About
The Columbia Athletic Club is a comprehensive fitness facility offering a wide range of amenities for its members. The gym provides over 3,400 square feet of strength training space and more than 2,000 square feet of cardio workout space, which includes equipment with personal flat-screen TVs, treadmills, elliptical trainers, and heavy bags for boxing. Members have access to four indoor tennis courts, racquetball, and squash courts. The venue also features a co-ed whirlpool and saunas. Gym members frequently note the facility is clean, with fresh towels consistently available, and appreciate the plentiful equipment even during busy times. The club offers numerous aquatic sessions that fit various schedules.
Members highlight the friendly and inclusive atmosphere, as well as the top-notch fitness programs led by on-staff personal trainers and vetted session leaders for yoga and spin. The tennis pros and desk personnel are noted as friendly and effective. However, some members express a desire for more squat racks and deadlift platforms in the weight room. There are also notes regarding maintenance in the boxing room, where a heavy bag was reported as crooked, and concerns about class management occasionally monopolizing the shared space. The membership process receives mixed feedback, with some guests praising staff responsiveness and helpfulness, while others report complications and inconsistent pricing for specialized membership tiers.
