I love this place. Just finished a three-month trial period. Taking a break because I've got too much on my plate this month and I'm struggling with sleep deprivation, but I hope to be back as soon as I finish a major project at the end of the month. At the start of the year, I was looking to shed some holiday weight. I got in touch with Curt. He was super helpful and responsive. He listened to my circumstances and really worked with me to make membership possible. I've been working out 2-3 times per week with Jared, who is both a sweetheart and an ass-kicker! The workout are challenging, my muscles are always sore and the company is awesome. Seriously, I never realized the gym could be so fun. Ligot caps classes at 6 individuals. That intimate environment allows Jared to pay a lot of attention to each person. He's great at tailoring our workouts according to our skill level. As for the exercises, they work out the entire body. The flow and repetition will make you sweat. Lifts, squats, stretches, cardio -- there's a bit of everything in each workout. I always leave these sessions feeling awesome. I highly recommend Ligot Training Systems to people of all skill levels. These guys are all heart AND hard work. I'll be back. read more

Roundbox Fitness is simply AMAZING! Easily one of the best decisions I've made was quitting my old gym and joining the Roundbox movement. 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!! read more

So I had just moved to Seattle from sunny SoCal and found myself in a horrible rut that typically found 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!! read more

Once upon a time I was in great shape, could pump out pushups, deadlift, passed an FBI fitness test, and generally kicked ass. Then I started a business, work at least 12 hours a day, and decided to live on a credit account with my body, planning to repay the loan when there was "more time" in my days. Well, fast forward a few years and I found myself way over my credit limit with nowhere else to borrow from physically. I gained weight, lost all the muscle I had worked hard to build, and now that I am in my 40s, it does not fall off as soon as I decide I want to move around again. Enter Curt and Roundbox. Easily one of the best decisions i have made was restarting my fitness journey here. I actually look forward to my workouts. They are efficient and effective. I always leave feeling great. When I fall off the wagon, Curt gets me back on. The Roundbox workouts are fun, challenging, and do not hurt me the way other movements, kettlebells, etc. have. Highly recommend checking out Roundbox. I know this is where I need to be to get myself back where I want to be. Maybe it is where you need to be, too. read more

Roundbox is an amazing gym with super fun workouts and machines! The exercises that Curt teaches are really dynamic so they help strengthen a range of muscles. It's smaller compared to the gym franchises around Washington, but his class sizes are small so it feels spacious. Plus, you're using his own designed equipment and they're fun to use! I'd definitely recommend Roundbox if you're looking for something more unique and fresh in your workouts. read more

Having done various exercise programs in the past - power lifting, body building, progressive calisthenics etc I thought I knew what I was doing . . . what Curt knows and has been able to train me on has flipped my whole idea of fitness and athletic performance upside down. The idea of being powerful and moving with fluidity, speed and power has not only made my body move like I am 10 years younger, but is also the most fun and engaging workouts I've ever done! Yes, the workouts can be tough and you will sweat and work, but you will look forward to each workout. And you can forget about therapy sessions, there is nothing better than throwing stuff around. If you are reading this review, my recommendation is to stop and contact Curt now because you won't regret it. Taylor Clouse Nutrition Expert read more

I saw a post from LTS on facebook.. It asked if you were tired, and not happy with your level of fitness. I wasn't. I am a fairly athletic guy, but am almost always injured in some way shape or form. I have a disc problem in the lower back, torn meniscus 2 yrs ago, several broken collar bones.. I ski, mtn bike, dirt bikes, street/track motorcycles etc.. I have missed many sessions/seasons with injuries. I've been through lots of PT, and rehab for stuff.. Needless to say, I'm very picky, and sometimes skeptical of various rehab, training techniques. I have a hard time with off the shelf workout routines (pilates, yoga, crossfit, powerlifting) because inevitably something tweaks out.. and I loose momentum. I started at LTS 9 months ago.. In the first few weeks I could tell my progress would only be hampered by my own level of effort. Curt and Jared were able to assess all the problem areas and design custom workouts that blasted pretty much my whole body. Once I got through the first 6 weeks, I was hooked. To make things harder on the guys, I re-tore my meniscus this summer playing softball. I missed maybe 3 workouts. Again, my entire series was changed and I was able to keep progressing while healing??! It took 6-8 weeks but the approach was to isolate an minimise any work to that area at first.. then slowly add little strength exercises back in. I was back on a dirt bike 6 weeks after.. I was (minus a new MRI) back up and running in 8 weeks. Now at 10 months out I am down 25lbs and my core is stronger than it has been in the last 10 years! I can't really get enough. Every time I think I get comfortable with a series of sets, they change it up. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Go talk to curt, it will change your life. read more

Curt and Jared are nothing short of amazing. The programs that they tailor to their clients (both on-site and remotely) are full-body engaging tune-ups. You can even gain dietary advice and develop better habit in that arena as well. Just what the doctor ordered! It's great to experience a routine where you can push yourself as hard as you like, or are capable of, all while the routines' specifics evolve over time and continue to up your game. I have been thoroughly impressed with the effectiveness of the Ligot Training System program. I would highly encourage you to give it a shot if you are looking for a dynamic and complete fitness plan that provides results that you will notice and be proud of. read more

Roundbox is seriously effective. I was hurting from kettlebells and CrossFit and Curt's program has me building muscle without pain. And Curt's created a super friendly, inclusive, positive environment. Nothing to be intimidated about. I found the location super since Beacon Hill is lacking these types of fitness options. Check it out if you want something that works for fitness, weight loss or building muscle. read more

I have been working out at Ligot Training for the past 6 weeks and have seen a big change in my overall fitness and health. With only 2 workouts a week I have dropped 15 lbs without changing my diet. Also we do no running, no treadmills and no bikes. Love it! Some of the movements are little different but they work! In my former life I played college football and had several major shoulder injuries that have slowed me down from working out. I would always tweak my shoulders and it would kill my momentum. With Curt and Jared they have kept me safe and my shoulders happy. With their skill and patience I have been able to stay setback free and increase my upper body strength. My core and lower body strength has increased a lot as well. I love getting my work in here. They know when to push and when to hold you back. Its a great environment and a great value. Good people and great results! If you are looking for a way to get strong and fit and want to stay healthy you have to give this a try. read more

Great place. New and exciting workout technique. Owned by an individual and not a corporation.

So.....I've just celebrated my two year anniversary of training with Curt Ligot, first at my gym and then at his own facility on Beacon Hill which he opened last August. Curt's workouts are unique and unexpected.....there are no bench presses or sit ups or curls......each of his exercises focuses on the whole body and the movement of the whole body and, as a result, each exercise strengthens and stretches multiple muscle groups at once. Each time I leave Ligot Training Systems, I feel awesome and strong and powerful and I've been told that I look pretty good.....and not just for a 46 year old! After my first few months, I was looking at myself in the mirror and I turned to my husband, concerned, "what is this weird divot on my side?" I asked. He pointed out that I had one on the other side of my body too......not a six-pack yet, but the first indication that one exists somewhere under the layers. I've worked out with many trainers over the years, but only Curt was able to unearth my two-pack :) read more

I witnessed a friend transform his body over a couple of months and wondered what his 'secret' was ...turns out he was a client of Curt Ligot. I have always put effort into working out to stay in shape...running, hot yoga, pilates, barre, but I hit a plateau and was just maintaining my body weight. I was not meeting my fitness goals, getting stronger, losing weight or more toned anymore. With Curt Ligot's Training System, I have overcome the plateau and am watching my body become leaner, firmer, stronger and I have so much more energy. His workouts are comprised of circuits that incorporate multiple muscles and flowing motions into each exercise. Lots of stretching, core work and high intensity cardio. The exercise technique is easy to learn and I find myself dripping sweat and just really getting a good, productive session in. Ligot's Training System is so good for my body. Within 6 weeks, I lost 10 pounds and 4 dress sizes, incredible results. I see Curt and/or Jared twice a week. I also run a couple times a week and have been watching my diet, but Ligot's method is definitely the game changer. Joining this gym has seriously taken my fitness to the next level. After a workout, I have so much energy and feel like my body is healthier now than when I was in my 20's. I could go on and on about this experience. I'm looking forward to reaching my fitness goals and I know I will reach them here! read more

Did a 6 week training program with Curt. He was awesome! He is fun to work out with, and I believe that he developed the workouts himself. It's not like other places where the trainers just go through the motions. He always followed up after workouts to make sure my body was in the right place, before we moved on to different things which I thought was a nice touch. The things he has you do is functional type exercise that helps your body feel good through long workdays etc. So you probably won't be doing bicep curls or bench presses when you work out with him. I will definitely go back! read more

Just starting out after finding their ad on facebook. Enjoying the stretching with full body exercise that gets my heart pumping. The one on one attention to make sure my forms are correct makes the big difference! read more

I can't express how grateful I am that I was introduced to this program. A debilitating shoulder injury of 15 years: successfully rehabilitated. I'm stronger, faster, and more coordinated after six weeks than you could imagine after such a short time. As an EMT, I rely on my athleticism to keep myself and others safe. As a lady who likes big butts, I need a program that builds ass like no tomorrow. There's also a strong sense of community among the members here. What I'm saying is, show up. You'll get everything you need and more from the amazing trainers here. read more

I have been training at Ligot Training Systems for 18 months. Before that I tried several gyms and worked out with several trainers but, never felt like I was learning or gaining anything. A friend of mine invited me to try Ligot Systems and I was hooked immediately, the trainers are knowledgeable and very friendly and they make sure to create a workout that fits your needs. I had bad knees due to my years of playing competitive sports and usually that was the reason I will stop working out, but now my knees feel better than ever and working out is always fun. I never thought that I will have so much fun working out or that I will look forward to my next training day! So not only the pain in my knees is gone, I lost over 25 lbs and I'm stronger and faster than before but I have FUN!!!! read more

Curt is quite the innovator !! He has put his own unique spin on cross fit but so much better. His training system is easier on the joints but packs one heck of a work out. Small classes so it's not so stressful and he gives you individual attention. He is fun yet professional. What an awesome place !!!! read more

Ligot Training has created a short but intense workout that focuses on increasing flexibility, endurance and core strength. You are not competing against anyone or timed so you can focus instead on proper form. There is no running, doing traditional free weights, or sitting on bike. After just six sessions I have lost ten pounds and I have increased my flexibility. The atmosphere is laid back, intimate and jovial. There tends to be only three our four people there at any given time and everyone is very supportive. The system works with all body types, fitness levels and especially works well with people who have been prone to injury. read more

Curt worked miracles for me. I am a life long Seattle runner that loves to run. It is one of my passions and is my favorite mental and physical reward at the end of a long productive day at work. This past spring I somehow managed to hurt my lower back and was not able to run. Every day went by, each week that went by, I desperately hoped that one day I would wake up and I would be healed and back to 100%. I tried massage, I stretched a bit, however that was painful so I decided at least i could still walk and ride my bike...however it is never the same workout and release as my runs. My boyfriend recommended I see Curt. He trained with Curt at the Seattle Athletic Club and at Ligot Training Systems. He convinced me that in talking to Curt about my injury, Curt would get me back on the trail running, however, he couldn't promise how long that might take. I figured since nothing else that I was doing on my own was working I may as well give Curt a shot. Within 3 weeks of training twice a week with Curt, I was back on the trail- running! Although I wasnt able to run as much mileage and pain free, I was back up and on the trail, able to run. I trained with Curt for 6 weeks total, twice a week, and know that he is the reason I am able to run again. My lower back pain started in April and I started seeing Curt in mid August. It was the most painful injury I've ever experienced and the longest time an injury has kept me from running. I couldn't even jog across the street if I needed to, and my lower back pain woud keep me up at night. It was just under 4 months when Curt had me back on the trail. I have been going back into my runs slow and easy and what I noticed made the biggest difference were all of Curt's machines and band exercises. Working with the band exercses is a completely different stretch that opened up my hips like no other stretches. Curt had me doing many different squat exercises with his equipment that helped build strength in my glutes, hips, and leg muscles,, like no other machines or exercises were able to accomplish. I am most grateful that my boyfriend found my cure, and hope that anyone that experiences a sport injury will give Curt a shot. He was my miracle worker and made all the difference in getting me back on my happy feet and running! read more
