $177/mo for lackluster everything.
Experiencia fantástica: Alli, she is the BEST, not only teaching the class, but as a person, she take the time to get to know you and cares for you. I been coming to the gy for the past 20 years on and off and never no one has invited me or take the time to explain what a class was, she reach out to me when I was leaving and start talking and that God to that I been coming to the class for almost two months!!
Experiencia fantástica: I recently worked out at West vs normally going to South club. I was pleasantly surprised by how clean and organized everything was.
Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely love this place they treat my kids very good and they are very friendly and Clean and are always very nice and friendly and welcoming
Vinny, thank you for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you and your kids feel welcomed and well taken care of. Our team takes pride in creating a friendly and clean environment for all our guests. We appreciate your support!
Experiencia fantástica: Great Zumba class tonight. Calories burned successfully!!!
Thanks for the fantastic feedback, Chyll! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the Zumba class and got a good workout in. Keep dancing and burning those calories! We look forward to seeing you at the next session.
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this gym. It has just about any piece of equipment you could hope for, plus the gym stays open, so it’s nice to get in a little cardio while playing ball.
Experiencia fantástica: Motivation to work out can wane within 10min. This gym serves a large neighborhood. Many homes in walking distance. We say hello to each other and often comment about how much we like this centrally located, small gym. It has most of the same equipment as the South gym and a room for friends to gather and put in their own group work out routine. It has a tanning bed for light therapy in the dark of winter and walks off windows looking out at the trees and distant mountains.
Sally, thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that our gym feels like a community space where you can connect with neighbors while working out. We appreciate your support and are glad you enjoy the amenities we offer. Keep up the great work!
Experiencia fantástica: Love working out at this location on the women’s side and being able to have the privacy.
Thanks, Bloopsbule! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying the women's side and appreciate the privacy it offers. Your positive experience means a lot to us. Keep up the great work with your fitness journey!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love The Alaska Club! From the moment I walked through the doors, I felt welcomed and at home. The staff is AMAZING—so friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help. Whether I have a quick question about equipment or need some advice on my workout routine, they’re always there with a smile and great guidance. The facilities are top-notch—everything is super clean, well-maintained, and there’s a great variety of equipment for every fitness level. I’ve tried their group fitness classes, and wow, they’re fantastic! The instructors are motivating, and you can tell they truly care about your progress. It’s not just a gym; it’s a community. I’ve made so many great connections here and look forward to my workouts every day. I genuinely love being part of The Alaska Club family, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for a place that feels like more than just a workout—it's a whole vibe! Keep up the amazing work, team! 5 stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for your kind words, Terry.
Experiencia positiva: This is about a year into having this membership, so here's my honest review... The gyms are great. They each have their own perks. The fact that this one is open 24/7 is very convenient for my personal and work life. Some things I have noticed over the time though, have been large amounts of people coming in during the night hours where there is no staff and utilizing the gym. Most of them respect the nature of gym, while very few like to horse around with the equipment. As for the wet/dry sauna rooms, I definitely understand why it would be closed during the dark hours with no staff on-site. But at the same time I believe that anyone who signs up for this membership is also responsible enough to utilize that area as well, I mean we pay for it. (again, I get it can be a safety or sanitation issue so its just a personal opinion). As for the price to utilize all 3 sites here in Anchorage, it does seem steep but at the same time you have to look at the amount of maintenance that comes into replacing equipment, laundry service, upkeeping of changing rooms, etc. Each gym I've been to has always been clean, and proper signs posted on broken equipment.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jonathan! We're glad to hear you enjoy the gyms and appreciate the 24/7 access. Your feedback about the sauna and nighttime usage is valuable, and we'll take it into consideration as we continue to enhance our member experience. Happy training!
Experiencia fantástica: Чи тренуєте ви дітей віко 11 років?
Experiencia fantástica: The gym itself is nice, but parking is kind of awful. I don't typically do a review based on a parking lot and I'm probably telling on myself by parking near one door that apparently says no parking, but there was no cone where I parked, I simply took a parking spot that someone else had before me since I couldn't find parking anywhere in that parking lot after driving around three times and a guy says 'next time pay attention to the sign and cone'. Yes, I missed the sign, but I surely didn't miss a cone. It was his tone and no cone that kind of pissed me off and that I am new to the gym. And maybe he should be mad at the person who actually moved the cone, not me... 11/12 Edit review. The general manager called and was so friendly in explaining and understanding. That is what you call good service and great management. Serious kudos and thank you for that!
Experiencia fantástica: New member, Enrico from The Alaska Club helped set us up with a free week plus a free month. Professional and nice. Atmosphere is relaxed and including; lots of amenities and classes. Lea was also very nice. Set up a 12 month plan
Experiencia negativa: Are you aware that The Alaska Club is public access past staffed hours? That’s right! Why would you pay $120 a month to access the facility when you can have one of the many high school aged kids using the gym like a playground or homeless people leave the door open for you? Seriously, go here a few hours past closing and the door will be propped open so the kids can let their friends in or you’ll see them running back and forth to let their buddies through the door. It’s a complete joke. They’re loud, disruptive, treat the gym like a playground, slam equipment and cause issues. You’ll see broken equipment, weights, towels and garbage thrown everywhere. I was there last month and there was a kid on top of the hammer strength machine with his shirt off yelling. A homeless guy was wandering around making a mess in the locker room a few weeks after that. This is a constant issue and with what they charge for a membership, a complete joke. Alaska club charges Equinox prices for an LA fitness facility and a planet fitness experience. Brought this up to management and no resolution. I guess the “ we will fine you if you let in non members” sign up front is just a suggestion. Skip the membership, save your money and just show up here a few hours past when the front staff leave, the kids or homeless will let you right in.
Experiencia fantástica: Debbie’s Tuesday and Thursday yoga at West is great! Very relaxing, while you feel you got a workout. She is very welcoming and always has a positive and calming vibe in her class.
Experiencia positiva: I’ve had my membership here for years and love it. I like how clean it is and it has everything you need there. They are always trying to find ways to improve your experience as well. The only downside is I think you pay enough that you should be to access any facility.
Thanks for your feedback, Sean! We're glad to hear you love the cleanliness and our commitment to improvement. We appreciate your thoughts on facility access and will keep that in mind as we continue to enhance our member experience. Your input is invaluable to us!
Experiencia negativa: Nice gym but the manager Tasha needs more training on how she should treat her employees and customers. She's very unprofessional and got some serious attitude problem. She needs to go look for another job if she's lazy
Experiencia positiva: I went to Friday night Group Power with Vicky at West Gym. It was a good workout, thank you. But too hot with the heat going. After the third song, I peeked at the thermostat and it was 73 degrees with the heat running! Vicky said “don’t worry about the heat,,” but that was uncomfortable. Could you turn off the heat before class starts? Also it was hard to see Vicky because the lights above where she was standing were not on.
Hi Kate, thank you for sharing your positive experience with Dena's class! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed her energy and found the class fun and rewarding. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Experiencia negativa: Please hire a certified plumber to fix showers in women club locker. They are cold. I don’t know how someone should wait for the water to warm up, especially those of us who come to work out early and need to get ready for work, but after 10 minutes of waiting it was still cold. Also, not a single bottle of lotion in the locker room found. Please correct.
Hi Maria, thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying your classes at our West location. We appreciate your suggestion about a swimming pool, and we'll definitely take it into consideration. We hope to see you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Love the community and so many options for exercises and classes depending on your goals
Hi Dana, thank you so much for your positive feedback! We're thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the variety of exercises and classes available at our community. We strive to provide options that cater to everyone's fitness goals. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience!
Experiencia fantástica: A very nice gym with great equipment. The people and staff are always friendly from my experiences. Always clean and locker room is great along with the other amenities. Open 24 hours is also very convenient for someone like me who works late. Basketball court is also nice.
Hi Nicksen, thank you so much for your positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoy our gym facilities and find our staff friendly. We strive to provide a clean environment with convenient amenities like our 24-hour access and basketball court. We appreciate your feedback!
Experiencia fantástica: The men's locker room at the West location was consistently cleaner than the one in the South. There were always fresh white towels available, unlike the yellowish ones at the South location.
Hi Manchim, thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you found the men's locker room at our West location to be consistently clean and well-stocked with fresh white towels. We appreciate your business and hope to continue providing you with top-notch service at all of our locations.
Experiencia fantástica: Fun, friendly, and clean environment on the coed side of the gym for sure. Customer service is good, and plenty of equipment to go around. I super enjoy it.
Heath, we are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience at our gym! Providing a fun, friendly, and clean environment is always our top priority. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the customer service and found plenty of equipment available. Thank you for your 5-star review!
Experiencia fantástica: My personal trainer, Austin, did a wonderful job of helping me reach my fitness goals. I would recommend him to anyone.
Hi Michael, thank you for sharing your positive experience with your personal trainer, Austin! We're thrilled to hear that he was able to help you achieve your fitness goals. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to support you on your fitness journey!
Experiencia fantástica: Ali is the best Group Power instructor! she’s great at keeping the work out up beat & positive!
Hi Rose, thank you so much for the positive feedback about Ali as our Group Power instructor! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience with her. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts and hope to see you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Group Power with Alli R. Fantastic class and instructor who boosts the energy of the class and takes the time to know and encourage her participants!
Cassandra, thank you so much for sharing your positive experience with Group Power and instructor Alli R.! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the class and felt supported by the instructor. We appreciate your feedback and hope to see you back again soon!
Experiencia positiva: I was invited by management to provide a review, and to share any concerns prior to doing so. I did share those concerns and will discuss below. First, the good: Staff is great - very friendly, works diligently to keep towels stocked & premises clean. Trainers are great as well, willing to provide tips and leading a wide array of classes. Wide variety of equipment, but...one of my concerns was the diminishing number of stair climbers, my preferred cardio machine. Once there were eight, then six, then when I spoke to management, four. They've been steadily replaced by treadmills, which now number 18. One of those stair climbers has been out of service for over a week, and another failed this morning. Meanwhile only one treadmill was in use but both stair climbers were occupied. Another concern I shared was the running locker room joke about the lack of hot water in the showers. To the club's credit, this has been less of an issue since my call with a senior manager. Finally, I voiced concern that a few incidents left me with a feeling that the club managers weren't very concerned with the guest experience. So far I have no reason to change that opinion.
Experiencia fantástica: If you want a fantastic yoga class go to Xochitl F.. She is kinetically minded, cues well for upcoming moves and has a fun, dry sense of humor. You may not realize it until the next day but your body will feel it and thank you. She is a fantastic yoga instructor and has been a mainstay at the AK CLUB for years! LOVE HER!
Sherilynn, we are thrilled to hear that you had such a positive experience with Xochitl F. at our AK CLUB! We are glad that you enjoyed her fantastic yoga class and felt the benefits afterward. Thank you for your kind words and we hope to see you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: My massage with Rose was really great. She was patient, kind, and helped me relax with some good laughs. She lightened up when she hit a sore spot and took the time to understand concerns I had. Also the hot steam towels were lovely and the lotion/oil she uses is neutral smelling (thank you) and my sensitive skin did just fine with it.
Hi dani, Thank you for taking the time to leave a 5-star review about your massage at The Alaska Club West. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed your experience with Rose. We'll share it with the team and look forward to seeing you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: The West Gym is my favorite. Not to disparage the others, but West club is so warm and friendly. I love the classes there, too. I do have one small criticism though. I assume it's a staffing issue, but I've noticed the floor in the big workout room can be pretty dirty, even at 9:15 am. But all around, I just coming to this place!
Hi Patty, thank you for your kind words about our West Gym! We appreciate your feedback regarding the cleanliness of the workout room floor. We'll make sure to address this issue promptly. We're glad you enjoy coming to our gym overall and hope to see you again soon!
Experiencia positiva: This is a bright, clean gym with many amenities and a variety of classes. I look forward to exercising here. It would help me if they removed some equipment and opened up more floor space for HIIT-type workouts.
Keith - Thank you for the 4 stars! We appreciate your feedback and want to thank you for being a member with us. We have quite a bit of open floor space in our team training / turf area. Is there another area you would prefer more open space? Feel free to reach out directly to our team at marketingmail@thealaskaclub.com. Thanks, again!
Experiencia fantástica: It has been a very positive and energetic environment at the Alaska Club West and all the staff go above and beyond to make each visit pleasant and comfortable. I am always greeted with a smile and friendly attitude especially from Erick Hicks who help me with my membership sign up and the female staff at the women's side especially Cameryn and Bri at the front desk.
Hi Kara, thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you've had such a positive and energetic experience at Alaska Club West. Our staff, including Erick, Cameryn, and Bri, are always here to make your visits to the gym, pleasant and comfortable. Keep up the great work!
Experiencia fantástica: I would like to point out Kate Edge who typically is found at the front desk. Kate is an excellent and very helpful person to talk to. I am greeted with a giant smile and small conversation. Kate has shared with me new workouts she likes to try and also has offered very useful info when answering my questions.

Thank you, Yvette for your kind review and happy photo! We love to see our members' smiling faces and hear that they are enjoying the club. Your comments will be passed onto the team and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Alaska club is a great, friendly, upbeat environment. I enjoy the yoga and Pilates classes. Debbie and Julie are great instructors. Basically all the instructors are great that I’ve had. We have enjoyed the club for 13 yrs. Front staff are friendly more now than before. It cost a bit more but you also get to enjoy the classes.
Hi Heather, Thank you so much for your 5-star review of The Alaska Club West! We're so happy to hear that you've enjoyed the club for so many years, especially the Yoga and Pilates classes. We'll be sure to pass your comments onto our instructors and front desk team - we are lucky to have them. See you soon for your next workout!
Experiencia positiva: I'm only writing this review because they sent me an email. Among the bad experiences that I have had and I have not given up because of a pseudo instructor who yelled at me into the microphone in the middle of class, "pathetic" that was what Leah K yelled at me, when I started and I had a Significantly overweight, that at the time I made my complaint and they only responded "I'm not going to talk about that" I will never forget that horrible experience because apart from that that woman was very rude and racist to me, making ridiculous and absurd comments about me culture and my nationality. But they didn't want to talk about that, the bosses of that pseudo instructor, who couldn't stop me from wanting to continue with my weight loss. I just stopped attending her class and I started doing my routines based on YouTube and Instagram videos, I don't want to have that woman in my life around again, it was a horrible traumatic experience and I don't wish this horrible experience to anyone else. I can only say that the facilities are good, not the best because of a lack of cleaning staff in the women's bathrooms. Broken appliances or machines take a long time to be repaired. I don't have anything to say about the classes because I don't go to any of them, only with Dana, who she is fantastic. Not other classes, I wouldn't want to have the horrible experience I had before. I just go do my thing without talking to anyone and that's it. That's all I can say about the West club. The location of the place is very good
Thank you for taking the time to post a review. We will pass your comments on to a member of our management team.
Experiencia fantástica: I love the Ak Club West. From the moment you walk in, Blake is ready with a smile and his epic mullet- even at 6 am! The classes are the BEST; Melanie and Shelly are the most amazing, motivating, and fun spin instructors I have ever had. And when I'm through with my workout, I can walk down the hall to the Woman's club for a soak in the hot tub or a steam. I LOVE this place.
Hi Ali, thank you so much for leaving a 5-star review of The Alaska Club West! The MOD you mentioned is Blake, and he is indeed always smiling and welcoming - even early in the morning! We're so happy to have Blake and our amazing instructors, Melanie and Shelly. We're thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the club. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if we can do anything to enhance your TAC experience. Thank you for your membership and enjoy the club!
Experiencia negativa: This gym is by far the most greedy institution of its kind. After a bad experience at their club I requested to cancel. They will not do so without assessing fees that amount to half a year of membership dues. I asked the club to work with me take dues already paid as sufficient. They are threatening to send me to collections. No other gym in town will hand you a 7 page contract. I should have known better. Buyer beware. In this time of economic struggles do you really need to give your business to a facility that will not work with you and costs 2k per year?? Consider other options. Never again.
Hello Dan, we are sorry to hear that you had to cancel your membership. Our team strives to make all membership agreements clear and understandable before members sign up, including our cancellation policies. If you have further questions, please reach out to us anytime. We wish you all the best in your fitness journey.
Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of the Alaska Club for more than three years and use the West club exclusively because of the proximity to home. All the members and employees that I interact with on an almost daily basis have always been nice and welcoming. If I need help with a piece of equipment, there’s always somebody there to help me figure something out. I’m 63 years old and I don’t work out like all the young, really fit people that make up the majority of their clientele. Even so, I’ve never felt out of place or looked down upon because of my physical limitations. If anything, people are that much more willing to help me when I need it. Through the years, I have been a member of Curves, Planet Fitness, and the YMCA. No place made me feel more at home than the Alaska Club does. I look forward to my time at the gym every day. My health has improved tremendously and I’ve even lost a lot of weight. If you are on the fence about joining, I highly recommend become a member of the Alaska Club. I hope to see you in the gym.-Shelly
Shelly, thank you for sharing this. Your perspective is incredibly meaningful to our team.
Your consistency and commitment are inspiring, and it’s been a privilege to watch your confidence, strength, and health improve over time. Creating a space where members feel comfortable, supported, and respected—regardless of age or ability—is exactly what we aim for, and your experience reflects that in the best way.
We’re grateful you’ve chosen the West Club as part of your daily routine and appreciate the trust you’ve placed in us over the years. It’s members like you who truly define our community.
Experiencia negativa: The staff doesn’t explain the cancellation policy at all, so here it is. If you cancel there is a $150 fee, if you cancel within a year. And it doesn’t matter the reason. I cancelled because I was uncomfortable with the fact that cell phones are allowed to be used freely in the locker rooms and sauna. They have a rule that “you aren’t allowed to video or take pictures”. But of coarse anyone with a brain knows how easy it is to film without anyone noticing. And that people who would do such a thing are not going to be honest about it. There was no compassion whatsoever from the staff about my concern. The signs about cell phones aren’t clearly posted, or posted at all that I could find. And almost every person in the sauna had a phone out, either watching videos or making a call. Maybe I’m the crazy person who believes in privacy in a locker room. They also don’t prorate the month when you cancel, so I signed up on February 4th, and cancelled on March 3rd, and am forced to pay for the month. Plus the $150 cancelation fee. So it cost me $350 for three visits to the place , and when I realized how the rules were handled I cancelled. Nickel and diming is their specialty. I’ve never had service that bad anywhere.
Thank you for your comments. We greatly value the safety and comfort of our members when using the club and we do have signage prohibiting use of video cameras posted in our locker rooms; a rule that members are expected to follow. The management has been notified of your experience.
Experiencia positiva: I only wish there were more women’s bars in the general lifting equipment, for grip safety. Edited: comment on the numerous TVs appears addressed.
Hi Faith - Thank you for your feedback. I will pass on your feedback about the bars and TVs. We do limit the number of TV's in the locker room to 1 in the lounge area, and we can certainly monitor the volume. If you have any additional feedback please feel free to reach out directly at marketingmail@thealaskaclub.com.
Experiencia positiva: Very nice facility with good equipment, just make sure you don't go after work because there isn't that much equipment. 2 flat benches, 2 incline benches and one decline benches which were always occupied. I'd recommend going late at night or early morning/afternoon while everyone is working.
Experiencia fantástica: Clean, efficient use of space. Friendly staff.
James - We are so happy to read your review! Thank you!
Experiencia fantástica: I prefer the Alaska Club West over any of the other Alaska Club locations. I typically go around 6:45, 7am - it’s it’s just around the time the early risers begin to leave, and it gets a little less crowded. The staff is always friendly and does their best to greet you as you enter and exit the building. It’s more spacious in the free weights area, than any of the other locations, and it’s easy to make friends with other community members. It is a welcoming judge-free zone. I really appreciate that the club is always clean, locker rooms are kept well, and there’s not a single “messy” area of the gym. When bringing a guest, I bring them to this location specifically because of how spacious it is compared to the other clubs. Super satisfied with the service. Keep it up Alaska Club West!❤️
Geena - Thank you very much for your thoughtful review! It makes us so happy to hear you feel welcome and taken care of at the West club. Our West team is awesome :) We are grateful for your membership with us. Thanks again for posting your review!
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome club to be a member of, the staff are welcoming, members social and state of the art equipment for whatever your fitness goals may be. What are you waiting for, run down to AK club and let’s begin your journey to a better you
Tone, we couldn't have said it better ourselves! Thank you much for the nice review. We are happy to hear you are having a great experience. Keep working out and stay strong and healthy!
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going to the Alaska Club West for 5+ years and it’s become a part of my daily routine. The gym has a friendly atmosphere with plenty of space to get your workout done. Throughout the pandemic, the Club has maintained a clean environment with towels always available. One area many of the members would like to see improvement is extending the hours of availability for the Sauna, Steam Room, and Basketball Court. We would love to have the hours open past 8pm again. This would provide more time for people after work to enjoy the amenities. One last unrelated comment is that this gym has the best water fountain in town!
Clayton - Thank you for being a long-time member with us! We appreciate your membership and are happy the West club has served you well. We also love hearing how much you enjoy the club amenities! We continually assess the possibility of extending our hours so that the sauna/steam room/bball court can remain open later. Like many other businesses, it has been a challenge finding staff, and we need to ensure safety in these areas. We will continue to look for opportunities to extend the hours. Thank you again for your review, see you at the club soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I live near AKClub West, appreciate that it is open 24 hours around the clock. Membership professionals are friendly and attentive, and the front desk staff is also quite friendly. Most of all, my praise goes to the fabulous yoga instructors who offer a range of classes and who welcome and encourage all levels of participation. I have become a yogevangelist and encourage anyone and everyone to add the practice to their lives. It has helped me avoid back surgery and recover from knee surgery and has alleviated chronic pain I used to feel in my shoulders and ankles.
Jacqueline - Wow! Your comments and experience are so inspiring to read. Thank you for sharing this! Our group fitness classes are the perfect way to try something new - we are thrilled to hear how you have integrated a yoga practice into your life, and the change it has made! Keep up the great work, and thank you for being a member with us.
Experiencia positiva: Good sized gym, good range of equipment and free weights. Overall condition of the place is alright, things could be touched up. The club should bring back parking on both sides of the building, the front parking lot gets too packed and is poorly maintained. Damage to your vehicle wouldn't be uncommon, especially during break up season, the front parking lot gets pretty bad and the club did nothing to combat the issue. Very unwelcoming to guests and they aggressively steer you away from bringing in friends/guests even though they offer guest passes for $15/day. Too expensive overall but the best options in town.
Experiencia positiva: I enjoy working out at the Alaska club West. My only beef is the choice of the music. I prefer listening to soft rock ‘n’ roll when I work out and not the type of music that’s been playing.
Brock - Thank you for the review! We totally understand everyone has a particular kind of music they prefer to workout to - we will pass on your feedback to our operations team to see if we can get more soft rock in the mix! Thank you for letting us know, and thank you for being a member with us!
Experiencia fantástica: Training with Stacey L is awesome. She keeps me motivated, focused and inspired. I can't imagine my workouts without her!
Molly, Stacy is a favorite at the Club! She is a wonderful fitness director, group fitness instructor, and personal trainer. She trains several of us in marketing. Thank you for taking the time to recognize her. We will pass this on to her and the personal training director. Keep up the excellent work, and stay healthy and strong!
Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Professionalism , Quality This is by far the best and friendliest gym in Anchorage!!!! I talked with Erica and Charles, so helpful and welcoming. It was worth the ride past a closer gym to go to this gym. Just Awesome!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Enrico, Mimi, Tracey, and honestly all the staff at Alaska Club have made the years spent here amazing. They are kind, professional, real people who genuinely care about your success. The weight selection is great here as well. I live on East side but come here daily because of it.
Ray - Thank you so much for the 5 stars! We will be sure to pass on your nice feedback to Erika. We do our best to support families and make it easy for everyone. Come back and visit us again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism
Experiencia fantástica: The best place to come and train is over at the Alaska club west. I’ve been to other Alaska clubs and this one has all the equipment you would need for weightlifting and has amazing customer service! While we were here visiting they extended our membership because we were stuck since our ferry kept getting canceled. I had an awesome workout and enjoyed the company of the kind staff, don’t miss out on coming to Alaska club west!
Zach - I'm so glad you have enjoyed our club! Thank you very much for the review. We are happy you visited us while you were in town!
Experiencia fantástica: Charles Goodman in membership is a gem of a guy. Thanks so much for the outstanding service!
Debbie - Thank you for the wonderful review! We agree, Charles is awesome :)
Experiencia fantástica: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality
Experiencia positiva: Staff is terrible here
John - I'm so sorry that you've had a negative experience. Please provide me with a little more information, so I can try and resolve it. We really want strive to provide our members with a good experience at the club. You can email me at: tday@thealaskaclub.com. I hope you respond so we can make some improvements.
Experiencia negativa: They are out for every last cent. I’ve never membered at a gym so desperate. Please pay very close attention when signing up for a membership. Even though I am now 4,000 miles away, I am still paying $80 a month. Unbelievable I’m very disappointed in you AK Club. You know this is wrong
Experiencia negativa: Terrible customer service. They don't answer the phone, or return calls. They charge for services that you don't want. I have tried to cancel services, but they keep charging. VERY EXPENSIVE, their billing practices are NOT transparent. You will be charged for services you did not ask for.
Experiencia negativa: Just like everyone else has said. Super sneaky with their membership and the fees. Once covid hit they gave me two options. Just keep paying and wait it out or I could suspend my payments but it would extend my contract (They were even sneaker with signing me up for a year long contract that the sales associate said I could cancel anytime, blatant lie and when I told them they said he is no longer working for them♂️) by the amount of time I suspended payments.
Experiencia positiva: This club is by far the best cared for club in the circuit. Alaska club has taken advantage of the poor competition in clubs for years and passes the expenses on to us. If west had a pool I’d only go there. AK club south the supposed “Nice” one is dirty and often shabbily resembles an elite club. Poor show for the most part. Nice work west in keeping with what the AK club thinks it is.
Eagle - first, thank you for your membership and I see that you use our clubs often. I have shared your feedback with management regarding the 2 clubs, as it is important to us that you feel your getting value from your membership. We will make it a priority to take action on your concerns at South. Thank you again for sharing.
Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to this gym for a little over 1 year now. I would like to say they currently have such a friendly staff in all areas, childcare included. The gym is always clean and stocked with towels. Recently, there was an event that happened, details not needed. But let me say how professional Cherie, the operations manager was! I have rarely encountered such professionalism in handling a difficult issue. I continue to be happy with the services I receive at this facility and would recommend it to anyone who asks.
Heather, thank you for the nice review and the shout out to Cherie. Cherie is a wonderful team member and cares very much about our members. Happy Holidays
