Emerald City Athletics - Everett

Fantastic experience: I don’t see what all the complaining is about! During the time that I’ve been a member I’ve found the staff very friendly and accommodating, it seems that everyone who works there knows your name and their quick to say hi or have a good workout. At no time from when I did my orientation (almost a year ago) through today has there been any pressure to buy products or services. The clientele that utilizes Emerald City Athletics are a broad spectrum of people from those that are just starting to work out for the first time in 20-30 years or those that are in the gym every single day; there is something for everyone. To those that complain about the facilities themselves, its true it’s an older building, however the owners and management team are constantly looking at ways to make improvements while not interrupting their members’ workouts. • To Dan S. - who complains about kids running around in the gym; first off never seen it and secondly if that did happen shame on the parents for not controlling their kids. • To C Bella - what do you want someone to sugar coat the facts; it’s your trainer’s responsibility to lay out the facts to you. All in all this is a good place to get your workout! The place is clean, safe and there is varying type of equipment to please most anyone. And the staff, they’ll make you feel right at home. I joined this gym almost a year ago and with the help encouragement of my trainer I’ve lost the necessary weight to please my doctor, I’ve been able to stop taking diabetic medication, I feel better and I enjoy to interaction with the staff. My thanks to my trainer Austin for keeping me motivated!

Fantastic experience: it is good clean has water fountaining vending machine always an equipment to use no one is taken and fun, with also a basketball court

Fantastic experience: Very nice and super sweet staff. Clean facilities and positive atmosphere. Verity of workout machine and my personal fav the pool, hot tub (even though it's super annoyingly loud cause it needs to be serviced) and sauna.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a quick workout before work. Had an issue with billing that Cirena solved for me in a heartbeat. Great friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: All of the equipment you could want in a great space. Alexis at the front desk was very professional and welcoming to see first thing in the morning. Answered all of my questions and I couldn't recommend this gym more after my experience.

Fantastic experience: Major improvement with staff. I've been here four years Great staff(Most of the time )very clean.

Fantastic experience: Very professional gym with good trainers and lots of membership options. There are quite a few hidden fees off the bat so just beware, it’s a reasonable monthly price however! There are massage chairs, tanning beds, and a pool, sauna and steam room that come with the $38 a month amenities membership. The $17 membership is for the weight and cardio room only. Very clean gym, lots of workout programs. Very friendly staff, and good gym hours.

Fantastic experience: Its a great place to start from scratch. With multiples of the most popular machines and setups, unless its peak hours, you should have no problem getting to use what you need. I currently partake in the champions program. No matter who the trainer is, they are guaranteed to be well informed on proper technique. They are very sociable and I enjoy having worked with all of them! It's a great blend of cardiovascular and physical endurance that changes everyday.Taking a weight loss journey serious, I finally started on it at the beginning of the year. Happily now 70 pounds down in 10months... And the 1st thing people should know is no gym will do that for you, You have to have the desire and drive and motivation and sometimes it takes a while to earn it. I have made many friends along my journey, all of which are there for their own personal gain but are happy to encourage everyone else around them! If you ever see the not so chubby-anymore, blonde guy sweating way more than he probably should in the hours of 5 and 6 AM, that's me! Please come and say hello and I welcome all new potential workout partners! Can't wait to see you here!

Fantastic experience: A decent price range establishment with a lot of hidden fees. I personally believe this place should mindfully work with current enrolled student athletes with the admission of parent or guardian and along with that having a set price for students who may be in college and are 18 years or older and can buy there own membership.I personally think this establishment is the best i have ever seen based on the everything that has been presented thank you to the fellow Dallas who showed me everything that Emerald City has to offer.Although in the past i have encountered very unpleasing, disturbing, rude and disrespectful behavior from a staff member his name is Zach i have unpleasantly encountered his disrespectfulness the first time and had nothing to say because i personally did not want to take a negative route because being a young black kid in a area such as so and showing anger can lead to unwanted attention. The first time i encountered Zach i was playing basket with my friend Daniel but before we had even entered this gym he stated to me he had a membership with a guest pass he just has to scan his card and we would both be cleared i led with it because to me it sounded authentic and i have been through the same process accessing gyms in the past but i was not fully aware of the rules hoping sympathy would be shown for two young men trying to enjoy basketball for an hour with maybe future intentions of buying a membership in the future. Unfortunately Zach changed all of that for me in a very non positive way by coming to me and the first words he says is “You cant be in here” i asked why he continues on by saying “We did not see you scan by the front desk” i told him i am with a friend and he has a guest past. He then ask “are you 18”? I said yes he ask for ID did not have ID on me at the moment. Because of that he ask me and my friend Daniel to leave because we did not have ID. He then quotes “You have crocs on and your playing basketball i don't want you getting hurt and suing us”. I said well i have shoes and he was in constant refusal to letting us continue playing basketball so i told my friend Daniel no need to argue and we left by his demand. The second time i encountered Zach i had totally forgot about that past situation until he lead on to his own actions but before things had gotten out of proportion he had presented me a $20 free day trial so i could basketball inside a safe environment. As i started playin id say 45 minutes of hard playing basketball i was taking a break drying of sweat so i took my shirt of and walked to the bathroom to dry myself as i was walking back to the bathroom Zach stopped me to say “ Dont be be walking around here like that” in a very aggressive tone. So my moralistic demeanor triggered me into pretty much telling him to watch his tone because i felt disrespected as a human be-in just by his tone of voice. I continued in a strict and direct tone by saying you dont know me bro keep it pushing and responds back “You dont know me either” literally challenging me and before things escalated this lovely lady with glasses defused the problem by properly explaining that i should wear a shirt.

Fantastic experience: Excellent facility, awesome staff, SAUNA, and the InBody system is incredibly helpful, thanks Paul for helping me out today!

Fantastic experience: I wanna give a quick shoutout to a young man name Rylee who works at Emerald City Athletics. I came in inquiring to sign up for a membership and he was very polite and helpful while giving me a tour and information. He made me feel encouraged and I didn’t feel pressured to sign up! I definitely will be returning when ready to take that step…thank you Rylee for that experience

Fantastic experience: I Love the basketball court, the pull-up bars, the amount of space there is! So many gyms are tight in space but the Everett Emerald City Athletics has plenty of space to workout while it's busy, while remaining not too spacious. To tie it all together, the employees are simply delightful.

Fantastic experience: Great place to start working out.super friendly staff and clean equipment. Definitely recommend joining champions if you want to get into shape but don't want the hassle of creating your own workouts

Fantastic experience: I've been here for a little over a year now, and have enjoyed my time working out and playing basketball at this ECA location. Every staff member that I have encountered during their time at ECA, has been extremely friendly and welcoming. Shoutout to Sky, Greg, Rashaad, and Saamie, and the rest of the ECA crew for making this gym a great experience!

Fantastic experience: 5 stars. The Champions training staff and program are unique, offering expert coaching, training and regular accountability. From Olympic lifting to cardio and total body fitness, the trainers build rapport, motivate and will scale and modify to your abilities. The other members keep me accountable as well. Great value.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member for a week however I’ve been going to the gym for about 3 weeks now due to the 14 day pass I was given. I decided to get the champion membership The classes are amazing You actually feel like you’re working out and the instructors are always around making sure you’re doing the exercises correctly. Another thing that really drew me into this facility is the energy you see from the members, everyone seems so dedicated and supportive of one another, after my first class so many people were giving me props for sticking it through the end. Also last but deff not least nothing feels better than a nice jacuzzi after your work out

Fantastic experience: Great Gym and Community hands down! Never a dull moment at the Everett ECA location. We work hard towards our goals due to the well laid out Champion Workouts that are setup for us daily. Theres continuous support from our coaches & friends when taking on challenges and Set Focused classes. Not to mention our monthly group parties where we gather and have fun growing our ECA Family. #ECA #Everett #FitFam

Fantastic experience: They got me! This place is fantastic and I love the Champions classes. Coaches Steph and Greg are awesome. They’ve helped me move towards my goals tremendously and I have total confidence in their coaching. I was apprehensive for a long time in joining a new gym and I’m glad I chose this one.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to ECA for a few years. Everyone has always been very nice and helpful. All the trainers in the Champs classes are incredibly knowledgeable and have taught me how to lift with proper technique. High fives and fist bumps are the norm! Best place around

Fantastic experience: Walked in to talk with someone about the 14 day free trial. Leilani meet with me and did a complete body composition analysis with me. She went over explaining what would help me meet my goals by talking with me about nutrition and what I can eat to help me out. She was very knowledgeable on the topic and offered great advice. She is very friendly and extremely helpful. Walked me around the gym and explained each area to me. Setting up time for first workout with her. Had knee replacement 10 years ago and she understands I need to slowly get back to exercising without having a set back.

Fantastic experience: Easy access in Everett, lots of parking, plenty of weight lifting equipment to choose from, cardio is always open, and a great (small) pool, sauna and steam room. But you should expect all that for a good gym. ECA also runs multiple fitness/performance classes a day (where your body pleads and screams for the sweet release of death, but your eyes do not open to Peter at the pearly gates, but stinging sweat and Steph yelling "don't stop moving!"), and once a month you run an InBody check for detailed results of body development so you know what is working well, and what needs changed. It is also great because it verifies when you are losing fat (my pants fit so much better, but the scale only dropped 2 lbs!). Thanks Eli and Leilani for being generous with your time and answering my many questions!

Fantastic experience: Hailey is the best ...this is an awesome gym ,got started with her a yr ago and she's still with me. Amazing results.

Fantastic experience: Overall great gym. One of the employees Sky is very welcoming each time a member comes into the gym. She did my in body & was very knowledgeable on her job. One of the best tours I’ve been given. Such a hard worker and always has a smile on her face. 10 stars to you Sky. Thank you for your great service !

Fantastic experience: I've been a member since the gym first opened. I've always had a positive experience especially with Hailey, thank you for being friendly and awesome!

Fantastic experience: I joined the gym when covid started and I’ve been impressed with the club since. One of the employees Hailey always goes above and beyond and says hi every time I’m in. She is always cheerful and helpful. The staff is great and keeps up on maintenance

Fantastic experience: I like this place, I’ve been to a few gyms and this one is much better then most. Good equipment Good environment No annoying people, everyone just does their thing and enjoys their time. Staff are helpful and I haven’t had a bad experience. Idk, some reviews said no one said hi. It’s a gym, not a meet and great. I have recommended this place for all of my friends. Muv doesn’t even let you carry bags inside. And LA won’t stop calling you. Ever.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for 13 years. I feel connected, alive and happy to be here. I come nearly everyday to try and get better. This gym helped me overcome personal matters. I love using the basketball court. I see this gym and the staff very friendly. Hailey really encourages me. I have lost 50lbs so far and I want to get the best version of myself.

Fantastic experience: STEPHANIE IS A BADASS TRAINER! Takes time to teach proper techniques and the gym is overall a welcoming and good experience! Definitely do recommend

Fantastic experience: Nice gym for what I want to do, lots of reviews say that the salespeople were shady but I didn't feel like that at all. Leilani was awesome.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for awhile & even after taking a month off from the gym I had decided to come back because of the environment being great & the receptionist Alexus. She really made me feel welcomed & always had a positive attitude. Her energy, attitude, & work ethics were really good. I appreciated & admired it enough to want to come back to the gym.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful fitness experience. Visiting Everett for work, staying at a nearby hotel, staff was helpful getting me set up with a short term membership, specifically Dave. Large selection of fitness equipment so you can find an exercise you want even when the facility is busy.

Positive experience: Great facility, staff is friendly and helpful. Good size parking lot. I've only used the workout facilities & have not used the pool area. They have a child care facility on site so that's convenient for parents. Basketball courts are nice and kept up from what I can tell, and the TV's are all working. I really appreciate the compartment of workout rooms which is what does it for me, the free weight rooms options are great. The elliptical, bike machines and stair climber machines in one huge room is nice as well. I like that there is an ab focus room all by itself.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality A very "mom & pop's" gym that focuses more on customer satisfaction than anything. They have some very unique equipment for a well rounded workout and a large 2 story facility with enough space for any activity.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is so helpful. ECA is family. If you are looking for a place to work out this is the spot. Come see any of the awesome trainers and fitness coaches. All are professional helpful and give positive reinforcement. They helped me reach my goals. If you are in need of a personal trainer come see gregarious he has many years of experience and very helpful.

Fantastic experience: I've worked here before becoming a member. After I stopped working here, there was no doubt what gym to join. This gym feels like a community and they truly care about getting members to see results. Always and upbeat energetic place. Front desk is helpful and friendly, especially Robert. He has always been able give me the exact information I'm looking for and doesn't fail to crack me up. Def recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of big corporate owned gyms for decades ..but I recently became a member of emerald city athletic.. My first experience with a call to the front desk to inquire about memberships ..was answered by Robert...he was very informative prompt and professional with his answers . He made an appt for me to meet general manager Hailey..who has the most infectious positive energy . She was very accommodating with her time giving me an amazing presentation walk through of the gym facility . Hailey introduced me to the owner Leon that was very personable and open minded of ideas to grow his gym memberships through organized basketball runs ..for adults and the younger teens . It truly feels like a family atmosphere with the ECA staff...always greeting all members with a smile and kind words. I feel like I finally found a home gym for my daily or weekly workouts !

Fantastic experience: I have been with them for about 10 years now. The equipment is always working and there’s enough for everyone. The staff is always so friendly, polite, knowledgeable, and helpful. The prices are very good and their programs like “Training for Champions” is one of the best I’ve ever done. The personal trainers were awesome at understanding my back issues and always modified the exercises in ways that I could do. Jerica was awesome giving me killer workouts that kept me motivated and going night after night. Robert is the friendliest one. He’s always so helpful and understanding. I definitely recommend this gym and I wouldn’t want to go meet my physical goals anywhere else. Easily 5 stars hands down.

Fantastic experience: I've struggled for the last year and a half to get back in the gym and was paying for another gym but it just didn't have that motivational feel. One tour at ECA and I felt right at home and comfortable. If you go in and your considering this place, ask for Cassidy! She explained everything perfectly, showed me everything I would need to set myself up for success and made me feel incredibly at ease and welcomed into the ECA family.

Fantastic experience: I've been going here for a few years now and babe continuously been making improvements in every way. I especially respect and I'm thankful that they actually read the mandates all the way through. Thank you

Fantastic experience: Robert keeps this place on its feet, give this man a raise. Pretty cool to see how involved the owner Leon is, good stuff. Good renovations, nice.

Fantastic experience: Hailey is awesome!!!! Best manager ever. This place is my second home! Great environment and people. Robert is also awesome :)

Fantastic experience: Great value for a newly revamped gym. I've begun going there a few months, but my husband has been a member for 8 years. When they started the renovations, I joined and have been very impressed. It was less for a membership then I could get with the discount through my employer for other gyms in the area, and the staff is so friendly and encouraging. Other gyms never seemed to remember my face, but this gym has a consistent staff who cheer the regulars on, even if you never paid for extra training or perks. Now that they are back open (phase 2, COVID-19), they are taking all the precautions. And making sure their patrons do too.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since August 2020 and I love this gym. All the staff are super fun and friendly, but today I want to say JP went the extra mile. He showed me such kindness and that he has a dedication to improving fitness for all at this gym. He was waiting for his class to fill and it was past time and noone was showing up. He saw me and asked me if I would like a personalized nutrition and exercise program coaching session since his class did not show. Not only did a get a revamped and more targeted routine and nutrition plan, but now I feel more comfortable to attend the Champion's class. Thanks, JP! And thanks ECA for being my happy place!

Fantastic experience: I’ve lost 90 pounds since joining here and it is the best most supportive atmosphere to work out in. I highly recommend the weekly boot camps and champions club. I’ve also really enjoyed the new improvements to the building and the group classes. Thanks for a great place to work on myself. If you are considering joining a gym do yourself a favor and come here, it’s literally the best decision I’ve ever made.

Fantastic experience: Such an amazing place to work out! The staff is so welcoming and inviting, this gym has the most positive vibe gyms I have ever been too. Both my husband and I signed up for a lifestyle change and working with Katrina has really done just that. She is one of the most encouraging trainers I have ever worked with. I have become so much stronger in just the short time I've been there and that is all due to her detailed plan that she gave me. I highly recommend joining!

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout. The staff members actually take the time to learn your name. My trainer D.J. is knowledgable of different body types and builds he can help you achieve any goal you have in mind. I love the variety of machines here plus a pool and hot tub. The facility is always clean too. The membership fee is reasonable for all the options you get here.

Fantastic experience: Working out is tough, finding a good gym shouldn’t be! This place really does have it all! The gym is spacious with rooms available for all kinds of activity! The trainers here are knowledgeable, friendly, and make coming to this gym a lot of fun. I look forward to seeing my peeps when walking into the gym and immediately get pumped! I feel lucky to be part of this gym and it’s family! Highly recommend joining this gym, for the long-term! You’ll see you’ll love it just as much!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of ECA since January 2016 and I have loved it from the minute I walked in. From day one I felt welcome and at home. I go everyday, and it almost feels like a second family. Of course you have the feeling of not wanting to go to the gym everyday, but once you get there, there are no regrets. Staff is amazing and are always welcoming. It’s a great community to be apart of. Staff wants you to grow and move forward with your goals. I love attending this gym. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I have always had such great experience with this facility. Sadly I had to switch over to a gym closer to my home. Brooke has been the best personal trainer I've had. It's been such a pleasure being able to be trained by a professional and someone who truly knows what they are talking about. Due to this day I keep her advice in mind and hope that one day I'll be able to come back again. Thankful for the amazing staff that cares about their clients and does everything to fulfill their needs.

Fantastic experience: ECA is my favorite home away from home! I’ve been working out there for 2 years and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff, the trainers and the facility. Everyone there is always friendly and willing to help, yet no one annoys you. Another thing I really appreciate is that there are all different age ranges, abilities and body types of members who workout at this gym. No one feels that they don’t belong here - everyone is welcome!! In addition, they always offer new incentives, programs and fun contests and classes. Come and join in for the fitness and the fun!!

Fantastic experience: I don't know why these people keep hating on this gym. I've been going to this gym for 4yrs now and never found anything wrong with it. Everything is organized, the equipment is in perfect shape. All the workers there are awesome, especially Robert. I would recommend giving him a raise! He makes me do 20 push-ups whenever I forget my card at home, he is one of the reasons I love this gym! I have had about 5 of my friends join this gym and they absolutely love it! This is definitely a five star gym. And I assure you that you will love it.

Fantastic experience: The staff are very helpful and amiable. My membership includes once-a-week complimentary personal training, which is definitely a plus. I recommend getting FitLab with the membership as well, which is almost akin to a boot camp; the instructor, Ryan, will work with you if you have some physical limitations. My personal schedule is often all over the place, so I also signed up for a personal trainer to supplement my membership to make sure I get my workouts in. My trainer is Brooke, who has been incredibly helpful and patient with me. She gave me a workout plan to follow as well as a meal plan, which has been beneficial whenever I do workouts on my own.

Fantastic experience: I have had a genuinely great experience at this gym. The staff is super friendly, I've never felt like any of the men there were inappropriate with me, which is a must for a gym. I love the fact that they have a pool that is heated to a comfortable temperature. They have an excellent weight training area with so many different options to keep switching things up. They offer yoga classes and boot camps with my membership which is very affordable and reasonable. The best part for me has been my one on ones with my personal trainer, Brooke. She is so much fun to work out with. She is knowledgeable and upbeat, always has a smile and pushes me to give it my all with every visit. My experience at the gym wouldn't be the same without her. She has helped me gain confidence as well as build muscle and flexibility. She has also taught me how to eat to get the most out of my food and the most out of my workout. I haven't felt this good about myself and my hard work in a gym ever. I would recommend this gym, as I frequently do, and would also recommend training sessions with Brooke if you are looking to feel and look your best from your workouts.

Fantastic experience: I have worked out here since April 2016, I was at LA fitness before. Has all the equipment you need, not to crowded, good stuff. I think Emerald City athletics is one of the best gyms I have been to. They have everything I need. I have never felt "pushed" by trainers or others to buy things. I in fact liked the process they went through upon membership because it was focused on my needs and consultative. I have always been athletic but never used a trainer before. Rusty Gebhardt has been great the past few months working with him. I am starting to notice some serious gains. I would recommend him to anyone because I know he keeps it focused on your personal goals. As a person who has been lifting for years I appreciate the feedback I get from trainers. Ryan has come up and helped me from time to time as well. I have always felt that their feedback has come from wanting to help me become healthier and reach my goals. I was against having a trainer for a while but now I am happy I decided to pay the extra, whats more important than staying healthy? Plus the other members are low key and quite friendly. This place has a much better vibe than LA fitness does down the street. One last piece, I have seen the person who owns all the Emerald City Athletic clubs in here before and talking with employees on the importance of helping people reach their goals. It starts at the top...
