Cincinnati Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: An original! A little step back in time but so cool. Felt like home the minute I stepped inside. The downstairs is beautiful, enough exercise equipment and weights upstairs to get the job done, indoor track, indoor lap pool, full court basketball, and you can grab a beer in the bar after your workout. Pat Lindsay has done a great job with the place...Downtown Cincinnati's best kept secret....All men's club so have your wife or girlfriend meet you in the bar after! Perfect.

Fantastic experience: Historic time capsule and great place to join.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I joined the CAC recently, and absolutely love it. The team running day to day operations is great and the Executive Director, Eric K. is super helpful. The club itself has everything you could ask for — a sauna, multiple weight rooms, a steam room and workspaces. They’re also in the process of renovating, so I am excited to see what else is to come. Lastly, during this pandemic when everything has been closing or limiting access to certain areas, the CAC has been on top of it as far as cleaning and assuring all members are comfortable. Highly recommend, especially for young professionals.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined and been extremely impressed with every aspect of the club. Staff and fellow members are outgoing and friendly. The executive director has planned some exciting upcoming events including happy hours, brunches, and formal events. If you're looking for an athletic club that goes above and beyond, CAC is your place.

Fantastic experience: The Cincinnati Athletic Club is fantastic. There is a real sense of community in the club and the facility is top-notch. There is great equipment for any type of fitness: strength training, cardio, swimming, CrossFit, basketball, racquetball, among others. I especially love the Peloton at the club. The staff at the club are incredibly friendly and always asking members for advice on how the club can improve. They continue to try to make the experience at the club better and better.

Fantastic experience: Neat building!!

Fantastic experience: I just joined CAC and am extremely glad I made the switch from my previous gym. CAC offers so many training options in a variety of spaces, the hours of operation are great, and the staff is beyond helpful and accommodating. Best steam room I've ever experienced. Looking forward to the new golf simulator and new bar/lounge area. Fantastic place with an amazing history.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of the CAC for 4 years now, and it has been an amazing experience. Especially in recent years as our Executive Director has worked tirelessly to grow our membership. His efforts have paid off as we continue seeing many new faces at the club. The CAC is a cozy place, and I could not imagine being a member of another athletic club.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the best gym experience I have ever had! The staff and members are awesome! Worth every penny!!

Fantastic experience: I recently joined the CAC and am very happy with my choice. The establishment has an old school feel to match the historic architecture. The range of machinery and weights are what anyone would need whether a novice or expert. There are numerous amenities which make membership well worth it. The facility is never too busy which can be a problem at other gyms. Centrally located in downtown Cincinnati, it’s an easy walk if you’re a downtown dweller.

Fantastic experience: It is the best gym I've even been a member of.

Fantastic experience: The club is a fantastic place to work out and network. Since the current manager Eric took over last year there have been a ton of updates and renovations. The service is great and everyone is extremely friendly.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 3 years now. The management, board, and members are pouring a ton of investment into the club. The experience has never been better. You owe it to yourself to check it out. It's not just about bygone history anymore.

Fantastic experience: I joined 3 months ago and couldn’t be happier. The facility is extremely clean, never crowded, and Eric the director is constantly taking feedback for improvement. The club has also been a great resource for networking. It is definitely more of a “club” compared to just a gym.

Fantastic experience: This is a great club; many positive features, friendly staff, and convenient hours. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Just joined the club a little over a month ago. It’s amazing! Never waiting for weights or machines. Pick up basketball games over lunch MWF and during the evening. The spa area is fabulous (steam room, sauna, ice bath, Swedish steam shower, warm-up room, cool down room, lap pool and jacuzzi). Boxing room. Racquetball courts. CrossFit, HIIT room, and multiple weight rooms. Plus, a bar and multiple rooms for meetings or just to whip your laptop out and get some work done when cooling down from a workout.

Fantastic experience: The top athletic club in Cincinnati hands down! Great staff, endless networking and fantastic facilitate equipment.

Fantastic experience: Classic space with accommodating staff and great member relationships.

Fantastic experience: I toured the facility in 2016 and passed on the opportunity to join because of the outdated equipment. After seeing some of the recent postings, I decided to revisit and joined. The fitness equipment has been updated and the Exec Director has a great vision for the continued improvement of the entire club experience. It feels old school in a good way, but has improvements that make it relevant today.

Fantastic experience: Best club in the city!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome and has everything you need. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: The Cincinnati Athletic Club is truly a unique gem nestled in downtown Cincinnati. Founded in 1853, it has a rich history including multiple former United States Presidents who have been members. It is a full service gym with towel service, a lap pool with four lanes, whirlpool, sauna and steam room. It offers daily free group fitness classes with a certified personal trainer. Not only that, but is is also a social club with a bar and pool table and social events to foster friendship and community among the members. If you are looking for a gym that feels like home, the CAC is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: This club is great for both working out as well as networking. The club is constantly improving to provide members with a top of the line facility. I joined the club 8 months ago and have had a fantastic experience with all the members and staff!

Positive experience: Beautiful space in downtown Cincinnati, men's only athletic club

Fantastic experience: Best all-in-one athletic club experience in the region. The recent addition of Eric Knapp has allowed the club to undergo significant change for the better with further plans to improve the member experience in the immediate future. Regardless of your fitness regimen, the CAC has the equipment available to suite you. Networking opportunities exist and the first floor bar prices and feel cannot be beat.

Fantastic experience: Amazing location. Oldest running club of its kind with a few former Presidential members. This is not only a great place to workout but a great network as well!

Positive experience: Rejoined- glad to see improvements!
