This is easily the best gym Ive been a member of and I cant recommend it enough.The community atmosphere here is incredible. I always feel motivated and supported by both the coaches and fellow students.The coaches are all very knowledgeable and help you get your form just right. They also encourage you to push yourself (which I really need!). At the end of each workout I fell drained but then feel amazing for the rest of the day!I have found the style of class/training extremely effective. In 2 months of going 2-3 times per week I feel Ive made more progress than I had on other programs in the past (including ones where I work out more frequently for longer).

I almost dont want to tell you all how awesome my gym is. Theres limited class sizes.Really though, this place is a gem. Everyone there is supportive, knows their stuff, and wants to help you get better - whatever that means for you.The gym is super clean, and has basically all the equipment you could ask for. The group classes are fun, paced well, and useful for all levels. (I was skeptical, but its true.)

This gym offers two things that are awesome:1.) Small functional fitness classes.2.) Personal training with top level professionals.There are limitations on class sizes and the number of personal training clients at any given time so the gym is never crowded and is always clean.As of 8/13/21 they require masking and proof of vaccination....so nobody gets sick at the gym.Before I started coming to NWPF and working with personal trainer Zachary Elder I was at the chiro 1-2 times per week and still in PT months after having surgery on my knee. Having beat on my body my entire life as a football and rugby player and Triathlete I credit my recovery now as a late 30-something professional to this gym, its owners and to Zach my trainer. This week I will travel to Iceland for a week of fly fishing on foot. Two years ago I could not even go for a walk and now I will be hiking 5-15 miles per day and throwing dry flies at giant brown trout. The improvement in my physical fitness and athletic ability is directly related to the work I and these great people have put in at NWPF.

NW Fitness Project for personal training has been an absolutely awesome experience. I have felt myself get stronger and more fit week over week. My trainer Kyle is super attentive and personable. They are great at either helping you target a specific goal or build general fitness. Having gone through a lot of different fitness classes/hobbies/goals/etc, they make it easy and fun to commit and stick with it.

NW Fitness Project is an exceptional place! The trainers here are extremely knowledgeable, fun and motivating. They meet me where I’m at while also encouraging me to lean outside of my comfort zones. Throughout the pandemic they have been adaptable and a huge cornerstone to my well being. I always look forward to my workouts!

Great gym that is taking Covid seriously! They have excellent trainers that come up with diverse and interesting workouts. The training style of the gym closely matches what Ive read in scientific literature as the best way to train for lifelong fitness. I previously tried to train on my own but I could never push myself as hard as I do with the trainers.

Matt is an absolutely fantastic trainer. Hes extremely focused on safety and form, he knows how far to push to get results and he has a very supportive demeanor while being very strong on the task at hand. When Im feeling a little chatty, he listens but politely (smartly) steers me to the next set. I have already seen results in how I feel, and how I do, and I feel Matt is as invested in my success as I am. Its rare to find anyone as good at what they do as Matt is at what he does.

This gym is easily the best gym I have found in Seattle. It is extremely clean, top equipment, the staff and owners are very professional, and the workouts are well rounded and great. At first I was intimidated to try this gym and the workouts but that quickly went away with the combination of the quality coaching and ability to scale the difficulty of the workouts. Also seems to be a great community of people. I highly recommend!

I feel so lucky to have found Kyle and NW Fitness Project! The programming and community are top notch. Every workout is challenging and different, so you never get bored. The small class sizes really allow for a personalized fitness approach and Kyle always has modifications based on injuries or personal preferences. Throughout my pregnancy, Kyle has made sure to adapt the workouts to keep me safe (and strong!). The gym has also adapted quickly to COVID precautions and changing rules, with a large variety of Zoom classes and now outdoor classes. Working out at NW Fitness Project is always one of the highlights of my week.

I love this gym! After a few months of walking past and admiring the shiny new gym in my neighborhood, I finally started taking classes at NWFP in the fall of 2017, and have been a consistent customer ever since. Kyle, one of the co-owners and a trainer, knew my name in my very first class and went out of his way to make sure he understood my fitness needs and to make me feel welcome. My classmates gave me high fives and cheered me on as I sweated through a genuinely challenging workout. I had a blast and was instantly hooked on working out with such friendly folks at every fitness level.Kyle and Matt (the other co-owner) are great trainers and are experts at shaping a workout for the individual needs of each student- even in 8 person group classes. As I was preparing for my wedding, they even took an interest in which parts of my body I wanted to tone so I could rock my dress when the day came.When I got pregnant last year, I was even more impressed with their dedication to their clients health and wellness. Kyle, Matt, and all the other trainers worked with me closely, always making sure I was staying safe and modifying appropriately for each stage of my pregnancy. Because of their help, I was able to continue working out until 39 weeks and return as soon as my doctor cleared me at six weeks postpartum. Their care and consideration have continued since I came back and have been a critical part of my recovery.I cant recommend this gym highly enough (especially for pregnant and postpartum folks)! Every day that I make it to class, is just a little better than the days I skip. NWFP is truly is a community, and I feel lucky to have found a gym, a family, and a home right in my neighborhood!

NW Fitness Project is a great gym in Seattles Freemont neighborhood. I have been going here since they opened and would reccommend to friends, family, and my patients to attend. I enjoy their communication via newsletter or social media, fitness style, and the community they have built to be professional and inspiring. Their online/virtual training has been such a staple during this pandemic. Thank you NWFP!

Deciding to call NWFP about a personal trainer is one of the best decisions Ive made in the past two years. They paired me with a great trainer that I get along really well with, and I have complete confidence that they know what they are doing. They also do an amazing job gently pushing me toward a healthier lifestyle in general, checking in on if Im making time for cardio during in the week. It has been like making a new friend that is encouraging me to make good choices.Ive been very happy with my progress as well. After my first session I could barely walk out of the gym. Now I leave my sessions feeling great and finish them 30 minutes on the treadmill. Ive lost about 15 pounds while becoming stronger. Im as fit now as Ive ever been.My previous experience paying for a gym was with crossfit about six years ago. Im happy to have tried crossfit, and I have nothing against it. I felt great after each workout. However it was a chore for me to get up to go to crossfit in the morning, and I always secretly hoped that the teacher wouldnt show up. The one time he didnt, I was euphoric. Training sessions are a much better fit for me. I look forward to them and have never dreaded them.When I first decided to call NWFP, I figured in the worst case it would be a repeat of my crossfit experience--I probably wouldnt like it, but Id get a bit stronger and become a bit more comfortable in a gym for when I am on my own. Instead Ive found the first workouts of my life I actually look forward to, Ive become stronger and healthier, and I am indeed now more comfortable in a gym when I do go on my own.I cant recommend them highly enough.

I did three drop-in classes here during my stay in Seattle for the week! Highly recommend the cardio fitness class with Matt and Kyle. Wasnt sure what to expect initially, but it was definitely worth it. Workouts were challenging, but not overwhelming and you feel it the next day! Classes were small and comfortable. Its totally possible to work out with a mask on and everything is sanitized after each workout. Im not used to handling weights while I work out, but here I felt that my safety was a priority overall and they were quick to correct me before I seriously injured myself. Would drop in again next time in the area!

I cannot say enough about how awesome this gym is. I love the small group classes (8 people or less in-person pre-Covid) which provides a great balance of team atmosphere and personal coaching at the same time. The coaches are constantly pushing themselves and their clients to improve... functional fitness at its finest! Ive been going here for almost two years now and went from barely being able to run/jump due to knee and ankle pain to being able to run and jump with zero pain. I feel strong and healthy...what more could anyone ask for?Also they get huge kudos for keeping us rocking the workouts remotely during Covid, with multiple live classes a day over zoom....ensuring zero excuses to not get a workout in!

I came to NW Fitness Project looking for a place that was going to help me improve my movement patterns, strength, cardiovascular endurance and above all, I wanted a place that embraced body positivity and could get excited about working with me with the body I have, not despite it. I found all of that at NW Fitness Project! From day 1 the coaches there have been engaging, motivating, and still are able to run a damn hard class (while also emphasizing safe movements). Ive been really impressed with the great atmosphere, and cant wait to continue to build my strength and my skills here!

I own a gym in Milwaukee and wanted to check out a great gym while in Seattle visiting. Definitely went to the right place by stopping in here. Kyle put on a great class and it was everything you would have hoped for with small group strength training. Anyone in Seattle should definitely check this place out.

NW Fitness Project is the best and Im constantly telling everyone I know that they should work out here.The workouts are different each day, are tough but fun and interesting and the format makes the time go by quickly. I appreciate the time management of the class -- workouts start on time and I feel like every last minute is used well to help me get an awesome workout. Warm ups and cool down stretches are tailored to the muscles used in the workout.The coaches have known my name since my first day, are knowledgeable and friendly and always go the extra mile -- sometimes workouts and playlists are even themed with whatever is going on that week (Game of Thrones finale, Superbowl, etc.). They spend just the right amount of time explaining how to do the movements correctly, know what weights each individual should use, and give you lots of support during the workout to make sure you dont get hurt and are pushing yourself to work as hard as you can. High fives, dad jokes and some silliness are a part of the deal.The facility is beautiful and clean and equipment is nice and new. They have lockers, 2 restrooms and 2 showers, and garage doors that let the fresh air in on a nice Seattle day.Other gym members I have met are friendly and encouraging. People of all ages, shapes, sizes, colors, and experience levels are welcome here and its a positive and respectful atmosphere.Parking is limited to the street but is not too bad in Fremont -- I can always find a spot even if I have to circle the block a few times. The unlimited gym membership is more than Ive paid at other class-based gyms but I have found that 1) its worth it for everything youre getting (see above^) and that the cost gives me a little extra motivation to get to class more often.All in all, this is one of the best gyms youll find in Seattle and you should check it out.

I get my smartest workouts here.All the reviews are spot on. I just started the group training classes 3-4 weeks ago and I already feel the difference both physically and mentally. The exercises are always thoughtful and interesting, Matt and Kyle care deeply about your form and posture, and I even feel like the warmups and warm downs are smarter.I’m always excited to work out and the people energize me. Half the battle is just showing up, and Kyle and Matt make that part super easy.

As a fat person, who often feels marginalized because of my appearance, I can’t tell you how much this welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental gym (and it’s trainers) has meant to me. It has become a reliable, safe place for me to workout even when the rest of my life gets really, really hard.If you live in Seattle, love to sweat, and/or want to join a positive, uplifting gym, definitely check out NW Fitness Project. All race, gender identity, sexuality, and waistlines are safe here.

I just hit my 1 year mark with NW Fitness Project and have loved every minute of my experience. Kyle is a fantastic instructor and one of the most customer-centric, devoted small business owners I’ve met. His group classes are kept small (~8ppl), so he can help people understand each exercise and make modifications as needed. Despite it being group training, Kyle’s classes feel like private training for a solid hour each class given the hands-on attention each class member receives—an impressive feat for an 8-person class. I joined NW Fitness Project with a few goals in mind, one of which was to prepare for a climb of Mt Hood in Oregon (11,250 ft). Thanks to Kyle’s group training classes, I made it to 11K feet no problem and now feel capable of attempting another, longer climb. Can’t speak highly enough of this gym and Kyle as an instructor/owner.

If youre looking to go to the gym simply to tell others you have a gym membership, this place is not for you. If youre looking for a long lasting support system and legit workouts that are going to improve your overall strength and wellness, then head directly there now. Matt and Kyle know what theyre doing and know how to get results. The work will be hard. But it will also be fun. And, most of all, it will work. Without the fancy gimmicks. Or the overuse of machines. Or the fads. But with the basics that have proven to work time and time again.

NWFP is an excellent community for gym-goers of all shapes, sizes, and experience levels. When I joined I was recovering from a shoulder injury and the trainers did an excellent job of modifying my workouts during the group classes to ensure I dont further aggravate or re-injure myself. The space itself is extremely clean and well kept and the owners are passionate and energetic about maintaining a positive and uplifting gym environment. Cant recommend this place more!

Review №35

I dont even live in Seattle, and this has been one of my favorite places to work out.I originally found NW Fitness Project on ClassPass when I was in town visiting visiting my parents from San Francisco; I was training for a Tough Mudder at the time, and Matt and Kyles classes were some of the most challenging but also most motivating classes and supportive classes I had attended to date. I ended up coming back regularly when I was living in Seattle for a few months to care for my mom while she was on hospice. It was a particularly awful period of my life, and working out was one activity that I tried to sustain to help me cope with what was going on. Whenever I stepped foot in this place, I was greeted by name by Matt or Kyle (something that is so simple to do, and means so much) and always felt welcomed and like I had a space of my own in the city when everything else felt incredibly unstable. No one at NWFP knew any of this, but the point is that it didnt matter. They treat everyone with kindness and grace, and that stuff matters to people.I highly recommend this place and the great humans that run it.

Ive been to many gyms and this one is by far my favorite. The trainers are very good at what they do. They give the same attention and care whether its your first day or you 500th and they are always willing to do what they can to help you with your fitness goals. The community is also great at NW Fitness project. Everyone is there to work hard and have fun. You will be welcomed regardless of your ability or anything else. Youll always get encouragement and push you need to work hard and feel better about yourself. If you have any questions or doubts just talk to anyone that works out at NWFP!

I cant say enough how much I love this gym community. I started out using class pass to attend, but fell in love with the trainers and the rest of the athletes in the group classes.

Matt, Kyle, and the training staff at NW Fitness Project have created an amazing community of athletes from all fitness backgrounds. Ive been training with Matt for about a year now and have been attending group classes at NW Fitness Project for a bit longer.As a personal trainer, Matt has consistently exceeded my expectations. I work as a mountain guide and lost a bunch of upper body strength after two expeditions to the Himalaya -- Cho Oyu and Chomolungma (Everest). Matt has accommodated my unusual work schedule, programmed for my esoteric fitness goals, and helped me get back into the best shape of my life. He goes the extra mile to research what types of movements and adaptations are worthwhile to train and is extremely receptive to feedback. I cannot recommend him enough, whether you are trying to lose a few pounds or tackle a big athletic endeavor.The group fitness class are also amazing. As co-owners of the gym, Matt and Kyle have created a welcoming and supportive environment that transforms each of us into athletes for these well-programmed and challenging group fitness classes. While the classes are well-attended, Matt and Kyle are able to provide individual feedback and encouragement throughout the class. This is my regular dose of metabolic conditioning and HIIT.

NW Fitness Project is far and away the best place Ive ever worked out - and Ive tried just about everything (big name gyms, small local spots, classpass, etc). Having played sports most of my life, I was looking for a challenging workout in a group setting. Kyle & Matt are excellent trainers who really know their stuff, and they are lovely people to boot. You can tell that they care about their clients, and are always modifying the group classes to suit fitness levels and injuries. When my husband tore his ACL, they worked with his physical therapy clinic (above and beyond, IMO!) to modify workouts so he was able to get his mobility and strength back in record time. In addition to all that - the workouts will get you into shape, there is no doubt about that!

Come join this growing Fitness Family! Ive been tinkering around with fitness and going to all sorts of gyms since about 2003 and NWFP has everything Ive been missing. Everyone at NWFP wants you to succeed at your goals. Kyle & Matt have put their passion to work and are showcasing their wealth of knowledge with workouts that challenge all abilities. Both guys make sure they keep educated on new techniques and in 10 months with NWFP Ive yet to see the same workout twice.Sometimes people worry about the price of a gym...and that seems silly. I know people that debate more about the type of gas they put in their cars, the food they buy for their pets or the happy hour they are going to attend and they are cheap when it comes to budgeting for what theyre willing to invest on themselves... Im guilty. When Kyle and Matt opened NWFP I decided to invest in my health and so far NWFP is paying off in spades!AND THERES YOGA on Sundays! I recommend trying that too!!
