Lloyd Athletic Club

07/25/2007 Posted by aks0103

I have had nothing but a great experience at Lloyd AC! They know members by name and seem to "hear" what feedback members give them to make it "their" club. This a great feeling, as compared to the 24 Hour, Bally's and other large chaines where experiences leave one to feel like a number instead of a person. I especially love the fact that there is a variety of ages that belong. From racquetball to senior classes and activities, there is something for everybody! Great job!

Pros: There is something for everybody!

I've been a member at Lloyd for just over two years now. I've been very happy with the facility and the new remodel has made the space even larger and more user-friendly. I was a bit surprised to read the previous reviewer's comments...I've always found the staff at Lloyd to be very helpful and accommodating. This has been a big difference over my previous athletic club experience with 24-Hour fitness where the staff seemed more interested in each other than their members. I usually work out at Lloyd 2-3 times a week, and they always seem to have plenty of parking in their garage if I can't find a spot in the lot when it gets busy. I also like that the equipment seems pretty new and in good repair, and there's enough of it to keep me busy even when the club is full. Also, they give you free towels so that I don't have to remember to bring my own which is nice. I know some other clubs actually charge you for them. Overall, I've been really happy with my membership experience here. Good value for the price and facilities.

Pros: Parking, Staff, Equipment

Cons: Wi-Fi would be nice

I am happy with my membership. The staff is friendly, rates are low, no LOUD music, no high pressure sales, TONS of free classes, and a great location. I go to the club while avoiding traffic.

Pros: cost, location, easy going atmosphere

Cons: a little dark inside

I've been a member a few years. The facilities are all-right, but more importantly I don't feel pressure from anyone to look a certain way. The reason I'm rating it so badly is that, though as you enter the club the greeters are cordial, when you ask questions they often give you the wrong answer. I've been mis-informed too many times to feel good about this place. I don't feel they actually want to keep your business, or get it for that matter; you can only sign up between 10AM-5PM on just a few days. Mmmm...most people are WORKING during those hours! When I actually talked to the lady about signing up she seemed less then enthusiastic about signing another person up.

Pros: location

Cons: staff

I've been a member at LAC for the last three years simply because I can't find another club in my area (NE Portland). It's a nice place, pretty good equipment, love their classes. I just can't stand the unfriendly (and ill-informed) staff, the extremely scratchy old towels, the dilapidated locker rooms (at least the women's locker room!) and the total lack of parking space any weekday after 3:00 pm (don't expect to get a treadmill after 5:00 pm either). But they've got beer and racquetball courts, so I guess it's all about your priorities.

Pros: nice class selection, good equipment

I've had a hard time finding a good club and finally I have found one that motivates me to work out. The group classes are excellent, the staff is friendly and the facility is up to date with great equipment. I notice that they listen to the members and work hard to make everyone comfortable. It doesn't just have a gym feel to it, it has a "club" feel, where you are taken care of. Lloyd is a great club.

Pros: Clean, Friendly, Educated

I've been real happy here. Nice folks, newer machines. No pool, but they do have sauna, steam and jacuzzi. Best of all, they don't have music blasting throughout the place.

Pros: Towell service, Free parking
