About
The Alaska Club Summit Luxury Gym, located in Anchorage, AK, is a premier fitness center offering a high-end, resort-style experience. It features state-of-the-art fitness equipment, a diverse range of group exercise classes, personal training, and spa services. The facility also boasts comprehensive aquatic amenities, including a saltwater lap pool, a warm water therapy pool, and a whirlpool, catering to both intense workouts and relaxation.
The main saltwater lap pool at The Alaska Club Summit is typically maintained at a comfortable 80-82°F (26.6-27.7°C). For therapeutic use, the warm water therapy pool is generally kept warmer, around 90-92°F (32.2-33.3°C).

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The Summit receives mixed reviews, with some members praising its "country club feel," modern luxury amenities, updated equipment, and excellent aquatic facilities, often highlighting a clean environment and attentive staff like Eric, Nick, and Jerod. However, a significant portion of feedback expresses disappointment and a feeling of deception. Key complaints include the unavailability of promised Platinum Plus perks such as massages and facials due to staffing shortages and limited hours. Members reported issues with rude or unhelpful staff, a lack of clear onboarding instructions for facility access, and poor enforcement of rules, especially regarding loud patrons and the use of strong oils/creams in saunas and steam rooms. Other criticisms involve older equipment in some areas, cleanliness issues in showers, spotty WiFi, the inconvenience of needing multiple apps for cardio machines, and a perception that the high cost is not justified by an experience that falls short of an "elite" facility.

I just joined summit about 2 weeks ago but i feel somewhat deceived. You cant get a massage or a facial at any location no matter they say about the perks of platinum plus. It closes early and staff is not always available and you still end up having to use the family side. I was expecting more updated equipment and tvs and for them toexplain how things work after you join to be able to get in the doors. The short latino guy on this side is so indifferent in helping you even though when he's standing there not doing anything. He always has an attitude for no reason and it makes me not want to come here. They didn't explain how difficult it would be to set up the hand thing To get in the secret door or to get your barcode card. Then when i was asking questions about it the guy acted like i was just this stupid person. He also talks to his coworkers like this or just ignores them when they need help. It's sad to watch. Maybe he is related to someone and thats why they let him act like this. I think they should let the more nicer people work this side and he can be on the other side of the facility that is more wils and open. The women yell and shout in different languages all while you're trying to relax in the sauna and steam room and hot tub. They also bring all of their body oils and face creams into these rooms and the eucalyptus oils and this stuff they use suffocates you in the steam room and sauna. Noone enforces this or keeps these women from doing this. It seems they don't say anything because some of the staff appear to be related to these women that are doing this. Even though its mostly older women here they dont clean up after themselves and there doesnt appear to be cleaning staff so hair and other things are always in the showers and they never have the body wash bottles filled up. It's alot of money to pay to feel like a college dorm or a ymca. I thought got was supposed to be elite. You have to get multiple apps just to use the cardio equipment if you want to watch or listen to anything. The wifi is so spotty it distracts from the workout because you have To keep moving your phone around. I like the snacks and drinks and the sauna and hot tub and large full towels. But it's an old place and theyneed to upgrade the equipment. You shouldn't have to lose weight first to fit on the weightmachines or need a manual. They should extend the hours and bring in actual facial and massage ppl who can work everyday and past 3pm and on weekends. That's a big part of why i joined but they sit there and let you sign knowing they dont have any staff. They have no appts available. Even the personal trainer is hard to reach. They don't have to lie. I like that is 21 up but the could add some tvs and enforce the rules about the oils and creams in the sauna and steam rooms and treating it like a community center.

I scheduled a massage several weeks in advance, arranged childcare, and then received a call the day of my appointment that the therapist had called out. No same-day alternatives were offered, and securing a babysitter was extremely difficult. Despite the inconvenience, the Summit did not offer any discounts for a future appointment. Very disappointing experience. The Summit is NOT member-friendly or family-friendly. Would not recommend

With Fall and winter weather soon approaching, getting more time in the gym is a must and thats exactly what we like about the flexibility of time slots available at the Summitt. My kids especially enjoy meeting up with friends and getting a great workout utilizing the basketball court.

This over 21 gym has all the modern luxury amenities and equipment you need for full spa like relaxation after a full body workout. The night managers Nick and Jerod are always hustling and keep things tip top. Fully recommended

I belong to many country clubs throughout the US and this is the epitome of the country club feel. I'm greeted with a warm greeting every time, Eric at the front desk is fabulous. Their janitorial team is always in the locker room tidying up refreshing the amenities. The facility is always clean, bright and inviting. The equipment selection is updated and has a little bit of everything, and if there's a specialty machine you were looking for the South Club is 45 seconds down the hallway, and did I mention it comes with a world class aquatic facility that the kids absolutely love!
