They trap you with a contract. Costs 250$ to quit the gym and escape the contract that is not explained and 2 full pages in fine print of legal speak that is hard to understand. Never join a gym with a contract its just a legal way for them to steal from you. Business with shady practices won't last. You can't burn people and expect them to come back. read more

I have been a member of the Yakima Athletic Club for at least 30 years. I have throughly enjoyed the atmosphere, sense of community and inclusiveness that this club offers. You will meet friends for life at this club. The staff and the Instructors are absolutely top notch and are always learning and instructing. They continue to encourage members to be as healthy as they can possibly be and always offer alternatives and modifications. They are truly invested in the health of their members. They are always advertising incentives to become a member. Join, you will not be disappointed. read more

nice pool with a good instructor shout out aaron george thanks to him i know how to properly swim

I think the club is great. I really enjoy the place in the morning to start the day then later on in evening to finally wrap up the day with a long hot shower and sauna or steam. My days are always brighter and start in a positive way from my first step in and being greeted by Desiree, she's the best, then ending the day with a goodnight and safe travels from the guys at night. read more

I love the gym I love the staff they are all very friendly great variety and love the pool I do wish the men's hot tub was open but other than that great read more

Im really happy with this gym. 2 floors, lots of weights & equipment, pool, jacuzzi, sauna, tanning, hydro massage, THE WORKS. Their kids club attendants are amazing, I haven't been paged once since working out here (about 2 months now). There is an elderly crowd and I'm disappointed in their entitled, bratty behavior but they're ignorable. Just go about your own business & this place is great. read more

The athletic club has been around for a number of years, but we only recently started utilizing it. Located off 24th and Washington, it's actually pretty central to just about everywhere in the valley. The facility Siri are very solid. I've got plenty of exercise machines and weight machines upstairs, good luck a room areas, a pool, a dedicated weight room, Racquetball courts and tennis courts outside. There's a juice bar at the front desk where there are plenty of options from smoothies and protein shakes, and plenty of interesting stuff in between. A huge plus here's the fact that they have Les Mills classes as well as exercise my classes that are all included in the price of the membership. My wife has made very good use of these and it's nice if you're looking for something different then just freeway it's or an elliptical machine. They also have higher intensity classes that are akin to Farrell's or Crossfit for about $100 per month and they're included with personal training packages. The folks working here are by and large very professional bunch. I initially had some trouble with a personal trainer who canceled on me last minute, because he forgot our appointment. Another trainer, Trevor, took over and was a great person to have working with me. Do you initial personal trainer sessions or something like $149 for four sessions. They quickly jump up to $60-$80 per hour depending on if you get a higher level trainer or not. I'm not sure what the differences, as they all seem to do a pretty good job. If you're looking for something specific, it may work well to pay for the higher level person. In addition, if you buy 10or 20 sessions, the price drops a little bit. Worth doing if you need somebody to help motivate you, at least for a little bit. A solid place to work out with plenty to offer anyone who's looking for something familiar or different from a workout facility! read more

more than a gym. Amazing equipment, clean, great classes, and Pickleball!! Community instead of just one of those cheap places to use the treadmill. read more

I LOVE YAC! it might be more expensive than other gyms, but you get soooo much more! They have a lot of variety of machines and classes, not to mention the HUGE bonus of rarely having to wait to use a machine since people can use two weight rooms and two treadmill areas. The staff is fantastic and helpful. I appreciate having this available in Yakima and I highly recommend it! read more

I see alot of bad reviews, I don't understand. Me, and my husband have been coming here for years now. We have never had a issue with the staff. They have always been professional, and friendly. I'm not a small person, and the trainers have always been there to answer any questions I may have. No one pays attention to you, and what your doing. There are rules for reasons, and alot of the complaints have to do with people who don't like them. Very clean gym, I wouldn't go anywhere else. You get what you pay for. read more

Friendly place. Great classes! Lots of other options, the pool (outdoor in summer!) including classes, a group training area that seems to have groups for everyone young to young at heart, sauna, tanning, hydro massage, easy parking, sweat towels, child care, and all the regular stuff you'd expect. Great place and highly recommended read more

Poor customer service. This gym charges quite a bit more than the other local gyms so I expect a lot more from them. Front desk is not friendly. The manager also did not seem to care when it was brought to her attention. Pushy sales tactics. Employees talk down to you. They obviously do not care about customer service. I have since cancelled my membership here and have found a much more friendly respectful gym. I would not recommend this gym to anyone. read more

Oh you forgot to mention that you can't put water on the rocks in the sauna anymore so I honestly doubt the sauna can get that hot without the steam and heat from the rocks. I'm just being real, I didn't want to pay for an expensive gym if everything was braking down? Sauna was a big deal for me, it WAS my favorite. read more

Worst gym to go to if you have a child with special needs!!!! I have an autistic non-verbal son which is innocent he's 15 years old but mentality he is three,they did not allow him to go into the dressing room with me for i can get him ready to go swimming, he is not able to go into the men's dressing room by himself,put his clothes away and lock the locker get himself dressed and situated because of his disability,I felt so discriminated against my special needs child!I canceled my membership with them I guess we'll wait till the new YMCA opens they're more family friendly and understand that some kids do have special needs and make considerations. I spoke to Cindy there at the athletic club she wanted me to get my son dressed in a unisex restroom upstairs which makes no sense because when you enter the pool you have to rinse yourself off in the shower,then when he gets out of the pool he hast to go upstairs to put on his dry clothes to go home and he's going to get the steps the floor and everything wet where people can fall and hurt them selves,what kind of accommodations for a special needs child is that they want to charge an arm and a leg for a membership and not accommodate their member that have special needs,don't recommend this gym for anyone who has a child with special needs they just don't care!!! they don't want to make their members uncomfortable having a special needs child in the women's locker room so disappointed with Cindy and her accommodations for my son! read more

Since my original review the club has really amped up their daily cleaning. I notice a lot of improvements especially in locker rooms. The young lady doing it does a freat job. Have really been enjoying the facilities more. So love the WiFi happy now! read more

Everything you need in a health club! Our son loves the child care area and it's staff. The front desk staff is always kind and welcoming and they go out of their way to provide you with an exceptional experience. The personal trainers are actually nationally accredited and know how to program for YOU, not just one size fits all. We also love supporting a LOCAL INDEPENDENT business. Sure they don't bring in pizza and they won't drive up your property taxes but... oh wait, that's the other guys. 10/10 would recommend. read more

I would leave 0 stars if able, sadly 1 is the lowest. I have a few stories for you, but let's focus on the most hurtful thing they've done. I am a member of Yakima athletic club and have been for awhile. I come to gym the today and it happens to be sunny, so I decide to shoot a little basketball for a warm up. I will say this, I did jump over a small 3 foot gate to the court, but it was so small, I didn't think it would be terrible, I only needed a few minutes of shots to get warmed up. I do agree, I can say I shouldn't of, but what did after was out of world, sad and heartbreaking. As I shoot my first basket a lady says you can't jump over that, I said that's fine. She insisted I check in and come all the way back out. I do as she says, and another lady comes up and starts being quite passive aggressive, I have no idea why. I've been at this club so many times before, my family and friends all work out here. I ask the front desk for the owners number, as I'm being harassed. They won't give it out, so I ask for names and decide to come back when he's there. On my way back to my car, I decide to ask the Physical therapist if they have it, as this rate a worker followed me there, says to the physical therapy lady: "call 911." This blonde fellow, Christian has been know for his issues with members, and he smiles as he says: "this guy won't leave the property." I'm at a loss for words, it's like you're eating dinner and ask for the manager, but the waiter comes back and says: "leave now the cops are coming;" could you imagine how dumbfounded you would be? I've never seen or heard of a place treat paying members like this, ON A REGULAR BASIS, I am baffled. I cannot believe how they progressed this situation, I am horrified of how they made me feel, truly scared! My family and friends will never come here again, nor will it ever be suggested. The way they handled this gives me anxiety. I have a few more stories from my fam and friends if you'd like more horrific ones. If the owner reads this, I pray you make it right, I will not come back, but I truly hope people will never pay*** to be treated like this ever again. I suggest you go to planet fitness, it's 1/10 the price or less, plus they treat you like a human being. You'd think $1,000+ a year would at least get you a smile; it will get you anxiety instead. Take care and heed my warning, A fellow yakima friend read more

The gym has great amenities, along with pretty clean locker rooms. The new sauna in the men's locker room is great. Most of the staff is friendly, but unfortunately the customer service felt inadequate when I brought up an issue that I needed help with. I had to push them to escalate it to a manager, who also did not seem interested in expending any effort to assist me. read more
