The sheer variety of isolation exercises possible here should excite any intermediate/advanced lifter! * incredible, well designed space surrounding the machines for free-weight activities, bars for deadlifts and old fashioned bench presses, enough high quality ROGUE benches to go around. * an upstairs area which provides additional machines, as well as empty space for stretching, personal stretching, etc. * limited selection of cardio machines that face outside This gym is very clearly targeted to serious fitness enthusiasts and is probably not a great place for the cardio-only half-asses lifting crowd. The price tag does help weed out the unserious, and I appreciate it! Thank you Kim and Jordan for creating such an amazing space, with fantastic energy and amazing equipment. You two KNOW how to build a fitness space.

Ray is an amazing sculptor. A very intellectual one too. Today, we focus on the arm. He explained…read morethe importance of the anterior, lateral, and posterior regions and we find areas where I need to improve on. I love collaborating with Ray because he is very, VERY knowledgeable. He can breakdown your workouts into simple formats and he can explain things into science when necessary. Our communication was amazing! When I have an injury, I say it. And the moment I say it, he immediately knows what to do and he shifts gears to work around it. I even mentioned about my left knee ACL surgery and guess what? He helped me work around that too! My goal was to get back into shuffling (electronic music dance form) and he pinpointed the areas where I need to work on most in order for me to effectively get back into my goal. He is such an amazing Trainer. The team is very welcoming and it feels like a second family.

Ray is a fantastic trainer with deep knowledge of his craft. I booked the 3 month Lean Out program…read morewith him and he was diligent in explaining all my nutrition and macro needs while ensuring I understood it all. In fact, he spent almost 4 hours with me (program covers only 2) just to explain everything in meticulous detail and cover all the modifications required for my individual health needs. He gave me twice the amount of time at no extra charge - he did it just because he cares. I had never worked with a trainer before and it made all the difference working with a professional like Ray. He was extremely attentive, motivating, and FUN! We became friends and I always looked forward to my training sessions. Another big advantage to book with PureResults is because Ray explains the reasoning behind each exercise and the reasoning behind the order we do it in because he cares about instilling that knowledge in his clients as well. I learned more about my body and how to take care of it working with Ray in this short time than I have in the last 10 years I've been trying to yo-yo diet and work out on my own. Your money is well spent here - Ray and May are honest, hard-working, knowledgeable, caring, and awesome individuals who want nothing more than to change peoples' lives for the better. Thank you for everything you've done for me and I can't wait to continue ASAP. BOOK YOUR SESSIONS HERE!!!! You won't regret it.

I have been consistently coming here, on average 4 times a week, since mid-December 2015. Overall…read moreit is a top-notch fitness center with more bells and whistles than a Planet Fitness or LA Fitness, and the cost is commensurate with the service (you pay more, but get more). The staff is always friendly. As noted by another reviewer, a "few" of the older patrons could be described as grumpy, but in general the clientele is pretty nice. You get the typical range of personalities, like in any gym. Parking can sometimes be hard, especially during peak hours. I spend most of my time in the aerobic room and the weight room. There have only been a few occasions when I wasn't able to use my preferred piece of aerobic equipment. It's a different story in the free-weight room where it fills up fast. The benches are placed far too close to each other and the club would be wise to expand this area. When I was a member of the club about five years ago (I moved to NYC and just recently returned) I used the racket ball courts and the basketball courts, too. Now not so much. I just lift and sweat. I've lost 20 pounds here and plan to stay a member as long as I can afford it.

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/

I am a local Chiropractor and I started sending my patients to Kirk and Grant at Fit4life during the "corrective" phase of their care to gain strength, stability and movement. Grant and Kirk are very detailed during the initial evaluations of each client, both are extremely knowledgeable about how to address muscle dysfunction. This is prevalent with the fantastic results my patients have seen with increased core strength and less fatigue of back and extremity muscles. If you are looking to start a routine, tone up or just reach a physical goal these guys can definitely get you there.

Grant is awesome! I've been a member of a local gym for over 15 years and have never really found…read morea trainer that I liked and believed in. It's always pump a bunch of iron, take a bunch of supplements, and pay for multiple training sessions that leave you limping for days. But I am very happy that I got a referral to Fit 4 Life. I am excited to say that I leave my training sessions with Grant, a little bit sore but very satisfied. My muscles are sore, I've worked up a good sweat, and I'm proud that I pushed through another workout. One of the reasons I picked Grant over someone at my local gym is that he has numerous certifications and continuing education. He keeps up on fitness techniques and nutrition. He's given me some great ideas for healthy eating. He's very positive and motivating. And he's great at gearing your workout to your goals and health issues. I like the personal attention and the privacy of his gym. I've been seeing Grant for a year and a half now and am glad that I found him through a reference from a friend. I can say that I am definitely in much less pain and have lost 20 pounds in the process. I am more fit, healthy, and happy. I plan on continuing my workout sessions with Grant to loose 40 more pounds.
