Friendly staff and facility is nice and clean. Equipment is very nice and easy to use. Sauna is awesome. I use a trainer and it has been a great experience. Highly recommend! read more

Quick to take Summit membership money but slow with problem resolutions. The app fails to show class schedules/locations/times. 6 in person visits for a fix and only one attempt to get someone else's help to fix the issue. Another annoyance, my lady and I signed up at the same time and she was issued a member number and received a scanner badge shortly after, but for some reason I was not. What's going on here? read more

I am truly enjoying our Summit adult Membership. They've just remodeled the pool flooring about 6 mos ago and the weight exercise / machine room on the adult side just in last 2 weeks. Glad the entire family are members. We just added mom a month or so ago so everyone benefits. We moved into a RV while we build our house (should be about 1-2 more months) before the Occupancy Cert is issued and we can close so we're all taking showers at the club! Work out, jacuzzi, sauna or steam and shower! Ahhhhh! read more

Such an awesome location! The vibe is amazing and luxurious. Love the amenities and I highly recommend Summit.

We love it here!! Everything is clean, the folks are friendly and knowledgeable, and the prices changed in the last decade. There are SO MANY MACHINES!!! read more

So my husband, son and myself just joined this gym about two weeks ago. We LOVE it. The Summit Gym is BY FAR the nicest gym I have ever belonged to. Let me count the ways: Equipment: Top knotch. All the cardio machines have earphones attached and sleek looking flat computer screens to watch TV with etc. The machines here are newer than I've seen at any other gym. Very well-maintained! 10/10 Customer service: Every staff member is helpful and accommodating. There is always somebody going around in the gym and the locker rooms making sure towels and other necessary supplies are replenished. I thought I had lost my glasses in the locker room last week and one of the staff members volunteered to come in with me to the locker room to help me look. I've never had anyone be that helpful in any other gym! 10/10 Locker room: BY FAR the nicest gym locker room I've ever been in. I love that it's carpeted and that hair dryers are there for our use. Other toiletries provided are deodorant, Qtips, hairspray, lotion, tampons (regular only), pads, AND they even provide CURLING IRONS! Other awesome features in the lockeroom include a darkened, relaxing sitting area where you can watch TV while drinking lemon ice water ON ICE, coffee, or tea. There's a whirlpool in the very back of the lockeroom that you can adjust the temperature for, although I can never use it much because all the other women want it WAY too hot for me. For those so inclined, there is also a steam room and sauna. Moreover, the showers are bigger and the shower heads even give you more spray options. If you forget your stuff, they provide soap, shampoo, and conditioner n each shower. Staff keep all supplies in the lockeroom well stocked at all time and I've never seen it look scummy as of yet. Overall a solid 10/10 Lobby: Nicest one I've seen. Comfy places to sit and they apparently even have beer or wine available. Of course this club is better than the other clubs because you have to be 21 or over to use it so the teeny-bop brigade is nixed completely! 10/10 The only reason I'm knocking off a star is because there are no fans in the lockeroom and they keep it TOO HOT for me. I hate the way gyms always overheat the shit out of lockerooms and this one is no exception. If there was better air circulation at least I'd be a little happier. But in general, I gotta say this gym is worth the extra cash. Cost: It ain't cheap by any means, but if you can afford it, this gym is worth the price. It is the best of all the Alaska Clubs by far and away. Our family membership including this gym runs about 200 bucks a month. The good news is our son can use the pool or the gymnasium or the rock climbing wall in the south gym even as we are using this one Highly recommended! read more

The Alaska Club Summit - Gyms Near Me - Anchorage, Alaska

We've been members of the Alaska Club for almost 20 years now and moved to the Summit when it opened. We have not been disappointed. The staff has been great. The equipment is top of the line and there is plenty of it. It's rarely too crowded to get to equipment, which can often be the case in some gyms. Just a great experience. read more

I have talked to the GM ( Seth ) about 4-5 times over the phone in the last 6 months asking him about the hours- I work 6 days a week until 8pm and they started closing at 8. GM told me that they are working on changing the hours in SEP- Writing this in DEC with no follow up calls when he promised me a phone call. I kept my membership for almost 2 years now with these hours thinking it will change- But now I think Summit just got too comfortable with their hours. Too lazy to pay for extra 2 hours to stay open when charging me almost $150.00 a month. read more

This is by far the nicest gym I've EVER been to! They have so many fresh clean towels, everyone is super friendly, the whirlpool, steams and showers are amazing. All of the equipment is state of the art. Oh and get this, they have coffee, fresh lemon water, WINE, CRAFT BEER! I don't know about any of you yelpers but this is a gym dream come true for me. Lastly, a gym with great amenities is fantastic, a gym with excellent customer service is HEAVEN, that being said, Shelly at the front desk was super attentive, friendly and informative (thanks Shelly!) Can't wait to go back here ! If only all gyms were like this ! read more

You may think the summit package is pricy but I cannot stress this enough, it is worth it!! I feel guilty going there because im enjoying myself so much. They have thought of every luxury you'll need. I only get ready for my day at the summit now - you can literally go there an never leave the bathroom; hot tub, sauna, steam. Water tea coffee. They got it. Towel that actually fit around your body. Yep. (And fluffy) I feel gluttonous and not worthy of the treatment every time I go - and trust me I have not missed a single day. Also, shout out to the courteous staff, I've been to others where the front desk is VERY abrasive but at the summit they are so sweet and you can sense they just want to help you. Thank you for making me feel like a queen, and actually look forward to the gym! read more

Great gym and wonderful staff! Vic my old trainer was the best but he has since moved on.... There are other great staff both at the desk and the trainers. Very clean place that's never too crowded. The locker rooms are the best and always clean... I enjoy the shampoo and conditioner:) read more

I have been a member for almost 2 years and all that time payed for a personal trainer. Finally met my goals and tried to cancel. They stated that they were sad to see me go and said they canceled. Next billing sure enough there was another month added plus late fees. Called back in again, again they said they would take care of it. Next billing sure enough its there again and another month tagged on plus fees. I appealed to them to remove it. They stated that they will have to take it to upper management who then stated they will not remove it and I must write them a letter to cancel the account and then I was obligated for even another month of bills. I did this but they seemed to tag on even more charges. All said and done it took me three months to close this and $800 to close this. Stay away from the Alaska Club. Very dishonorable, very criminal if you ask me and total horse you know what. WARNING, THEY WILL NOT CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT UNLESS YOU WRITE IN AND BE EXACT TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE CONTRACT FOR CLOSURE. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE PLACE read more

The facilities are good, and the employees do their best. However the corporate structure is frustrating to no end! I've been an on and off member for over a decade and not once have I been able to cancel my account without them wringing extra money and months out of me. I don't know why i keep falling for it. read more

I'm happy with the Summit. Love the facials from Heather. Locker room is clean. I'm usually there around 1pm seems to be the quite hour and I love that. read more

For my money (and you'll be needing a lot to work out here) this is the best gym in town. While the staff can be problematic due to a high turnover rate, the long timers that man the front desk and keep the towels and equipment clean offer a level of service you won't find anywhere else in Anchorage. Aside from the top notch cardio equipment, each supplied with their own LCD TV for viewing 30 some odd cable channels, plus 4 music stations, the best part about this club is it's 21+ only restrictions. I used to love the South, but by mid 2004 or so, the place began to be overrun by tweens and teens. While I'm always happy to see younger folks getting serious about their physical health, I got tired of fighting the 13 year olds for the equipment. The Summit can get just as crowded as South, especially in the colder months between 4-7pm, everyone there has a busy life just like me, and is in there to work out and get done, not hog the machines and talk about little Bobby or Susie's latest school project. Conversely, while Summit folks are serious about their routines, you won't find the place swarming with meat heads, like Gold's or World Gym. I'm all for pushing yourself, but folks that slam weights and grunt like a porn movie get real annoying real fast when you're just there to blow off the day's stress and keep your waistline under control. The assortment of folks there ranges from the amazingly fit to morbidly obese, you get the feeling that they all are there for the purpose of feeling better about themselves and improving their self image, and the motivation that brings is both inspiring and addictive. From doctors, lawyers, and bankers, to the slope workers, soccer moms and even a FedEx guy, Summit members are some of the nicest folks you'll ever meet, and in the 5 years I've been a member, I've never once felt embarrassed there. For those of you who are at the beginning of that upward battle called weight loss, I'm sure you understand what I mean by that. Summit is pricey, on top of Alaska Club's already high membership fees when compared to smaller operations like Body Renew, but as expensive as it may be, I've never once felt like I wasn't getting every penny's worth. For all the reasons above, and for those that you'll have to experience on your own by going there yourself, I highly recommend The Summit by Alaska Club for anyone that wants to look in the mirror, and actually feel not just good, but even a little bit cocky about what they see. It's the best gift you'll ever give yourself. read more

After trying several gyms, this is by far the best gym! Great equipment, excellent service, many amenities and extremely clean. I'll be a member of this gym for a very long time. read more

This is the creme de la creme of the Alaska Club chain, their premier club. It is not an especially large size gym, which surprised me. But, considering not that many people choose to afford access, they don't need to be larger than life anyway. The cardio machines were in working order, and top of the line with individual tv screens. Their dumbbells were definitely shinier and newer than the versions you'll find at the West Club. Honestly, I'd still prefer to work out at the Women's Club on Northern Lights Blvd, but there's certainly one MAJOR advantage to the Summit: the locker rooms. This is the spa experience you pay $$$ for. A beautiful serene sauna, heavenly steam and super hot whirlpool make the women's locker room just fantastic. The water pressure in the showers is strong and the water temperature is responsive in a good way. They have lemon-infused ice water with a comfortable seating area to chat with friends. The only annoying thing is the sign when you first walk in to take off your shoes. I mean, I guess they're trying to protect the carpet, but seriously? It's not like the people who work out here are even the type to step in a huge mud puddle and drag their feet over carpet. That would probably happen in the West club, which, by the way, is a club location that incidently has NO carpet anywhere, lol. But I digress. It's a great club for relaxation, but I don't like the layout as much as the women's club. And PS, I'm seriously annoyed that they have Rosemary shampoo and rosemary condtioner with green tea body wash at the Summit and NOT the women's club. Cmon, cough up the good stuff because we wouldn't abuse the priviledge there! read more

Alaska club is a Joke! Don't believe a word they say!! They lie however they can to get you to sign up and then if you have a discrepancy they're ghosts. Don't waste your time. read more

I am a member of the Summit, Bobby form membership signed me up and has always been helpful with any questions I have, about the benefits like good life, or membership plus, new fitness programs. "Thank You, Bobby"), I have no complaints with the staff and enjoy meeting and getting to know other members, it's a pleasure to go to the club to exercise, de-stress, relax, get and stay fit. Yes, it cost more than my last club, with me its worth it, I have not once left feeling unhappy and am always feeling good after a workout and steam. The Summit supplies towels, shower soaps, lockers and a nice lounge chair with dish TV, coffee, and tea whats not to like. read more

The girls locker room alone is worth it. But there's a but. Just make sure to not get intimidated by a bunch of middle aged flabby women speaking loudly and in another language like it's an open air market. They congregate in the seating TV area and the worst - the sauna/whirlpool area where they cackle along like it's their own private party. Professionally and politely put them in their place especially when they become a mob. My friend was quite candid and basically told one of the two groups to be quiet and she now gets pointed out in Taiwanese and Korean that she's a troublemaker. These girls obviously are not professionals or they would've taken my friends comment in the way it was intended instead of personally. It is THE hangout place for these ladies whose bodies don't look like they've been in any gym. It is a gym after all and not a sauna. I don't mind the bunch of not physically fit guys hanging out in the social area of the gym to kill time and watch the girls since they're not in my space. It is anchorage after all, enough said for those who's been here. I've seen these ladies bring food in the dry sauna or leave their special teas and homemade masks for someone else to take care of. I've even seen one of these ladies use 6-8 towels and leave them in different areas of the locker room. If I have to be in anchorage for a project, it's great to be able to chill in the whirlpool and use the saunas. It should be made a quiet zone or convos in a lower "inside voice". Other than that, the staff is super friendly. I just wanna get what I'm paying for. Which is a membership that's rarely used but when used, need to be utilized to the max. A great business idea here is a real spa or baths so these ladies and their likes can hang out. I'd likely welcome that business too. Having a professional spa (like spa world 24/7 in DC, yuan spa in Seattle, Aire ancient baths in NYC). The whirlpool, wet and dry sauna is so worth it. Anchorage is made more bearable for me by this locker room especially in the winter. read more

The establishment is currently under construction. I went in to ask about all of the current programs they have available. I was met with a slew of problems from the staff as if they were my problems. First he told me about how they were under construction and everything was moving. Then the staff told me about how they were shortstaffed that day. After about five minutes of waiting at the counter, the staff invited me in and had me sit and wait in the waiting area for another 15 minutes.... just to have somebody come out and tell me oh well sorry but you're going to have to wait longer because the person I needed to talk to was still busy. If they're too busy to tell me about the programs and they're too busy to enroll potential new members. Worst place ever! Avoid this location at all costs!!!!! I would give them no stars; however it is not an option otherwise it would've been selected. read more
