Capital Athletic Club

Love this place! Started going here a few months ago. Can't say enough good about the place!

This club has new owners and management as of 1/1/21. In the process of renovating. Club will remain functional during the process.

Clean and quiet I love the water aerobics class

Super staff, has really everything you need to get a good workout in.Open 24 hours so you can train whenever you want. Highly recommend!

I'm a member of Capital Athletic club and I only give 2 out of 5 stars because some classes they do at this gym are VERY LOUD and is distracting and DISTURBING. They do NOT care about anyone around them. So this being said, your daily workout is not enjoyable.

I just joined 3 weeks ago and really like the place. The staff is courteous and friendly. I go work out over my lunch and it has been great.

I joined Prairie Life Sept. of 2014 and the best decision that I have made the staff that work there are friendly and they are doing things to update the place specially in the Ladies locker room. I would recommend Prairie Life to any one.

Love this gym. Not the fanciest place on earth but that's not what we're here for, is it?

After days of not getting a response to sign up for services by email, I called to see if I could sign up over my lunch hour. When I arrived, after getting my name/address/phone number, I was immediately given a waiver of liability document to sign, which seemed to be weird timing and weird priority for her over, oh I don't know, explaining services that come with the membership, about their facility, general pleasantries that normally accompany signing new business. The document was clear that I would be signing over all liability including their negligence. When I expressed that I felt concerned, she was dismissive, despite literally reading the document as proof what she was telling me was false. She then said she would call someone for more information, and while it was dialing she said to me, "honestly, IM a little worried that you're asking about suing US," to which I just walked out of her office. The lack of professionalism was astounding. She then called a few minutes later and doubled down on contradicting what the document meant and how unusual it was to be asked about it (she said I was her first in 8 years!). I gave her a chance to apologize and she was still rude and aggressively dismissive, taking zero accountability. I finally had to stop her to get off the phone. While waivers are not uncommon, and I've definitely signed plenty of them over the years, the timing of when the waiver was presented, how bold the waiver was, and that when I questioned if the language of the waiver was industry standard, Renee was hostile and verbally contradictive to the waiver itself, which I found to be predatory and dishonest. I was really excited to find a gym downtown (and originally just wanted to sign up for New Gen Fitness due to proximity to work). What a bizarre disappointment. EDIT: In response to Renee’s comment below: PLEASE feel free to post the video! I have no doubt it will confirm my statement.

It has what you need if you know what you're doing. If not, there's either classes you can participate in or pay a personal trainer to show you what to do. I recommend April's classes if you wanna see results and are willing to put the work in. Rachel's classes are good too.
