There are lots of choices for health and fitness in the Olympia area and I have tried many of them…read more I've settled in at Spring because Havala's Pilates instruction provides the type of functional strength training that I believe will allow me to remain active and fit well into my advanced years. The emphasis is on proper body posture, alignment, flexibility, coordination, symmetry and balance. Yet the workout is not regimented, but fun and relaxing. You can choose private instruction, which is pricey but tailored to your individual schedule, preferences and abilities, or for a more cost effective alternative Havala will pair you up with one or two other clients for a scheduled class. The studio is conveniently located and has a soothing ambience. Parking on the street is easy and inexpensive. It is very close to Capital Lake and I often enjoy a walk or run around the lake after class to round out my workout.

I've been working with Lily as my personal trainer for 2 1/2 years and my two goals were to get…read morestrong and to not get injured. She and I have accomplished both of these goals. But I think the thing that really amazes me is how she is able to work with me as an individual and with my small group personal training sessions and still manage to keep everybody's individual needs, limitations and goals in the forefront of her mind. And she does it with an absolutely encouraging, positive attitude that never wavers. I am 55 years old and the strongest I've ever been in my life. I feel proud of that and I feel so deeply grateful to Lily for making it possible. I could not have done it without her. I should also add that the gym itself feels so supportive and inclusive. I'm always happy to go!

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Equipment was organized and neatly stacked in individual workstations. The week before I arrived I had emailed Juanita to let her know I'd be dropping in. She responded right away and sent me the class schedule so I could plan accordingly. Classes started and ended promptly. Metered parking on the street, but it's very cheap. Thanks for making my first drop-in experience a great one!

Gyrotonic uses what looks like a wooden lat machine and what resembles a modified weight bench. The exercises are very precise, don't involve jerking heavy weights around, and were originally designed to help dancers become more flexible. The exercises are perfect for people who sit all day -- a great way to un-kink the back. Also, it's very good stress relief and good core strengthening. If you're looking to try something different, give this a shot.

Sarah Hartman is the best trainer, coach, "counselor" you will ever find…read more I am a 62 year old female who just needed some workout help when I met Sarah. She was fabulous and with each session she was prepared and knew exactly what I needed to develop muscles and maintain a healthy body. She taught me "gym" skills I will never forget and confidence to work with weights and understand my body, showing me how to improve it. Little did I know that I was in need of a complete hip replacement at the time. While I waited for my surgery, she worked with me to keep my body strong and muscles toned so that my recovery would be the best possible. Six weeks after my surgery I returned back to Sarah (weaker, and unsure if I would ever be the same). Her training techniques and exercises were designed just for me and I became stronger and more confident. She understood how to correctly help me and not only manage my physical needs but also my mental fear of having a new hip. I am now able to walk better and use my left side (new hip) just as I do my right side. She is the best. I could go on and on about her expertise, fabulous people skills, outstanding knowledge of every exercise, weight, and technique to help her clients. I highly recommend Sarah to anyone, at any age, in any physical condition as a trainer and coach. You will not be disappointed!

There is a solid variety of equipment for all types of workouts, and the salt water pool is a huge bonus! It's clean, well-maintained, and perfect for both exercise and recovery.

After many years of being active but not knowing what best works for my body, counting calories,…read morenever really losing body fat, and wondering what exactly the right eating plan was I was referred by a friend to Amanda. I had a wonderful experience with her personal training sessions. She is down to earth and unlike any other fitness coach I have met. She was realistic, organized, punctual, readily available, encouraging, flexible, and informative. Amanda knows her stuff. There were times in the beginning, when I started eating the way she suggested and I started freaking out feeling like it was unmanageable but she would talk me through it and I came through the experience with a much better understanding of food. I finally, after 44 years, feel at peace with food without tracking and counting calories. No longer do I obsess over certain foods. Amanda teaches you what your body needs (and it isn't cutting entire food groups out). She taught me awesome weight lifting exercises and body strength exercises too. What she taught me I can use at home or any gym. She didn't lead me on trying to hook me into buying more sessions - she simply taught, gave me copies of what she taught, and moved on to the next session. She explained a lot about stretching, taking care of your body after workouts, and more. Amanda delivered everything promised and more. I walked away with a new understanding of how to fuel my body, without going hungry, and what the best workouts are. She kicked my butt in the gym but was encouraging the entire time - she made me want to push myself but not in a mean way. Her gym is awesome - everything you need to get fit. I can't say enough good things about Amanda. I would highly recommend her. She is very personable and friendly yet professional. Definitely a good personal trainer for any age or gender. She knows her stuff and will get you in shape if you listen to her and work hard. I am down several lbs, clothes are looser, feeling good about myself, getting strong, and no longer obsessing over counting calories or the latest fad diet. She has given me sanity in the health department and I can't put a price tag on that.
