I used the X Gym many years ago when they used ti be in downtown Kirkland. It used ti be 20 minutes a day for 2 or 3 days a week ?? I forgot. But I think it was a twice a week ?? Let me tell you that I have never experienced such pain in my life. I am talking about the good workout pain. I laughed when I was tiki about the 20 minutes workout sessions when I was spending 2 hours workout five days a week at the gym. I will never forget the pain that lasted days after each 20 minutes workout. I had days where I can't even walk to my car. However the results were amazing. Results started to show up only after two months. It's a great system if you want to stay ok great shape and save time. The only issue I had was parking. It was so difficult ti find parking on the old location which became very stressful process but the actual program works and worth the money. read more

This gym is a game changer for people who think they "don't have time" to work out. The 21-minute sessions are perfectly designed for busy professionals, and they're far more effective than I expected. Every session feels efficient and targeted, and the trainers make sure your form and progress are carefully monitored. I also love the boutique-style environment--it's modern, well-kept, and never overcrowded. I finally found a place that makes staying fit realistic and enjoyable. read more

I got my blood work back today and wow! After years of tango dancing and aerial hooping not much change. I started working out at XGYM, alittle less than 30 minutes a day on 1/27/25 and today 3/22/25 / my blood work day, and wow! all numbers, including LDL, cholesterol, HDL, Triglycerides are down! Lower than all results show in my my hart since 2011! PJ is knowledgeable, helpful, kind and has a huge amount of resources to promote personal growth. The personal and group trainers are excellent! If you have to get those numbers down, have fun while feeling the burn Pj's fitness methodology works! Do it for your body and mind. read more

There's no gym on the planet like Xgym. PJ and his trainers are the best in the business. I'm a triathlete and spend a lot of time swimming, biking and running. I need my strength training to be as time efficient and effective as possible. 21 minutes twice a week gets the job done better than multiple hour long strength training sessions anywhere else. And I'll tell you what- nobody matches the muscular endurance I've built using PJ's protocols at Xgym over the years! read more

At minimum the guy at the door could have said- "how can I help you? I am with a client? ". But instead he opened the door and yelled immediately " you can not knock on the door! This is a member only gym!" I then spoke to the owner and he was equally harsh and blaming - for what?? Signing up for a class and showing up early ? read more

XGym is like no other gym and that's a good thing. With the emphasis on getting the maximum workout in the least amount of time, my time in the gym goes quickly. I'm learning new concepts that are not only helping me achieve my goals, I'm also training my brain. In fact, the brain training feels harder than working to complete muscle fatigue. All of the trainers are trained in XGym's unique approach. Unlike a traditional client/trainer relationship, I don't have a set trainer, but my trainer changes based on the time of my bookings. All the trainers are trained in the XGym way, but each brings their unique style to my weekly work outs. Brian Boldt squeezes the most out of me with his high energy approach along with his belief I can do more than I think. The brainchild behind XGym is PJ Glassey and he offers tons of resources to achieving optimal health. XGym is the BE read more

X Gym is such a fantastic gym and way to work out. This gym has a totally different approach from typical gyms. They offer classes throughout the day and evening, the facility is so clean, the instructors are awesome, and best of all- it's just a 21 minute workout. Those 21 minutes are no joke- there is no time wasted. That said- individuals of all fitness levels are able to benefit from the class format and exercises. The age range in many of my classes is mid-twenties all the way to individuals in their early 80s. You will get stronger and improve your flexibility, balance, and endurance with X Gym. The owner, PJ is awesome and has created such a supportive community with his gym. Check this place out- there is no gym like it! read more

Working out has always been a big part of my life. I've spent an enormous number of hours in the gym over the years to stay in shape and sculpt my body. My experience with XGym honestly makes me feel like I wasted so much time and energy. Working with my trainer has been amazing. She and I had a lot of communication about my goals and even some limitations then she designed workouts specifically for me. I'm not able to come into the gym since I don't live in the area but the online coaching she's given me has been mind-blowing. The sessions are much shorter than I was used to but intense. The results I've gotten in a short time have been better than I've achieved in twice the time doing other workouts. The gym, the people and what they do get my highest recommendation. BTW, I don't normally write reviews, so this is huge for me! Anita S read more

I just turned 67 last month and feel the best I've felt in a long time! The reason for this is The XGym and their trainers! 20 years ago, at the age of 47, I had the pleasure of experiencing double HIP replacements. At that time I never thought I'd be able to get in shape again. That was my excuse until I started working out a year ago with the incredible trainers at XGym. Is it really possible to be in shape by only spending 21 minutes twice a week? Absolutely!!!! Try them and You'll be addicted like I am! Love you XGym! read more

X Gym - Down 55 pounds and in Great shape thanks to XGym! - Trainers Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I've been strength training consistently for about 10 years now - at least 3x a week, but often more unless I'm sick or injured. In that time I've tried many different modalities: Crossfit, calisthenics, bodybuilding-style splits, Stronglifts 5x5, Strongfirst kettlebell training, and many others. I've worked with many personal trainers (most of whom were great), as well as working out on my own in that time. While those methods have kept me generally healthy, I didn't get nearly the strength, muscle, or general athletic gains that I was promised. In 10 years of consistent training with those modalities, I gained a very minimal amount of muscle, and have a much lower strength and aerobic capacity than anyone would expect with the amount of effort put in. All of this has started to change since I started training at X Gym. While I've only been going for about 3 weeks now, my aerobic capacity has greatly increased, my strength is much higher than it ever has been, and I have a much greater capacity of pushing through fatigue than ever before. I also train in Jiu Jitsu, and the unique style of training that X Gym offers has helped me greatly there, too. Even though I'm healthy, eat well, and work out regularly, I was always the first person in class to run out of breath. The people who didn't even exercise outside of class had infinitely higher stamina than I did, which always confused me. But now, that's no longer the case (again, in only 3 weeks of 2x a week sessions). I have much higher stamina, force generation, and ability to tolerate discomfort during rolls. I can't wait to see where this training leads me in the future. I'm hooked! read more

I've been going to Club Pilates for about 5 years. I absolutely love it. It is such a good workout, strength builder, as well as good for maintaining balance. I find that if I can't do Pilates for a week or two, my body feels more achey and stiff. I think Pilates is one of the best things you can do for your overall wellbeing! read more

Great local gym! The membership is super affordable and it's well equipped with everything you need for a good workout. The staff is super friendly too. They're also very safe and and clean regularly. Check them out if your looking for a new gym! read more

After having had a membership at just about every gym in Seattle and Bellevue, I have finally found something I have stuck with and seen excellent results. I was intrigued but somewhat skeptical of the the value proposition "get results in 21 minutes, 2x a week." But, it is true. I met with PJ for a complimentary workout 2.5 years ago, learned about the process and signed up for 1:1 training. Best decision I have ever made. For years prior, I had chronic, tension neck, headaches and upper back pain. I sought relief from PT's, accupuncture, & massage but no sustained relief. In just a month of training at XGYM, all symptoms were gone. I told PJ I wanted to gain strength to ski better and improve my posture. He designed a custom program and I could not be happier with how I feel, the weight I have lost, the increased energy, strength, and mental clarity. I am so excited to see just how more fit I can become in the future as I turn 60 this year. All his trainers are friendly and follow exactly his protocols whether in a group class or 1:1 training. This is not a gym to go and hang out. You go with a specific purpose, at a scheduled time, work to exhaustion for 21 minutes, in a highly structured manner, and then you are gone. It is awesome. I go between 2-4x a week. Also his online 1:1 virtual training option keeps me from falling back when I travel. Thank you PJ and the whole X Gym team! read more

X Gym is simply the best. It is so good in fact that I often think about how great life would be if I lived closer to Bellevue so I could go to X Gym more often. That might sound like a strong sell, but whenever I leave their group training I feel so good about the day and ready to get back to work. Working out is just hard when you are running a business because finding the motivation is hard when you are juggling different things, have a full schedule and use most of your energy up by 5pm. I either have to get up at 6am, then feel sluggish for work, or start working out at 5pm when I'm already tired from the days work. Neither of those options are very pleasant, meaning there is very little consistency in my workouts. If you live nearby X Gym, go check it out, it's fast, efficient, and the trainers are great. PJ Glassey, the owner, is a wealth of information, from stair running, to time under tension, to custom exercise equipment and everything in between, he's passionate about what we does and it shows. read more

Really great gym and trainers. I look forward to every session.

I started going to X-gym back in my mid-twenties when I worked down in Kirkland. I saw this place that said 21 min 2x a week and I was curious... After starting, I realized this was a very different protocol or approach to fitness than I had ever tried. Im totally a science geek, and I loved how everything made perfect sense to me. I got into the best shape I had personally ever been in. At that point in life I was primarily interested in how I looked. I ended up discontinuing to work in Kirkland ( I live more North) and life got busy, and I stopped going. Fast forward to now, I have 3 more children ( I already had 2 previously), and I am 40 years old. I run two businesses and have a very tight schedule. I wanted to get into the best shape of my life one more time, and I wanted to do something for myself two years ago when I returned to X-gym. Not only did I achieve the fitness I was looking for, but I learned a TON about myself and my capabilities. I also received a ton of help with my anxiety and panic disorder that has plagued me for 15 years. I have spent thousands of dollars on counselors and tried different medications and NEVER had the kind of breakthroughs I have experienced at X-gym. The brain training that is offered here is life-changing!! It just goes to show the whole person approach that is taken here, that really sets this apart from anywhere you could possibly go to. You receive more wellness and health here than you can imagine. What's even more amazing is you aren't spending ALL WEEK in the gym to accomplish these things!! Who has time for that!? A really important thing for me to point out is the support here. Each trainer I've worked with is very caring and helpful. I've grown to love each one of them! I consider them friends :-) there is never any judgment. I started to experience some anxiety issues as I was completing workouts when I re-started, and almost had to stop X-gym. I emailed PJ about what was going on and he personally began to train and help me through my sessions, and do a lot of brain training with me. I really can't even express how life-changing this has been for me. This not only improved my life immensely but also allowed me to keep pushing through and continue on the journey I started. Most gym owners would not care or take the time to help as he has. This is such a gift. The caring I experienced, and that you will experience here is next level. Ok, I'll think I'll finish with this as I get teary eyed... read more

My experience at XGym definitely surprised me because I didn't know I could get results so fast. I had to leave the gym before truly mastering the techniques since I am leaving the location, but even then I noticed that I was stronger, I was standing up taller, and I didn't tire so easily doing the things that would normally tire me. XGym also greatly improved my mental health because I felt more motivated to do things afterwards! read more

I have to say wow. I have experienced the best results that I've seen in all the 50 years in my workout experience so cool.

I've been going to the xgym for years now. It fits perfectly into a busy schedule and most importantly, the results are amazing! 21 minutes two to three times a week. They are the greatest people, and they really have this figured out. Why would I do an hour workout when I can get a better full body workout in 21 minutes? Brilliant! read more

X Gym - Muscle courtesy of xgym. I'm 48 years old. - Trainers Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I was a 9 year member before I suffered an injury in a fall and I moved away from the Xgym alki. During that 9 years Max, Jesse, and others got me in the best shape of my life and the strongest. I was able to do a 400+ squat and a 480+ wall bench press with a little bit of assistance. My legs from all the leg presses, squats were unbelievable during ski season. In 20+ minutes you get an incredible workout. I just wish they were closer read more

I had no idea what this 21-minute workout would bring to my life at my first session. In fact, I was very skeptical about the theory. I had personal trainers before and attempted to encourage myself to work out often. I had to admit that those times might have changed my body shape and helped me build strength but never made me passionate about working out or being active in general. I used to sign up for some heavy training schedules and then quit because the traditional workout plan required too much time and too much motivation to go back the second day with all the muscle soreness. Then, I attended the free trial session, and I signed up immediately when I realized this was not just training for my body but my mind. Putting the maximum effort into each trial and challenging yourself until failure is not just the philosophy for Gym but also an idea I would like to apply in my real life. I have been signing up for double sessions almost every day in the past month. I still have to endure my shivering legs and sore muscle during the session. But 21 minutes goes so fast, and I am proud of myself for completing every session, and I am thrilled to see my strength growing. The boosted metabolism, thriving confidence in my physical ability, and the positive vibe from the trainers and people in the group session make me consistently want to go back. I start a fresh day with 21-minute in Xgym, and I end my busy working time with another 21-minute in Xgym. During the time outside the Xgym, I sign up for things I wouldn't dare to try in the past because I am no longer afraid of failing it in the first place. Actually, failure has another friend called growth coming with it. I think that's the biggest lesson Xgym has taught me. read more

I've been going to XGym off and on (due to changing jobs) for many years, starting when they had a gym in West Seattle. I have always loved the challenging full-body workouts. PJ is very innovative and all the trainers know how to get the most out of your muscles. I look forward to every workout and leave exhausted and satisfied. It's really rewarding when you see yourself get stronger throughout the 'card' you are working on. But don't take my word for it - try it yourself! They have group sessions if you prefer, or even remote training. Just don't book the time slot I prefer. read more

I love the fact you have options in training with X Gym. You can work out with an app, virtual sessions or join group classes, and even have personal one to one sessions in person. You save a ton of time with only 21 min 2x a week and you get the results when you follow your recommendations for eating too! PJ and crew are super great people to work with and I trust him & his business wholeheartedly. read more

Where should I start? I was 15 years old when I first hurt my back. I was a promising pitcher in So. California and collapsed throwing a bullpen. The result was lumbar disc herniations and degenerative disc disease. My athletic career was instantly over and it took me years of physical therapy to live normally again. In college I became an academic. In short, I didn't take care of my physical health and had my head planted over a book for untold hours a day, through a Masters Degree and most of a PhD. I had bad neck problems as a result (cervical disc extrusion), along with nagging, sporadic lower-back "flare-ups." I have been in and out of physical therapy, chiropractic and massage care, and a plethora of sport injury specialists, alternative care physicians, and even mental and emotional counseling. Then, about 7 years ago, I made a choice to "heal myself," after a minor car accident left me with crippling pain. However, I didn't entirely know what that meant, indeed, talking to my doctor, what I wanted was not possible, given my conditions. Nevertheless, I tried a battery of things. Many didn't work, but some things did, and I was learning and glowing along the way. Still, I remained persistent. The reason that I am giving this background is to demonstrate both my personal experience and the difficulties present in beginning to train me. When I first walked into the X-Gym, I was already over many huge hurdles. Indeed, I was walking. I was under chiropractic care, had been through spinal decompression multiple times on multiple locations, received regular massage, and had been "working out" (as best I knew how), along with my doctor's rehab exercises. My intention was clear: I was going to join the X-Gym, learn their "secrets," over a few months, and then do it on my own. Well, that was nearly two years ago, and I am still with the X-Gym. My body is almost unrecognizable now. I lost 3 inches in my waist (though my weight never changed -- muscle weighs more than fat), almost have a "6-pack," have incredible muscle definition on my extremities, and am very nearly pain free! I have also restructured my posture, reshaped my outward-pointing left leg, balanced my asymmetrical walk, and am now only months away from leaving "rehab" and entering "training"! Meaning, that I intent to USE this new body of mine and raise it to a higher level of performance. I had predominantly worked with two trainers: Kelsey and Jay. Over the time that I have known them, they have tailored, re-tailored, and re-re-tailored my workouts (!), working with my doctors' comments and recommendations, as well as my own complaints and observations. In many ways they re-taught me how to walk (!), through slowly focusing on muscle groups that would pull and shape my structure into place. Now, don't get me wrong, they never once dispensed any medical advice, but, rather, they would take my doctor's comments that I would bring them and devise a workout modification, either in the gym with them or as homework for myself. This direct and very active interest in my special needs was paramount in my recovery and getting me to where I am today, and, indeed, I thank them deeply for it -- and continue to do so! Now, this leads me to the "style" of workout... The owner, PJ Glassey, has devised (and regularly updates and changes!) a rather incredible, yet counter-intuitive, style of short and intense exercise. I say "counter-intuitive," because it seemed to me to be a style of exercise that was potentially dangerous -- especially for someone "fragile" like I was. Indeed, this is one of the reasons that I waited so long to approach the X-Gym. I wanted to get "strong" (as much as I could) before joining. However, what I have learned is that this AMAZING style of exercise is WAY SAFER than 99% of the "medical"-style "physical therapy" that I had been in and out of my whole life!!! Indeed, it is THOUSANDS of percent MORE EFFECTIVE than the best physical therapy I have ever experienced! While being a member there, I also picked up Glassey's book, "Cracking Your Calorie Code." Through reading this, chatting with him, and making countless alterations with a natropathic doctor (I didn't mention my food and gut problems, but they were about as bad as my body was when I started all this), I was able to TOTALLY turn my life around. I eat, and ENJOY eating healthful foods, have developed an incredible awareness of my self and body, and know more about postural and structural physical motion than most personal trainers that I see through other gym windows! It is really incredible, actually! Anyway, my wife is now a member and dropped a dress size in her first 2 weeks of workouts! This place is incredible! Truly. Yes, you have to put in the work! You have to push yourself. You have to LISTEN TO THEM and DO WHAT THEY SAY, or you will NOT achieve the results that I have. This is not a "ticket to ride," but it IS a path! read more

First, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that it's only 21 minutes twice a week. I also love the manager, Kelsey. She's so sweet and talented. I love the group classes. The training methods are very unique. You're actually getting strength training, endurance and nerve training all at the same time. Basically you're getting faster and better results. I actually look forward to going to the X Gym because simply put, I get results! I don't want to bore you, however, whether you're a beginner, a triathlete, have been injured, have never worked out and/or have taken a gym hiatus...it doesn't matter. You'll get a great, safe, full body workout every single time. They're very knowledgeable on nutrition as well. The X Gym is how I learned about the keto diet and have been able to keep 20 pounds off. About 75% of my caloric intake consists of really healthy fat. I look forward to eating now. I eat about 2,500 calories a day and most of it is fat. (I know it sounds unbelievable.) Most of my recipes come from www.hardbodcafe.com and taste AMAZING!!!!!! read more

I have been attending group classes at X Gym during the month of October and have really enjoyed it! As someone with chronic pain, hypermobility and other issues, working out is not an easy task without a high risk of injury. However, the type of exercises X Gym uses - mostly bands and body weight - is so much better for my body and I feel like I am really getting a great workout. The 21-minute plan allows me to give each exercise my all, knowing that I will be able to move on and work a different region quickly! All the instructors I have worked with have a different teaching style, but I like them all. I always leave feeling so much better and more energetic. I commend X Gym on their methodology and know it works! read more

I've been working out and competing in sporting events since I was a very young man. I raced most things with a throttle or gravity involved including motorcycles, cars, jet skis and downhill skis. I thought I knew everything I needed to as far as getting in competition shape and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I spent a great deal of time in the gym and doing road work. To my great surprise XGym workouts gave me a whole new take on fitness. The use of constant tension on the muscles I was working made my workouts more intense but greatly reduced the amount of valuable time I had to spend to get the desired result. Not only do I spend less time per session but I only needed 2 to 3 sessions a week. It was hard for me to believe at first but anything more than 3 times a week won't produce the results as fast. Can't say enough about XGym, the strategies they employ and the trainers you get to work with. All of them are world class. Doesn't matter if you're an elite athlete or someone trying to get in shape after neglect or injuries. They design a program just for you! read more

I have been working out at X gym since 2013. It has been an incredible gym for me. I have a tendency to bulk quickly, so getting in a good workout that will tone me and work my muscles without bulking is really important. I tried a myriad of gyms and workouts and didn't find anything that worked for me until X gym. It's a unique mix of brain and muscle training and it only takes 21 min a day, twice a week! It fit perfectly with my schedule and I love leaving the gym exhausted after just a few short minutes. I highly recommend this to anyone tired of fitting in multiple hour long workouts in a week with no results. Best gym ever. read more

Before I started working out at X Gym, I had tried many different workouts over the years but never seemed to stick with any of them. That is until the X Gym. I've been working out there 2 times a week for over 2.5 years and have not gotten bored yet. The best part is, it's only a 21 minute workout and the trainers are great! Would highly recommend it! read more

20 minutes in at the X Gym and you will be redefining your understanding of exercising. The concept is simple, but the practical application is significantly impressive. And as someone who is in the health field and have seen and worked on plenty of individuals from professional athletes to weekend warriors, I have to say that I am thoroughly impressed with this establishment. They have a believer in their mission and a new, excited customer who can't wait to see what he looks like after a year of coming to this gym. Thank you PJ and all of your awesome trainers! read more

X Gym is a completely unique workout Xperience. Most people think they don't have time to go the gym. Luckily, X Gym's philosophy is to work out just twice per week for 21 minutes per session. It's a super-intense workout that hurts SO GOOD! and accomplishes the same amount of physical training that most people gain from hours of traditional gym time. PJ has created his own workouts based on tons of research to optimize your muscle strength without a lot of bulking up. The staff is Xcellent too! read more

XGYM is the real thing if you want to live an active life with minimal time expenditure. It's about becoming the best you and building your brainpower as much as your body power. PJ and BJ or Beege and Peege are the husband and wife owners and have a vast knowledge of mind and body. Like I said before it's more about training your mind than training your body. You'll get in the best shape of your life and build mental endurance at the same time. I look forward to every workout because they are short and very thoughtful and thorough. Twenty-one minutes flies by quickly because you are so focused on maintaining the time under tension. Yes, it is hard. But, you will build mental endurance that will carry you through. It's a life changer and you cannot find any better training program! read more

Wow, wow, wow!!! A couple of mornings a week and the improvement in life quality is incredible after just a couple of months. I am mechanic and many times I find my self having to work upside down under a dash board or reaching over an engine holding something in place for an extended while the fasteners can be started, and after following the Xgym regimen I am no longer sore at the end of the day. Gotta love it read more

The X-Gym method has been the most effective and efficient way for me to get in shape. I have been more than satisfied with the results. The owner, PJ Glassey, and his trainers are professional, supportive, and relentless in their commitment to my fitness goals. If you are looking for a great place to train and do not have a lot of time, this is a great place to maximize the time you have in a day to commit to your physical well being. read more

I love Xgym!! I love that I can get a workout in within 21 minutes and get on with my day. The workouts are challenging and really give your body the workout and boost you need to get through your day!! The trainers at Xgym are amazing, knowledgeable and caring!! I highly recommend Xgym! read more

X Gym changed me physically and mentally. Why?, because unlike many things in life it just makes complete sense. I'm getting older, and probably like you my job is crazy busy and never seems to slow down. X Gym, unlike trying to find the time to get to a regular gym (say 3 times a week) fits neatly into my day to day life because it truly only needs 21 minutes of your day and only twice a week. Best way I can sum it up is "you can't make a diamond without pressure". Go check out PJ's videos on YouTube. He has really simple common-sense ways of making you change your mental focus. Want to eat smarter while making meaningful gains? - he'll give you chocolate that is sooo good for you (just ask my 84 year old mother who has a refrigerator full of the stuff). If you are reading this, I guess you are searching for something better?. All I can say is go try it out - NOW. You'll get really excited to go work out with one of their amazing trainers because you will have learned a true secret to elevating your fitness that most people don't know, and you'll walk out knowing that you just went one step closer to making a diamond. read more

Xgym is amazing! I can't say enough good things about it! I've been a member for 3.5 years now and it's helped to transform my body after two pregnancies. Both times, I was able to lose 35 pounds put on from the pregnancy and get down to my normal size. The protocol is so effective at putting on muscle and shedding the pounds. It's the most difficult work out you'll ever do and it's amazing! You work harder but in less time - you feel like you've done an hour long work out in just half the time. It's the perfect weekly regiment for a busy mom like me. I've gone through MANY trainers at other gyms and the trainers at this gym are FAR superior. They really know their stuff. I have rotator cuff and knee injuries and they are all SO well trained in working around injuries so that you still get a great work out. The trainers at this gym are some of the nicest, most knowledgable people you'll ever meet. I would highly recommend Xgym! read more

Working out with talented personal trainers since 2005 has been one off the best decisions I've made. The workout is focused and challenging with amazing results. Following a dislocated shoulder and a knee replacement (not at the same time) they worked with me to get me back to full functioning. I appreciate that the trainers encourage and push me to a level I would never achieve on my own. They have a client for life... read more
