Urban Playground — Local services in Seattle

I love my gym Urban Playground. Chris the owner has helped me get back into the swing of it and provided guidance when sidelined by a unexpected surgery and even put my membership on hold during the process. People in the gym are very focused on their workouts rather than parading around trying to get noticed. The gym is kept clean on a daily basis and equipment is new and well maintained. I never have a problem finding a parking space in the garage and Street parking is quite available. There are plenty of windows so you can look out while you’re working out. Equipment ranges from the usual aerobic machines to matrix fitness machines to TRX and free weights. The Wi-Fi is strong. Everyone follows the COVID-19 restrictions and setting up an appointment during this time online is very easy. I highly recommend this gym For someone that is serious about getting back into shape And taking care of themselves Going forward. Thank you Chris for creating this wonderful...

I love this gym for these reasons Clean and sanitized Lowkey and no obnoxious gruntings and taking up a squat rack for 30 minutes Not crowded The most important is the sense of community

My physical therapist was really surprised by the flexibility and mobility gains I got in my joints just from the moves Chris taught me. It is an awesome gym and you won't regret signing up. Go out there and achieve your goals whether it is losing some weight, gaining muscle, or running a marathon, make today that day to change your life...

Having been a member of numerous gyms in the last 20 years, I'd say UP is one of my favorites! I'm a solo exerciser and I love the self-service arrangement here. No front desk or personal trainers to interrupt your workouts, just come and go as you please. It also means there are cameras everywhere, which makes me feel safer AND the gym is open 365 days a year.

There is plenty of cardio equipment and machines for weight training. At peak hours, you may have to wait for a treadmill, as with almost any gym. Be aware that there are no locker rooms or showers, but I live nearby so that's not an issue for me.

The owners/management are very responsive, and any time I've had an email with questions or concerns, they...
