Eastside Gym

Fantastic experience: The owner is friendly and personable. Very affordable and a no complicated contract. Has all the equipment I need to do a full body work out. 5/5

Fantastic experience: Wow not only is the price affordable compared to all other gyms. They are super friendly and truly help!!! I am disabled and they made my transition here amazing and way easier!! Except I'm super sore from only 3 visits! Lol

Fantastic experience: Awesome, no nonsense weight lifting gym.

Fantastic experience: Eastside Gym is one of the best gyms in the area. It's a no frills old school gym with iron plates and all the equipment you could ever need. The owners and staff are friendly and the members are strong. You get a great sense of community here along with 6 power racks, 4 benches, kettlebells up to 80lbs and some equipment you won't find in other gyms. It's open 24/7 for annual members and the cost is more affordable than any gym in the state. A truly perfect gym.

Fantastic experience: Good gym with all the necessary equipment. The owner is an amazing guy.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I was in the area for about a week visiting a friend, so I was looking for a good gym to use in the mornings. Eastside Gym is it! First: fundamentals. This gym has all the equipment you will ever need. Lots of squat racks, dumbbells, machines, the whole shebang. It’s not a massive gym, but they have a great variety of equipment and I never had to wait for what I wanted. Second: friendly atmosphere and community. I loved coming in every morning and seeing Sgt Mike! He greets you with genuine excitement and is always ready for some morning banter. Plus he is there to recommend workouts, spot you, or help with whatever else you need. Third: everything is super clean & well-maintained. Fourth: it’s very affordable! You get 5 star quality on any budget. After less than a week I feel like a billboard for this great gym. Check it out for yourself!

Fantastic experience: Been going here for over a year. 24 hour gym for a great price. Lots of squat racks. Lots of great equipment. Great place!

Fantastic experience: Very clean and friendly environment!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym for over two years, and it's a great, down-to-business gym to work out in. There are no fancy gym memberships or ridiculous gym layouts, just good old-fashioned steel and weights. It's very much like a mini-me Gold Gym in WA. I like coming here to work out in the morning with my lady before work.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Eastside for about 10 months now and I have had nothing but a great experience. Lonnie is so kind and helpful and Mike works so hard to keep the place clean and orderly. Overall a great experience and my favorite gym I’ve ever been to.

Fantastic experience: Cozy gym with an old school vibe. Owner / employees are super kind and keep the place clean. Great prices and lots of great equipment including a pendulum squat! Absolutely love it here, hope I never have to switch

Fantastic experience: Best gym for price, atmosphere, equipment, and hospitality. I’ve been coming here for 2 years and have loved it ever since.

Fantastic experience: Eastside gym provides amazing value in a gym industry that is consistently overpriced. It is well-stocked with equipment and machines, including numerous squat racks and powerlifting stations which can be hard to come by at commercial gyms. There is also a large cardio section with TV's that is well-positioned away from the weights. It is a more personal and welcoming atmosphere, where you can easily build a sense of community. You can often see the staff cleaning during the day, and they are quick to lend a helping hand. The trainers are knowledgeable and clearly have a lot of lifting experience. I highly recommend Eastside Gym to anyone who is looking for a refreshing gym experience and is serious about their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Best gym by far in the area. Joined during a tough time in my life & this gym has helped tremendously. Staff couldn’t be nicer & has everything you need. Can’t recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I don’t usually write reviews, but this gym deserves the credit. When first getting your membership you are greeted by either the owner, Lonnie, or Mike (if you workout in the morning). Both of these guys are awesome and really care for the community they created. The gym is always clean. There is plenty of equipment to workout everything you need to and it is properly maintained. The prices are super affordable, can’t be beat. Honestly, best gym in the area by far.

Fantastic experience: hands down my favorite gym in town, the atmosphere is awesome, the staff is friendly and helpful, the equipment is always maintained, it’s always clean, there is enough room for everything. The prices can’t be beat

Negative experience: I love this gym! Eastside is where I first truly learned powerlifting. The owner, Lonnie, is super friendly and will help spot you with whatever lift you need. The people here and friends here are one of a kind, and the comradery is unmatched to other sports. I’ve already referred a couple friends to the gym myself. The gym is equipped with just about every machine. If you train alone like most people who go here, Eastside is an absolute gem for the value/location, and I can’t recommend this gym enough. ♥️ However, do NOT train with the personal trainer, Mike Pratt, here. I trained with him for a little over a year. On the surface he seems like a friendly dude, but once you actually start training with him you’ll see his real side. He was very mean/rude/harsh to various women at the gym (including myself), often times snapping at them, while others he would completely ignore. At one point he even made someone I trained with storm out and cry over which bar to use. He’ll make inappropriate jokes, say racially/politically charged things, and will even occasionally accidentally send you very R rated inappropriate Instagram messages. I won’t even touch on the very baseless claims he made around pretty serious allegations of other competitor gyms in the area. Outside of all of that, Mike won’t teach you proper form, especially when it comes to Deadlift and Squat. Various times when training with him I ended up getting very painful neck injuries that resulted in me not even being able to get out of bed at times. There were other times he’d have us do competition squats without spotting, which did result in the bar crushing a couple people a few times. It’s only until after I started going to a new trainer that I realized how truly bad of form he teaches to his clients. This alone is a massive liability. He’s made me feel very unsafe and uncomfortable going to Eastside, and I’m not sure I’ll ever return. It hurts me to write this review on such a great gym with such great people and an amazing owner. I’m writing this review to ensure any new powerlifters getting into the sport that are looking for a personal trainer here don’t have an awful experience like I’ve had.

Fantastic experience: Been going here for last month. Its a great gym. The person who runs it is very gracious and kind

Fantastic experience: Great cheap gym, like 8 squat racks or so. 4 benches. 1 smith machine. Pretty small (just one huge garage), but has equipment that'll hit every muscle group.

Fantastic experience: Came here to fit in a workout when visiting from out of town and was extremely impressed. The owner was friendly and helpful (but not overbearing), and he was literally cleaning and taking care of the facility when I came in. Only $10 for a drop-in session?! Price cannot be beat. This place has everything you need for a strength workout and nothing you don’t. They have ample squat racks and bench presses; I came at the busiest time for any gym and had no trouble getting the equipment I needed for a powerlifting workout. One of the regulars helped me when I was having trouble adjusting one of the machine heights; very down-to-earth vibe. Along with the 24-hr access, I would 100% be a member if I lived in the area. If you are looking for a bougie spa vibe, this is not the gym for you.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Definitely the place to go whether you’re trying to body build, powerlifting or just get in great shape!

Fantastic experience: Wow! What an incredible find. Excellent gym in a friendly environment. Owner was super friendly. The annual membership is the lowest, and best value I’ve ever experienced!!

Fantastic experience: Friendly owner, 24/7 access, screamingly low price.

Fantastic experience: The best gym eastside of Seattle. Extremely cheap rates and even cheaper if you have a friend referral. The populace is small here, just like the cozy gym. However, all the tools you need are here and high quality. The gym is ran by an awesome owner and it definitely feels local and not a corporate gym with many rules.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this gym for more than half a year. This is by far the best gym in the area! Affordable price, lots of squat racks, dedicated bench press benches, and tons of weights. They allow you to drop weights when deadlifting. If your goal is to get stronger and healthier, that is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Really good variety of free weights, machines, dumbbells, Hammer strength, cable, cardio. For every single muscle group they've got many different weights or machines you can pick from to train it. I found a combo I favored that fit my size and motion. Really smart and efficient use of space. Owner is super nice. Best gym I've been a member of so far.

Fantastic experience: Really nice folks. Small but has everything I need.

Fantastic experience: Classic never gets old

Fantastic experience: I came here to work out with my sister while visiting on vacation over Christmas break. The staff was great to work with and the gym was excellent. Lots of different weight equipment and people of all skill levels.

Fantastic experience: Tons of equipment and a cheap monthly fee, plus the owner is one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I love this gym!

Fantastic experience: Best kept secret on the Eastside. True 1980s style gym with a close knit group of people from all walks of life and all fitness levels. I felt welcomed the moment I stepped inside. If you are looking for a true “no judgement zone” Eastside gym is your huckleberry. I won’t tell you how affordable it is because you wouldn’t believe me!

Fantastic experience: Easily my favorite gym I've lifted at. It's extremely affordable, the equipment is in great shape, there's pretty much always a squat rack available, and there is an incredible sense of community.

Fantastic experience: Cheap yet adequate

Fantastic experience: The best gym in the area for serious powerlifting and weight training at an easily affordable price point. Plenty of squat racks, dumbbells up to 150lbs, good quality machines, a modestly sized cardio area, open 24 hours, and is actually host to a friendly fitness community and gym culture.

Negative experience: No AC, and the personal trainer (not sure if he works at the gym) who’s always there obviously does not know what he’s doing. His clients will get injured based on what I’ve seen and what he allows them to do. Even if he doesn’t work there, he shouldn’t be allowed to train others. His stuff is always scattered across the floor and his group takes up a quarter of the gym.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. This place is a no-nonsense style of gym where you can get a great workout with like-minded people with great equipment. Six power racks, four bench press stations and tons of plate weights. A good variety of Precor and Hammer Strength machines. Their dumbbell rack goes from 3 lb to a whopping 150 lbs in 5 lb increments. This is far from your commercial gym. They have two chalk bowls and countless competition-style bars, Ohio and Texas Power Bars, Kubaki deadlifting bars and a variety of others. An adequate amount of cardio equipment which includes treadmills bikes and ellipticals. The environment is high-energy with a lot of friendly knowledgeable people and trainers that are willing to help you and get spots if needed. Besides all of that, the price cannot be beat $199 a year! as well as 24/7 access. I don't know of any other gym that can compare.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms in the area. I moved here from the Midwest over 5 years ago. I’ve had many different gym memberships throughout the years but I’ve kept my eastside membership throughout every year I’ve lived here. The reason I’ve always kept the eastside membership is that the gym is the best functional place to workout and train. They have all the equipment needed for serious competitors in powerlifting and bodybuilding. The atmosphere in the gym is also great because it brings very serious athletes, but it also has an inviting atmosphere for everyday regular people. The gym is warm and inviting if you are just a beginner or a stage competitor. It has a community feel to it where you can meet great friends. The owner, Lonnie, is a great guy, he’s very knowledgeable, very down to earth, and a community minded individual. He creates an atmosphere that is good for young adults, beginners, intermediate lifters, all the way up to serious professional athletes. The other great thing about the gym Is that there is a large variety of equipment for powerlifting and hypertrophy. They have 10 power racks so you are never waiting on a squat rack!! Olympic bars, great machines, and a large array of cardio equipment. They gym is also open with 24 hour access so it’s for serious fitness enthusiasts who never want to miss a workout even at night or on holidays. To me you can’t beat a gym like this and there aren’t many around like it anymore!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym for the price, simply can't be beat. Members/owner and staff are friendly and helpful and the place is super clean and well organized. Thank you Mike! Mind you not super fancy but very practical and a great value compared to all the other gyms around and they offer 24 hour access if requested. Been a member there for years as a result. Plus no membership games or initiation fees or other, very basic and straight forward. Lastly, fellow members are approachable, friendly and helpful if asked. I like that!

Fantastic experience: Great gym at an affordable cost. Nice change of pace from the big commercial gyms. Has an excellent variety of machines and equipment. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Perfect lifting or cardio gym. Best prices in the area. Plenty of well maintained equipment. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Pretty much the only gym in the area now with 24/7 access. You can’t beat the value! Perfect for powerlifting with enough machines/cables for hypertrophy focused lifting/ accessory work as well. Owner is super nice and passionate. Best deal is $199/year but if you sign up with someone, second person gets it for $99/year. Insane deal. I live all the way in Des Moines but signed up with my girlfriend who lives in the area. Now I can get a workout in anytime I come up :)

Fantastic experience: Great price, open 24 hours, good selection of equipment, nice community

Fantastic experience: Great no-frills gym. Awesome price and a very large selection of the important elements (squat racks, bench presses, benches, etc.) — particularly relative to the gym's size. The owner is also a great guy

Fantastic experience: Good value, very friendly folks, solid equipment. It's a little crowded sometimes but it's crowded because it's a great gym.

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome if you’re looking for cleanliness, pristine equipment, nice showers and a towel service. This is not your gym!! This gym is specifically built for hard work, not for luxury, the best luxury amenity it has is a water station and a couple attachments on the wall to chalk your hands. I don’t know what gyms are like back in Arnold’s day, but he said gives me that old school vibe. The best part everyone is in there to lift weights, not socialize. The owner is a very cool dude. Just over 24 hours a day and he’s lucky. If you get that plan there’s been times I have gone and worked out at 2 AM by myself. I love it

Fantastic experience: Straight up best gym for everyone from anywhere to focus on getting stronger

Fantastic experience: Value for money.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym, everything you need, nothing you don’t. Like minded people to keep you motivated. Extremely affordable. If you are a local, I definitely recommend. This gym doesn’t have a sauna, or steam room, but that’s not what this gym is. This is for serious people, with goals. Get fit, stay fit etc.

Fantastic experience: Great owner, no frills gym. More oriented towards free weights and power lifting, but has other machines etc. Real gem

Fantastic experience: I almost hate to leave a great review because I don’t want more people at this gym, but it is pretty great! The employees are very nice and helpful. The price is great. They have 6 squat racks and tons of benches/dumbbells. Even when it’s busy (usually only in the evening) you can find something to do because of the large amount of equipment. The equipment is older, but well taken care of.

Fantastic experience: This is a great no-frills gym that has everything you need. The equipment is older but it all functions properly. I chose this gym for the location and the price. You can’t beat it!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out here the last year and I can tell this gym is amazing, people and owners are super friendly, lots of dumbbells and plates. Don’t believe is dirty, it’s really clean. The equipment is not new, that’s why some people maybe say is not clean, but everything works perfect.

Fantastic experience: $200 plus tax for a one year membership and NO MONTHLY FEES!! What more do you need to know? I joined today and got my one year membership although I could of paid month to month or had some other plan. $200 for a year is a great price to get into or keep in shape. While I was there on my first day. I met 3 friendly people as well. I personally find it a bonus to be able to talk to others willing to be friendly while do my workout. I was not the only one who thought that as well. With a combination of a friendly staff and members with a great yearly price and no gimmicks. This gym is in for the win!!

Fantastic experience: Eastside Gym is the best gym I've had a membership at after trying VisionQuest, LA Fitness and Golds Gym, all in Kirkland. There are no corporate sales pitches, no supplements being shoved at you, and all the equipment you need for a solid workout. Great rates don't have any hidden fees or tricks to keep you locked in. The best part about Eastside Gym to me is that it is simple, there are plenty of free weights, a nice selection of Hammerstrength machines and Precor Ellipticals and Treadmills. Perfect place to get in, do any type of workout, and make real progress. An added bonus is that you will see the same people if you come consistently, and both the gym atmosphere and the owner are very friendly. Gym is 24 hour with a key. I will continue to renew my membership every year.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym - it's by far the least expensive around, and there's no sales pitches like at other gyms, and no upsells. Lonny, the owner, is there most of the time and is friendly and fun to talk to, and overall the gym just feels like a second home. There are plenty of free weights and cardio machines. It's easy to get to and park at, and it's 24 hours (I think you have to do the 6-month plan to get a key, but I forget. Anyway it's totally worth it). I highly recommend Eastside Gym.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place to workout, all the essentials and a lot of the non-essentials. Plenty of rack and bench space for big lifts, 2-3 sets of dumbbells for every 5 pounds, and there's always open machines and cardio spots even during the after-work rush. Everything is clean, and like all the other reviews say, the owner Lonnie is a really great guy, super easy to deal with and no sales pressure at all. Can't recommend Eastside enough.

Fantastic experience: I really miss this place. I left the area a couple years ago and have been in many gyms since...I find ways to make it work, but I haven't found a place where I felt as at home as I did here. Lonny is a good guy, knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, and sets the tone for a great atmosphere. The equipment is top of the line and well maintained, the facility is big and open, clean, just really a cool place to get your work done. I'm sure nothing's changed, great gym. Highly urge anyone in the area to check it out.

Fantastic experience: Great little gym. No thrills or fancy stuff or people but enough equipment and weights to do almost anything you need.

Fantastic experience: Eastside Gym is well worth the price. You get gym equipment for most skill levels and interests for a very fair price. It's also in a great location only a few minutes drive from downtown Redmond. And it's open 24 hours. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: 老闆人很親切，價格很合理，設備雖然不是最新，但都有認真在維護，環境很好

Fantastic experience: This gym is legit. The staff are friendly and are willing to help. It’s also nice to be able to go there whenever. They also make sure the the equipments are working right. Today the gym owner got some guys to come work on putting new leather on the benches and tightening up some other equipment. You also can’t find any gym with this great of a price

Fantastic experience: Essentially everything you need. The rooms and equipment are clean and it is never extremely busy. Nice place for a quick work out.

Fantastic experience: An amazing workout that will change your body fast! They are inspiring, intelligent, and extremely encouraging! If I could give it 10 stars, I would!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town says it all. You won't find a better lifting community, more equipment, better spaces for unusual and trending workouts, or a more competitive membership price.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym. Has a dirty shower I don’t think people use but most people come to it workout gear already. All the necessary equipment for good price.

Positive experience: 디지펜 학생이라면 1년에 $150이라 가성비가 굉장히 좋다. 시설도 샤워실 빼면 다있고 기구도 많다. 렉이 많아서 프리웨이트를 좋아하면 마음에 들것이다.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for powerlifting. They have deadlift bars, power bars, tons of squat racks. Plenty of machines and cardio equipment too.

Fantastic experience: Great experience as a drop in. Helpful coaching and very friendly patrons. Exactly what a gym community is all about. Defiantly consider this gym if looking for a spot to work out!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym for the price!

Fantastic experience: The shop owner is friendly

Positive experience: the good- tons of squat racks, 4 flat benches including a comp bench, 1 incline bench, round iron plates, tons of different bars, they let you deadlift without crying about making too much noise, open 24 hours, cool owner, old school gym feel. the not so good- this place is real dirty. pretty gross, actually. i used to bring my own wipes and wipe down the bar before using it which turned the wipe into a dark brown color. it’s small, so often i didn’t have room to even do walking lunges, and the dumbbell section is so cramped there’s barely room to breathe. the dumbbells themselves were very old, kinda falling apart, and in desperate need of replacement, which can be said for a lot of the equipment in there. also, no air conditioning, and in the summer they open up the big rolling doors which lets in allll the hot air and hot sun from the outside. if you just wanna squat, bench, and deadlift, then this is an ok place to do it.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym. Affordable and has fair amount of weights I love to train with. It's open 24 hours and really enjoy working out there. The owner is very friendly and he really cares about the members. This is a place to workout... not those fufu gyms that people go to take selfies. I have finally found my second home.

Fantastic experience: best gym

Fantastic experience: I wanted to lie and only give Eastside Gym only 1 ⭐ because I didn't want the Gym to get crowded. But, I must tell the truth. This is my kind of gym. No frills, no fancy latest and greatest anything (I meant that as a compliment). Just a real gym with real, good working equipment and a great place to work out hard and see real results. Best value anywhere.

Fantastic experience: Great owners! Clean and there is all you need. Super unbeatable price and quality. Me and my husband enjoying visiting this gym, never waiting for squat rack-plenty of them. Same as benches.

Fantastic experience: It's what I need

Fantastic experience: Solid gym got a good price. Little bit crowded during the day but I'm more of a night owl anyway. Update: I am now on day shift in EMS and still like it. Update: Still on day shift. Still like it. Update: Yeah still the same Update: I'm now in Nursing School and still like it. Update: I work in an ER and I still like it

Fantastic experience: Eastside Gym is a no frills, cost-effective, and friendly place to work out. Have been going for 7+ years and love the management staff and the friendly workout friends I've met.

Fantastic experience: It is the cheapest gym, and I have got to say it rivals renown gyms, the trainers are amazing and the equipment and bars are high quality. Definitely give it a shot if you want to workout. Everyone is really friendly and you will always get a spot.

Fantastic experience: Great owners, great equipment, great culture. 10/10. Has to be my favorite gym in the USA.

Fantastic experience: Best value for money gym in Redmond!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym and the community is unbeatable

Fantastic experience: Great work out experience! No frills gym! Henry (one of the owners, was of exceptional help!)

Fantastic experience: Nice down to earth owner. Gym for those who come for a real work out instead of a fashion show.

Positive experience: Medium size space with all your equipment needs. It’s a little dated but I love it.

Fantastic experience: It is a serious bodybuilding/power lift gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. Owned by two professional power lifters and a great community of fitness advocates and enthusiast.

Fantastic experience: Great community, owner, trainers. Best gym on the East Side.

Negative experience: No social distancing. The owner is absolutely awful.

Fantastic experience: Love the vibe of this gym. Great price, super friendly owner, and 24 hour option of you purchase a year.

Fantastic experience: Man, I miss this gym. I used to go there every day. Lonnie is such a great guy. Always greeting when you get in and out. Respect everybody there you will have a great time. Lonnie helped me lose weight too, so do ask him about weight loss and muscle gain.

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about this place, been going here for over 10 years. The owner works to improve it as time goes on, good weight and cardio machine selection, and it never closes for members. Excellent price for a no frills, good quality gym. Not pretentious at all like some gyms. In 21 years of going to many different gyms, this is my favorite.

Fantastic experience: Read the reviews and decided to go to Eastside Gym this evening. Lonnie was very friendly, and I like the atmosphere. People seem pleasant and work hard. I'd love to come back!

Fantastic experience: Awesome Gym! Been working out here for 15 years. Clean gym, great people, no egos here. Just great workout vibes. Everything you need right here.
