HealthSPORT — Local services in Arcata

I have been a HealthSPORT member for 6 years.

The tldr;

Great gym. Excellent weight room, plenty of cardio options. Wonderful classes for all types of members from young to old. Energetic personal trainers, friendly staff and accommodating to member requests.

There is a real sense of community between the members and management. They listen to their membership, trying to modernize the equipment and making the gym accessible to more people. Doug and Joe are both easily accessible to questions and concerns. As managers of the gym; they're both tremendously selfless with their work, you can see their integrity towards improving the gym and cultivating a positive environment for the staff and members.

The Arcata Community Pool gives discounts for people on Medi-Cal and CalFresh and they have fitness equipment as well as a sauna and hot tub. I will happily give my money to an organization that doesn't treat me like a...

After finding out healthsport had entered his expiration date wrong, my husband said he would be in there to pay in cash the next day and not to run his card. The lady over the phone asked him if he wanted her to change the expiration date and my husband said NO he would be in there tomorrow. He told her this twice..checking my bank account the next day the charge was pending in my account and taken out the next day.
