Pine Lake Village

I'd like to point out, that I believe most members are Microsoft employees or families, so they are paid by Microsoft, not by themselves. I had membership with this club, paid by myself, since I'm not a Microsoft employee, well, anymore. It's a totally rip-off! Single membership is over $110 and family rate is around $170! There is one 24-Hours gum close to Fred Meyer and it costs a fraction and it has better facilities. I closed my account at Pine Lake Columbia Club right after 24-Hour was open. My advice is - stay away from this club unless: 1. It's paid by your company 2. You have way too much money to spend. more

It may not have a huge spa with valet parking, but the Pine Lake Club has what you need to get in shape. The equipment is refreshed regularly and is kept well maintained. The fitness staff are very knowledgable, and even open minded to alternative fitness philosophies. The clientele in general seem serious about their workout as opposed to, e.g. looking for dates. I've seen everyone from high school athletes to young moms to professionals to committed bodybuilders. I've recently started taking some of the fitness classes they offer for free to members - they're great, and I'm seeing really impressive results in their adaptation of the ""Body Pump"" methodology. The Mind Body classes are extra ($5 apiece or $15/month) but offer a good variety of yoga, pilates courses. I really enjoyed the yoga course I took. Pros: staff, classes, equipment Cons: dated facility, limited parking more

While PLC may not have the depth of the ProClub the staff is top notch and there is not an ounce of snobbiness there. Families are welcome and people are there to get fit and pursue their personal fitness goals. No hard sell or hidden costs. Pros: great hours, family friendly, approachable staff Cons: so so parking, some programs limited more
