Northwest Athletic Club

Negative experience: Do not listen to the reviews! This place is beyond run down. The cardio equipment is ancient and barely works, even if at all. I didn’t see a Sauna or any child care facility. There were random bits of junk shoved into corners and no lights (or even a light switch!) in the women’s bathroom. Holes with insulation peaking out in the ceiling and unfinished walls. They should give people a free pass to try it out. Sorry I wasted five bucks on the five day pass. The only good thing was the staff; Very friendly and helpful but overall not an acceptable experience for a decent workout.

Fantastic experience: Me and a friend recently joined, we love it ♥️

Fantastic experience: 5 dollar day pass! Wide variety of equipment! Strong Ham sandwich smell though 10/10 would ham sandwich again

Fantastic experience: Family owned and just good people. My kind of place. Try it you'll like it.

Positive experience: I went there for a pop up Zumba class which was fantastic! Grateful to the facility for allowing us to dance there tonight!

Fantastic experience: The owner is an awesome guy let me come in and use the sauna to cut weight for my fight. Old school type of gym with just about everything you could need

Fantastic experience: This gym includes a hot sauna, 2 floors of training equipment, all the machines and weights you would ever need, extremely friendly staff, very welcoming members, child care available, racquetball courts, large indoor pool and the nicest owner Mr. Lee all for a great price. I recommend this gym to everyone I know and anyone looking for a place to grow. Supports veterans and people with disabilities. You won’t find anything like it. This is your sign to start today.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Lee and his staff have created a wonderful place to work out and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I recently moved states and miss this gym and their sauna.

Positive experience: Friendly staff, good equipment, always making improvements. Price is great! They have a swimming pool and sauna. It's in need of TLC. If you want a no nonsense place to work out, without a big dent on your budget, this is a great option.

Fantastic experience: This is the place to accomplish your goal.

Fantastic experience: Great variety of workout options.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to get into shape or maintain your already chiseled greatness then this is a good place to do it.

Fantastic experience: For the price. Its the best there is. Yea there are others but those are for socializing, flurting, waisting time. This one is like golds gym but with actual results in your workouts and not stds.

Fantastic experience: The owner Lee is very friendly, the staff is very friendly, this gym just has that old school feeling that I love it’s hot sweaty and musty lol but it’s just that old school feeling when you train love the place plus not to packed .

Negative experience: Dated facility, not very clean - but cheap!

Fantastic experience: NAC is the BEST gym in NWA! No country club here. If you're looking for a place that has all the weight lifting equipment needed to get jacked, racquetball courts, sports training, and/or fitness classes...this is your place. It feels like family too!

Fantastic experience: So if your looking for a gym with real equipment and a lot of it this place is for you. The best shape I ever got in was at Lords gym in north Little Rock and this gym is very similar when it comes to cardio and weight equipment. Staff was very nice and so was the owner Lee. Looking forward to getting some killer workouts here this spring and summer!!!

Fantastic experience: Has all the equipment I want and a pool

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to work out with few oversized guys who drop weights and think they are the best..not here. It's great and the sauna is very warm. Very welcoming. Older place, but very nice.

Positive experience: Good gym with decent equipment just a little dated.

Positive experience: Old club. Lot older equipment and pool needs good scrub.

Fantastic experience: This is the gym that Rocky Balboa trained in. If you prefer flashy, hipster gyms with 18 year olds as trainers, FitnessOne is the place for you. If on the other hand you want an exercise and diet plan that works, talk to John. The guy is in his 50’s and can bench press a bus. He creates individual workout plans for anyone who wants to shed a few pounds or for aspiring athletes in volleyball, basketball, football, wrestling targeting speed, endurance, explosiveness, max vertical, power.... Middle and high school age kids brought in by their parents to work with him are a common sight. Plus 3 racquetball courts (with an actual community of players), pool, jacuzzi, yoga, martial arts classes and child care area.

Fantastic experience: Bruddah Lee and his workers are a very nice people,this place is a pretty quite place and people there are all nice,the best place to workout I’m telling y’all

Fantastic experience: A nice local gym that has been here for years. I like it a lot

Fantastic experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: Lee is an excellent owner and source of helpful information

Fantastic experience: Awesome place! friendly people and it's improving a lot over the last few months. New machines, and the weight benches are also getting a face lift I noticed this week. All of these things are great to see. Very refreshing especially for the people like me who have been here for many years. We can't wait to see what else Lee has up his sleeves for this gym. I love this place a lot, it's a second home for me and my family.

Negative experience: This place is GROSS!! I seriously can’t believe it’s even open. Pool and hot tub are are disgusting. Weight equipment must be 20+ years old. Benches are full of holes, etc. You’d be better off going anywhere but here.

Fantastic experience: Great family oriented place, all new equipment and they have added a weight loss plan!

Positive experience: This gym... where do I begin? First, it's an established gym and has been around for a long time, and yes, it does need work, BUT, the staff is very helpful even though they could be a little more friendly, The guy behind the front desk most of the time never seems to know anything, and he has been there for several years. For a long time, there was no one really cleaning the gym on a regular basis and it has developed an odor that is very unappealing. Lately, though, I have noticed the lady from the childcare room has started cleaning a lot. The stairs are light grey now but they were black for a long time. The atmosphere has changed in the past few weeks it is coming back to life in there. The bathrooms and showers have shown a lot of improvement, also, the new equipment downstairs is wonderful and the pool area plants are coming back to life! It would be awesome if the hot tub could be updated and kept more clean. I think that the owner is taking some positive steps toward bringing this place back to its former glory, and I am glad, I will be glad to see what improvements he has in store next! I love the lady upstairs in the child care room, She has really changed things there, the staff seem to be happier and more structured. My niece's kids love being in there with Miss Dannie, she really knows how to keep the kids entertained! I have seen her interact with all of the kids, younger, older, and with disabilities. That says a lot about the kind of people that the owner has finally got working for him. Quality people, positive changes and a clean energetic atmosphere will keep people like my family coming. I almost quit this gym, but I am glad to see the changes so I wont have to.

Negative experience: Smells strongly of mold. Most of floor is carpeted and filthy. Entire facility is Filthy. Machines apparently not maintained or cleaned and many are dangerously malfunctioning. Childcare is dismal and depressing with no accountability. My child apparently cried in fear after I left and no one came to get me nor comforted her. Not handicap accessible.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with everything you need, run by a great guy!

Fantastic experience: I like a lot! The people is what makes the experience great! The gym isn't in the best shape but it has what I need, it's nothing like planet fitness which I love. If you want to make gains this is the gym for you!

Fantastic experience: Lee & his family are great people! My family has had a membership here about 15 yrs. this is an Old School, No Frills Gym, that is more than fairly priced. I started there because of location, Now, we wouldn't go anywhere else. When Lee isn't there, he always has someone that is Personable & Helpful!! Be sure to give em a try, tell em Billyclub sent ya!! ♣️

Fantastic experience: Great gym with everything you need, run by a great guy!

Negative experience: When I called with a question I was directed to the owner, Lee. He provided the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I hope others will not waste their time here and will go find a place that offers their paying customers respect and professionalism.
