The Alaska Club East

My kids play tennis and while I usually work out at home, I enjoy the amenities. It's nice to have a bright, clean place to go, especially during the Winter. Melanie at the front desk is always super cheerful and helpful. She really makes us feel welcome!

The Alaska club East is pretty terrible, but the gym situation in Anchorage is also terrible. Anyhoo, this gym is constantly filthy and many areas like the mens locker room are both disgusting and in disrepair (I’ve literally found used condoms in the shower). The weight room area is far too small and set up awkwardly with old equipment that needs to be replaced. Also the club lets the 16-22 year old wanna be bodybuilders run wild. They blast their own music and set up their cellphones on tripods to record themselves. But worst of all, they hog equipment. I’ve waited nearly an hour for a squat rack before. If you’re coming from the lower 48 and have experienced well managed gyms, this place will be a shock to you, especially the cost compared to cleanliness and disrepair of the gym.

Front desk person sent me the wrong way after asking her for a location. I knew that wasn't the room myself. I walked all the way back and she replied "oh it isn't?" My eyes rolling to the back of my head. Idk, I DON'T WORK HERE. She confidently pointed for me to go down as if she knew. She could have verified with someone who knew before sending me and wasting my time. I should have asked a random person walking by. Note: Don't ask the front desk for directions around the building.

I worked with Amber McCaughey to set up a new membership and she was AMAZING! Answered all of my question and was very patient with me. She really worked with me to get me the membership that meets MY needs. I highly recommend her!!!

Superb fitness club. Locker room was very clean and well kept; employees busily bustled around to keep it in good condition. Locker room has both a steam room and sauna. Swimming pool has a deep end (about 11 feet) that you can dive into as well as 2 slides that enter in around the 6-8 foot depth. They offer rentals, and you can rent the pool for a party and have them blow up a bouncy pad that floats on the water. Staff was helpful and cordial.
