I live nearby and wanted to rent a kayak last minute towards the end of the day. I called and they…read morewere very accommodating and said I could pick up before 6 and keep all night and bring back the next evening or just leave when I finished that night. They had everything I needed, including several kayak choices to pick from. I paid $40 to use from about 5pm-8:30. Rates on door say $10 an hour or $50 per day. I stayed out on the lake about 4 hours and it was a great solo trip! They were doing a class about the time I was going out and the ladies looked like they were enjoying their time. For being so close to town, the lake and location are still tucked away and make you feel like your getting out in Alaska's beautiful scenery. The store is off the Palmer-Wasilla Hwy in a red and yellow building. There's a small port-o-potty behind the building for facilities, otherwise, use Fred Meyer or go before you come. If you have your own kayak, you can put in at his dock for $5 (says a sign). Great experience and plan to come back until I get my own.

Took the 2 hour basic kayaking class with my adult son (22) and two younger kids (12 & 13). Randy…read morewas a great instructor and explained everything clearly and answered any questions we had. Once in the boats he explained each stroke and then demonstrated before letting us try each paddling stroke. Everybody had a good time and we all learned something. The only minor improvement I can think of is to have each student get into and out of a kayak on dry land to make sure everything is adjusted and fitted to them before getting in at the dock. If we had done this I think my kayak might have been better fitted to me. I am a bigger guy at 265-270, 5'10", and not in the greatest shape (unless round is a shape). The kayak I used is what I would call a hybrid kayak with a very large square shaped cockpit. Anyway, the seat was all the way back (I didn't know this when I got into the kayak), and I couldn't reach the foot braces at all - even adjusting them all the way to the shortest position. By the time I realized this, everybody was in their boats and we were moving on with the course. I was able to learn and complete all the different paddling strokes despite not really fitting the kayak very well - I was positioned too far in the stern of the kayak. Definitely plan on renting kayaks from them again in the future - I'll just make sure that I fit the kayak better than during the class. We will probably try out the Cottonwood Lake Family trip sometime this summer.

It was pretty busy, one of the tricycles wheels broke off and we went to let her know about it and she was pointing out that it was one of my older sons that did it, which was very annoying because he never went on them, an she jus kept on pointing at him which was so rude, blabbing out HIM!! we were the ones that told her we seen it was broken. She had her phone translate to us that we would have to pay $200 for it. I told her translating phone, I WILL NOT BE PAYING FOR THAT BECAUSE WE DID NOT DO IT.

My friend and I went to work out with our own plan of action, 15 minutes cardio on the treadmill warm up, 45 weights, 15 minutes cool down. There is a spacious ladies locker room. What really makes this space special is the lighting and ample space to shower and get ready for work. Two women were getting their hair and makeup ready for work, with counters and mirrors set up for an HIIT class to get ready afterward easily. Advertised at the gym separate fees were tanning sessions. The gym had showers, sauna and cold plunge areas in the ladies locker room. In my time here in Wasilla I'm hoping to return as much as possible. There were so many machines I was unfamiliar with, I was able to complete my workout at 9 in a clean, elegant facility. I'd love to work with a trainer here. My next trip, I'm going to look into just that. The interior is all black with thin white lights floating high above, so you can focus on your tasks mentally while working out. A very nice facility. As a member my friend logged into her app, which generates a digital key to open the door for the gym. I'm happy to have enjoyed my workout here.

My daughter was in Tap 1. She struggled in this class with the students and teacher Emily. What…read morewas suppose to be fun and building self esteem turned into devastation. One day she came home and cried for two hours because she was required to make the teacher laugh and couldn't. She thought she was responsible for the class not getting a popsicle party. They did not get a party that day. The final straw was the recital in Anchorage. There were four days that we were to drive in. On the first and last day we were there as required at 3p.m. We were the 2nd class to perform on stage. When we were not called I found Emily and asked her why. She said we were passed over. There were runners to tell everybody everything but we were told nothing. That was 2 1/2 hours later. My daughter was crushed. She had her costume and dreamed of being on stage. The recital cost around 180.00 and of course is non refundable. She is signed up for the fall semester and of course that is non refundable. Check it out before your child becomes a student.

She makes it a personal experience that no big club, gym, or corporation can replicate. The membership is very reasonable for not only what's included in the facility but the environment of it and with 24 hour access; the accessibility of which you can do so. It's also very conveniently located between Wasilla and Palmer. This might not be a gym with everything you personally believe you need. It may not be a gym with the newest equipment. It may not have any leisure sports, activities, or clubs included. But it does have personality. It does have great ownership. It does have great community. It does have necessities. It does have motivated members. It does have personal time management utilization. No other gym in the valley, let alone Anchorage compares. There is only one gym where you can walk in at anytime, be called by name without checking a card or ID, have access to a variety of great equipment, not pay a crazy amount for access, and be motivated and have everything you need to chase your fitness goals. This is it.
