Well I'll be damn! I'd never thought I would appreciate a nice studio as much as I did this one…read more The place is well laid out with unique art pieces and a hip vibe. The studio can host up to 21 people with plenty of room to get your sweat on. The bathroom facilities are very clean and zen! They have tons of equipment options and everything was really clean. The classes I took (Saturday and Sunday morning) were both hard and enjoyable. A great way to start my day and kick my almost toned butt. The instructors were knowledgeable and were able to assist me with my existing injuries. I will absolutely come back here and pay to get my butt kicked!!

I attend multiple classes a week (for the last several years) and…read morealways walk out feeling stronger, less stiff/achy, energized, and so glad I came - especially after a long day of sitting and staring at a computer screen. The studio has 6 reformers for group sessions and the instructors are amazing - very knowledgeable, focused-programs, individual attention (even in a group session), encouraging, positive feedback, and overall good vibes. The clients are also very welcoming and friendly, representing every age-group and level of skill. I highly recommend West Seattle Pilates and, if you're new to Pilates, this is a great, welcoming and warm studio to get your routine going. **Bonus - local, woman-owned business (the owner is awesome and teaches the morning classes) and there's usually plenty of free on/off street parking.

I've taken classes with at least 6 different instructors and all create a welcoming, not intimidating, environment. This was the first studio where I took reformer classes in earnest, I'd only taken an intro many years ago and otherwise mat classes many years before, and I've found West Seattle Pilates to be a great environment in which to learn. Highly recommend!

I love this little Pioneer Square Pilates studio so much that I now have an unlimited monthly pass…read moreto their mat classes and finally decided to join a co-working office that's a few blocks away. I started with one mat class pass at the end of July and really enjoyed that first class, so I decided to get the monthly pass for August... and then I decided to get another one for September. I love that the mat classes are at noon twice a week and that they just added an evening class and a weekend class. I will probably never make it to the Saturday class because I don't live in Pioneer Square, but the other days are perfect. Two lunch-time classes a week and one after-work class! I don't have any experience with the apparatus classes or private classes, but the group mat classes are great and I love the ladies who usually teach them (Christi and Whitney). There are usually 3-6 students present and the instructor always does a great job helping/adjusting anyone who is struggling with anything. Sometimes, they have two instructors present so one can focus on leading the class and the other can walk around the room and help the students. I also like that sometimes we just use the mats and our bodies and other times we also use small weights or the Pilates Ring or other things. All of the equipment is available at the studio, so you just have to bring yourself and some socks. The other pretty cool thing is they work on different parts of your body each time and while there are many standard exercises, it seems like we do something new each time. I've actually been "getting aware" of muscles I never knew about because it seems like a new muscle is sore after each class. They have a space for your belongings and two changing rooms, but no shower in the studio. The bathroom that's shared with the other businesses on the third floor (or is that the second floor bathroom? I'll have to check!) does have a shower, but I have never tried using it. Most people just get dressed quickly and go back to work. Love, love, love. Can't wait to take another class!

After having a not so positive experience at a pilates studio in NYC, I swore to myself that I…read morewould never again walk into another pilates studio. I decided it was time to give it another shot after hearing from a friend about her experience at Kinesia. After attending a few Apparatus Fundamentals classes, I can now say I am a fan of pilates. I have only had Chrystl as an instructor and I enjoy her classes. She uses great verbal cues and will hands on correct you when needed. The apparatus fundamentals class will go over the basics of using the reformer, wall units and other props. I have been working on improving my posture and strengthening my shoulders/upper back due to the joys of working at a desk. This class, with Chrystl's guidance, has helped me improve and reorient myself with those muscles. Apparatus Fundamentals is a wonderful class to those new to pilates or for those who want to refine their technique. I may try their other classes one day but I really enjoy this specific class.

They offer HIIT classes, yoga, olympic weightlifting, and strongman. It's also great to have open gym all day where you can do extra work or your own programming.

Highly recommend!

Mind + Body Studio is right in our neighborhood, so we thought what better than test it out. We walked into the first class and I thought to myself, "meh, I got this..." and little did I know I was going to get my butt whopped! I was sore for a week. Great, great work out! Dana has done an amazing job creating a unique approach to pilates that feels more genuine and less Lululemon. He sets most of the classes up with circuits including many different stations where you are constantly moving and working a different part of the body. He has all the fancy reformers, but also incorporates any other great tool to work your body. He is also extremely attentive and very good about correcting bad postures or sloppy efforts. If you are looking for a way to get a deep exercise that can help with postural issues, back issues, or honestly just get a great work out - check out mind + body!

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!!

I attended the RetroFit classes at GymSmithy for about 10 months. I then moved away from Seattle,…read moreand GymSmithy is one of the places I miss most. The Retrofit class is great - in my case, it was the perfect regimen to build up a baseline of strength after coming out of a fairly sedentary period in my life. Travis, the owner, cultivates an energetic, welcoming, disciplined environment. You'll quickly see that the classes are full of regulars - folks stick with GymSmithy because it's a supportive and effective setting that really feels like a community. I joined with the goal of establishing a physical exercise routine, which I did, but ultimately kept coming because of the profound positive effect the classes and community had on my mental health. If you leave nearby in Seattle and are looking for a place to invest in both your body and mind, I'd highly recommend GymSmithy.

This is hands down the best use of my time and money for fitness classes. Each day's workout works the entire body in a balanced way and provides fitness that builds rather than destroys one's body. The exercises are structured so that you can choose your intensity; there is never pressure to do more than you can safely do. I can feel confident that after a Retrofit class I am stronger and less prone to injury in my normal life. There is no body shaming or pressure to look a certain way. The pricing is great, and there's no hidden fees or confusing contracts. No annual fee, processing fee, initiation fees, or equipment fees like big box gyms charge. Here you pay for the class, you take the class. The owner, Travis, gives great personal attention and feedback during classes, and keeps things entertaining so classes are fun instead of a chore. After working out at GymSmithy I'm always looking forward to my next opportunity to come back.
