I bought a Groupon for the 28 day work out for Ian Fitness. I was actually impressed with the gym classes offered here. The fitness instructors, Chris and John were really nice and enthusiastic to help us lose weight and get fit. They asked us what our fitness goals were and we shared what we hoped to gain from the classes. In the 28 days, I went about 60% of the time. I wish they had a gym in North Seattle because the Queen Anne location is a bit of a drive for me, especially during high traffic time (6:15 p.m. class). There is plenty of parking at this facility. I really enjoyed the week day classes inside the gym. It doesn't get so crowded that you stand around. Both John and Chris were really great in helping us have the right posture while doing each work out routine so that we wouldn't insure ourselves. You end up doing a lot of squats and stomach exercises. During the first few classes, I was sore beyond belief. It really helped strengthen my muscles. On the weekends, you meet at a park in Queen Anne. While we worked out, we also played games. This was both entertaining and a great opportunity to become more in shape. The only minor critique I have is that their pricing structure is a bit steep. For those who don't have a great amount of disposable income, $100+ per month (can't remember the exact amount) is really expensive. I understand that gym memberships are expensive but this is on the pricier side. If you do the math, it is more than $1,000 a year for exercise classes. There is class pass offered in the Seattle area for $79, which gives you access to many different gyms around the city. I am aware that they have promotions but it only lasts for a limited amount of time. Aside from their pricing, I'd say that their instructors and facilities are top notch. I thoroughly enjoyed taking work out classes here. Oh yah, I forgot to mention that the recipes that the gym sends out are great. They email healthy recipes to those on their email chain. My friend who attends Ian, tried out a couple of dishes and really liked it. read more

Their website looks like it was built by a 13-year old banned from Facebook. It has no pricing information, no clear information on what they actually do, or class timings. What it has is a picture of Ian when he was 10. Why would anyone not looking for a middle school yearbook give a $*it about that? You'll have to ask him. It also has a bunch of before-after pictures of people who supposedly got results. Speaking of which... I called 3 times in the past week and each time got a voicemail that tried too hard to appear jovial. No one returned my calls. I don't know whether the people that train there are telepaths, or they actually stopped by in person just to get a brochure, but the cheesy website, fake voicemail greeting and non-existing customer service killed it for me. read more

I purchased the 28 day fitness jumpstart program groupon for $45 since this place was very close to my apartment. The groupon included $75 off a second month so I stayed for a second month as well. However, I could not justify paying full price for a third month. It was just too pricey for what I was getting. Pros: -Great instructors, I loved that John made the effort to learn everyone's name. -good music -workout was relatively fun Cons: -Some days the circuit would be set up so that you would be working two muscle groups consecutively -Extremely inconvenient hours. No class Friday evenings. Only morning class on Sat. And no class at all on Sundays. -The place is pretty small and can get really crowded certain days -Expensive membership after groupon expires read more

This was exactly what I needed. A fun workout class to motivate me into finally getting into the shape I want. I've even gotten in the habit of going to the 615am class and I'm the least thing from a morning person! The workouts are about perfect. It's high intensity interval training, so just when you think you can't take any more you move onto the next exercise. Typically 30secs per station, 6 stations, 3 rounds, 45 min. I just wish it wasn't so pricey. I got a 28 day groupon, but at a normal price it's 3-4 times what I want to pay for a gym. read more

I'm a business owner and with very little extra time on my hands, it takes a pretty incredible experience for me to find the time to write a review. It was easy to find the time to write a review for my trainer, Kevin Russell. Kevin gets results, I'm proof of that, having lost 25 pounds and counting, over the past 3 months. Never have I had the results I have experienced with Kevin. He's the fat whisperer. In all seriousness, I believe one of the reasons why Kevin has been so successful at helping me to lose weight is because of the science of it all that he brings to the table. The first several weeks I worked out with Kevin I seemingly made no progress, meaning no weight loss. I had insisted all along that I did not want to do much weights related training because I did not want to "bulk up". Kevin told me one day, in a nice professional way, that he didn't care what I thought about weights and that I was going to start doing them. Kevin also spent time developing a calorie and activity plan, specifically designed to meet my weight loss goals and deadlines I had established. He also helped by providing detailed lists of what I should and shouldn't eat and how much I could eat. Kevin has also closely monitored my diet, activities and weight loss, often tweaking things in each of these areas to help ensure that I am maintaining consistent and continue weight loss. I don't want to settle for anything less than the goals I have established for myself and I appreciate that Kevin feels the same way and pushes me towards those goals at all times. Needless to say, I have experienced steady and significant weight loss over the past few months, because of Kevin. I would highly recommend Kevin to anyone looking for guidance and support in maintaining a healthy life style and also for anyone who wants to get back in shape, like I did. I started out my training sessions a bit nervous having only been running for exercise. Kevin started out with some lower intensity workouts and before I even realized it, he had turned the workouts into high intensity sessions - in other words, Kevin has a talent for making workouts bearable, challenging and sometimes even fun. read more

So, Chris is pretty much the bomb. Seriously. As someone who has NEVER voluntarily worked out in her life, I decided that with my 30th birthday just around the corner, it was time to get rid of that extra 20 pounds I've been hanging onto for the last few years. I've been working out with Chris 3x a week since December, and have lost a significant amount of weight, body fat %, and inches! I'm stronger than I've ever been, and I might even consider wearing a bikini this summer for the first time since...umm....second grade? Ian gave me a straightforward meal plan to follow (and it involves a cheat day!!), and Chris kicks my bum for 30 minutes per session. We're always doing something different and it never gets boring. I didn't think 30 minute sessions would be long enough to see results, but it totally is. Chris uses every second of those 30 minutes to push me to my limits. I always say "I'm going to DIE!!!" and somehow Chris is always right - I never die, I just get skinnier. Chris is flexible with my schedule, motivating, and cares about ME - all things that I greatly appreciate. I definitely recommend IanFitness to anyone looking for a little gym motivation. It's an investment that is worth every penny. read more

I've been going to IanFitness Bootcamps for about a month now and I'm hooked. I've tried several bootcamps in Seattle, and this is one I'm sticking with. Most often, I go to Justin's class at 7:45pm. It's so much more than the standard squats, lunges, and pushups (but trust me, there are plenty of those), Justin has us do all sorts of whacky, fun, things. Burpees with a Bosu Ball? Sure! Crackin' the whip with heavy ropes on an upside down Bosu Ball? Yes please! It's adult play time! (Wait, not the dirty "adult" the "grown-up" kind.) Justin is super motivating in a really positive way. He doesn't call you out if you are slacking, but he let's you know that he noticed: "Don't quit!" I also love Chris' Saturday morning class. Chris is full of little nuggets of wisdom and inspiration. I need to hire him to come pump me up when I'm slacking at my job. Overall, all the bootcamp instructors I've had have been awesome. They make you work hard, but they're on-point with safety and technique. I highly recommend IanFitness. read more

I totally agree with others have said in their long post. I have been going to the gym regulary for about 2 yrs, but the last 20lbs have been hard to loose. So one day after being disappointed at being stuck at the Plateau Ian asked me to try his bootcamp. He said it was at 6:15, no way was I going to get up that early to exercise. But, being frustrated at being stuck and not seeing results from regular exercise, I knew I had to do something different. So Dec. 4th 2010 I tried it, I got up and went to his session. I was breathing so hard, I realized I was way out of shape, and it was very intense, but it was also really really fun. But the best part was, I was done by 7am and I didn't have to waste my 2 hours in the gym at night, I could actually spend that time with my two young kids. They were the reason, I stopped going to the gym in the first place, so I could spend more time with them. Ian's bootcamp gave me two hours in my day, it made my smarter at work, more motivated to get stuff done and totally changed my life. Not to mention the ab exercises reduced my gut, and I am totally ready for the beach, well not yet, I have only been going there for a few months, and I have to keep working on my diet. If you want to get smarter (wake up your brain early for work), loose weight the smart way, and take charge of your day, quit messing around at the gym for 2 hours and Join us at Ian' Bootcamp! Join the fun! read more

I am so grateful to Ian Fitness for connecting me with such a fabulous trainer - Natalie Joffe is the best! I grew up very athletic, but I let myself go while taking care of others and going through a couple of foot surgeries. After feeling so lethargic, unmotivated, and watching my self esteem plummet, I bit the bullet and signed up with Ian Fitness. I'm happy I Natalie is my trainer. She has been so positive, motivating, and challenges me every single time. Even when I think I can't do any more, she pushes my limits and I end up surprised and proud that I didn't give up. Natalie has inspired me and constantly reminds me that I can "do anything for 20 seconds!" I was never too self-motivated to work out, but now I honestly look forward to 3x/week of serious butt kicking with Natalie. I have gained strength both physically and mentally from this process. My road to a healthy lifestyle has always been a struggle, but I now see how doable and fun working out can be. Thanks, Natalie and Ian Fitness!!! read more

I'm a huge fan of IanFitness. I was out of the workout game for quite a while and the first couple sessions were difficult, but every time I went, Ian was there to give me the moral support and the proper education on techniques. It also helped that he was located in Queen Anne and offers several classes throughout the day. I highly recommend IanFitness if you need to change your exercise habits, need a lift in energy or want to go somewhere when you can work out and meet some really cool and health conscious people, IanFitness is the place! read more

IanFitness deserves 5 stars! I highly recommend this bootcamp to everyone. I started IanFitness (Queen Anne) 6 months before my wedding and have continued for over a year. I love the workouts because they are efficient, varied, and fun. I have never had a better total body workout in 45 mins (that I actually enjoy.) The class attracts all levels of fitness. It is group training, but each individual is able to work at their own pace and no one is left behind. Each class includes a 10 min warm up, 30 mins of continuous strength/cardio rotations, and a 5-10 min cool down/stretches. The strength and cardio exercises change every day and the class goes outside when weather allows to run the hill or do stairs. The instructors are knowledgable and motivate you to push yourself several reps outside your comfort zone. After a few weeks, I felt stronger and had more energy. I am a nurse and there is a lot of heavy lifting during my day. I noticed my core strength improved drastically and I no longer had neck and back aches after work. Right away, my muscles were sore, but I also noticed that I had better posture. Everyone looks more fit with good natural posture! On my wedding day, I felt strong, lean, and proud of my hard work. I no longer have a wedding dress as my goal, but the benefits are so good I couldn't stop there. We might have an ounce of sun and I want to be ready for it. read more

Chris is my trainer at IanFitness. He is nothing short of knowledgable, professional, kind, fun, motivating, driven - worth every dollar I spend. If you haven't worked with a trainer before, you don't know what you're missing. I am extremely self-motivated, but Chris takes my workouts to another level I didn't know existed. Under Chris' guidance, I've lost 25 lbs. and 10% body fat. I feel and look very different. But I'm not finished. For once in my life, I can do just about anything I set my mind to physically. I love running. I used to hate it. I like who I see in the mirror. I use to criticize that person daily. I now understand how very important physical fitness is to me, my life and my overall success as an individual in this world. My only regret is not starting sooner. Don't wait. Chris and IanFitness will help you get there - and you'll see results faster than you think. What keeps me committed? Variety is key - Chris keeps me and my body guessing. Every day feels new, which feels critical for both my commitment to my workouts and my overall progress and fitness. Intensity of workouts - I feel energized and enhanced by the 30-minute intense workouts. There's no way I could achieve the same intensity on my own. Chris keeps things moving in almost a sneaky way; before I know it, I'm exhausted and the workout is over. Guidance and personalization - Chris is someone I trust to take me to the next level. He understands me, my body, my goals. I wouldn't spend the time and money if I didn't believe we could be successful together. read more

Ian started his first "IanFitness" boot camp session in May 2010 and I haven't missed a session! The early start time definitely caused hesitation at first but now I feel incomplete when I don't do boot camp at 6:15am. Since May I have noticeably lost weight, gained strength and have increased my endurance. Ian offers an equal combination of encouragement and pushing you to do your best. He is friendly, caring and interested in helping you achieve all of your fitness goals. Not only do I feel stronger, look leaner and feel better, it feels pretty bad ass when people are thoroughly impressed that I wake up and go to boot camp day after day. Try it for yourself! read more

I have loved my last two years at IanFitness Magnolia. It truly has been the perfect solution for my fitness needs. I wanted something closeby and quick, but challenging and fun, and I found it at IanFitness Magnolia. The bootcamps are an awesome workout, there are multiple options throughout the day to go, they are a 45 minute duration of high intensity sweat, and the environment is energetic. I give Daviid D Delgado a LOT of credit for the Magnolia vibe. He has taken Magnolia IanFitness under his wing and made it better. He genuinely cares about the environment, including the organization of equipment, safety, and cleanliness. Not to mention, he is so incredibly knowlegeable about health/fitness, he challenges us every day, he knows everybody by name, he really changes up the the routines, he is motivating, he geniunely cares about your fitness goals, and ultimately you can tell he puts a lot of effort and love into his craft each and every day. He should be cloned. Thanks for all you do for the Magnolia crew David!! read more

It all started with Groupon and I LOVED it!! I went for about 4 months then realized I couldn't quit afford it, so tried a few other places for a while. I finally realized that I was motivated the most when I went to Ian fitness and felt more accomplished when I went. So now I am back and it is worth every penny! I love that all the coaches know who I am, they know when to push me that extra bit that I didn't think I could do, and they celebrate our milestones! What gym gives you a free t-shirt when you have accomplished 100 workouts?! This one :) can't recommend Ian fitness enough! read more

I have injuries and some chronic issues that have gotten in the way of my fitness goals. Decided to try a personal trainer. Due to the great reviews I called Ian. I went over my issues and asked him if I was someone he thought he could work with. He said yes. We discussed times for me to come in and he said he needed to look over his schedule and call me back. I told him that was great and I looked forward to getting started. I never heard back. My sense is he didn't want to deal with someone who might be more of a challenge. He didn't seem very enthusiastic on the phone. I found an amazing trainer that I started with last week who does full hour sessions so I'm glad that Ian bailed. It ended up benefitting me. read more

Great bootcamps, but horrendous billing practices. Watch your credit card carefully. I cancelled several months ago, and was erroneously billed for an extra month. They apologized, but said that they needed three days notice to cancel the membership. When I pointed out that I did give three days, it turned into a convoluted argument about timing, emails, and their policies. They offered a free first month if I chose to come back, which didn't suffice, so I disputed the charge on my credit card. Fast forward three months, and the billing has mysteriously started again. Luckily the credit card company takes care of it, but this company seems to be a giant hassle. Too bad, as their boot camps really are great. read more

Having just moved to Seattle from Detroit, I was ready to make the change to a much healthier lifestyle. By luck of the draw, I came across IanFitness and said, "Why not?" I have been doing the bootcamps since Dec 2010 and I cannot say enough great things about this enterprise. The sessions are 45 minutes long but it feels like it lasts 4.5 minutes. There are separate stations that you only work for 1 minute at a time. With rotating between the different stations, I don't even realize how quickly the time is passing. I love it. Before I know it, 45 minutes are up, I'm sweaty and feeling great. The bootcamps are definitely doable and are the complete opposite of boring. They keep me on my toes and coming back for more. So let's talk about results. Since I have started I have lost 30 pounds and I intend on increasing that number. I have literally lost inches around my body and have had to by a new wardrobe. IanFitness has been the key to my weight loss success. IanFitness Bootcamp is such a fun, achievable, user-friendly health-improving regimen. Thank you!!! read more

So the other day, I was determined to make it to one of Ian's classes before going out of town. I was running late at work and if I took my normal bus route, I knew I would not get there in time. My only option was to take a taxi, so I did. That's how much I appreciate my workouts at Ian Fitness. What I love about the classes is that they are high energy, intense workouts, that move quickly. I am able to push myself harder because I know we rotate activities often. Every time I go we are doing something new, which keeps it interesting and I am always getting a full body workout. It's also encouraging having a group of people, all at different levels of physical fitness, struggling right along with you. At the end I am exhausted, but feel great! read more

I have been taking Ian's bootcamp at the Queen Anne Prorobics / Seattle Gym since November. Ian and his team (Chris and Evie) are great. It is hard work, but since they are always mixing activities up, it stays interesting. I learned new exercises but most of all I learned I could do more/ go longer than I thought I could - definitely tools I can continue to use. read more

What can I say other than ALL the trainers at IanFitness are absolutely amazing, not only are they skilled in the thero workouts but they are the most thoughtful and encouraging trainers that create a very warm and welcoming environment that makes you always want to do better with each work out! You certainly will not regret working out with these guys!! read more

I found Ian Fitness through a deal site, like I do with many of my other fitness programs, but usually once the deal is over I move on to my next deal. However, I liked Ian's bootcamp so much that I'm coming back. I loved the early morning sessions because they are a great way to start my day off. Ian and Chris are very motivating trainers.I would recommend Ian fitness to anyone. read more

IanFitness bootcamp is amazing! I am in love! The instructors are great and always motivate you. Sessions are always different and challenging. I finally found a workout that I really enjoy and I am already seen the results. I highly recommend it! Great price, great location, great people, great workout! read more

I've been going to 6:30 am bootcamp since May and it has turned me into a more fit, more positive person. Can't thank them enough! Chris is a great morning trainer to push you to your next level. Can't thank them enough! read more

I've been dragging myself out of bed at 5:30 most mornings for quite a few months now and going to the Seattle Gym Chris' early morning bootcamp. This is a fantastic class! Chris is incredibly enthusiastic and inspiring even early early in the morning and he makes sure the 45 minutes you spend there is worth every painful minute. I've never had a workout that is more effective for strength and stamina and it only takes an hour of your time. So get up early and get yourself to Chris' class and feel better about yourself every day! read more

I've been going to the Queen Anne location at 6:15 am with Chris for about a year. The classes are typically around 15-20 people at all levels and Chris encourages everyone to challenge themselves at whatever level that may be. There's plenty of variety in the workouts, so you won't get bored & Chris will walk around during the workout giving tips and corrections. If you ever need a modification for an injury, just ask. (also, if you ever want a modification to make an exercise more of a challenge, just ask!) During the week, classes are predominately indoors, but when the weather is nice, we'll head outside for a bit of hills or stairs to get some fresh air. I'd encourage anyone to give IanFitness a try! read more

(This review is for the personal training sessions at IanFitness, as I have yet to try the bootcamp) I am not new to working out, and I have had my share of trainers over the past few years. As a result, I am skeptical about trainers mainly because the workouts are usually the same week over week, not customized to your fitness level, and many are not open to listening to what you want to accomplish. IanFitness trainers are one of the best trainers I have ever had. Here is why I will continue to train with them: 1. Challenging workouts: The workouts are new every week, the circuit moves quickly and is challenging, and it's designed to give you a total body workout. For example, a workout incorporates a combination of the the TRX, Bosu Ball, Rope Slams, and standard weights/machines. More importantly, the workouts are adapted to my strength/energy levels; the intensity has increased since I have gotten stronger from working out here. 2. Understand Fitness: It's never just about today's workout. They always pay attention to form, teach you to do the exercise the right way, and ensure that they address any weaknesses in your body. 3. Listen: A) They know exactly why I train with them and what I want to accomplish, so they make sure I am seeing results. B) If ever during a workout I feel bad pain, I am NEVER forced to "push through the pain". They always stop to either figure out why I am hurting, or they change the workout. 4. Honest/Flexible: They understand life happens. If I can't make a session here or there, they are willing to make it up some other time. Definitely NO b.s., drama, or meatheads here. I have experience training with Ian and Steve, and would highly recommend both of them. read more

I have been working out with Chris, from Ian Fitness, for the past 18 months. He has been my trainer through an entire pregnancy and now post pregnancy. Two totally different fitness needs that he was totally up for. He is really dedicated to my fitness needs and I feel like he cares about getting me back to my pre-pregnancy self. He always comes up with new and interesting exercises, which is great for keeping me going. Simply said, Chris is awesome! read more

IanFitness is a great group workout program! The Laurelhurst location trainers are really good guys and very motivating. I feel challenged going to class everyday and it never gets boring. I feel much stronger and my endurance improved. Im not giving 5 stars just because the Laurelhurst location doesn't offer later classes... Only 7:15AM which was too early for me! read more

IanFitness jump started my life. I have never had success with being healthy, as I always just associated weight with health. I have never worked out and enjoyed it, I have never eaten healthy and enjoyed it .... that is until IanFitness' Little Black Dress Bootcamp. I learned how fun circuit training can be, felt support from the staff and the bootcamp members and finally learned exactly what it meant to eat healthy. The self-reflection helped me to understand what excuses I was telling myself and gave me a new positive message to focus on. Ian and the staff at IanFitness sent daily motivation and helped me NEVER GIVE UP. This is just the beginning - I cannot wait to continue this life style - I am FINALLY a healthy person and I am taking pride in that! I recommend a boot camp - they are 6-week programs that offer a good plan and unlimited circuit classes read more

I started going to Ian Fitness after a friend of mine recommended it to me. She had been going for several months and loved it. The class is great- Ian changes up the exercises every day and brings us outside when the weather is nice. Ian is also very friendly and flexible and takes concerns into serious consideration. He sends us all a text message every morning to motivate us. The stations are each only about 30 seconds to a minute, so there is no time to get bored or frustrated and Ian is really good at walking around the room and motivating us. Much better and more fun than the gym. The 45 minutes seems to go by much faster because we are constantly moving from one station to another. The only downside was the time of the classes- either early morning or late-ish night. This works perfectly for my working friends but not as much for students. All in all, highly recommended! read more

I have been doing Ian's Boot Camp at ProRobics in Laurelhurst for 9 months now and love it. The workouts are varied and challenging and the time passes quickly . Great increase in my strength and endurance - more than I expected at my age (over 60). Nate and Dustin are the instructors there and they are great! Supportive, encouraging, excellent at giving minor suggestions that improved the outcome and prevent injury. I look forward to each session as much as I dread it because it is hard. read more

Ian's Fitness is a fantastic work out. Great trainers and great workouts that make you feel great afterwards. I actually look forward to attending these workout classes and leave feeling motivated. It's a great environment and the results speak for themselves. I would definitely recommend it to anyone in the Seattle area. read more

IanFitness is absolutely amazing! I was referred to Ian by my brother for training. I started in July of 2012. In 9 months, I was able to lose 70 pounds. His investment in each of his clients (me included) makes all of the difference in the world. Not only did having someone to be accountable help- but I was able to ask questions throughout the process anytime I needed help. In addition I have worked with several of his trainers- and all of them are amazing! I will be forever grateful for his help, enthusiasm and such a positive experience. I HIGHLY recommend Ian and all of his trainers. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!! I would consider myself a workout junkie with a hint of ADD, in the respect that I love working out and being pushed but get board very quick. When it comes to classes I have done every type of yoga, boxing classes, spinning classes, zumba, P90X, and barre classes, but nothing compares to Ian fitness bootcamps. After hearing about Ian's camps from some mutual friends I explored his website and figured "why not?" I have now been consistently going for over a year, which for me says a lot! I quickly became addicted to the high intensity circuit training and supportive atmosphere of the 6:15am class. Chris the instructor was able to modify the exercises for me whether I was have a great day and was able to push even harder or some old volleyball injuries flared up and the exercises has to be altered to protect my joints and muscles. Chris always made sure we left that gym exhausted, prepared for the day, and proud of our accomplishments! When I go a new job and had to switch from the morning class to the evening spot at 7:45pm I was a little hesitant and to be honest sad to leave the morning gang. However my reservations were quickly set aside, as the evening instructor, Justin, was just as amazing! These two guys truly have your best interest at heart and want to see you achieve your fitness goals. I have received nothing but support and encouragement well getting an amazing workout in 45mins! With a combination of high intensity cardio and weight lifting I have yet to get board and I whole-heartedly recommend these classes to everyone!!! read more

I have been training with Kevin from IanFitness for more than four months now and it has had a very positive effect on my fitness and overall health. At the beginning, the positive part was simply training three times a week. By having a set schedule with Kevin, I was accountable to stay with the schedule. Also, the training was very diverse and incorporated overall body fitness and strengthening. Then, I noticed that I started changing my diet and other lifestyle habits. The result is that I have lost 20 pounds in the past two months. I have lost this weight just by exrercising regularly and eating wholesome, nutritious food. I am 55 and thanks to Kevin and IanFitness, I feel fit and healthy for the first time in a long while, and continuing to improve in those areas! read more

I never thought I would be someone with a "personal trainer," isn't that what celebrities have? Well, yes, but why was that stopping me? I found out about IanFitness shortly after joining The Seattle Gym in Queen Anne. After receiving Ian's initial email offering a free consultation and workout, I decided to give it a try. I've always played sports and dragged my butt to the gym, but my workouts were starting to bore me, and I wasn't seeing many results. Ian was quick to respond to my inquiry, and we had a meeting set up within a week. I decided to sign up for 2x a week for 3 months, plus boot camp. I've now been working out with Ashley (who is fabulous in a butt kicking kind of way) since January, and try to get to a couple of bootcamp classes a week. In the past three months, I've started seeing results that I hadn't really seen before. I've lost some of the weight I want to (still more time to go!), have more energy, and can actually feel the muscles in my arms withOUT flexing! I can also do REAL push-ups, and I don't bat an eyelash when Ashley says the word "burpee." The best part about IanFitness is that no two workouts are the same. Ashley and my bootcamp trainers are constantly throwing new things into the mix, keeping my body guessing and my brain active. I'm never bored anymore, and one half hour workout feels so much more productive than the slow paced, hour long workouts I was doing before. I can only say great things about this program - in fact, I originally signed up for the three month program, and as I started getting near the end, decided to add an additional three months. I highly recommend IanFitness, both personal training sessions as well as bootcamp. I'm excited to continue working towards my goals with Ian and his team! read more

I have been going to the morning bootcamp classes at Ian fitness, and I absolutely love it! Seriously though, as worlds worst morning person, a workout at 6:15 am is the last thing that sounds good to me- but the bootcamp class with Chris is an intense workout, and is now my favorite way to start the day! The workouts are set up as stations, and I love switching up the movements- makes for a really solid all over body workout! read more

Two things I hate more than anything: waking up early and working out. Yet I still signed up for 6:15am boot camp classes at the Queen Anne location. And my world didn't end! I've tried all types of exercise (pilates, barre, yoga, traditional gym workouts on a treadmill) and the boot camp classes are by far the most enjoyable/ tolerable. Time goes by fast, too. I'm skinny, but not in shape, and the boot camp classes were totally doable for me. I was dead by the end, but I was always able to finish. There were many people in camp who clearly worked out, had tons of muscles and were in great physical shape. The boot camp classes were great for their skill set too, because they can just grab higher weights, or do more reps, or whatever those fit people do. Nobody was judging or comparing. Everyone there was just focused on themselves and doing their best at whatever level they were at. When I signed up, I did so only for a month because I knew my upcoming work schedule was going to be crazy after that. After my month was up, I noticed 2 additional months of charges on my credit card. I emailed the gym, Ian called me back right away, apologized, and reversed the charges. It was that easy. I was prepping for some huge hassle, like you'd get at LA Fitness if you ever dared cancelling or they overcharged. I expected the traditional runaround "well I don't see any signed paperwork saying you wanted to cancel..." I had verbally said when I was signing up I only wanted a month, but then started panicking if I remembered to sign something or if I had some kind of documented proof. No need for all that worry. They just paid me back. LA Fitness likes to do this thing where they make you write a letter to California to cancel your membership (you can't just go in and talk to a human being working there). So I followed all the procedures and wrote my letter and guess what? I got billed another month anyway, as they claimed they "never received it." Turns out, LA Fitness does this to almost everyone. That's right, I googled it. Unless you send it certified mail and can prove you sent it, they will deny receiving it and make you send it in again (this time certified of course, to "prove" it). This is how they can charge everyone who wants to cancel an additional month. That's probably millions of extra dollars. If this hasn't been a class action lawsuit already, I'm shocked. It should be. This was also a few years back so maybe they aren't are morally corrupt as they once were? But I doubt that. This gym is awesome. Everyone is nice. They have great customer service. The boot camps are really effective. It's absolutely worth paying a little extra and going to a GOOD gym. Your workouts are better, the staff is better, they are friendly and helpful if something goes awry, and you're supporting a small local business. They say when you support small businesses, you are helping people put food on their table and send their kids to college. When you go to those big chains, you are helping the CEO buy another yacht. I'll be back! Thank you! read more

Hello IanFitness, if you want folks like me to not think your company is a scam and these great yelp reviews are not plants, it would help to: (1) list the cost on your website; and (2) have the person answering the phone answer with something like "IanFitness" rather than just "hello," and make sure that person can answer a basic question such as, "how much does it cost?" I was super excited to try you out . . . read more
