I do not recommend! A month after I canceled my membership, confirmed by Grizzly staff, I received notice my cancelation did not go through and I owed another full months dues before they could cancel me. Grizzly staff contradicted themselves twice. This is typical of lower 48 fitness clubs that put $$ before customers. My primary reason for joining was for the Sauna which had no thermometer and took for ever to heat up and pickleball which was delayed for weeks due to basketball. Hope this helps others think twice.

No reasonable month to month option, there’s a $500 enrollment fee so if you’re only doing a few months it’ll come out to be insanely expensive. Too bad.

Grizzly is THE family gym to be at here in the Valley!! Classes for all ages, all abilities, at several different times of the day. There are opportunities to save money by challenges, referrals, and sales! Come, introduce yourself, be welcomed and loved on, and….. share of yourself with others. You have much to give, and we want to get to know you.

I joined Grizzly Family Fitness three years ago hoping to find a welcoming place that not only allowed me to pursue my fitness goals but also fostered a community of which I could be a part. I only knew a few instructors and members at the time. I started with CrossFit (5:30 am!! Let’s go!!) as a complete rookie, and although my skills and strength were small - the instructors and classmates were encouraging, helpful, and supportive. We may tease each other, but we also cheer loudly for each other. I expanded to Zumba, high fitness, cycling, running, yoga, and other classes and found friends, challenging workouts, and fun! And then I found pickleball - so much fun!! No community is perfect nor entirely drama free, but the reason I keep coming back is because I found a place full of friends that feel like family and a community that helps and encourages me to chase my fitness dreams.

I love this place! From the day I walked in, I've always felt welcome. All of the coaches are amazing, and they work with me to help me progress from where I'm at. CrossFit is something EVERYONE can do, no matter where you're at in your fitness journey. (And if you've seen the 70s movie "Kelly's Heroes", Coach Jonas is basically Oddball with a manbun - have a little faith in yourself, but no negative waves😂) Special shout-out to him and Coach Amanda for helping me not only get started with CrossFit, but encouraging me every step of the way!💜 I've never felt so welcome anywhere before...especially as someone who's obese. But with GFF, I both feel that way AND genuinely enjoy attending classes 6 days a week (because there's none on Sundays). That's such an amazing thing to me. I even get out of bed early to go to the gym! And as anyone in my family will tell you, that's a miraculous feat since it usually takes a crowbar to pry me out of my coffin before noon.
In short, GFF is a gem of a place. Not only is the sense of community top-notch, the staff are friendly, warm, always willing to answer any questions and never try to brush you off or make you feel like you're inconveniencing them. I only wish that it had a fitness pool and/or jacuzzi; I feel like that would be a great benefit, especially for we CrossFitters and the large senior community there. It would also provide another exercise option. But even without that, this is hands-down the best gym ever! They even let you do a free 14-day trial to see if it's a good fit for you or not. If you're on the fence and looking for a new gym to call home, I can't recommend Grizzly Family Fitness enough!

I have two friends wanting to join the gym once school starts. Unfortunately, I can no longer recommend Grizzly Family to them with the new childcare policy, as they both have young children that would need childcare and the new system is a nightmare. I cannot recommend paying $300 a month for something that is not family friendly, and would result in them working out with their kids alongside them because “there’s no space”…which is what they can do at home for free. You cannot raise rates so astronomically and provide crappier service. We love the childcare workers themselves; the reservation policy is ridiculous. Perhaps Grizzly FAMILY Fitness needs to have a young mama on the decision making board, as the current decisions are being made by people who have forgotten what it’s like to be a parent of littles. 15 minutes late for your reservation- your reservation is canceled… perhaps management should take a few young kiddos and babies on errands or to their workout out at the gym and see if they’re on time everywhere and able to get a quality workout in. This decision is taking the “family” out of Grizzly Family Fitness and will result in many of us leaving. Childcare is why we are here- if we are unable to have access to it we can go to Planet Fitness or even the Alaska Club for that matter for much cheaper.

I joined this gym after asking multiple times if there were flexible membership options, as my work and life schedule were unpredictable. I ended up having to relocate back to Anchorage with my son, and as a single mother, I reached out asking for some understanding regarding my contract.
Unfortunately, I never received a return call, and despite several attempts to contact them, I’ve gotten no response from management. It’s disappointing — especially from a business that promotes itself as “family-oriented.” Instead of offering support or flexibility, they’ve continued to enforce the contract with no willingness to work with me.

Wish I was able to see the gym. Stopped by for a tour and was dissatisfied with the tour protocol. I understand showing an ID (in case of theft or injury) and leaving an email (for follow-up/marketing) but they requested too much information. They basically want you to fill out an entire application packet including credit card info just for a tour. It made me very uneasy and I felt that I would be trapped in a contract before I even knew what hit me. I was partially through the paperwork and just erased it and left. I’ve never seen a club/gym do that. It wasn’t welcoming.

Great if you are into basketball. Mediocre for anything else. Staff is friendly and great for the most part. Classes (except CrossFit) are inconsistent and coaches are late or cancel without notification. The mismatched hodgepodge of weights in the weight room is frustrating to train with. Also membership should give you access to all gym services, things like tanning or in body shouldn’t be an additional charge.

We were signed up for Basketball training somehow (without my verbal or written consent). We were charged for 3 months before I realized what was happening. Kevin (with the training group) could even tell that there was something wrong with the "contract" they had on file and that is why he called me. I went into the gym to get a copy of this "contract," and even the front desk person could not locate it. I was later emailed a copy by KayLynn. Firstly, the contract dates expired before they even started charging me on one of them. Secondly, the guardians name is nowhere listed on either of the contracts. It shows that a 5 yr old and a 14 yr old signed their own contracts for this service with a squiggly line. I have contacted multiple people to try and resolve this through phone calls and emails. The Manager of the gym, Mark, will not return an email or a phone call. They are NOT listed on the BBB website to file a complaint. There are 4 separate reasons (aside from the fact that I never signed them up for this service) that the contract is invalid and fraudulent. Be careful trying to sign up for this gym. If there is ever an issue you will not receive help trying to correct it. I have filed complaints with my bank now and have also sent letters to the Division of Corporations, Business and Professional Licensing as well as the Regulatory Commision of AK. All I was asking for was a returned call or email from the Manager to go over my concerns and to come up with a resolution. I have been trying to deal with this for 30 days.

If you’re looking for a place to play basketball, you will not find a better facility in the state. And it’s not close!
Grizzly fitness is incredible, and I am so thankful for its existence.
I know it doesn’t have the world’s most sophisticated weight room and such, but the basketball and overall family friendly atmosphere is unmatched and I recommend Grizzly to any & everyone

The facility is great. Nice and clean. Good equipment. Sadly I had to get rid of my membership because of personal issues. Fast forward to me taking my 3 year old son to soccer. Loved it. Was teaching him so much about listening and moving his body and interacting with peers. Signed up for a second session with the same instructor and she was there for the first week and then took off on vacation (excited for her how fun!) the sub coach was not up to par. While she was pleasant, her exercises were not catered for 3 and 4 year olds. She got snarky when my son would run around and not listen (he just turned 3 in December) I would be on the gym floor with him but also had to return to look after my baby.
I contacted the front desk twice to basically, politely ask to just have a credit for when his original coach returns. Nope. You cannot have a refund or credit. Contacted the general manager and was told I could have a refund but not to enroll my son in the program again because he would have the same issues. He did NOT have this issue before. Every so often with a new coach is fine but the same bad fit for a complete session is not ok. This is a small community and the location was very convenient for me and my kids. I would add that I witnessed 3 other children’s sit on the bleachers due to boredom.
In the end, it’s my son is the one that loses out. Thanks Grizzly for looking after the younger community

There are cheaper gyms out there, and you can have a lower quality experience if you pay for a lesser gym. If that’s not what you want, go to Grizzly Fitness!

Grizzly Family Fitness is the place to work out if you want state-of-the-art equipment, fun exercise classes, enthusiastic instructors, and a place to meet friends and bring the family.
Friendly staff, a quality nursery, and opportunities abound to either try something new or do your own thing. I've been a member for 14 years and can't imagine going anywhere else. Clean, bright locker rooms, a sauna, indoor track, free weights as well as machines, a cardio room, cycling, basketball, high intensity interval classes, CrossFit, and group exercise classes for all ages from Tumble Buddies to Seniors. Whether you need a place to continue your fitness routine or are brand new to exercise, or somewhere in between, Grizzly offers the best of the Valley's instructors, trainers, and equipment to help you reach your goals!

After my family and I being members to this gym for eight years, we came to the conclusion that this is the best gym for all families. GFF has really improved over the last few years. There is something for everybody, yoga, CrossFit, basketball, volleyball, as many weights and weightlifting machines you could ever need, plenty of cardio availability, tanning, childcare, and lots more opportunities to get your fitness on. If you’re not feeling like getting your fitness on they have saunas, a neighboring business that offers massages with a discount if you are a member, lots of areas to stretch and lots of utilities to aid in recovery and relaxation.
All of the staff and members care greatly about the quality of the gym. All in all GFF is a great gym. I would recommend becoming a part of the grizzly family.

Clean facility, great staff, and family friendly. I love this place, and feel no judgment when working out. People usually comment on your form, or help you correct something you’re doing wrong, which helps new gym rats. Can be louder on weekends with Basketball games, but headphones help a lot.

We particularly love the CrossFit box and that community within the gym.

I can’t say enough good about GFF. I’ve been to many, many fitness facilities over the years, and none of them compare to Grizzly. Seeing my kids love the kids programs, knowing the kids coaches are excellent — it’s a great place with really quality programs because they have such quality people. But selfishly, what that means for me is that I get to get my workouts in without worrying. I not sure a more family-friendly fitness facility exists. I highly recommend Grizzly!

This facility offers so much for everyone in my family! We couldn’t love the place more. My kids absolutely LOVE the kids classes and programs. It’s definitely the best jogging track anywhere around, the variation in training settings and equipment for every style is remarkable. This facility offers more to my family than any mega-gym we ever experienced in the lower 48. But despite all that, the best part is the still the staff. You can find equipment and weights many places; this place is special because managers Mark and Leslie love the people and love the community—and it’s obvious. The culture is great, there isn’t a person on staff that isn’t warm, friendly and genuinely wants to give anyone who walks in the door a great experience.
I’m grateful this place is here, because as a parent though I can workout anywhere with equipment — if you know your kids are with coaches that love them, doing a kids class they love. Well, if you’re a parent, you know. Total game-changer! If you’re trying to get back in the groove and lose weight or get back in shape, you’ve got to come try Grizzly for a few days!!

We checked this gym out for the first time today. I've been to a lot of gyms, such as Golds Gym in LA, LA Fitness frequently in California, most in Alaska, and a few on the east coast. I feel pretty good about giving this gym a 5 star. They have everything I needed. The locker rooms are spacious and clean, sauna is available to use if desired, enough cardio equipment to get the job done - most gyms do not have 2 stairmasters so good on them, cardio machines are appropriately facing towards the windows for the view outside or towards the TV for maximum privacy, separated rooms for different purposes - weight room and a separate section for leg machines, nice indoor track outlooking the basketball courts (aired up basketballs available if needed but able to bring your own), multiple fitness classes offered, water foundations have a add on to fill up your water bottle which it's simple but strongly appreciated, good location, simple parking lot, kind front administrative staff that I've met so far, tanning as a option with upgrade, den child care available during specific times- really like the location being close to the track and weight rooms, turf area with weights you can push or pull with boxes to jump on too, crossfit area and classes available with ultimate package.
What people need to understand is that for the price you are getting, you are getting a very good deal for the variety. Yes, it does not have a pool but what is offered would be very difficult to find in the lower 48s. Crossfit gyms are normally separated and cost 150 to 200 a month regardless. Yes the weight room isn't "huge" but it has everything you truly need. Enough free weights are there. You just have to be creative on how you spend your time when working out, esp. if busy. This really is a good deal and yes, there's a one time fee but I'm happy to hear it's waived if you pay the yearly cost upfront. I know not everyone can afford that but for those that can, it's nice to have that waived.
Now my only hope is for childcare to be offered for a limited time frame on Sunday. But I know it's probably because not a lot of people work out with kids on Sundays. It's a personal preference request as I'd like to work out on Sundays and not struggle to find childcare else where on a Sunday but this does not defer me from liking everything else this gym offers.
I used to be very active into strength conditioning/fitness and being out of it for a few years, I was feeling pretty hesitant going back into a gym but today was a good day. They made it easy there for me despite being out of shape.
Thank you.

I am thrilled to have been a member of GFF/MTA sports center for years now and it just keeps getting better for me here!! Some of the things I absolutely love is...
1. A variety of activities they have for kids and adults
2. The small, friendly community feel where people will smile and say hi back when you greet them.
3. LOTS of space to exercise (5 full sized nice basketball courts, a running track, free weights, weight machines, cardio machines, and fitness classes for kids and adults. I rarely feel crowded when trying to exercise (except maybe 5:30 to 6:30pm) but overall lots of space and friendly faces.
I’m a dad with a wife and 2 kids, 3 years and 6 years old respectively. The childcare workers really seem to care about my kids which is SOOOOOO important for me, and there are programs to keep them fit and healthy, having fun with friends so they stay healthy and socially connected, which is always valuable, but even more necessary during this crazy 2020 year. GFF delivers that.
The owners care about quality offered for their members and the staff they hire exhibit their care as well. Whenever I text about a machine or concern (which they have posters encouraging us to do) they quickly address it while I am still there at the gym, usually within about 10-20 minutes.
If you have kids and need to exercise while they are being taken care of while you take care of yourself, GFF is a fantastic option. If you are a sports enthusiast, this is a good place for you. If you love group classes, GFF has them for you. That’s why this is my my favorite gym in the valley. Different people have different needs but this one meets the needs of my whole family and I am crazy about this gym and so thankful they are open 7 days a week for us!!

This is one of the best experiences I have had in a gym! Each step in the application process was so personal and the members really pulled me into what felt like their Grizzly community. The facility is impressive and I play competitive basketball 3 times a week now. Connection is important in times like these and Grizzly Family Fitness has provided that for people of all abilities. Thank you!

This place is very special. It is a great place to work out, I enjoy playing basketball with an incredibly accepting group of adults and what a great joy to watch all of the young kids be active and learn to play.

The members and staff of Grizzly Family Fitness are more than just people who work and attend the sports center. Some have been there since the day of opening 12 years ago and call this place home. For this reason, they go above and beyond caring for their members. This includes creating a clean and friendly place while you are in the facility, but also taking an interest in their members as they do life beyond their walls. As in a family, there are activities and events that include everyone! From those who want a relaxed activity to those seeking a serious workout, Grizzly Family. Fitness values all who walk through their doors.

Grizzly Family Fitness is the cleanest gym I have ever been inside of. The staff is always friendly, and they go out of their way to make every visit a good one. They also have more activities for kids than any facility out there. If you have a family, and are looking for a gym to call home, I definitely recommend Grizzly Family Fitness.

This is by far the best gym I have ever been too! The facility is huge. There are so many different things offered at Grizzly Family Fitness. But, this gym is more than just a facility to workout in, the community offered at Grizzly Family Fitness is unmatched. Get involved in Yoga, CrossFit, Open Gym, Personal Training, or any of the other activities offered, and I promise it will be the best decision you could have made for yourself!

Grizzly Family Fitness is legitimately one of the best family-oriented establishments that I know of. They are constantly looking for ways to improve experiences for families and individuals. The place is immaculately well taken care of. They are clean, courteous, friendly, and fair in pricing. They offer all kinds of activities, and they have just about any fitness activity/opportunity that you might want. A track, on-demand, aerobics, Zumba, yoga, basketball, team and partners sports, weights, machines, and also child care. Lots more, but you ask them for a tour and you can see it all. Well worth a trip!

My family and I have been members since it opened. It is a perfect gym for the whole family. There is a class or activity for everyone. I personally enjoy the CrossFit box and the indoor track. Having the open gym access with my Premium Membership makes it the only CrossFit box in town with such a benefit. I really appreciate the cleanliness and locker room facilities. It makes it very easy to get an early morning or lunch time workout in, yet get cleaned up before heading back to work.

I was roped into coming a few months after the gym opened 11 years ago and man am I glad I have persuasive friends . I have had nothing but positive experiences here. The addition of CrossFit in 2014 brought a new level of fitness to my regime which I love! The indoor track is such a bonus especially come winter when running the trails is on hold. If your looking for a place that has everything then this is your place!!

I've been incredibly happy with Grizzly Family Fitness! I first came here in middle school to participate in the Homeschool PE program. It's been about 8 years since then, and I'm still coming back! I love exercise and fitness, and between the PE class, and now that I've outgrown that, the CrossFit classes, and other aspects of the facility the gym has provided, I've continued to have a a great time! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place to exercise, learn, and have a great time!

Grizzly Family Fitness is the best facility for the entire family! They really do have something for everyone. Plenty of Cardio Equipment and Machines and the Weight Room has upgraded from years ago.
The Group Fitness classes are great and the instructors bring the heat to every class! (Vanessa and Lindsey are my favorite) The CrossFit program is awesome as well if that’s something you’re looking for!
They offer a lot of options for kids as well and the courts are almost always available. They also gave a great daycare if you need it.
I’ve been a member since they first opened back in 2008 and the entire facility is cleaner and operating better than I have ever seen it!

I’ve been a member of Grizzly Family Fitness for a long time and I couldn’t be happier. The building is always clean, the equipment is up-to-date and the staff are always kind and helpful! If you’re looking for a FAMILY oriented fitness option, you can’t beat GFF! There are programs and classes for the kids and adults alike. CrossFit, yoga, cycling and other health classes are available, but most people don’t know that there are after school programs for kids, youth basketball, pickle ball, cornhole leagues and way more!
I can’t say it enough, GFF is the only place to have a membership in the valley! 5 Stars ALL THE WAY!

Way more expensive then MTA. Not at all military friendly like MTA used to be.
No military discount, but month to month, if you choose, but they nail you with a $399 yearly enrollment fee!! And $70 extra for childcare.

Our family has been a part of this gym since the first year it opened up, with Valley Youth basketball. As a member for 11 years now, I can truly say I love this Gem of a gym! I have always enjoyed the daily group workout classes. I’ve made connections with the professional and amazing instructors who have always made me feel at home, and I have made friends to last a lifetime. The facility itself meets all our needs as a family with 6 kids - from basketball, track, daily classes, personal workouts and homeschool applications, basketball programs, tumble buddies etc. Grizzly Family Fitness truly does feel like a “family” and we are thankful for it!

Grizzly Family Fitness is a locally owned gym that strives to serve it’s community with the best possible service that you can get at a fitness center. From all of the different classes, tanning, The Place, the 5 basketball courts, and workout areas there is something for everyone! There is a fantastic childcare room there and a few kids classes are offered for different age groups. Personal training is offered through Fearless Fitness/ Brady Dale. The facility is huge and doesn’t have that claustrophobic, packed gym feeling, which is so nice right now especially. There’s also a brand new pickleball court outside. And, the staff there are all awesome and so helpful! If you haven’t been to GFF yet you need to stop in and check it out!!

Not perfect, but is our gym of choice. Always clean and the indoor track is awesome. The price for premium is too steep unless you are into CrossFit, but the normal membership has enough perks to be a better deal than the competition. With YMCA coming, I am hoping MTA will add a pool.

- Staff is always friendly, even at 5AM
- Wide variety of modern equipment
- Membership fee reasonable
- Something for everyone of every age (unless you need a pool)
- Patrons are 100% NONjudgemental!
- Clean facility
- Ample, well lit parking
Would like to see option for tanning booth to charge by minutes Vs session, or a reduced 5 minutes or less session/increased 6+ minute session fee. Might use it more year round if so.

By far the best gym in the Valley. I was a member of the Alaska club for 2 years and recently made the switch and I am so happy I did! My biggest regret was not joining sooner. My 3 year olds love the tumble buddies classes and bounce house days, and the daycare is awesome for my baby. It is kept super clean and all the workers are very attentive and caring. As for me CrossFit has been amazing and I love their barre and cycle classes. This place is truly a hidden gem. The staff is all super friendly. Couldn’t recommend this gym enough!

All and all I love this place its active and fun. Has all the equipment I need to get a good workout. The equipment is good and up kept very well. Love that I have courts with various activities to do. My real sole complaint honestly may not be big to some but is very frustrating to me is when there are games (which there will be it's part of what I like about the place) they dont upkeep little kids from clogging up the running track. This may not seem that big but it's very annoying to work out with kids running around with mo parents in sight... just a little segregation between activities and workouts is what's needed and a monitor to keep the rules straight. That way people working out can without disruption and people for activities can have clear outlines on where they can and cant be. Again that is only complaint and it's not all the time I do love this place

It is a nice facility, pretty spacious and priced reasonably. The only draw back is the weight room. It's very small, kind of cramped and if you are seriously into weight lifting you are at a disadvantage. They do not have important weights/machines. It would be perfect if they were able to expand that area. Unfortunately, it seems more of a cardio only gym. Maybe they have plans in the future....
