This is a classic, no-frills, 24/7 access lifting gym. If you're looking to do some serious weightlifting (as many boutique and chain gyms tend to be poorly set up for, or flat out don't support) this is the place for you. It's a compact space and the leg machines are in a separated room in the back (you can't see it from the street, but there are leg machines) but it has all you need! Personal training options available, including athletic performance training: powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, and conditioning for basketball, football, wrestling athletes. This is the secret sauce to this gem of a gym: the programming. As an athlete, I've never had gains in strength training as I've had at CCFC in the last few years.

Cheers to ECA Columbia City!…read more Starting with the Mission, Vision, and Values statement clearly displayed on the wall, this place "brings it" every day. I've been a devoted gym rat my entire life, and I've been a member of or visited hundreds of gyms across the country. The EAC in Columbia City matches the best of any of them. Their free weights, weight lifting machines, and cardio equipment, are all up to date, and both varied and plentiful, so waits are minimal. And their Champions area is both spacious and well equipped. But it all starts with their people. Starting at the front desk. Dallas, Huy, and Erika, are among the first faces you see and, as with all good customer facing companies, they are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. And I've noticed that each regularly uses the seemingly lost skill of name recognition. They routinely display a proud sense of ownership. On every visit, I look forward to the words of encouragement from Dallas, and the smile and fist bump from Huy. On the back end, led by Zach, the fitness leader, they have a cadre of impressive trainers. Of the team, Sydney, Marcus, Sean, and Tre stand out for both their technical and interpersonal skills. Sydney, in particular, is both versatile and flexible whether an individual client or group is looking for weight training, conditioning, sparring/boxing, or simply lending an ear and a meaningful conversation. Similarly, Marcus is impressive with his high energy training and group Champions Class. He has, by far, the best music selection of any exercise class that I've ever been around. Kudos to the Emerald City Athletics!

My body needed a rest day for sure, these classes can be intense, but it makes you feel good. Most instructors are super fun, there were some I did not care for, I do not remember their names since I was just there for a short period of time. JD and Chris were very kool, oh and Sam. Who would have thought spin can be hard :))) I took their classes the most, not intentionally, and we had fun every time. It is very important while you are running out of breath :D I liked how my body was changing and how my stamina improved even in that one week. I am good at cardio and flexibility; I thought that weights are not my thing, but these awesome trainers proved me otherwise. F45 is not only a group class facility but a strong, caring community. And they make you feel like you are part of it very quickly. The instructors take classes with us too sometimes and they push you gently, I felt inspired not annoyed. My friends have an unlimited class and that is how you get your money worth, I checked Dallas, their promotion is $30 for 3 classes. Unfortunately, there is none close to me, and I know myself, if the gym is more than 10 min drive, I won't go. It is fine, cannot wait to come visit again and see those lovely peeps at F45.

I have been going to RoundBox for about 3 months now and I look forward to every session. Never I have I ever said "I looked forward to going to the gym", but Roundox is not your typical gym and that is why it works for me. Curt is a fantastic and a highly skilled personal trainer. He has developed a full body workout system that will keep you coming back for more! Give Roundbox a try!!

So I had just moved to Seattle from sunny SoCal and found myself in a horrible rut that typically…read morefound me on my couch curled up with my dogs and best friend Ben & Jerry's... I think it was right around Halloween when I scrolled by Curt's Facebook ad. I answered and a day or so later heard back from Curt Ligot, and at that point he honestly changed my life. I had pushed the scale at 236lbs, and was being told by my doctor that I had tested with border line diabetes with levels at 6.4. I didn't really have a local support system, knew no one and was starting a new job in a new city and rather down in the dumps. My knees hurt, my back was sore and had gotten real lazy. Living in Kent, I was hesitant on the drive to Beacon Hill to see what Curt was working with. However, I got a good feeling from talking with him and felt a level of comfort so I decided to go in and give it a try, heck it was a free session with a trainer. I had sessions in the past (LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, Bally's, Gold's) with trainers and all were basically the same. Do lots of cardio and train on this program that everyone else they coach are on, and no need to listen to what the client wanted or was telling was ailing them. So to meet with Curt and in one session know this was something I had to put all my heart and soul into, it was different. He listened to me about my aching knees, sore back and all my employees that lead to a daily migraine headache. Obviously abs are made in the kitchen just as much as they are in the gym. But things seemed to happen quicker with LTS. Not only did my knees feel better, I had more energy and desire to eat healthier. I talked to Curt during my sessions on food, and health ideas out of the gym. It was awesome and just as important as the sessions. He gave me tips and pointed out a couple key factors I would've never thought were not the healthiest choices to eat. I could seriously go on and on about how beneficial this program is/was to me. Whether you work with Curt or Jared you will get a great attitude, complete attention, 100% support, motivation, advice and all in an environment that makes you want to learn and grow as a person. Before you know it my twice a week visits went to 4 times a week, and the drive from Kent was never an issue I welcomed it. Working with LTS helped me reduce my body fat from 28% to the 18% range, my doctor flipped out when 9 months later I was testing at 5.3 range and completely in the healthy range, see you later diabetes!! Oh and not to mention I now hover in the 185 - 195lbs in weight, I stayed dessert free for over 200 days with the help of Curt and team. My new lifestyle of exercise and eating healthy is now who I am. Working with LTS has aided in my ability to become stronger both mentally and physically. Most importantly, he believes in me. There's not a day that goes by that I turn down any chance to be challenged. It is those challenges that keep me motivated and keep me wondering what's next in line to conquer. Anyone that is questioning LTS don't hesitate to reach out to me! Thanks!!

Taking Covid seriously…read more I've been working out here for years. Everything you needs; squat racks (2!), treadmills, peleton bikes, pull-up bars, jump ropes, dumb bells, etc. With the new Washington state requirements, I appreciate how seriously this gym is exceeding the guidelines.

In addition to fairly new models of all the standard equipment, they also have a couple Peloton bikes - you can sign up for your own account but you don't have to pay anything extra to do classes on the bike, you just log in when you use it and log out when you're done. It's nice to be able to try it out or do rides occasionally without having to go all in on purchasing a bike! Management is easy to reach via email and have always been quick and responsive when I had questions. The building is easy to access with a code, and I didn't mind there not being any "onsite" staff. Parking on the street can be a little tricky since it's at a busy intersection, but I could usually find something a little further up the hill depending on time of day. So walking or public transit might be preferable for getting there. If you are going to be driving primarily, the street parking at the Beacon Hill location is easier in my opinion. Also note that while they do have 2 locations, a membership that gives you access to both gyms (dual membership) costs more than a membership to a single location. But switching our membership from one to the other was simple to do via email.

Unlike many larger gyms, there aren't a bunch of miscellaneous fees or unnecessary add-ons. One thing that really stands out is how well the gym is cared for. That's a reflection of both Chris and the members. Chris sets the tone by taking pride in the facility, and the people who work out there do the same.

No need for me to provide proof of new residency or even to show up in-person to cancel.

IH has upgraded its facilities significantly since I first joined and I'm excited for what's to come for them in the future!
