I was there on a day pass and Julie was great in helping me get set up. A big gym with an excellent selection of equipment from the top fitness brands, multiple stations made it easy to find open equipment and based on the others there at the time, clearly a gym that attracts strong/power lifters but without any of the attitude that can go along with that. Good shower and locker room facilities that were important for me between trips.

Reviews
I went to The Alaska Club West and had such a great experience, especially because of Julie! She is incredibly welcoming, helpful, and genuinely cares about the members. She always takes the time to answer questions, make people feel comfortable, and goes above and beyond to make sure everyone has a positive experience.
You can tell that Julie really loves what she does and takes pride in creating a welcoming environment. The club has a great atmosphere, and having someone like Julie there makes such a difference. Highly recommend The Alaska Club West!
I spoke with Julie today and she told me all about the pool and rock wall, etc. She was very informative and after learning more about the facility am excited to make use of areas I haven’t used yet!
