Little Rock Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: Family Friendly, my kids love it here! The group exercise classes are wonderful and there are so many to choose from you are sure to find one (or several) that you love! We love the tennis courts and the pools too! The kid pool is great in the summer and the 25 meter is even covered and heated in the winter. Could not ask for a better, more well-rounded health and fitness club!

Fantastic experience: The staff is friendly and the classes are amazing. Orange ball mayhem is so much fun & Sunday yoga with Beverly is my happy place. My husband and I love LR Athletic Club.

Fantastic experience: Best club in central arkansas by far. My 8yr old son and I love the large sauna and indoor/outdoor pools!

Fantastic experience: My girls are taking swimming classes there. This is our second month. Very patient people. All the teachers we had so far are very nice and patient. We will see how the kids will progress. Too soon tell. But we're very happy with them. We don't mind the 25mns drive just for the 2 30mns classes. They also have a WHOLE lot of equipment and other sports. You should really check it out. It's totally worth the price.

Fantastic experience: Whenever I am in town I love going here to utilize their facilities. It is always so clean and orderly!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service-love the new Chill Room! :)

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Everyone is so nice and the facilities are awesome! So glad we joined!

Fantastic experience: This place is the best i have been to. The staff are all very friendly, the facilities are clean and we can have Aqua Fit in the wintertime because the pool is heated. They even put up a warming tent for us.

Fantastic experience: I love arriving there and seeing familiar faces greeting me. I like the array of options from classes to machines. I love my Zumba class, it has helped me during tough times lately. Ready to hang out poolside too!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love being a member of 3 years at LRAC!!! The staff are extremely professional, hospitable, and friendly. The facilities are always nice, clean, and orderly. I always recommend LRAC to family and friends!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for almost 30 years. It's clean, well managed and a great place to exercise. Thanks LRAC team, well done!

Fantastic experience: Love this club. It has everything you would need and more. They do an amazing job at providing a nice, quality, high end experience from the time you enter to the time you leave. Classes are also included with the membership! So whether you want to workout with free weights or join a class, there are plenty of options available. Would recommend this to ANYONE looking for a quality club experience.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful family-inclusive environment /facilities boasting a wide variety of interests. While known for their tennis program, the fitness center is equipped with any and all equipment and technology one could imagine. several classes are available including barre, Pilates, spin, cross-fit, yoga, aqua aerobics, pickle-ball, and more. Indoor/outdoor pools make this club unique as does the childcare facility. More, there are completely outfitted dressing rooms with a sauna, hot tub, steam room, and massage chairs. Go for a visit and join; you’ll be well-pleased.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to work out, everything you could ever need to use, and the locker rooms have hot tub, sauna and steam rooms!

Fantastic experience: I am glad I joined the Athletic Club. The location is convenient, I love the group lessons, and variety of work out options.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful environment. LRAC is so much more than a gym. Everyone is friendly, the pool and splash pad are relaxing, and the Chill Room and on-site restaurant (with beer and wine selections) helps you unwind.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Great facility with great personnel who are willing to help at any time. Facility is clean from top to bottom! Love the location and the amenities which suits my athletic tastes perfectly. If you haven't had the chance to see it in person... I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: This is best fitness club in the State, hands down. There is a reason they have been around for 30 plus years. They have top notch equipment, a multitude of classes to choose from, exceptional staff, and good people all around which creates a warm, healthy atmosphere. It's very easy to see why the LRAC is the best club in the state of Arkansas. I love spending part of my day there. Worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality The club does a great job keeping up with fitness/exercise trends. They do a great job keeping all equipment in good working order. They are quick to repair a broken machine, even if it's just a torn seat cushion or other pad on the machine.

Fantastic experience: Very large scope of activities, classes and equipment. Very clean and well maintained. Friendly and professional staff and trainers.

Fantastic experience: The Athletic Club is an awesome family atmosphere. Even after you work out you can chill and get some work done in the cafe. There's a free wight tier on the floor where the track is but the tier above it has free weights as well if you're not comfortable with the mirror bros. Big spacious and awesome. Worth. Every. Penny.

Fantastic experience: Great neighborhood club! Lots of room, tons of equipment. The kids area is phenom - check them in to play while you work out! Lots of classes to choose from. Best part -Coffee is fresh!

Fantastic experience: Everything you could want in a gym for every type of workout. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Pool has lane ropes up and is great for early morning swims. Sauna and steam room are clean and HOT! Highly recommend LRAC! Frank and the team are doing a great job!

Fantastic experience: Two things stand out about my experience at LRAC: 1. People - The diversity of members and the warmth of the class instructors 2. Price - It's cheaper than medicine or counseling and arguably more effective for overall health

Fantastic experience: The LRAC is the total package. The facilities are top notch and the staff cares. The instructors are exceptional and it’s an all around solid experience every time I walk through the door.

Fantastic experience: The LRAC is a very inclusive community with a wide variety of people. It doesn't feel like your typical "gym." I love that there are areas to rest, do school work, and socialize. This encourages members to stay a while and form relationships to build a community. In the short time I've attended, I've formed some great friendships with people to encourage me on my health journey. The facility is spotless and the machines are well maintained. The expansive selection of fitness classes makes it easy for me to find something to fit my needs and level of fitness. What I have been most impressed by is the class instructors. Even though they are teaching a group, they still get around to individuals (like me) who need help with proper form. (They purposely keep classes small, which helps maintain a high level of quality instruction and safety.) As someone who gets injured easily, this has been so helpful. The instructors make me want to keep coming back for more!

Fantastic experience: The facilities are always clean, machines are the newest in the market and work. Pools are perfect temperature. Employees are more like friends. You get what you pay for. Very seldom do expectations and dollars meet, it does here

Fantastic experience: If you can afford it monthly, it’s worth it. It is the nicest gym in and around Little Rock. Just very pricey. Pay for what you get though. They offer wonderful classes and it’s super clean.

Fantastic experience: A very clean and family friendly environment with equipment and activities for all ages and fitness levels. No body shaming, just people looking to live a healthy lifestyle. Amenities include fitness classes, sauna, pool, racquetball, basketball, tennis, various workout equipment, and indoor track.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality So much more than a gym. The Athletic Club community is so supportive. The staff and facilities are in a class of their own.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love this wonderful club. Immaculate facility, friendly membership group, locker rooms are like a day spa. Lots of variety and the atmosphere is inspirational not intimidating

Fantastic experience: We love the Athletic Club! I love Marion’s hip hop class (check it out on LRAC Facebook page) and my husband started CrossFit a few years ago at LRAC and is hooked! The personalized instruction he received to learn about form and which muscles to engage for each exercise give me peace of mind that he will not injure himself. We love the pools and splash area for our young son and we love seeing familiar faces-friends he can play with! I have been going to the Athletic Club since birth and would not want it any other way for my own growing family.

Fantastic experience: Five years ago I began leading Group Exercises Classes for the Athletic Club system. I can honestly say leading these classes has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. Why? It's because members of The Little Rock Athletic Clubs (LRAC, Racquet, NLRAC), are some of the finest people I have ever known. They are engaging, friendly, dedicated to the classes they attend, and - fortunately for me - very forgiving of in class instructor blunders! LRAC, LRRC, and NLRAC are a wonderful community of individuals focused on their health and well-being. I'm so glad to be a part of it.

Fantastic experience: LRAC is not the cheapest in town but it is the best. I have been a member since the early to mid 90’s. Great place regardless of what age group you are in. Lots of classes for all ages. You can swim, lift weights, CrossFit, run, walk, play tennis indoor or outdoor, play racket ball, basketball, cycle class, get a personal trainer, have a massage, sit in the hot tub, sauna, or stream room. Lots of equipment so you hardly ever have to wait for anything. Great friendly staff and they are constantly cleaning everything so you have clean equipment all the time. There’s no excuses for not being able to be healthy. They offer childcare and they have a nice play area for the little kids to play and be supervised by staff while you workout. They have a nice Pro Shop with tennis gear to workout clothing and much more. If you are to tired to go home and cook after a workout then LRAC has you covered there as well. They offer some tasty food options at the grill. You can sit down and relax while they cook your meal. Even adult beverages are available as an option. There’s a lot to offer under one roof at LRAC. You will be spoiled. At least drop in and try it before you join a gym so you can see and feel the difference of a gym and a health club. There’s really no comparison.

Fantastic experience: I'm so impressed with the Little Rock Athletic Club! It's very clean and all the employees are outstanding; so friendly and ready to help you any time. I take a special class there 2 times a week and the coaches who 'teach' it are excellent.

Fantastic experience: I love the Little Rock Athletic Club and the wonderful fitness experience that they provide. Personally, I love the variety of classes, workout equipment, and amenities provided by the club. On top of that, the staff is absolutely top-notch and takes good care of its members. If you're not a member, you need to schedule a time to take a tour and join!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in Little Rock, and has the biggest indoor tennis facility! The staff is always extremely friendly and helpful. I got locked out of my locker at 6am one morning and they were very apologetic and were speedy about getting the locker unlocked. The tennis pros are fantastic.

Fantastic experience: I love spending my time here. I’m not an athlete or anything i just appreciate the clean facilities, the helpful people, the abundant amount of things the membership offers. I like to bring my 8yo son to the children’s pool and splash area. I spent countless hours this summer tanning and swimming at the pools. Couldn’t be happier. edit: December 2020. have been a member for over 18 months now, have lost over 80lbs swimming, playing basketball and using the machines. i have gotten to be friends with several of the staff which honestly says something for me as I'm generally a background/leave me alone type of patron. I've never been in better shape, both physically and mentally and any minor issue I have with the club is a misstep by an individual person and not the club as a whole. I plan to be a member for a very long time.

Fantastic experience: LRAC is the perfect place to go for the whole family. They offer everything imaginable and are always willing to provide the latest “fad” classes. (which keeps the menu fresh and fun) Also, trainers are always available to answer questions and assist with equipment! There is no better place for a great, enjoyable workout!

Fantastic experience: The staff is amazing!!! Lifeguards, front desk, child care, class instructors, grill, tennis etc. I am always greeted with, at the very least, a smile. Shannon Huntsman went above and beyond helping us join and get settled in. He still greets me by name and checks in when we see each other at the club. We are so happy here and plan to be members for a long time!

Fantastic experience: As a member of more than 15 years I am still convinced that Athletic Club is the best fitness club for my needs. My schedule is hectic and being able to have group exercise classes available at anytime of the day is important for me. They constantly strive to introduce new innovative classes with interesting routines led by highly trained certified instructors. The atmosphere is fantastic, workers are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend joining Athletic clubs.

Fantastic experience: The LRAC is by far the best gym in Little Rock and has amenities, classes, equipment for any and all ages, including daycare. The staff is friendly, equipment is constantly being clean and they are constantly upgrading the place. Very well manage and operated. This place is my home away from home! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was never interested to exercise until my sister made me tag along & I bregrudgingly, went with her to your gym. In fact, I even dreaded the idea of going to one. But eversince that first time, I’ve been hooked.... though never did thought I was going to be. Little Rock Athletic Club was a complete surprise. Soon as we entered (my first time, as observed) were right away greeted by the affable hellos, faces & smiles at the reception desk. It’s that warm & happy feeling you instantly receive that you are most welcome & they are delighted that you are there. The gym, pool, tennis & its facilities are well equipped, clean & properly maintained. There’s even a good coffee bar that one can partake to increase its metabolism & to enhance energy to exercise. The staff & trainers are most friendly, pleasant, approachable & helpful. The members are also nice & amiable. Over all, it’s a most comfortable place to be in.

Fantastic experience: Good facility and good crowd, plenty of things to do. Best place to play tennis at since they have 9 indoor courts and no other club in Little Rock has that many indoor courts. Our whole family enjoys the Athletic Club.

Fantastic experience: I love the equipment choices in the various weight lifting areas. The swimming pools are always clean and refreshing. Great bathrooms. There are plenty of classes to chose from and the whole atmosphere is inviting for any exercise enthusiast. I would not hesitate to recommend the LRAC to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Staff are professional,pleasant and helpful. Environment is clean. Coaches are so caring and competent Whole atmosphere is inviting,motivating and draws us there. Some days,especially weekends,it's tempting to skip gym....but once in the gym,it just takes a couple of minutes to feel glad to be there. Many choices People who come to the club have good manners and are very friendly. This is the first gym where I see such a wide spectrum of age groups..toddlers to 80 plus citizens Free coffee etc etc. I planned to take individual membership...but my family was so impressed and curious what transformed me. They checked it out...transferred from other gyms to LRAC. It's a great opportunity for family bonding as well. Our coaches know our family members by our first names. Front desk staff always greet us with a happy smile and greet us on our way out...regularly. It's one of my best investments in personal / family life. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: LRAC's staff is awesome from the trainers, greeters, maintenance, and administrators. It's a fun friendly place. Though the facilities have been there a while, they are very clean and are constantly evolving and upgraded to meet changing fitness demands. I love it!

Fantastic experience: I participated in the 25 Days for 25 Dollars promotion benefitting Habitat for Humanity. This gave me time to visit a wide variety of classes. There are so many classes I didn't have time to try them all. There’s no need to ever be bored with your workout. All the employees were friendly and helpful as were the participants in the classes I visited. I was pleased that everyone took the time to make sure I arrived in the right area of the club for my class and made sure I had the “equipment” I needed. The classes were fun and hard work. I loved it so much I joined!

Fantastic experience: I have been at this club for 18 months and it has been a wonderful experience. Growing in Spain and living in other countries (Germany and Italy) and other US cities like New York, I had the opportunity of enjoying excellent gyms. I can honestly say that Athletic Club has been the best so far. Place is clean, machines are new, tennis courts are in great condition, and all members of the staff are awesome. Crossfit coaches and members are like family. My children like to stay at the daycare or maze while my wife and I are working out. Always able to find go deals at the pro-shop.

Fantastic experience: Very good facility and professional staff. They provided initial assessment at the time of enrollment. Good workout equipment. I lost more lbs then what I aimed for for just making few changes in my workout by introducing resistance training (no trainer input). Variety of equipment available to introduce workout variation in your routine. I have not tried group exercises, which I can live without using them.
