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!

Great gym with great trainers and members. Everyone is serious about their workouts, but in a supportive, non-competitive way. Trainers are quite careful about form and injury prevention.

What a wonderful gym! Clean, with top-notch equipment and good vibes! I'm using it for obstacle course race training, and it's working well, especially since it has a place to practice rope climbing

Great coaches and facilities, flexible enough for my schedule with an infant. 5:00 am classes are not something I would have pictured for myself a short while ago, but I’m glad they have them. Classes cap out at 12, so there’s a lot of individual attention from coaches (I’ve definitely needed some coaching). Open gym slots are also available. Great community-oriented spot with involved owners. Glad to be part of it! I joined in August 2023.

I've been a member of this Gym for over 6 months. My experience has been extremely positive and I highly recommend joining. The gym offers group strength and conditioning classes, personal training, and an individualized design. As a busy professional, I love the individualized design where I get to work out with a smaller group, have access to my own coach who helps me with my goal setting, accountability, and who also creates a personalized workout that I've been quite successful in following.The location is very convenient and the gym itself is clean, extremely well equipped, and the staff has been nothing but helpful and welcoming. They also have a great tech stack, I book my workouts on an app and my individualized exercise program gets sent to my phone, where I've been able to track my progress. All in all, it's been a great experience and I look forward to continue what feels like a partnership in my health and fitness with GLSC. My only regret is not having joined sooner!

GLSC has a great community, owners, and coaches, and is truly welcoming to all skill levels. I was initially hesitant to try it out given that I had barely stepped foot in any gym in many, many years. I had almost no experience in strength training. I ran and did some small weight exercises at home, but I had definitely hit a fitness plateau. My husband is a member, and I was inspired by the results he was getting, so I decided to give it a try.I went through the on-ramp beginner course, which was very comprehensive, gave me the confidence to join group classes, and was also a great way to meet fellow members. I attend group classes every week, and appreciate how the coaches provide guidance on how to improve your form and modify exercises when needed, and there's never any pressure to lift more than you're comfortable with. There's a lot of support and camaraderie from other members.If you had told me months ago that I would be going to 6am strength and conditioning workouts every week and enjoying it, I would not have believed you. I highly recommend GLSC, and I'm really glad that I joined!

Green Lake Strength & Conditioning Gym has been a wonderful community. The owners care about their members treats them as family. They have created an environment that feels safe, comfortable, believes in you, wants you to grow, helps you with your goals. I 10/10 recommend.

I joined Green Lake Strength & Conditioning a few months ago and have been really happy so far. The coaches are excellent! The size of the classes is perfect for the space. The class timings work really well. I love the "Question of the day" concept, it's a great ice-breaker and helps getting to know the other members. I would recommend anyone in the area looking for a gym to join this one.

Best strength and training gym in Seattle ! I have been coming here now for 6 months and I am so glad to have found this place for so many reasons: the open welcoming space, the people that come here to work out and just have fun, and the coaches are amazing and support you all the way through!!

GLSC has created an awesome, inclusive, accessible culture for people who are interested in starting or improving their fitness journey. If you're someone who hasn't lifted much before or wants more structure into your routine, this is an excellent gym to try. They put on a wonderful on-ramp class to teach you the basics and allow you to feel comfortable when starting group classes.

Great gym. 5 squat racks (including 3 with powerlifting bumper sizes), reasonably priced. Don’t let the “make appointment” language intimidate you from going in as a guest — they have a staffed front desk, you just need to ring the bell

I joined the personalized small group classes. You start with 4 session 1 on 1 in person with a trainer who assesses your fitness levels, your goals and any special needs around injuries. Then your coach creates custom plans for you monthly that you work on in small group classes supervised by a coach.My trainer is Chassi, who considered my previous recurring back injuries and PT advice. Thanks to the slow but steady ramp upI'm in one of the longest pain free workout stretches I’ve had. I’m almost 2 months in working out 3x/week. I look forward to working out more and find it energizing. I’m liking that I burn more fat than I used to. Previously I’d hit peak in just the warm up of the regular CrossFit classes and I’d feel nauseous by the end of the class. I feel a good kind of tired now, no nausea.My favorite small group class coach is Zeyab who proactively corrects your form and conducts a group warm up before we all do our own personal plans.

I've been a member of Green Lake Strength and Conditioning for about a year, and can't say enough good things about the gym. When I joined GLSC, I had plateaued from working out at home and was constantly nursing some sort of injury. The workouts at GLSC are challenging but also built to be sustainable. I've never had an injury here, can finally run pain free, and can lift more than I ever imagined I'd be able to.The coaches are not only knowledgable but incredibly kind and fun. They foster an environment where you feel comfortable to push yourself and are always willing to provide modifications.But, honestly the best part of the gym is the incredible community. This gym has become my third place. I always look forward to catching up with members who have become friends. This gym has made Seattle feel like home for me.If you're looking for challenging but fun workouts, a welcoming community, and supportive coaches, then GLSC is the place for you!

I have been a member with GLSC for just over a year now. The owners and coaches are all very passionate and accepting of meeting members wherever they are in the their fitness journey. The main workouts are CrossFit- like, but they also offer an array of other classes/ workshops to meet member’s input and interests.I have also never been a member at a gym that prides itself of building and creating a sense of community with the members and neighbors.If you are looking for a gym that is inclusive - community focused and has coaches that are not only able to see you and where you are today, in your fitness journey, but your potential and encourages you to meet/ exceed it at each class; this is your gym.

GLSC is an incredible gym! All the coaches are super nice and attentive to everybody’s form. There is always a scale or modification for the workout and coaches are always checking to make sure your form is correct and will not cause injury. There is a healthy vibe within the gym of trying to push each other without overdoing it. Gym members are all incredible nice and welcoming and help create a super positive atmosphere
