Seattle Athletic Club

Fantastic experience: All the weight and aerobic equipment I need. Clean. Sort of plush compared to LA fitness signature club and Olympic Athletic Club. Way better than 24 hour fitness. Provide towels, big lockers, men and women each have jaccuzi, steam room, and sauna and nice showers...

Fantastic experience: This is the top gym in Seattle. I use the pool and weights. This isn't the meat market that so many gyms are. Always well maintained and clean.

Fantastic experience: Lovely place, highly recommend! It is old gym, but my husband and I love this Gym. There are many reasons why we love this gym so much; Staff and trainers are awesome, good events which enhance health and good family bonding, no shallow people who come to gym which annoy others, but solid good people who care about health, and wonderful day care center. The members LOVE this gym and stay long~ time. We are leaving because of moving out from Seattle, but I will surely miss this gym very much! 10 out of 10!

Fantastic experience: Awesome....let's set the ping pong table up in the lounge area upstairs over in the corner over looking pool...best place

Fantastic experience: Has all the gym equipment you need and more

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I am happy about the whole layout. They did a fantastic job getting the club set up for people to return. I am thrilled they paid enough attention to our concerns, vaccinated or not, and got everything sorted for us effectively.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Just a quick mention for anyone who may be reading with COVID-19 concerns (and after all, who doesn’t have those?). SAC carefully follows all recommended safety measures and guidelines and even posts and updates them on their site.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Seattle Athletic Club is just like going to an overly expensive luxury club but without that luxury cost! I would say this place is spot on in regards to equipment offering and space to those other places. Plus everyone is more open and more welcoming to each other.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality It took nothing more than their 1-Day Trial Pass offer to convince me I had found the right place for me to work out. The professional qualified staff deliver the exact amount of motivation I will need to bring health and fitness back into my life.

Fantastic experience: My husband, Robert Mussehl, has been a member of the the Seattle Athletic Club since 2003, when we joined with a family membership to give our then 7 year old son, Omar Chung Mussehl, the opportunity to join the junior squash program, and learn to play squash from TOP professional squash coaches., such a the Khan family. The coaching was outstanding, and Omar obtained excellent skills that allowed him to play as a starter for the George Washington University Varsity squash team for 4 years! Robert goes to the club about 6 days a week and has been able to keep fit and healthy. He loves the staff, who are very helpful and supportive, as well as the variety of activities that are both fun and rewarding, and promote his excellent health and mental frame of mind! He always talks in superlatives when the subject of the Seattle Athletic comes up in conversations. He plan to be member for the rest of his life!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The lock-down of 2020 made me gain some unwanted weight. Now that the Seattle Athletic Club is open for business in a much larger way, I am ready to make that commitment to take off the weight and that is the place to get it done.

Fantastic experience: This club did a great job helping us through covid and staying healthy. I couldn't be happier and I was able to keep some kind of healthy routine. When things opened back up, they have been great about keeping things clean. The class sizes have changed and everything looks great and covid aware. Makes me feel at home here, despite the rise of the virus again.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality We are a very athletic family, which is why we joined the Seattle Athletics club. There is something for everyone in the family. My daughter swims, my son lifts weights, then there is the Pilates and Squash where we both participate.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality When covid required us to shift things around, I was impressed with what the club did for us. Creating so many online classes kept me connected and healthy on routine despite lockdown. This is a wonderful adjustment.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I was so sick of doing yoga alone in my apartment. The Seattle Athletics club is starting to come back to life again. It is opening up for classes. As soon as

Fantastic experience: I am extremely grateful to the Seattle Atheletic Club for the excellent quality and service they provide to it's members. I consider what they offer as an improtant part of the lifestyle that I wish to maintain where optimal health is of prime importance. For myself and others, SAC has been a God send during these challenging times when we need to maintain our active and vibrant lifestyle. Without SAC, the COVID_19 lockdown while being a senor member and former professional athelete recovering from double knee surgery would have been much more difficult to healing with the resulting inactivtiy. I am so pleased to be back in balance with my health and wellness, as it continues to offer me wonderful resources for optimal health. They follow the strictest Covid guidelines and is kept sanitize, clean and welcoming by a most friendly and professional staff and personnel. .I have decades of experience and participation in various Clubs and find it to be the best of the best.. .

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Going to Seattle Athletic Club reminds me of going to a bar just to hang out and meet with friends. I like this place because it’s a clean cut and classy group of people that are respectful to each other and to the cleanliness of the machines.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Their family membership is being utilized to the max by us. We all have very different goals but we are all finding the tools to meet those goals here at SAC. Their wide range of classes, programs and events ensures that each and every one of us is kept motivated.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love outdoor bike riding but everyone knows how reliable our weather isn’t in Seattle. Their virtual rides through Wexer are an outstanding alternative for me. With SAC’s instructors pushing me, I know I am cycling much closer to my full potential as I would be outdoors on my own.

Fantastic experience: With my high school reunion approaching at the speed of light, I needed help fast. I didn’t want to just look as good as I did when I graduated, I wanted to look better. Personal Fitness Trainer Lisa to the rescue with a personalized workout just for me. I am going to blow my graduating class members away, especially a certain someone.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The best gym I've ever belonged to! The staff is excellent, the facilities are clean, and the classes are always fun. They especially went above and beyond during covid by keeping everyone updated, motivated with online classes, and making sure everything was as safe as possible when they were able to open.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality April 7th seems to be my lucky day. The Seattle Athletics club was opened for power cycling classes again. It has been way too long since I have been able to do my thing. And I am looking forward to getting back in shape.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of SAC since 1995. During that time I've been a platinum member and have utilized every service and facility the club offers. Depending on how my day was and what I am my mood is I can drop in and use the Cardio room, vast Weight Room, Squash Courts, Lap Pool or pick-up Basketball. Sometimes it may just be a massage from one the many capable massage therapists’ and a visit to the steam room or sauna, but always ending my workout with a relaxing visit to the jacuzzi. The club offers a wide variety of personal trainers with years of experience between them and all the staff from the front desk to housekeeping are always friendly and helpful. More than anything there is a great sense of community that I have not experienced at any other club. This club has really been an important part of my life and I have made many acquaintances and great friends thru my daily workouts and club functions. An added benefit is the great location at the foot of Pike Market and easy access to the waterfront. Lots of outstanding restaurants in the neighborhood or places to meet for happy hour. This club really has it all, and more! I am certain it will exceed your expectations

Fantastic experience: I love SAC Downtown! It has exactly what I need regardless of my specific workout. For me this includes – full weightlifting equipment (squat racks always available, ancillary equipment like decline benches, KBs and DBs), concept2 ergs and ski ergs, indoor track, plentiful ellipticals and treadmills, battle ropes, 20-yard pool, locker room with amenities including towels, and (hopefully again soon!) a kids club for my kiddos. I also take advantage of private swim lessons for the kids (additional fee). They have remained open during COVID with a new reservation system to keep from getting crowded and ongoing cleaning, and masks and vaccine requirements as mandated. In non-COVID times and for additional fees, I can get in a workout while my kids hang out in Kids Club, and bring guests. Very convenient location from Amazon buildings near the Spheres – I change in those locker rooms and run over (.6 miles) so can go whenever I can squeeze into the work day. I have nothing but good things to say about this club. It has its quirks and the facility is not glamorous, but it will have exactly what you need and you’ll never not be able to get on the equipment.

Fantastic experience: This is the best gym I’ve ever been to. The staff are knowledgeable and compassionate and the equipment is top notch!!

Fantastic experience: Great urban gym with 5-lane swimming pool, basketball court, weights, machines, and an abundance of squash courts (and dedicated squash community). Really appreciate how seriously they are taking Covid with the reservation system/mask and distancing signage/added cleaning precautions. It’s clear the staff are working extra hard to make this happen - thank you!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Nutrition plays such an important role in fitness. I really struggled with planning meals that would enhance my workouts and make sure I was keeping my diabetes in check and staying safe. The guidance Haley provides virtually has me firmly on the right track.

Fantastic experience: TLDR: - Personal training at SAC has changed my quality of life - SACdt has everything: Pool, squash courts, indoor track, mini climbing machine, basketball, body-composition machines, personal trainers, water aerobics, massages, boxing room---it is the most full-service gym I have ever been to. - It's located right in Pike Place Market. - COVID safe: Everything is cleaned each hour; Everyone is wearing masks; They did something cool to the HVAC system (no pun intended). --------------------------------- The Long Version (written after the gym over a few days): It's 10:15am and I just left my personal training session with Lisa at Seattle Athletic Club in downtown Seattle (SACdt)...and I feel so ENERGIZED! What do I mean by energized? You know the term "runner's high" that no one except runners seems to know---well, I am fairly certain this is what they mean (or as close as I'll ever get to it, because I am no runner). I am in my mid-thirties with a disability that has me in chronic pain, but I feel so much better on days I work out that it has become an absolute must for me to be at the SACdt. My mood is better, I'm getting strong, and my health is improving, but most importantly, I just feel my best on days I work out. 1.5 years ago, I was in a wheelchair after major hip/back surgeries and weak as a baby, but through hard work, personal training, water aerobics, and dedication, I am walking, in the gym 5-6 times a week, and STRONG. COVID safety: This is going to sound cheesy, but it's true: I feel safer at the gym than I do at the doctor's office based on how well SACdt is keeping it clean. From the start, SACdt implemented thorough rules for keeping members safe at the gym, but their cleaning team is keeping it sterilized! They have an app to pick specific times to come in, there are limitations to five people per room in each session, in-between sessions their house-cleaning team cleans every machine and apparatus, they are checking temps at the front desk, and everyone is wearing masks. EDIT: I had to take three weeks off the gym due to injury, and today (my first day back) has me feeling rejuvenated and motivated again. I didn’t realize how down I was getting not being there the past few weeks.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have my new job to thank for my new interest in working out. My company offers a SAC membership as a health benefit. I just completed my first week of working out and I’m a bit sore but it’s sore in a good way. I love everything I’m learning here from the super professional and friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful to be back! Great classes, nice people and excellent clean facilities!

Fantastic experience: The people here are amazing. Despite the health situation they continued to offer suggestions and options to stay healthy. Coming back here is natural. I love this place and the people here.

Fantastic experience: I'm glad this is the club I'm at. They are friendly, fantastic, fun people who are always encouraging.

Fantastic experience: They have so many classes here. It’s something I need in order not to get bored and just quit. I’m glad that is not the case here. There is always something fun going on.

Fantastic experience: Great Place! Member here for multiple years- great gym to join!

Fantastic experience: Excellent facilities and wonderful staff. The instructors for swimming and cycling classes are top notch. I would highly recommend this club especially if you are living in the downtown area.

Fantastic experience: Best place for every workout. They have saunas and hot tubs! Love the racket ball and fitness classes. I am a member for life.

Fantastic experience: Seattle Athletic Club is a great place to train and elevate your game. The staff is super friendly, the instructors are great, the group classes really fun and motivating and the club truly supports their members with one-to-one sessions, advices, etc... Plus they have all the facilities (from an indoor running track to a 20-yards pool), right in the city center. I can only recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: 4 on 4 mid-day pick-up basketball is popular and competitive, with a team or two waiting MWF. I have done a few of the workout classes, and the instructors have been up-peat and fun. I have found the staff to be generally pleasant and the facilities satisfactory over the last year.

Fantastic experience: Love working out here. Gym is “ old school “ and unpretentious... but amenities and the staff are great. So clean !!! ... so well stocked!!! .... every thing is so well thought out !!!:-) The gym is spread out into different rooms so you concentrate on your workout ,- never have I had to wait for a machine. There is a “ living room “ and a cafe with plenty of seating, so you will never find people just laying around taking up space ( Iv was a member of LA fitnesses and this club is worlds apart ) .... it’s like a little home away from home

Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been at in Seattle. Pool, basketball, squash, weights, pilates, aerobics, yoga, cycling, running, massage, sauna, etc. Staff is very professional and the teachers/trainers are 1st class

Fantastic experience: The SAC downtown is the best club that we've ever belonged to. Wonderful staff, who create a real community. At the same time, if you just want to come in, work out and go, that works, too. We also especially appreciate that we can work out in peace, with no blaring piped-in music. Many free classes available as part of membership, and individual sessions with trainers are available as well. We couldn't recommend the SAC more highly.

Fantastic experience: Our family loves SAC Downtown! What do we love? So many options -- weights, swimming/swim team, basketball, indoor track, training, yoga classes, barre classes, ab classes, pilates classes, cycling, sauna, steam room. The staff is always friendly and helpful and it always feels clean although it is an aging facility. Great community! We've not yet taken advantage of any of the additional community opportunities outside of the club but hope to someday.

Fantastic experience: Great place to get a work-out in with an awesome location. Clean, spacious work-out rooms. Employees are incredibly friendly. Changing rooms are clean. Overall solid gym.

Fantastic experience: Being a member here is great. I'm so happy I joined. This place is much better than other gyms in the area.

Fantastic experience: Compared to a lot of athletic clubs in Seattle, it is an amazing place to work out. Weight room, good sized locker rooms, cardio rooms, etc. I have just began going here last week and I will be back!

Fantastic experience: Love it! I go there to work out - I don't care about how sweaty or how bad I look in my workout clothes. The staff is kind, the bathrooms are clean, and there's always a nice place to relax.

Fantastic experience: They must have done a complete revamp of their approach to customer service because my experience with this club has been nothing short of awesome from the jump. Every single person on staff I've interacted with is friendly and helpful and not at all pretentious. I never feel out of place or unwelcome; in fact, they know me by name already and it's barely been a month. The variety of services they offer is great, the facilities are great, but I think my personal favorite I'd have to say: the smoothies. Haha. They lowkey (or maybe highkey) changed my life!

Fantastic experience: The amenities and facility is fantastic. Everything is included in membership and you get so much for your money. But the difference between SAC and a regular gym is that they have the staff that genuinely care about you and your wellbeing!

Fantastic experience: Leaving my last gym and getting a membership here was a great decision. Seattle Athletic club offers so much more than a regular gym. You can find a treadmill anywhere, but this is a real club.

Fantastic experience: I fell in love with SAC first time coming here—it has a basketball court and spa which is everything I need. The staff also magically recognizes everyone so it feels more homely than those gyms that you have to scan your card every time. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best gym in Seattle. I travel often from California and this is my first-choice gym. The staff is amazing, the gym is spacious and clean. They also have great classes and people are so friendly!

Fantastic experience: This isn't your typical gym. The gym's I've been a member of in the past aren't even close to reaching the exclusivity of this one. I really enjoy it each time I come.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for years. Just feels like home, super helpful and friendly staff. The place is clean!!!! Excellent equipment, friendly clientele, I always leave with a smile on my face.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, facilities and a community that makes you feel welcomed. What impresses me the most is that the staff here are genuinely focused on helping you reach your goals. 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was in Seattle for a week and this gym provided the perfect space for regular workouts. Equipment is plentiful and the weights area was never too crowded (a big advantage over my gym at home!). The staff were able to organise a satisfying short-term membership deal for my girl and me which was much appreciated. The class schedule is also appealing, though we didn't attempt any during our stay.
