NW Fitness 247

«There are only 2 reasons someone can cancel a prepaid membership:
They move more than 25 miles from the club, and
They have a note from a doctor stating that they cannot use the club»
A doctor’s note? Really? No thanks.

This is probably the best gym I’ve ever bought a membership for.
The staff is wonderfully helpful and friendly– but never cloying.
The facilities are clean and I’ve never felt it was crowded. They don’t play loud hideous music; it’s a very pleasant environment to plug in some headphones and go to work!
The membership is essentially month to month which is great!
My boyfriend and I were so bummed when we moved out of the neighborhood– MOSTLY because we had to switch gyms.

My husband and I recently joined NW Fitness after relocating to Seattle a couple of months ago. The gym is low-​key but has all the equipment you’d need to get into – or stay in – shape. (They have kettlebells, battle ropes, spin bikes, free weights, TRX, etc. in addition to the larger equipment you’d expect in a gym.) Scott, the group fitness instructor, is personable and knowledgeable. The workouts he creates are HIIT-​style, which I’ve always found fun and effective. The other staff are equally friendly. It’s also never too crowded (owing, perhaps, to the facility’s ²⁴⁄₇ accessibility), which I also love. Overall, it’s been a good fit for my husband and me.

Note since I wrote this prices going up as of December 2015. Close to being 4 stars. And honestly for the money you can’t beat it. Especially if you have an affiliated business or apartment complex. Then it is definitely for stars for you. I had an uncomfortable experience once — which was I think a sign of the growing pains of a new business. The good: price, location. The bad, slightly small, but great for the price still. Also, no hidden fees or long term contract so if you don’t like it as more people join and growing pains potentially settle in you can always go someplace else. Which can’t be said of most places. Overall if you live nearby I suggest taking a tour.

Nice and clean gym in first hill that is open 24 7! They have great equipment, run regular bootcamp and yoga classes and is very easily accessible. Staff and instructors are very nice and helpful! They also have great pricing schemes! Must consider joining if you live or work close by

I love this gym! I work at Harborview (basically next door) so I can sneak away at lunch for Scot’s awesome, 30 min HIT classes. The classes are super fun, have different routines every day, and aren’t soooo intense that you’re too gross to clean up and get back to work (but are challenging and tough!!). They have HIT classes in the mornings, at lunchtime, and in the afternoons, as well as yoga in the afternoon. If classes aren’t your thing, the weights are never busy and there’s generally a treadmill or stairclimber available. Really good trainers and a nice, convenient space. Love it!

This gym was excellent for my needs. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Facilities were always clean an well kept. Killer price as well.

This is a great gym. It’s open 24 hours, decently priced (though I do agree with what another review said — there are some extra fees other than the month-​to-​month fees, but it’s still decently priced compared with other places in the area). They don’t have a lot of variety in instructor lead classes, just bootcamp (indoor, like circuit) and yoga at the moment, but they have a little room that you can go and do your own class, with a TV and touchscreen to select a class to do at any time. The gym itself and the locker rooms are small, but it’s not overcrowded (at least not yet…) so it’s fine.

What a great gym! The place is never busy, so there is no waiting for equipment. I never attended a class, but it seems like one of them had people write their goals on the mirror. It was inspiring and fun to read those as you’re working out. Everything seemed clean every time I went there and the staff is really friendly. My first orientation was great and they gave me some workouts to do that would help me meet my goals. I would recommend this gym to my friends.

I work at Harborview and finish clinic @ 4:30pm-ish. Boot camp class starts at 4:45pm-5:30, so no excuses to not attend. All ages and fitness levels participate and it’s a great work-​out, 4 days per week! Yoga begins immediately after and it is the perfect way to stretch after boot camp class. Rejuvenation yoga, Fridays at 4:45 is an excellent way to loosen up from the work week and prep for the weekend! Instructors and staff are excellent! Access to e-​classes and new equipment 24 – 7 and great location (and discounts) for Harborview staff. Joined 2 months ago and loving it!

NW Fitness 247 is the perfect gym for me.
It’s close enough to my apartment so I have NO excuses about going daily.
The price point is great — for roughing $ 50 a month I have access to this private and secure gym any time, day or night — plus classes (Bootcamp and Yoga specifically).
The gym is small — which means it can get crowded but also means I feel more comfortable here. No gym-​jerks in site and I’m not self conscious when working out in front of other people.
The equipment is new, well maintained, and even has built in fans to keep you reasonably cool when working on your cardio!
The staff is all swell — always ready to answer a question or take suggestions. Meghan, the yoga instructor is super sweet, fun, and great for getting your chakras realigned. Scott, the bootcamp instructor is a source of inspiration, helpful, and always there to give you a friendly motivational nudge.
Since joining I’ve dropped 50lbs, pushed myself to be able to run 5 miles, and found that I do in fact enjoy a daily fitness routine.
Thanks NW Fitness — for being so close and helping me achieve and work towards my fitness goals!

I work in the building where this is located so the location is perfect for me. I love the fact that they are open all hours, is never very busy and the staff are super nice. I take the bootcamp class taught by Scott and he is fantastic!
I am a little hesitant to write a review because I love having no wait for machines and don’t really want tons of people to join. But I also want them to stay open so here I am letting you know how great they are.
The cons about the locker room are spot on. There is only one shower and not a lot of room to move around. If they could find a way to make expand and make the locker rooms bigger that would be great.

I work down the street and it has been a convenient place for me to workout during my lunch hour. The gym space is small, but functional and has everything you need for a great workout.
Pros
–I’ve never had to wait for a machine. I do most of my workouts during lunch and it is not crowded at that time. Sometimes I have the gym all to myself.
–Staff is friendly.
–For an extra fee a month, there is a room you can use that has a big monitor set up and you can watch pre programmed exercise videos. The videos are everything from yoga to bicycling to dance and everything in between.
Cons
–Small locker room with only one shower. I’ve had to wait several times to use the shower.
–No bench or «sitting area» in the locker room because of its small size. It can be difficult just to put on your shoes because there is no where to sit.
–Price seems great at first, but there are a bunch of fees you have to pay: Initiation, first and last month dues, memberships dues, etc. The person I signed up with was very honest about these fees, but when everything gets added up, it was not as great of a deal as I was expecting.
Overall the pros out weigh the cons and the cons are only minor inconveniences. I can get in a great workout during lunch. I would recommend this gym for anyone working in the first hill area.

Great gym. Always open, very clean great equipment, friendly staff and reasonably priced. Couldn’t ask for much else!

I joined this gym as new year resolution, and I’m still here in June. I’ve lost weight and gone down 2 sizes in my jeans thanks to my personal trainer, Rasun. This gym has everything you need for a great workout. It’s small but very functional, and you can always find a treadmill or elliptical available. My only caveat is that the locker room is small and only one shower, but I can live with that. It’s a positive friendly place and I always enjoy the vibe here.
Here are some of what they have:
TRX system
Kettle bells
Free weights
Weight machines
Elliptical
Treadmills
Exercise bikes
Stair climb
Boot camp classes
Yoga

This gym is great, very convenient since I work right there. I love going to the gym at lunch and getting a good sweat in half way through my day. The prices are great for this being the second gym I belong to. They even offer a boot camp class at lunch time that is only 30 minutes, so there are no excuses to not go to the gym. They also offer a discount for UW/​HMC employees.

I’ve been at NW Fitness for about the last 6 months and am sad to say I will be canceling my membership due to a residential relocation. This facility is always very well kept, has everything you need for a great workout no matter what your style of training & conveniently open ²⁴⁄₇ with security entry. I want to thank the staff for their professionalism and a positive experience; it is much appreciated! I highly recommend this gym if you reside in the First Hill neighborhood.

I’ve been at this gym since I moved out here and I’ve got to say it’s the best gym I’ve been to. They have nice equipment, and they have a open floor area where you can do whatever you want to. The fact that it’s open ²⁴⁄₇ is also super handy. I’d be sad if I move away and can’t come to this gym anymore

Im surprised no one has reviewed this gym yet! I used this gym for 2 months before I moved out of the area. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. This gym has 24 hour access, it has never been crowded when I go, and the staff is very friendly and helpful. Even though the space is small, they have a great variety of equipment and use the area well. There is a large mirrored area in the back that is available for use when there arnt classes which is furnished with pullup bars, TRX stuff, mats, kettlebells, weights and other goodies. Bathrooms and the whole gym is clean and well maintained.
I joined during an enrollment special so I found my rate to be fair. The normal price seemed a little high for this gym, but perhaps they will run a special again. I cant say much about the classes or the «GIFT» membership which I never participated in.
The last thing Ill say about this gym, and what really solidifies my 5 star review, is how easy and painless they made my unenrollment! No hidden charges and no run around! Everything was transparent and the manager even showed me the computer screen to make me feel comfortable that everything was input properly and I wouldn’t be charged for more than I had committed to. The whole process took 5 minutes and I didn’t feel like I was being screwed or lied to like I have when quitting other gyms in the area.
Honestly, I would still go here if I lived in the area. This is a pretty solid little gym that will definitely meet the needs of your average person.
