I am rarely short of words but when trying to find the right ones to describe 3010 in Renton, I…read morefeel like anything I say will not do them justice. My review is going to be long, but only because I am hoping people who may be sitting on the fence about joining, will feel more comfortable taking the leap like I did, after reading this. Weight has never been my friend (or perhaps I should say it has been my friend because it has ALWAYS stuck around). I can't remember a time when I haven't struggled and needed to lose some weight. Three years ago I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. That was scary, but what happened to my body after I had my thyroid removed, was nothing short of miserable. I have tried everything under the sun to lose weight since then. I came into the thyroid cancer needing to lose at least 25 pounds, and exited it needing to lose closer to 60 :( I started to feel like there was nothing I could do to lose the weight. If there's a diet I have tried it. I might have initially lost some weight on a few but it always came back and I never felt good while doing any of them. 3010 isn't a diet - it REALLY is a lifestyle. 3010 doesn't just give you food and send you on your way (although they do provide some AWESOME food!)...they provide a caring, supportive, compassionate, kind, knowledgeable environment. They don't judge you, they don't shame you and they don't give you false promises. They give you a realistic PLAN. They give you the TOOLS to follow the plan. You guys, this is backed BY SCIENCE. My mind was literally blown when I they showed me the research behind it. The staff are all passionate about what they do and it's clear they LOVE their jobs. It's honestly contagious. Oh and the scales???!!! So cool. They tell you what you've lost, but also give you so many more measurements to help you understand your loss. They help you understand the type of fat you need to lose and where it is sitting in your body. I highly suggest going in for a consultation and body scan. You have nothing to lose. They aren't pushy and it will truly change your life. I am so thankful I found 3010 and will be a lifer (did I mention after you meet your goal you get to stay on maintenance FOR FREE?!?!)!!!!!

I've been pretty disciplined with exercising my whole life but always been a "husky" guy at 5'11…read more225 lbs. for years I didn't like the way I looked in the mirror and knew that my diet was something that needed work to be more healthy. I really needed structure and accountability for my diet in order to make a change. I finally made the commitment to do something about it. So why'd I choose 30/10? Several years ago my uncle completely transformed his life after being heavy for as long as I could remember. He looked great, had energy and was just a happier guy. I've seen this happen before but what made his transformation different was that I watched him maintain that lifestyle for years (and to this day!). How'd he do it? 30/10! He's actually been in the 30/10 commercials as the success story they promote. The sustainability was what impressed me so I decided to give it a shot. Marcus and 30/10 Gave me the structure I needed to know what types of food to eat, in what quantities and at what time. Also of equal importance is the weekly accountability check ins. They have best in class body composition scanners that uncover exactly what you've been up to :). It was very motivating to go in after a disciplined week of diet to see the results show up in the body scan. I went from about 225 lbs/29% body fat to 187 lbs/14% body fat in 10 weeks and felt amazing! I looked better and felt better, not to mention I had the tools from Marcus to maintain a healthy diet going forward so that I could also have sustained success like my uncle. Simply put, I feel like "me" again. Because I feel better physically and mentally I show up better for my family and at work. I have more confidence, strength, endurance, mental clarity and simply a much better quality of life. It's been over a year since my transformation and still going strong! if you're looking to lose weight, keep it off, and transform your health and life for good, then look no further!

Been training with Tony at Iron Works Gym for about a year now. Unfortunately my metabolism has…read moreslowed down as I got older and the lifestyle of these 80 hour work weeks has taken a toll. It's a vicious cycle of being too tired to work out and getting to the point where it was surprisingly cheaper to dine out at restaurants than to put in the energy and time to grocery shop and cook. But taking the easier route will always have a cost in the long run and I knew something had to change if I still want to be hot when I'm 69 years old. I really don't enjoy working out at all, it's painful, but having a personal trainer holds me accountable to show up to my appointments plus it's just nice to get help from a professional. You can tell Tony is very passionate about what he does and cares about his clients. It's also convenient for me not to have to recruit homies for the group sessions, he does all the logistical work to pair up with others that are in a similar stats as you. I'm probably not the best for visual results as I just went from objectively skinny to still skinny, but I am stronger compare to when I first started where I was crippling doing any sort of exercise with no weights at all to now. My meal portions are more in control without feeling like I had to give up everything and start eating like a squirrel, just no more regular boba tea runs. What's more important is that I truly believe that exercise contributes to stronger mental health and I recommend everybody to do some form of exercise even if you're not overweight at all. Tell me about your experience if you've been here or is going to after reading this review:)

I vowed…read moreto work for a year to get in "the best shape of my life", a friend of mine (and also a client) recommended Tony, and I thought, "why not". So it's been 10 months, and through his guidance I've lost 20lbs, and have packed on muscle. I "see" Tony virtually with his distance program, and he reliably sends me eating plans and workout plans. We have twice a week checkins, and I can always text him with questions. Recently I went in to his gym to meet up with him, and he's very friendly, this has been a grade A experience, and I'm really glad I've done it. Let's see what we can do in the next two months!

Thanks to his support and accountability, I stayed consistent and hit every workout for over a year--no small feat! I felt stronger, saw real results, and never had to second-guess what to do.

Totally worth it.

I moved from Sacramento and a fabulous personal trainer to the Seattle area, then COVID happened…read more I am primarily a runner, but strength training makes me a better runner, especially with the big hills in the area! As I finished of the 2021 race year, my last race aggravated an already worn and cranky knee. I figured it was time to see if I could find a good body work person to help with recovery. I found Dustin and not only does he do great body work, but I discovered he was a personal trainer as well. I did a DEXA scan then started working with him. I started building up strength, even though I couldn't run. Dustin was very careful not to do anything to aggravate the injury as he built the rest of me up, including supporting muscle groups. By April I was starting to run again. I was also trying to drop the extra COVID pounds I picked up, and while the scale didn't seem to be budging, my clothes were definitely feeling better. I did another DEXA scan, and I had dropped 10 pounds of fat (including most of the visceral fat) and picked up 10 pounds of lean mass, so definitely moving in the right direction! Dustin is very knowledgeable in anatomy, nutrition and the science around performance. We enjoy our discussions, and he appreciates my effort and enthusiasm, and the fact that I run around all over the country running these crazy Ragnar races. Not exactly your normal Grandma pursuit! I highly recommend Dustin, whether you are a competitive athlete, you want to be more healthy in general, fit in your clothes better, or don't want to fall over, break a hip and die! I say that last only somewhat tongue in cheek. It is definitely on my mind; I am appallingly close to that age! But I don't feel old, or look old, and my DEXA scan also shows I have very dense bones, another benefit of running and weightlifting! Just yesterday I was doing single-leg dead lifts with two 35 pound kettlebells and he said, "Just think, most people can't even do these without weight, and here you are with 70 pounds!" DON'T BE ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE! Go get in shape with Dustin! You don't HAVE to get to the really big kettlebells either. Talk to Dustin, figure out YOUR goals!

Stew has been my trainer--and a genuine mentor--for over five years, and I'm in the best shape of…read moremy life because of him. At 50, I'm stronger and more consistent with strength training than I've ever been, and that's entirely due to Stew's approach. Every session with Stew feels fresh and designed specifically for how I am feeling that day, what I've been working on recently, and where I want to go long-term. His depth of knowledge shows in the details: smart progressions, careful attention to form, and exercises that actually translate to strength, durability, good posture, and muscle. Stew is also a true professional--always on time, fully present, and completely focused on me for the entire session. Just as important, he brings an infectious positivity--he pushes me to my limits and makes me feel great no matter how far I was able to go. I consistently leave our workouts feeling energized, motivated, and better than when I walked in. If you're looking for a trainer who combines expertise, accountability, and genuine care for your strength, fitness and health, Stew is exceptional.

TL;DR: Worth it, highly recommended, ESPECIALLY if you feel like you're too out of shape to set…read morefoot in a gym Who: A couple in our 50s, who were feeling hopelessly weak. Too shy to go to a gym/wouldn't even know what to do. Both WFH, I have ADHD. Where: Exercise room (with a few weights/ancient machines) in our condo building When: Twice a week couple training (we do separate, customized exercises) My husband had a bad case of covid in April 2023, and he was bedridden for a few weeks--as a result, he lost much of his muscle mass. I sought out Stew for him but ended up working out together. Previous background: My husband never worked out or played sports until about 10 years ago. He had sedentary work at the computer all his life. He worked with another trainer once a week for several years and eventually was able to do a few pullups etc. His trainer changed jobs, then the pandemic hit, so went back to his old ways. After which he got the covid & felt very weak. I've had multiple health problems since childhood, and while I'm mostly good now, still have fibromyalgia, Addison's disease, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Hadn't exercised in over 20 years. Together, we felt threatened we might become extinct soon if we didn't do something. So I looked around for a new trainer who could come to our home, at first for my husband only. A lot of them were upstarts (e.g. app-based) and sales-pitchy; they also seemed young, and we weren't sure if a 25-year-old (sorry I don't mean to be agist!) would truly understand how creaky our over-the-hill, underused bodies felt. Then I found Stew. He seemed very professional and experienced; he was older than us and in incredible shape. More than anything, what convinced me was the fact he'd worked with clients with various health and mobility challenges. He was easy to get in touch and communicate with, friendly, and not at all scary. After chatting with him and finding out he could work with both of us in the same hour, I decided to sign up for couple training sessions instead. This doesn't mean we do the same workouts; Stew can customize each person's workouts, and supervise/help us at the same time. This worked well, kind of like a buddy system. We feel more accountable about our sessions and are less likely to miss them. We travel off and on so overall we probably worked out with Stew for 8 months or so. From both being totally wimpy and almost muscle-less, now we can see our muscles and feel much stronger. My favorite part about working with Stew is that our workouts are rarely the same. This really helps with my ADHD brain, which *hates* routines. He brings his magic duffle with different tools, but even with the same pieces of equipment we have in our home gym, he's always coming up with different ways to best help us. He has so many tips and tricks in his workout rolodex, if we feel uncomfortable with something, he can switch it up to what works better in seconds. As another reviewer noted, the service may not be the cheapest, but we can unequivocally say this is the best investment we've made in the past year. (I recommend doing it as a couple! Cheaper than 2 individual sessions!) I used to get tired after walking for 15-30 minutes; now I can hike or play pickleball for multiple hours. My husband can do pushups again, and he's feeling stronger.His shoulders are broader too ;) Perhaps the best testament: We recently bought a new house, and one of my criteria was "in an area where Stew can still come see us." I hope he never retires!!

There is no such thing as "one size fits all," educators be damned. Cookie cutter homogeny is not what I am looking for. Sonja, the owner of Demco and one of the trainers, customizes my workout to me, my size, and what I need to be fit. She isn't judgmental, shunning "silver sneaker" exercises in spite of my age. Sonja gets that 99% of us older cats still want lean muscle mass and strength. Sure balance and flexibility are important, and we do some innovative work on these two vital aspects of physical fitness. Yet, there is no condensation, her workout also develops my body.

We do the partner training at home (at our building gym) and Isaiah has been great in tailoring the training routines for us and what's available at the gym.

He has a great approach, very personable and also always keeping an eye on our postures and making sure we're doing the exercises properly. I appreciate how he pushes us to always try to go a little harder, but is always mindful of our limits so we don't get injured. Within two months we already saw visible results in our bodies and also our resistance and strength. He is also always on time and never missed a session (and we train at 7am!). The only time we had to skip a session he got in touch with us way ahead of time and promptly rescheduled it. We're pretty happy with him as our trainer and will continue working with him this year for sure!
