This gym is everything you could want in a workout experience. It has a totally different kind of vibe than every other gym I have been a member to and there’s no going back! There *feels* like a lot of respect for health versus desperation to lose weight. My husband and I attend tribe together (group training) and absolutely love the experience. We also really love the instructor, Lisa. She is fun, helpful, positive and really makes the experience a pleasant one instead of something I dread. I also do one on one training with Rachel, which is a totally different and beautiful experience. Rachel is very knowledgeable and supportive. She respects my limitations and encourages me and all the right ways. If you’re looking for a new gym, I highly recommend coming to this one. You won’t regret it.
My gym closed due to covid so I decided to try this one. BEST DECISION EVER! Everyone is so friendly and helpful, it’s clean, and the equipment is great. Also if you’re looking for a personal trainer ask for Rachel G! She is amazing and very knowledgeable I love training with her I always look forward to it.
Polite staff and the buff dudes actually help with techniques instead of making fun of you. Really nice facility
It’s an ok gym but be careful what your getting yourself into. It’s very complicated to end membership and they don’t send invoices letting you know when they are charging your card. I signed up and prepaid a year in advance and planned on ending my membership after my months were up. However, because of COVID I had some extra months added and didn’t think much of it since I still have til at least the end of the year. They expect you to remember an annual fee after a year and a half goes by since signing documents.All I wish this gym did is at least send invoices to let you know a bill is coming. But I guess how else do gyms make there money than have hidden charges and fees!Good luck but try saving your money and go somewhere else.
There is no saltwater. Water contains chlorine. When we signed up the staff member lie stated that chlorine smell is from Jacuzzi!My wife have stretch marks due to hormones. I will write letter to United States Department of Health, to check water qualify and components test!
Best gym I’ve ever been at!! So clean, friendly, and helpful!
Love this gym. They have so many cool areas. The salt water lap pool was the highlight for me. This gym has 2 pools though!! Plus, a sauna, hot tub and little outdoor water park feel. The machines are new and whatever your fitness goal is, you can achieve it. Lots of classes. Nice basketball court. Friendly staff. Theres a family room area and I think they even have a place for the kiddies. By far, my favorite gym Ive ever been to. Really wanted a membership but Im never home to use it because work sends me all over. I would HIGHLY recommend this gym!!
They have great childcare with 8 am-8 pm hours. They have an awesome splash pad for the kids in the summer. 2 lap pools (25 m and 25 yards) plus a smaller warm pool. They have a pretty robust class schedule. Just added Barre Above classes. Staff is very friendly and attentive.
This is a great place. Clean all new equipment. They take good care of their equipment, very friendly and accommodating. Check it out. They have 2 pools inside and outside.
Such a great place to bring the whole family. Or just take take of yourself. I love it there!
A pool, a small climbing wall and lots of great equipment. Great place to workout. Most importantly, the staff is excellent.
Called the club on 9/4/19 to find out about their freebie pass, as my partner was scheduled for a surgery that may not allow him to ever swim again, and he wanted to do it one more time. I spoke with Ben, who was very attentive and understanding. When I came in the next day, he hooked me up with 2 passes for me and my partner to have assess to everything, including the outside water park which was not typically included in the free trial. Ben said that the passes were valid for a week if we chose to come back, and at that time, we would simply pay 10$ a head to use the pools again. He also mentioned that the passes glitch out sometimes, so if we came back in a week at they were expired in the system, they would just make us new ones and wed still pay the guest fee.We had a wonderful time, both in the outside pool, and the indoor facilities, where we spent most of our day going back and forth between the jacuzzi and the heated pool in the back. My partner enjoyed this surprise so much, that he asked to come back one more time before the surgery, and so we came back on 9/12/19, a week later. Earlier that morning, I e-mailed Ben, saying that I couldnt seem to find our pass cards, and he replied to me that it was no problem, either our guest receipt would be enough to use the facilities, or they would just make us new ones for the day - same information he relayed to me a week earlier. However, when we got there, and I explained this to the girl at the service desk, giving her Bens name and telling her what he has communicated to me, she sighed, took my name, looked in the system, said the passes were indeed expired, but that if we wanted to come in again, it would have to be with a member only. I told her this is not at all what her colleague has promised us, which I had in writing, and she said shed go ask someone else, another young man who didnt even have the courtesy to come over or look at us, he had his back turned to us the whole time. That exchange took all of 15 seconds, and she returned quickly to reiterate that we could no longer use the facilities unless one of us bought a membership. This whole situation was embarrassing, uncomfortable, and borderline demeaning, as we had to turn around and walk right back out. I e-mailed Ben immediately, telling him we were turned away and why, hoping that maybe an apology was in order, that someone would make this right, but nothing came of it. No reply. Im leaving 2 stars for the actual swimming facilities of the club, because they were great, as well as the initial compassionate attitude shown by Ben to our unique situation, otherwise Id give it zero stars if I could. You robbed my partner of a now once in a lifetime experience because you couldnt be bothered to figure out why one of your workers promised us one thing and that regardless of whether or not it was protocol, it should have been honored on the spot, because we were ready to pay for the day, and its basic customer service.
I have had gym memberships in almost every gym in the Vancouver area in the past 8 Years. Currently I go to this location, and although the facility is fairly large, a lot of the equipment is very dated.I strongly believe that the Cable Cross Machine is basically the most versatile and important piece of equipment for any gym to have. Although they do have one, it is the oldest and worst one Ive ever seen and used. The cable cross only adjusts vertically, NOT horizontally, and the right side cable is very faulty where it does not maneuver smoothly, but instead is jolty and is difficult to work with.Also with any other gym that Ive gone to, there is a designated spot to stretch and do exercises on the floor. Sometimes its a room, other times its a large section located somewhere off to the side. Although they do have a section for that, it is usually occupied by some sort of class, therefore restricted to the members for regular use. Leaving us a couple floor mats on the side against the wall to work with.Overall the facility is fairly large, there are a few good things about it, but if you value quality equipment and space for your workouts, it just might not be worth that substantial monthly membership fee.
Convenient hours and location. Lots if excercises equipment all working and in great shape. A clean and family friendly environment. The outdoor kids pool area is fantastic in the summer for my grandkids and I enjoy the indoor warm pool year round for water aerobics classes.
Highly reccomend! Great atmosphere, clean bathrooms, friendly staff and great workout classes.
Have been working out here for a couple years now. Its cool to see how much they have grown and the renovations they have done. The outdoor pool is great in the summer and they cover it with a balloon thing to use in the winter. They have all the equipment you need, great bathrooms and showers, and a huge workout floor. The gym is always filled with people playing basketball or pickle ball depending on your age.
Have been a member here for several years and can’t think of a better gym around. There is a ton of free weights and cardio machines - treadmills, stair climbers, bikes, etc. There is plenty of space to stretch out after a good cardio sesh. I also enjoy the outdoor pool in the summer but there are other indoor pools and even a sauna that I haven’t used. The staff has always been very friendly, the equipment is clean and there aren’t any meat heads that I’ve seen. If you’re looking for a gym that has plenty of amenities, this is your place.
Currently a member... compared this gym to all others in East Vancouver. Two salt water only pools, one outdoor chlorinated kids pool! Nice whirlpool, dry & steam saunas, amazing locker rooms! Great staff, always helpful! Very clean also!!
Been a member of the Cascade Athletic Clubs since 2007 and this club is the newer one. Its family friendly, offers many group fitness classes, and inspires a social environment. Wouldnt go anywhere else!
I love Cascade Athletic Club. The staff is very helpful and they do a great job of making everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The pools are amazing, and the fitness instructors know their business. I will be a member for life.
Enjoyable large workout facility. Dozens of treadmills, ellipticals, and stairclimbers. Summer outdoor pool is great for swimming laps. Kiddie splash area seems very popular.
I love this gym!! It has so much to offer and is the strongest competition for the top gym in the PNW.... rock climbing, 3 pools (2 are salt water) Jacuzzi, steam and hot air sauna and every kind of workout equipment you can imagine... added bonus is all there classes are included ( ever workout alone again)
Good club. Not perfect, but best around
This is a great gym, since having kids weve signed up for a few gym memberships and have never managed to go regularly. Here, because of the Kid Fit program we have stuck to our goal of going twice a week for a year. Its so much better (and more motivating) to have something fun for the whole family to do while were there.
Really nice gym. Good equipment, good classes. Full size BB court and great pools and recently remodel locker rooms.
Well managed club. Classes are great and instructors are very good.
This place was great! Plenty of seating. Great pool and splash pad. My kids really.enjoyed it.
Love the gym& we love kids club too!
Clean gym, friendly staff, great kids club hours. They have a heated pool for child swim lessons that is much appreciated. Ive raised concern over dirty floors and it gets address quickly.
With gyms theres no one-size-fits all. Certain gyms cater to certain populations and you have to find the one that fits you. For a family with small children, CAC fits us nicely. They have child care with plenty of room for the kids to play, swimming lessons, an outdoor splash pad open during summer, a small indoor kiddy pool, a rock wall (check the hours beforehand) and optional kid fit club so the littles can get a little exercise too. As far as adult options, CAC has a decent selection of instructor-led classes (tho Ive seen more for fitness clubs of this size), lap pool, basketball court (that gets overrun by high schoolers), and a bunch of weights and machines. CAC also has a sauna, jacuzzi and steam room to keep you sweatin. Locker rooms/bathrooms are large with several private showers, private changing booths, a swimming trunk drier, and a roll of baggies for transporting stinky/wet clothes home (genius!). It appears they rent a room out to a massage therapist, but Im fairly certain this is done by appointment only. The spin classes are ok - the instructors are great but theyre limited to some third-party courses that are on repeat for like a full month or something. Because of this, the spin classes get a little monotonous after a few. This also may be the case with other instructor-led classes, but Im not sure.
This is a great place for a family membership but for a single person the price is very high. Especially since it doesnt come with a guest allowance at all. But the staff is very cool and the equipment is great. They also have a very nice steam room which was a deal maker for me
My Daughter and I have been going here for about 6 months and we couldn’t be happier. I love the open space and how I don’t feel claustrophobic. They have so many options. Their swim instructors are amazing, in that they’re interactive and my daughter learned so much and is now, I consider to be an excellent swimmer. There are so many gyms that don’t support family and I think it’s sad. I’m very thankful that children are embraced at this gym since I have a child and want her always with me. It is a family style gym for sure.I do notice the website and staff can be difficult to get information from at times. Basically I really had to study to get clarification on a few things. Also it would be great to have another leg press machine, it’s a popular one.Mel is amazing, love her as an instructor, she’s real and motivating, which is exactly what I need from a personal trainer. I’ve experienced a lot of growth since I started with her.I don’t think I’ll ever go anywhere else. Too close to home.
Great gym, really family oriented. They have a lot of amenities and really friendly staff. Love the balconies with the treadmills, olipticals and more. Took my first class the other day and the instructor was upbeat and really helpful. She made you feel like you werent being a bother if you didnt know some of the moves or couldnt keep up. A few members were encouraging when they saw me standing at the class door unsure if I was ready. They just smiled and said come join us and I didnt feel judged because of my weight or clumsiness. The price for your membership reflects all the uses you have available to you, like the indoor pool, sana, steam room, hot tub, basket ball courts, clean equipment, clean locker rooms, the rock climbing wall and the many many many classes. The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 is because I feel like with the single membership price, you should be allowed to take a guest in a few times a month maybe for free without paying for them and without using your points. Also I want to do more with the rock wall but the instructors are only there between a limited window in the evening... and for someone who works long hours into the evening, Id like to see them offer classes in the morning maybe once or twice because Im not sure how to start learning without taking a day off just to take one of the classes.
Literally it’s my second backyard thank you guys and amazing shower!
Friendly staff and great equipment and workout options!
It is a bit spendy to be a member, but they offer a lot of classes, keep the building clean, and the equipment in safe working order. Seems like a good value for the money.
My partner and I love the classes - the instructors are great and there are plenty too choose from. Also love the staff. Glad we joined!
This gym is one of best I have been to. It is clean, friendly staff and great classes.
Friendly staff, good equipment and the splash pad and pools are great for kids!
Good community, and the massive gym has everything youd ever need
There are perks to this gym, but there are also a large amount of things I dislike. Ive been to college gyms, bodybuilding gyms, and this one was by far my least favorite.The gym being packed is understandable, especially if you go after 4pm, but on top of that my dislikes are..1) Too many teens and children in the weightlifting area. Many dont even know what theyre doing and/or talk with their friends the whole time which limits the open machines (especially when its already packed)2) Weights are not organized AT ALL. No one puts their weights back, very few people clean machines of sweat, overall its a chore to clean up after people when they get off a machine. The weight trees are never organized.. simply a nightmare3) Staffing. Management is good but general staff dont seem to care when people abuse or miss-use weights and equipment. Turn around rate seems pretty high so that could be part of it, but there should be some more attention to general gym organization instead of having 2 or 3 people at the front desk at all times.4) Pricing. You dont really have any other options in this area other than 24 hour and theyre equally ridiculous. Seems as though they know members dont have other options and take advantage
Great staff, family friendly, everything you need is there. Great kids club hours, and TONS of program. Highly recommend.
Nice gym. Tons of startup fees and then even more fees for canceling your gym membership. If you don’t have kids then 24 hr fitness is a much better choice.
Great gym for families. Plenty of equipment with great variety. Excellent programs for kids age 5 and over. For younger kids the childcare area is very spacious and has fun stiff like a basketball hoop. Classes for all types of fitness. We have a gym that is closer to us, but this one is well worth the drive.
Since I joined this club I’ve felt at home, with its clean facility and friendly staff I’m excited to bring my family and tell my friends about the clubs amenities. Also the guests are friendly at least the ladies I’ve met. I’m happy I joined Cascade Athletic Club
Love the selection of equipment, and how there are multiple areas to lift weights in. Staff is always very friendly, and helpful when we have any questions. Feels much more personal than any of the big chain gyms I have gone to previously.
Youre not just a number here. The whole staff really cares about their members. Having managed a club, Id hire this whole staff in a heartbeat,
Nice pool. They had racquetball too. I would have given them five stars but the basketball courts were a little bit Schottie.
Excellent place to work out and with very Friendly staff
I have been going here for 2 years now and have had nothing but a great experience. Member ship fees are well priced for everything they offer. Most people are concerned about how crowded a gym is with their membership, so far since i have been here it has only been crowded less than a handful of times and even then i was able to get a good workout in without waiting to use equipment. All the equipment is well maintained and always appears to be clean. Overall i love this place and plan on going here for a long time.
I hestitated to come in for over a year because I thought pricing would be beyond my budget, specially with them having the only pools in town. Surprisingly pricing is competitive and they do month to month membership without trying to charge you double for it. Nicole helped sign me up and she was really nice. The pools are saline which I think is much healthier for the body, I cant take a chlorine pool every other day, the smell gets to me. I seem to detect a very slight amount of chlorine in the pool (maybe something else) but its by far much less then a typical pool.
There is always an open treadmill and one of the cleanest gyms Ive seen.
Ive been going to this gym for a few months now and I love it. The staff are very friendly and the equipment is clean and always ready for use. I love this gym and dont ever plan on leaving it.
Awesome!
Great club! Lots of equipment, friendly staff and lots of group classes. Plus, great atmosphere for families, with the Kid Fit classes, family swim time and the relaxed atmosphere.Ive been a fitness fanatic for a long time, but never a gym rat until Cascade. If youre into a type A, super-uptight workout experience Cascade may not be for you. But if youd rather have a great workout in a family-friendly environment, Cascade is definitely worth checking out!
Ive been looking around to find a great gym that offers classes. My friend told me about the gym she was going to so I gave it a shot. Not only does CAC offer a variety of classes for all levels of ability but also has two pools, a steam room, sauna, rock wall, any piece of equipment you could imagine, and a smoothie bar. They have all of this with a great staff to help guide you through it all. Jacob in particular was very helpful in getting me signed up and in showing me my way around on the first day. Great gym, so happy I joined!
Ive been a member for the past 3 years. The staff are fantastic and the culture of the members is friendly and pleasant. If youre looking for a great place to focus on your health, CAC is a great place to be!
Decent equipment, but aging facility and not quite clean as you would expect.
Great family-friendly athletic club! Friendly and professional staff! The indoor and outdoor pools are clean and fantastic! The facility is clean and well lite with a verity of work out areas and options. The membership price is higher than some other facilities, but Cascade provides an exceptional workout facility and experience for members of all ages, fitness levels and body types
Called about pricing and staff said I dont know. Super helpful lol, I dont trust a company that cant give you info. I have a feeling that they are overpriced or lots of extra fees.
I have been a gym member for the last year and just really started going. All the people are nice and great to work with. My son and I have personal trainers and they are awesome to work with
Lots of cardio equipment. Its great for a family gym with pools, bball court, and a rock climbing area. Its also pretty expensive and its much too crowded during peak times for how much is charged.
Today was my first day back after some time off for injuries and illness. Things had changed a little bit, but still the same great place. This is a great family gym. Kids Klub is always clean and well staffed. Love the steam room and the rock wall. Classes are awesome with great instructors.
Plenty of great equipment. The staff is friendly and helpful. The members and environment here is very family friendly but not in the community center sort. The quality of you get what you pay for certainly shows through at this facility.
Great Athletic club that is absolutely kid friendly!
The facility is nice, class variety is good. But way too many kids! Locker rooms and pool area full of them, weight floor is full of teens not knowing what they are doing. Constant phone usage and unclean. I feel if this club wants to cater to children and teens they should be upfront about that in their initial tour.
Great family orinented gym. Helpful and friendly staff.
Ive been a member of other clubs and this one is absolutely the best! Its a little more expensive, but totally worth it! There is a wide variety of equipment, classes, and amenities. What I like the most is the clientele, as compared with other gyms, are friendly and great to be around.
A list of pro and cons for people who are >16 and have ASD.Pros:GymNice lookingCons:Everything else.
A great place to engage with physical wellness. CAC has lots of equpiment and a very friendly staff always happy to help. They have a wide variety of classes every day of the week and different hours of the day. Great for families and students!
Great place to work out. Lots of equipment to use.
I just got a yearly membership and it is everything that I could have asked for! Staff are really friendly. The gym equipment is maintained. Overall, this is a great gym for anyone willing to join!
Great workout facility with a great variety of equipment. Family friendly with childcare and lots of different types of workout classes. Pool area also has a steam and a sauna room
Absolutely horrible. I pay over 100 dollars a month for this membership. Today I showed up with a guest who is thinking of getting a membership. I asked if she could work out with me for the day. I was told it would be almost 11 dollars for her to try out the gym. There was no customer service whatsoever. When asked if I could add her to my account I was told no. When I said Id like to cancel, the mans response was perfect, let me get the paperwork! a joke of an establishment.
Family friendly environment with lots of equipment, a rock wall, indoor and outdoor pools, jacuzzi, kids area, a variety of classes, large gym and nice staff.
Good equipment and classes, great staff
Its 12:45 in the morning and Im reviewing their website trying to find the cost of a membership. This should not be a difficult thing to find. I get a pop up message asking if I want a free guest pass and I asked James how much an individual adult membership is twice and both times he couldnt answer the question and wanted me to get a call from a salesperson. When I said I didnt realize that was such a difficult question and said no thanks I dont want a sales person pressuring me, his response was have a good evening if you change your mind give us a call. What kind of business is that?! Just be upfront about your cost on your website because people are going to find out one way or another. Avoiding a straightforward question is a red flag & poor customer service, no thanks! Now that I have read a number of the reviews on Google my instinct was spot on.
Best club in Vancouver by far! Family owned for 40 years. New equipment added regularlyGive it a try, ask for Jake for a tour.
I love the stem room and pool
One of the best if not the best facility in Vancouver. Coming from the Portland/Beaverton area where theres a great deal of competition for a quality exercise facility at a reasonable price, plus being the home of Nike headquarters, Ive become a bit of a gym snob.I moved over to this side of the river because Beaverton has become far too congested and savings on state income tax. Otherwise, I would still be over there. Its a great area in many respects.Vancouver has more room to breath, but makes it tough to find a quality facility.Cascade Athletic Club offers much more than a typical gym at a reasonable price with no contracts. Plus, the staff are awesome!
I switched to Cascade/Fishers Landing from 24 Hour Fitness about a year ago. The first thing I noticed was the fact that Cascade actually cleans things, like floors, and exercise mats. OH MY LORD - they actually care about keeping their gym clean!Next I found out just how friendly and supportive the staff are. Trainers will say hi to you even if you are not paying them for training! Talk about a big difference from 24 hour?MY focus at this gym is to get to know folks and make people feel like they belong. This matches Cascades goal - I LOVE THIS GYM!
Great experience. Staff mostly very nice and helpful. Really enjoy the pools and steam room. Great equipment and convenient hours.
Very nice facilita good equipment and friendly staff.
Lift metal in the airSwim, jog, cardio, take classReturn tomorrow
Nice price and lots of options for exercise
My regular workout place. It has more than I could ever ask for can the variety of equipment and trainers.
I go to this gym several days a week and have for several years. Love it, and all of the group fitness instructors!
Good club with extensive equipment. Men’s locker room just remodeled and the women’s locker room is next. Great staff!
Great staff, great amenities and great atmosphere.
I like club and go very frequently to enjoy exercises, swimming, Jacuzzi and steam room. Friendly staff and friendly members.
Friendly stuff. Nice people) Will come again.
If youre serious about your workouts, stay away from this place. If you just want a place to pretend to workout, it may be alright for you. There are way too many kids running around, especially in the free weight area. Its almost humorous (in a sad way) how there are more rules posted here than any other gym Ive ever been in and yet theyre ignored by most of the members, and the employees! All areas are consistently messy, garbage cans are overflowing and Ive even watched empty bottles lay in the same spot for days on end. Also, watch out for their ignorant and rude personal trainers... I really wonder where they get these people from.
I’ve been a member of many athletic clubs and this one outshines them all. There are an amazing variety of classes, awesome instructors, and I’ve made life long friends.
We love the pool!
Clean!! Friendly staff!! Great facility!
Great gym! Always clean and always nice to come in here!
Absolutely worthless web site
Nice facility. Too expensive. (ie $11 for a day pass)
The staff and managers are very friendly. The gym overall is everything I could expect at a gym, has all the equipment I could think of using to get a great workout.
