I can't say enough good things about training with Rollie Williams! From day one, he made me feel…read morewelcome, capable, and motivated--even on days when I came in feeling tired or unmotivated. Rollie has a gift for tailoring every workout to my specific goals and abilities, and he always knows when to push me just enough without ever making me feel overwhelmed. What I appreciate most is how much attention he pays to proper form and injury prevention. I've noticed huge improvements not just in my strength and endurance, but also in my confidence at the gym. He's also incredibly encouraging, with the perfect mix of professionalism and humor that keeps every session fun. Oh--and did I mention he's an amazing dancer? Honestly, it's a crime he hasn't been cast in Magic Mike. What a waste of talent! If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares, knows his stuff, and makes you look forward to working out, Rollie is the one. I feel stronger, healthier, and more energized than I have in years--and that's 100% thanks to him.

When I first was looking for a gym in the Queen Anne area, I wanted something a little flashier…read more But multiple visits landed me right here, and I'm so glad it did! AF is a solid neighborhood gym. Plenty of equipment, clean, free parking (!!!), and friendly management. I was really impressed that Chris read and responded to my survey feedback; he really does want this place to meet clients needs. On top of that, the price is right; it really is one of the best values around. There aren't any classes, if that's your jam, but there is a free session with the trainers to help you build a 30 day plan. I'm really happy here. Thanks Chris!

I've had a really good experience at Transform180. I train with Stirling twice a week and he's…read moregreat -- knowledgeable, pays attention to form, and makes workouts feel productive without being over the top. As is usually the case, buying more sessions lowers the price per session. The gym can get a little busy at times during the after work hours, but it's never been a real issue.

Alexy, Daniel, Galen and Nate are incredibly welcoming as someone new to gym classes. I never once felt pressured or awkward. They made the environment, comfortable, and motivating, and their advice and guidance are truly superb. I trained personally with Nate and we clicked right away. He really understood my goals and supported me every step of the way to help me turn them into reality. From proper form and effective exercises to nutrition guidance, they cover everything you need. This is definitely the best place whether you're a beginner or simply looking for a consistent friendly trainer to a healthy and stunning physique.

I tried the jumpstart trial membership and later signed up for a full membership and had a great…read moreexperience with them! I started going to the gym (another gym) earlier this year but I didn't know what I was doing and would just go around the gym trying different machines. Then I switched to pro fit and saw results immediately. I saw more progress in one month with pro fit than the previous 3-4 months at the other gym! And I'm not even exaggerating. I love that they would put up a workout on the board for me each time I come in and would try to squeeze me in when I couldn't make my usual time. Everyone was really friendly and would greet me each time I went in, and I was pleasantly surprised that all the trainers learned my name. I worked mostly with Chris and he was amazing! I I remember I could not run for more than 2 miles comfortably right before joining pro fit, and three months after, I can comfortably run 6-7 miles and broke my personal record again and again without intentionally trying to improve my running stats. I'm training for a half marathon, and that to me three months ago was unimaginable. They also have a body scale that breaks down your muscle mass and fat mass by arms/legs/etc, which has been really helpful in tracking progress. I had the silver package for three months and they are not cheap. But I'm still very glad that I tried them out and imo it was a small price to pay to get into better shape and more importantly develop habits that will help me with my workouts in the future!! 100/10 would recommend - I wish I could give them more than 5 stars

I signed up for the Jumpstart package and really enjoyed the personal training. It was personalized…read moreand the instructors are very focused on you as an individual. I also really liked the solo workouts because they give you a routine to follow which is much more motivating than simply coming for open gym. I am very cautious about COVID19 and felt they did a good job of limiting the number of people in the gym, creating "zones", and having lots of cleaner/sanitizer around. The instructors wear a mask the whole time, and it's optional for the students. I highly recommend this gym!

One of my favorite gyms in Seattle :)…read more It has got a good amount of equipment (cardio, racks, a turf area, and even a yoga room!), is clean, and has wonderful amenities (showers, locker room, and a sauna!) They also have classes. It doesn't have the corporate, overcrowded, poorly maintained, corporate gym feel (yet). It is also in a central area (SLU) if you are looking to grab brunch or lunch from somewhere nearby. I can see it getting crowded on the weekdays as it's close to so many offices, but I have only been on the weekend where it isn't very crowded.

In 7 weeks, once a week, I nearly doubled my squat weight -- up to 95 lbs! Aldo has a great energy and has been wonderful at keeping me motivated. I look forward to many more strength camp classes with Aldo! As for the gym as a whole, it has great amenities including showers and a dry sauna. The machines are in good shape and there's a variety of machines available. In addition, there are many great classes offered.

Easily the best gym in Seattle I've been to!…read more There's a reason why you'll see everyone from athletes & body builders, to people at the very beginning of their fitness journey at Henry's; and it's because the Staff, environment, quality and availability of equipment is unmatched. Need help achieving your goals? Great, they've got amazing trainers, each with many years of experience and the success stories to back it up. They'll streamline your fitness journey for you and with you --step by step. More of a get in, work out, get out person? Cool, they've got all the equipment you'll need and it's always well maintained. Want more of a community experience? I've never seen someone walk in and not be greeted by name and spoken to genuinely. Everyone I've encountered at Henry's, both staff and patron has been kind and welcoming. It's difficult to find an affordable spot in a city as good as this one, and it's the first gym in a long time I've had zero complaints about. Great place to get strong!

If you are thinking about joining Henry's Gym, make sure to read all the fine print in the…read morecontract! Once you sign, there is a grace period of 3-ish days to cancel, after that -- you're locked down for 12 months! I'm not sure how the contract is legal as it seems morally and ethically corrupt. After a weird situation with another member -- a guy tried to pursue me and I found out he was in a relationship -- I wanted to cancel my membership but after rereading the contract, I decided to change the time I went to the gym instead. I managed to successfully avoid the weird guy until the end of my contract and during that time, I began noticing other issues at Henry's gym. Here are a few of my observations: 1. Very quick turn around in the front desk team. This is always a sign that a place is badly managed and cares for profit above all else. In the year that I was a member, I saw the entire front desk team change multiple times. Made me sad to see people lose their spark working there. 2. Overpriced memberships for nonexistent amenities. The "basic" membership is around $100-$-110 and since they took away the towel service, the only "amenity" is the keypad lockers. All the amenities offered are exclusively for the more expensive memberships. Initially, I was willing to pay a little extra to support a local business and foster community in my life. However, over time I saw that this "community" was male centered. 3. Unhygienic male members. While the crowd of members are diverse in gender, age, race and body type and typically do wipe down the machines, a majority of the male members do not. Generally speaking, the typical "gym bros" that go there are unhygienic and self centered when occupying space in the gym. There have been a couple times when I've seen men so sweaty that it looks like they've peed their pants! It's so unhinged it's laughable! 4. Henry's does offer a variety of machines, weights, equipment, etc. That being said, the mats used for stretching or ab exercises are falling apart. I mentioned this when I cancelled my membership and the manager said new ones are on the way however, I didn't see them before the end of the last month of my membership. Not sure what the truth is there but I used the mats frequently to stretch after cardio and again, a majority of the mats were falling apart as well as not many people wiped them down. 5. The "art" around the gym is superficial and some of it really pushes the lines of cultural appropriation. If you actually read the quotes and look at the photos, it's all over the place and lacks a cohesive aesthetic. It didn't really bother me, just reminded me of ClipArt. Another one of the reasons I joined initially was for the lack of fluorescent lighting. That'll be the one thing I'll miss from Henry's gym, the lighting. Overall, I think Henry's has the potential to be a really cool gym but as it stands today, it's a flop in my eyes.

Very solid gym if you know what you're doing. The gym isn't as cramped as others because there…read morearen't a lot of machines compared to other places. However, most of the machines at this gym have more than one mode (i.e. Different workouts). There's a lot of place to do some cross fit stuff if that's what you're into. Guest pass costs $10/day. I like going to this gym because it's open 24/7 so I can come in whenever I want. Most gyms in the Seattle area close by the time I want to start a workout. I don't like to rush a workout so being opened 24/7 is a plus. Membership is capped at around ~500 members and it's never super busy compared to an la fitness or 24hr. At most, I've waited 5 minute for a bench or squat rack. However, if you're a beginner this gym might not be right for you. If you do like this gym, I suggest getting a personal trainer. I don't have one but they seem really helpful towards their Cilent and I can see a difference. Plus -huge space -open 24/7 -relatively new equipment -capped membership; not super busy during rush hour -certain classes are free Not so great -limited equipment selection -not the best place for a beginner

I worked at this gym for over two years until recently, when I was informed by text message that I…read morewas no longer needed. After dedicating so much time and effort to helping run this gym, I felt I deserved at least the courtesy of a phone call from the owner, Omar Acosta, rather than having another employee deliver the message. The explanation given was that the gym was losing members and that there had been email complaints about me. Also that the owner had decided to sell the business. In my experience, those claims do not reflect the dedication and work ethic I consistently brought to this gym. I regularly went above and beyond my responsibilities, including spending my own money on cleaning supplies and doing everything possible to help maintain the facility and support members. Unfortunately, my experience with ownership was disappointing. Communication from the owner was typically negative, critical, or accusatory, with little support provided to staff. The overall environment often felt more focused on cutting costs than improving the experience for members or employees. I also believe the gym's advertising is misleading. Many of the services and amenities promoted are either unavailable or poorly maintained. There is no trainer, no yoga classes, the mats are worn and difficult to keep sanitary, and several pieces of equipment and benches are outdated and in need of replacement. I care deeply about the fitness community and the people who work hard to maintain a positive gym environment, which is why I feel obligated to share my honest experience. There are several other gyms in the area with updated equipment, and owners who are more engaged with and supportive of both their staff and members. This owner has even fallen out with the building management on several occasions because of unreasonable and entitled requests and expectations. I hope ownership takes these concerns seriously and makes meaningful improvements moving forward.

POV: my trainer was based her for a couple of years so visited NW strong more than my home gym but…read morewas never a member here. NW strong is a great option for a no-frills weight-lifting focused gym in Belltown. This place is stacked to the brim with equipment. There are as many squat racks as you can fit in a space like this (9?) and about a dozen benches and tons of options for dumbbells and kettlebells. More than you will see in many much larger gyms. There are also other kinds of equipment like air bike, rower, ski erg, treadmill, bands, sled, TRX straps, and I'm sure some things I'm forgetting. It's a compact footprint and Trevor has done an outstanding job efficiently equipping it to the max. The trainers I've observed here have all be high quality with their own unique style. There is also more of a community here than I think you get with some of the bigger gyms around. From a female perspective I will say that the clientele here is mostly men. There have been many times where the gym was packed and I was the only female present. That said, people here are nice, and respectful overall and it's a good spot to work out. If I lived closer, I'd consider being a member here. I would say the two downsides that may or may not impact you personally are that there is no locker room or shower to speak of (typical commercial building bathrooms shared by multiple tenants in the building) and the space would benefit from a few fans or stronger AC. This is fine 10 months of the year but it can get very stuffy and humid in the hottest days of the summer.

READ ME 1. Trever,…read morethe owner, is very responsive and kind. 2. The gym is very clean, especially since Trever uses meyers cleaning solutions (smells great!). 3.

NorthWest Strong, especially Trever, were very welcoming and accommodating when it came to having us train to prep for our powerlifting meets. If I ever come to Seattle again this would be our "go-to" gym for training. Thank you Trever and NorthWest Strong for having us .
