As a physical therapist, strength and conditioning specialist, and lifetime athlete, my standards for exercise programs are very high, and GSF is the only place around that I've found that meets them. In fact, I found them during a period of time when I was sampling various different fitness facilities. They have programs for just about everybody, and can tailor programs to individuals based on sport, injury, age, disability, etc, which by itself is a rarity. What I'm most impressed about is the "programming," which is basically the scientific periodization behind how they continually create and evolve their workouts. I often ask about the intent behind workouts or specific exercises, and I'm always impressed by the depth of thought that goes into the purpose of each and every exercise, and how it changes continually. The staff are great, and unlike gyms or clubs whose primary purpose is to make as much profit as possibly by upselling training packages or other things, GSF is most interested in helping every individual improve themselves and reach their goals. First workout is free, and the for what you get, the prices are great!

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.

I couldn't find a schedule online, but there are group classes (in trios) available daily. They have a billboard with the schedule in their facility. The STEAL: (4) private classes for $150+ tax. Who wouldn't do this? Intro new student offer only. I am classically trained so Stott was new. I'm still not sure exactly the difference, but I asked for a burn and I got it from Randy! I love that they use small weights while on the reformer for leg exercises. Trio classes are $35+ tax as a drop-in fee so they can be as low as $25 if purchased in a class series. My trio class was with Kelsey and I would definitely also go back to her. The studio is clean and equipment is clean. I've found that pilates instructors are hit and miss, so 2 for 2? I'll take it and I'll be back.

I gave this gym a try and really didn't enjoy my time there. I am surprised by the reviews about…read morethis being an inviting community. When I walked in, it was a very "Seattle Freeze" community. If you aren't part of the regulars, you're largely ignored. I tried to spark conversations, but it was clear that I was not welcomed by the "regulars". The trainer of the session was very kind, but didn't really explain the terminology of CrossFit for me. So I spent most of my time trying to understand just what I was supposed to be doing. Lastly, I just don't enjoy the "competitiveness" of the classes. It's more about people beating each other's score than it is about self growth. Mind you: I'm an avid fitness enthusiast. I have been working out for over 10 years. I know what I'm doing inside of a gym. I also have been to gym classes. And, by comparison, other gyms have had a far friendlier and inviting atmosphere. Trainers have gone out of their way to introduce newcomers to regulars to help grow their community. This gym seems to cater to the regulars above all else. Sadly, I won't be back. I gave it three classes, but it was the same thing every time. I give it 2 stars because the attitude of the trainers were pleasant. I just wish they knew how to (a) cater to CF newbies better and (b) did more to break the Seattle freeze community here.

I was referred to this little gym in the Bitter Lake area by a business client of mine who was a…read moreclient of the gal that runs this place. She explained the science behind the Super Slow exercise protocol. I was a very skeptical that you could build significant muscle in only one 10-min workout per week. I went home and spent an hour or more Googling research about this. I also read the book she recommended "Body By Science." It all seemed to make sense scientifically, but I asked myself, if this actually works, why isn't most everyone I know that works out doing it? Well I found out after my first session. It IS only 10-12 minutes, but in order for it to work right, you have to do the exercises with proper form and push your muscles to failure for several seconds which is VERY uncomfortable to put it mildly. The ironic thing is that this form of working out is actually much safer than many other forms, especially crossfit which seems to currently be all the rage. So I think it's a combination of people not believing you can get significant results in 10 minutes a week (I actually am doing it twice a week - but to build muscle you still can only do it once a week), and, some people are just cutout for the level of "torture" you have to slowly endure toward the end of each exercise. But for someone busy like myself that hates working out, it's a very efficient way to gain muscle. I sometimes try to do the workout by myself when I don't want to drive across the bridge but I never get as sore as I do when I do it with Anne Marie. I'm not sure if it's something about her machines or more likely she makes me push myself harder. After my 10 minute workout all I have to do is make sure I eat enough (I use a food intake journal app) and make sure I get enough sleep. The result has been as good if not better than any other type of workout I've tried. The only downside is this is a by appt only small gym in an odd location and a bit of a trek for me. I wish she had a gym on the Eastside. The equipment looks a bit dated too (but it all works), and there's never more than one other person there training so if you want to gawk at people (or people to gawk at you) in a club-like atmosphere, this place may not be for you. I consider this place and the workout she is using a hidden secret in Seattle. While the 10-12 minutes is pretty intense, I still try to get some additional cardio in twice a week, but I typically get that through sports and recreational activities I enjoy instead going to the gym. When I try to explain this program to my friends and they are skeptical, all I have to do is take my shirt off to convince them. LOL. I also Googled SuperSlow Philip Alexander (the doctor that help pioneer this technique) to read more about it and understand it better. Or SuperSlow Study Switzerland. I am surprised I never heard of SuperSlow before!
