“2025 Review

I will caveat this by saying I have since left the US and have not been a member for at least 3 years. However I do believe in givbing credit where its due. I have been recently having muscoskeletal issues due to flat feet which I have had my whole life. During my physiotherapy appointments I just realised that its not that the issues suddenly started, but during my time in the US as a member of Bstrong the issues that should have inevitably happened where actively prevented by my regular classes at Bstrong. Without me even realizing it. At the time my main motivation was to lose weight but clearly the programming at Bstrong is so intentionally devised for overall wellness that it prevented complications of fallen archs for me without even realising it. Its unfortunately only now I am realising this. I have fond memories of the gym and hope that it has remained largely the same if not better. As someone with no Bstrong, I highly recommend this gym for your overall wellness.

2020 Review

I have been going to this gym regularly since I live nearby. Its the best in the area due to so many reasons. The workouts are very effective - I have become stronger this past year thanks to them (+ losing 20+ lbs ?). The instructors are very kind, attentive and care about all the members. I was especially touched during the initial days of the pandemic - they found ways to keep everyone active and healthy - virtual workouts, youtube workouts, regular articles on healthy living. The community is also fantastic - before the pandemic we used to have get-togethers occasionally, which I loved. Everyone is very kind. Bstrong is not just a gym- its a fitness community ❤️“

“One of the best gyms and Staff across the globe! Seen many… none can compare! High professionalism, motivation and energy!If you strive for progress, change and good vibe! You should definitely give it a go @Vigor!“

“I can't say enough good things about the HOP! The gym and community have been incredibly supportive of my fitness journey and goals. The staff and owners are so friendly and welcoming, and the members create a positive and motivating atmosphere every time I workout.

The gym is exceptionally well-run, with consistent cleaning crews and meticulous general maintenance, ensuring a clean and safe environment for all. If you're looking for a gym in the Kirkland area, I highly recommend joining!“

“OTF Issaquah is great! I find the staff that is working at the front desk to be consistently friendly and welcoming. Like any location, the classes are fun and challenging. Lauren, Anica, Morgan and Kristina are my favorite coaches at this studio. They are friendly, familiar with the templates, good with time management, and provide helpful demonstrations with proper form and explanation.There are just a couple of things that would make this studio even better:1) Larger space. I wish it was bigger, like the studios in Mercer Island or Redmond. By half of the rowers and specifically with some stations on the floor, space can get really tight. This sometimes negatively impacts my workouts. I do my best to avoid 3G classes and also certain stations.2) A majority of the coaches here are amazing! Sometimes though you will have a coach that is not great with time management, not comfortable with the template, or mediocre at best with explaining it. I know this can be said for any studio and it’s unrealistic to expect every coach to be great. To help self-manage to this, I find the Early Intel on Reddit’s r/orangetheory super helpful!“

“I was a patient at SPT Kirkland for two separate injuries in the past 2 years and they've been an exceptional resource towards getting me back to normal activities. Harrison and Darren are very talented and able to focus on addressing specific areas of treatment with a variety of approaches. Brystel was always great in handling scheduling and payments.

I was able to recover from a back injury within a few months and am very grateful. Highly recommend this team and location.“

“I have been working with Kathy for over 6 months and this personal training has been the only exercise I’ve been able to keep up! I love the modern and clean vibe of the gym. It’s super easy to find parking and most importantly working with Kathy has been awesome. She has a very approachable and pleasant personality that makes it very easy to share my fitness goals. She is very knowledgeable and I feel very confident and safe when training with her. I never thought I would be able to gain the strength I have gained so far and I’m super happy with the results. Highly recommend!!“

“Amazing yoga studio! Loved the online workshop I attended. So much valuable information. Can’t wait for future workshops!“

“Tony has been above and beyond as a trainer and mentor. I came to Tony with your average gym-goer experience who doesn't know much about proper training or diet. Tony has been patient and an incredible coach since day 1. From the moment you talk to this man, you can see how much he loves his work and the people around him. This naturally translates to how much people love him in and outside the gym. Tony helped me lose fat while gaining muscle for my first ever bodybuilding show which I placed 4th. Then, Tony has been helping me with my bulk in which I gained around 50lb in one year while keeping my fat percentage not too high. My overall strength has gone up significantly. From only being able to bench 115lb to 225lb, squatting 135lb to 315lb, and deadlifting from 165lb to 405lb. Furthermore, Tony gives great advice and takeaways from his own personal life lessons. Overall, it is very pleasant to have Tony around as a trainer, a friend, and a mentor. I highly recommend Tony.“

“John has been my trainer for the last few years. Workouts with him have been tailored to my needs and limitations. His understanding of the bio mechanics of the human body and resistance training makes it possible for him to tailor exercises to specifically target areas which need work. Highly recommend more beneficial than going to a physical therapist.“

“The X Gym Team is the best!We recently relocated from Kirkland and reluctantly left X Gym after a nearly ten year association.I highly recommend PJ and X Gym - with focused workouts, remote access while traveling, individual and group sessions, X Gym has it all.Thank you X Gym team for helping me stay in shape and ready for each season’s outdoor activity.“

“The best private training on the Eastside! Not only are all the trainers friendly and energetic, but they also know their craft and how to motivate people to be their best.“

“Hands down the best in the business Scott ! Not only a trainer but a mentor too. More than just a trainer he cares. I worked out with Oliver as well great trainer when Scott can’t do it .“

“LOVELY STUDIO! I have been a part of the One Mind Yoga community for years and I can say with confidence that Lindsay is an instructor like no other. Once you have a class with her, you won't want to go back to any other person! I especially appreciate how many modifications Lindsay takes the time to explain throughout her classes and the importance of it being our practice and to listen to our bodies, so that we have a safe, enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this business!“

“My partner and I signed up for training at M2 in September 2023 and did three sessions per week. Both of us basically hadn't exercised at all in about ten years, so it was challenging, but we have had a very good experience! The trainers at M2 helped us get back into exercising and taught us skills and exercises to help us on our journey to becoming more physically fit again.We looked in to other gyms in the area beforehand, but chose M2 because of the offer to do 2-on-1 training sessions together and because we liked the atmosphere at M2 the most: it's always an inviting and comfortable place to exercise as the space is very well maintained and the focus on working with trainers makes it easy to share the space even when there are multiple sessions going on at once.“

“I've been taking 3 personal training sessions per week here for the last few months. I've noticed a tremendous difference in my health and energy. Brandon is a great trainer. He has the right balance of motivation and compassion. He's also good about accommodating any injuries I have.“

“great gym the owners Bull and Flo are the best and the personal training off the charts . Bull has me powerlifting and headed for records in my age group“

“I'm in my 40s and mother of two young children, with a very limited bandwidth for exercise, but Michele has managed to keep me engaged and challenged incrementally in a way that makes me feel comfortable but very motivated to push further. I've been working with Michele for the last two years and she has helped me build a tailored and sustainable routine to fit my health goals, with very detail-oriented attention to my specific needs. Her approach to fitness as a way to increase mobility and longevity (rather than the traditional focus on aesthetics or weight loss as a primary goal) has been so refreshing. Working with her has been a tremendous asset to me and I feel the benefits of it every single day!“

“I am extremely satisfied with the service I've received here. Conor has provided excellent service showing me what ECA has to offer and has made me feel welcomed. I am excited to get back into great shape. The gym has monthly check ins to help you with your progress as well :)“

“Go to Christine if you want an amazing personal trainer! She consistently provides a great, tailored workout in a private setting. Christine understands and teaches not only the exercises, but the recovery aspect of it also (which it turns out is just as important). She is skilled in knowing how to safely work around injuries, aches and pains while still giving an awesome workout that delivers results. I loved her holistic and balanced approach to training. She is very fun and encouraging to work with. I learned so much from her and gained so many tools that I will take with me the rest of my life.“

“I worked with Dustin for 18 months and it was a game-changer. He created smart, personalized training plans that worked with (not against) my knee arthritis. Thanks to his support and accountability, I stayed consistent and hit every workout for over a year—no small feat! I felt stronger, saw real results, and never had to second-guess what to do. The flexibility to train on my own schedule was key, and he even made special workouts for when I traveled. If you’re thinking about starting your fitness journey, start it with Dustin. Totally worth it.“

“If you want to improve your athletic performance there is only one place I would go in Washington and that’s MSC. Sachin and his staff are knowledgeable, and will be sure to maximize your results!“

“Just completed 10 classes here. It’s a really great workout. The instructors are really helpful, and help with adjustments to make sure you’re doing the move correctly and not getting hurt. There are a ton of class times and they usually don’t get booked up except for some of the weekend classes. I’m really enjoying this workout!“

“Kristina is a top notch personal trainer that stands out from other trainers I've tried working with. I always have a lot of fun and learn a lot when I work out with her. Every session I have with Kristina has me feeling energized afterward and boosts my mood. I've already gained a lot of strength around previously injured joints, which has provided a lot of relief and improved my quality of life, after just couple of months of working out with Kristina twice a week! It's also worth mentioning that my posture has improved and I'm seeing changes in the way I look that have me feeling like my old self again :) Here are some specific skills that make Kristina stand out to me:

*Exceptional feedback* Kristina carefully observes me when I'm learning the form and building up strength for movements. I'm not sure how she can see some of the things she gives me feedback about lol, but she always ensures that my form is correct and I'm drawing strength from the correct body part as well as the correct specific muscles. Kristina is also very clever at providing metaphors to help me understand how to get my brain to consciously use muscles that I haven't yet built up ab awareness of. I can feel that I do a lot more work during my sessions with Kristina compared to other trainers because her clear, direct and concise feedback helps me just kind of get what she's asking of me after a couple tries. For context, I've always noticed that verbal instructions can be more challenging for me. It was an a-ha moment for me when I realized the way Kristina explains things clicks for me. That streamlined communication allows me to get more out my sessions.

* Directly supports clients execution of movements* Kristina is always respectful and checks in with me during our workouts. Since I'm comfortable with it, Kristina also helps me pick up new movements by pointing to the the muscle I should be using, bracing me from compensating with dominant muscle groups so I'm able to learn to channel the muscles that need the most strengthening or just providing support when I'm still building up strength for a movement. It reminds me of the ballet instructors I progressed the fastest with when I was young. Also, like every good coach, Kristina knows when to let go.

*No workout hangovers* I always feel like I've pushed myself after every session, but don't get day after soreness like I would with other dance/fitness classes I've previously tried. All I feel is results :)

* Good motivator* It's always encouraging when Kristina acknowledges my improvement and keeps our workouts fun by letting me take a crack at more advanced movements. It's really surprising some of movement I've been able to start pulling off with her help. I feel motivated to keep up the good work when Kristina demos ways I can eventually extend on what I'm learning.

I initially began looking into sessions with Kristina to build up enough strength to go back to dance classes, but I'm having such a good time and feeling so much better that I plan to stick with my sessions with Kristina!“

“This is the only studio you need to go. I have been going for a few months now, my body is way better and stronger than it was before. The ladies here are very knowledgeable and very very professional. They will take care of you, and at the same time give you a great work out.“

“Non pretentious and uncrowded just the way I like a gym to be. Been coming here for over 5 years!“
