ZenRock Fitness

Well I can’t say enough about this gym! Actually you can’t really call it a «GYM» it’s much more. I’m not wild about a gym so to find a place you can go and workout with your trainer in a private room with no prying eyes I’m all in! I have worked out with trainers for many years these folks understand their clients needs and are incredible with changing things up when you have an ailment or need a change of pace in your workout! Worth a visit to understand their philosophy.

Surpassed my fitness goals long ago thanks to Petra and the dedicated team at ZenRock and now enjoy a balanced and sustainable lifestyle. I am stronger, faster, have great muscle tone & weigh a lot less than when I walked through their front door! And after 2 years still look forward to each session.

I have been training with Nova for over one year. Zen Rock is the ultimate in private personal training. Not once in this last year has there been another person working out in the same room. As a client, I have Nova’s undivided attention and expert guidance. She has guided me through my changing body as a result of significant weight loss and has, in turn, really improved my strength and balance. Her friendly manner and motivating support are such a welcome addition to my week. All of the trainers at Zen Rock are engaged, attentive and well educated for a client’s needs. The space is warm, perfectly outfitted and so inviting. What began as a perceived short term «get myself in gear» approach has become a long term «I want more» pursuit, one that is essential to how I want to lead my life. Give yourself the gift of getting to know Zen Rock. You’ll be so glad you did!

I’ve been working out with Medhi at Zenrock for over a year. He’s helped me work on and improve all parts of my body. I always feel great after my training appointment, mind and body. Good genuine people all around who care and love their job.

I came to ZenRock looking for rehabilitation and strengthening. I have been working with my amazing trainer Nova for over a year, with her I get the benefits of both strength training and yoga. I have always made fitness a priority in my life. I continue to return to ZenRock because of the Trainers and even other clients that create this warm, non-​judgmental, and inviting atmosphere. I have had the opportunity to work with 3 other trainers, all of them are professional and knowledgeable. It’s a one of a kind experience, whether your needs are rehabilitation, motivation, nutrition, yoga (one on one or group), yoga retreat or just plain booty-​kicking (!!) any one of the trainers will be able to deliver. I am truly thankful that I have found ZenRock and grateful ZenRock has introduced me to Nova.

ZenRock Fitness is outstanding, or in other words, Woohoo! As good as it gets! The one on one personal training from Petra is inspiring, motivating and will help you move towards your goals. She is extremely knowledgeable, dedicated, and tailors the training to you, and in my case, some previous injuries. This is a woman owned business and if you are ready to get stronger, more flexible, and find your zen, you’ve found the right place. Don’t hesitate, just begin. ~Lori S.

I’ve been going to ZenRock now for just over four months and I’m very pleased. The studio is clean, organized and very inviting. All of the trainers there are very nice and easy going; Heidi is my trainer and great enjoy working out with her. This is the perfect place for anyone that needs that extra push and to have someone make them feel accountable. I had a gym membership but would always have an excuse not to go (work, friends, family, etc.). Now that I have a set schedule and someone keeping an eye on my fitness goals, I am actually staying committed to my health change and feel great. I have changed my habits and overall heath tremendously since starting with ZenRock and I’m so glad I called them and gave it a shot. I’m so happy with them that I have even gotten my husband to join me and train with me.

Second to none. ZenRock has the best personal trainers. They have completely changed every facet of my health. ZenRock takes a holistic approach to transform your wellness — from diet and lifestyle to physical fitness. The gym is the best option for training on the Eastside — it’s private and beautifully appointed with a staff that genuinely cares.

I have worked out at a few different gyms in the area over the past few years. I found Zen Rock Fitness and haven’t looked back. Firstly, there is an atmosphere of warmth and welcome to the place, and it’s beautiful here. Petra couldn’t be nicer. I have received caring and thoughtful guidance for my physical training from her as well as Heidi and Dwayne. I anticipate my sessions here with excitement, even when I know I’m going to get my ass kicked. (I mean that in a joking way, of course). As a result of the training from these lovely people, I look and feel great. I haven’t sustained any injuries from overzealous and ignorant trainers — they would never get hired at Zen Rock. I cannot recommend this place enough.

Amazing facility and the best trainers on the eastside.
Thank you ZenRock!

I’ve been taking 1 on 1 yoga training session here at Zen Rock for the last couple months and I must say it’s been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. The experience has changed my life completely. My outlook on life has changed, my body has changed, my diet has changed. Everything for the better. I feel as if ten years have been added to my life, and you simply can’t put a price on that. Thank you ZenRock!!!

After months of encouragement from my wife, I finally tried ZenRock with the specific goal of improving my core strength and bulking up a bit, along with improving flexibility and overall fitness. I wish I would have started sooner. Wonderful, caring staff; beautiful, serene environment. ZenRock totally rocks!!!

ZenRock rocks! Beautiful facility, friendly and attentive personal trainers. Free yoga sessions for clients. It’s a great value for $ spend.

This review is for the yoga classes only — I haven’t tried their personal training sessions.
I’d really like to give this place 5 stars. The facility and instruction would be 5 stars without question. It’s a beautiful place to exercise and there is plenty of parking. The name «ZenRock» perfectly describes the atmosphere — the décor is sleek and peaceful. Everyone is also really friendly. I highly, highly recommend Summer’s yoga class on Sunday morning. She is a fantastic, knowledgeable teacher who also cares very much about the quality of her teaching and the progress of her students. A lot of hands-​on attention to alignment. I was also happy find the level of the class to be challenging without losing the nourishing quality of yoga — no drill sergeant style instruction here. The classes are generally pretty small, around 6 people, so everyone gets individual attention.
The unfortunate things that drag my review score down to 4 stars:
* Class times are very infrequent. It’s essentially weekdays at noon, Friday afternoon, and Sunday morning.
* Hard to get up-​to-​date information. When I first started, I tried to call and e-​mail ZenRock to make sure their website schedule was correct, and I never got a response. They also closed the studio for about two weeks around Christmas, and I didn’t know about this until I showed up for a class and saw the sign on the door.
* It’s a small space. When the class is bigger than about 8 people, they run out of props. I’m not sure what they’d do if more than 12 people showed up, space-​wise. Haven’t seen it happen, though.
* On the expensive side. A package of 8 classes is still $ 16 each. I do think the price is justified.

First I’d like to say that this only applies to their yoga classes. I have to say that I really like the people at ZenRock. I’ve only taken a few classes from Petra and I think Erin (?) but they were really great and the facility was relaxing and great for yoga.
The problem is that they don’t have to organization to run regular classes. 3 times, the classes were canceled without prior notice, so I drove all the way there, only to be told by a sign on the door that it was closed. Once, I dragged myself and a friend there at 8 am Sunday only to have this happen. My other friend drove all the way from Seattle a couple of times. I suggested that they post cancellations on their website — never happened. They also permanently canceled the only Saturday classes I could attend, so that’s that. Don’t think they really deserve a fourth chance.

Walking into Zen Rock Fitness instantly puts me at ease. The outside of the building is rather plain, but the inside is indeed very Zen (as the name indicates). It’s small, beautiful, and clean. The training is one-​on-​one and nothing like what you’d find at a big gym. From start to finish they give you 100% of their attention. Every single employee there (there aren’t many) is genuinely interested in your workout and your progress.
I worked with Holly (or Heidi?) for just a few sessions and she was amazing! Her upbeat attitude was really inspiring and she really helped me feel motivated to keep working out and stay with the program.
The other cool thing is that they offer group Yoga classes on weekends. You can buy a package or just drop in for a one time class.
The only reason why I didn’t give Zen Rock 5 stars is because they are a bit pricey for me (although to be fair, I have no idea what is normal for personal training). It’s about $ 40 for each 30 minute session, and for effectiveness you should be coming in about 2 – 3 times a week. If I had the money to spare on this, I would come here 3 times a week and weekends for Yoga!

ZenRock is a beautiful facility. I have worked out with each of the trainers here and they are all knowledgeable, encouraging, and inspiring in their own ways! I love their holistic approach to health and fitness. I am well on my way to reaching my fitness goals with their support.
They are located right next to the delicious Pomegranate Restaurant in Redmond so try and resist the lure of the sweet treats on your way out ;)
