The Alaska Club Wasilla

Positive experience: The Alaska Club in Wasilla is great place to workout. I feel like I am getting a much better experience since I got to start working with Shannon as a personal trainer, who has turned out to be a godsend. While my greatest interaction is with Shannon, every one working at the Wasilla Club has been extremely friendly and helpful. I only have a single negative issue that keeps me from giving them five stars is the frustration I experience I have with some of the equipment that stores personnel training programs that I use that have on more that one occasion I have not been able to login to.

Fantastic experience: Rewarding Fitness Experience; Good Local Management. When I joined, several years ago, I asked for a list of companies which supplemented or provided discounts for members. The staff provided me with a paper with over 50 companies (from Credit Unions to Hospitals to State Agencies) which, if affiliated, would discount a membership. Fitness can also be written off taxes if a doctor works with you to manage diabetes, heart issues, etc. Fitness can also be a prescription for mental health issues. I credit my continued fitness success to the Club manager, Cheyenne. I was ready to give up, yet she doesn't give up on me (or anyone else). Whether Cheyenne is in her office, or scrubbing walls, or mopping floors (she knows every square inch of the building), it is always a friendly "Hello" and "How are you doing?" The Wasilla Alaska Club has a very hardworking, keen, sharp, and intelligent manager. In my fitness journey, I've lost over 200 pounds. I did regain 100 pounds, yet thankfully some of that is muscle (which weighs more than fat).

Fantastic experience: Great facility, kind and caring staff. Lots of great weightlifting and cardio equipment. I enjoy the sauna and the steam room when time allows. On the weekends I am still able to get a workout in if I bring my kids to the family exercise room which is usually empty. Occasionally finish up with a swim in the pool and soak in the hot tub.
