I reached a major milestone today, not by choice or desire, but by circumstances. Over the past years, elevators have become my good friends. Stairs were a thing of the past because of my mobility.
Today the elevator at the gym was inoperable. So I climbed the stairs to the second floor. It wasn't fast. It wasn't easy. Going down was even harder. I climbed up on my own, but I did have help going down. But with help from gym staff, I made it. This is the first time in at least 6 years I've been able to handle more than 2 or 3 stairs at a time.

Reviews
I absolutely love the option of the all the amenities the club has to offer. The employees are helpful, courteous and caring, but for the price of family membership, plus membership+, I would hope for cleaner locker rooms, showers, gym, etc. I am sure having the 24/7 option makes it hard to keep the gym clean all the time, but you would hope for the majority of the time.
I really enjoy all the benefits the Alaska Club has to offer. We have the membership plus for free for the first 2 months. I have taken advantage of utilizing these extra benefits but if I were paying for these extra services I would expect for them to be cleaned frequently. Every time I have used the tanning bed and red light therapy the floors are very dirty.
