TRIBE provides a balanced, holistic fitness experience which, in fact, values balanced strength and long-term outcomes. The combination of resistance work, cardio and quality movement training is sound and the coaching staff are obviously well-trained and keen. The custom equipment Reformer studio is one of the highlights and the large training area is well furnished with all the requirements of programmed classes. read more

Attended a power reformer class as a first-timer through ClassPass. Sara was very kind and patient with me, helping me correct my form and offering easier alternatives. There's definitely a focus on strength in this class, but not too difficult for beginners! There are cubbies to place your belongings, gendered restrooms, and a filtered water dispenser. Pro tip: don't forget to bring your own grippy socks, which are required! Or you can purchase them there if you forget yours. read more

I've been taking reformer classes (and some other classes) at Tribe since 2018. Always a fantastic workout, I quickly learned how to use the reformer, the instructors were good about giving tips and modifications for individuals. I definitely recommend. read more

I love mixing things up when working out, and I love that TRIBE has so many classes to choose from! Located right on Broadway and close to many of my favorite Cap Hill spots, TRIBE is a boutique fitness studio that offers small group classes for yoga, pilates, TRX, and the likes all throughout the day. The studio is made up of two spaces and has fewer amenities compared to most studios in the area, but provides just enough for folks looking to get in and get out after a quick exercise. So far, I've taken three classes at TRIBE through ClassPass and enjoyed them all. 1) Power Reformer: I love a good reformer workout and this one got me werkin the whole hour. We moved all around the set up and worked all the different parts of our bodies. Ashleigh was an awesome, friendly instructor and made sure I had each movement down to the detail for maximum benefits. 2) Aerial Conditioning: This class took place in the back room and any more than 4-5 people would've really crowded the space. For the two of us who were complete noobs at aerial, we definitely could've used a lil more love n support from Melanie. I spent the better part of every segment trying to stop myself from spinning around and un-wedging the silk out of my hip flexors but still had a fun time trying something new. 3) Strong & Lean: For a class that was also in the back room, I was surprised by how many exercises I got to do. I didn't love doing jump ropes by the bathrooms but was pretty happy with the other eight stations and variations that we went through. Our instructor Jaina was attentive whenever I asked for help and brought great, focused energy to class. Looking forward to the next time I'm back! read more

See all

The most amazing studio, I love Jaina Cole! She's such an excellent personal trainer. She will kick your butt into shape, but her reformer classes are even better. You leave feeling strong, confident and energized! Bonus: Wilson! The sweetest French bulldog who makes working out so much fun. I absolutely adore him! If you're looking for great classes in a safe, clean studio this is definitely the spot. read more

Just started going to Tribe using classpass. I really like the gym itself. Very clean, no odor, good temperature, bright and small class sizes. The instructors so far have been really good so far. (I find that some instructors will focus more on upper body while others on lower body. Not sure if consistently true) I've been to the following classes: Tone & Stretch: Very chill and low intensity. You probably will break the most mild sweat only. But this class is more about posture, stretching and connecting with your body. You will learn about all these extra muscles and ligaments that you never knew mattered. Julie teaches thus class and makes an effort to get to know everyone's names and really gives a lot of guidance throughout the class as she educated you on how to connect with every portion of your body. Reformer Lite: This class is perfect for me. Challenging enough to break a sweat and get a good workout but not so challenging that it becomes somewhat dreadful and discouraging. This is the class where I think the instructor dictates what the "emphasis" will be. I had Aaron once and he focused a lot on upper body. I like his flow, clarity if instructions and style - encouraging and firm. However I think I would have like a bit more help/adjustment with form. As a lot of times I felt like I wasn't really activating the muscle right. I also had class with Susan and Kate, they were both also really good. Good tempo, motivating and clear instructions. For their classes, I realize there was more emphasis on lower body. Overall I would highly recommend trying this place out. Their cancellation policy can be quite strict but I guess that's understandable. read more

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!! I have worked out all my life but the type of workout this is doing to my body is insane. This is a total body workout and my weakness is def my core. At this gym I feel like I will reach my fitness goals much faster. The instructors are detailed, intense, motivating, and so so very nice. Special shout out to Jaina and Aaron. I started with an introductory course and signed on for another month!!! Thank you Tribe for giving me my motivation back. read more

Went to the Power Reformer class which was a great workout. Jaina Cole is an amazing instructor who gave personalized attention and made sure each posture and movement was correct. Definitely recommend checking them out. read more

I went here for about a year. Classes were very expensive so I looked into getting a year pass. That was a LOT of money at the time and I was paranoid about gyms moving / going out of business / act of god closures without refunds. Though they treated me like I was slightly crazy, they stated that customers would be reimbursed if they were to move, so I went for it. My body changed visibly: biceps and popping veins for the first time in my life. Neat. And when I decided I couldn't go back during the pandemic, they were as good as their word with refunds. Assorted notes: Sometimes, there could be a bit of body negativity. Instructors using words like "saddlebags" or telling you (jokingly, but...) that if you couldn't do a move, you weren't strong enough, or their yearly "competition" having extra points for weight loss, but not anything gains-related. These generally weren't repeated when I called them out in instructor reviews, but even though their marketing is about "strength" there could be a bit of a vibe that was occasionally off putting. Always very clean. Very nice, professional instructors, even if I didn't always vibe with everyone. They put aerial on the pictures and sandwich board, but that is not offered any more. Their yoga could be a bit entry-level and repetitive compared to going to an actual yoga studio, but generally is not so crowded. The back-room strength classes seem just as effective as the fancier reformer classes and I kind of preferred them. But for the one-off prices, you're obviously paying for the reformer real estate no matter which class you pick. read more

I have been coming to Tribe for pilates since last summer and I don't think I'll be stopping any time soon. I love that they offer three different "paces" of reformer pilates instead of just one. I use the word 'pace' instead of levels because I don't necessarily think that one is easier than the other (could be slightly dependent on the instructor.) They offer a Power Reformer Lite, Power Reformer, and Reformer Pilates. I find that the Power Reformer class moves a little faster and has more cardio elements to get the heart rate up. If I want to focus on improving my form, i find myself signing up for a Reformer Pilates class. If I'm cravIng more of a sweaty workout, I will sign up for a Power Reformer class. All the instructors here are fantastic but my favorite, if I had to pick someone, will have to be Susan Foley. She is extremely knowledgeable about the exercise and helping you perfect your form. read more

This might be the best gym in Seattle in terms of Group Fitness. Not only are the instructors (I'm talking about you Mary & Alice) upbeat and knowledgable, they will kick your butt, all with a smile on their face. TRIBE offers such a variety of classes there's no way you could be bored, not to mention the space is modern and clean. Classes are never overpacked and I can always find parking in the mornings. read more

The reformer might scare some people, but I highly recommend it! The staff is super accommodating and they take good care of their new and returning clients. Thursday nights, Power Reformer/ Jumpboard with Heather will kick your butt and anything with Mary too! I swear these classes have changed the shape of my body and have been a great addition to my other workout classes. read more

I've just recently moved to Seattle and it has been hard for me to find a new home away from home. I've been doing yoga for the past 5 years and tried 4 different studios already and none felt like a good fit for me. Then Zenrez sent me a suggestion to try TRIBE. I was like meh, it seems like a gym - but at $15 I thought why not. It was love from the first sight. Everything about this studio is just right - space, people, atmosphere, smiles all around, challenging workouts, variety of options offered, pride the studio has in its instructors, the never ending flow of energy. This is my new zen. After 3 months I still run here happily after a work day to spend time with myself and try something new. read more

I dusted off my former Yelp Elite status to write this. I haven't worked out in years but I always loved Pilates. I tend to work out on a shame based system where I'll work harder in a class. The all class system works great for me. There's a fee if you miss a class and it's another reason it keeps me going. But honestly this is a great workout and I've consistently gone since I joined. They are kind and friendly, and I'm getting stronger every week. I'm telling you and all my friends to go. read more

Just ONE class and I already LOVE: 1) The number of classes and range of times to choose from. 2) How efficient the Power Reformer total body work out is. 3) The instructor's encouraging assistance to everyone in the class. 4) How clean and organized the whole facility is -- exercise space, washroom, etc. 5) The extra nice touch of fresh fruit! read more

I live two blocks from this gym and have been walking past for years. My doctor suggested I try Pilates because I've had two significant back injuries, and I was excited that there was a well reviewed Pilates gym close to home. I stopped by the gym twice to set up an appointment and called and left messages three times. I'm not sure if it was my history of back issues or general mismanagement, but the folks at Tribe were nonresponsive. This was especially disappointing after waiting so long for my back to recover enough for me to begin strength training again. This gym really disappointed me, and I'll take my business elsewhere. read more

I love Tribe Fitness! If it wasn't for the fact that I love to try different studios and types of workout I would get their membership. It's pretty reasonably priced, and they have many specials on top of that. Their Pilates classes are very good! I tried jumpboard, beginner and regular Pilates. I would say that I could see the most immediate results after taking jumoboard class. What's keeps this place great is that the classes are small and almost every instructor noticed that I was new to them and stopped by before the class to get to know me. My other favorite here is HIIT with Jaina. I know that I just have to show up and she will take care of the rest, including keeping the group focused and in a good mood at 6am in the morning. She's a great trainer and makes sure everybody has a good alignment and always has a great alternatives for my injuries. After coming to her class regularly I could see improvements in my body very quickly. Last class I wanted to share is power barre with Amy. This was a hard class, with many advanced students. I would say that many postures were not comfortable for me and as soon as many of the exercises started I was wishing for them to be over! I felt beat up after this class, but all these uncomfortable moves were choreographed to bring great effects. I was shocked how much little bits here and there improved after just one class! Highly recommended small and friendly sexy body making studio in Cap Hill!. Don't try it though, as I like it to remain not too busy ;-). read more

Tribe is a great, friendly spot for regular full-body work outs that keep you interested. I have been really pleased so far. I am about half way into my first month and am convinced this is something I'll keep doing as long as I'm living near the studio. The main class they offer is on the reformer- a resistance machine that becomes pretty easy to use after your first class or two (even if you don't have great balance, which I don't!). There are great barre classes too. I haven't tried the others yet but I'm sure I will soon. Everyone is friendly- from staff to other attendees (even during the early morning classes!), and they're patient with new learners without de-riding the rest of class of experienced folks. As a runner this is a great balance to make sure I don't kill my hips and knees. Thanks, Tribe! read more

I love this place so much. All the instructors are wonderful and will get you stronger SAFELY. There is so much guidance and support. My favorite thing is the variety of teachers and classes. I can take a barre class, lift weights, or a gentle reformer class. The teachers are also so wildly different in the best way. Everyone has a bit of wisdom. So many chronic aches and pains have disappeared as I've gotten my bod stronger. I've also never felt very at home at a gym but I really feel good and supported here. Really recommend especially if you feel intimidated by trying something new! read more

I'm feeling slightly academic today. Even though this is all about body training, my mind has gotten some great benefits out of the fantastic workouts I've done here. Please, sit down and enjoy the list! Número Uno: LAB5Fitness is a beautiful space. A nice, clean, minimal and sleek (but not pretentious) place is perfection when it comes to working out. It's obvious it was carefully designed to help people get into a perfect workout groove. I also want to give LAB5 a kind shout out for helping on making that corner of Broadway a more walkable and enjoyable one. It's very nice to see that area coming to life. Número Dos: Trainers were patient, warm and very kind to this newbie. It wasn't a "gotta keep up with the super athletes" experience. It is a learning process involving being kind to your body as you're getting your butt kicked with the workouts. Número Tres: I don't have enough words to describe how fantastic is to hang from the ceiling using the TRX bands. While you feel like flying, you're rediscovering your body, inch by inch. It was a pretty unique experience I'm looking forward to revisit. Número Cuatro. The Reformer is a very interesting piece of equipment. It's feels like a computer for the body. You are tested, you are challenged and you also have fun. My favorite part of the session was "jumping" on it while on my back, looking up to a relaxing and intensely blue sky, there for you to see through a set of skylights. My feelings drifted from exhilaration to happiness, and finally parked on bliss. Conclusión: This is working out like you haven't experienced before. You'll need to drink a lot of water and have some fish oil, because that trip throughout your body will awaken it in ways you haven't feel before. Two days after my first workout, I felt slightly sore (the good kind) but my body was also stronger and performing like a champion. I coming back for more. ¡Gracias, LAB5! read more

Lab5 is a scheduling nightmare! Don't get me wrong, the classes and instructors are great. I went regularly for over eight months and loved the results. However, as a student on a super tight budget and with a crazy schedule, I had to drop Lab5 from my life (and 2 stars from this review). Why? (1) A few months ago they increased the student rate by about 30% with no explanation. (2) They also recently increased the risk-free cancellation from 8 hours to 12 hours (aka, you have to cancel your 5:30pm class by 5:30am instead of by 9:30am or you will be charged for "late canceling"). (3) They just announced a new policy whereby all accounts are charged for any "late cancellation" (they used to just charge students as having used a class, now they charge everyone $5). Consider yourself in my shoes: You start at work, a low-wage internship, at 8am. The boss reschedules a 4pm meeting for 5pm. But you have a gym class scheduled at 5:30 (which is all you can squeeze in before your evening class at 7:30). Under the old policy, you would have been fine as long as you canceled by 9:30am, but now, it is a "late cancel" because you didn't tell the gym you couldn't make it at least 12 hours out (or at 5:30am)! In addition, you now have to pay money to cancel - and they just raised the student rates. Even worse, you owe them money even if they find someone else to take your place in that class! What a scheduling nightmare! My secondary complaint is about the new front desk staff. Customer service has really gone downhill in my many months of membership. I miss my always-understanding front desk guy who was replaced by someone who, when I called to place a vacation hold, assumed I didn't qualify without having even spoken to me, promised to place the hold on the account once I had explained, but then never placed that hold. I had to speak to the front desk folks in person when I got back to get it all sorted. What a headache. read more

I like Lab5 but I'm not liking some of the new instructors. There is one female instructor named Marian who made me almost walk out in the middle of class. She laughs incessantly into the mic and make the most annoying noises. As much as I like Lab5 and think that most of their instructors are amazing, I am planning to avoid any classes with this new instructor. Please stop making those whooting noises every second and giggling into your mic for no reason. Not motivating and very distracting. And you have to cancel at least 24 hrs before class to not get hit with a $10 late cancel fee. I think this is a bit ridiculous. Other gyms in the area requires 2 hours notice or, at the most, 12 hours. What makes this gym so special? read more

Me: LONG break from working out, so not in the best shape. I've been trying to get into a routine at the gym, but been feeling bore and uninspired. Lab5: Pros: Fun, inspiring, and motivating! I felt results within days after taking Barre and though I'm sore and can't hardly climb the stairs, I'm excited to go back and work my butt off. Also, Lab5 offers a wide range of classes and is one of the only studios that still has classes late in the day (early too!). Other studios that I looked into usually had their last class around 5 or 6, which w/ my schedule, I couldn't guarantee I could make that. As for the instructors (2 of my classes were w/ Janna), they walk around and help w/ your form or offer you modifications to make sure you're working the right muscle groups. The place is clean, and tiny detail, they have hair ties in the ladies restroom! Cons: I do wish there were a bit more "beginner friendly" courses in the evening. I tried the Power Reformer class, which wasn't the class for me. It's a great class, don't get me wrong, but way too advanced for my level of fitness right now. Also, it's street parking, so you either have to pay or drive around the block a few times for a free spot. Lastly, the prices do jump up significantly after the intro 3- or 5-class sampler pack, so I can see how that can be off-putting as well. Still, I think it's worth doing the intro and if you're a student, you get a pretty nice discount. In-betweens: This place has a policy where if you cancel within a few hours prior to the class you're signed up for, you have a $15 fee; no shows are charged $25. I can see how this may not be kosher for some, but I don't really mind as it helps to keep people motivated to go to their classes. Some classes do fill up fast, but otherwise, you can easily sign up for classes online, so for those who are hesitant because of this policy, just check to see if the class you're thinking about taking still has open spots (I did this 2 hrs before the class was supposed to start). All in all, I like that this place has me motivated to come back, so much so that I turned my 3-sampler pack into a monthly membership :). read more

I am in shock!! This is my first Yelp review! From the service to the classes I have been so pleased with Lab5 fitness, having joined just a week ago and going everyday for the first month I can honestly say results are amazing!! The biggest part of Lab5 for me is the community created around the studio, from news letters to smiling faces as you walk in this place has it all!! My lower back and core strength will never be the same again. (I had none before) now in My very busy career as hairstylist can be sustained for many more years and the vanity of my body looking good is not so bad either! Go Check This Place Out Now!!!! read more

Lab 5 fitness is a small gym exclusively for taking classes in Pilates using a machine called "The Reformer". There are a couple of other classes offered in a small back room (like aerobic kickboxing and barre) but the main classes are the reformer classes which are offered in three levels- TLC, power, and purist (most difficult). There are around 10 reformer machines I believe. I began going to Lab 5 last summer in an attempt to gain motivation to work out. Personally, I find classes the best way to stay engaged and I have indeed found that the classes offered at lab 5 do keep me coming back for more. The instructors are versatile and generally pretty great. I recommend Jessie and Cassandra in particular. The downfalls of this gym are the price, expiration dates on packages (good for only one month), and the limited class times. There aren't a lot of weekend classes and there are no mid-day classes. But regardless, Lab 5 deserves 4 stars because it's a great place to work out :). read more

In town for a visit. Totally needing a Pilates reformer class! Nothing is open on Sunday am. Except this place in Capital Hill. I looked on line and the class was not full. When I arrived that morning it was full. But, they had an opening in their TRX class. What? Never tried it. It's straps on a hook attached to the ceiling. Kind of neanderthal and sexy at the same time. It was a really great work out! Lots of music and high energy instructor. I was sore for a few days after...Yay! I love to pack it into a workout and feel it for days after. TRY it! Even if you love Pilates, try this class. The guy at the front desk is so sweet and my class instructor! Love this little clean trendy area. Great find! read more

I love this place! The Reformer (for the pilates class) is what got me excited about LAB5 Fitness and now I am addicted. There are about 6 different classes to choose from and they will all kick your butt I promise! I have been sore (good sore not injured sore) since I started taking classes here a week and a half ago! The instructors are great and the class sizes are small which I really like. I also like how you can sign up for classes on-line so you don't have to get there early to make sure you are in the class. The only down side is that it is a little pricey. read more

I wish the classes were a bit more organized and the music a little more choreographed to the routines. The instructors were super nice and fun though. The studio is somewhat small and quaint. Would be nice to have a shower available. I work out regularly so I didn't feel like the classes were challenging enough for me. If I'm going to attend a class I really need it to be kicked up several notches (stealing from Emeril). Anyway, it's a good place for beginners and/or you need to be around others to get motivated. It's unique -- that's for sure. Parking is a pain on Capital Hill unless you live in the area and can walk. read more

I had to take a hiatus to do some PT (apparently I was a little over-zealous and overworked my hip). I just returned and had my second class today. I was sad to see Marlys had moved on but really glad I got to train with her. That said, the new instructors I've trained with so far are amazing. Also, Julie gives great cues in her classes and her metaphors are hilarious (it helps me laugh through the torture she puts us through). ;) For someone returning from a long bout of being sedentary, it reminded me why I love this place. All fitness levels welcome and even if you have to occasionally modify like I do, you're still guaranteed to have a fabulous workout. read more

I have been going to Lab5 for about two weeks now and I absolutely love this place! My first class was "reformer tone and stretch". The staff recommended this class for me since I have never done anything on a reformer machine before. Our instructor Cassandra was amazing - she checks on everyone to make sure we have the correct forms (which was extremely helpful for beginners like me.. :) ), and she also explains what muscles we should be feeling being used when we were doing some more complicated moves. I actually felt different after only taking one class. Then I tried many other classes Lab5 offers with different instructors, and they are all amazing! Cardio dance is so much fun and Cardio kickboxing with Jessie is a must! Reformer fit with David was wonderful and I love take reformer pilates with Susie! I even tried the Aerial conditioning class for the first time. :D I was not a big fun of going to fitness classes and working out with people I don't know before.. but lab5 made me always looking forward to going to my next class! read more

I absolutely love LAB5 Fitness! Best Gym I have ever gone to! I jumped right in and signed up for the Power Reformer class with Ron Moodey which I was told was ambitious for a novice. They weren't lying! But Ron is exceptional - he talked me through each exercise and modified some exercises for me until I got stronger. While the class can hold up to 10 people, Ron constantly walks through the room and talks to each person to make sure they are on track for getting their pest personal results. It really makes it feel like a personalized session. I have taken other classes as well and really like the Barre and Cardio dance classes. I have been going for a little over a month and in one month I fit into the wedding gown I decided on a lot better and the wedding boutique owner asked what I had done to make me drop weight and tone up. I answered LAB5 fitness! read more

Nice, clean, boutique studio with small group classes. I'll drop in time to time off Class Pass since I travel often. I've only done the Pilates Reformer classes. I've taken it from Ron, James, and Marlys. All are great instructors that provided good modifications for my scoliosis. I really liked Marlys teaching style and her playlists the most. I just don't think she teaches there anymore which is a bummer. Good core/full body workout burn! read more

I love this gym! All the classes have been great! The teachers are really nice and helpful! I like the people at the gym too. Everyone makes you feel welcome and happy you are there. I recommended this gym to anyone who likes group class or is thinking about group class! read more

I think any new type of fitness regimen can be daunting... We're taught to hate ourselves, to hate getting fit, to hate healthy foods... It's just sad and frustrating. At lab 5, there are several higher level classes that a "large marge" like me can't do yet- but I've never been made to feel like I couldn't get good enough to do them eventually. So far I've taken the aerial conditioning class as well as the TLC reformer Pilates class, and I'm really pleased with the general vibe here. I'm a big girl, I outweigh the aerial instructor Melinda by 150lbs at least, and I'm a foot taller than her. But she has never once made me feel out of place or like I couldn't do anything the other students could do. She's always ready to help me into an aerial position or spot me for a flip, and she has consistently been a positive force in what would have otherwise been a truly frightening new experience for me. The positive attitude she has rubs off too- her regulars are always cheering folks on and trying out new things, and nobody cares if you or they look goofy- it's all part of learning this awesome type of fitness and having fun!!!! I am really happy at lab 5, and while I agree their scheduling system takes some getting used to, it's no big deal if you just take a minute to fiddle with it and learn how to do it. read more

Love the power barre classes! It's a great combination of different workouts and is just challenging enough. The yoga sculpt classes are also great but haaarrrd! Overall really like tribe but wish they'd get new yoga mats. read more

**Confessions of an ex-crossfitter** I was a dedicated Crossfitter for over 4 years. That is, until I broke my foot on November 2014. That all came to a screeching halt. I ended up having a Lisfeanc fracture (mid-foot break) where I broke all 5 metatarsals. After surgery and about 8 weeks of non weight bearing, I was finally able to start rehabbing my foot through physical therapy. My PT specialist recommended for me to try Pilates and here I am about 4 months later- the newest Pilates advocate! What do I love about Pilates? It is a full body workout! With Crossfit, I used to be sore for days, but only the part of the body we worked that day. With Pilates? I am sore ALL OVER! It is a total core workout and my abs have never looked better. On top of that, the workout is low impact and my foot has slowly gained back its strength. What do I love about Lab5? I was a newbie Pilates person. Nervous to take the plunge into a workout that seemed daunting. But the instructors were incredibly welcoming and showed me how to use the machine. It is simple and intuitive. The other students are just as friendly. Additionally, they have a free app for my phone that makes signing up for classes a snap. I am thrilled I made the switch to Pilates and I can say that I am officially a convert. Pilates has made me stronger and toned! Lab5 fitness is full of wonderful instructors who are so encouraging and positive, while still managing to kick my butt. So - what are you waiting for? Sign up and I promise you won't regret it! read more

This place is AMAZING!! Been here two times but can tell you they've already got me as a loyal customer! I was actually really scared to try Pilates on this huge machine they called the reformer, but my sister finally convinced me to go. Janna our instructor was wonderful, she took her time and showed me how everything worked and then was great showing me modifications I could do (as let's face it I hadn't worked out in months and needed it.) Midway through the class I though my legs were going to collapse but she was positive and motivating and I was able to finish! By the time I got home I was already sore, in muscles I didn't even knew I had! It was then, and the next two days as I was hobbling around, that I knew this was the workout I'd been looking for! It's slow and controlled and simply amazing for your body! Thanks Lab5 and Janna for helping me find something to improve my quality of life! I live in west Seattle but it's worth the drive. I've been telling all my friends and more about it and would recommend this place to anyone, everyone is extremely friendly and motivating so go check them out! read more

I tried the reformer Lite class on class pass. There were only 3 other people in my class as it was midday on a weekday which I liked cause I didn't feel as intimated. It was definitely a work out and I was super sore afterwards but not sooo sore that I couldn't walk and felt discouraged. I would definitely come back. Part of the difficulty was understanding how to use the equipment and getting used to those movements but the instructor was very encouraging and had a good positive attitude. I will be back! read more

I'm a huge fan of Lab5 and the fantastic trainers and staff. Granted, I am a bit biased as the studio is just two blocks from my apartment (nullifying any parking concerns) but having taken various classes at 2 Gold's Gym locations, 2 different Crossfit gyms, and 2 other independent Seattle gyms over the past six years, this fitness experience is my favorite. Pros: - trainers on the whole (every class feels like a semi-private class) - great website for managing class reservations - studio space is well-maintained - location/convenience Cons - a few later classes on the weekends would be nice - Admittedly on the pricier side on paper read more

All the instructors and classes are fun. I love the Pilates classes the most and Rebekah is one of my faves. Something about Rebekah's style that sets her class apart. I wish she taught more classes. Partly why I gave a 4 star rating. It's the first time I've experienced the reformer Pilates and have become hooked. I love the fact it's non impact but you definitely get a good strength building/toning workout. Just the TLC classes alone have left me sore for a few days. Everyone is really welcoming. Miss Molly is the friendliest of all and love seeing her every time I go. The only complaint I have is the cancellation process but they're not the only fitness center who implements this process. I can definitely understand why and yes,... it makes one more committed to go. There are a few times I had to cancel due to sudden injury or illness and these things happen unexpectedly. I wish they could provide grace in instances like these or offer one or two cancellation a month without penalty. read more
