Kay was knowledgeable and modified her exercises to keep my neck safe (spasmodic torticollus) while still challenging my abs, arms, legs and tush. The Balanced Body equipment seemed almost new and Kay really knows her stuff. Locals were pleasant and welcoming, and I'd recommend Kay's class to beginners and devotees alike. Check with David the owner for schedule and reasonable prices. He even gave me a free water bottle!

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.

That's enough room for about 4 people at any given moment to stretch. Anyone with a practical knowledge of this gym would gladly sacrifice some of the redundant equipment (excess bikes, the arm matrix cardio machines, etc) for some places to stretch! Hello!

This is a brand new studio in the Everett area offering several types of fitness classes including…read morecycling, yoga, cardio dance, bootcamp, and some specialty pop up classes that focus on specific areas of the body that you may want to target. I've loved all of the classes that I have taken and the instructors are some of the best I've ever had in the industry. What I really like about this studio is their focus on the whole mind and body. What I really, really love about this place is the sense of community that has been created by the owner, instructors, and the staff. I always look forward to my workout and of course, I always feel phenomenal after my workout.

What more can I say about this amazing place?!…read more Seriously, this place has it all: great coaches, the best equipment, a clean gym, friendly staff, and most importantly- THE BEST MEMBERS! I can't speak highly enough about the culture and environment that Coaches Jeff and Leah have created! Their workouts are fun and uplifting, their advice is technically sound, and the atmosphere they cultivate is motivating and breeds health and wellness. As a healthcare provider, I will continue to send my patients to North Corner Studios because they will achieve their goals in a healthy way, have less chance for injuries with the form and cues that Jeff and Leah will teach them and they will definitely have fun along the way! If you are looking for a gym in the Everett area, look no further than NCS. This will soon be THE place to be for anyone and everyone looking to improve or maintain their health!

I was excited to try this place until I arrived and found out that masks are not required inside…read more Supposedly you have to wear one while entering and exiting, this is not the case and every person who was working out there and coming and going weren't wearing a mask. This was very disappointing, I was hoping to join a fitness place that was responsible however this place really dropped the ball. Even though I purchased a session, I ended up walking out, you guys can just keep the money I guess.

BIG KUDOS! I would like to send a big shout-out to the staff at Emerald City…read moreAthletic Club to go beyond to help a fellow member. I have been going to this establishment for 16 years and I could not be happier. The club put a lot of money into recent renovations and upgrades. It is up to standards with state-of-the-art equipment. Whether a person chooses to use the machinery for cardiovascular purposes, muscle strength, or weight loss, this is the ideal place to achieve your fitness goals! It simply is not possible to walk out the door without feeling a profound sense of accomplishment and better overall health. The best part of all is the staff. I have had Cerebral Palsy all my life. I have had to make do with one wheelchair to use both inside my home and in my car. It was in bad shape. There is a wonderful maintenance lady by the name of Jen H. surprised me and gave me a cool wheelchair that she had at home. This chair was brand new and is a great chair for me to utilize at home. But the kindness and compassion did not stop there. My old wheelchair was in desperate need of an overhaul. She went ahead and ordered me a new seat for the chair and new armrests. Now, I can feel more at ease knowing I have extra reinforcements with new and sturdy material. Now I have both a wheelchair for my house and one for my car that I can use at the gym. That made my life so much easier. Jenn and a courteous staff member by the name of John Y. volunteered their time and installed both items for me right there at the club. The staff is so caring and friendly, and they do put the customer first as you can see. There is also a friendly lady who works at the front desk named Jenny V. who helps me put my wheelchair in my car when I am ready to leave at the end of the day. The staff at this club makes me feel like I matter. They are like family to me. I am committed to being a lifelong member of this gym. I give my highest regards and recommendations to this staff and cannot speak highly enough about them. If you are looking for a new gym, please go to the Emerald City Athletic Club. You will not be disappointed.

If it were possible to leave a 0 star review I would. Save…read moreyour money, time, and energy and go literally to any other gym. 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. oh also. i left a review for ballinger which i think is their newest but i usually go to everett (my husband goes to ballinger and I've been a couple times) - uniquely to the everett location, everything is disgusting. I would NOT shower there if I were you. At least one different machine is broken every week, the bathroom is perpetually wet probably because they have no paper towels. Honestly we go to 24 hour now and it's a breath of fresh air. literally **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 ended up hurting my lower back through work and wasn't able to do any heavy lifting. Kirk offers MLT (manual ligament therapy) which helped tremendously with my sprained ligament. Fast forward to 2022 later, I have not seen Kirk for almost 6 years. I am 8 months pregnant, live in another state, and have sciatica nerve pain in my lower back. I called him out of the blue because I didn't know what I could do in terms of stretching and rolling out safely with me being super prego. Even from half the country away, Kirk has guided me with different roll out techniques and stretches to help alleviate the pain. 10/10 would highly recommend if you're looking for an awesome trainer/life long friend!!!

Regular trainers just work you hard and want to see you barely able to walk or move. Kirk is different every move VERY is intentional and focused.

Don't get me wrong I'm hurting after working with Kirk but it's MY workout not a "one fits all" session.
