10 Best Seattle Gyms

Ron Zanetti - We love this club. Been members for more than 10 years. They have everything we want in a club: classes, variety of exercise rooms and equipment, spa, and more.

Carl Haynes - Closest gym open 24 hours. Kids pool is decent and is available for kids most of the weekend. Have added a bunch more parking which helps.

Rebekah Bastian - It's pricey, but it's a lovely spot that doesn't feel too gym-y.

Jennifer Haller - Love the fast pace intervals - the time goes by quick! Also love that you can mostly go at your own pace and you don't have to compare to others next to you.

Rebecca Lovell - The Capitol Hill gym is welcoming, non-judgmental and motivational at the same time! None of the no-pain-no-gain machismo, but a great and supportive community. Not to mention killer workout. Tammara is the best!

Rachel Wood - The community built at this gym encourages me to keep going back! If you enjoy HIIT workouts then give this gym a try.

Kelsey Lockard - Such a great climbing atmosphere. As I am a beginner, it was a blast and I was able to do it but still challenge myself. Drop ins are very convenient and they have climbing shoes you can rent!

Matt Gamboa - If you like climbing, you'll love SBP. Great culture and community. There's a cafe with lots of seating where you can plug into work. There's a gym as well as Yoga classes. WiFi is not the fastest, so I wouldn't recommend taking video conferences here. But otherwise, membership is well worth the value.

Sara Sohnly - Such a fun way to work out! This facility is nice because you can climb or workout so I don't feel like I have to choose between climbing and getting my workouts in.

Liz Pearce - I've just started taking boxing lessons at Cappy's based on all the great recommendations here. It's a fun workout, and the staff and coaches are very friendly and supportive. Be prepared for partner work. If you want to learn a new skill and get out of your comfort zone (but not too far), this is a great option. I can't tell if I'm going to get really hooked yet, but so far so good! Thanks Jennifer Olson Kenji Sazanami Tonya Peck Masako Long

Yaprak DeCarmine - Went here for the beginning class and it was a lot of fun. Excited to go back!

Tonya Peck - Wonderful community! Very pro social!

Shannon Garbaccio - Admittedly, I have not darkened the door of a gym since covid started but I love Community Fitness spin classes. The teachers are fantastic, great energy, music and workouts. You're guaranteed to leave class exhausted and sweaty. I love how you can have a punch card or have a membership. That flexibility is really nice in the world of gyms these days.

Jen Hope - Love Josh's classes on Monday and Wednesday. Jennifer teaches awesome dance classes multiple days per week. The community is fun and welcoming - definitely a place you can drop in and feel at ease.

Karina Kunins - Love the tabata, cycle/barre and cycle/strength classes.

Yaprak DeCarmine - Real boxing gym that offers group and private sessions taught by champion boxers. They also have open gym hours if classes aren't your thing.

Monica Huntsberry - Coach Carla Wilcox at the Seattle Boxing Gym has been amazing at meeting me where I’m at in my health journey. She calls her program “Heartbeat X” and focuses her work on your heart, including the physical and mental aspects of training. She’s great for 1:1 training, small groups, or if you want to have a retreat.

Owen Bitas - Great workout, affordable price, great trainers

Ryan Bruss - I worked out here consistently for a couple years (2013-2015). At the time it was a really good crossfit gym in a great location, with awesome coaches. I can't imagine much has changed since then. The owner, Izzy, always goes above and beyond for his clients.

Jacob Hollenbeck - One of the best gyms in the downtown area. Owned by the incredibly generous Izzy who pours his heart and soul into the place to make it a delightful (and painful!) experience for those looking to stay in shape! As a regular member for years and having been to many other CrossFit gyms... this is an easy recommendation for me.

Minda Lane - I love this place. It's family and community and the locker rooms are warm and smell like cheap shampoo and for some reason that always comforts me. Also, it's clean. Lots of equipment always in good repair, and great classes/instructors.

John Fisher - Sure, you can join a national chain gym, but the Y in West Seattle is really a gem — especially for families. A huge room full of elliptical and stationary bikes and treadmills and stuff, an ample weight area, plenty of quiet space for your own planks or pushups or crunches or whatever, a big gym, a nice pool (or at least that a what I hear — I’ve never been in it.) They’ve got a pretty sizable slate of yoga, Pilates, TRX, zumba, spin classes etc. both at the big main facility and the smaller one just up from the Fauntleroy ferry dock, with some really good instructors. It’s a bargain, too, if you and your family use it a lot. The only downside: parking can be a challenge. It’s not a super-hip cutting-edge club but it’s modern, clean, friendly and super convenient.

Joan Johnson - We LOVE the WSY! Great community, workout equipt/spaces, gym, pool, dance/fitness studio (classes) and Pilates Reformer studio/classes. Great price!

Maria Hess - Great HiiT (high intensity interval training) workout. They even have a DJ on Saturdays. Highly recommend

Jackie Futrell - Great location, clean space, and lots of variety!

Patrick O'Donnell - There's a regular lunchtime basketball game that's better than your average YMCA game. Several friendly regular players.

Buzz Bruggeman - The Y may not be fancy, but it's very clean, fresh towels, helpful staff and easy to get to.
