The Alaska Club, the state’s largest fitness organization, will hold an open house at all their locations Feb. 22-29 to celebrate its 30-year anniversary.
The Club started on Feb. 11, 1986, by Anchorage real estate professional Andrew Eker and former Alaska Pacific Bank president Tom Behan. Along with a group of 50 investors, they bought the Alaska Teamsters’ recreation center in east Anchorage and established The Alaska Club East. By 1997, there were locations across three major markets, and today there are 14 locations across the state.
The Alaska Club is known for having various amenities, such as personal training, tennis, racquetball, swimming, group classes, youth fitness, basketball, childcare and spa services.
In a statement, it was said that some of the most recent investments include multimillion dollar renovations at the Fairbanks and Juneau clubs, a new pool and splash park at the Eagle River club, new racquetball courts and a state-of-the-art group cycling studio at the South Anchorage club, and upgrades to the racquetball courts at the East club. New equipment, spa amenities and classes continue to be added and more projects are slated for this year.
