My best friend and I recently left our CF gym due to distance. We decided to try out Paramount…read moreafter looking at reviews and diving a bit into their social media. Vanessa was an AWESOME coach and had such great tips for my lifting technique. Chris was a super cool guy and I took advantage of his time at the end of class to see what it is the gym had to offer, considering if we were to be future members. He was thorough and explained everything in detail (and I LOVED that). David and I will definitely be back and recommend Paramount Strength and Conditioning to any friends looking to try an awesome gym!

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/

Went in to join and was turned away after being told the Groupon wasn't being accepted. When I asked why the employee Damon P told me, "I should have called before buying it because they didn't post it, Groupon did." Showing my frustration I asked why is it even up... "well we need more people," Damon responds. A significant contradiction. I get how businesses are struggling. I just don't like being manipulated into coming in, and then being told it's my fault cause I didn't, "double check with the business," and then basically get told, "we didn't do it, but we did cause we needed you to come in." First time I've ever complained about a gym like this.

The weight side has all you would expect plus a couple different kinds of cages which provide different exercises. There are plenty of different types of cardio machines and an area to do sit ups, box jumps, etc. I've been coming here for 6 years and the staff has always been amazing. I take advantage of the CHEAP kids room for both my kids when I'm working out. The kids room attendants are always interactive and keep the kids moving. Julie works in the morning and is the best. Overall, this is a very inexpensive gym that provides all the basics with the added bonus of an area for the kiddos.

The facility is clean and well maintained. 2. Sauna rooms are fully functional at all hours and appears to be clean & hygienic 3. Location is very central to Lynnwood and in a prime square with many popular restaurants around it. I have never seen any wrong sort of person ever around the gym even at 11pm in the night. I feel safe accessing the gym round the clock. 4. The self training open space is always clean and never too crowded that you would not find a spot. 5. Variety of equipment is sufficient in my opinion but then again, I do not use a lot of the equipment, so my judgement may not be accurate. 5. In general, folks using the gym are well mannered and mind their own business. I have never personally had or witnessed any conflict. Couple of things that could be better - 1. More training mats. There are a limited number of mats and sometimes hard to find and the ones they have are extremely dirty and torn. They must be replaced asap. Carry your own yoga mat if you can. 2. Lighter dumbbells and kettlebells is always hard to find. They stock very less of those. They should increase more equipment between 5lbs to 15lbs for both equipment. Overall, good place to workout with extended hours daily 5am - 11pm and even staying open on most public holidays for fairly reasonable hours. Pretty satisfied at this time with this gym.

I was so happy when I heard a second Cut and Flow location would be opening up much closer to me…read more This one is so much more convenient and seems a bit larger. I've only made it to 2 classes so far, but I look forward to coming here for years to come. This area is full of construction so street parking is not super easy, but do look for the retail parking garage. It can be a little confusing to know where to go if you are coming here for the first time, but from the parking garage exit walk across the court yard. Everyone has been welcoming and friendly. The large entry area has plenty of lockers to secure your stuff and some seats to help you get your shoes on and off. Bathrooms have showers and space to change if you are heading here on your way to or from somewhere. I feel much less cramped in this xformer room. I've only peaked in the yoga room, but it looks quite large as well. I really like the uniqueness of xformer classes. I do have some experience with pilates, but for some reason these machines seem more enjoyable. Do be aware this is a hard workout and you will leave feeling the effects. It can be a little challenging to figure it out the first couple times, but the instructors walk around and offer support. If everything else falls just look at what your neighbor is doing. There are support sticks if you worry about your balance. Give it a try and I am sure you will feel the benefits as well.

The weather in Seattle has been absolutely beautiful lately as we head into summer…read more It was another perfect day to get in a good workout, and I had the chance to visit a lovely new facility. The Cut and Flow just opened a new location in Lynnwood. It is located on the first floor of a brand new apartment complex. Retail parking is also available inside the apartment parking garage. There are designated parking spots specifically for retail customers. A heads-up if you're visiting: the main gate from the apartment side is a bit heavy. I initially thought it was locked and only accessible to residents, so I ended up walking all the way around the building to get in. If you go, make sure to give the gate a firm push. I tried both the Pilates and yoga classes. Pilates was great, especially with brand-new reformer machines available for everyone to use for the entire session. The mirrors on the walls made it easy to follow the instructor and check my form. The yoga instructor was incredibly friendly and professional. I liked the slightly warm temperature of the room. I think it helped my body relax even better. We did a variety of stretches that felt pretty good afterwards. Also, be aware that phones are not allowed in class! I definitely needed a bit more time away from my phone. All the equipments are new and available for use unless you prefer to bring your own. The shower facilities are in excellent condition as the entire facility is brand new.
