Great GYM
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Polaris GYM is last of the OLD school gyms in Anchorage where a strength athlete can train heavy, use chalk and pursue uncommon strength. The equipment is well used and why not, they all can last a life time with care. Bill Frick hasn't yet succumbed to operating like the other commercial facilities where your welcome as long as your happy to run on their squirrel cages and only lift moderate weights. If your one of those who has to have fresh carpet, new equipment that looks like its never been used and love paying 2-3 times as much then you will feel more comfortable at the "other club" , you know the one that has cornered the market in Anchorage, charges exorbitant prices, and discourages real strength training. If you were able to compare the % of members at Polaris who actually use the gym compared to the % members at that other place who never show after joining you will see that Polaris is patronized by the serious strength athlete and fitness enthusiast who actually use their memberships and want Value.
Pros: Breath of fresh air
