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.

I love: 1) never having to fight for equipment 2) a group exercise room thats available anytime a class isnt in session 3) cool temperatures that keep sweat to a minimum 4) that once the front desk staff know you well, you dont have to show them your card 5) towel service and water available in multiple places 6) Julie, the Pilates and spin instructor 7) a steam room that smells like eucalyptus and a remodeled sauna 8) 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

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...

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.

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.

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.

Lucy Brown

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