I've been working with Lily as my personal trainer for 2 1/2 years and my two goals were to get…read morestrong and to not get injured. She and I have accomplished both of these goals. But I think the thing that really amazes me is how she is able to work with me as an individual and with my small group personal training sessions and still manage to keep everybody's individual needs, limitations and goals in the forefront of her mind. And she does it with an absolutely encouraging, positive attitude that never wavers. I am 55 years old and the strongest I've ever been in my life. I feel proud of that and I feel so deeply grateful to Lily for making it possible. I could not have done it without her. I should also add that the gym itself feels so supportive and inclusive. I'm always happy to go!

For reasons I won't mention, that wasn't a good fit. I was hesitant to join a cross fit gym because while I want the workout I don't want the chaos that comes with It. Instead I found a close knit community with a range of ages that all have the same goal in mind.

Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Equipment was organized and neatly stacked in individual workstations. The week before I arrived I had emailed Juanita to let her know I'd be dropping in. She responded right away and sent me the class schedule so I could plan accordingly. Classes started and ended promptly. Metered parking on the street, but it's very cheap. Thanks for making my first drop-in experience a great one!

I first made an appointment with the staff at Puget Sound Pilates in October, 2013, because I was…read moresuffering from chronic back pain. I had tried massage and chiropractic, but realized that I needed to work on my core strengthening to help resolve my issues. The instructors at Puget Sound Pilates are fantastic and really know what they're doing. They were able to identify issues that I needed to work on and carefully tailor a program for me that not only helped my back pain but helped make me stronger and healthier in general. I'm still working with the staff now and look forward to my weekly sessions. I'm extremely grateful to Val and the other instructors there for providing such a great service.

This fitness coach will not provide you with the refund for the services that were not used. I had to move out of the state and I was told that he will not give me all of the refund at once due to "personal large expenses" he encountered and will pay me back in 2 parts. I received 1/2 of my refund and now I cannot get the other 1/2 and he blocked my number. I tried to reach out , unsuccessfully, to the owner of this facility located in Tumwater, WA. This is not a spam and I have all written communication and receipts.

After many years of being active but not knowing what best works for my body, counting calories,…read morenever really losing body fat, and wondering what exactly the right eating plan was I was referred by a friend to Amanda. I had a wonderful experience with her personal training sessions. She is down to earth and unlike any other fitness coach I have met. She was realistic, organized, punctual, readily available, encouraging, flexible, and informative. Amanda knows her stuff. There were times in the beginning, when I started eating the way she suggested and I started freaking out feeling like it was unmanageable but she would talk me through it and I came through the experience with a much better understanding of food. I finally, after 44 years, feel at peace with food without tracking and counting calories. No longer do I obsess over certain foods. Amanda teaches you what your body needs (and it isn't cutting entire food groups out). She taught me awesome weight lifting exercises and body strength exercises too. What she taught me I can use at home or any gym. She didn't lead me on trying to hook me into buying more sessions - she simply taught, gave me copies of what she taught, and moved on to the next session. She explained a lot about stretching, taking care of your body after workouts, and more. Amanda delivered everything promised and more. I walked away with a new understanding of how to fuel my body, without going hungry, and what the best workouts are. She kicked my butt in the gym but was encouraging the entire time - she made me want to push myself but not in a mean way. Her gym is awesome - everything you need to get fit. I can't say enough good things about Amanda. I would highly recommend her. She is very personable and friendly yet professional. Definitely a good personal trainer for any age or gender. She knows her stuff and will get you in shape if you listen to her and work hard. I am down several lbs, clothes are looser, feeling good about myself, getting strong, and no longer obsessing over counting calories or the latest fad diet. She has given me sanity in the health department and I can't put a price tag on that.

Waaaay bigger, cleaner, nicer, and more kitted-out than the location I came from in VA, and I much…read moreprefer it to the Lacey gym. I drive my butt past that location to come here. There is a great selection of equipment that are mostly all in great shape and clean. I haven't taken classes here, but the trainers sound terrific. The men's locker room is as clean and in as good repair as could be expected. My only complaint is that lately the lights are off in the massage bed area. I asked and was told that's on purpose. In that dark little corner (10-12) it is hard for my old-ass eyes to see in the dark with the dark walks and black beds and dark trash cans. Plus I like to read a book sometimes while I'm in there. Not even sure if this meets fire code. I dunno, but if anyone is reading this, please consider providing a safe, comfortable and convenient level of lighting throughout the facility. Fifty star pending.

The comments about the extreme heat in this gym are accurate. The temperature is consistently…read moreuncomfortable and makes working out far more difficult than it should be. My larger concern is with a specific white front‑desk employee whose behavior was unprofessional and, based on his own comments, appeared biased. When my wife (Asian) and I (Hispanic) checked in, he was immediately rude and confrontational. He questioned whether we were together even after I confirmed it multiple times, then insisted on procedures that were completely different from what other employees at this same location required just two days earlier. When I asked why the process had suddenly changed, he responded with sarcasm and said he "wasn't there at the time," then added that the African American employee who checked us in previously "wasn't doing his job." Instead of simply explaining the policy, he escalated the situation, threatened to refuse us service, and gave the impression he might involve the police over something trivial. After our workout, we asked when the manager would be available. We were told to come back the next morning at 10 AM. When I did, I was informed the manager doesn't work weekends. At that point, it was hard not to feel misled. The one positive interaction was with an employee named Alex, who listened respectfully and left a note for the manager. Unfortunately, the overall experience was enough for us to cancel our membership and look for a better‑run gym.

I started at CFY WOD Dogs in 2012, after learning the basics at another box, which closed. I left…read moreCFY just a week ago. The facility is excellent. Since the latest expansion, there is plenty of room even on a Saturday, when (from what I've seen) the largest number of people are there. There are two restrooms, a shower, and a kids' room with a TV and toys. Everything is kept up well and is always clean! The schedule/hours is exceptional. The 0630 class fit my life best, but there are also classes at various times throughout the day and evening, plus "open gym" times when one can go in to work on skills or make up a missed WOD. Each class that attends at the same time every day tends to have its own character. The 0630 weekday class, for instance, became known as "The Breakfast Club" and we were (are) definitely a fun and goofy mix. More on Community later. Coaching is amazing. I mean that, truly amazing. Of course each coach has a distinct style and manner, but across the board, the standards set by owners Annie Malone and Rob Carlson are embodied by every other coach I had the pleasure to work out under. They inspire, teach, critique, support, and hold each athlete accountable. Lastly, the aspect of community cannot be overstated. The overall tone of most traditional gyms is that of individuals going in and slogging through their solo workout. Sometimes you will see someone with a workout partner, and I for one used to envy someone who had that. In CrossFit, everyone is expected to support everyone else. Yes, it is your individual workout, but all other people in your class are "suffering" through the same workout - at their own level. I worked out alongside athletes who were in excellent shape, strong and fast and who could do every element. I could not begin to count the number of times I was finishing a run at the end of a WOD, only to have one or more faster classmate(s) come back to plod the last part with me! There is a saying that CrossFit is the only sport in which the last person to finish gets the loudest cheers. It's true. So, while my review of CFY WOD Dogs has turned into a spiel for CrossFit in general, I actually want to make this point: any gym or workout is only as good as the elements that keep you coming back. This place, this coaching staff, and this community is one that has been a huge part of my life and absolutely kept me going back for more.
