The Club at Mill Creek: Opinions

Fantastic experience: The club is always clean and the friendly helpful staff is amazing!
Fantastic experience: Pool is gorgeous and everyone is friendly
Positive experience: Nice neighborhood gym, very clean, good equipment, great classes, friendly staff
Fantastic experience: I can honestly say that The Club is among the things I miss most about Humboldt County. My wife and I wish we could find a comparable fitness center. Where else can you get a smoothie, blast out some deadlifts, cycle, do some barre, and then sit in a hot tub for that price? Seriously one of the best fitness centers on the West Coast.
Fantastic experience: Loooooved this gym. Good looking pool, Pilates reformers that are brand new, huge fitness and weight area, not too crowded, ample parking
Negative experience: Adding more to this post. I started coming to this facility since it first opened and there have been issues with the pool filtration system since then. I mentioned this to a worker this morning who declared he’s been here 2 years and the pool Has never been this bad. Again, I shared my experiences that it has been this bad before. Once again he stated “No I’ve been here for two years and I check it everyday and it has never been this bad.” Hmm, I believe the pool opened in 2019 which means it has been in operation for approximately 5 years, minus the Covid shut down. By my calculations that is more than 2 years. I would recommend management coach the workers to listen to folks who have been using the facility longer than they have been employed and believe them when they share their own experiences rather than discount and infer the information shared is not accurate. I canceled my membership at the facility about six months ago because of the issues with the pool. I recently moved to McKinnleyville and reinstated my membership. I am still waiting to use the pool!
Fantastic experience: Love the pool and hot tub.
Positive experience: Pool was a little cold. Its clean and well kept
Fantastic experience: This gym is the best in the area. Great pricing for visitors as well.
Positive experience: Family swim is an amazing time for the kids to get out some energy plus the staff is friendly
Fantastic experience: Very friendly people, super clean environment .
Positive experience: These are some of the best facilities in the area for sure. The expansive selection of equipment and services make this a true fitness and wellness center. Unfortunately the rates are high with poor management and a lack of industry experience that takes away from the potential experience of the members and especially prospective members.
Thank you for sharing your experience and we are thrilled you find our Clubs welcoming and full of quality equipment and programs
Fantastic experience: I do enjoy this gym. They have childcare with lots of toys and a lovely staff. I just can't seem to catch them when they're busy with kids. I'd love for my son to play. Their pool is amazing. Very clean (you can smell it) and a nice temperature. I haven't been in the hot tub yet, but there is one. Many classes daily, even on the weekends. The spin class is really good, with very understanding coaches. I have a bad knee, and the coach was like take it easy. Slow down if you need to and do what you can. No one is Judgy. I've seen people of all shapes and sizes. We all go in there, mind our own business, and workout. Oh and one other thing I really liked! They give you the option to pay for the whole year at once. So if you hate being held to monthly payments you can pay for the full year.
Hi Zoe! Thank you so much for your sweet review! We love having you and your son in the gym. It's always great to see your smiling faces! We are always on a mission to improve our services, and we want to be sure that you and your son have lots of fun whenever you visit!-Maile McWilliamsGeneral Manager
Fantastic experience: First time coming with a friend and it was a really nice facility! I just used the pool and hot tub, but the water was very clean and the hot tub was really nice and hot. There is a bathing suit dryer that is extremely nice to use before heading home.
Positive experience: One of the best gym in humbolt area. Really organized and clean, not too crowded, i wish they have more leg press machine like the big one in planet fitness and some kettlebells.
Negative experience: They make it almost impossible to cancel your membership! You need to go to the front desk and fill out a cancelation form and hope they process it and cancel your membership! I signed up in January and tried to cancel on the same day due to medical issues. I just received another bill on March 10th for another $130! Bringing my total to $460 for 2 very short gym visits! I called to check why I am still getting billed and they said my membership is still active and is scheduled to cancel next month in April! THIS IS ROBBERY! DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THE CLUB!
I'm so sorry that you have had such a frustrating experience with us. Our mission is for our club to be a fun and enjoyable resource for fitness, not a frustrating one! Please feel free to reach out to me directly at 707-267-7525 x807 and I can resolve your account issues right away. Thank you!- Maile McWilliamsGeneral Manager
Fantastic experience: Wow I love this gym. Everyone is so friendly that works here and all the members also. Lots of classes. I really look forward to every day I go to The Club
Fantastic experience: Very fiendly staff. Clean every where. Great pool. Nice sauna. I only swim here so I can't speak to the rest of the club but the fitness room/gym looks fully stocked and like a wonderful place to work out. I'm super happy to have found this place. I love the atmosphere, love the staff and love the variety of rate options. This club aims to please and succeeds. Come join the Masters swimming! We need more swimmers and it's the best pool in Arcata!

Hello Collin, we appreciate your stellar review and look forward to seeing you again at the Club.
Positive experience: This place is nice and the staff is very friendly. I do miss the josh guy who cleaned in the evenings, I thought he owned the place he did such a thorough job..could use a decline bench ….
Hi Jeremy, thank you for your review ... and don't you worry Josh is still with us providing excellent customer service along with the rest of our staff. We have been taking all equipment requests to heart using the suggestions to plan future purchases
Fantastic experience: Great clean facility! The pool is well taken care of and locker rooms are constantly being cleaned.
Thank you Denise for your high review - we all work diligently to make sure our Club is kept in pristine condition and to provide quality customer service
Positive experience: Pool, jacuzzi, steam rooms and saunas. Staff is polite. Clean and nice. Would get 5 stars but for billing department.
Thank you for your positive review Dominic. If there are lingering questions regarding your billing please fee free to contact Member Services (707) 267-7525 or stop by either of our Clubs when you are available
Negative experience: Customer service skills/culture are nowhere in sight! There is hardly ever any staff and their employees are as rude and indifferent as they can possibly be. We are there almost every day, it is always the same. Sick of careless people working customer service. Expected better in Humboldt but everywhere is the same, lame and strange.
Hello Danyl, I am sorry to hear you have received less than excellent interactions with our staff. I know there have been several occasions that I have seen and greeted you warmly and have assisted you with questions about your account. If there is anything specifically I can do to make your visits with us better, please let me know. I can be reached at our Mill Creek location (707) 267-7525 extension 807. Regards, Paula: General Manager
Positive experience: Clean, friendly, lots of good classes. Big pool and co-ed hot tub, steam and sauna in both locker rooms. -1 for limited hours and they will over charge you for things if you are not careful.
Hello Natan,Thank you for your review; we always appreciate the feedback so we can use the information to better our service and offerings. If you can share what you are referring to regarding over charging I hope to correct any issues you experienced. Feel free to call our Mill Creek location (707) 267-7525 ext 807. Regards, Paula: General Manager
Negative experience: Started 3 yrs ago beautiful facility. However, when I started going the contract I signed guaranteed 4 swimming lanes open at all times, now it's down to two. I have tried to get there at a time that is not busy. Management doesn't return phone calls. Left three messages.
Hello Pat, I am happy to hear you find our facility delightful and I will be more than happy to speak with you about your concerns regarding the swimming lanes. Feel free to come see me at our Mill Creek location during usual business hours. Regards, Paula - General Manager
Fantastic experience: I come to this gym to do a mile on the treadmill everyday. I appreciate there is plenty of parking, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The facility is clean, machines are always working and it’s never been too too busy when I come in to do my usual routine. My only complaint has to do with other members who don't wipe machines after use or those who leave puddles of water by the lockers. But staff are quick to wipe up the water puddles when they see them.
Hello Rachel, we are appreciative of your positive review and I will be sure to share your shout-out with the team. I am glad to hear that our staff is quick to address the "puddles" because we want to be sure our Clubs are clean and safe for all
Fantastic experience: Been going to this gym for about over a year now and I love it. Staff is extremely friendly (even at 5am). The gym and locker rooms are always very clean which makes me feel comfortable. The athmosphere is refreshing and full of kind, non judgmental people. I haven't felt more comfortable at a gym than I do this one.
Kudos to you and the rest of the 5am-ers! We are thrilled that you experience the comradery and non-judgmental experience we strive to instill. Our Clubs are here to provide a fun, friendly environment to all that enter our doors
Negative experience: Very disorganized and disappointing. Every time I’ve needed to get someone on the phone they’ll leave a note but refuse to call you back. I tried for months while I was out of town. They will only email you sparsely and it took me months to have one conversation with staff. One time I dropped an earring through the sauna bench and it took them a month to take a screw driver and retrieve it for me with again, bad communication and I had to keep calling to check if they’d gotten it.. They also have a 30 day cancellation policy and make sure you email instead of calling if you want to cancel because they won’t talk to you unless you email.. Disappointed and not worth it.
Hello,We appreciate your feedback and will use it to better improve our customer service and processes. I would like the opportunity to work with you to provide you the answers you are looking for and gather additional information to learn where the line of communication first broke. Please call our Mill Creek location (707) 267-7525 and dial extension 807 to reach my personal line. I look forward to hearing from you. Paula - General Manager
Fantastic experience: Very nice gym. First time today. I am from out of town and am very impressed. Clean and respectable. Front desk staff incredibly professional. Will recommend it to others.
Thank you for your positive review. We hope you visit with us at The Club the next time you are in Humboldt County
Fantastic experience: Very down to earth non judgemental people. I haven't worked out in forever and I am overly conscious of that but I've received nothing but encouragement and support that I'm starting somewhere. Clean facilities and an awesome variety of equipment as well as sauna and steam room. Love the pool and hot tub as well. Not overly chlorinated which is great. They fix or clean something pretty fast when something happens as well. Very happy. A bit pricey but worth it in my eyes.
Thank you for your 5 star review Heather - looking forward to seeing you at The Club again
Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great gym. They keep the locker rooms so clean & tidy. Staff is friendly. The pool and hot tub are great. Edited 9/14/23: unfortunately the women's locker room hasn't been as clean over the last few months as when I first left the review... Still leaving 5 stars overall because it's a great location, the sauna is awesome, most of the staff are welcoming and friendly and the pool and hot tub are fabulous. Hopefully the attention to detail and cleanliness of the locker rooms throughout the day will return.
Thank you for your 5 star review Ruby. We do take cleanliness seriously and want all that come to our club to feel like it's a home away from home with perks.
Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience. The staff is helpful and friendly. The facility is kept clean at all times. I've had great aquatics classes with Stephanie. Lap swimming is an enjoyable experience in a clean pool. My free session with a personal trainer Earl, motivated me to purchase more sessions. He was very helpful getting me started on my personal fitness goals and provided exercises that would address old injuries. The price is worth every penny. I have now taken yoga and dance classes. I am so impressed with the expertise of each of the instructors.
Hi Marliese - it sounds like you are taking advantage of all your membership Perks which we are thrilled to hear. Better yet, finding yourself a trainer that meets and supports your needs is what we strive to provide. We agree Earl and all our Group Ex instructors are top-notch and hope all can come in and experience what we have to offer
Positive experience: Close.
Thank you for review Mark, please let us know if there was something we missed the mark on with our customer service or offerings at either of our Clubs. We always invite and opportunity to grow.
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out we love the day care my kids didn't want to leave.
Thank you Sarah, yes, our child care staff and space are 5 star quality
Positive experience: This was a great gym, but they were a bit too costly for my pocket
Glad to hear you enjoy our acility. Please know we have several price points for membership and I am sure there is one to fit your budget. Feel free to stop by either location for more information
Negative experience: This gym is incredibly unprofessional in regards to membership fees and cancellations.
Fantastic experience: The Club at Mill Creek is exceptional! The facilities are amazing and the classes are small and intimate! I love coming here to exercise!
Great to hear Sofia, looking forward to continuing to provide you and others a quality experience
Negative experience: I had horrible customer experience here. You would think a gym that you’re paying more to go to would treat its members better. I took a pause in my membership when I had to be away for a couple months, and didn’t think they would try to still charge me. Every other service that I stop paying for understands that is when I don’t want the service anymore, but this gym wants to take more money from people unethically. Now that I’m ready to go back to the gym I will not be going to this one, but to Planet Fitness in Eureka. This gym wants to sends collections to my house, but this gym will not get my loyal membership again.
Hello Ab, we am surprised to hear that you did not receive the high quality service every member deserves. I would like the opportunity to look into your situation and help come to a resolution or at least find out what went wrong regarding your freeze request. Feel free to swing by one of our locations or call (707) 267-7525 and ask for Paula
Negative experience: I'm a disabled senior and was over charged, mischarged without restitution and they do not back the verbal contracts made by their employees about services and charges. My contract for services was seriously not kept on their part. They also ignore emails, voicemail and messages. And, I joined six months before they opened at the Central location and lost the entire month of November which they took even after I signed a freeze order, when I quit in response to their toxic treatment of me.
Fantastic experience: Great Gym
Another 5 star review - thank you Danny :)
Fantastic experience: Rad gym
Fantastic experience: ️
Thank you or your high review David, looking forward to continuing to provide 5 star service
Fantastic experience: The best gym in town!
Wahoo 5 stars, thank you Doc
Fantastic experience: Great place to work out we love the day care my kids didn't want to leave.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of The Club for Fitness ever since I moved to McKinleyville 3 years ago. Definitely the best gym I’ve ever been a member of. All of the staff here have created a wonderful culture of fun, inclusiveness and encouragement. So many great classes that are accessible to many fitness levels. Thanks to all the staff, trainers, instructors for all you have been doing to make this gym what it is now. I’m 72 and and am perhaps in the best physical shape of my life due to your help. All the praise includes both locations. Keep doing what you are doing.
Wow, we are so happy to hear you have found positive results with your health and wellness journey with us. We agree that our trainers and instructors are not only of the highest caliber but are also compassionate and dedicated to helping others. Can't wait to see what the next 3 years bring you :)
Fantastic experience: The Club at Mill Creek is exceptional! The facilities are amazing and the classes are small and intimate! I love coming here to exercise!
Fantastic experience: Great gym
What a pleasure to see your 5 star review - thank you Maria
Fantastic experience: Love everything about this place. Child care pool hot tub sauna classes and a great workout room
Thank you for your positive comments about our facility and staff - we agree they are 5 star
Fantastic experience: Personally I only come to this location because I find the environment more welcoming and comfortable for my likings. The front desk staff are always kind and friendly! I try to avoid crowded times and usually that works out just fine. I do wish it was open later on the weekends but it just motivates me to get my butt in the gym earlier!
Thank you for sharing your positive experiences Taylor :) Since leaving your review, I am sure you are thrilled that we have extended our hours at both locations. Looking forward to seeing more; early or late in the day :)
Fantastic experience: This place has it all from child care hot tub sauna pool and the right equipment to get you into shape love this gym this location seems to have a quiet feel compared to the central location
Thank you for your 5 star review - keeping our amenities like our pools, saunas and steam rooms are of great importance to us.
Fantastic experience: The pool and locker rooms are kept very clean. All the staff are great. It’s a wonderful facility for swimmers.
Fantastic experience: I really like this gym. Workers are all really friendly and quick to want to help and it's almost always very clean. Lots of equipment, although I do wish there was more heavy freeweights in each workout room. Love the sauna and hot tub and pool too!
Fantastic experience: Clean, newer facilty, nice, staff!
Fantastic experience: Very nice, clean comfortable, everyone working out was conscious of wiping down used machines. Enjoyed it, nice to be. Back at it
Fantastic experience: The Club is amazing! I have been going for a year now, and even thru the pandemic, I can't say enough about how great the classes are, the teacher, the equipment...
Fantastic experience: Nice family place. Friendly people. Very clean ,love it !!
Fantastic experience: A classed based gym with a spin class, two weight rooms, a pool, a hot tub, saunas, steem rooms, and several classes. A wonderful place for new and experienced gym goers, as well as those who just want somewhere to swim and relax after a hard day.
Fantastic experience: Great staff and clean club
Fantastic experience: Clean, great staff, everyone is motivating at whatever your level is.
Fantastic experience: Since covid-19 the gyms have been closed but since the restrictions are lowered the gym as a been great and the sunsets after a storm have been a definite plus. Everyone wears masks and cleans up the weights after they're done which is nice because everyone is being responsible
Negative experience: No integrity and poor customer service. The employees have been short with me on several occasions and now they've billed me for two months even though I've been trying to have my account canceled. They never answer the phone and pretend that they didn't get my voicemails asking to cancel even though I've left several. I get it that things are tough because of covid but stealing from your customers is not ok.
Positive experience: Great health club, clean and well maintained with a lovely selection of equipment and classes to meet any workout needs. Pool is not overly chlorinated. Sauna and steam room breaks regularly.
Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality
Fantastic experience: They do amazing at making sure all equipment is sanitized in between use. Great at maintaining distancing protocol
Fantastic experience: State of the art facility. Probably cleaner than the hospital.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! The staff is super awesome and friendly and all of the equipment is great! I love taking my kids to the pool for family swim. The Club has a super chill vibe and I feel very safe and secure working out here. Highly recommended! Get your butts off the couch! Its fun!
Fantastic experience: I only use the pool.sometimes it is cold.but I love it.bring your own shampoo and body wash.they forget to fill the shower soap
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym spot
Fantastic experience: I burn 1200 calories there 5 days a week
Fantastic experience: Clean, friendly, opportunity for private dressing,spacious, great pool and tub.
Fantastic experience: Clean, local pool, awesome employees.
Fantastic experience: Awesome gym spot
Positive experience: It's the same as other workout places. Nothing special.
Negative experience: They lied to all their members, promising a salt water pool for over a year, just to back out at the last moment. Spineless cowards wouldnt even release a memo to their members explaining why.
Fantastic experience: I love this gym! The staff is super awesome and friendly and all of the equipment is great! I love taking my kids to the pool for family swim. The Club has a super chill vibe and I feel very safe and secure working out here. Highly recommended! Get your butts off the couch! Its fun!
Fantastic experience: I like this place. It's bright, modern and has a ton of equipment. All of the staff have been so friendly and helpful. I really enjoy the pilates classes as well. My kid loves the fitness circuit and smaller machines. The new gym has a beautiful pool, sauna, and I'm looking forward to the Barre classes once they start up.
Fantastic experience: My boot camp /power up class is awesome. My teacher is really encouraging tough and always friendly. The staff is great. I love it
Fantastic experience: I love everything about The Club! I am an individual who truly strives with atmosphere and the club is just that! The atmosphere, the vibe, and the layout are spot on. When you walk in there is always a friendly face to greet you at the door. The facility is top notch and like nothing else in Humboldt. Cody is my trainer and worth every penny. He is knowledgeable, encouraging, and pushes you past limits you didn't think were possible. Cody goes above and beyond and I feel lucky to be his client!
Fantastic experience: The simplest way of putting it, os they care about everyone's individual needs. I went in to talk to someone about my personal challenges in life, and they were willing t accommodate everything!
Fantastic experience: Totally love this place! Highly recommend kari. Super great place to go if you have children.
Fantastic experience: Club fitness is hands down the best place to workout in Humboldt, thanks for this awesome addition to our otherwise lacking selection of gyms.
Positive experience: Nice new, clean gym. Lots of machines, free weights and everything is in good shape. Gym can get packed around 5pm.
Negative experience: Quiet and lonely. More staff than people working out. Didnt attend for six months and they wanted $350 upon return. Even though i didnt go they kept charging my account. Well they cant charge it anymore!
Positive experience: The Club so far as a small starter gym has been good. Nice equipment , friendly faces and clean facility , however when I signed up in July 2018, they had said the bigger facility was to be open by the 1st of the year. I signed up for there early bird special initial rate that was to carry on into my membership in the new, bigger facility , which has much more to offer. It has now been 1 year since and still they haven't opened. I called in late March to inquire about opening and they said early May, now it is close to May and I called again and was told now not till late July. I would have cancelled my membership months ago, but they have not considered even bringing awareness to current members.. I hope this changes for the better in the coming months as it has been a big disappointment as of late... I GAVE 4 STARS because it is a great place, good staff, clean, nice olympic weights station, a much needed contribution in the community. As the Mckinleyville community is growing we need more places like this.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to work out in!!! In McKinleyville, there is nothing comparable to The Club for Fitness. Period. The gym is so nice, seems like it would come from the city. Facility has new equipment with a wide variety of machines to work on. Friendly staff. I also like that they are locally owned. Totally recommend checking out this place.
