I joined IanFitness as a part of a six week program, which included meal plans, grocery lists, and as many boot camps as I could handle.... I love it. It's a long enough committment to feel like I have really started a habit, the coaches are supportive, and the other boot campers are great too. Each location does have its own vibe, but you can go to any location to get your workout in. So, you really can find a place that is just right for you!

I have logged nearly 300 bootcamp sessions at IanFitness. First and foremost, the IanFitness…read morecommunity is supportive and welcoming to all. No two works are the same and exercises can be easily modified to accommodate all fitness levels (and injuries).

If you're looking for a fun workout and supportive fitness community, I highly recommend checking out IanFitness.

Walking into the Trufusion Ballard lobby is a little bit like switching on the lights of a…read moreChristmas tree. It's always a delight to behold, and frankly a little magic. Everyone at the front desk without fail welcomes the customers with a warm smile. Regulars are treated as special guests, chatted up about classes, asked about their day. High spirits prevail. It's more like we're walking into a birthday party. I'm amazed each time with something as simple as a check-in process. Keeping up this level of customer service awareness takes more than just training. It take courage from the managers. The trainers take time to get to know the students, and not just our names either. Throughout class, they encourage, they motivate, they get the best out of us, which isn't always easy forty-five minutes into a one-hour intense boot camp. We're lucky to have such a welcoming place here in Seattle, where customer service and warmth are occasionally hard to find.

Very clean space, friendly staff, and lots of options for types of classes. I appreciate the small…read moretowels and lockers that are free to use. It feels nice to not need to remember to bring (then later wash) my own towel. I quite enjoyed most of the classes we had there. There was one class that didn't feel was well thought out/put together, which I considered walking out on but ended up just kinda doing my own thing. There isn't a lot of consistency between instructors or a clear teaching philosophy for the location, as far as I could tell. If you like variety and to stay on your toes, this could be a great fit for you. And again, most instructors were truly great. The bathroom amenities, nice weight racks, and lighting are all reminiscent of a luxury gym.

I have worked out extensively for over 20 years, and Priscilla Bell is hands-down the smartest, most challenging, most helpful instructor/trainer I've ever worked with. Whether its nutrition, endurance, building muscle, weight loss/gain, or cross-training, she knows her stuff. If you want someone savvy, intense, experienced, and committed, all with a great personality, she's it!

Kimae has the nerve to tell you she's a former father person, then looks you right in the face and…read moresays "Yea, I don't think I can help you." Yes, she refunded my money, but fat shaming from a personal trainer is wild to me. If you want to tone up and are skinny this may work for you, but if you fat and really want to lose significant weight, look for a different program. There are trainers/coaches out there that have no issues with modification and working with you where you are NOW. Kimae isn't one of those people. It has taken YEARS of therapy and finding the right kind of coach to be even able for me to say anything about the treatment I received at her hands....which is SO messed up because I really did like the way she would break down an exercise. She would explain how a specific movement would work which muscles. And I was truly learning a lot. That's why I was caught off guard when I was told me she couldn't help me.

My partner and I started bootcamps at around the same time, he chose a former athlete trainer who…read moreis an NSCA certified strength and conditioning specialist with an indoor facility and equipment. I went with Kimae's bootcamp thinking that certification didn't matter and having an all women outdoor bootcamp would give camaraderie and be nice for summer. From her website Kimae states she is certified in holistic fitness coaching and group training through the CHEK Institute. For some reason though she is not listed anywhere on the CHEK website as a trainer. From the start our bootcamps were very different, my partner's bootcamp class size averaged 10-15 students where as Kimae's is 40-60 students as she runs two classes at once for newbies and returnees. That is where the problems lay. With that many students Kimae is understandably overwhelmed, unable to check form or field questions. Half of the class time you are running laps as she gives instruction to the other group and then sends them off to run laps as she gives instructions to your group. My partner's bootcamp is entirely devoted to specific exercises that build on each other and each student is given adjustments to their form as they exercise. She is unable to meet the goals of her advertising from her website. More then half of the class miss the instruction she gives for the next set of exercises and have to ask each other. It is very difficult to ask a question as there are just too many participants. She had one entire set of class exercises taken from a magazine page which she emailed the link for. That was embarrassing for me compared to the specific workouts my partner was getting in his bootcamp. She has a weekly statement of nutrition advice she gives everyone and is unable to get more personalized then that. She canceled our group's second week calls and failed to provide the promised food diary feedback via email. After experiencing a mild ankle sprain and asking about the makeup policies, any suggestions for working around the sprain during the 2 weeks off needed for healing and requesting the nutrition food diary feedback she promised now 2 weeks late, Kimae then sent an email with a fake header saying it was from one week prior but she failed to check the reference ID's in the message source, and then she dropped me from the rest of the session and refunded my class fee telling me to sign up with another trainer. I took her suggestion and will now be working with my partner's trainer. I do hope she can run her business in a more sustainable and less shady way and provide a better service then what she is doing. Clients are more likely to continue working with you if you are honest about your mistakes. For anyone considering the bootcamp my advice would be to skip this one, there are better bootcamps in Seattle with more knowledgeable trainers.

I'm solidly into middle age (eek!) and trying to keep in shape just gets harder every year! Staying motivated and making time around a crazy family schedule can be tough. But, I know when I head over to MAX 10 for class that I'm going to work hard, have fun and that it's MY hour. I love the fact that I really forget about the 3 different carpools I need to coordinate, the homework that needs to be done, what I'm going to make for dinner that won't cause my kids to revolt, etc.... It's an intense hour and no time for the mind to wander! Classes each vary a little. Some days you work mostly on the bag, others with a partner.... boxing, kicking, core exercises, cardio ... you get some of each in every class. I particularly like the T/Th classes that focus mainly on strength training. Using weights, medicine balls, kettle bells, TRX... I'd let that area of my fitness slip considerably over the last few years and I'm back on track now. The instructors are all fantastic! Thoroughly explaining the different drills and proper form and keeping it moving. And, if you're like me and have issues with certain moves they are always able to give an alternative. The other thing I like about this program and this gym is that everyone is very friendly and supportive. Never done any martial arts?... don't worry. Haven't worked out in years?... that's ok. You will be able to jump into class and get moving right along with everyone else. Maybe you're really fit but looking to try something different... you'll be challenged. Give it a try!

I have done Crossfit in the past (and I'm still a huge fan) but I love how much more team-oriented this boot camp is.

As with any exercise program, you get out of it what you put into it.
