POV: my trainer was based her for a couple of years so visited NW strong more than my home gym but…read morewas never a member here. NW strong is a great option for a no-frills weight-lifting focused gym in Belltown. This place is stacked to the brim with equipment. There are as many squat racks as you can fit in a space like this (9?) and about a dozen benches and tons of options for dumbbells and kettlebells. More than you will see in many much larger gyms. There are also other kinds of equipment like air bike, rower, ski erg, treadmill, bands, sled, TRX straps, and I'm sure some things I'm forgetting. It's a compact footprint and Trevor has done an outstanding job efficiently equipping it to the max. The trainers I've observed here have all be high quality with their own unique style. There is also more of a community here than I think you get with some of the bigger gyms around. From a female perspective I will say that the clientele here is mostly men. There have been many times where the gym was packed and I was the only female present. That said, people here are nice, and respectful overall and it's a good spot to work out. If I lived closer, I'd consider being a member here. I would say the two downsides that may or may not impact you personally are that there is no locker room or shower to speak of (typical commercial building bathrooms shared by multiple tenants in the building) and the space would benefit from a few fans or stronger AC. This is fine 10 months of the year but it can get very stuffy and humid in the hottest days of the summer.

READ ME 1. Trever,…read morethe owner, is very responsive and kind. 2. The gym is very clean, especially since Trever uses meyers cleaning solutions (smells great!). 3. The gym has a wide varied of equipment and free weights. 4. The gym is well-lit 5. Music selection is good, but not too loud if you're using headphones Conclusion: My girlfriend and I are from out of town and come from a private gym. NorthWest Strong, especially Trever, were very welcoming and accommodating when it came to having us train to prep for our powerlifting meets. If I ever come to Seattle again this would be our "go-to" gym for training. Thank you Trever and NorthWest Strong for having us .

There's definitely a focus on strength in this class, but not too difficult for beginners! There are cubbies to place your belongings, gendered restrooms, and a filtered water dispenser.

I'll start off by saying, I've never been a workout person. In fact going to the gym would give me…read moresuch anxiety I'd avoid it all together. But, after hitting my 14th year as a hairstylist I decided maybe it's time I start some kind of strength training. My sister has been seeing Mike for years and loves going to Cambio. So I started going too. I've been going twice a week for almost 2 years now and I have to say I've never felt better. Mike is a great trainer and very patient. Coming here has helped me so much. I'm not feeling as run down at the end of my work shifts and don't have as much back pain as I used to. I like how strong I'm getting and seeing my improvement every time I go. I really enjoy working out now and look forward to my sessions. I can't recommend this place enough!

You will have fun and you will sweat! And get a massage by Tony (who also teaches some great morning classes), he's helped me a lot after long runs. The staff gets to know you and they're always friendly and totally professional. The gym itself is clean and the equipment is well taken care of. I also really enjoy the friends I've made over the years. All of this makes my workouts the best. Work is stressful, to be able to take a break in the middle of the day to workout with people I enjoy, at a gym I love, is everything. Thanks Zum!

They are modifiable for every skill level and each class has a wide variety of abilities - some people are doing ring rows while others are doing strict pull ups and there's no judgment! The coaches are so friendly and make an effort to know everyone's name and introduce new comers. Jonathan knows when to push me to add more weight and when to leave me alone if I am hungover and just want to survive the workout :) I love that they have additional events like hikes and holiday grill outs. I've made so many friends through the gym which is tough to do in Seattle! It takes some time, but the same people go to the same class times, so you start to see familiar faces over time. And there's fun little perks once you join like free in-body scans to track your progress AND a loft space where you can do co-working and hang out with free drinks!

My body needed a rest day for sure, these classes can be intense, but it makes you feel good. Most instructors are super fun, there were some I did not care for, I do not remember their names since I was just there for a short period of time. JD and Chris were very kool, oh and Sam. Who would have thought spin can be hard :))) I took their classes the most, not intentionally, and we had fun every time. It is very important while you are running out of breath :D I liked how my body was changing and how my stamina improved even in that one week. I am good at cardio and flexibility; I thought that weights are not my thing, but these awesome trainers proved me otherwise. F45 is not only a group class facility but a strong, caring community. And they make you feel like you are part of it very quickly. The instructors take classes with us too sometimes and they push you gently, I felt inspired not annoyed. My friends have an unlimited class and that is how you get your money worth, I checked Dallas, their promotion is $30 for 3 classes. Unfortunately, there is none close to me, and I know myself, if the gym is more than 10 min drive, I won't go. It is fine, cannot wait to come visit again and see those lovely peeps at F45.
