They showed me how every movement can be scaled and helped me keep track of my progress. The coaches and athletes are incredibly kind and dedicated.

This is a cross fit gym so it could be intimidating to someone who is new to working out or unfamiliar with crossfit in general, but I the instructor will check up on you and help you with form, workout stricture etc. Seems like there are activities and challenges that motivate people to work out hard. *first class is free to try

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!

A friend recommended that I try the Armory out and I could not be happier that I did. The trainers are the best of the best and so accommodating and patient. They've given me the courage to try out new exercises that I had never considered and have helped me scale my workouts to find what works for my body to get really strong and stay strong. I feel safe and supported here. I'd highly recommend this gym!

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!

Case in point, on day one the owner diagnose an issue that I was having with my form for one of the Olympic, weightlifting movements, which another gym in the areas coaches hadn't noticed for seven months, and had led to an injury. Day one Joe diagnosed the problem and it was fixed without me even asking!There are two sides of the gym, dedicated for electric weightlifting on one side, and the other side, high intensity, interval training. This shit is easily accessible, clean, and has easy parking. It is not a globo gym, nor is it simply an iron fitness. There is space for what you need if it's a casino workout, or you're dropping in for open gym or individual weightlifting session. Coaches run classes on time, one hour, which is not the experience that I have had other community style gyms in the past in the area. American flag over the door, attentive coaches and community, never asking for reviews online (a great plus!), accessible in ten minutes or less from JBLM, Lakewood, all the way up to Ruston. Great location for access!

I had heard about OTF from friends and social media promotions that promised a special rate for new…read moremembers when they first opened; I've now been a member for almost a year! First off, the Bellevue location is the ONLY OTF location in the United States that has two fitness studios (2 workout gyms) and three showers! This means there are more classes available than most locations. One of OTF's unique value propositions is a heart rate monitor you wear under your shirt along your chest or on your wrist that displays your data on a large monitor in class alongside your peers'. This data indicates your heart's beats per minute, calories burned, and which "zone" you're in. Grey, blue, green, orange, and red--each signifying your heart rate zone. Because of this, you'll need a heart rate monitor in order to participate, which means investing in your own through OTF. At the end of the class you get your stats emailed to you. When you first arrive, you pick a number and machine: either rower or treadmill. This is where you start. All workouts are different, but generally you'll do a short warmup on whichever station you grab a card for. If you have a row card, it'll also assign you to the weight floor. The weight floor will involve weights, TRX, body weight, and more. The coach will explain the exercises, and then there will be animations of people doing the exercises up on the television screens for reference. Upon completion of your three blocks, you switch with the other group who is on the treadmill. Yes, you will spend about half the class on the treadmill, so be prepared to power walk, jog, or run for that entire time! There's a cheat sheet on the treadmills to help you determine which group to go in, and during that time you either are at your base speed (active recovery), push pace (a little faster than your base to get you uncomfortable), or all put pace (as fast as you can run). The coach guides you through each interval, which is strategically planned to get your heart rate up, and then down. Overall, great experience. Membership here will get you membership at any other location, which is a huge plus. Looking forward to trying more classes!

I LOVE Orangetheory. It's such a good workout and I've been recommending it to all my friends for…read moreyears. The Bellevue studio is incredibly spacious compared to other locations and the front desk staff are all super nice. However, post-pandemic I've taken classes with 3+ different coaches at the Bellevue location, and my biggest gripe is that none of the coaches seem to give corrections on form. I've been to several other studios - Kirkland, Bel-Red, Shoreline, Wallingford, etc. - and most of the coaches at those studios will correct me and others when we're doing something wrong. If there are no corrections or tips on how to improve, I don't see the difference between having an in-person coach vs. an automated audio track timed with the instructions for the day. At other studios, I notice the coaches will also try to get to know the members and give shout outs. I haven't observed this at Bellevue and the studio vibe feels much more impersonal. Still, I love Orangetheory and the Bellevue location has its perks: double studios, easy parking, Starbucks across the street, etc. I just wish it felt more personal and that the coaches were more engaged.
