Went to fosters as a drop in and was met by James, he was a very kind man that welcomed me in, I…read morefelt a very welcoming vibe from his school, he is extremely knowledgeable l and the gym was very clean, his students were all very skilled and non of them had an ego especially for someone visiting, if I lived in Seattle I would definitely sign up here, my favorite is the advance class for blue belts and up it's definitely a concept I wish other gyms would incorporate, this is an incredible place and I hope that anyone reading this would give this place a try. James is the best

This is the only school with multiple classes throughout the day running 7 days a week. You won't…read morefind that at any other school. I trained three years at fosters and had to quit due to a medical condition. A few years later, I decided I was able to train again and started looking at schools. Bigger brand name schools like GB doesn't compared. The lack of classes 7 days of week left something to be desired. Foster is a family atmosphere. Friday nights was my second home. Back to back classes with a bunch of people just having fun. So much great experience. I recommended fosters over any other school plus it's in a warehouse not a strip mall like most schools!!!

I have been personally going to this gym since it first opened and have had no problems at all…read moregetting my exercise in. Working out at this location has been pretty good. Just that the TVs never work, and a few of the Treadmills are broken, so you have to find one you have used over and over. The water fountain doesn't seem to be cleaned regularly and the bathroom/Men's locker room is too small for a gym this big, so I rarely go in there... Besides those cosmetic issues here and there, I haven't encountered anything else. Enjoy working out at this gym whenever I can, whether it's very early in the morning or later in the afternoon. Parking can be a hassle during busy hours, though. So, I try to avoid that and attempt to drop in during the non-hectic times...

Fitness Quest is a no-frills-GYM kind of gym. There is no towel service, no smoothie bar, and (for…read morethe purple lovers) no black diamond membership club. Grunting is encouraged and so are gallon sized water bottles. The changing room isn't pretty and neither is the "spa". The staff is like family and the gym is dirty. It's not meant to be comfortable. It has lots of weights and lots of bright, heavy duty, overhead lighting. It's old school... And I like it.

The owner and lead instructor is Erik Dallberg, an expert all three of the major MMA spots (Wrestling, Muy Thai Kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.) Even though Erik's background is in BJJ, he was successful in his first year as a community college wrestler. Erik is a great instructor who walks you through steps as you need them and gives plenty of individualized attention as long as he's not already helping someone else. Highly recommended for beginner, intermediate, and advanced fighters.

It's been two years since I've signed up, and while the first year was more sporadic, I have been…read moregoing to Ring Demon 2-3 times a week for a year now. And let me tell you, Eric Dahlberg is as good as it gets in terms of coaching. I gave a couple of other martial art places a trial before settling with Ring Demon. Eric doesn't just teach you boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, or jiu-jitsu, he teaches you a way to think about martial arts in general---relying on technique, energy, and leverage instead of strength to defeat your opponents. He is also ALWAYS willing to help out and ask any questions---no private lessons required. I was intimidated at first because the only martial arts experience I had prior to going enrolling in Ring Demon was a few weeks of trial classes and a year of karate way back in high school. But the school's approach to helping new students learn and integrate made me get past my comfort zone and eventually be comfortable enough to learn and spar. Summary: Great coach, great training partners, great environment to learn.
