I LOVE the FAC!I visit Fayetteville twice a year to see family and always get either a 10 day pass for $60 or a monthly pass for $170 and I really value the time I can spend here.The Les Mills classes are awesome, I’ve only tried Barre, Grit, Sprint, and Bodypump but really enjoyed every single class and the energy and dedication that the staff exude.I spend most of my time in the cardio are which is huge and during COVID19 all the equipment including the cycling classes is properly spaced out with every other machine blocked.I haven’t visited the pool but they have a ton of classes and programs for all ages.I especially appreciate the friendly family feel of the FAC. I’m always pleasantly surprised to find no competitive vibe and at any time in the day, there’s always a broad representation of age, ethnicity, and sex. I value that diversity in a gym space and I always feel comfortable getting my exercise time in.The dressing area is big, bright, and always clean complete with showers and a sauna.Thank you FAC for your contribution to your members physical and mental health! 🙏

This is the epitome of a family owned business!!! My husband and I got a family membership on 3/27/21 and have had the most positive experience!! The owner will stop and talk to you any time he sees you while hes there. The staff is extremely encouraging and uplifting. They are ALL very warm and friendly. The front desk staff make it a point to welcome you by name when you come at a certain time. Its always busy, but there is never any difficulty being able to work out because there is SO MUCH equipment!! Classes are included in your membership and there are so many to choose from! We were also able to sign up for the child care for our daughter who is too young to work out with us and she LOVES going. Were able to work out without worrying about her being taken care of. She has an absolute blast every time shes there. They treat everyone with the same level of friendliness and respect, regardless of your age, fitness level or size. It is an amazing place that you can tell they take great pride in. It is always clean as well. There are always clean towels and disinfectant to wipe down the machines. Youll often see staff going through wiping the machines down, as well. We got a great deal when we signed up that included a free session with a personal trainer who was amazing (thank you, Virginia). We will continue this investment into our health for a long time to come, but this place makes it easy to want to continue to go!!

Fayetteville Athletic Club is such a great establishment. I have gotten the privilege to play on their courts and use the tennis facilities mainly. They were very welcoming and made the transition from my other tennis academy to this one very smooth! Love all the coaches and members that I have gotten to know as a college student! Fun environment and like I said before the community of people are outstanding .

My Step Daughter has to quarantine for 10 days because she was exposed to an unvaccinated staff member. I picked her up on Tuesday from FAC Kids FACtory and i saw absolutely not one person, adult or child, wearing masks. Cannot recommend this program in the least.

Coach Drew is the best! Im new to tennis and have been taking lessons from him for the past three months. I have had fun, learned so much and excited to play more! He is knowledgeable, skilled and has an obvious passion for the sport. In addition, he is a natural teacher with great communication skills and has the ability to move your game in the right direction. I would highly recommend him as a coach of any level of player!

Coach Nestor has been a wonderful addition to your program! He is bringing a next level of coaching and wisdom from his years of high level tennis coaching.He also has shown an interest in the players long term development and health. We are very happy to have him available!

This facility is the best in the NWA. If you are a parent and looking for a place for your kids while you work out definitely FAC is the right place. I have been to many gym but FAC has literally what you want from classes to even great protein shakes.Also, they have the best staff ever. When you go ask about Alex. She is amazing.

Our family of 4 quickly settled into FAC after we joined at the beginning of 2020. The friendly staff and members combined with the amenities FAC has to offer make it an exceptional place to be active and make friends along the way. We particularly enjoy the tennis facility and all the wonderful coaches and staff that are there every day to help you achieve your goals.

This is definitely a family gym, I have been going here my whole life and I feel like it’s a second home! Definitely a place I have been able to feel safe and workout in! The staff are great and the facilities are pristine. It’s definitely a place I have made countless friends and workout partners as well as gotten the motivation to live a healthy lifestyle! I wouldn’t imagine going to another gym!

High performance tennis, my kids are really happy with coach Nestor Briceño. They have been with coach Nestor less than two months and they have improved a lot.

Review №13

Been a member for 15 plus years. Basketball is treated as a second class activity at FAC. They advertise 6 baskets and then allow only 2 to be used because of a money making tool called Waymo. Which, most expensive place to go and then you have to pay even more for use of Tennis courts and programs like Waymo. Why do you have to pay extra for a crossfit class when youre already paying a monthly fee?

Stopped in to Push Pedal Pull in Fayetteville athletic club to see about getting some equipment from my home. Was a great experience, staff is very attentive and knowledgeable. Theyll work with your budget, can make payments! Highly recommend stopping in and checking them out if your in the market for some home equipment!!

Best gym in Fayetteville! Was in town for a couple months this winter while training for the Olympic Trials Marathon and got a membership here for my time in Fayetteville. The gym has everything I needed for training, including top of the line equipment and locker rooms, and close to running trails around lake Fayetteville. Will certainly renew my membership if Im back in the area in the future

The best family pool experience in NWA! Our family have been members at FAC for many years, and summer after summer we keep coming back to the pool area for many reasons. Whether you have elementary-and-up kids looking for water slides, young children needing to get acclimated to water, grown-ups looking to get laps in at the lap pool, or just a chill place to kick back and relax, FAC has you covered. I personally love the outside covered areas for us grown-ups looking for shade while the kiddos get plenty of swimming in. Thanks for everything FAC, and well definitely continue to be back year after year!

FAC is the best Athletic Club in Fayetteville, AR. The staff is professional and friendly, and they truly care about their membership. The club has been around for a long time, but the ownership is constantly reinvesting and improving both the equipment and the facilities. The friendly faces and friendly staff make this gym feel like a second home to their members! I would highly recommend!

Ive been a member here off and on since its inception. I love this place. I had quit a few years ago since I didnt have the time to take advantage of all the amenities. However, now that Im semi-retired, Im enjoying my workouts, the pool, and the locker room sauna/steam room/whirlpool tub. Im looking forward to starting some of the classes real soon as well. You know its a good place when you leave for a few years, come back, and see the same faces there (both working out and staff).

Fantastic Club! I love the fact that they have full basketball gym and there are always other members who are playing pick up ball. They offer a lot of classes, so i never get board! And the pool during the summer is amazing, Food and drinks served, it’s the best gym in NWA.

If youre looking for a gym theyre all over town. If youre looking for an authentic fitness experience FAC is where you need to get a membership. Theres something for every athletic need or ambition at FAC. Theres highly qualified trainers if thats what you want. If you like your exercise independence and prefer to go solo no one will push you by trying to sell you something you dont want. If you get bored easily theres an incredible variety of equipment and fitness programs FAC. If you just want to chill out, get so me time or take a break from you kids you can do that at FAC. Youll have to put in the effort but you have everything at FAC to help you transform yourself if thats what you want. If you choose you can also meet some wonderful people and make some new friends. They have a great staff so if you ask nice Kevin, Blake or Travis might even throw in a free towel for you to use after your workout!

FAC has been a real landmark in our community for over 17 years! There truly is something for every age group in the family. Im a huge group fitness fan and love the fact that I have over 100 classes to choose from each week. With that variety, I have no excuse not to work out... :)

Review №31

In my opinion its a nice older gym but charge 20 dollars for a day pass. 50 for 10 days..for someone who only goes with friends periodically its just not practical. The staff are nice tho and its a clean facility. Its really just the price thats the downfall. I mainly go for basketball and Idk what a month pass costs but you can definitely go to a few gyms that are more reasonable.

I am a long time member of FAC. The reasons I will continue go go there are simple. First rate staff and the child care are amazing. I dont have to worry about my wife and childrens safety in the gym or on the property when they going there. The facility is a well kept place with first rate modern equipment that my entire family feels at home at.

Nice place and courteous staff but too expensive and I wish they would have a pool only membership. In summer the pool is outside! The other facilities are also quite decent. ANd they have lots of classes for the social types.

Review №39

It’s a holiday weekend and the pool is busier than it’s been all week. When I arrived at 2 pm the smallest kiddie pool had a “pool closed” sign placed in front of it. I went to the front desk to check on the situation and see why it was closed because my baby kept trying to get in it. The manager said that there was a poop accident from a baby earlier in the day and that “someone is on the way to clean it.” Checked back about an hour and a half later and the manager said “I haven’t been able to get the maintenance guy to text me back all day.” So her story changed... first she told me he was on his way and now she says she hasn’t been able to get in touch with him all day. No offer to call the owner or a plan to remedy the problem. Three hours later and the sign is still there and baby poop is still in the pool. Not one bit impressed.

They kicked my husband out after he got sucker punched in the face during a basketball game. We were extremely stunned and disappointed with how they handled the situation. What a confusing message to send to members. We have enjoyed FAC for over 3 years, especially the wonderful women who have watched our son. But a few ownership issues, culminating in them kicking out my husband for an invalid reason will keep me from ever recommending this gym. Their behavior was unacceptable.

I have been utilizing this facility for over a month now. I love the fact that you dont feel intimidated, in fact, its quite the contrary. The staff here go out of their way to make you feel welcome and educated on all of their equipment. I couldnt be more pleased, 5 stars is a no brainer! I tell everyone I know about this place and make sure to check in on Facebook everyday Im there (6 days a week). My only suggestion would be to open as little earlier on the weekends, just an hour earlier on Saturday would allow me to come 7 days a week. Thank you for providing a clean, welcoming, experience. I cant wait to see what the next year brings working out with you guys!

Review №46

When I first started, I thought FAC was great. However... as with any relationship, the flaws start to show over time. The equipment is getting quite dated (who still uses iPod chargers?!?), as is the facility (the tiles are coming off in the mens spa, and the place just looks and smells old).Despite the age, however, they are still charging premium prices --and I just cant justify $80.00 a month for something I can get for much less elsewhere.The final straw was when I went to freeze my account to try and save a few bucks for the holidays, and they charged me an extra month saying I notified them after the 20th. Fine... enjoy the $80, FAC --because its the last youll be getting from me. Ever. Im canceling my membership and finding some place new.

The FAC provides the most amenities of anywhere in NWA (Ive been to them all). It provides all of the same amenities a Life Time fitness for example would offer, but the facility is older and has more of a country club feel. If you like community, fitness, and programming this one is no brainer.

The stringing service is really bad. They wont allow you to use their machines, and will do a poor job. Had two tennis rackets restrung and both had problems with some visibly loose sections.
