I got to try two classes at NW fitness project through Seattle fitness week. I did one strength training class and one performance conditioning class. Both classes had small group sizes with friendly coaches who offered encouragement and form correction. I liked the form of the strength class - every class focuses on a main lift with some accessory work. The performance and conditioning class had agility and power drills. I thought both classes really complimented each other! read more

I visited Seattle for two weeks and the NW Fitness Project group classes, working out with such wonderful trained professionals. It was an amazing experience and also humbled me after 700 plus solid core classes. I am stronger from the sand bags and ready for another visit. Thank you Matt-man and Kyle for being responsive to my needs and welcoming me to the group without any concerns about my ability. Appreciate you all. See you next time. Abby read more

NW Fitness project was my first experience with personal training and I couldn't be happier! As a total newbie to strength training, I was very intimated but was immediately relieved that the gym was super welcoming and my trainer Anna is amazing. She is always supportive, pushes me just the right amount and makes every session super fun. I feel so lucky I found a place to learn how to train and workout in a safe and supportive environment! read more

I've been working out at NWFP for about a month and couldn't be having a better experience. I've taken classes with both Kyle and Jonny and am always impressed with the enthusiasm, creative programming, and individual attention they bring to every session. I don't know that I've done the same exercise twice since I began - these are some truly creative and challenging workouts! I also love that they keep class sizes small (less than 10 people) so you have the physical space and personal coaching to have a great workout every time. Super amped that I found NWFP - highly recommend to folks at all fitness levels looking for a welcoming, yet challenging atmosphere with great coaches. read more

It's one of the only 2 gyms that I've ever looked forward to going to my entire life. I started with some class packs in 2019, did some personal training and now I'm a member. I've gotten stronger during this time. The space is well equipped and clean.  I appreciate that they follow mask and vaccination mandates.  During covid,  this gym has been a big part of my social life. Love the trainers! I have a pinched nerve and bad lower back. They do a great job of coaching me through my workouts and making sure I'm working with weights that are within my limits. They also take the time to explain what muscle groups are working and proper alignment which I find educational. They follow a good warm up and cool down routine which has kept me injury free and helped with flexibility. The workouts are always fun.  Kyle has turned on the volume on dad jokes,  now that he's a newish dad.   They're very responsive to emails,  questions and concerns during business hours. I love the community as well. There are people from all age groups and fitness levels. I get inspired working out with them and aim to get a bit better and stronger everyday. Not every gym would inspire you to do that. :) read more

As a fat person, who often feels intimidated by gyms and athletes, I can't tell you how much this welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental gym (and it's trainers) has meant to me. I have been training with Matt for more than two years and this gym has become a reliable, safe place for me to workout even when the rest of my life gets really, really hard. Don't get me wrong, the group training classes are no stroll in the park, but if you keep going you WILL get stronger. If you live in Seattle, love to sweat, and/or want to join a positive, uplifting gym, definitely check out NW Fitness Project. All race, gender identity, sexuality, and waistlines are safe here. read more

Come join this growing Fitness Family! I've been tinkering around with fitness and going to all sorts of gyms since about 2003 and NWFP has everything I've been missing. Everyone at NWFP wants you to succeed at your goals. Kyle & Matt have put their passion to work and are showcasing their wealth of knowledge with workouts that challenge all abilities. Both guys make sure they keep educated on new techniques and in 10 months with NWFP I've yet to see the same workout twice. Sometimes people worry about the price of a gym...and that seems silly. I know people that debate more about the type of gas they put in their cars, the food they buy for their pets or the happy hour they are going to attend and they are cheap when it comes to budgeting for what they're willing to invest on themselves... I'm guilty. When Kyle and Matt opened NWFP I decided to invest in my health and so far NWFP is paying off in spades! AND THERE'S YOGA on Sundays! I recommend trying that too!! read more

Matt, Kyle, and the training staff at NW Fitness Project have created an amazing community of athletes from all fitness backgrounds. I've been training with Matt for about a year now and have been attending group classes at NW Fitness Project for a bit longer. As a personal trainer, Matt has consistently exceeded my expectations. I work as a mountain guide and lost a bunch of upper body strength after two expeditions to the Himalaya -- Cho Oyu and Chomolungma (Everest). Matt has accommodated my unusual work schedule, programmed for my esoteric fitness goals, and helped me get back into the best shape of my life. He goes the extra mile to research what types of movements and adaptations are worthwhile to train and is extremely receptive to feedback. I cannot recommend him enough, whether you are trying to lose a few pounds or tackle a big athletic endeavor. The group fitness class are also amazing. As co-owners of the gym, Matt and Kyle have created a welcoming and supportive environment that transforms each of us into athletes for these well-programmed and challenging group fitness classes. While the classes are well-attended, Matt and Kyle are able to provide individual feedback and encouragement throughout the class. This is my regular dose of metabolic conditioning and HIIT. read more

I love this place. I've had two ACL repairs + a bonus knee surgery, a tricky lower back and currently an arthritic big toe. Think I can't train hard? Think again. Matt Sky is teaching me to work out smarter, not harder. I feel so strong and am slowly letting my cardio addiction go. That said, I did push the sled for 2 minutes straight yesterday. Don't keep getting injured, try this. I'll be hitting the slopes soon and just hung up my mountain bike for the winter. 54 is the new 34 when you train smart. read more

NW Fitness Project - Don't forget to breath - Trainers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I started training with Kyle nearly a decade ago at another gym. It's been wonderful to see him grow his own fitness brand. Kyle is great at working with both beginner and seasoned athletes. He is great at getting you to push you to become faster and stronger in a safe and sustainable way. I would highly recommend this gym. read more

I still can't believe how lucky I am to have been connected to Kyle and the NW Fitness Project team. After a year of trying to heal my never-ending back pain and core weakness with physical therapy, my journey led me to Kinetic Sports Rehab and then NW Fitness Project. I've made more gains in the last three months than in the last year. I can finally ride my horse again, bear crawl and do a burpee-without pain. I honestly didn't think any of those things would be possible after the year I've had with even tying my shoes and lifting groceries almost impossible on some days. I started out in personal training with Kyle where he performed a detailed assessment and personal plan to my needs. Every workout was detailed to my status at that particular time. He was even able to adjust mid workout and sometimes mid movement to make adaptations for my needs. It is amazing what he sees and knows without me even having to say anything. I have now graduated to group training where the personal detail continues-even in a small group setting. It continues to amaze me how he is able to continuously make adjustments for me (and other clients) while still giving us all a great workout. This is an amazing place. The facility is impeccable and the community even more incredible. My husband has also now become a member and we both continue to feel grateful for having found the NW Fitness Project. This place has been nothing short of life altering for me, and I can't thank Kyle enough. read more

An excellent gym. The trainers focus on motivation, correct form with modifications if needed and productive sweat! Group workouts are fantastic! It's a mix of competition and camaraderie; the group helps my "Seattle dark sky blues". My trainer, Matt Holland gives me motivation, education and muscles. I am a 51 year old grandma that can lift, run and play with my grandbabies and I feel great! Thanks Matt! Good company, good health and good times "Exercise the poor person's plastic surgery" read more

I don't have a membership at NW Fitness Project since I have ClassPass, so I've done two group training classes here. So different from other group trainings I've done! The groups are smaller so the instructor can make sure everyone has the correct postures, available to answer questions, and encourage you. You can immediately tell everyone that comes here really loves the environment, everyone is so friendly and supportive to each other. There's showers available, snacks for purchase, and bike racks right outside the studio too. read more

My husband and I are as far from 'gym rats' as you can imagine. We are active in our daily life, but have never been consistent gym goers, until we joined NW Fitness Project. I think the trainers kept us coming back. We really enjoyed spending our mornings with the staff there. We got super strong, learned a lot about properly working out, and enjoyed going to the gym! I would recommend anyone reading this ad take advantage of their free trial class. You will sweat your BOOTY OFF but it feels so good. You will probably be laughing and smiling along the way. read more

I am updating my review for the 3rd time because at this point I have been training with Matt for over 3 years now and they moved to a fabulous new space! The old location was in the Westlake/South Lake Union area and when I first heard they were moving to Fremont, I was a bit worried about the parking because in certain parts of Fremont it can be really hard to find. But despite being in the heart of Fremont, they are just slightly further down the street and party is pretty easy to find. I have had to circle the block a few times, but no more than 5 minutes looking for parking. And if you want to get lunch or coffee after your training session? no problems, there are a million option all within a short walk. I only train during the daytime, but if you are coming in the evening, do pay close attention to the parking signs as they have a lot of restrictions and many areas don't let you park after 8pm unless you have a permit parking pass. Ok now the new space itself is fantastic! Lots of fabulous new equipment, my favorite of which is a speed skating slide board. Not sure what that is? Neither did I, till Matt brought it out. Check out this Utube video, it is so cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY_4pjozF1w They also really listened to our feedback & got showers! There's 2 spacious shower rooms with a bench for your stuff. Just remember to bring your towel & hair dryer & you are all set. Need a locker? The new lockers have programmable locks. They also have an automatic water bottle dispenser. They have a bay door, not sure if that is the correct term, kind of like a garage door that they can have wide open so on nice days they let the fresh air come in. It's located in an apartment building on the corner of Greenwood & 36th, next to the George & Dragon pub, and across the street from a hot yoga studio, Woodsky's, & LTD. As for Matt himself, the fact that I've been training with him since he went independent over 3 years ago, says a lot. I always ask him for advice and feedback. What else I love about Matt is that he knows when to push but he also respects when my body doesn't allow me to go further. We still focus on safety as our #1 priority, which is not the case with all trainers. I see him consistently at least once per week. He's a great trainer and fabulous co-owner of the gym. read more

I've been training w Matt for a few years now. I do both one on one training & group training. I stuck w Matt through the years because he's consistent. Matt pushes you to ur limits without compromising your technique. I work hard because he makes me, and that's a good thing. He made me stronger and has helped me w my nutrition, too. Matt is always on top of his game. Always have a positive attitude that is infectious and his work has purpose. It's a reflection of how he loves what he does. I'm grateful and thankful for having him be a part of my healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend Matt Holland. I know I'll be stuck w him for a long time and that thought actually makes me happy. read more

I don't even live in Seattle, and this has been one of my favorite places to work out. I originally found NW Fitness Project on ClassPass when I was in town visiting visiting my parents from San Francisco; I was training for a Tough Mudder at the time, and Matt and Kyle's classes were some of the most challenging but also most motivating classes and supportive classes I had attended to date. I ended up coming back regularly when I was living in Seattle for a few months to care for my mom while she was on hospice. It was a particularly awful period of my life, and working out was one activity that I tried to sustain to help me cope with what was going on. Whenever I stepped foot in this place, I was greeted by name by Matt or Kyle (something that is so simple to do, and means so much) and always felt welcomed and like I had a space of my own in the city when everything else felt incredibly unstable. No one at NWFP knew any of this, but the point is that it didn't matter. They treat everyone with kindness and grace, and that stuff matters to people. I highly recommend this place and the great humans that run it. read more

NW Fitness Project is amazing!! I see Kyle Davis (co-owner) for personal training. I was struggling with exercise causing pain, and needed help from an expert to understand what was causing the pain, and how to workout without triggering it. Kyle specializes in personal training, yoga, massage therapy and loves "solving puzzles" -- so he's been a fantastic fit for me! He thoughtfully customizes all our exercises to work for my body's needs, and when I have "flare ups" he can incorporate massage into our workouts to help ease pain (plus gains a better sense of what is going on with my muscles through massage). I am so grateful for the fantastic results I've seen, and highly encourage everyone to work with a personal trainer: get a tailored workout for your unique body! Thank you Kyle and NWFP! read more

Coming to train at this gym has become my favorite part of my week. The trainers are all incredibly knowledgeable and kind and really help push their clients to become better versions of themselves. I highly recommend this gym and support their vision in helping people get stronger. read more

I have been going to NWFP since 2017. The trainers are wonderful and have coached me through two pregnancies, a car accident, and remotely during COVID - not to mention keeping me in shape for ski season. Their ability to adapt to their customers' needs is a testament to their skill. The community and culture (inclusive of gym-themed dad jokes) keeps me accountable and laughing every morning. read more

I've been training with Ben for the past couple of months and am beyond impressed. Ive worked with him in person and virtually and he is consistently creative, encouraging and fun! I came to Ben looking for consistency, I didn't have a specific weight lifting goal, I wanted to tone and feel better. I've worked with countless trainers so I had envisioned how the session would go, formulaic talking about macros etc. and sure enough it was the complete opposite. The session was fun, Ben was relatable, creative and encouraging not to mention I saw changes within a week!! I've also taken group classes and was so impressed, they actually pay attention to form! I can't say enough good things about Ben and the gym. read more

Matt is very professional and truly cares about your overall health. I attended the group classes on Thursday mornings and it was definitely the hour I would look forward to each week even though I had to drive all the way from Bellevue. He not only remembered to customize the workouts for each client, but he also encouraged us to participate in the fitness/nutrition challenges he conducted. No two classes were the same and Matt always incorporated different types of exercises and made the group workouts so much fun. I could never get myself to achieve on my own what Matt pushed us to do during the workouts. Personally I also find his story inspiring and his dedication to fitness and health shows in his lifestyle. read more

The facility is great and love that they are centered around trainers! Lisa Ballatore is a fitness savior! She's helped me through knee injuries, plantar fasciitus, and when COVID hit was great with video training! The facility is always clean and the energy is super upbeat and positive. read more

Kyle is one of the most knowledgeable trainers out there. The environment and people are nice, welcoming and have a great sense of humor. Expect lots of laughs and intense hard work. I love this place and wish I could workout there more often. read more

Hands down the best community of people and trainers I've ever been around in Seattle. If you want to get away from the corporate gyms and have a workout with cool equipment and great workouts, come here. Matt and Kyle are the owners and you couldn't ask for kinder guys. read more

I've taken Kyle's strength and HIIT classes a few times and every time I enjoy the crap out of them (and they've all been different). The class is small and the stations are tough, but fun. The people attending are so positive and supportive it really is one of the best atmospheres around! If you like to work hard, sweat, be sore, have fun, make gainzzzzz this is the place for you! Try them out, I'm so glad I did! read more

Kyle helped me get in shape before my wedding. I was still sore walking down the aisle but my wife agrees that the results were *totally* worth it. If you're not afraid of sweat you'll absolutely love working out here! read more

Ben Willis is an amazing trainer! I met Ben virtually and am super impressed by his creativity and dedication to bringing a complete and challenging workout to your computer screen. Ben pays close attention to you, tweaking important details of movement while accentuating the positive and the all important fun can-do energy and spirit. read more

NWFP is an excellent community for gym-goers of all shapes, sizes, and experience levels. When I joined I was recovering from a shoulder injury and the trainers did an excellent job of modifying my workouts during the group classes to ensure I don't further aggravate or re-injure myself. The space itself is extremely clean and well kept and the owners are passionate and energetic about maintaining a positive and uplifting gym environment. Can't recommend this place more! read more

This is the best personal training & small group gym in town. I've known Kyle and Matt for a few years now and these guys are the best in the business. They are professional, inspirational and make working out fun. The gym is always clean, equipment is new and all the trainers are very personable. I can't imagine going anywhere else! read more

NW Fitness Project is the best and I'm constantly telling everyone I know that they should work out here. In my first 5 months at the gym, I lost 12 pounds, gained muscle and am stronger and fitter than I've ever been in my life. The workouts are different each day, are tough but fun and interesting and the format makes the time go by quickly. I appreciate the time management of the class -- workouts start on time and I feel like every last minute is used well to help me get an awesome workout. Warm ups and cool down stretches are tailored to the muscles used in the workout. Sometimes my eyes bulge when I see a difficult station demo'ed (you want me to do what??) but then I go and impress myself by being able to do something that I had previously thought I was incapable of. The coaches have known my name since my first day, are knowledgeable and friendly and always go the extra mile -- sometimes workouts and playlists are even themed with whatever is going on that week (Game of Thrones finale, Superbowl, etc.). They spend just the right amount of time explaining how to do the movements correctly, know what weights each individual should use, and give you lots of support during the workout to make sure you don't get hurt and are pushing yourself to work as hard as you can. High fives, dad jokes and some silliness are a part of the deal. The facility is beautiful and clean and equipment is nice and new. They have lockers, 2 restrooms and 2 showers, and garage doors that let the fresh air in on a nice Seattle day. Other gym members I have met are friendly and encouraging. People of all shapes, sizes, colors, and experience levels are welcome here and it is a positive and inclusive atmosphere. Parking is limited to the street but is not too bad in Fremont -- I can always find a spot even if I have to circle the block a few times. The unlimited gym membership is more than I've paid at other class-based gyms but I have found that 1) it's worth it for everything you're getting (see above^) and that the cost gives me a little extra motivation to get to class more often. All in all, this is one of the best gyms you'll find in Seattle and you should check it out. read more

If you're looking to go to the gym simply to tell others you have a gym membership, this place is not for you. If you're looking for a long lasting support system and legit workouts that are going to improve your overall strength and wellness, then head directly there now. Matt and Kyle know what they're doing and know how to get results. The work will be hard. But it will also be fun. And, most of all, it will work. Without the fancy gimmicks. Or the overuse of machines. Or the fads. But with the basics that have proven to work time and time again. read more

The owner, Kyle, is an incredible athlete and inspiration. I came to know him years ago as a spin instructor and personal trainer at another gym. His enthusiasm and positive energy is infectious. He has this uncanny ability to inspire you to go beyond your limits and realize your potential. I can't say enough good things about every workout of mine that he lead. read more

I have worked with Kyle and Norah for over a year and they are the hardest working, motivating, power team anyone interested in fitness, puppies, or community could find. They're experts in their field, and both have strengths that go far beyond fitness coaching that everyone should absolutely speak with them about. Cycling, yoga, acting, business owners, running, massage- the list is endless. Beyond this- it's so exciting seeing family-owned businesses thrive in Seattle and I know the lovely people that have discovered NWFP and those that have yet to will continue achieving their goals and building strong, lasting friendships and community. Thank you Kyle + Norah you're both constantly inspiring, loving, and motivating. read more

Amazing people ! Amazing trainers and work outs ! I highly recommended. I know Kyle personally, he is my PT and he is super profesional and acknowledgeable. read more

I have been training with the co-owner, Kyle, for 8 years now, starting at 24 hour fitness spin and yoga classes, then personal training, then with his small group fitness classes. Personally, I get very bored doing the same classes over and over again, so it's a testament to his skill and breadth of workouts that I've been able to stay interested and continue to be challenged. I think this is true for a lot of people by the very loyal and tight-knit community he has developed. I have been able to maintain a very high level of strength and physical fitness and recover quickly from two pregnancies by training with him. The gym has a very clean, professional, and fun environment. I appreciate that it is also a place that doesn't accept intolerance for other races and religions. read more

I started training with Kyle in my mid-thirties after a decade of inconsistent gym memberships and odd injuries, with the sole goal of being a "strong dad" that could keep up with my then 2-year old daughter. Now that daughter is 6 and I've had 2 more kids, and mission accomplished - my free time is spent throwing my daughter in the air, running around the yard/house with all the kids, or carrying all 3 around on my back. I'm stronger and move better than I did 15 years ago, and I owe it to Kyle. His classes and style are fantastic. He is 100% positive energy and a perfect mix of motivating/pushing while keeping a relaxed, fun(ny) environment. His approach is sustainable and tailored to both newbies and the folks that have been coming for years. The atmosphere of the groups is also inclusive, friendly, and encouraging - even for a grump like me who barely can talk/nod at 6:30am. The new location in Fremont is fantastic and a tribute to Kyle & team's skill, high standards, and years of work. My only concern with the new space is that it's so excellent and prominent, that the word is out and it will be even harder to get on Kyle's calendar! Congrats to Kyle and Matt! If you're thinking about doing any sort of training...just go here. read more

Matt and Kyle are amazing people and amazing trainers! They are extremely passionate and knowledgeable, overall great place to be!

When I arrived for my first class with Kyle six months ago I was soft and weak due to never having exercised ever. Now I am comparatively less soft and weak, and can even carry groceries for long distances uphill without getting winded. 10/10 would highly recommend. read more

First day at the new gym. Amazingly bright and airy - well-equipped, spotless trainers' gym. A corner location in Fremont with street parking nearby. Floor to ceiling windows with panels that open, allowing for plenty of fresh air. A fully-equipped gym with space for group training and private one-on-one sessions without it feeling crowded. Two spotless private showrooms and two private restrooms. Lockers to store gym bags. A wall projection of the songs playing on the Spotify/Pandora station. And trainers who know how to motivate their clients (with a good dose of coaching and humor). From day one - it is proving to be a professional, well. thought-out, up-to-date place to be motivated and inspired. read more
