I love this gym! The group fitness instructors are not only amazing, but are super friendly and very knowledgeable! I drive an hour just to train at this gym! Yes I have closer gyms, but this IS the gym to train at, and get the results you want!!! Check them out you wont be disappointed!

I have been going here for years off and on. I really appreciate the members and employees! There is much encouragement and motivation. Lots of smiling faces! I guarantee anyone of all ages can find their place here. Donnie is awesome to work with as well as everyone else!

Whetstone Fitness is the premier place to be if you like a place to workout that is kept to the highest standards. The crew here really cares about their clients. The gym is always super clean and there is not the crowd that the commercial gyms have. The trainers, group fitness instructors, and front desk are all so personable and friendly. I really enjoy this gym and that is why I keep coming back!

The atmosphere was great, and the staff were well trained and friendly. They have added some more equipment since I was in last, around 2 months before the Covid-19 virus hit. What a bummer 😕, from what Ive heard and read about this establishment Whetstone Fitness, they are a very clean, professional, and fun. Hope to see 👀 you guys/girls again around real soon, and Thanks for your patience with me and my back surgeries. 🤙😎🤙👣🤙👽🤙🏄‍♂️🤙😎🤙.

Amazing place! I have gone to other large gyms and this is by far my favorite. Super friendly staff. Great equipment. I am super excited I found this gym!

Convenient location & friendly staff. Id give 5 stars if they added just one more bench press weight bench.

Amazing gym. Great staff. Very friendly. If your looking for a gym that you will feel comfortable in and that maintains a high standard of sanitation then Whetstone is an awesome choice.

Super welcoming staff!

The feel of a private gym without the attitude!

I love whetstone fitness club

Would highly recommend! Far better alternative to any chain environment. Donnies house is an expert environment in personal fitness for any fitness needs and body goals. Donnie Whetstone himself and his team do not disappoint. The orientation is the head and shoulders above any other I have received creating a fitness plan that is easy to follow understand and repeat to your needs. Whetstone Fitness is a 24 hour gym that provides a welcoming and professional environment. A motivating place for all fitness levels where you can set your goals and crush them!

Its only been a week, but I love this place! Upon joining, I had an orientation with Donnie, who created a simple, personalized routine to get me started. The place is clean, welcoming, and well-equipped. The vibe is very casual and inclusive, and as a middle-aged creampuff, I feel very comfortable here! Staff are friendly and helpful, but not in the way, and I like being able to go in later in the evening if thats the way my day plays out. Also, so glad to be supporting a small, locally-owned business. Happy to have found this place!

Great place for workout and I love the replaced windows nice to sit in front of them and workout!

I highly recommend Whetstone Fitness. It is an excellent place to get fit, stay healthy and maintain a good quality of life. When you first walk in, the young lady at the reception desk will give you a tour of the facility and is great at helping you enroll in the program that fits your needs. Donnie Whetstone, the owner and his instructors are highly skilled in training individuals according to their age and goals. There is a wide variety of modern, very well maintained exercise equipment. Various other group fitness classes are also popular. Sign up with Whetstone and support a local, veteran owned company.

Whetstone is a great place to have a membership. Friendly staff. You meet great people and feel welcomed whenever going. There are a variety of machines and weights. I love going here.

This place is absolutely amazing. I’ve been wanting to join a gym for sometime now, but with no prior experience in lifting, I was intimidated just going it alone at the big corporate gyms. After reading the reviews about Whetstone Fitness, I stopped by and did a quick tour and felt right at home. Donnie gives every new member a 1 on 1 consultation and lays out an individualized work out regime based on your goals. He goes through every step of every machine you’ll need to achieve those goals. That guidance was exactly what I was looking for and could not be happier with my choice to join this gym.

I prefer supporting small businesses over corporate gyms. No nonsense monthly memberships at a great price. The space is a bit small, but never over crowded. They have everything you need for a great workout. The personal trainers are very knowledgeable and can handle clients of all backgrounds.

I have been training with Donnie Whetstone for 5 months and the results are INCREDIBLE! I am stronger, healthier, and Ive lost 35lbs in that short amount of time gaining 5lbs of muscle. My exercise and nutrition plan are both well-balanced, plus Donnie is truly a unique trainer because he is a phenomenal bodybuilder himself. Donnie knows how to design the work out thats best for your body type and improving fitness level. As for the gym where do I start, this gym is what I think about when I think of the perfect gym NO INITIATION FEE, NO HIDDEN FEE, AND NO ANNUAL FEE. The location in Olympia by the mall is excellent, the awesome energy and knowledge that you get from Donnie plus the trainers takes it over the top. Ive been a member of L.A. Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, and Planet Fitness and never have achieved these results. Especially when your a beginner you have no idea where to start, and Donnie changed that with just a small orientation. WHETSTONE FITNESS is eager to help and will to take time with you. Also they understand what you are striving for and they WILL get you there faster and better, while having fun. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!!

Love this place!! It is small and quaint, and has 24 hour access, which is a must for me! Very friendly staff, and I love the atmosphere, and how welcomed the staff makes me feel. Donnie Whetstone is an amazing trainer, and he is very knowledgeable about all of the fitness stuff, and helps you to feel motivated. I would definitely recommend this place to anybody.

This is a great place to workout! Locally owned with 24-hour access. Its clean & I feel totally comfortable working here. Im just beginning my journey back to being fit & I feel like Donnie has set me up for success! I have tried several gyms in the area over the years & this is by far the best.

I have been doing nutritional work with Donnie and Whetstone Fitness for about 20 weeks. in the last 6 weeks I switched to Whetstone as my primary gym, coming from the soon to be gone fifth ave fitness. Donnie has hands down put me in the best physical shape of my life. I am currently sitting at less than 11 percent body fat, still dropping, and I am extremely happy. You must listen to the man. if you have a question he has an answer but he is right. Trust the system. I am down sixty five lbs from January of this year.Edit: now October 9, so I have been going at this nonstop since my original post. I am sitting at 6.7% body fat and an endurance level that just doesnt quit. If you are serious about making lifestyle changes, this is the place for you. It is a truly informative and educational experience. I have learned firsthand what a fickle machine the human body is.

Whetstone Fitness is a great facility with a great staff. Donnie has the ability to tap in to your weaknesses and help you achieve your goals. Donnie is very passionate and dedicated to seeing that you succeed. My wife & I are true testaments of what a little time, great coaching, and commitment can do for you. Thanks Donnie!

Joined Whetstone Fitness and the exclusive Empowerment Program back in October and had to share the unreal results. With Donnie Whetstones program, hard work, and a clean nutrition plan Ive added 12 pounds of lean muscle in just 6 weeks! Oh, and I forgot to mention, Im a hardgainer. Looking forward to the next 6 weeks and what I can achieve beyond in 2018.

A great gym, I much prefer to come here then to the huge chains... they are great here. The staff is very helpful and all the equipment is kept up very well.

This is a well equipped, small gym with expert and friendly staff in every area. Trainers were able to help me reach goals in weeks when it was taking months on my own. It is a great value to ensure I stay on target. People are there to train but, I still meet the best people here.

I just moved to Olympia and I love this gym. Les Mils classes arent necessarily my favorite workout, but I have never met more supportive staff and members. This gym is convenient, it is inexpensive and the people are wonderful. No one should be intimidated to start classes here and you can try out your first week for free. Great gym, great programs and great people.

A true gem in the world of fitness! Locally owned, in fact the owner is one of the trainers and its obvious he cares about you reaching your goals. The facility is clean and equipment is well kept. Everything you need from classes, personal training, free weights, a wide variety of machines, locker rooms, etc. Never too busy! And no sign up fees!

Learning them is amazing. Extensive knowledge has good motivational tactics for achieving their goals. They have great specialized equipment for sports exercises.

Whetstone is a small, locally-run gym that provides excellent services along with a sense of community. I have never participated in a gym that makes me feel more like home. My fitness routine consists primarily of running, biking, and hiking, all of which I do outside. However, I have experienced significant gains in my fitness after joining Whetstone and engaging in a regular strength training routine. I primarily attend the gym for their classes (BodyPump, Flow, and RPM). Not only do the instructors teach a great class, they also are friendly, engage with members, and know all of our names. The sense of community keeps me coming back and my fitness has improved because of it.

My wife and I recently started going to this gym. We came over from Tumwater Valley athletic club. This gym is so much better we really like it! This is a no-nonsense gym where you can go in anytime around the clock get your workout done and get out. I absolutely hated Tumwater valley! I never want to go back to that place its like a cult! This is my idea of a gym the workout equipment is equal to or better than what Tumwater valley had to offer and they also have very nice saunas. If you come to this gym later in the evening youll find theres very little people and almost like you have the whole place to yourself its really really nice! I love the 24-hour access that was not available with Tumwater Valley because its like a cult and they would never allow you to be there without everyone there to closely watch babysit monitor and micromanage you.. Already I like the staff that work here so much better. The entire atmosphere feels so much better. I just wished I would have made this decision first but in the beginning I just had no idea what the difference was. I wasnt very knowledgeable about gyms but Ive learned a lot since. I would advise people to give this place a try its wonderful but if you decide to go someplace else my advice would be to go anyplace but Tumwater Valley! Avoid the Valley like the plague! Completely evil and vicious management! I Had my very own personal experience first hand just like all the others you can read about! Never again! I had no idea but the more people I talked to the more stories I read including local news stories I found the more information I learned and its frankly very disturbing! None of its good! Do your own research online and youll find out Im right about the Valley. Now I have found a peaceful place to do my work out and go home happy!

Friendly and clean, nice place. Have been working out with Don Whetstone for about a month and feel better than I have in a long time, its a great experience!

I just arrived home after having my orientation with Donnie. What a great experience!! He gave me a routine to accomplish my goals and was very patient in showing me the machines and how to set them up.I would recommend this facility to everyone!!!

Had a great introduction today, with Donny, to the gym and machines that I will be using. Very friendly staff. Im very impressed with the facility (very clean) and looking forward to getting back in shape. I always like to give the small business owner a chance first.

Whetstone Fitness is an amazing gym and fitness center with great staff and a welcoming environment. Locally-owned and operated, this gym has something for everyone. Whether youre new to fitness or a dedicated musclehead, all are welcome at Whetstone Fitness in our shared effort to improve our bodies and spirits.I took part in the Empowerment Membership and absolutely recommend it. A program that offers both personal training sessions and a comprehensive nutrition plan, it will set you up on the path to success if youre willing to stick with it. I lost over 20 pounds, built up muscle, and improved my overall health thanks to Donnie and the other wonderful people at Whetstone. There are no hidden fees or upsells here. Just a straightforward, excellent gym experience. If you choose to make Whetstone Fitness your gym, youll love it here!

The best place to get empowered and achieve results.

Nice gym, except when you try to end the membership. I signed up for a one year membership, but at one year they continued billing. So I called and asked them (Abby) to stop the billing. She said should would continue billing through next month because it would take 30 days. When I asked why, she got very rude/indigent. My point is, I told you 12 months ago it was a 12 month membership.

This is the best gym I ever been too. If I could give it more stars I sure would. If your looking for a friendly gym come to whetstone. Fitness

My favorite part of the day ... working hard @ Whetstone Fitness.great management personnel for over 15 years. got a great hometown vibe !thanks Donnie, Abbey, Andrea, Chris, Sue & the rest for making Whetstone da bomb!

This is a great place for health, as well as making a beautiful body and helping them well. I really love this

Military & Veterans Beware! The irony here is that the owner is a veteran. Recommended by a friend who informed me that this business is veteran owned. When speaking with the young lady at the front desk and then the owners wife, I identified myself as a veteran and asked about a military discount. I was met with a rude snarky response as to why every person in the military feels entitled to get everything for free or deserves a discount. I said in that case ill go somewhere else, and she replied, Oh God forbid you go somewhere else and complain about not a getting a discount as a veteran, geez, and asked if i wanted to sign up. Ummm No thanks, I would never do business with a company that treats veterans this way. This was right before Christmas and I was shopping for gym memberships for my family. I could care less about receiving a discount if Im treated with respect and dignity. She is not nice, not friendly, has no people skills and carries herself as an entitled elitist who is somehow superior to the military. Maybe because her husband served? Either way Ive been around the military most of my life but have never been treated this way. I was not rude, i simply walked in and asked about a discount on the membership. Im sure this isnt the first incident, probably just the first one reported. I can see why so many privately owned gyms get bought out by National Chains. BS

I appreciate staff helping me with my form or a better way to do an exercise if they see me struggling. Easy to sign up and (cancel, I think compared to L.A. Fitness from what Ive learned). Theyve recently updated their equiment. Its a smaller gym, so equipment is closer together. The busiest times seem to be weekday mornings and around the time follks get off work.

Absolutely love this gym! All the members are so great! And the employees are awesome!😉

Staff are great, other members friendly, knowledge able staff. Great and fun classes

Im so happy to have joined Whetstone last fall! Everyone--from front-desk staff to trainers--is so helpful and generous with their time and advice. The locker-rooms, workout rooms and equipment are all kept clean (and there are ample cleaning supplies around for folks to clean equipment before and after, but the staff also appears regularly to clean, all day long). Personal training with Donnie has helped me get stronger and work around some old injuries--nice to see that muscle definition appearing in a menopausal body! Pam helps advise about core and other training whenever asked, Chris is always a high-energy motivator, whether its TRX or one of the Les Mills classes. And Ive been able to retain my conditioning with the variety of cardio options that allow me to work around the hamstring injury I got last fall thats preventing me from running for awhile. Finally, its so great to be able to go in any time due to the 24-hour access. I always feel safe, no matter what time I work out! Thanks, Everyone!

Friendly staff that are serious about helping you achieve your goals!

Best gym in Oly.

Clean and friendly privately owned gym.

Great gym, excellent staff, VERY clean.

Best Gym Around!

Best fitness club in town!

Its okay. Missing some essentials, and the owner just walks around mean mugging people. Its weird.

Best gym ever!!!
