Starting with the service, It did take me a couple weeks to get a personal trainer but they did end up reaching back to me and now I work with a trainer. They have multiple there and although I have not met everyone, the ones I have are very nice. One drawback is it's kind of difficult to cancel the membership, you have to go in person and talk to someone about it. The quality of the machines are normal, it's definitely a cardio focused area but there are plenty of strength machines and a good amount of free weights. They also have nice locker rooms, showers, and restrooms! The atmosphere is more calm and mind your business on the slower hours but during busier hours less calm. It does seem to be busy most of the time but you can still find a machine. During rush hour it does get pretty difficult to find machines. Overall I would recommend if you need a gym!

I've never felt stronger and better about myself until now. If you're tired of the gym or whatever workout program you're struggling with, I HIGHLY recommend talking to Matt Ringstad and joining our crew at CFCK. Do you actually look forward to working out?

As a newly middle aged weekend warrior with a history of injury it was important to me that I partnered with trainers who would be very focused on form. I like to be pushed to continue meeting new goals, but I have no interest in bro-y, no pain no gain environments that lead to injury. Trailhead was everything I had been looking for and more. I got stronger than I'd ever been before and I was constantly encouraged to get out there and use the gains I'd earned in living a more adventurous and fulfilling life. The folks at Trailhead weren't only my trainers, they were my friends and they genuinely cared about my well-being and happiness. I've since left Bellingham and I miss my workout buddies. But I'm glad to know they're still there keeping the stoke alive and keeping people sweaty.

I've gone from zero workouts to doing full body workouts with progressive free weights and treadmill consistently. My arms are stronger. My arms/shoulders can do more.

Nicole is very knowledgeable with EDS and hypermobility and will happily adjust movements to work with you, not against you. If you're close to Bellingham and able to go visit Nicole, I encourage you to run, not walk. My weekly class was the highlight of my week. She brought me joy while helping with my awkward body.

She has her own space she uses to train her clients. It's amazing what she comes up with as routines and variety. I was not motivated to begin a workout on my own, so I knew I needed help. Finding Patti was a dream come true. She is very present to every different exercise. She changes things up so you get a good rounded workout based on your abilities and your goals. She is very patient and encouraging and she has a kind caring personality. If you want someone who will grind you into the dirt, she might not be the one for you. But if you want someone who really cares and someone who is careful you don't get injured but encourages you to do more than you would on your own, you should give her a try. I've been seeing her for a few weeks now and I am seeing the differences and feeling stronger and better about myself. I hope this was helpful.

I had done CrossFit in my late 20's/early 30's then took a break and did other types of exercise (running, hot yoga, traditional gym, Carolyn Gilvan YouTube workout programs)... 10 years and 2 kids later I was starting to feel old and out of shape at 41. I had a ski injury and my PT recommended CrossFit at another local gym. I visited that gym, felt super intimidated and did not join. A few years later a friend invited me to CrossFit X and from day 1 I felt so welcomed. For the first few months I did Cam Hashemi's classes only. He is an awesome coach!! And helped me get through the difficult stage of getting back to it. Now I am feeling stronger, happier, I have more energy, and my home life is improved. Yes, I have lost some weight (7lbs), but mostly I look and feel better. My husband was so inspired, he also joined. And our kids age 3 and 6) sometimes accompany us. The 9am class is my favorite, lots of inspiring moms. I hope you give this gym a try or drop by of a workout when in town.
