Liberty Lake Athletic Club — Local services in Liberty Lake

I started by joining PEAK fitness in CDA. Then after a while I started having to go to LLAC. The gym is fine. The sauna is pretty disgusting (people shave in there a lot).

After moving I needed to cancel my membership. They require a 30 day notice. After explaining that I started my membership through PEAK I asked if I needed to cancel from PEAK or if they could handle it. The girl at the front desk let me know that she could handle both sides and to just send her an email. Fast forward a month and they still charge me. I give them a call and they tell me that I was wrong and there is no way that they would have told me that. They also didn’t really want to help me by calling PEAK to help me cancel and recoup the ~$60 dollars for the month I was now paying for.

They lied and told me they called PEAK and also let me know that PEAK said I would have to cancel through them. They basically called me a liar and that there’s nothing they could do. I called PEAK and they were very very helpful. In a matter of minutes I was on the phone with finance and was refunded my money after forwarding PEAK all the emails I sent to Liberty Lake Athletic Club.

PEAK is a great gym. The people at Liberty Lake? Not so much. Read some of the other 1 star reviews. There is at least one more regarding...

The only thing that kept me from rating Liberty Lake Athletic Club 5 stars are the weekend hours (they close at 5pm Sat & Sun) at the primary club which, considering the small size of Liberty Lake, I'm guessing are what they are due to financial considerations... That is the entirety of the negative at the club, which means all in all, it's really an outstanding place to work out. They excel in the areas that REALLY count, like the quality of the staff, which I have to say in 35 years of going to different gyms throughout the western United States, is second to none. The equipment they have varies from the classic standards and free weights to new, modern machines, stationary bikes and more. What's important to me regarding the equipment, is I almost never have to wait to use it, and when I do, the wait is never long. Regarding the hours; they do have another location that's open 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It's a little further away for me, so I have yet to try it out, but if I absolutely MUST workout on a weekend outside if the club's normal open hours, I can always head to...

This gym is mediocre, dated and smells bad. I don’t understand why they haven’t stepped up their game or why another gym hasn’t come in to fill a much needed mid range quality gym niche in the valley. Peak fitness is great but I guess one of the owners daughter is married to the owner of LLAC. I heard Peak won’t come in because they would take the customer base away from LLAC and decimate their business. I wish they would come to Spokane Valley because the options here are so limited. The rest of the gyms around here are your basic $40/month, filthy, smelly 24 hour Fitness/LA Fitness like gyms. There’s no competition or much that differentiates from that model. I believe there is probably a demographic that would pay $70-$100/month for a nicer option. The only nice gym in the entire Spokane area is The Spokane Club but it’s out of the way for me or I would join. It’s...
