The Alaska Club South Gym, Pool, Health & Fitness Center

★★★★★Irina Klink

We had a good experience. My daughter is old enough to see things and tell me about it. So I get a scoop from her. The kids are very well supervised. The counselors are nice and appropriate (friendly and strict when needed). A few of them are returning every year. So nice to see familiar faces. Activities are great to keep kids busy all day.

I have been working out with personal trainer Jane Raven at the Alaska Club for 6 months. I am so glad I found her!!! After too many years of letting my fitness slide, I wanted to get my middle-aged body in shape. I’m amazed at the progress I have made, and I would not have been able to do it without her. She is incredibly knowledgeable and able to apply that knowledge and tailor a program for each client and their goals. She is also inspiring, fun and kind. She is very attentive to my form, and has helped me make small adjustments that allow me to lift pain and injury free. She figures out what I need to do, and I show up and do it. I have learned to trust her judgement and if she says I can do something, I can. I am stronger than I have ever been; my cardio fitness has vastly improved; I’ve had a significant increase in shoulder and hip mobility; and my posture is much better. The weight lifting, cardio, and functional fitness program she designed has had a big positive impact on my quality of life. For example, one cold windy day this past winter, a big piece of cardboard got stuck to the underside of my car as I was driving. When I pulled over to remove it, I was happy I had been working out with Jane for a couple of months because I knew I would have no trouble getting down on the ground, getting the cardboard out, and getting back up again.

Our family has been Alaska Club members for over 24 years. Overall, we are very happy with it and have used many of the available activities...including prenatal aqua class, camps, kids play center, swim lessons, racquetball, pickleball, personal training, cardio and weight room, fitness classes, etc. I use primarily the South club, and one of the things I like about it is the availability of adult locker rooms. However, hardly a visit goes by when there aren't at least a couple kids in the adult locker room. Talking to staff about the kids in the locker room has absolutely zero effect. I have multiple times told staff about kids in the locker room, only to come back from my workout to find them still there. The staff who clean and fill towels, etc., also don't ever say a word to those with kids in the adult locker room. On occasion I will say something to the parents who have kids in the locker room, but that doesn't always go very well. That should be the responsibility of The Alaska Club South, but the staff there just seem to regularly turn the other cheek when it comes to this topic. It's still a great gym, and we will keep going. However, I will really appreciate the day that The Alaska Club South can get it together regarding enforcing the rules regarding the adult locker rooms.

I have been a member of the Ak Club since 2012! I live closest to the South club so that is the one I use the most. It has been a great place for me to keep in shape with many different options for group fitness (my personal favorite), cardio and weight training, racquetball courts, and the pool is a nice perk especially for my kids. I've also made use of the tanning, vitality booth (red light therapy), hydromassage and regular massage. There is really something for everyone!

I am beyond disappointed with the service at this gym. I pay hundreds of dollars a month specifically for the convenience of the childcare/daycare services, yet I have been turned away twice now. The issues center entirely around one staff member, Stephanie. During my previous visit, she stopped me to ask if I had a reservation before telling me she would "let it slide" this time. However, I watched her immediately check in a white mother right after me without asking for a reservation or any proof of booking. Today, I drove all the way here only to be turned away again. Stephanie claimed there is a "two-baby maximum" because she was working alone—a "rule" I have never encountered with any other staff member, nor is it consistently enforced. The core issues: • Inconsistency: Rules seem to be made up on the spot or applied only to certain members. • Targeted Treatment: Seeing other members bypass the "requirements" I’m grilled on is unacceptable and feels discriminatory. • Lack of Resolution: When I brought this to management’s attention, I was handed "guest passes." I am already a high-paying member; guest passes do nothing to compensate for the gas, time, and childcare I am paying for but being denied. If you are looking for a gym that treats its members equitably and honors the services you pay for, look elsewhere. I expect a much higher standard of professionalism for the price of this membership.
