Very patient with me, friendly, does a great job .
Great pool and good facility. Love the cleanliness and the other members are encouraging.
Help with a lost child bag. Staff is very friendly and polite.
Great facility with awesome perks good for families as well
The classes are great. The instructions are great. The instructor help me alot working the type of muscles I want.
Great place to get your workout done. Constant cleaning and social distancing makes for a relaxed atmosphere.
I really enjoy this gym for many reasons. The first being that there arent many people that are at it at any given time. Next most of the people that do go are older and very respectful of each other and the machinery. They have classes which are quite fun as well as staff that give instruction on how to use machines and what to focus on.
Great Place to go for a great workout
Love this place wish it was open 24/7
Great workout facility
The lady at the front desk is rude
Very old equipment. One new cable machine and a double sided power rack in over a decade is all thats modern. No specialty barbells and the barbells they have are of low quality. They do have a sauna and whirlpool otherwise 1 star. They are clean but membership is $52/month have you have to have a year contract. $99 to cancel contract early. Most people get a 15%-%30 discount which would be $44 - $36/month. This is very expensive compared to the other local facilities. So unless you cannot live without a sauna you should look elsewhere.
Still a great place to work out always clean and friendly.I spent year at planet fitness and decided to come back to Marvin Altman for the showers, whirlpool and swimming poolOn my return first thing ..I noticed how much better the exercise equipment was at Marvin Altmans then planet fitnessI am talking they are hundred percent better made .There is no comparison Im glad Im back...
The place is clean and the patrons are a respectful bunch. I love the sauna & pool. The employees are super helpful.
Always have liked this place to be the best gym in fort smith. It just cost to much for everybody to members here. There are more affortable ones
Its a reasonable price and I can take my kids to family swim time so they can swim and play in the pool
It needs a complete remodel!!! The staff however are friendly. The classes are fun and the equipment always worked well when I belonged there. I just the price is a bit steep for what you get in return. It just needs a major overhaul! It needs new equipment and new interior design. It’s 2019! It’s time for a change.
Have been going here since I was a kid, absolutely love this gym.
The staff is helpfulI like the large pool and hot tubThe equipment is easy to use. I get a good workout.
Great place to work out when Im in town!!!!! Great staff and helpful!!!!! Very clean and well organized!!!!!
The Blonde fat lady up front called me a liar within the first 20 words she spoke to me.
Prices are high relative to comparable places in Fort Smith, however, seems to be cleaner and well maintained. Customer service is extremely hit or miss. They seem to only be friendly with people they know. The lady who runs it only ever will speak through her employees and completely refuses to speak with customers. They do make have many classes available to their members. Things that are good are very good but the way they treat customers is poor. Three stars.
I love it there
Christy was amazing with over the phone information and customer service!!! So patient and helpful with all my questions. Suggested the best membership options for my situation and was super friendly! Great job Baptist Health, Christy is a keeper!!!
Finest jam Ive ever been to
Good place to go whether exercises, walking trail, swimming, hot tub or sauna. They have it all and also great staff.
The classes were great but when it was time to cancel, they added a fee to my account. They couldnt give me a reason as to the late fee. They claimed it was payment related but would not accept anything from the bank showing that the payment was never declined in order to waive it. This payment had been on auto draft and had never had an issue. The manager behind the desk simply said that it didnt matter because even if it was an error they do not waive the $25 fee they gave me. They simply dont do that. Very disappointed at the way they handled this. After completing my year,I went ahead and paid the full amount just to end it today.Once again, the classes were great when I attended but the unexplainable, doesnt matter if it was our error attitude really stuck with me. I dont like surprise fees, especially when i am told that i can prove my innocence but the fee stays.
Its a reasonably priced fitness center located at the back enterance area of Sparks Hospital. Enjoy your choice of training programs to suit your needs for your personal goals they have a huge swimming pool. Also try the sauna or hot tub located in the locker room area. You can also enjoy yoga if you take the elevator, near the receptionist, its only a short ride one floor up. Have fun getting fit at Marvin Altmans fitness center its always an enjoyable experience for me hope to see you soon!
LOVE the staff, LOVE the fact that it isnt a hangout or go to meet people. It is a fitness center to help you get healthy and stay healthy. I do wish there was a co-ed hot tub out by the pool so me and the hubby could relax together after our workout. No it isnt all blingy, the facility is always in good working order as well as clean. Except for the nasty slobs that go in and junk the place up, the staff can only make so many trips to pick up towels in a shift. PICK UP AFTER YOURSELF, YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ADULTS! I love being part of Marvin Altman fitness center! Keep up the good work!
It is a well managed facility & it boasts an Olympic size pool as well as a Sauna and Whirlpool, showers, locker room.I like that it is a safe place to work out and isnt overrun by grunting shouting 21 gun salutes.The price per month is a little high but worth it if you like to swim laps.
Clean gym with lots of equipment, great pool and no crowds.
Good gym. Cheaper than mercy fitness. Biggest drawback for me its that there is only one squat rack, so I often have to wait for someone to finish using it.Pool is also good if you dont mind waiting for someone to get out and free up a lane.Plenty of cardio machines...
This place is my church. I love to work out, and I just love the atmosphere of this place. I go almost every day, and feel lost when I have to miss. Its my favorite place to be.
Its a good place to build up your body and meet good people
Good gym no roid rage. Much cleaner now that they have a new cleaning lady.
Great facility plenty of equipment and the kids swim class is awesome with a great teacher/instructor.
I really enjoy the aquatic classes.
New equipment very clean nice friendly staff and a great variety classes to choose from.
Awesome gym, just wish they were 24hr gym.
Love this place enough equipment to do a total body transformation
I use to love going here after work when I worked at Sparks.i sure do miss it, but couldnt afford it after i quit, no discount
Always great.
Love this place. Great staff.
Not a good place for heated pool therapy. They have a section for that in their indoor pool with ramp so I was excited at the possibility. They charge more than other places for this in town but the people seemed friendly, it had a ramp rather than a lift that is hard to obtain and they said it was heated satisfactorily for physician required pool therapy. I explained my neurodegenerative condition. The pool is not heated adequately per heated PT therapy standards for anyone with a condition that would actually require it not just prefer it including arthritis, neurodegenerative, connective tissue disorders, muscle spasms, etc. so it caused me severe muscle spasming and joint subluxations that required weeks to recover from. I expressed this concern and was told the heater was temporarily malfunctioning and was now fixed. So I tried again. Same result, weeks to recover and be able to get out of bed. I asked for a refund from the manager. Was told I would get a full refund considering the extenuating circumstances. Only received a partial refund and they said they charged me for two months I had membership. Only had membership for month and a half and all that time except 3 thirty min visits to the pool were spent in bed recovering from the damage the pool did to me. Very disappointed that they promised a full refund and then didnt deliver. Very disappointed I spent hundreds of dollars on this expensive lesson that the local hospital gym does not support my need to do medical heated pool therapy to reduce my muscle atrophy. I guess they dont keep it heated enough-90 degrees is what it should be-because of the swimmers on the other side of the same pool but they do not represent that upfront. I went there to save money because I didnt have the money for daily PT copays especially when I cant even do enough to warrant a physical therapist and instead lost a bunch of money I didnt have getting hurt. The only good I will say is its good they have a ramp although watch out at the end of the ramp where it connects to the pool there is a large lip that I tripped on all three times which also hurt me. Also good is the people are friendly there but in the end, not helpful enough.Adding an edit: They did in the end after calling the manager multiple times give me close to a full refund. Thank you for that.
De only thing I dont like is theres no mirrors on de main floor only in class rooms. I like to watch what Im doing, it helps keep a proper form & training to do de exercises properly I think that would help prevent an injury which is surprising that being said because its de hospital & I would think that they would fit that into place somewhere (mirrors in de main floor with de machines & weights). Noticed that de staff doesnt really clean de whirl pool in de womens lockers. One day they told me they empty it half way & scrub de edges & fill it uP but several months went by & they were just dumping de water & filling it. I put a note in de suggestion box. Months have past & nothing changed. Ive been busy lately used to go everyday during de summer. Havent stopped because of difficult employees but I do have more options now & have been busy for awhile.
Nice employees. They really try to help you with any questions you might have
Nice, clean facility. Great staff. Clean pool.
Friendly staff, enough and varied equipment, many classes at different times, childcare.
Great place to work out. Has a swimming pool, sauna, and hot tub.
Best gym in town with the best staff!
Huge variety of equipment, nice pool for family.
Customer service is horrible. Front desk staff are rude and unwelcoming. This place is more of a social gathering than a gym. Plenty of better options around town
Good place to work out. Still needs a little updating.
My favorite place to work out,pool time,spa and sauna
Great fitness center.
Not a member anymore. Nuff said.
This place is in need of some serious remodel, like, it needed it 15 years ago.Locker area, showers, sauna and most equipment (not all) are in great need to being worked on or remodeled.Most areas (locker rooms) look dirty and unkept
I love it there. I exercise everyday.
Clean and great people will be goung back monthly
Ployees were very polite and professional
