Training Grounds

Experiencia fantástica: Pretty serious gym. Lots of equipment, mostly in very good shape. (A few benches need re-foam-and-cover-ing.) 24 hour access once you've joined. There are even Atlas stones and other Strongman equipment in the back. Pricing is higher than other places and it's a bit out of my way, but I am going to stick with it for at least a couple of months while the cheaper places are extremely busy...

Experiencia negativa: Lot sweaty hotheads

Experiencia fantástica: Incredible gym . The selection of machines they have , including the great variety of accessory exercises like hip thrust machines and reverse hyper is great! They even have a strongman section with things like farmers walk device (which I can’t lift ) and stones, and their dumbbells go up to 125 pounds . There is a sled run too. In addition to all that the staff is great !

Experiencia fantástica: The best gym in all of whatcom county, some of the friendliest people and Soo many fabulous high quality trainers! This place is Disneyland for anyone and everyone fitness oriented

Experiencia fantástica: Best strength training gym in whatcom county

Experiencia fantástica: One of the best gyms I’ve been able to be apart of!! Love the community that I’ve been able to apart of

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym I've ever been to! Highly recommend, staff is super welcoming and friendly, it's a great environment, and they really have everything you could want in terms of equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: Training Grounds is more than just a gym—it's a comprehensive fitness haven in Bellingham, catering to everyone from powerlifters to bodybuilders, and those interested in Olympic lifting or strongman training. This boutique gym stands out from the larger chain gyms like 24-Hour Fitness or Planet Fitness by focusing on the specific needs of its clientele, offering specialized equipment and a tailored experience. What sets Training Grounds apart is its commitment to quality and constant improvement. The owners regularly update the equipment, ensuring members have access to the best and newest gear available. Despite the higher price point compared to budget gyms, it feels extremely reasonable given the quality of facilities and equipment provided. The gym is immaculately clean and well-organized, with everything you need neatly in place. It’s open 24/7, making it incredibly convenient to fit a workout into any schedule. As someone who has been frequenting commercial gyms for over 25 years, I can confidently say Training Grounds is the best gym experience I’ve had. Whether you're a serious lifter looking for a dedicated place to train or someone new to fitness wanting a supportive environment, Training Grounds is the place to be. It’s not just a gym, it’s a community where you can push your limits and achieve your fitness goals in the best possible setting.

Experiencia negativa: Who plays good idea but the people that go there are really rude two stars because of the atmosphere but nothing else

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent gym! I was visiting the area for a couple weeks, and was looking for a gym to keep my strength training workouts on track. I am so happy that I found Training Grounds - it is a rare gym - a place with a vast amount of equipment but also an all-are-welcome vibe. People are friendly, but also let you have your space to workout. Unlike many gyms, there is a good mix of men and women working out - all are welcome!

Experiencia positiva: The only gym I'm aware of where you can buy a day pass for $10 or at all really. Must check out their equipment is up to date and when it's not they replace it and set the old stuff right outside with a free sign on it.

Experiencia fantástica: Arnold would be juiced at the sight of this place. Professional, yet welcoming. In the words of Arnold "I'll be back!" In the words of my father Hold Fast & Shine Bright!

Experiencia fantástica: Bellingham’s premier fitness facility. This gym has everything ANY type of lifter needs. Any equipment you could think of - they have it. And even if it’s peak time of the day like 5pm, you’ll still have enough equipment to use without running out of options. The hours: 24 hours. So it will fit anyone’s schedule. They have security cameras. The staff: friendly, accommodating and always helpful. The owners Kyle and Dani are always available when questions about the gym need to be addressed. Ben, Dave, and the entire staff are always friendly and around to help out. Parking: adequate for the amount of foot traffic and secure. Amenities: Infrared sauna, shower rooms and ADA bathrooms. Membership: flexible, month to month and reasonable for the amount of equipment you have access to.

Experiencia fantástica: Got a day pass for this place and it’s sooo nice! The staff was so friendly, I didn’t catch the persons name but she was so so kind! Lots of great equipment and plenty of space.

Experiencia fantástica: Training grounds is the absolute greatest gym in the Northwest region. When I first joined this gym a year ago I had no idea what the fitness community was about. Here I have found what it truly means. This place is very special and continues to grow the fitness community. The only bad thing I find when I get home is I look at myself in the mirror more and more from the results of my workout. This might happen to you too.

Experiencia fantástica: I love this gym! I’ve been going here for a few years now and they are always buying new equipment and improving the space. Lots of equipment, I rarely have to wait for something to open up. I love that they don’t force you into contracts and you can easily cancel anytime and they have drop in available as well if you just want to try it out or are here from out of town. The owners, Dani and Kyle and the rest of the staff are always so friendly. I also train with Kyle and he is a fantastic trainer as well!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a member of Training Grounds for three years and this gym rocks! They have the best selection of equipment, friendly staff and a great community!

Experiencia fantástica: Training Grounds is an awesome gym and I highly recommend it. The community within the gym is strong and welcoming especially the Owners and Staff. I highly recommend checking it out if your in the area.

Experiencia fantástica: this is very nice gym i like it best gym 100%. staff is very cool and friendly

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym by far the best in the area but please do something about the disgusting showers! What is up with those mats? They are nothing but a home for germs and grossness! All they do is keep the floor from draining and make gross squishing sounds under your feet.

Experiencia negativa: I have been lifting at Training Grounds for over a year. I was drawn to their gym because of their powerlifting community and top notch equipment. Unfortunately, my experience with Training Grounds turned negative on the afternoon of Wednesday May 1st when I was inexplicably blocked by the two gym owners, Dani Schemm and Kyle Obsorne, and another staff member, David Le, from entering Training Grounds and my membership canceled without my knowledge - all with no clear explanation. I have reached out to the owners to apologize for my shock-induced response in the parking lot and to ask for an explanation. I have received no response. I have never harassed any Training Grounds patrons or staff, stolen or damaged their equipment, or otherwise been a threat to the facility. No staff have ever talked to me with concerns about my behavior. Instead I was met with intimidation and bullying at the front door that led to a panic attack. I am beyond disappointed by how unprofessional they were in addressing and communicating with me. I would hope that as a professional business, they would have a clearly available way for patrons to share feedback, and also clear expectations on a code of conduct. Neither of which is the case. So for those of you who go to Training Grounds, or who are thinking about it, beware. Watch yourself and anything you do or say as it could be used against you and without any warning.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome. Has everything you could ask for.

Experiencia positiva: Pretty cool gym. Good equipment; 24/7 access, lots of space, etc. My only little gripe comes from the cleaning and organization of the place. While gym members should be cleaning after themselves and racking their weights (which a lot of them don’t) I’ve seen the same un-racked weights and trash around the gym for around 3 weeks. The heavy bag room has had the same Hersheys bar wrappers and water/gatorade bottles just laying around and it looks like the area hasn’t had a good cleaning in ages. Just seems like the staff rarely goes around to clean or organize weights. Regardless, it is a pretty good gym. And I still highly recommend it. Just do your due diligence to clean before and after lifting weights or hitting the bags.

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the best gym I've ever trained at!! I have been a competitive powerlifter for over 30 years and been blessed with competing around the World and trained at many different Gyms This place is absolutely the best I've ever been to in my entire lifting career!! Great venue and staff is AMAZING as well

Experiencia negativa: The eye don’t answer their phone or their emails. They must have enough members that they don’t care about bringing on new ones. To clarify, I actually emailed both owners to the email addresses listed on their website. This attempt was made a couple of weeks (or more) prior to Christmas Day. That just happened to be the day that I decided to write the review. I double checked to make sure I had the correct email addresses and I did. At this point, the hassle of trying to get ahold of anyone at this gym to try and answer a few basic questions isn’t worth it any longer. I’ll look for a gym that values getting new members through the door.

Experiencia fantástica: Love the gym

Experiencia fantástica: First time being here

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you Dani. For being awesome and reaching out to me. I appreciate you.

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of professional gym equipment. Large area so you don't have to wait constantly for any equipment to open up. Great and friendly staff. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Easily best gym in Bellingham, all the equipment you could need and the facility is run with total trust and freedom, you feel like you can work out here how you want to. Sauna could be better but it gets hot enough for most people

Experiencia fantástica: Big gym, not crowded

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym I've ever been to. They have the absolute best equipment available and plenty of it. They also have a mat room with multiple types of punching bags. Staff is really nice and helpful they have a ton of personal trainers available. Everything here is just great. Pricing is more than fair

Experiencia fantástica: Super professional gym with a wide range of equipment and zones, as well as a roster of incredible trainers.

Experiencia fantástica: What an amazing gym!! Love that everyone is on the same page with dedication to being mentally and physically fit!! My new home!

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I Love this gym!!! We drive from Seattle just to workout there when we get a chance. They have tons of Arsenal Strength equipment that you can’t find anywhere in the Pacific Northwest. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Gym is huge!!! Can’t say enough great things about this place. Worth driving to Bellingham just to workout at this gym.

Experiencia positiva: Was a fan of the gym, Able to take my sons with me. Unfortunately they implemented a new rule due to some kids roughhousing in the gym, that anyone under 18 has to leave before 9 pm. My son was abiding by the rule but one of the trainers that goes by mowhi or something like that, was very rude to my son and made him feel uncomfortable, even before it was time to leave. The gym itself is great.

Experiencia fantástica: My godson goes here every day and loves it.

Experiencia fantástica: Best equipment, best trainers, lots of space. Great price for the workout!

Experiencia fantástica: I've had only good experiences at training grounds the staff are amazing and the equipment is all new!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym I’ve ever been to! I feel so fortunate to have this in my town. TONS of equipment to choose from in various areas. You’ll always be able to find a squat rack or anything you need to use for that matter.

Experiencia fantástica: Everything you need in physical training

Experiencia fantástica: Super awesome gym, the best gym I've ever been to!!!!!!!! Went by for a drop in and got a good work out in. Felt a little queezy at the end from jet lag and one of the trainers talked to me till' I felt better. Seems silly, but I could tell that they cared about their members. Very clean and had every piece of equipment you could think of!

Experiencia fantástica: Bodybuilding, basketball and heavy bags. Not much more you can ask for.

Experiencia fantástica: The best gym in Bellingham with a small gym feel. The people who own it are always present and friendly. Great equipment and a large variety. Get strong here!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in bellingham by far

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic space to work on your gains. The best of any gym I've attended- plenty of equipment, helpful staff and a vibe that suits someone looking for a good circuit with minimal exposure to big box gym pitfalls

Experiencia fantástica: Training Grounds offers the most versatile equipment I've seen at a gym. Dani and Kyle have created a unique gym that caters to every lifter at every experience level. Open 24 hours, no gym in Bellingham will exceed what Training Grounds has to offer.

Experiencia fantástica: TG is the best gym around. That isn't because all the amazing equipment. It is because the owners and employees love their gym, love their community, and all of the awesome members. It only took 17 years of lifting to find a gym this well equipped gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in PNW and I’d say top 3 in the US best trainers around everyone pushes each other get place to be

Experiencia fantástica: Hands down the BEST gym in Whatcom county. The equipment is top notch, the community is welcoming, and the location is perfect (right off the freeway). I love every single thing about this place.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in Bellingham. A gym owned by lifters who are on the gym floor every day working out, training people from all walks of life, and being generally warm and welcoming. 24/7 access is unbeatable, and a strong community of friendly people dedicated to health and fitness. Perfect if you're new to the gym. Perfect if you've been lifting for years.

Experiencia fantástica: Sick gym love the vibe

Experiencia fantástica: An absolutely legendary gym. Been going here for years. The community is phenomenal, equipment is top of the line, and the staff/trainers are all extremely knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: The newest equipment available and alot of it! They have all the best professional trainers in town here. Amazing meal prep service too :) 24/7 access. I love this gym

Experiencia fantástica: If you take fitness seriously or want to this is a must for those in or around bellingham. Ive moved from town but I will hold all gyms to this standard moving forward. This place gives you the tools to do it all, no plastic machines, perfect hours. Just a warehouse filled with quality weights and good people. Its unlike most gyms out there which is unforcunate! you won't regret a membership! Wish you followed me to Hawaii Training Grounds!

Experiencia fantástica: This is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been too. You will never find more skilled trainers than Kyle, Dani, Lauren, Bam Bam, Emma, and believe it or not, many others. The rogue and arsenal equipment is state of the art, and the facility is absolutely beautiful. I am beyond grateful for training grounds and the positive impact it has had on my life.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym I’ve been too. Great people, and great trainers. I’ve been at this gym for about four months now and all I have felt is compassion from the people here, that are helping me reach my goals. Definitely 5/5

Experiencia fantástica: Training Grounds is the most diverse gym in Whatcom County, it has the highest quality equipment and with it being open 24/7 it is never too busy! I would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone no matter your level of fitness!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been going to Training grounds for about 10 months now, and let me say, for 50$ a month it’s worth every penny. Not only do you have access to the highest quality machines and equipment you can buy, but the trainers/ owners are the most down-to-earth and helpful people. Not to mention they provide full meals, snacks and drinks to perfectly satisfy your post workout cravings. Do not be afraid to ask any type of fitness and wellness related questions because the staff understands that everyone starts somewhere. If you are just starting for the first time in your life or even if you’ve been training for 15+ years, Training grounds is more than ideal. If you take care of the place, the place takes even more care of you. This gym has changed my life and I will remember this place for the rest of my life. It blows all the other gyms in bellingham out of the water by MILES. If you can afford it and you’re just trying to decide wether you should or not, stop thinking about it and do it. You will not find another gym like this anywhere close to Bellingham.

Experiencia fantástica: This gym literally has everything you could ever want. I was astounded at the amount of equipment here. CrossFit? Yep. Powerlifting? Yep. Cardio? Yep. Bodybuilding? Yep. MMA? Yep. Not sure what you’re doing, but want to workout? Yep. I did CrossFit for many years and had not programmed my own workouts for a long time, every single person I asked for help was super friendly and helpful. It feels a bit intimidating and bro-y at first, but everyone is great. I haven’t done any personal training yet, but they have a trainer for anyone and whatever goals you have. The price is completely reasonable for everything you get. I had to cancel my membership for a while because I can’t risk being exposed to Covid due to caring for my elderly immune suppressed mother, Kyle was completely understanding and went out of his way to help. I will definitely be back and get will recommend this gym to anyone who will listen.

Experiencia fantástica: Best equipment of any gym I’ve trained at. Great staff and trainers. 24hr access once a member. Facility is massive and a new addition was just finished. Parking’s never been an issue. Bodybuilding, sports performance, powerlifting, CrossFit, whatever your lane you’ll find what you need here.

Experiencia fantástica: by far this is the best supplied gym in Bellingham. super friendly staff and amazing trainers. i plan on having a membership for many years.

Experiencia fantástica: Training grounds is by far the best gym in Bellingham! The staff their is so supportive and it truly felt like a safe and supportive community to thrive in!

Experiencia fantástica: By far the best gym in town ! Never a wait for equipment as they have so many options to choose from !

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve never appreciated a gym so much, they’re dedicated to their guests and evolving to become a better gym since they’ve opened. I moved away but I still think about this gym and how much I miss getting great workouts there

Experiencia fantástica: It's the only legit C-Block in Bellingham Best Gym I've EVER been at...and I've been at a LOT. Cool and Chill owners

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym around, best trainers around, the owners have gone above and beyond to create a special place.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym I’ve ever been to!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been an on an off member of Training Grounds and their other gyms for many years! I cannot say enough awesome things about the owners Kyle and Dani, and for that matter some of the other trainers too! Their display of knowledge and professionalism is beyond what you will find in any other gym around this county. The different types and amount of equipment there is astounding. It does not matter what your level of experience is there is something at this gym for everyone.

Experiencia fantástica: The absolute best gym in Whatcom county.

Experiencia positiva: I started training at Training Grounds after my previous gym was getting overcrowded and uncomfortable for me. As a Strongman athlete, it's difficult to find spaces large enough and with proper equipment to follow programming correctly. Training Grounds provided all of the things I needed and more. I'm so happy to have given it a try and am now a full time member.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in town.

Experiencia fantástica: Insane amount of space and range of equipment and stations. All the staff I've interacted with are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: Polite and professional staff, and the gym is huge, so it never feels overcrowded.

Experiencia negativa: This gym does not require masks nor does the staff mask . They are breaking the law and endangering the community. SideNote ,Kyle it’s extremely rude, which is an understatement of the experience I had with him, and other rude staff members. But, the biggest take away about this gym is they are arrogantly dangerous during these times of Covid

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome very open. Lots of space and equipment. Lots of unique equipment too.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic mix of equipment. Great energy and my fav squat rack.

Experiencia fantástica: I like the atmosphere and they have all the equipment to get a really good workout in

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in Whatcom county!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym in Bellingham without any question. Very welcoming place. I think the owners have built a great space, it's a sandbox to play in really. This gym has everything you could ever want and then some. Every type of bar, rack, anything. There will be things you may not have seen before, but it's all very useful equipment. In my very short time there so far it is obvious there is diversity there. In body types, goals, training methods, training intensity. I love coming here and this is the best gym I've ever been to.

Experiencia fantástica: Best gym ever

Experiencia fantástica: Great environment, people, and equipment!

Experiencia fantástica: Arguable best gym in Bellingham

Experiencia fantástica: The owners are fabulous, great people. Good luck guys! Congratulations on your new sign, looks great!

Experiencia fantástica: Best equipped gym out there

Experiencia fantástica: Everything you could ask for.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing gym! You get 24/7 access because they give you a Fob at sign up which is awesome if your schedule isn’t consistent. The owners are amazing people who make you feel welcome every time ! If you are into any kind of fitness K.O is for you! They have a huge selection of dumbbells, bars and Equipment that I haven’t seen anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing gym! Kyle, Dani, and everyone at KO have created a truly spectacular gym. The equipment, atmosphere, and culture could not have been better. Especially in terms of creating the best version of yourself. Between the equipment and the culture of challenging everyone to be the best that they can, I broke through all of my perceived limitations and became the biggest and strongest that I have ever been. I could never say a single bad thing about KO, it's the single best gym that I have ever been to.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome equipment. Amazing owners.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is awesome! Best gym in Bham!

Experiencia fantástica: The smaller facility has everything needed to make every muscle burn. Get in, do work, get out. Thanks KO for putting together exactly what I need.
