About

Fitness center featuring a sauna, a steam room and an indoor heated pool.

While the Downtown Athletic Club is known to feature a heated indoor pool, specific details regarding its precise temperature are not readily available in public online sources. It is generally maintained for comfortable use.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? This gym receives mixed reviews, highlighting excellent equipment and staff, but also significant concerns regarding pricing and amenities. Members consistently praise the vast and modern selection of free weights and machines, along with the knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff. The community is generally described as welcoming and chill. However, many find the gym to be severely overpriced for the area, citing high monthly, joining, and yearly fees. A major recurring issue is the frequent unavailability or breakdown of key amenities such as the pool, hot tub, and jacuzzi, which many feel negates the high cost. Cleanliness is a contradictory point; some describe the gym as 'always clean,' while long-term patrons report persistent issues in specific areas like the deadlift/dumbbell and MMA rooms, noting a lack of accessible disinfectant supplies. A minor complaint also mentions loud heavy metal music being played at all hours. Other appreciated amenities include saunas (wet/dry/steam) and a women's-only private block when functional.

Way overpriced for being one of the few places in Mt Sterling. 2x as high monthly than Fusion fitness and 5x higher than planet fitness. Plus a $50 joining fee and yearly fee. Are the Hollywood elite going to be next to me? Very expensive for Mt Sterling, I'm sorry. Hot tub and pool would make it nice but hear they are often down and hardly open to use. Defeats the only reason for the overpriced gym.

It's a fine gym. I can not stand the heavy metal music played in there, piercing my ears. Especially at 3 a.m., and I'm the only one in there. Maybe that's why most other patrons wear earbuds.

I want to preface this by saying I love this gym and I still think it is one of the best in the area. However I have been coming here since I was 13, over half my life, and in all that time there is one major problem that has seemed to persist. Cleanliness. This gym has outstanding and modern equipment, a wet sauna a dry sauna and a jacuzzi (that albeit has been broken down for some time). With all that being said, it seems that signs would rather be hung and the responsibility for a clean gym be placed on its patrons. Patrons that don’t have access to disinfectant wipes or spray bottles. The front desk staff DO mop on a regular basis, but just the vinyl flooring walkway. Completely avoiding the deadlift/dumbbell area and the mma room. If this place kept up with its household chores, bar-none this would be a top gym in the state

Love this gym. Amazing selection of free weights and machines. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It's always clean!! I don't know all of the patrons, but the one's ive interacted with are super chill. The kids love the pool, and the sana and steam room is great for post workout. My wife enjoys the women's only private block. It's really a wonderful gym and a great resource for the community. Been a member for 10 years!
