The best facility and equipment in town, and the friendly staff really set them apart. I appreciate the work theyve put in to support my fitness goals!

The staff here is very friendly, equipment is well maintained, and the trainers that they have know what they are talking about (atleast for swimming). The pool is salt water and is well taken care off.

I have been a constant (Pool use) member since July 2020. CAC has really ensured during COVID masking, daily cleaning, as well as having knowledgeable friendly pool staff for any needs. I have lost a considerable amount of weight in a slow safe manner. This is a positive environment and I am excited to begin my personal training journey with CAC as well to lose my last stubborn pounds! Thank you CAC!

I love the gym the people there are very nice and helpful

This place has a great staff! Theres a trainer for all your needs and they are very knowledgeable. I took advantage of a Group on offer a few months ago and hooked.

I joined the Columbia Athletic Club in Kirkland in 1998. I had been running daily for a number of years prior to that but decided I needed a more balanced fitness program.The facility is very well managed, clean and all the equipment is high quality and up-to-date. The management and staff is friendly and very professional. The trainers and instructors are all first class.Available fitness activities include extensive weight training, cardio equipment, a new impact-training studio, group exercises and gravity & cycle studios. There is an aquatic center with a lap pool, family pool and hot tub. It also has a basketball gym, squash courts, a dry sauna and steam room.There is variety of personal and small group training.Youth activities include camps, sports classes, fitness training and a Kids Club.I did not join for any social reasons but over the years have made many friends.I highly recommend the Columbia Club. A five star facility deserves a five star rating *****

Fantastic experience with the salt water pools here! Blessed to be able to bring my cousin here for water therapy. They have a lift making it accessible for him, his physical therapist, and family members to get him into the water. They keep the pool at 96 degrees or warmer so its great for anyone dealing with aches and pains. As a prior member, after his injury, he was happy to come back and see the staff again. Well be back soon and would definitely recommend the facilities to others.

Great people that do their best to keep members safe and healthy..

Very friendly staff and gym members. They push a positive healthy environment. Youll be challenged and encouraged coming to this gym.

Nice community athletic club with adequate equipment and space. Not difficult to get a workout in during peak times either. Small basketball court (still two hoops) and many other rooms/courts to complete workouts if more space is needed. A little pricey, especially for an individual membership...

I love:1) never having to fight for equipment2) a group exercise room thats available anytime a class isnt in session3) cool temperatures that keep sweat to a minimum4) that once the front desk staff know you well, you dont have to show them your card5) towel service and water available in multiple places6) Julie, the Pilates and spin instructor7) a steam room that smells like eucalyptus and a remodeled sauna8) that the people who go here are genuinely friendly and will give you advice or tips if you ask!9) Sheridan and Nick at the front desk--theyre the best

Great club. Clean. Kind and helpful employees I’m disabled and I receive only the help I wish to have when I’m there. I’m allowed my dignity. Handicap assessable. Great place to work out.

Very clean, great spaces, well maintained equipment and great customer service.

Update:The management got back to us timely on the issue described below. We did get the price that we were promised initially. Would take half a star off for that, if was possible.As per gym itself, it is the best option for those who enjoy swimming. The pool is quite large. The gym is clean. There is a number of membership options. Overall it is great for water loving couples and families.I bought a flex pass, but I might upgrade after a while, because flex pass pretty much means that you have access to no classes, unless you are available during the day on weekday.Original Post:Membership services leave much to be desired. My husband and I walked in and were told that as Amazon employees we had discounted initiation fee on the flex time membership. We did the trial came back to sign up, turns out the Amazon discount only works for regular membership and were asked to pay $50 more than initially promised. When asked if it would be possible to switch from regular membership to flex time after, say, a month, I was first told yes, and then asked to call back tomorrow to confirm. Seriously? You guys charge premium prices for your membership and you cannot even provide resources for you staff members about what is actually possible? I think you should first of all empower your employees to make decisions and secondly stand behind their word, especially if the Amazon special initiation fee that we were promised is the same as the promotional initiation fee that you had for everyone just 2 days ago. I feel disappointed, cause I was ready to pay extra for a smaller club and more individualized treatment, but the process seems messy and I dont know if I can trust what your sales people tell me.The gym itself is good, but now I am leaning towards LA Fitness (which is significantly cheaper btw), just cause I am upset and dont want to encourage this confusing mess.

Read great reviews and made a decision to join the club with my family.Walked in with my wife and 2 kids ready to start first day 5/10/2018 evening.On enetering the club only the guys in the front desk were available. We were told the membership team was taking a client for a tour. Decided to wait. Almost an hour, asking the guys in front desk if still no one was available they told us, just know its expensive. No one is availble but even if they come just know its expensive and the people who come here are Microsoft employees and other big companies that at for their employeesWe loved the pitch. People can see bank account details, credit score and employer right when you they see your skin color or look at your dressing. Probably he wanted to say we dont host homeless people here. I know he might not represent the whole club but that experience was not worth putting my kids through another minute. I appreciated the info he gave us and we walked out. We know we will find a club where they dont judge your ability to pay by the skin color or dressing or at least that doesnt have that guy giving out towels.

Walking into CAC (as they call it) is like walking into a time machine. 40 years ago in 1976 my parents took me to a club called Racquetball World and this is the exact same club and they have done zero improvements. This place is WORN OUT and DIRTY. FAMILIES BEWARE, about the only good thing this place has is the pool, but dont try to use it with your kids. The pool is ALWAYS CLOSED to free swimming for private lessons. I pay OVER $300 dollars a month to use the pool a few times a month. I would drop off the kids to the childcare and workout but the CHILDCARE ROOM IS HORRIBLE. There is one good worker there Mrs. Pickles but if she is not on duty your child will be left with a 19 year old kid from Russia who hates being there and wants to let your child watch videos on his laptop Im not kidding. Oh yeah, and thats not included you have to pay for the kids of all ages being stuffed in one room so maybe your infant will get stepped on by a 12 year old or maybe not please enjoy your workout. The split level low ceiling gym, Oh My God. This place was an office building it has a 8 foot drop ceiling it is the most uninspiring gym ever, and the locker rooms are abysmal. There are 3 tiny shower stalls, 2 toilet stalls, the bathrooms can support a half this size but I get it, Washington has the worst gyms except for the more recently built corporate gyms, Golds Gym in Kirkland even more horrible bathroom at least they have a good Gym. But back to Columbia Athletic Club in Kirkland. Family Membership over 300 dollars per month, unusable childcare, pool is constantly blocked by private lessons during peak hours (Evenings and Weekends) and the lifeguards are Gestapo Child Police and the chemicals in the water are all over the charts, one day theyll be fine and the next day the chemicals are so strong you can barely breath and your eyes will sting an entire evening after swimming there even with goggles. The racquetball and squash courts are in such horrible disrepair the walls are marred with 30 years of ball markings and the hardwood dont meet the walls, big dusty gaps between the floors and walls. I hope this review helps free up some parking because during peak hours you may not be able to park your car. Again, very sympathetic to members because there is little choice for a family gym in Washington but trust me - THIS IS NOT A FAMILY GYM. They dress it up like that but its family hostile.

They will try to sneak in fees anywhere they can. Their corporate staff can be very rude. Absolutely no regard for customer service. There are other nicer clubs that would treat you as a customer better.

Ive been a member at CAC for a few years now, attending 3-5 times per week. Really a terrific find for the location and price. Lots of regulars who, for the most part, keep to themselves. Spread of ages and gender in attendence run the full gamut, which is refreshing, and I rarely have to wait to use anything at any time of the day. Staff is, for the most part, friendly and encouraging. Really feels like a part of the neighborhood and Im glad to be a part of the community there. I dont use the pool so cant speak to that.Id easily rate five stars if theyd invest a bit more in their equipment. Sure, everything gets the job done, but fitness equipment has really evolved and I dont feel CAC has kept up, and its not infrequent that I find a piece of equipment worn out to an extent that it affects my workout.

Our family has been members here for over 5 years, and all of our time at this accommodating albeit small gym has been good

My 2 kids learned a lot from here. It was well worth it.

Best gym ever! I almost went with la fitness but after being treated so horrificly by two very aggressive people at la fitness who spent an HOUR trying to aggress me into signing with them when I was there on there free trial just to check the place out, they were trying to force me to pay and join before even allowing me to set foot in the gym and make me feel horrible trapped and cornered- right as I was about to still go with them thinking they were the only local pool option, I found this place. It has TWO POOLS and TWO hot tubs! And I’m sad to see a couple comments of people having issues with sales employees here and even more disturbed one said there considering la fitness over that, those people are beyond aggressive and manipulative in a very inappropriate manner vs the people at this gym, and the other just gave me a bad vibe and the comments show there’s been violent issues over there and staff didn’t even care.If your looking for a safer friendlier environment with better stuff and a luxury hot tub, sauna and steam room and even cheap hydro massages ($5 a session atm!) come here instead.Im disabled and the pools the only way I can exercise with less pain, this is a much better option and worth the little price increase even though I’m very low income. Im glad I went with this gym instead of feeling aggressors unsafe and unwelcome at la Fitness. The pool was crowded and its got huge glass walls with people parking out front of it, so everyone can see into the pool area outside which made me more uncomfortable. They didn’t even care I was disabled and having trouble figuring out there gym looking for where to go to get into the pool room from the locker room and a towel and were extremely rude after they realized I needed to check there gym out before dropping almost $300 in bs fees! This gym I joined for only $90 at the time.. La fitness just ignored me afterwards and didn’t give me a tour or anything, this gym a nice lady working there took about 15-20min showing me around and there’s a slow but working lift there for disabled people that she rode with me and showed me around everywhere. She wasn’t aggressive with trying to sign me up either and not manipulative or hostile like la fitness and unlike them didn’t use a second employee to try to duel aggress me into signing over trying to use there own 4 day free trial to legitimately check there gym out.Long story short I highly recommend this gym over la fitness if you want to have a nicer experience and feel like your welcome and not trash if your even hesitant to sign the millisecond you walk in.

Great price...great value...great facility. Clean and always with equipment available. Been a member here and in Issaquah for at least a decade. They continue to upgrade equipment and facility.

Nice facility. Acceptable price. Friendly staff.

Waaaaay over priced. For $6 more than their locker rental, you can join two clubs within 1.8 miles of CAC.

Well maintained facilities so far

Great facility for families and kids.

Great environment and great stuff!

Excellent gym!

All equipment no wait friendly staff

Thank God
