BIG KUDOS! I would like to send a big shout-out to the staff at Emerald City…read moreAthletic Club to go beyond to help a fellow member. I have been going to this establishment for 16 years and I could not be happier. The club put a lot of money into recent renovations and upgrades. It is up to standards with state-of-the-art equipment. Whether a person chooses to use the machinery for cardiovascular purposes, muscle strength, or weight loss, this is the ideal place to achieve your fitness goals! It simply is not possible to walk out the door without feeling a profound sense of accomplishment and better overall health. The best part of all is the staff. I have had Cerebral Palsy all my life. I have had to make do with one wheelchair to use both inside my home and in my car. It was in bad shape. There is a wonderful maintenance lady by the name of Jen H. surprised me and gave me a cool wheelchair that she had at home. This chair was brand new and is a great chair for me to utilize at home. But the kindness and compassion did not stop there. My old wheelchair was in desperate need of an overhaul. She went ahead and ordered me a new seat for the chair and new armrests. Now, I can feel more at ease knowing I have extra reinforcements with new and sturdy material. Now I have both a wheelchair for my house and one for my car that I can use at the gym. That made my life so much easier. Jenn and a courteous staff member by the name of John Y. volunteered their time and installed both items for me right there at the club. The staff is so caring and friendly, and they do put the customer first as you can see. There is also a friendly lady who works at the front desk named Jenny V. who helps me put my wheelchair in my car when I am ready to leave at the end of the day. The staff at this club makes me feel like I matter. They are like family to me. I am committed to being a lifelong member of this gym. I give my highest regards and recommendations to this staff and cannot speak highly enough about them. If you are looking for a new gym, please go to the Emerald City Athletic Club. You will not be disappointed.

If it were possible to leave a 0 star review I would. Save…read moreyour money, time, and energy and go literally to any other gym. The draw for ECA over big places like LA/24 hour was the smaller business vibe & I wanted to "shop local". I also liked the childcare options. 1. when we signed up at the Ballinger Village location with Brody, he made a big show of telling us (my husband and I) how they're a small business and they're not out to get money, he said most of them are just personal trainers or nutritionists, NOT BUSINESSMEN (i remember this line because he repeated it several times). So he encouraged me to sign up for the champions class. I asked specifically if I could cancel if it didn't fit my needs/baby schedule. He said "of course. But I'd recommend you try it for at least 60 days so you can really see if it works for you. And if you still need to cancel, just reach out. We're really chill here." This was near verbatim. 2. After more than a couple months, I found the champions class great for others but not for me/my toddler's schedule so I emailed to cancel which was the ONLY option I was given. And the email response was short, rude, and included a "$299 + tax downgrade fee" for the cancellation. Mind you, I wasn't trying to cancel our membership. Just MY champions access. I told them what Brody had told us just months prior and they absolutely didn't budge. That's fine. It's policy - I get it. But this is totally the kind of stuff big businesses pull and they should be up front. 3. We ended up completely cancelling our memberships (both of us) because we thought this way of business was shady and when you think about the cost and what they offer v. what big gyms offer (LA/24) then you'll realize it's absolutely not worth it. all that talk in the beginning is EXACTLY what it sounds like. a sales pitch. don't be sucked in. oh also. i left a review for ballinger which i think is their newest but i usually go to everett (my husband goes to ballinger and I've been a couple times) - uniquely to the everett location, everything is disgusting. I would NOT shower there if I were you. At least one different machine is broken every week, the bathroom is perpetually wet probably because they have no paper towels. Honestly we go to 24 hour now and it's a breath of fresh air. literally **I will say the teachers at the childcare are above and beyond. I have told everyone I know about our ECA experience and hopefully saved people quite a bit of $$$ but I have nothing negative to say about the teachers at childcare. ** in case my review is too long. read this reddit forum. https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/oanvzy/emerald_city_athletics_a_toxic_manipulative_and/

This is a brand new studio in the Everett area offering several types of fitness classes including…read morecycling, yoga, cardio dance, bootcamp, and some specialty pop up classes that focus on specific areas of the body that you may want to target. I've loved all of the classes that I have taken and the instructors are some of the best I've ever had in the industry. What I really like about this studio is their focus on the whole mind and body. What I really, really love about this place is the sense of community that has been created by the owner, instructors, and the staff. I always look forward to my workout and of course, I always feel phenomenal after my workout.

I can't speak highly enough about the culture and environment that Coaches Jeff and Leah have created! Their workouts are fun and uplifting, their advice is technically sound, and the atmosphere they cultivate is motivating and breeds health and wellness. As a healthcare provider, I will continue to send my patients to North Corner Studios because they will achieve their goals in a healthy way, have less chance for injuries with the form and cues that Jeff and Leah will teach them and they will definitely have fun along the way! If you are looking for a gym in the Everett area, look no further than NCS. This will soon be THE place to be for anyone and everyone looking to improve or maintain their health!

My boyfriend Cody and his buddy Euzel have known Joel the owner of the Armory for a few years now…read more They worked out with him when he was a trainer at ECA. Since then, they have followed him up to his new gym! I swung by a couple of Saturdays ago and did a 30 min workout here with the guys. I didn't know what to expect, especially since I have never been to a crossfit gym before. Our workout that morning was more conditioning exercises and I actually enjoyed it! We did the 9 AM workout with Coach Anna. I struggled with push presses and Joel and Anna were there to walk me through the movements when my form was not correct. Thank you! Cody was sore the following days and could barely lift his arms. I was decently sore as well. Meaning it was a great workout and it was only 30 min! It is a great space, very clean, and the coaches are very enthusiastic for you to be there! I'll definitely go by again when I am around on the weekends more!

Not only are they full of warm, friendly, and down to earth people, but they also provided the best fitness experience in terms of coaching, professionalism, and overall excellence. Not naming names, but other gyms I tried just pointed to the board to indicate the warmup and the coach spent the whole class rolling out vs actually coaching. From the coaching to the programming, from the facility (the gym is ALWAYS clean which is no small feat) to community engagement, and class experience, Mitch, the owner of The Loop, makes it clear that he is committed to constantly improving for the sake of his clients and community. Give them a shot!

I live in Arizona but spend about 3 months out of the year in Lake Stevens. Every time I walk in the door I'm greeted with genuine smiles, happy to welcome me back (from both the staff and the members) My favorite thing about the Loop is the excellent coaching and explanation before a workout begins. They breakdown the moves we'll be doing so even a beginner can grasp the concept and not feel overwhelmed or discouraged because they don't fluently speak CrossFit. The workouts are designed to leave you feeling challenged and accomplished with both strength and cardio elements built in. I leave feeling strong and energized. If you're on the fence about visiting, don't be. Take the plunge, you won't regret it and you're guaranteed to leave better than you arrived.

As for many people, I was burnt out of trying to come up with workouts for myself since I am not a professional; that is why I looked into joining Crossfit Advantage. There are classes all day long. I can come virtually at any time between 6am to 8pm and get a well structured, challenging workout in with certified coaches. Whats better than that? RESULTS!

I was so fed up with the atmosphere at my typical gym I was at and tired of people thinking they're better than everyone else and judging anyone and everyone who walked in the door so eventually I gave in and got a membership at IronHide and I am sooo happy I did. I will never be able to go back to a regular gym again. This gym is simply amazing. The minute I walked in the door I felt welcomed and immediately felt supported. There are people of ALL skill levels and all shapes and sizes and everyone is there to help you and push you to your best. I love that no matter who you are, what you look like or what your story is, no one is here to judge you, they're here to support you and help you not only reach your goals but exceed your goals. The competitiveness helps push me past what I ever thought I could do and I love every bit of it. The owners really care for you as a person and don't see you as just another number in their gym and you don't see that elsewhere. This place makes everyone feel like family and I couldn't ask for a better support system while working out or just when I need to vent. I know anyone at this gym will be there for me if I needed anything. I love to have fun while also being competitive when I'm working out and this place checks all the boxes. Come visit you will not regret it!
