He explained…read morethe importance of the anterior, lateral, and posterior regions and we find areas where I need to improve on. I love collaborating with Ray because he is very, VERY knowledgeable. He can breakdown your workouts into simple formats and he can explain things into science when necessary. Our communication was amazing! When I have an injury, I say it. And the moment I say it, he immediately knows what to do and he shifts gears to work around it. I even mentioned about my left knee ACL surgery and guess what? He helped me work around that too! My goal was to get back into shuffling (electronic music dance form) and he pinpointed the areas where I need to work on most in order for me to effectively get back into my goal. He is such an amazing Trainer. The team is very welcoming and it feels like a second family.

Ray is a fantastic trainer with deep knowledge of his craft. I booked the 3 month Lean Out program…read morewith him and he was diligent in explaining all my nutrition and macro needs while ensuring I understood it all. In fact, he spent almost 4 hours with me (program covers only 2) just to explain everything in meticulous detail and cover all the modifications required for my individual health needs. He gave me twice the amount of time at no extra charge - he did it just because he cares. I had never worked with a trainer before and it made all the difference working with a professional like Ray. He was extremely attentive, motivating, and FUN! We became friends and I always looked forward to my training sessions. Another big advantage to book with PureResults is because Ray explains the reasoning behind each exercise and the reasoning behind the order we do it in because he cares about instilling that knowledge in his clients as well. I learned more about my body and how to take care of it working with Ray in this short time than I have in the last 10 years I've been trying to yo-yo diet and work out on my own. Your money is well spent here - Ray and May are honest, hard-working, knowledgeable, caring, and awesome individuals who want nothing more than to change peoples' lives for the better. Thank you for everything you've done for me and I can't wait to continue ASAP. BOOK YOUR SESSIONS HERE!!!! You won't regret it.

There are no words for how amazing training with Adaeze is, but I'm going to try. Her energy and passion is unmatched. She is absolutely who you want to go to if you are looking for knowledge, inclusion, encouragement, and all around fun, to keep you moving forward on your fitness journey. Being able to train with a black-women owned business in Woodinville, WA has been one of my greatest joys since moving to the greater Seattle area. If you are looking for in person personal training, online training, or even corporate wellness, Adaeze is who you should hire. No questions asked.

Seeing everyone posting their videos talking about how a challenge was, and everyone posting that they completed the challenge throughout the day, gave me the strength to push through and finish mine. She gave us encouragement and form videos on top of the daily videos showing us what we were doing and how to do it! I also loved the fact that we could do the challenges pretty much anywhere, and not only at home or in a gym... I found myself doing the sets in a park, in a parking lot, really anywhere I had some space and a little bit of time to complete a set. I felt so so supported throughout the whole process and I really appreciate that! I cant wait to work on another of her programs with her!

The draw for ECA over big places like LA/24 hour was the smaller business vibe & I wanted to "shop local". I also liked the childcare options. 1. when we signed up at the Ballinger Village location with Brody, he made a big show of telling us (my husband and I) how they're a small business and they're not out to get money, he said most of them are just personal trainers or nutritionists, NOT BUSINESSMEN (i remember this line because he repeated it several times). So he encouraged me to sign up for the champions class. I asked specifically if I could cancel if it didn't fit my needs/baby schedule. He said "of course. But I'd recommend you try it for at least 60 days so you can really see if it works for you. And if you still need to cancel, just reach out. We're really chill here." This was near verbatim. 2. After more than a couple months, I found the champions class great for others but not for me/my toddler's schedule so I emailed to cancel which was the ONLY option I was given. And the email response was short, rude, and included a "$299 + tax downgrade fee" for the cancellation. Mind you, I wasn't trying to cancel our membership. Just MY champions access. I told them what Brody had told us just months prior and they absolutely didn't budge. That's fine. It's policy - I get it. But this is totally the kind of stuff big businesses pull and they should be up front. 3. We ended up completely cancelling our memberships (both of us) because we thought this way of business was shady and when you think about the cost and what they offer v. what big gyms offer (LA/24) then you'll realize it's absolutely not worth it. all that talk in the beginning is EXACTLY what it sounds like. a sales pitch. don't be sucked in. **I will say the teachers at the childcare are above and beyond. I have told everyone I know about our ECA experience and hopefully saved people quite a bit of $$$ but I have nothing negative to say about the teachers at childcare. ** in case my review is too long. read this reddit forum. https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/oanvzy/emerald_city_athletics_a_toxic_manipulative_and/

I was referred to this little gym in the Bitter Lake area by a business client of mine who was a…read moreclient of the gal that runs this place. She explained the science behind the Super Slow exercise protocol. I was a very skeptical that you could build significant muscle in only one 10-min workout per week. I went home and spent an hour or more Googling research about this. I also read the book she recommended "Body By Science." It all seemed to make sense scientifically, but I asked myself, if this actually works, why isn't most everyone I know that works out doing it? Well I found out after my first session. It IS only 10-12 minutes, but in order for it to work right, you have to do the exercises with proper form and push your muscles to failure for several seconds which is VERY uncomfortable to put it mildly. The ironic thing is that this form of working out is actually much safer than many other forms, especially crossfit which seems to currently be all the rage. So I think it's a combination of people not believing you can get significant results in 10 minutes a week (I actually am doing it twice a week - but to build muscle you still can only do it once a week), and, some people are just cutout for the level of "torture" you have to slowly endure toward the end of each exercise. But for someone busy like myself that hates working out, it's a very efficient way to gain muscle. I sometimes try to do the workout by myself when I don't want to drive across the bridge but I never get as sore as I do when I do it with Anne Marie. I'm not sure if it's something about her machines or more likely she makes me push myself harder. After my 10 minute workout all I have to do is make sure I eat enough (I use a food intake journal app) and make sure I get enough sleep. The result has been as good if not better than any other type of workout I've tried. The only downside is this is a by appt only small gym in an odd location and a bit of a trek for me. I wish she had a gym on the Eastside. The equipment looks a bit dated too (but it all works), and there's never more than one other person there training so if you want to gawk at people (or people to gawk at you) in a club-like atmosphere, this place may not be for you. I consider this place and the workout she is using a hidden secret in Seattle. While the 10-12 minutes is pretty intense, I still try to get some additional cardio in twice a week, but I typically get that through sports and recreational activities I enjoy instead going to the gym. When I try to explain this program to my friends and they are skeptical, all I have to do is take my shirt off to convince them. LOL. I also Googled SuperSlow Philip Alexander (the doctor that help pioneer this technique) to read more about it and understand it better. Or SuperSlow Study Switzerland. I am surprised I never heard of SuperSlow before!
