In town temporarily, so I decided to look for a gym with a sauna with a short term commitment (i.e. 1 month). This place is absolutely fantastic - the sauna is nice, 24/7 access to the place, wonderful trainers, amazing intake staff; generally compassionate people all around. Fantastic value and a great mom&pop kind of gym. I wish I had a place like this nearby at home in California.

This was an excellent place to spend my visit to Olympia lifting for the week. The facility is stacked with great equipment, it never felt crowded, the locker rooms are substantial with warm showers, and the front desk staff was always helpful and friendly. I observed some good personal training in action and lots of serious lifters. It seems like a great place to grow mentally and physically. I was offered a free week trial which I really enjoyed and appreciated. I hope to visit again.

Great gym with a old school gym feel. Walking in and seeing the staff and it’s members made my wife and I feel like there is a micro community in Whetstone Fitness which convinced us to make the switch here from the YMCA and Planet Fitness. Love the 24hr option. The gym is small but has everything you need and a really nice studio area that they have classes in.

This gym is quality and welcoming. Highly recommend the Empowerment membership if you have fitness goals and want a clear training plan. The set-up sessions covered by the empowerment membership felt high quality and motivating. Can’t recommend enough!

I’m so excited to have found Whetstone!! After learning that my gym was closing last week, I was on the hunt for a new gym. I tried one work out at a “big box” gym that I will not name, and I wasn’t happy there. At all. Whetstone had crossed my mind many times over my 9 years in Olympia, yet I had never walked inside.Yesterday, I FINALLY walked inside tojoin and immediately sighed in relief once inside. Kind of that moment off, “ah hah! This is my gym.” It has that community gym feel in the best possibly way. I was greeted so kindly. As a curvy woman, you’re so often treated with poor service or at least that has been my experience.I’m happy to have found my new gym home!

Nice Facility, with plenty of free weights and machines. The staff is polite, and you can tell its a business that the owner takes pride in. The membership price is competitive, and well worth the price for 24 hr access and the onsite sauna. Only wish the sauna could reach 180-200F.

So I’ve never actually set foot inside this gym but based on interactions with their employees in the parking lot, I can easily say I have no desire to. My kids do BJJ next door and this fitness center constantly has employees being paid to walk through the parking lot to tell people to move their cars so their gym members (who are going to the gym to get fitter) do not have to walk as far for their workout. On top of that, many families are coming into the BJJ place for class with small kids. Those kids shouldn’t have to be walking through a parking lot to get to class because Whetstone claimed almost every convenient parking spot, including the ones in front of the BJJ place.I hope no kids get hit by Whetstones customers. I know I’d personally be willing to help pay attorney fees to sue Whetstone themselves. You’d think they’d work with the parents who are stuck next door for an hour that way they could draw those parents in as added business revenue.

My teen son loves weightlifting and working out. We were searching for a personal trainer for teens who had a good working knowledge of how to best and safely train teens. So far, my son's been to 4 or 5 training sessions, and Donnie has been great. He's a great coach, even offering sound nutritional advice, and even encouraged us to check in with our doc for a second opinion. The staff have been great, and Donnie goes above and beyond to help his clients. I'm really grateful for all the help and coaching he's offered to us. He seems to genuinely care, and has his own genuine experince starting out weightlifting when he was 11 years old. Would highly recommend!

Whetstone is great. I’ve taken classes there and work out regularly in the weight room. Donny, Jolene, Sue, and the rest of the staff are friendly, answer questions, and cool in general. The gym is well laid-out and has everything I need!

I could not be more pleased with this gym. 24 hours, private, feels very safe, no weird big box gym vibes. It's also mostly an older crowd who do not pay any attention to you, and I absolutely love that about it.
