This gym is great! It’s 24 hours so super flexible with your schedule. The layout is great and there are so many options to choose from. I’ve never had to wait on a machine or weights. Everyone here is super friendly too. The facility itself is bad ass and super clean. Posing room is the cherry on top!

Love this gym, best in Anchorage. Always expanding always trying to progress in anyway possible, from events to equipment to trainers they have got it locked in. Give that man Wayne a pay raise that guy helped me out a ton suggesting some stretches for me after a hard month of running! Love the vibe 🤘🏽 Matt the owner truly cares about this place and that’s awesome to see. Can’t recommend enough 10/10
