About us

The Health Experience Athletic Club, Inc. was established March 15, 1985 in Vancouver, Washington by three brothers, who became partners; Nelson, Joe and Larry M. Melo. The Health Experience is a provider of quality fitness, recreation, and member services. We were the first club in Southwest Washington to offer, co-ed and private women's fitness all under one roof.  The Health Experience has established itself as an innovator of member services in the local marketplace.

The Health Experience has an awesome 32 foot high, indoor climbing wall.  This realistic amenity will allow you to cross-train, challenge your self and build core strength.  Climbing on the Rockwall is a great way to mix things up and keep your workouts fun and motivating.

Since 1985, the Health Experience has successfully maintained its commitment to its members and clients by continually investing back into its facilities, programming, equipment and most of all staff. The success of Health Experience is attributed to its staff. Their commitment, knowledge, loyalty and professionalism provide members and clients with the optimum "health experience."

The Health Experience is a current member of IHRSA, worldwide organization of quality health and recreation clubs. The organization provides reciprocal access for members to over 2,000 quality clubs world wide.
