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!

Ever since our kids started getting into rock climbing, these gyms have supplanted the traditional…read morechildren's museum as the place we look forward when we travel, and the kids need to burn off some energy. The spot was one that we found online, and we're very impressed with the place. The climbing gym has two levels, a bouldering area upstairs, and large climbing walls, with ropes and belays downstairs. The main climate walls were really impressive. The largest ones we estimated to be 40 or 50 feet high. Bigger than we are used to, but not so big that the kids couldn't conquer them! Pricing seemed very reasonable, and really when it comes down to it, there aren't many prices that we wouldn't pay to get the kids to runoff some energy and have a good time doing it. Well, worth your time garrulous of if you're stopping in for a quick climbing session or looking to do more training long-term.

Our kids have been enjoying the Rock Gym for almost a year now. Great facility and up until today,…read moreexcellent service. Our kids had a private 1 hour lesson booked at noon. We showed up at 11:50 and checked in, asked to wait near the front desk for our instructor. 12:00...nothing. 12:05...ask where our instructor is...told the manager will come out and speak to us. 12:15...no instructor, no manager. Neither of the front desk staff could effect a refund for our lesson, or offered an explanation why we didn't have an instructor. I get that things out of our control can arise and complicate the schedule. My concern is that there was no communication about it before we battled Anchorage Sat AM traffic, or during the 25 minutes we waited at the rock gym.

Coach Mike is highly knowledgeable and really knows how to work with new athletes. On the other hand, if you're a salty and experienced athlete this box is also for you. As you know, community is everything and in this gym, it is made up of super friendly, welcoming, funny & hard working people, the way it should be. In this gym you will find all level athletes. Group sizes per class vary from 2-8 +/- , average about 5. What's is extra cool about this box is that Mike is aiming to make this a high tech and results driven gym with his very successful programming and heart rate monitors so that the athlete and coaches can see the athletes intensity at whatever level they are working out in. Every single week athletes are reaching new personal records in lifts, it's amazing!! If you're thinking about trying this gym, definitely give it a shot. I think you will find it's a little bit different than others gyms in a great way. See you soon!

This...this place, is truly my home gym. Though this is my first review and only second check-in…read more I've been using this facility for over two years. It is home to me. This is the Army gym, on the Army side of the base. To show you how much I love this gym, I'll tell you, I'm Air Force and the Air Force gym is literally a five minute walk from my front office. However, I much rather drive to the opposite side of base, about 8 minutes, to use this gym...why? Because the staff here is great! It's a small gym, there aren't your typical gym animals. Army personnel work out regularly it is part of their mission, Air Force not so much. So in this gym there aren't the typical gym buffs, losers, creepers, unfocused bunch you'll typically see at the Air Force gym. This gym has everything you need and they are expanding it vastly...which makes me nervous because I'd hate for this place to lose the dark dungeon kill-your-workout feel and change into the "Oh Yay Glamorous Lighting-let's take selifes" feel that the Air Force gym has. I don't know. I really love this gym, it has more than everything you need, its clean, friendly customer service, its reliable, you won't be let down. It's perfect. This gym...is bae. I'll upload photos, when I see him tomorrow lol

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 thought I would update my review to reflect her positive customer service and although I would have loved to use the package she made it right. I purchased a class package last year after having a baby and having had a lot of Pilates experience I was really disappointed to find that I couldn't attend certain classes unless I had attended their basic classes first. Normally that wouldn't have been an issue but they only offered those classes at a certain time of day and it was only offered one day a week and I was not able to attend. When covid 19 hit they obviously closed but now they are requiring customers buy and bring their own equipment. I wish I wouldn't have bought a package with this studio as now I have spent $200+ on classes I will never use.

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.
