Let me start by saying this isn't my first time trying Crossfit…read more I was introduced to Crossfit by my husband who's a big enthusiast, and we first went to a gym when we were living in California, people were nice enough but everyone seemed to do everything like a pro and I felt pretty discouraged that I wasn't at that level yet, so my first Crossfit experience lasted a couple of months. Then at the beginning of this year, I decided to give it another shot at Crossfit Bothell. The first thing that was different was the fact that I joined their foundations class, where I learned what each movement and each exercise was supposed to look like, and ways to scale it down in case I couldn't do that yet. Another thing is the coaches are SO. NICE. We usually go in the evenings, and all of our coaches: Andrew, Peter, Rodrigo and Lincoln are the best. They push you when you need to be pushed, but it's always done in a nice and friendly way, and they encourage you to scale down when needed. They also have olympic weightlifting classes, Lincoln teaches this class on Tuesdays and Fridays, and while I was a bit hesitant at first, now I'm a big fan. We've made a lot of friends at Crossfit, it's now been 10 months and I can see myself staying in Crossfit Bothell for a long time. Tips: go the foundations class, and if, like me, you like working out with your partner, ask for the couples membership!

This is a very strange experience. CrossFit Bothell will not share their pricing whatever I may do…read more They want me to setup a call and they will ask a bunch of questions to direct me to the right plan. Sounds all nice and righteous but in reality it is a sales technique to oversell and upsell you. Why don't they publish their pricing. What is there to hide. I would stay away from such shady businesses.

Lifting weights and committing to exercising three days a week has changed my life. I wouldn't have been able to do this without the wonderful staff of trainers at Kutting Edge Fitness. Prior to joining, I had a difficult time carrying bags of gardening soil, relying on my husband to do all the heavy lifting around the house. I was what you called, "skinny fat". My weekly Pilates classes weren't getting the job done. My growing children were proof that if I didn't make a change, I was going to be left behind. Today, I'm strong. Both physically and mentally. I credit my success to Cory, Alex, and Sam. They give me confidence to try new things and push me to do more, safely. (Although Sam is no longer a trainer at the gym, I still hear his positive affirmations.) Hannah recently joined and is a solid addition to the team. Each trainer has their own unique style to help you do your best. However, it's up to YOU to put in the effort. If you're looking to feel your best at whatever age you are I highly recommend Kutting Edge Fitness. Come learn new things. Change will come! Consistency has been key for me--- along with changing my diet, and drinking less. I'm happy to say, it's all been worth it.

I started attending Kutting Edge during COVID times when most other gyms were either closed or I…read morejust didn't feel comfortable. I loved their "group" personal training approach. It feels like the best of both worlds. You get personal training and are in a gym environment. So here is a little how it works... There are a max of 4 people per 60 min session and everyone has their own marked off space with their own equipment. So no sharing, no close contact, none of that. You get your own specific personal workout that the (masked) trainer gives you in increments at a time, so if you have the attention span of a hummingbird you'll be ok because you only need to remember like 3 things at once. Everything is sanitized and they have a 30 min gap between sessions, so once again...minimal contact, maximum safeness. I am super impressed with the workouts, the new Redmond facility and the way they track and challenge me every time. They have a few different plans to choose from depending how often you want to attend. They also have group zoom sessions which are great to do from home. It's definitely not the cheapest workout option, but you get way you pay for and considering it is essentially personal training it's a pretty good deal. They also work really well with injuries and limitations, so that's refreshing. I would definitely recommend to pretty much anyone wanting to workout as they cater to all ages/shapes/fitness goals/experience so it's not a one size fits all approach. They are also into the whole golf TPI thing, so if you golf that can be helpful.

There are no words for how amazing training with Adaeze is, but I'm going to try. Her energy and passion is unmatched. She is absolutely who you want to go to if you are looking for knowledge, inclusion, encouragement, and all around fun, to keep you moving forward on your fitness journey. Being able to train with a black-women owned business in Woodinville, WA has been one of my greatest joys since moving to the greater Seattle area. If you are looking for in person personal training, online training, or even corporate wellness, Adaeze is who you should hire. No questions asked.

Seeing everyone posting their videos talking about how a challenge was, and everyone posting that they completed the challenge throughout the day, gave me the strength to push through and finish mine. She gave us encouragement and form videos on top of the daily videos showing us what we were doing and how to do it! I also loved the fact that we could do the challenges pretty much anywhere, and not only at home or in a gym... I found myself doing the sets in a park, in a parking lot, really anywhere I had some space and a little bit of time to complete a set. I felt so so supported throughout the whole process and I really appreciate that! I cant wait to work on another of her programs with her!

My first session today truly exceeded any expectations. Brett picked up immediately on what the…read morelong term effects were on an accident I had in 2010. She noted one shoulder was up two inches and not as far back. We warmed up the muscles with light weights for my biceps then went on to my triceps. With a resistance band we increased the blood flow to the muscles further. "Hug the noodle, squeeze it between your scapulae." she said while I was lying on a foam noodle. It is hard to describe the sensation of squeezing a muscle that has not been used in over seven years. I'd done to the third best trauma center in the country, tried three physical therapists, and three personal trainers at a big box gym, I had never been offered this exercise. I will come back and update my review after a few months or years of training here. UPDATE: After thirty sessions I added a star. Britt ha consistently modified each exercise we approach better than any therapist I have worked with. I did the math. LA Fitness offers bulk training that cost MORE than here. I just learned that Britt is going to Alaska soon to train trainers; she is a master trainer which is not a big surprise. Seriously knowledgeable and funny.

I am a lifelong athlete. I've been around the block with various coaching and fitness/nutrition routines. I know what's safe, what works and what expertise looks like. ZenRock is aces in all these areas! I first met with Petra who assessed my needs and goals. She placed me with Nova for fitness coaching and referred me to Britt for nutrition coaching. They are both incredible and a perfect match for my needs. I went through an initial fitness and goal setting assessment with Nova and the work began. She is an INCREDIBLE motivator and keeps me working hard in our sessions. Every workout is different and I look forward to our sessions each week. Don't skip the nutrition! This is a major part of overall fitness. Britt is AMAZING! She knows how to keep me going and I've learned so much through this whole process. I would highly recommend both if you are ready to take control of your health and wellness. ZenRock facility is a pretty wonderful place to workout. The atmosphere is great. The facility is clean and the equipment is well maintained and top notch. I've had an opportunity to watch other clients and trainers work together and can easily recommend ZenRock as a place to start or continue on your health journey.

I was a loyal member of CrossFit Chateau for about three years and…read moreinitially valued the coaching and strong sense of community. However, about a year ago, that "community-first" ethos feeling changed for me. I began experiencing frequent solicitation related to real estate services from co-owner Keri Konicke during classes and through email, and phone outreach, plus added pressure from Alex Konicke to promote his book. Both of their endeavors are admirable, but I showed up for great workouts and a wonderful community - not to feel pressured for a separate business prospect. Over time, this made me uncomfortable and impacted my experience at the gym. In March, after I requested a temporary membership modification or "reasonable accommodation" related to my disability, my membership was sadly revoked by Alex and Keri Konicke. That outcome was disappointing given my long history and dedication to the gym. I'm sharing this so prospective members can make an informed decision. If you do join, you may want to set clear boundaries around non-fitness-related solicitations.

I found 1 on 1 Fitness on Yelp and decided to give them a try by enrolling in their 10 session package with an initial evaluation. The initial evaluation was quite an eye opener, confirming my suspicions about the poor status of my overall fitness. Over the past several months the trainers at 1 on 1 (Anna and Steve) have introduced me to a broad range of exercises to improve my fitness. One thing I appreciate about these exercises is that they are standard routines and movements that I can also do on my own at the gym. If you are considering retaining a Personal Trainer, I recommend that you give 1 on 1 Fitness a try.
