“The most welcome I've felt in a gym as a visibly LGBTQ person.Super friendly and helpful staff, clean locker rooms, and THE BEST treadmills I've found in a planet fitness.Would give you 6 stars if I could, y'all.Keep being awesome. ”

“I’ve been going to Valkyrie for over a month now and I absolutely love it. The classes are motivating and just the right amount of challenge. Most importantly, the coaches really focus on form at this gym. Coach Aleta is always watching us carefully to make sure we’re performing our movements properly and I appreciate that so much. The members at the gym are so so welcoming and friendly and it makes the experience that much greater. Glad I found this gym! ?”

“Great teachers, great location, and I love the classes! I on-boarded with one of GLSC's trainers (shout out to Laura, who is a wonderful trainer and one of my favorite teachers!) to get acquainted with the techniques used during the group classes. Classes are capped at 12 participants, which means coaches can have eyes on you to make sure you're being safe and have good technique. The classes really focus on providing cues for getting the most out of each movement and not injuring yourself. The workouts are scalable, so you can push yourself according to what is best for your body on a given day (although I find that the workouts kick my ass - in a good way - on most days) I'm coming from the world of HIIT workouts, and while GLSC's classes certainly include some HIIT components, I appreciate that a focus of this gym involves barbells (for deadlifts, cleans, snatches, OH presses, etc). I'm a fan of this place and I'm happy to call this my home gym!”

“Highly recommend EFL for anyone at any age or body type. These strength training workouts have been awesome, helped build muscle while getting the cardio in and also helped balance. Dani and Grif offer modifications as needed and correct your form during the workouts to prevent injuries. The best part to me is the relaxed atmosphere - it’s judgement free and everyone is just there to get their best workout in. If you are debating trying it - definitely give it a go!”

“Richard is an amazing trainer! He's fun and professional. He's especially accommodating to my wrist injury. I feel like I get a great work out!He is one in a million! 1000% recommend!”

“I never liked going to gym. I used to hate strength training. The tide has turned and I look forward to going gym now. Thanks to Persistence athletics for making me fall in love with strength training and conditioning.”

“He is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. He also knows how to work with and around injuries, getting you strong enough to achieve your goals. You will see results and will not be disappointed.”

“Kirkland CrossFit is an amazing gym with amazing coaches! After a long break from CrossFit I recently joined KCF, and I am glad I chose them over my former gym. The coaches (Jamie, Erica, Lenore, Jason), do a great job challenging you but are also a lot of fun and just all around great people. The members are all very welcoming and encouraging too! The only regrets I have is not joining sooner.”

“Ryan and Laura in the massage department are incredible. Both are very skilled and able to listen to my specific needs. Would highly recommend both of them for massage”

“Came in here for almost 3 years.One of the best places to understand and work on your fitness. They treat every member like a part of a family. I met amazing coaches and people who I can gladly call friends.If you have questions on nutrition or lifestyle, they gladly help you on that.There are free sessions on powerlifting, stretching and nutrition from time to time if you need work on the basics.”

“This review is long overdue. My wife Julie and I have been taking classes from Shred415 in Bellevue since October of 2023. From the very first class we took and stepped into the studio, we were welcomed by a very friendly and professional staff. The owners Alice and Fadil are the most kindest, friendliest, and genuine people you will ever meet. The team of instructors and staff are there to ensure you have the best experience the moment you walk into their door. Vibe is very welcoming, studio is pristine and clean, equipment is well kept, lots of towels and hand wipes to ensure a clean and fresh environment. You’ll definitely get a full workout if that’s what you’re looking for. If that’s not your jam, there’s no pressure at all from the instructors. They just want you to have a good time. The instructors are very positive, motivating, and inspiring and will take the time to demonstrate each exercise to ensure you have proper form and technique and most of all are having a good time. Alice, Fadil, and the entire Shred415 Bellevue team is all about providing the Best & Exceptional Customer Service 100 percent of the time. We Love it there so much, we’ve invited a lot of our friends to try a first class for Free, which is not the norm for a lot of other exercise places. Once they’ve tried it, they end up coming back for more! Thank You Shred415 Bellevue for treating us and all your members like family.”

“Slate has been a fantastic gym for me for about 3 years. Fitness-wise, I've noticed great gains in strength and mobility. Lifestyle-wise, I've found myself feeling better (re: more happy and energetic) throughout the rest of my day. Community-wise, it's perfect! a balance of friendly competition, coaches that understand and cater to your specific needs, and coaches and clients alike that hang out outside of the gym as well.PS - the coaches really know there sh*t about skeletal and muscular systems. Not only what things are and how they connect, but how to fix/heal them when they hurt.”

“Turns out the motivation I needed to exercise regularly was to feel like a main character - this place does that and more. Super fast-paced so no chance of getting bored, and the boxing may seem intimidating at first but the instructors are fantastic at walking newcomers through the moves. Besides that, the locker rooms/bathrooms are super clean, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming.Highly recommend this place, especially in a city where it's hard to make yourself do physical activity in the dark winter months”

“In my opinion, I’ve always had a fantastic experience. The gym is clean. The staff is always friendly. Very helpful and happy to answer any of my questions about anything.”

“Good place to learn basics of crossfit, friendly coaches, tight but qelcoming community, daily different exercise, see your gain in skill and strength in under 12 weeks. Ample parking, unbeatable location, good long term record, affordable. Can be addictive!”

“I've been a Crossfitter for almost 7 years and a regular member at TPH for almost 2 years. TPH is hands down my favorite of the Crossfit gyms I've worked out at. The coaching is top notch, with a focus on safety and scaling workouts to meet the needs of each individual. The programming is thoughtful, with clearly-defined training cycles and routine retesting to measure our progress. And last but not least, the community is extremely friendly and supportive.”

“I've been going to PUSH for a year now. It honestly just keeps getting better. The programming is super intentional. The coaches are knowledgeable, fun, and welcoming. The community and community events are the best I've ever been a part of and I've been doing CrossFit for a decade.”

“Training here with Lo was a great experience. It is nice having physical training to look forward to every week and she is very knowledgeable about the best exercises for your personal goals. Whether that goal is a certain physique or rehabilitation. Very responsive and no weird corporate vibes from this place at all, highly recommended.”

“Experience Momentum at Mill Creek is a great place for CrossFit classes or to be seen by a Physical Therapist. The facility is nicely laid out has lots of light and also has showers and you're always greeted with a smile.Stephanie my main coach who is also a Physical Therapist has always guided me along in a quiet way but still holding me accountable so I improve, making sure your form is correct and you build strength.I've also taken other classes from Kyle, Gale and Dan each has their own coaching style but every one of them will help you get the work done.I was having shoulder pain and Dan helped me get movement back into that shoulder in a short time with his focused exercise approach. If you want results for overall health consider Experiance Momentum you will be glad you did.”

“Awesome gym! The owners are lovely people who are passionate about what they do. The gym is clean and has all the equipment you could want. The pricing is also very reasonable.”

“Awesome place for semi-private personal training and group classes. Britt is one of the best coaches I've worked with!! Their masterclass program coached by Natalie is super fun and helpful.”

“My wife and I were traveling in the area and we wanted a place to get our CrossFit fix. Lynnwood CrossFit was fairly close to the hotel we were staying in and their website was very helpful with good information about class schedule and what workout to expect. We went to a 7am class where they were training squat cleans. The instructor was an experienced level 2 who had been doing CrossFit over a decade. The owner was helping private clients but made sure to say hello to us. The class was fun, the community welcoming, and the equipment was fairly clean and well maintained. This is a good example of a well run local CrossFit box.”

“This is the only gym you should join! The ownership and staff are amazing. This is by gar the cleanest gym I've ever been a member of. The staff is very friendly, helpful, and the BEST coaches I've ever come to know. The equipment is always clean and ready to use. Some gyms go cheap and have old Olympic bars, weights, dumbbells, kettlebells, etc, not Invictus Seattle. They do a lot for their members. It doesn't feel transactional. The community involvement is heart warming and the members who workout there are very down to earth people. This is not a Bro gym, it's a wonderful community of people who care, share their knowledge, and fitness experience thoughtfully. I live in Sammamish (Klahanie neighborhood) and drive 25 minutes to be with this community of people who take health and fitness seriously while enjoying the journey of life. Sign up today!”

“I met Luke when I was looking for a personal trainer to help with my rehab after a knee surgery. I wanted to transition from Physiotherapy focusing just on my knee to being able to exercise my full body again. I find it really hard to make time for exercise with a very busy work schedule. Luke has been amazing on this journey, he is very supportive, approaches our training holistically, paying attention to not only the progress in my body but also my overall motivation and wellbeing. Not only Luke but the whole team here are approachable and friendly. The environment is not intimidating at all, they cater for a large variety of clients ranging from professional athletes to those who simply need to learn how to use their body and exercise. I can now jog again and keep learning more about how to take care of my body.”

“This is by far the best gym I have ever been to. I was only living in the area for six months, but I learned so much and became so much stronger in that time. Lance and the other trainers are fantastic, and with such small classes you have a lot of one-on-one coaching. The exercises are also really adaptable to your fitness level and Lance is always thoughtful about modifying to address any injuries. Also, the other members are great and very welcoming. I have missed this gym a lot since I moved, but it set me up with a strong foundation of fitness and form for the future. Can't recommend it enough!”

“Before deciding on EBCF, I visited all 7 other Crossfit gyms in Seattle. I initially decided that it offered the best programming and seemed to have a good community but I didn't realize the extent to which those were true. During my year and a half with them I developed life long friends and also improved in almost every skill. I came in not being able to do a bar muscle up and now I can consistently do 40 in a workout and it's not like I am new to Crossfit. I have been doing it since 2016, but Rohan knows how to push everyone in the gym. I could not recommend EBCF enough.”

“TruFusion is an amazing place that has really ignited a fire in me to start a fitness journey. The environment is SO supportive and welcoming, no matter what you look like, or how fit you are. The instructors are very encouraging and the classes are easy to follow. You’re encouraged to go at your own pace and never made to feel bad if you can’t keep up. I love the variety they offer, and the hot classes are AMAZING. They have ample lockers and the locker rooms are nice. The mat and towel rentals are nice to have. Overall, it’s been worth every penny and for the first time in my life I look forward to working out!”

“My first experience with CrossFit, worried that I should already look the part and act a certain way, I was pleasantly surprised to find that CFPR is truly a welcoming environment for everyone! All shapes and sizes, all abilities and strengths are embraced wholly and without judgement. Workouts are catered to meet each individual's need for their own, personal strength and exercise journey. Coaches are mindful, friendly and motivating. Examples and modifications are offered, tips and best practices are suggested and you are set to get as much as you want out of your time in the gym.”

“Magnolia CrossFit earns my highest recommendation. As someone new to CrossFit, I was looking for a gym in my local community to challenge me. Magnolia CrossFit has exceeded those expectations. The staff is friendly, supportive and dynamic; going above and beyond to offer a variety of classes for different skill sets, at different times, to cater to everyone. Magnolia CrossFit is a valuable member to the Magnolia Village as well, trying to better the community through fitness, and I hope they're a mainstay in the neighborhood for decades to come!”

“This is the only gym/group fitness class that has ever worked for me. I started last year at age 44, overweight and totally out of shape. I joined with the sole goal of getting stronger. The coaches welcomed and encouraged me the entire way. I'm now down 20pounds, and in better shape than I was 10 years ago. The people are great - everyone's just there to work. It's all ages, all body types, so no judgment. Sam the owner is the best - she'll push you just enough to challenge yourself without getting discouraged or injured. I'm so grateful I finally found something that works for me!”
