I went to a personal trainer for the first time 9 months ago and was skeptical about paying someone…read morefor something I could do myself. With the vague goal of "getting in shape"; I have had great results at Fitness Together. I now have better balance, can stoop, bend and lift things I forgot I was once able to do. Watching what I ate I steadily dropped 20 pounds. The exercise was the key. I am glad the trainers at FT know what they are doing. It has worked for me. The exercises always vary and don't rely on machines so I can add my own workouts. After a hard workout I am never sore for more than one day. Everyone is friendly, knowledgeable and supportive. I just show up. Charlie and Brad are always enthusiastic - even on days when I'm not. There is never more than one other client working out at a time and it is very clean with good changing rooms. Yes, it is costly, but how much have I paid in car maintenance over a lifetime? I am now backpacking in Europe and not sightseeing from a bus - thank goodness. Fitness Together is a great place to jump-start your workout routine.

As someone who has spent their life avoiding physical activity but am now entering a certain age…read morebracket, I made the decision to get serious about learning how to work out. I've made attempts in the past of awkwardly shuffling around 24-Hour Fitness trying to mimic what I saw in YouTube videos, but ultimately never felt like I understood how to actually lift weights and get any results. Hence, I joined Fitness Together with the goal of learning how to properly and safely lift weights. And I have to say that all the trainers at this location were fantastic. They listened to my goals, created a plan, kept me accountable, and answered by constant questions. In ~14 months of once-per-week sessions, I went from barely knowing what a barbell was to deadlifting and squatting with ease. As of today I have dropped ~1-2% body fat and gained ~8lbs of lean mass since I first started. Not bad! It is pricey, yes. But for me, I feel it was worth it as a way to learn the correct form and habits that I can use in the future. I always felt welcome and encouraged at this location, so I heartily recommend it if you want some help in getting fit but find it difficult to get started.

I've only been inside a few boxes (CrossFit aka CF uses the term 'box' for 'gym') and most are…read moreknown for grittiness or clean simplicity. This is a BEAUTIFUL space in West Seattle. The owner, Bethany, used to be an instructor at my current box; and I owe a great deal to her. Because of her knowledge and positive (yet constructive) feedback while I plowed through my first uncoordinated months of CF, I can say that I am fitter than I've been in years. Hell, I'm fitter than I was when I DID think I was fit. First, you should know that I had become a blob before I joined CF. Really. I got winded going up and down stairs and lugged around 50+ more pounds 1 1/2 years ago, so DO NOT WORRY about your fitness level. It's all scalable, and there are beginner classes to get you started if you're new. Boot camp on crack, is how I would describe CrossFit. You do team workouts, individual workouts but in a team environment, you go for personal records (PR's) from anything to running, to weights, to completing a particular workout in x amount of time. I don't think I've done the same exact workout in a year and half yet! Check out LOFT's website for their hours, fees and WODs (Workout of the Day) as I've only been here once. But, it is helpful for you to know that the entrance is in the alley BEHIND the building. (That poor consignment store lady; she was so friendly in directing people back around the building. I must remember to go and check out her store.) LOFT has lots of street parking around, and they have a small lot in the alley. This place has all the CF amenities you would expect, including a pretty high-up rope! Super-secret tip for any CrossFitter: always wear/bring long socks with you, in case of rope climbs and dead-lifts. No rope burns/scraped-up shins, k?) Aaaaand the people here are super-cool; the community, while growing, is small enough that you get to know people from different boxes all the time. It's how we grow the cult... ...Kidding. Despite what you've heard, you only have to sacrifice ONE baby goat to become part of a box. As I've said before, WOD ON!

This is a family gym - and has the vibes to match. From the children learning to swim in the large pool area to the childcare and classes, this place really supports health for the entire family. The sauna is hot, and large enough to make sense, and the towel service provides a nice experience for individuals wishing to have a spa like beginning or end to their workout sessions. I will always be grateful to this club for its cheery vibes during the dark, Seattle winter days.

I had a very disappointing experience. I sent my daughter to redeem a birthday smoothie for her…read morelittle sister, and instead of a simple, positive interaction, she called me upset because staff refused to honor it. They told her they believed the offer may have already been redeemed and suggested we could pay for a new order instead. I had to get involved over the phone to explain how inappropriate it was to accuse us of trying to redeem the offer twice. This was meant to be a birthday treat, and instead my daughters were made to feel as though they were being accused of dishonesty on what should have been a special day. The situation escalated to involving a manager and took about 35 minutes to resolve. It was stressful and embarrassing for my daughters. What made it worse was the rude attitude from staff and the complete lack of acknowledgment that this was a birthday gift from them. In the end, they admitted it was their mistake, explaining that only the manager could see the offer in their system. Despite this, no apology was given to either of my daughters. This level of service is unacceptable. It is especially troubling to see a young customer treated this way, particularly on her birthday. The company should be aware of how poorly their staff handled this situation and the negative impact it had on our experience.

I have to say that I was pretty scared to join the YMCA due to all of the reviews, but I have found…read moreit to be a great gym! Just to give you a heads up, I go to the gym from the 9am-12pm time range on the weekdays so I'm not there during the peak time. Pros: 1. The childcare! They are phenomenal! I use the infant care and the 3-5 year old child care. The children are always having a great time. The teachers plan fun activities for the day, like a preschool would with crafts. If an infant is upset, they are hugging and consoling the infant. I have NEVER seen a baby crying by himself. I have never picked up my son with a dirty diaper! My shy boy LOVES coming here! My wild daughter, loves the slide area and the crafts. 2. New equipment: I love the new renovation. It's bright and airy. I can always get on a machine. Almost all machines have a TV. The only complaint is that there has been some tech trouble lately. 3. Warm Greeting from Staff: Major props to Eugene! He always smiles and remembers all of our names during check in! I always get a locker in a good area too. 4. Free Infant Swim Classes! 5. Discount on camps for kids. If you're a member, you get discounts on all camps and programs for your kids. 6. Price: For our family of 5, we pay about $110. That's 2 hours of morning care and 2 hours of afternoon care for all of our kids. If you're not going to go regularly, it's probably too expensive, but for a large family, it's a good price. Also, take advantage of the enrollment fee waiver in January, March, June, and October. If you're low income, they have discounted rates as well. 7. Free 7 Day Pass: This is not a consecutive day pass. This is any 7 days within a 3 month period. This also includes childcare!!! Also, no one pressures you to join. There are also no hidden fees. Cons: 1. Lack of parking and extremely small parking spaces. I don't even bother with the parking lot since my Acura SUV barely fits, and I can't get they baby out of the car seat with my door open. Street parking is a strict 2 hours and they often ticket you if you're longer. 2. Stretch Room: Way too small! Cycle studio people are always brushing by you on their way to class. I've asked for the small workout rooms to be open, but they keep saying no. 3. Group Class Music: I'd love some group classes that are geared towards a younger crowd with some hip music. Seriously, this would make the gym perfect! All of the instructors are really nice, but I kind of feel like I'm part of an 80's workout video. Also, some classes geared towards new moms would be fantastic! There are a lot of us there!

We had to wait a couple of hours for a tour and they kept pushing us to the side to check in people. I understand checking in members is important but it's not difficult to scan an ID or ask us to step aside for a second. We finally were able to view the gym and it's beautiful, well-maintained, and clean. There seems to be a lot of classes open and the swimming pool is great. We're still thinking about being members. As a large family, it's quite the financial commitment and the front desk is the first interaction with a place. It wasn't a great impression.
