    2 stars for this gym for several reasons: 1-super outdated feel to the gym. It really feels like you walked back in time into 70s-80s with the dingy lighting, ugly paint color, archaic photos, and some really old cardio equipment (I'm looking at you, stairmaster) 2-the ridiculous and unforgiving policies. The fact that there is a different price for people 30 and above is really absurd to me. They won't even give your spouse the lower membership cost if they're under 30. $115 per person is pretty ridiculous considering how outdated and dead the place feels. The only reason we fork over this price is because it's so close to our apartment and because there is never a line to use the squat rack. Another ridiculous policy is how if you leave for a set period of time, they will not waive or even lower the exorbitant initiation fee of $450 that they charge. Your only option is to pause membership and STILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY HALF OF YOUR MONTHLY DUES each month. Crazy. 3-I have had unpleasant interactions with their fitness manager, Jacob. He came off with an undertone of snark and condescension in his email correspondence with me, and gave me super brief breakdown of my body composition, a service they offer for new members, while giving my partner a very in depth review (he seems to be much more interactive and jovial with other fellow buff males). The only thing I like about this gym is that I never have to wait for a rack, and the personal trainer named Melissa. She is a joy to have around.

    The Long Version (TLDR @ bottom): I've been a member for six years, but it's really improved over the past few years. I am in my mid-thirties with a disability that has me in chronic pain, but I feel so much better on days I work out that it has become an absolute must for me to be at the SACdt. My mood is better, I'm getting strong, and my health is improving, but most importantly, I just feel my best on days I work out. 1.5 years ago, I was in a wheelchair after major hip/back surgeries and weak as a baby, but through hard work, personal training, water aerobics, and dedication, I am walking, in the gym 5-6 times a week, and STRONG. Machinery: They have older (more typical gym stuff) all over the gym, but they also have this crazy apparatus (that is new in the past year) that takes up the entire front room and it is awesome! They are pretty consistent (I've been a member for 6 years) in upgrading the cardio machines, so there are really good selections between the old-school stuff and the newest machines (everything has been spread out for COVID so you have to really tour the whole place to find what you like). There are multiple classrooms for different classes, including cycling and pilates. Pool: I use the pool (which is saline) multiple days a week. It is five lanes and only one person per lane (that you schedule via the app or phone--I really hope they keep this after COVID because it's awesome not having to guess if a pool lane is open). They have a disability chair to get in and out, which was clutch after surgery. Normally, there are a bunch of pool accessories (fins, paddle boards), but they are limited right now because of COVID. The water aerobics class with Kelly is awesome for all ages and she helps me customize half the exercises. Locker-Room (Female side): The locker-room just reopened (after a year of being closed for COVID). Normally, they have a sauna room, jacuzzi, and steam-room but I don't know if those have reopened; otherwise, it's just lockers, bathrooms, and showers. The locker-room facilities are definitely older, but they have everything you need (including a bathing-suit spinner, hair dryers, flat-irons, and q-tips). COVID safety: This is going to sound cheesy, but it's true: I feel safer at the gym than I do at the doctor's office based on how well SACdt is keeping it clean. From the start, SACdt implemented thorough rules for keeping members safe at the gym, but their cleaning team is keeping it sterilized! They have an app to pick specific times to come in, there are limitations to five people per room in each session, in-between sessions their house-cleaning team cleans every machine and apparatus, they are checking temps at the front desk, and everyone is wearing masks. Personal Trainer: Lisa is AMAZING. I feel so ENERGIZED on days I work out! What do I mean by energized? You know the term "runner's high" that no one except runners seems to know---well, I am fairly certain this is what they mean (or as close as I'll ever get to it, because I am no runner). I'm pretty sure they do trial passes so you can try before you buy. ---------------------------------------- TLDR: - Personal training at SAC has changed my quality of life - SACdt has everything: Pool, squash courts, indoor track, mini climbing machine, basketball, body-composition machines, personal trainers, water aerobics, massages, boxing room---it is the most full-service gym I have ever been to. - COVID safe: Everything is cleaned each hour; Everyone is wearing masks; They did something cool to the HVAC system (no pun intended).

    Ask the Community - Seattle Athletic Club

    How much do 30 minute and 1 hour massages cost?

    Does it have a steam room or a sauna room?

    Yes! Steam room, sauna, pool, and hot tub.

    What is the monthly membership cost? Thanks

    $250 initiation fee and $103/month if you are a young adult. I think that is if you are under 30 years old. They also have a referral program which gets you a free month.

    Are there treadmills here?

    Yes

    Is the swimming pool part of the monthly individual membership or is it something that needs to be purchased separately? Is the pool always busy?

    you reserve a lane (4 lanes total) using their website. During peak times two of the lanes turn into a shared lane (max 2 ppl per lane). The other two lanes will always be single.

    POV: my trainer was based her for a couple of years so visited NW strong more than my home gym but…read morewas never a member here. NW strong is a great option for a no-frills weight-lifting focused gym in Belltown. This place is stacked to the brim with equipment. There are as many squat racks as you can fit in a space like this (9?) and about a dozen benches and tons of options for dumbbells and kettlebells. More than you will see in many much larger gyms. There are also other kinds of equipment like air bike, rower, ski erg, treadmill, bands, sled, TRX straps, and I'm sure some things I'm forgetting. It's a compact footprint and Trevor has done an outstanding job efficiently equipping it to the max. The trainers I've observed here have all be high quality with their own unique style. There is also more of a community here than I think you get with some of the bigger gyms around. From a female perspective I will say that the clientele here is mostly men. There have been many times where the gym was packed and I was the only female present. That said, people here are nice, and respectful overall and it's a good spot to work out. If I lived closer, I'd consider being a member here. I would say the two downsides that may or may not impact you personally are that there is no locker room or shower to speak of (typical commercial building bathrooms shared by multiple tenants in the building) and the space would benefit from a few fans or stronger AC. This is fine 10 months of the year but it can get very stuffy and humid in the hottest days of the summer.

    READ ME 1. Trever,…read morethe owner, is very responsive and kind. 2. The gym is very clean, especially since Trever uses meyers cleaning solutions (smells great!). 3. The gym has a wide varied of equipment and free weights. 4. The gym is well-lit 5. Music selection is good, but not too loud if you're using headphones Conclusion: My girlfriend and I are from out of town and come from a private gym. NorthWest Strong, especially Trever, were very welcoming and accommodating when it came to having us train to prep for our powerlifting meets. If I ever come to Seattle again this would be our "go-to" gym for training. Thank you Trever and NorthWest Strong for having us .

This is my first time to this gym location which is in another side of Seattle about 1.5 miles away from the hotel I was staying in Pioneer Square. My hotel's fitness center was under renovation and when I seen the temporary fitness center, I walked out. I've been to another 24 Hour location in the suburbs of Seattle a few years back, but that would have been a long stretch. Downtown Seattle's gym was lacking a welcoming feel upon check-in, the girl working the front desk failed to acknowledge members walking in or exiting. The gym floors are clean, it smells fresh and sanitized, most machines and equipment are the same as other 24's, but this one had everything equipped for upper body groups. That day I went to work out happened to be leg day. It wasn't a leg friendly gym. Both ground floor and the basement couldn't receive cell signal and the WiFi was not connecting. But at least I had downloaded music and podcasts on my phone to keep me energized. When it came to cardio, there was an abundance of cardio machines. My favorite machine is the StairMaster. Almost all of them were out of service, the only 3 that were operating was occupied with 3 people. The only areas I didn't use were CardioX, swimming pool, and Spin Cycle room. I know that parking is available, because there was a parking validation machine at the front desk. But I honestly don't know why this location is closing on January 16, it seems as though there is a lot of foot traffic during the evening hours as a lot of people are coming from work or school. There are many apartments and luxury condos in the area. But where will the nearby residents go? The next nearest 24 is about the same drive time north of downtown but I'm not sure if I badly need a workout on these short business trips.
