Best Gyms with Cardio Machines near Lake-stevens, Washington

Today was my first visit to this facility in Lake Stevens, Wa. When I signed up, I was assured there would be someone on the floor to assist on proper use of the equipment. I started on a bike just to warm up. Once done with the warm up I looked around for a particular machine that I used in physical therapy. I found two, sat down and was unable to determine the proper use. I proceeded to the front desk as I could not identify any employee on the floor. The front desk girl (Sofia) said she could not leave the front desk. Then informed me the person who would be able to help was in a class. She asked me "what machine did I have questions about"? I told her I did not know the name. She then walked away to help another member as I stood there. She than got back to me and asked me again what machine? I explained for a second time I did not know. At this point there was no reason to stay any longer. I asked her to cancel the membership. I do not feel there should be any monthly charge for a ten minute bike ride and no explanation on that machine either. Not everyone can just walk into a gym and know how all the equipment works. Very disappointed as I was looking forward to a gym experience in my new neighborhood. I would not recommend Planet Fitness. I expect a full refund on this account. Michelle Thomas

I have a positive experience at this gym overall. It provides the amenities and services it advertises. While I do notice it can get busy at times, I haven’t observed any issues with people working out. The machines are in good condition, and the atmosphere is friendly. Additionally, the pricing is reasonable. I’m giving it a 5-star rating for now because I truly believe they are doing a great job and I hope they continue to maintain this standard.

It was a great experience for the price and equipment is generally always working and clean. Riley at customer service desk is very friendly and always welcomes with a smile, she deserves 5stars. Gym usually is packed on Mon, Tuesday 3-8PM but the app needs fixed as it always only shows max 2 bars for people but when you turn up, gym’s quite full. Overall good experience

Please put more signs up telling members to wipe off the machines. I’ve seen so many people not wiping down the equipment or in the black card spa. This makes it easier for people to get sick and people with weak immune systems like myself shouldn’t have to go through that because people are dirty and inconsiderate. No bad reviews for the gym but it’s the MEMBERS that need to do better. Also members should be held accountable for not following something as simple like that since it actually impacts people and can get them sick.

Half of the ellipticals rock around and make weird noises when you use them. Other than that, there is a decent amount of equipment for someone who is just doing general fitness activities. The mirrors everywhere are a bit annoying, but I guess that can be useful for watching your form or something while you lift weights. Would be nice if at least the different areas of the gym were partitioned off so that you aren't constantly accidentally staring at people. Would probably allow a lot of people to feel more comfortable working out.

Pursuit Fitness in Lake Stevens leaves a lot to be desired. The gym and bathrooms are dirty, and equipment is often scattered and out of place, making it hard to find what you need. The manager is incredibly disrespectful and lacks basic customer service skills. For the higher price compared to Planet Fitness (literally right next door), I expected better quality and cleanliness, but this gym falls short. The gym is consistently busy, making it hard to use equipment without waiting. As for the sauna, it’s a joke. It barely produces heat and feels more like a warm closet than a proper sauna due to cold air constantly leaking through the thin wood panels Harsh bright white lights make it feel like you’re more of an asylum than you are a gym. Please at a minimum explore the gym, make sure it’s what you want, then wait 2 days to think about it before you do something foolish like signing a 12 month contract with a gym you realize will never suit you (also the bathroom fan is much better at making noise than blowing air) About 15-20% of the machines are old and unserviced, which causes dangerous conditions, loud noise, and worn out parts. There is a constant high pitched ear piercing noise in the main room, every day. But hey, at least the front desk staff were nice. Save yourself the money and frustration, Planet Fitness is a much better option in every way. If you plan to respond to this review, please do so in an open minded manner, I hope this critique will help pursuit improve and potentially compete with planet fitness one day. PS: Eric if your seeing this I hope one day you can look past your fragile ego 💔 If I can save one person from coming here, my purpose is fulfilled. Also if you want to win any of their competitions, you’re going to need to glaze the gym with good reviews to wash out all the real reviews. “Written testimonial” this so called competition is nothing more than an advertising campaign. and with their entry fee, are they even giving away any money? I think not. It’s more of a glorified lottery except in this one you must say good things or be punished.

I travel a lot and use different gyms, currently live down south and use this gym when Iam in town. All the machines are newer as the gym seems to have been remodeled recently (used to work out her years ago and was much different) I love all the upgraded equipment and the way everything is set up. I can say this is my favorite gym I’ve worked out in the area. I read the negative review left a week ago and couldn’t believe it. Sounds like a promoter from planet zoo. Don’t necessarily have to get a 12 month contract, they have month to month as well. I usually get a week pass when coming to visit.

Love this place and the updates they have made to it. Very spacious so I can breathe while doing my workouts and love that they have a sauna in the locker room. The staff is amazing! Esther is my trainer who I have sessions with once a week, she believes in me when I don't and literally makes me realize how much stronger I am than I think. She is also so easy going and makes the training sessions fun, I always look forward to my sessions with her! I've had other trainers at different gyms but Esther is the best trainer yet! Thanks Pursuit Fitness for taking over this gym it was much needed, you all are amazing!

I’ve been loving this gym! Switched here from the YMCA since it’s closer to home and has good childcare. My kids enjoy the childcare and I have peace of mind while they’re there. This is my happy place. Best part of my day. Love getting an hour of me time and a chance to workout uninterrupted. The staff is so kind and friendly! Ryan helped sign me up and did my personal training and nutrition consult and was so helpful getting me set up with a plan. Whenever I walk in everyone is happy and seems genuinely thrilled to see me getting to the gym and it makes me feel supported with my fitness goals. The environment is very peaceful, clean, there’s enough equipment to go around, it’s clean, and overall a beautiful facility.

Ryan has been working with me for the better part of 9 months now and I couldn't be more pleased. He is extremely knowledgeable, super fun to work with and an excellent communicator. He knows the ins and outs of what we are doing, why we are doing it, and how to improve. Removing the TVs wasn't my personal favorite business decision but the gym is extremely clean, well kept, great machines, can't beat the 24 hour availability, and the gym culture there is extremely supportive and positive. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The facility itself is fine. It's nothing special or state of the art but it gets the job done. The customer service aspect has been absolutely abysmal. We recently had issues with our key fobs malfunctioning and not granting us access. We've tried calling multiple times, leaving multiple voicemails and even went in person to ring the doorbell and nobody answers or has gotten back to us. So we're continuing to pay for a service that we can't even access. And to the automated response for bad reviews, that "encourages us to contact them directly"--yeah that's what I've been trying to do and have been flat out ignored. Which I suspect is going to happen this time as well.

Best location I’ve been to. Staff is super friendly. Place is clean. And great equipment.

I swing by this location of occasionally (at different hours) when I can’t make it to my home location in Mill Creek. This locations facilities are ALWAYS clean as a whistle, which for me is a big deal in a shared space.

I’ve been trying to cancel my membership for over a year and they will not let me because I signed a “contract” which I’ve never heard of a gym that will not let you cancel. On top of that the gym is tiny for what they charge people I pay 24$ EVERY 2 WEEKS for a gym I don’t go to anymore. STAY AWAY FROM THIS GYM

Excellent gym. Very clean and under new management. Trainers are fantastic!!!
