I have run couple gyms and know that you do need to make the quota. But 150 dollars for a gym…read moremembership???? That's ridiculous. And if you want to bring guests, they have to pay another 15 dollars just to come in with you. This isn't budget friendly, and the place felt like an old rundown YMCA. Definitely make sure to look around for gyms before you consider this one.

This Gym is very small, but great things come in small packages! I joined on a Living Social deal…read moreand was told that after a week I could roll into a membership with no enrollment fee. I only wanted to try the Zumba class, but I have a feeling I will be utilizing the equipment there also on off-Zumba days. The staff is friendly and helpful, the facility is clean, and it't only 5 minutes from my house. Kristina, the Zumba instructor is fantastic, and certainly makes the class extra fun and highly energized! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is due to the gym's size... but for what I need, it's perfect! Very excited to continue my visits here!

I also hear that there's a tanning bed which I also haven't used. I sometimes wish they were open later but that doesn't take away from it.

I have been going to Whetstone for about 5 years, and I like it…read more I previously went to a "corporate" type place and after 8 years, they shut down and did not even notify me. Whetstone is smaller but that fits me. Weekday mornings there is usually a dozen or so "mature adults'' and it is a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Typically, Folks greet each other even if just to say "good morning". I have had trainers offer suggestions or help even though I am not their client. The facility is well maintained and clean. When Donnie, the owner, is not with a client he is usually checking equipment or cleaning something. He is very concerned with maintaining a high-quality facility. It may not be the place for everyone. I'm just an old guy that feels better when I work out and I think that is common on weekday mornings. I intend to continue going to Whetstone Fitness.

I would recommend planet fitness more than this place because planet has more equipment and space…read moreand the price is better but anytime fitness is as good as it gets if you're not comparing it to planet fitness. Just a tad on the smaller side

I was a member of the Anytime Fitness in Tumwater for 6 years. The staff has been on their A game…read moresince I've been there, although there's been different members, top tier every time, rating 5/5. They recently added a deadlift bar along with a platform and a new bench into the mix, high quality stuff, equipment 5/5. Cleanliness has always been great here as well. Anytime Fitness Tumwater has set my expectations high for future gyms. I'd give this gym a 6/5.

I have been going to Thrive since about 2016; it's been a wonderful experience for me. This place…read moreis great, has everything a person could want to get a good work out and a hot sauna for relaxation. Even in a time of great confusion, I had a place to go to when world thought closing down everyone from healthy choices, and religion services was the way to stop a virus that turned out to be a minor inconvenience. The staff at this facility are extremely friendly, always helpful. Thank you Thrive Lacey Corporate Center.

Another day at the YMCA, and the hot tub is still not working. The entire Y was closed for repairs…read moreand refurbishing for three weeks. And six weeks later the hot tub failed, for unknown reasons?????? And it remained unknown for weeks. Finally it was determined the computer controlling the chemicals was not operating. Really. For sixty years chemicals were added by hand, and measured the results. But the staff cannot do that now? The weather turned really cold, and the hallway heater to the locker room failed. Oh well dash, and into the warm shower. Well so those run cold, and after weeks of complaint, it runs hot, but now only for 10 seconds with no pressure. I could hand pump water faster than pushing that little button every ten seconds. Half the soap dispensers do not dispense soap??? Now a new learning, double pumping water with the left hand, and soap with the right, while not pushing your self over. Oh well, a quick cold shower is invigorating and the showers are wide open. Better keep moving. The drain in the drying area has been clogged for two weeks. The standing water is great for spreading foot fungus, and there is no way around it, but the signs are there to warn you not to slip, on the now slimy floors. The Y does warn you to avoid liability, but when the hazard is not avoidable, one wonders if just unplugging the drain would have a better result. You and I don't have the time to discuss all the bungling. Time for management, whether it is new, or old.

Ymca is a rip off who takes advantage of everyone. I have coached many teams in my younger years…read moreand now my grandchildren are starting to play. Find out it cost over $100 to play basketball and when asked what size shirt they wear he was given a shirt way to big and when asked they responded with they didn't have any his size, so why ask what size shirt when you sign up, also no balls supplied for practice every player was asked to supply there own ball. Ymca has gone way down hill since I was coaching. Tried to reach out to sports program director and never can get ahold of them and never get calls returned. Ymca is a rip off stay away there are other programs that are lots better.

Well.. the time has come for me to write this review for OTF West Olympia. In the previous years,…read moreI've written two lengthy, detailed reviews for OTF Downtown Bellevue, so for reviews on workout programs and membership info, please check out my other reviews or other reviews here. : ) This review is for the staff at OTF West Olympia, and what makes this location the best one yet in the Puget Sound. I have been to several OTFs locations in Puget Sound, and some in California and Texas. This location has a great balance between the front desk staff and the coaches, they work so well together. They're truly "OTF FamOly (otf family Olympia)." The entire culture here is extremely inviting and encouraging as how OTF should be (though I've not felt so much at other locations). Front desk staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and you can also see them working out in the studios sometimes. Coach Kylee, Jamie, Q, Megan, Dilllon are a solid team of coaches here at OTF West Olympia they all have different coaching techniques and background so I find it fun to try all of their workouts. To be honest, at other studios, I used to have favorite coaches... and some I did not enjoy as much. Here, that has never been a problem. Oh, and they all have great taste in workout music which is huuuuge! Another very important point I should mention is that OTF West Olympia's Facebook group and Instagram pages are managed extremely well. Other OTFs, not so much- you see very outdated social media pages and no postings from coaches. Lastly, they have done a fantastic job with their communication on Studio hours and program updates during pandemic. They consistently review and update studio times to fit our "WFH schedules" and managed to try 30-min, and 45-minute workouts for those who have busy WFH lives. This studio is only less than 2 years old and have already accomplished so much. I am so glad to have this studio so close to me.
