Both my wife and I have been training with Drake at Good Time Fitness for five months now, and we truly couldn't be happier. We have worked with other trainers in the past, but none compare to the level of expertise and care Drake provides. Our class consists of five people (the maximum size), and he customizes each workout to accommodate individual body types and prior injuries. Drake is extremely knowledgeable about the body and its mechanics--muscles, fascia, ligaments, and more. To us, he is not just a trainer; he could easily pass for a physical therapist. His deep understanding of different body issues has helped us stay strong and avoid injuries, which is especially important as we remain active into our seventies. As an added bonus, Drake is warm, personable, and genuinely invested in keeping his clients healthy, strong, and injury-free. We highly recommend Drake as a trainer and hope to continue training with him at Good Time Fitness for many years to come. Good Time Fitness has a great atmosphere, an excellent range of equipment, and a very clean, well-maintained facility. It's a welcoming and motivating place to train, and it complements Drake's training style perfectly. read more

I've been training with Nate at Good TIme Fitness for 5 years and cannot be happier. His attention to form and tracking of your personal fitness data is excellent. I highly recommend!! read more

I've been going to Good Time Fitness since the summer of 2022 when I was was just getting back into exercise after having a baby. It's a hidden gem for anyone looking for a top-notch gym experience. The facility is small but well-equipped, offering a cozy environment that's not overcrowded, thanks to the small group session structure. This creates a more personalized experience, and you get an individualized program and instruction during your workouts. As a woman, I never felt comfortable training at a regular gym without a trainer and I didn't know what kind of program I should do. Good Time Fitness is a very positive environment and now I can also go into a regular gym and I have more confidence using weights on my own. If you're looking for a great trainer, I highly recommend Coach Drake. I've worked with a lot of trainers over the years, and Drake is definitely a standout. He's extremely attentive to proper form so that you can avoid injury and maximize results. He places a strong emphasis on mobility and flexibility, which has been helpful for me being a desk-worker and dealing with a chronic low back injury. Drake is fantastic at customizing programs and accommodating any injuries or limitations. read more

Best gym and personal training experience!! Highly recommend anything seeking PT to train with Kathy. I started training with Kathy from a friend recommendation back in summer 2023, and it's been such a great experience! I was never someone who can really stick to a fitness routine and get intimated easily especially in gym. But Kathy's program and training style made a world of difference. She is energetic, attentive to details, really tweaked the program to fit my strength and weakness. I actually miss her sessions when I'm on vacation, which has NEVER happened before!! read more

I started at Good Time Fit in January 2022 with Kathy Thai as my personal trainer. I'd never worked with a personal trainer before, and I'm the kind of person who isn't disciplined enough to go to the gym regularly and lift weights on my own (not to mention being intimidated by others at the gym). I wanted to work with a personal trainer that was communicative, detail-oriented, and approachable. From the start, Kathy has been super attentive to my fitness goals and progress. She's incredibly knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, and the body. Whether I have a simple question or am having discomfort/soreness during sessions, she always has great explanations and gives recommendations for regressions or improvements to my form. The programs she creates are great for building strength and mobility for the whole body. Even when there are other clients in the gym (semi-private sessions), she's always on top of it. She's so efficient, I never have to think hard about what my next exercise is or how many weights I need to put on the rack--it's all taken care of for me. Anyway, I've been going for a year now and I feel so much stronger and healthier. I can lift more than I've ever done before and it's because Kathy helps me push myself to new limits. Not only is she committed to helping others achieve their fitness goals, she's very motivating and friendly. I love chatting with her throughout my sessions. I look forward to my workouts!! Thanks so much Kathy!!! read more

Highly recommend coming to this gym and to seek the guidance of Kathy! Whether you're looking to get into a healthier shape, improve existing fitness or just up-level the next stage of your health journey, this is the place for you to wisely invest your time in. I started with Kathy last year and since then have since saw an increase in both strength and stamina thanks to her guidance. Kathy's focus is geared around strength and conditioning training but she caters to your individual needs as well. She got me hooked onto powerlifting and I have since broken a ton of barriers in deadlifts, squat and bench press in less than 4 months. All while being assured that even if she does push me to exceed current levels, it is done in an extremely safe and gradual stage. I look forward to continuing under her guidance for the long term!! read more

I've been training with Drake for 7 months now. I didn't realize I would enjoy lifting weights as much as I do now. Drake helped me build strength gradually and I have not only enjoyed the process but also learned how to weight lift properly. He understands me and my progress to change the exercise accordingly. He explains each work out thoroughly and make sure that you are doing it correctly. He motivates and pushes us to the limit but his attention to detail is admirable and he makes sure that we are not injuring ourselves in anyway. I would definitely recommend giving Drake a try if you're looking for a personal trainer. read more

I have been working out with Drake for few months now. I have never felt better about my body since my early 20s. Squats and deadlifts were never my forte but now I do it and somewhat love to do it as well. I cannot recommend Good Time Fitness and Drake enough. If you are struggling to get on track and have some money to burn just try them you'd thank me. read more

I was completely out of shape staying at home last year due to the pandemic and wanted to get in shape by increasing strength, reduce fat and gain lean muscles. I found Good Time Fitness and started training with Drake and only after a month started seeing the results. Drake always focuses on good warm-up, stretches, finding out the weak spots, and is meticulous about the formation while lifting heavyweights. He is a perfect coach for a beginner like me. It is great that everybody in the gym follows the covid protocol seriously. The gym is always clean and is in a great location, and it has such good vibes. I highly recommend this gym! read more

Kathy Thai coached me for about half a year in 2023 and I felt significantly more energetic throughout the twice a week weight training sessions with her! I've never lifted before and Kathy smoothed me into the routine without making me feel rushed or under pressure. Kathy also kept a notebook about me noting down what did I do during each session to visualize my progress. I have chronic gastritis / some other digestion issues. Yet there are benefits that weight training can bring. I'm grateful for this experience and it's nice to get to know Kathy! read more

I am NOT a gym-goer. Exercise has never been enjoyable for me, and gyms have been far too intimidating. Any time I've had the courage to sign up for a personal training session at a big box gym, I've been rewarded with a pre-scripted exercise plan that was unrelated to my goals and invasive questions about my diet. After 5 months of working with Jake, he still focuses on my humble little goals every single week. He's a magician at knowing how many reps and how much weight I can handle, and I leave feeling accomplished instead of beat down. It's more like taking private lessons with a tutor than sweat sessions under the scrutiny of a drill sergeant. Don't get me wrong, I still get sweaty and plenty sore. (It feels like a badge of honor the next day.) For the first time, I believe I have the potential to be "A Person Who Works Out" thanks to Good Time Fit and their inclusive attitude. read more

I have been working with Sam for a while now, and have never felt stronger! I suffered from two frozen shoulders: each one after the other, that went on for 4 years total, and resulted in 3 surgeries. A couple of years after all that was over, I went in with the objective of building overall strength, and particularly strength in upper body/shoulders, where muscles had atrophied. Even though I had zero prior experience lifting weights or doing strength training, working with Sam made the learning easy and non-intimidating! I can now walk into a gym and go about my business like I know exactly what I am doing. Because I do know exactly what I am doing. :-) Sam combined his physical therapy background with great attention to my specific issues, and kept iterating on our program to uncover areas that needed to be worked on. This has literally been the best investment I made all of last year! read more

I had to pee so badly today at Starbucks And the seat was filthy. It was the moment of truth and I had to squat. I've never in my life appreciated or loved Nate and Good Time Fitness more than in that moment. Thank you. Thank you my friend. read more

This new gym is very nice and clean. And since it's all scheduled training, I don't have to fight for a squat rack anymore! I've been working with Nate for over a year, and it has been such an incredible journey so far. Nate is professional and very patient, and always keep me in a good progress with my training plan. I would recommend this place to my friends, and definitely try get a session with Nate! read more

Please allow me to preface this by saying I've never written reviews on anything before this; Good Time Fitness has brought so much positivity and benefits to my life that I simply couldn't help myself. :) tl;dr: I wholeheartedly recommend training with Drake to anyone. He's not only a fantastic trainer who definitely knows his stuff, but also a great person who genuinely cares about you and your progress. --- I've been training with Drake for about 3 months now. I know, not the longest time out there.. But in this relatively short span of time, about 90% of my problems that had been haunting me for years have vanished. For the sake of length, I'll just go over one of my multitude of issues. I injured my knee due to an accident a decade ago. Ever since then I've been to countless trainers and physical therapists. Yes, I've gotten stronger and recovered mostly from the muscle atrophy, but the joint pain never subsided. At some point after being told by multiple doctors and trainers that this will be the norm for the rest of my life, I'd pretty much given up and even considered surgery. ..Enter Drake and Good Time Fitness! When I signed up, my only goal was to try and get back in shape after being sedentary for far too long. My knee injury was only mentioned in passing more-so as a heads up. However, Drake took that to heart and drew up a plan to tackle that issue (among other things of course). I'll be honest -- I was skeptical. The exercises seemed counterintuitive at first and didn't seem to help. However, after a couple weeks of following the routine, I started to notice that my knee pain began to slowly subside. After a month, it was gone. So I decided to go on a hike - an activity that was essentially a nightmare to my knees - to test out my progress (at this point you probably know where I'm going with this..). For the entirety of the hike, I've experienced ZERO joint pain in my knees, to the point where I was excitedly running up and downhill - Something that I haven't been able to do for years! I didn't even know where or how to start describing the immense joy that I felt with this revelation, but my poor friends sure had to deal with my hyper-excitement for the rest of the trip. :) As a bonus, the overall atmosphere of the gym itself is, in my humble opinion, very homey as well. Everyone that I've seen training there are pleasant and easy-going. The owner Nate even held a party for everyone during the holidays! All in all, deciding the train here is very much so the best decision I've made for myself in years. read more

I definitely recommend Good Time Fitness. I'm a very experienced lifter, having started over twenty years ago. I've had many trainers, goals, and training methods over the years. I was looking to get back into the habit after having kids a few years ago, and found Good Time Fitness. I was already very familiar with Starting Strength approach to training, having done it on my own before, and was attracted to Good Time by the quality of their equipment and gym setup. Nate's been fantastic as a trainer, helping me ensure good form, keeping me challenged and motivated, and helping me get a solid workout. I had been making good progress before the COVID shutdown, and am very excited to get back to training at Good Time when it's safe to do so. read more

Nate is professional, positive, and overall amazing! I lost 28 lbs and got stronger then I had ever been before in just over a year. read more

Good Time Fitness - Trainers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

I started weight training with Kathy this year, she has been the best trainer I have ever had (50 years). She is extremely knowledgeable and protects the safety of her clients. Safety is a primary concern for her, while meeting and exceeding your fitness ceiling. She embraces a positive attitude which undoubtedly helps her clients not only reach their goals but surpass them. Kathy pushes you to the max in order to achieve the goals that YOU have set for your desired personal fitness outcomes. I would highly recommend Kathy for all levels of clients, beginners-advanced. read more

Hi, Good Times Fitness has been awesome to me. Their trainers are exceptional, the overall vibe is great and I have had good experiences. I definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Amazing personal trainers, complete clean gym and best choice I've made training here. Overall very friendly people, peaceful environment, aligned gym equipment, moreover I've seen the development and good basement in my training. @Drake you're really good trainer man. My special thanks for you read more

Nate's calm, steady approach to getting stronger & in shape will completely win you over :) and the gym has a great down-to-earth vibe. I started training with Nate over a year ago with an old back injury and almost no experience in strength training. The progress over time has been amazing! I'm sure I wouldn't have stuck with it had I started at one of the bigger gyms without focusing on the basics. read more

I've been training with Nate for 8 months now. I didn't realize I would enjoy lifting weights as much as I do now. My initial motivation was to get stronger, as I had lost all my strength due to pregnancy and a difficult postpartum recovery. Nate help me build strength gradually without the intense soreness after workouts. I had never lifted before, but Nate provided great guidance on form and technique without intimidation. I love how exclusive it is too. I've always been anxious at larger gyms and overwhelmed by all the equipment. Good Time Fitness is new and clean with two bathrooms and a shower. I plan to continue lifting with Good Time Fitness! Definitely check them out! read more

A small update, I had to get new shorts because Nate has worked my bum so hard I feel like I just left the Palm Spring White Party. Mid-squat my formerly baggy shorts tore right down the middle! Thankfully, it was an odd day for me and I was wearing underwear or all of the men at the gym would have thought it was dinner time. read more

I trained with both Nate for 1 session and Rob for 5 sessions so far and have already seen strength gains. In less than a month, I was able to make steady progress each time with efficient but challenging workouts. While they do emphasize the core powerlifting sets of squats, deadlifts and benchpress, I find these workouts to build a great foundation for strength compared to the random routines in cross-fit gyms. I'm consistently a bit sore after working out with them which means I'm pushing myself harder than I would normally without a personal trainer. Nate and Rob were both very patient, gently corrected my form when necessary, and kept meticulous track of my progress. I would definitely recommend giving Nate or Rob a try if you're looking for a personal trainer. read more

I have been training with Good Time Fitness for over 2 years now. I was with Rob at first but he left and Nate has taken over my training since then. They have both been great trainers by fixing my posture and by having a steady improvement to show. I love that they aren't like the stereotypical get-in-the-face-and-shout-at-you kinda trainers. They let you set the pace but encourage you to keep making progress and push your limits. I've already recommended them to a friend who has also joined this establishment albeit with a different trainer. And I know they are happy with their sessions too! So yes, great trainers, their new location is cool and very well equipped and they have got a great attitude towards their customers. read more

Fitness is something , which every one of us would realize is a necessity , at some point of life. Some realize it early , make it a passion and do it regularly while some others , start doing it when they are really left without much choice. I always wanted to be fit, but sadly , was very lazy and hardly spent time on it. So I belong to a third category who got a late wake up call for fitness. I had history of getting injured in gym when I worked out alone , So I started my research to find out the best and affordable trainer. I found Nate through yelp and I was skeptical about all the positive reviews (I didn't see any negative review anywhere) he had. I wanted to check it personally and see if they are genuine reviews. I have been working with Nate for over 2 months now and can genuinely say that all the positive reviews he has in yelp are well deserved. He understands your needs, assess your current physique and develops a custom plan based on your goals. He explains each work out thoroughly and make sure that you are doing it correctly. He motivates and pushes us to the limit but his attention to detail is admirable and he makes sure that we are not injuring ourselves in anyway. On top of his excellent knowledge on weight training and work outs , his interpersonal skills are also second to none . No matter how intense a workout was , Nate make sure that everybody left with a smile. I recommend Nate , to anyone who is looking for a very caring and expert personal trainer, to be honest he is one of the nicest fellas I have ever seen. Thank you Nate, keep inspiring and motivating us. I'll keep updating the review with my progress :) read more

Great location! Really convenient! And all the instructors are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and awesome people to be around. I've never been in a gym with a such a great vibe. After a few weeks training with Nate. I feel much more stronger. Can't wait for training again after the quarantine. read more

I have been training with Drake at Good Time Fitness for 4 months now. It is a fun experience so far and i never felt more fit. The sessions are tailored around the goals and drake helps in adding new things into the sessions to keep the experience exciting and fun which keeps the motivation going. I would definitely recommend Good Time Fitness with Drake as a trainer. read more

Not really a Yelp user but I think this place deserves a good review. I've been working with Drake for half a year and I will definitely recommend him. He customizes the training menu to fit different personal goals, whether you're trying to build strength for a specific sport or just trying to stay fit while doing 8 hours of desk work everyday (like me), he'll make the right adjustments for you. He's very knowledgeable about muscles and body mechanics and he explains and supervises every work out he put on the menu. He's super nice and chill which makes the sessions enjoyable. I do found myself enjoying the sessions more than I expected. Not only because this place always has a good vibe, what motivates me the most is that I'm actually seeing difference in my body shape after I started the training sessions. Definitely worth giving it a try! read more

Fitness is a passion and I've been exercising/playing regularly for close to 18 years. Over the years I had formed my own routine and kept turning to magazines and blogs for new ideas. I didn't want to work with personal trainers - partly because they are expensive (:)) and partly because I didn't want someone dictating / infringing on my sacred workout time. That changed in September last year when I had a back injury and started working with a trainer for the first time. I learned so much in those 2 months that I decided to find a new trainer and continue the good work upon returning to Seattle. I discovered Nate through Yelp and Facebook and was intrigued by so many 5 star reviews. It seemed too good to be true so I decided to check it out. I have been working with Nate for 2 months now and can genuinely say that the stars are well deserved. Nate is patient, flexible, personable but most importantly, he really understand the physiology of exercise and is totally focused on your workout and your goals. He does an in depth assessment of your state and goals and then builds a custom program based on the proven, no-frills bedrock exercises that have been the staples of bodybuilders and athletes through the years. It's his attention to detail that really sets him apart. I thought I knew the technique and how to do the movements but boy am I happy to be have been corrected. His techniques and corrections have helped me hit new personal bests on my bench press, squats, deadlifts, shoulder presses and more. And these aren't flimsy gains, I am lifting an average of 30 lbs more on every workout with more sets. In just 2 months I can see the transformation happening and look forward to our twice a week meetings. Net net check him out. You won't regret working with Nate. read more

I had never lifted weights and with Nate's help I was able to start strength training. Nate is very sincere, and modified exercises based on my personal needs. He pushed me to challenge myself and helped me overcome my fear of lifting heavy weights. read more

I have been training with Nate for a little over two months now, and he is amazing, very professional and knowledgeable. He introduced me to weightlifting and I have made much progress with his help. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a trainer. read more

Good Time Fitness is amazing ! Nate is an excellent instructor and trainer. I've been training here for only 4 months and already have made huge progress towards my fitness goal. Nate keeps track of your progress very closely and keep updating the work out routine for maximum impact. I highly recommend Nate to all my friends . read more

Nate is awesome. I think everyone has clearly stated that and I would say so myself. As someone who wanted to focus on form, Nate took the time to correct me, never rushing things and making sure my form was right. He is very easy to talk to and is not pushy whatsoever. I've recommended a few people to see him if they are looking for a personal trainer. Great guy and knowledgeable of the subject. Strength results are showing up very quickly and I can't wait to get back to training with him. Keep it up Nate! read more

I have been working with Nate for 6 months now and the results have been really great! My tummy is nearly gone and I have bulked up like never before. Nate personalized the program as per your requirements and target and make sure you progress towards that goal. The best part, he makes all of this a fun activity and not a painful ordeal like other places! read more

Nate is the best trainer I have trained with. He is very meticulous and in addition to the workout session he explains how the exercises help me in getting the results that I want. Nate is a super amicable and funny person. We end up talking about different topics under the sun and I always look forward to my training sessions with Nate. I've grown a lot stronger in the last few months than I have ever in last few years working out under different trainers. He is very knowledgeable and knows what is the best for me. I would highly recommend Nate to all my friends. read more

I have been training with Nate for 6 month. I was trying to prepare for my 4 day 3 night hike along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in July. That would be my first ever hike. I knew nothing about strength training when I just started. Nate taught me how to do squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses correctly. I really like his approach of progressive overload. It is great to see myself getting stronger week by week. The Inca Trail has a lot of ups and downs. Even though I was among the slowest in my group, I was able to handle the steep steps. After the hike, I had no muscle sore nor keen pain. The training really paid off. Nate is a great person to work with. He is always on time and very patient. I highly recommend Nate. read more

I personally like him really much, not only his personality, but his scientific and professional way of fitness. Really effective, no flattery words. I trained with him constantly for over 6 months and I definitely think his training was one of main causes for the lost 20 lbs. I won't say much good words because if you don't seriously get engaged, then there is nothing you can achieve or expect. read more

Nate is great only a few sessions and I can see how he works with and encourages his clients to see what they can really do, even if weights are not an area you are familiar in. Very much asked me about what I was looking for, what I wanted to see improvement in and tailored the workouts accordingly. 10/10 would recommend. read more

When I was looking for a personal trainer, I was seeking an individual who had technical knowledge, who was flexible with schedules, had empathy towards my state of fitness and limitations, and was a good listener. Nate had them all. I've been training with Nate for five years on and off. It's been very easy to work with him and make progress. Nate has a personal trait wherein he doesn't appear intimidating and is quite understanding of your needs. Therefore it's always easy to train with him and be at ease. Especially for beginners, this trait is very important, as beginners are already intimidated about going to gym and doing complex lifts. Overall I recommend him wholeheartedly. I would also suggest Nate to provide more detailed nutrition advice to compliment his training knowledge. read more

Nate was very nice, I started training 3months back & I clearly see the difference now. Nate marks every step of improvement towards the final goal. read more
