So much more than a gym. The Athletic Club community is so supportive. The staff and facilities are in a class of their own.

The club does a great job keeping up with fitness/exercise trends. They do a great job keeping all equipment in good working order. They are quick to repair a broken machine, even if its just a torn seat cushion or other pad on the machine.

The LRAC is a very inclusive community with a wide variety of people. It doesnt feel like your typical gym. I love that there are areas to rest, do school work, and socialize. This encourages members to stay a while and form relationships to build a community. In the short time Ive attended, Ive formed some great friendships with people to encourage me on my health journey. The facility is spotless and the machines are well maintained. The expansive selection of fitness classes makes it easy for me to find something to fit my needs and level of fitness. What I have been most impressed by is the class instructors. Even though they are teaching a group, they still get around to individuals (like me) who need help with proper form. (They purposely keep classes small, which helps maintain a high level of quality instruction and safety.) As someone who gets injured easily, this has been so helpful. The instructors make me want to keep coming back for more!

This place has gone down so much over the past year. No employee knows what’s going on. I have asked simple questions like “what time does the kids’ area open” or “when does the tournament start” and no one knows the answer. To make it worse, there isn’t any attempt to find the answer and follow up. I just learned that the indoor tennis courts will be closed for 2 weeks for resurfacing; that’s great but they are still charging full monthly fee. Seriously considering closing my family membership.

The facilities are always clean, machines are the newest in the market and work. Pools are perfect temperature. Employees are more like friends. You get what you pay for. Very seldom do expectations and dollars meet, it does here

Excellent place for fitness and childcare as needed. Also good for those who need “social hour.” Highly recommend!

A very clean and family friendly environment with equipment and activities for all ages and fitness levels. No body shaming, just people looking to live a healthy lifestyle. Amenities include fitness classes, sauna, pool, racquetball, basketball, tennis, various workout equipment, and indoor track.

I love the Little Rock Athletic Club and the wonderful fitness experience that they provide. Personally, I love the variety of classes, workout equipment, and amenities provided by the club. On top of that, the staff is absolutely top-notch and takes good care of its members. If youre not a member, you need to schedule a time to take a tour and join!

This is a great club! I enjoy working out while my son is in the Tennis Academy. It can get crowded at times, but never so crowded that you cant get in a good workout. The locker rooms are nice too. They have a hot tub, sauna, and steam room in the mens! They also have a very nice kids area that is safe and my son loves it!

Review №21

We love the Athletic Club! I love Marion’s hip hop class (check it out on LRAC Facebook page) and my husband started CrossFit a few years ago at LRAC and is hooked! The personalized instruction he received to learn about form and which muscles to engage for each exercise give me peace of mind that he will not injure himself. We love the pools and splash area for our young son and we love seeing familiar faces-friends he can play with! I have been going to the Athletic Club since birth and would not want it any other way for my own growing family.

Five years ago I began leading Group Exercises Classes for the Athletic Club system. I can honestly say leading these classes has been one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. Why? Its because members of The Little Rock Athletic Clubs (LRAC, Racquet, NLRAC), are some of the finest people I have ever known. They are engaging, friendly, dedicated to the classes they attend, and - fortunately for me - very forgiving of in class instructor blunders! LRAC, LRRC, and NLRAC are a wonderful community of individuals focused on their health and well-being. Im so glad to be a part of it.

The staff is amazing!!! Lifeguards, front desk, child care, class instructors, grill, tennis etc. I am always greeted with, at the very least, a smile. Shannon Huntsman went above and beyond helping us join and get settled in. He still greets me by name and checks in when we see each other at the club. We are so happy here and plan to be members for a long time!

As a member of more than 15 years I am still convinced that Athletic Club is the best fitness club for my needs. My schedule is hectic and being able to have group exercise classes available at anytime of the day is important for me. They constantly strive to introduce new innovative classes with interesting routines led by highly trained certified instructors. The atmosphere is fantastic, workers are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend joining Athletic clubs.

Review №38

LRAC is not the cheapest in town but it is the best. I have been a member since the early to mid 90’s. Great place regardless of what age group you are in. Lots of classes for all ages. You can swim, lift weights, CrossFit, run, walk, play tennis indoor or outdoor, play racket ball, basketball, cycle class, get a personal trainer, have a massage, sit in the hot tub, sauna, or stream room. Lots of equipment so you hardly ever have to wait for anything. Great friendly staff and they are constantly cleaning everything so you have clean equipment all the time. There’s no excuses for not being able to be healthy. They offer childcare and they have a nice play area for the little kids to play and be supervised by staff while you workout. They have a nice Pro Shop with tennis gear to workout clothing and much more. If you are to tired to go home and cook after a workout then LRAC has you covered there as well. They offer some tasty food options at the grill. You can sit down and relax while they cook your meal. Even adult beverages are available as an option. There’s a lot to offer under one roof at LRAC. You will be spoiled. At least drop in and try it before you join a gym so you can see and feel the difference of a gym and a health club. There’s really no comparison.

I love spending my time here. I’m not an athlete or anything i just appreciate the clean facilities, the helpful people, the abundant amount of things the membership offers. I like to bring my 8yo son to the children’s pool and splash area. I spent countless hours this summer tanning and swimming at the pools. Couldn’t be happier.edit: December 2020. have been a member for over 18 months now, have lost over 80lbs swimming, playing basketball and using the machines. i have gotten to be friends with several of the staff which honestly says something for me as Im generally a background/leave me alone type of patron. Ive never been in better shape, both physically and mentally and any minor issue I have with the club is a misstep by an individual person and not the club as a whole. I plan to be a member for a very long time.

LRAC is the perfect place to go for the whole family. They offer everything imaginable and are always willing to provide the latest “fad” classes. (which keeps the menu fresh and fun)Also, trainers are always available to answer questions and assist with equipment!There is no better place for a great, enjoyable workout!

Family Friendly, my kids love it here! The group exercise classes are wonderful and there are so many to choose from you are sure to find one (or several) that you love! We love the tennis courts and the pools too! The kid pool is great in the summer and the 25 meter is even covered and heated in the winter. Could not ask for a better, more well-rounded health and fitness club!

I do not recommend this place for summer camp! My 5 year old daughter was constantly bullied . I told the staff and even got the director involved and my.daughter.was still bullied. They are not.fully watching those kids.The director and her helper of the summer.camp was rude The pool needs updating. The exercise equipment is great. The gym staff is awesome

One of the best gyms in Little Rock, and has the biggest indoor tennis facility! The staff is always extremely friendly and helpful. I got locked out of my locker at 6am one morning and they were very apologetic and were speedy about getting the locker unlocked. The tennis pros are fantastic.

Staff are professional,pleasant and helpful. Environment is clean. Coaches are so caring and competent Whole atmosphere is inviting,motivating and draws us there. Some days,especially weekends,its tempting to skip gym....but once in the gym,it just takes a couple of minutes to feel glad to be there. Many choices People who come to the club have good manners and are very friendly. This is the first gym where I see such a wide spectrum of age groups..toddlers to 80 plus citizens Free coffee etc etc.I planned to take individual membership...but my family was so impressed and curious what transformed me. They checked it out...transferred from other gyms to LRAC. Its a great opportunity for family bonding as well. Our coaches know our family members by our first names.Front desk staff always greet us with a happy smile and greet us on our way out...regularly.Its one of my best investments in personal / family life. Thank you.

Review №49

Great facility to work out at but the aquatics department is far from welcoming. Swim lessons are very unorganized as they have several lessons going on at once and children are constantly bumping into each other. Many swim instructors are not properly trained and some of their skill levels are no different from a parent teaching their own child themselves.I have had numerous bad experiences with the director of aquatics. I have found her to be very rude and unprofessional. While swim lessons are still going on, the aquatics office will take off early leaving the remaining hour of swim lessons to baffled instructors who aren’t sure of what to do with the confused parents. This is a money trap and I would advise either teaching your child how to swim yourself or find a different facility with decent aquatics management.

I have been at this club for 18 months and it has been a wonderful experience. Growing in Spain and living in other countries (Germany and Italy) and other US cities like New York, I had the opportunity of enjoying excellent gyms. I can honestly say that Athletic Club has been the best so far. Place is clean, machines are new, tennis courts are in great condition, and all members of the staff are awesome. Crossfit coaches and members are like family. My children like to stay at the daycare or maze while my wife and I are working out. Always able to find go deals at the pro-shop.

Review №51

They do have wonderful equipment to suit your needs but when I walked in there the first time without having a card the woman at the front desk immediately started to get an attitude. She was very unwelcoming so I decided to not become a member and leave. The place did not feel comfortable at all.

Ive been a member of LRAC for over 25 years. I mostly play tennis there, but it is great for a variety of exercise classes, walking the track and grabbing a quick meal after tennis. The pro shop carries some great tennis and exercise clothes. The location is very convenient and fairly close to my house.

My husband broke hip in December. We were looking for a place for him to continue his rehabbing and Dr. Martha Plaster was recommended. I added him to my membership and he started rehabbing with Martha. He loves her and is making great progress. Until this happened, I never thought about using the club for this purpose.

I was never interested to exercise until my sister made me tag along & I bregrudgingly, went with her to your gym. In fact, I even dreaded the idea of going to one. But eversince that first time, I’ve been hooked.... though never did thought I was going to be.Little Rock Athletic Club was a complete surprise. Soon as we entered (my first time, as observed) were right away greeted by the affable hellos, faces & smiles at the reception desk. It’s that warm & happy feeling you instantly receive that you are most welcome & they are delighted that you are there.The gym, pool, tennis & its facilities are well equipped, clean & properly maintained. There’s even a good coffee bar that one can partake to increase its metabolism & to enhance energy to exercise. The staff & trainers are most friendly, pleasant, approachable & helpful. The members are also nice & amiable.Over all, it’s a most comfortable place to be in.

I participated in the 25 Days for 25 Dollars promotion benefitting Habitat for Humanity. This gave me time to visit a wide variety of classes. There are so many classes I didnt have time to try them all. There’s no need to ever be bored with your workout. All the employees were friendly and helpful as were the participants in the classes I visited. I was pleased that everyone took the time to make sure I arrived in the right area of the club for my class and made sure I had the “equipment” I needed.The classes were fun and hard work. I loved it so much I joined!

Ive yet to find something I dont like.Most of all, I like your trainers, specially Carla, Eric, and Victoria. I like your physical therapist, Martha, and your massage therapist, Dawn. I like the people up front, Sophia and Derek. They start the day with a pleasant good morning every day. I like the people who work around the club, Connie, Paul, David, Susan, Brittany. They, too, have pleasant greetings at all times.I like the club members. Particularly the older guys, like myself, who sit in the comfortable seats in the coffee area. We solve the problems of the world each day. I like the physical set up of the LRAC, the equipment, the various spaces in which to work out and exercise. I like the Blue Court Grill. I eat lunch there with friends at least once a week.Have I forgotten anybody or anything? I like them, too!!

Very good facility and professional staff. They provided initial assessment at the time of enrollment. Good workout equipment. I lost more lbs then what I aimed for for just making few changes in my workout by introducing resistance training (no trainer input). Variety of equipment available to introduce workout variation in your routine. I have not tried group exercises, which I can live without using them.

Clean, spacious machine/ equipment areas, a great variety of classes to choose from throughout the day, everyday. Staff is always positive and helpful. I re entry had a PT evaluation, which was done very professionally, not hurried, & I came away with a workout plan that I can do which is helping me get back the strength I need and is versatile. The PT even emaile me videos of the exercises along with my personalized workout plan.

Love spinning classes that use heartbeat and screen. Spivi? Would really encourage spin class schedule to state whether instructor will use it or do own instruction. Both types of classes are good but would let user know what to prepare for. I also like promotions club offed and games. Would encourage more of those. Also really like how willing staff is to work with me when my 3 college age kids are home from school. Customer service is +++++!! Pro shop also offers great selection of gear and clothes and really good cross section of all sports. Well done!! There may be clubs out there with cheaper dues but you get what you pay for. I came from one of those clubs. You had to wait in line to use equipment. Equipment would be down for long time too. LRAC truly is a club of choice!

Is it pricey? Yes. Is it worth the price? In my opinion, yes! More fitness classes than Ive ever seen at a gym, and at a lot of different times. Equipment is up to date. Love the cardio area with the TVs on the walls. There are multiple different areas to work out in.

We signed up for the swimming lessons in LRAC for my 6 year old son, we found instructors are very devoted and involved, they are so enthusiastic and encouraging, It is amazing to see him learning the technique so quick and develop passion for the sport. I wouldnt be able to teach him so well myself. We recommended this to our friends and neighbours and they all have the same feeling----great place!

As a relatively new member I find there are many classes, equipment choices, pool and other activities in order to train and participate toward leading a more healthy lifestyle. I am also an employee (working with Seniors) and enjoy being in classes with other instructors to broaden my opportunities to expand my lifestyle choices with Zumba, Nia to Yoga and enjoying the inside walking track as well. Its a family oriented club for both young and older members and all those in between. Play On!!!!!

Review №95

For me, the LRAC is a home away from home. The staff are more like good friends and family. The spirit of accommodation within the staff is pervasive, from Derek and Sophia at the front desk to Sammy ,Mike ,and Rick in the maintenance department. Sandwiched in between are the two indispensable book ends, Susan and Robyn; and of course Justin the good shepherd of all the above. My only complaint is that any equipment that breaks or insinuates that it might break is repaired before I can cobble together a creative indictment of the Club, which of course, is frustrating to my baser nature .Frank, what ever you are doing, keep doing it!

So I came to visit my long distance sweet heart for a few weeks and was looking for a some pick up games of tennis. I stopped by The Racquet Club to see if I could find a pick up game. The super friendly and helpful receptionist told me I could try to find someone to hit with even though I wasnt a member. Unfortunately, I did not find anyone to hit with, but ran into a tennis pro who directed me to the The Little Rock Athletic Club. I headed over and was literally set up with someone the next day. Not just anyone, but someone in management. I felt truly honored and special. So I was fortunate to have a trial membership during my stay and tried out pretty much all of the facilities and have been sold. LRAC is truly a great place to work out, play Tennis, Basketball, Spin, practice Yoga, and to perfect your Barre skills.The ambiance, energy and their spectacular staff from all the departments work as a team to make the club so attractive and warm. Management is always around, involved and accessible.If you want to come to a well managed facility with a family feel, this is the place to go. The majority of the staff some how remembers your name and treats you like a friend or family.When I relocate to Little Rock, I will be definitely joining this club.Thanks to all the team of LRAC!
