About the Club

In an industry dominated by franchise and national brands, Columbia Athletic Clubs is a rarity. Operating since 1981, we are a locally owned and operated family business with generations of success. At its core, it is this culture of service, community and family that sets Columbia Athletic Clubs apart; and it all starts from the personal commitment, vision and values of Cy Oskoui. Cy came to America in the 1960s to complete his undergraduate studies at Utah State University and graduate studies at the University of Oregon. In 1978, Cy left the support of his extended family and immigrated to America with his wife, Feryal, daughter Farnaz and son Allen to pursue the American dream. In 1980 Cy chose to open the first Club in Kirkland.

Great athletic and tennis club! I signed up my kids for tennis lessons with coach Erick. He is a great tennis coach! I really like his approach, very patient, professional, passionate and supportive. Erick has a great technical skills as a tennis professional. Since my kids started tennis lessons with Erick their technique improved a lot, their mental approach to the game is also improving very fast in very young age! Overall we are very happy and recommend coach Erick!

Eric is a great tennis coach, I have improved a lot since I began lessons with him. We have been working on everything from footwork to serves. he is also a really nice guy and is very supportive and passionate about what he does. The courts that they have at Columbia are also really nice and indoors, they also have outdoor options. Overall, if your looking for a tennis coach, you should pick Eric.

Erick is a fantastic tennis coach—very knowledgeable, patient, and great at breaking down techniques for the kids. Only downside is that availability can sometimes be limited due to court time allotment. Otherwise, highly recommend coach Erick.

Our daughter has been learning tennis here for a year and gets coached by Coach Erick. Frankly, Erick is the BEST coach ive ever seen and he is so good with the kids. He teaches them basics, the core techniques, is super nice and patient with the kids of all ages. My only hope would be Erick can get more court time to teach the kids even more, the kids really benefit from his coaching and experience. Columbia is lucky to have him as a coach.

5 stars for the swim lessons! We're beyond thrilled with the swim lessons at Columbia Athletic Club at Silver Lake! Our three kids have been part of this program off and on for over 2 years, and they've absolutely loved it. The coaches excel at building confidence and comfort in the water, all while keeping it fun and engaging - our kids can't wait to come back each week! We've witnessed remarkable progress and growth in their confidence and skill, thanks to our coaches' caring and tailored approach to our kids' needs. The club is clean, friendly, and the staff is great! This program has been a total game-changer for our family - we're so grateful!

Do not bring your children here for swim lessons. I want to be very clear. The swim lessons for children are a complete scam. We spent more than 2 months trying to get a swim lessons. The instructor canceled at the last minute, flaked out numerous times, and forgot during an actual lesson she was giving a lesson. And yet we were charged each week. We complained and nothing changed for weeks. We will make it our life’s mission now to spread the word how horribly we were scammed. They think they got the best of us, but we will bring down this program one review at at time.

If you’re a tennis player, one star. You get one advanced booking for the entire week that can only go out seven days. This whole winter they have all the evening weekend spots booked with usta before you can even make a reservation. They showed where their priorities are.

Coach Erick is phenomenal. My 7 year old daughter has been having lessons with him and we are very happy with his lessons. Coach Erick is always encouraging and positive with smiles and also very good at demonstrating a correct posture. We love his detailed teaching method and his comments about what she can improve. I highly recommend him for all level students.

We have been members at this place for several years. Our children have and continue to have very positive experiences with the swimming program. Our older child is presently swimming with their HS conditioning group. It’s a year-round co-ed non-competitive team of high school swimmers. I love that it gives them consistency in exercise and positive engagement with like-minded teammates. The instructors are certified swimming coaches and genuinely have a love for swimming. My younger child enjoys her private lessons thoroughly. Non-members can participate in their swimming program. Members get a slight discount. I highly recommend this program if you are shopping around for swimming lessons.

Alex is the "complete package" as a fitness trainer. He combines extensive fitness knowledge with a personable approach, genuinely caring about the success of his clients, no matter their age or fitness level. As a busy mom of three, I was initially skeptical that a younger male trainer could understand my goals, but I was proven wrong. Alex has been an incredible asset to my fitness journey.

I’m thrilled to be a part of the IMPACT training sessions at Columbia Athletics Club! The program offers a fantastic variety of classes, from stretching and mobility to boxing, making every workout unique and tailored to my needs. The trainers are exceptional, bringing not only great knowledge but also a positive attitude, and they excel at adjusting the sessions to meet individual goals. The overall experience at the club has been outstanding, with a welcoming and supportive staff and all the facilities you could ask for. Joining Columbia Athletics Club has been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness journey!

My grandchildren have been swimming on the high school team since September 2024. I am very impressed with both Columbia Athletic Club as well as Erin, the coach of the high school team

The pool, pool deck, dressing room and showers are very clean. The staff is incredibly friendly. Erin, is a great combination of a tough coach and someone who praises efforts when they are due and give correction advice if a kick, for example, isn't legal. Their fellow swimmers are kind and cheer each other on during practice races.

I am so thankful my grandchildren are swimming at Comumbia!!

Where do I start? I have nothing bad to say about Columbia Athletic Club. Erin, the main coach for high school conditioning swim team, is phenomenal! My kids are not high schoolers but were encouraged to join the high school team. Their skills have improved with Erin's expertise and guidance. The front desk staff, especially Tom, is so welcoming and down to earth. Everything is clean and we are so impressed with their swim program and overall care and responsiveness from the staff. Thank you Erin and team for your coaching and enthusiasm!

Columbia Athletic Club has been a great, overall place for me. I enjoy Tennis but also use the Gym. Recently, I have joined up with personal trainer Alex Taluc to make my body stronger and to avoid injury while playing Tennis. He has been great as I am a total beginner. He has the patience and created the right workout schedule for me. He is also very realistic with your personal goals and very engaging. I am thrilled with the results so far! I highly recommend this club for Tennis and gym activities. The staff is wonderful and accommodating.

Columbia Silverlake’s tennis program has been an excellent experience for our family and has helped our 7 year old develop a love for tennis. All coaches alike have so much patience, enthusiasm and expertise, and are able to create a fun and supportive environment. Even though the group classes are big, the coaches have a way to identify the needs of each child and help them develop. The team is also great at communicating with the parents. I would recommend Columbia tennis to anyone interested in a top notch program!

This is one of the best athletic clubs I've been a member of in 30 years of being an adult. The old Pac West in Eastgate will always hold that #1 slot. But this place is solid. Almost never waiting for the nice equipment and weight stations. anything. Staff is great. The new steam spa is nice. Sauna is as hot as research studies say creates the most benefits. And the extra cost keeps out the rift raft so there's always lockers available and not a lot clowns running their mouth or doing dumb stuff!!

We signed up membership for the family so we can use the pool. But most of the time, the pool lanes are reserved for swimming lessons. I feel the pools aren’t really setup for members, it’s mostly for swimming lessons. It’s a disappointment because I signed up membership for the pool. So if you r looking for a gym with pools so you can swim, I don’t recommend this one.

They will probably tell you they do have open pool times, but most of time, 2-3 lanes are still reserved for the lessons, which means there are only 1-2 lanes open for members to use, which means most of time you just don’t get to use them unless you r willing to share a lane for laps. 👎

Although I’m complaining, I’m still keeping my membership because there is no other pools near by my home, so I just have bear with this unfortunately (sharing lanes most of the time.)

Super flakey swim lessons, canceling last minute repeatedly. The lessons themselves are good so 1 extra star for that but the scheduling surrounding the lessons seem to be controlled by teenagers and isn't reliable.

This review is in regard to SWIMMING LESSONS at CAC.
I want to give 5 stars. The swim lessons themselves are 5 stars. We have seen tremendous improvement in my daughter’s swimming ability since starting at CAC. The instructor is great and we love our lessons.
My reason for two stars is the backend, administrative side of swim lessons. We came from the Snohomish Aquatic Center where everything is very automated and there’s an online scheduling system. At CAC once you get paired with an instructor, it’s all 1 on 1 communication with said instructor. There is a huge lack of communication when a reschedule needs to happen. I work in an industry where we use an online calendar/booking system and I don’t see why that wouldn’t work with swim lessons. My wish is that I could call the CAC front desk and they could tell me when our desired instructor has openings and I could rebook. Instead, I have to go by email where I often don’t get a response and end up having to miss a week of swim lessons. Automation seems simple enough and would be a huge improvement over the current system.

I tried out their trial period on a whim and I ended up loving this gym! I love the variety offered with the free classes, I occasionally swim, and the fitness room is always wide open. I like variety and get bored easily so all the amenities and options here are great for me. I don’t feel intimidated here either, and the front desk is always so friendly.

My husband and I love going here! Definitely worth the membership cost. Everyone is very kind and welcoming including the staff and members. Environment is clean and never too busy. Only critique is the temperature feels a little on the warm and humid side, leaving it smelling a little musty. But overall, highly recommend!

This is for people that use the pool, throughout the entire daytime up until 6 o'clock at night the pool is too crowded to use or they're having high school swimming where it's off-limits or they have children swim lessons and they have close the pool to everybody that pays lots of money to attend this place! Then they want extra money from you to use the outdoor pool!? Eight dollars to use the outdoor pool when you're already spending $160 for a membership?! I think this place needs to realize that they cannot close off the pool throughout the entire day most of the time for camps and classes during the week and expect people to just accept that, I am going to a fitness center routinely and most of the time not swimming because I'm not able to?!

This one’s for my hoopers , cool gym and all but if your trying to play basketball here at anytime of
the day , good luck, they always have camps or events going on in there and sometimes they don’t even put it on the gym schedule so you’ll show up thinking it’s not gonna be in use , yet there having a camp in there. They don’t even be using the whole gym I don’t get why they just can’t use half of it or even use the tennis courts for camps when they have a way bigger building. If your tryana play basketball id recommend going to LA fit or MUV. Other than that this gym is nice

This club has gone downhill.
Machines are loose and squeaky. Some broken for months. Trash on the floor is still there weeks later. Cafe is closed.

When I joined, I was told masks were MANDATORY everywhere except for in the pool “even during exercise”. However, every single time I’ve been there (many, many times), there’s been at least two members in the cardio or weight area huffing and puffing with no trace of a mask - as in, not even on their person. Staff comes and goes, but nothing is enforce. I find it highly irresponsible for a health centered club.
This used to be the place to go, but it’s now priced literally 6x’s higher than any of the other local places, and I struggle to see the value now.

Columbia provides a well-maintained, professional, and versatile facility that welcomes members of all ages to utilize. Cordell, an associate running the front was very pleasant and professional, helping me find my way around the club's facilities on my first visit. I personally enjoyed the wide variety of training equipment, from the athlete-specifics, machines, and free weights. Regan, a lifeguard by the pool was also very helpful in answering any questions I had about swimming techniques and added to the quality of my workout. If one finds a commercial gym's atmosphere too distracting/noisy/crowded, I highly suggest giving Columbia a try.

Great gym, horrible hours for Kids Club! I can only go to the gym when I have someone to watch my kid. They close the kids club at 1pm on weekends and 6pm on Fridays which are the only days I can come. I hope they see feedback and make the hours better.

My kids previously took lessons at Columbia. They pack in the students and the instructors are either overwhelmed or disinterested. They waste time playing jail or ‘hit your child with the ball’ so your child will have “fun”. Jessie seems nice until you share your concerns. Maybe he has pressures from corporate, but was dismissive and didn’t do much to improve the lessons experience.
My kids are now at Forest Crest Tennis Club in Mountlake Terrace. Excellent instructors and a great experience so far.

Was looking for a new gym and went in for a tour and pricing. The facility seemed very clean, well managed, and friendly. I loved the option of an indoor and outdoor pool. It didn't seem too busy while I was touring.

I didn't sign up only because it was out of my budget, although, I definitely feel like it is worth it.

This place has physical fitness for the whole family!! Swimming, yoga, physical fitness games for kids, and many different fitness classes are available to members. I was so excited to get my whole family over there, until i saw the price. I wish prices were cheaper because this is such an amazing thing. There should be more family fitness centers. Especially with how much it rains for nine months.
