Apex Fitness NW

Fantastic experience: All you have to do is show up, turn your brain off and breathe to get a great workout!!

Fantastic experience: Workouts are always thoughtful of all fitness levels, energy is upbeat and the people (staff and members) are extremely welcoming!

Fantastic experience: Such a well rounded work out!

Fantastic experience: I love this place! Danielle and Graham have cultivated such a welcoming, friendly and ass kicking environment. I highly recommend this space to everyone who is looking for a great workout with a community that is super supportive and knowledgeable. From the trainers to the people you’re working out next to, apex is exactly what you need.

Fantastic experience: I appreciate about Apex Fitness NW the well thought out and challenging workouts, and I especially appreciate just showing up and getting a great 45 minute workout without having to think about it.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! Stopped in for the summer and I’ve had some of the best workouts of my life. It’s Friday and I’m still sore from legs on Monday! Ha. Super nice people. Great coaching or tips to tell you how to improve posture or form. Love the format of “real” weights and strength training in a circuit format. Hard to find a gem like this. Looking forward to a few more workouts this summer and will be back next year!

Fantastic experience: All the trainers are so attentive and offer modifications if you need them. They push you just enough but also don't force you to do things you don't want to do if you're not feeling it physically or mentally. The space is open, bright, and nonjudgmental. Equipment is clean and updated on a regular basis. I love that apex partners with local businesses and members of the community in order to better everyone in and out of the gym. Even on days I don't feel like working out, I know that once I get to the gym and start moving, I'll instantly feel better!

Fantastic experience: I thought the community was incredibly warm and inviting, the workout was challenging and interesting, but also could be modified for various levels.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, great workout! And for my first week made me feel like I could ask any questions! All 5 trainers so far have been awesome!

Fantastic experience: This is my second week going to Apex and this is hands down the best gym I’ve been to. The group classes are SO motivational, everyone is so supportive and knows your name. The trainers are all SO knowledgeable and will help you do the exercises correctly which is so nice! I really love that each class targets a different muscle group and the exercises change a bit each week. Thank you Apex for everything!!!!!! ❤️

Fantastic experience: I started attending Apex classes a little over six months ago. The first class I was immediately greeted by the instructor, made to feel welcome, and prepared for what to expect. Danielle and Graham (owners) also each personally introduced themselves to me upon my first time in class with each of them. Throughout my time at Apex I’ve been received with nothing but friendliness and support by other members, most of whom went out of their way to ask my name and say hi in the beginning. I’ve been consistently attending class three times a week and have not only made friends that I see outside of the gym, but feel stronger, more confident and excited to show up to Apex every class. I couldn’t recommend the workouts or community more!

Fantastic experience: It was a safe space where I was challenged yet safe to land at my own level. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Danielle was a great instructor who was clear in instruction and levels of intensity. Price was very fair for a drop in.

Fantastic experience: Badass gym. Been going for about a year and it has been great. The instructors are knowledgeable and motivating.

Fantastic experience: Apex is such a unique and special gym. From the moment you walk in the door whether it's your 1st time or millionth time, you quickly realize and know that it is a "no judgement zone." It does not matter your fitness level (athletic or just beginning), what clothes you are wearing, etc. It is a come as you are, and you are accepted. Everyone is there to improve themselves: great or small. During your time there you also realize that there are absolutely no cliques, which is rare yet amazing. Everyone supports each other. Sure you will naturally gravitate towards certain people, but when life gets tough, as it will at some point or another, you soon realize that everyone from the gym starts to support you in ways you never imagined. It is more than a gym. It is far beyond a gym community. It is a gym family. I feel truly blessed to be surrounded by people who value their health and fitness, who strive to improve themselves, and be part of an amazing and supportive community. And of course, not to mention, the outgoing coaches who encourage and challenge you, and play the best motivating music that will have you wanting to push harder.

Fantastic experience: It is a great atmosphere to work out in. I feel pushed to challenge my body. The instructors are great leaders and encouragers.

Fantastic experience: Apex is amazing! If you like a challenge, motivating instructors and thumpin’ music, this the place for you. Hope to see you there soon!

Fantastic experience: Apex has been life changing for me and I appreciate the community so much.

Fantastic experience: Was sold on the idea of going when I heard that they don't have mirrors in there. :) It's a great, non judgemental environment - and as a complete gym noob, that's exactly what I need. I love the group environment because the social aspect means that I naturally end up pushing myself harder than I ever would on my own. At the same time, I modify sets if I'm starting to feel too tired, and that's okay too! The constant rotation of the circuits is fantastic. I love just showing up and being told what to do - there's no guessing whether it'll be an effective workout. Can't wait to see my progress! Thanks to Danielle, Graham, and all the trainers!

Fantastic experience: Apex offers a space where you can come for a workout and leave taking home so much more than sweaty clothes and a feeling of satisfaction. You leave with a smile on your face because you were challenged by trainers and peers who genuinely care about you both inside and outside of the gym.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout, had a great time and was worked hard. One thing for people to be aware of is the music is great and fits the energy, but way too loud. My friend and I both had significant hearing damage, similar to if we were at a concert with no ear plugs. Just unnecessarily loud. So if you go, just be ready for that.

Fantastic experience: Loving it so far! Everyone is very friendly and my legs and arms are dying of soreness so it must be working

Fantastic experience: Fun and friendly community, amazing instructors, lots of variety so it never gets boring and it's a great workout!!

Fantastic experience: It's been such a joy to work out here!

Fantastic experience: This gym is incredible. I have been going regularly for over a year and am so grateful for the friendly and welcoming community that Danielle and Graham have built. All the trainers are great, across the board, and very inspiring and encouraging. The workouts are challenging and fun and I’ve met a lot of really nice people through class. This is one of my favorite local businesses in Bellingham!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here for few months now and Apex is the best gym community I’ve ever experienced. The community is very inclusive, welcoming, motivating, and safe. The trainers strike such a perfect balance between motivating you and pushing you harder than you thought you could go. All you have to do is show up and leave the rest to them. They’re there to push you and are hypervigilant about form (I swear Danielle has eyes in the back of her head). The workouts always vary in design but never vary in intensity– they truly make you find your peak. At Apex, I can do in 45 min what would take me hours in the weight room. That said, each station has inclusive modifications for every fitness level and the trainers are there to get you to your goal– whatever that is for you. The classes at Apex will challenge and push you whether you’re coming back to the gym for the first time since COVID started or if you’re already in tip top shape. Plus, there are so many class times to choose from each day that it’s easy to fit into a busy schedule. They have handled the pandemic so well. As a healthcare worker, I am particularly aware of COVID risks and precautions and Apex has done a great job of keeping their facility, structure, and workouts COVID safe. Apex has been adapting to COVID at each stage of this pandemic better than any other gym I’ve been to and I’m thankful to them for that. I’ve been to several HIIT gyms around bham over the years and Apex is top notch. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Fantastic experience: Apex is the most amazing gym and community I've ever been apart of! They respond to inquiries or questions immediately and are so on top of making sure their clients are satisfied in the gym, with the process of signing up for classes, their online platform, and taking care of their clients safety and health. I am so grateful for the knowledge each of their trainers brings to their classes. They remember details about your health and fitness to ensure that you are safe and making personal growth. I cannot recommend Apex Fitness NW enough to anyone looking for a good workout! As for Covid: they have been so accommodating to make sure EVERYONE feels safe in the gym and making accommodations for those who don't feel safe in public places. There is something for everyone's needs during this pandemic.

Fantastic experience: Apex is an amazing gym that truly cares about its members. They design great workouts that make you feel accomplished when you’re done. They have taken steps to make sure their facility is clean and sanitized to protect against Covid-19. Give Apex a try and I’m certain you will be hooked!

Fantastic experience: Never have I ever liked to workout... until I found Apex. Now I look forward to getting to the gym after work! I have so much fun during the workout, even when they are brutal. Thanks Apex for helping me discover a healthier version of myself.

Fantastic experience: My happy place!

Fantastic experience: Great gym and team environment. Loud music. Like really loud....

Fantastic experience: I was very hesitant to return to the gym while still dealing with the pandemic. However I have been so impressed with the way that Apex owners Graham and Danielle have handled the re-opening. Every station is equipped with disinfectant cleaning tools and there are never more than the allowed number of people in the gym at a time.They take your temperature before entering, and masks are worn when walking around inside. It is without a doubt a very clean and safe environment and I am very thankful to belong to a gym that is taking this so seriously.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, inclusive environment, clean and fun way to work out! Coaches always offer modifications if needed and push and motivate you!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Apex Fitness since they opened up early August. I keep coming every day because they conduct each workout safely and responsibly with respect to Covid 19. Each person has their designated area and is responsible for wiping down and cleaning everything we touch. They have given me the freedom to give it my all without compromise to health and safety.

Fantastic experience: Passionate and fantastic coaches, clean and new equipment, awesome music and inspiring fitness community.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! Great experience, awesome owners and trainers! I have been going for 6 weeks now and I have to say that I am hooked. I have always been an active person but never been a regular gym goer, and Apex has changed my perception of what a gym can be. With the high variety and combination of exercises I really feel that I am becoming stronger and healthier throughout my whole body. After just a short time I can already feel the strength I have gained here impacting the other activities I do outside of Apex. I will definitely continue to go to Apex.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, good community. Encouraging people of all walks of life and stages of fitness to push themselves. I've been attending classes for over 6 months, and there consistently are new exercises & circuits still.

Fantastic experience: My experience with apex has been amazing especially during my pregnancy! The trainers were very accommodating and making sure that I was comfortable and able to do certain workouts. If there was a certain workout that I couldn’t do they would always modify it. Trainers were very helpful with checking on how I felt during workouts. They made sure the workouts were safe for my pregnancy. Apex has been by far the best fitness class I have attended!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym for so many reasons! Fun and challenging workouts that change regularly, very accepting community of all fitness levels, and great trainers! I am a physical therapist and get many patients who have been injured secondary to trainers pushing them too hard or not having the skill to teach them proper technique. My first class one of the lead trainers encouraged me to slow down a bit and not push too hard, and he actually was able to see signs of my fatigue before I felt light headed and he encouraged me to take a rest break. That went a long way for building my trust in the trainers. They are both encouraging and have a trained eye to notice when form is breaking down and are able to effectively teach safe lifting technique. Additionally, they notice when I am not pushing my self enough and kindly walk over to me with some heavier weights and a smile. I am in the best shape I’ve been since college and I look forward to getting my butt kicked in the workouts. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Apex Fitness NW for over a year now. The things I like most about this gym are 1) I never get bored with the HIIT circuit training workouts, 2) it is a mix of cardio and strength, 3) despite it being a group class, you can easily tailor most of the exercises to your fitness level/ability/physical limitations and 4) it is a fun, welcoming, diverse and positive environment not dominated by masculinity ;). The last thing is that the strength, stamina and agility you gain from these workouts can compliment any other physical activities you already do (biking, running, swimming, skiing, hiking, etc.).

Fantastic experience: Attending Apex for the first time was scary for me. I was not confident in my weight lifting abilities, and had a fear of embarrassing myself. But as soon as I completed my first workout, I was hooked. I found that although the exercises seemed challenging, the trainers were right there helping me with form and modifying when needed (which was a lot at first). Everyone working out with me was so encouraging. I thought that the gym might feel competitive, or cliquish, but I found the opposite to be true. I am stronger now than I ever was in my 20s, even after having a baby. I thought I would never get back to the same physical shape I was in after having my son, but with Apex I am so much stronger than I was before I had him.

Fantastic experience: Well run. Challenging interval training. Nice people.
