Fremont Health Club — Local services in Seattle

24 hour access, clean and consistently well-maintained equipment, reasonable rates, and very friendly staff. I think it's a testament to both the staff and the integrity of the members using the equipment to not abuse the machines, and take prompt care in fixing them.

I love that there's 24 hour access as sometimes the best end to a stressful shift is an hour and a half at the gym to decompress. Part of what I love about the gym is that it feels kind of tucked away/hidden, and you don't feel like you're on parade to be judged by the passerby walking by like other Seattle gyms. It's almost like a reward for being a local Fremont-ian. There are two smaller activity rooms where they have classes (though due to my schedule I haven't been able to attend any yet). Bathrooms are out in the hall, and the changing rooms are inside the gym, but are pretty small, though I've been fortunate to have maybe only had 6-9 people total in the gym when I've gone, and I always come already dressed down, so I've never found that to be a real issue for me, but I suppose it could be for some. I also can't remember if there was a shower in the changing room, but I don't believe there is one. Nevertheless, I live so close that I haven't been too upset about this particular amenity. In the gym, there's your standard weight and resistance machines, barbells, stability balls, medicine balls, hula hoops, step boxes, a punching bag/speed bag areas, dead-lift station, bench press, and a ton of free weights. There's multiple stair-climbers, stationary bikes, including 2 bikes with virtual reality screens; same goes for the ellipticals - many of which are iPod capable. There are 5 or 6 treadmills, and several TVs by the treadmills and free weights - all with accessible remotes for members to change the channels. You've also got two main areas where you can do floor mat exercises. If I had to come up with any major downside, it'd be that the Wifi isn't great. Even being password protected, and with hardly any members in the gym, I think I spent more time trying to buffer a song to load on Spotify than the length of the actual song. But to be fair, even the signs with the Wifi passwords admit that they're looking to improve it, so we'll see. So I've given up on the Wifi thing for now, and try to come more prepared with set playlists already downloaded on my phone, or begrudgingly...

FHC offers a remarkably refreshing atmosphere for anyone tired of being harassed by judgy personal trainers or other members in larger, corporate gyms. The overall value of the membership is outstanding. I have been a member here for over a year and there are no personal trainers on the floor interrupting your workout and the other members treat each other respectfully and truly mind their own business. What I like the most about the club is the variety of all level fitness classes offered daily with seriously top notch instructors. I get bored easily but sure enough every week each class has different exercises that challenge the body and the brain. I really appreciate the instructors here that make a concerted effort to offer ques throughout the class so that I know I am using good technique and form. This facility may not be the most upscale in design compared to others, but it is clean, well maintained, and has everything...

This is the best gym I’ve ever been a guest of! In the years Ive been coming here I’ve never had a desire to switch. The facilities are top tier and always so clean and accessible. The owner and staff feel like family, they are so nice and helpful, I always look forward to seeing them when I come in to work out. I love that it’s literally never closed, you can work out any time that suits your schedule. I’ve attended a few classes out of the many they offer and the coaches/trainers are super knowledgeable, friendly and have a great wealth of experience, so you know you’re getting the most out of the classes here. The spirit of this club is laid back and welcoming. People love it here and so do I. I’m confident that if you give this place a try, you’ll be glad you did! Stop by and see what I’m talking about . Best little...
