Hey all to folks anywhere near Mt Baker: I want to recommend a longtime personal trainer in the…read morestrongest terms: Keegan Thorpe. I met him just before COVID hit and he literally kept me sane during that long period. For two years, twice a week, he dragged his weights and other gear to Jimi Hendrix Park so we could work out outside. Since then we've moved to the brand new gym at the corner of McClellan and ML King but his approach has never changed. He always checks my status before every workout (I am older) and adjusts the routine based on how I am feeling. Every workout is different and he pays intense attention, coaching me constantly on form and counting out the reps for me. He even sanitizes equipment and surfaces as we go! He is very knowledgeable about physical therapy and muscular issues. Plus he is super flexible on time changes and cancellations...and finally he is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. My wife started going with me a year after I started and she loves him too. We are both moving abroad and losing Keegan will be one of the things we will miss the most. Please check him out. He is the best! ishifitness@gmail.com 206 250 7509

His friendly, encouraging and goal focused approach has been a huge help in my ability to stick with an exercise plan. He has identified the kinds of workouts that challenge me, and introduced me to exercises that I actually find to be fun. When I hurt my wrist a while back, Keegan was a great source for stretches and other recovery techniques that complimented my doctor's advice. He's very knowledgeable about fitness and is quite the movie buff as well. I recommend him to anyone who wants to get the most out of their exercise time and needs a little help coming back to the gym.

If you're looking for a fitness environment that balances high-level expertise with a welcoming…read morecommunity atmosphere, I highly recommend Full Spectrum Training. Owned and operated by Quentin Burns, this facility stands out because it bridges the gap between elite athletic preparation and everyday fitness. Here is why Full Spectrum is a game-changer: Why Choose Full Spectrum Training? Elite Expertise: Quentin brings a deep background in sports performance training. He understands the mechanics of movement, which means your workouts aren't just about "sweating"--they are designed to make you stronger, more agile, and less prone to injury. Inclusivity at Its Core: Despite the high-performance pedigree, this is truly a place for everyone. Whether you are a competitive athlete, a busy professional, or someone just starting your fitness journey, the environment is supportive and ego-free. Personalized Approach: You aren't just a number here. Because of the "full spectrum" philosophy, the training is adapted to meet you exactly where you are physically while pushing you toward your specific goals. The Atmosphere: There is a palpable energy at the gym that makes you want to show up. Quentin has built a culture of hard work and mutual respect that is hard to find elsewhere. The Verdict Full Spectrum Training is the perfect fit for anyone who wants results-driven coaching without the intimidation factor of a typical "hardcore" gym. Quentin's ability to translate complex sports science into accessible, effective workouts for the general public is what makes this place special.

My husband and I recommend Full Spectrum for several reasons. One of the key reasons is the owner,…read moreQuentin Burns, and his thoughtful approach to training us as seniors. Both of us have had trainers since 2014. We have endured injuries when the trainers were more focused on their goals versus our physical goals. Quentin always listens to us and modifies the training accordingly. He treats all gym members like family. You can tell that he is respected and trusted because most gym members, if not all, have been with the club for 10 plus years. His pricing is very competitive and family friendly. A few of the other attributes of Full Spectrum is it's clean, COVID compliant and there's plenty of safe parking at its location. Quentin is always on time and consistently upbeat, professional, funny and determined to make you stronger and healthier. Quentin trains with a full understanding of anatomy and physiology. We started with Full Spectrum at the beginning of the year and are already seeing positive results. We highly recommend Full Spectrum to anyone who wants a great partner to assist them on their personal journey.

My physical therapist referred me to Candice to get me back into strength training after I broke my…read moreknee. I have been seeing Candice for one-on-one trainings and group workouts (with both Candice and JR) for four months now, and I'm so thankful to be here. Rosefit is not your typical personal training outfit. This is not a HIIT gym. There is no built-in competition (though we do like to rib each other). You will not be encouraged to do reps as fast as possible; instead, proper form and how the movement feels for your body is most important. Candice and JR highly value making workouts accessible and (dare I say) fun. They are both quick with modifications if necessary, and have a million different ways to work with or around an injury or any discomfort. Rosefit is appropriate for any age and any physical ability. You will find no deadlifts here, because they aren't necessary. Fascial release and stretching are built into the workouts and trainings. I will also add that this is a friendly and safe space for gender non-conforming individuals - do note, however, that the building's bathrooms are needlessly gendered. (I have started to petition Candice to harass the building owners into changing this.)
