I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thank you guys for everything

Wonderful place to workout…read more Dozens of people have messaged me and asked more specifics relating to my other review. Here are some details: Classes can be very very full so plan to dance close to other people. As of March 2022 masks are no longer required and most everyone attending (adult classes) do not wear them. Music is lively and fun but also super loud so bring your ear plugs if your hearing is sensitive. If you register for a class don't miss the class or cancel the class no closer than 8 hours before the class (I believe) or you will be charged a $15.00 fee. Many many people want to get into class so cancel early. SDF has mostly dance fitness classes offered in the evening and a few other class options (turbo kick etc offered in the morning) as part of the $125.00 monthly membership fee. In addition there are some other special classes (Twerk and monthly dance parties etc) offered at about $25 per class but see the website for further details. I do not believe SDF is part of "class pass" etc. No showers or lockers but there is a bathroom and a bunch of cubbies. The dance floor is cushioned which is great for the KNEES. Super tall ceilings and the gigantic garage door stays open which allows for great air movement. Parking is often tough so you might have to park off site at the park or near the Costco and walk over to the studio. Uplifting community and a great place to land if you love to dance for fitness but aren't looking for super complicated choreography Yes, ALL are welcome here!!!

She can't stop talking about it all week, dances wherever she is, and always looks forward to her next class. There are about 5 other kids in her class. Teacher Eva is great with the kids, and parents get to sit and watch in the lobby area on the tvs if they choose to stick around. The lobby area seems to be a bit small and can get a little crowded between classes as parents drop off or pick up, but my daughter loves it so much we enrolled her for the 23/24 year in a ballet/tap/tumble class. I also have nothing else to compare it to, so I have no idea how big other places are or if they provide a peek into the dance classes with the tv, but I like that this is offered here!

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/

While it's been a great opportunity for learning how to follow directions and take turns, both my husband and I didn't feel much of a welcoming environment. If you can start your kid early at 18 months or if you have a very calm toddler that likes to follow directions, this place would be perfect. Not the case for our son. All he wanted to do was run around in circles and climb on the equipment... Which is still perfectly developmentally normal for a 2 year old.
