The Seattle Gym — Local services in Seattle

If you're considering choosing this as your gym of choice, think twice. Let me break out my review in two sections:

Facility & equipment: The staff does a fair job keeping this place clean. Although equipment are mostly old, they're well maintained and you should be able to find most things you need for your workout. There are areas dedicated for stretching, etc. which is also nice. Only problem is with people just spending hours on same equipment and the staff not doing anything about it despite complaints. Even worse, some of those culprits are trainers or staff members. Go figure.

Management: Biggest reason I'm giving this sketchy business 1-star. Sure, most gyms are sketchy with shady cancellation practice but this gym takes it to the next level. First of all, check out their website. Do you see an e-mail address listed there? No, they use a generic submit form tool which doesn't even send you a copy. What does this mean? When you request something, like cancellation request, you have no documented proof (outside of taking screenshot, I suppose) and they'll play dumb and say they've never received cancellation request. You call for the same, they'll hang up on you. I didn't expect amazing customer service but this was the worst I've ever seen.

If you're near the area, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I recommend that you check out Planet Fitness instead. I know, I know. But it's still miles better than this place and you'll...

This beautiful gym has a diverse setup of quality equipment and amenities. It’s laid out in a fashion that allows for a more private workout experience while also maintaining a positive feeling of community and togetherness. Locker rooms are equipped with luxurious amenities, saunas, showers, and a fireplace with seating arrangements. There are cardio sections of the gym, multi purpose rooms, options for fitness classes, and several other lounge areas with tables for comfort for work breaks or good conversation. Main areas of the gym include shared bins for equipment like belts, straps, chains, etc. that stay at the gym, which emphasizes the kind of integrity & decency of the company you’ll find at this facility.

The staff are incredibly friendly, the gym is located in a safe neighborhood, and the trainers are absolutely top tier, offering 1:1 high end, top of the line training sessions with customized plans for each client. If you’re interested in more than just a great workout routine and you want more opportunities that support a healthy lifestyle, this gym offers the benefits to help you reach...

It's a fairly nice gym, friendly staff and professional instructors. I'd rate it clean environment and they have all the tools you need. There's just one thing makes me very uncomfortable and frustrated. Smartphones in the chancing room and in the sauna. It's disturbing that someone is shooting a selfie whilst you're changing.. Or doing what ever they need to be doing with their smartphones in the..SAUNA?! I can't imagine the kind of addiction one might have if they really must bring their phone to sauna where one should relax and meditate. UGH. Several times I felt like some one may have been filming me (intentionally or unintentionally), though I can't be sure. This made me so uneasy. I told the staff, but they shrugged it off. It made me consider switching gyms and I have heard that other gyms in the area have zero tolerance for smartphones in the changing area and saunas. I would totally root for this, as these days you never know what people are doing with...
