Best Gyms with Functional Training Equipment near Seattle, Washington

I went to this gym over the weekend with a friend who was a member. The staff there were unprofessional. The front desk person was upset I didn’t fill out a waiver before coming. It was a spur of the moment idea and I figured they had forms for me to fill out there, which they did. After we filled out the paperwork needed we asked the team if that’s all that was needed. We were ignored, we asked a second time and they rolled their eyes and said no… and went over proper fall guidelines etc. Filling out a form and going over safety measures is expected, but the poor attitude from the staff is not. I’ve been a member at Vertical world, and momentum here in the Seattle area, and numerous other gyms in different cities. I haven’t had this experience at any other gym. Overall the routes are fun, and there’s plenty of space. The gym itself is fine. But I would recommend going somewhere else that welcomes a more fun environment!

I love this place…but over $100 a month is not justified when they have this many members. You have to wait to use any space in the gym or a wall from 4pm on every day. Nearby gyms cost less and are more spacious. Quite literally the weights run out and you have to step over people to get to the other side of the gym. SBP, I highly recommend you better use your space. You have a lot of unused space throughout the gym. For example, the basement stairs area. People rarely use the light board. The kids area is not often used and it is nearly as large as the entire weights area. I think if you better layout your space you can better accommodate your members and make your gym even more awesome!

Great gym. Love the sets here. All the routes are always so fun and challenging. The range setting really encourages me to try routes I wouldn’t think to. No one at the front desk is very friendly here but it’s a great gym none the less. I’ve taken several classes and the instructors were all very helpful. Milo and some guy named Alex or maybe Derek I don’t remember. Very informative.

It's pretty stingy to not let members use their 2 free guest passes per month how they like. Now you can only bring one particular person once every 30 days. So you still get 2 passes but it's super regulated and I am unclear on the reason why other than what appears to be pure greed. Climbing there is fun though so if you don't mind that the whole pricing structure is set up to take advantage of the customer (making you pay them a whole month even if you're injured, busy, or ill and literally can't climb, yes you can get a doctors note but come on what is this, middle school?) then it is worth it. Just to clarify, if you happen to get injured on the 27th of a month you're already too late to cancel for the next month but if you are injured on the 26th then you only miss out on the last days of the month. Unless you have the extra time and pray that your doctor has an appointment right away and will write you a note. They claim this is to make it "easier" on their staff but they just made it harder on their staff trying to track non members using an SBP members free guess pass to attend the gym more than once per 30 days. So if it helps SBP it's okay for their staff to do some extra work, but if it helps the customers to not be paying during times they can't even use the gym then they claim it's too much work. Convenient...Also not being able to freeze a pre bought year of membership is another massive show that they do not care about their customers but don't need to. They make enough money to alienate long term members and be fine. Part of becoming a corporate money maker I guess. I don't even really have a problem with the massive price hikes since it's so popular, but I don't like how they have it set up so that they are getting money from people who aren't even able to use their gym if they are injured, ill, or some other emergency comes up. But I think the gyms themselves are really fun and so is the climbing. The staff has always been friendly. And with 4 gyms in Seattle you can never complain about the amount of new routes. This place would get an easy 5 stars if I felt their pricing was more fair to the customer.

Great environment and spacious facility. The routes were interesting and the waiting line was short.

I've been a member here for almost 3 years and I must say that this is the best gym I've ever gone to. Avery is a fantastic manager, keeping the facilities clean and quiet, and the atmosphere friendly. Jacky is a killer trainer with endless knowledge about technique and building a personalized approach. Thanks to the whole Fremont Anytime Fitness team for making this gym such a pleasant experience!

Very interesting place. Went there a few times, no issues, then suddenly my pass stopped working. Turns out they revoked my pass because I’m on a corporate “ insurance “ program. Didn’t even notify me of this until I had to call. An email could have gone a long way, could have saved me a hassle of going there only to found out I can’t go in. Unsure how these franchises work but alright. Lesson learned for next time

Been a member at this location for about two years now. Have nothing but good things to say. Always clean. Parking is very accessible and inexpensive. Ample storage for belongings. Friendly staff. If I wasn’t moving, I’d stay at this location for as long as I can.

recently relocated to the Seattle area and proud to have this location as my new permanent location. although the gym is small in size, it’s mighty. there is a lot of high quality and updated equipment available and it’s not too overcrowded(my personal favorite aspect). I recently found out about the ability to access another popular gym nearby at half the cost of my membership here. of course wanting to save money, I gave it a try (also primarily because the other gym has a sauna). the experience there was incompatible with my daily experience at this location. I still kept the other membership to use the sauna when needed but continue to use my this location for my primary workouts! the price is more then local gyms but you get what you pay for. it all comes down to if you feel your health and wellness journey is worth the investment or not.

Great gym and staff. Sean, Avery, Jacky, and Haley are super friendly, helpful, and welcoming. The Fremont location is smaller but has most of the equipment you need. Love the personal gym training session included with your membership. This gym is super clean with cleaning supplies practically at every machine. Always happy to come to this location.

Great layout especially for the space. Currently, you have to reserve a time slot ahead of time and once you get there they check your temperature (Edit: this is no longer the case). Lots of climbing space and storage cubbies especially with the limited capacity and requirement to reserve 1 1/2 hour time slots ahead of your visit. There is are a good variety of excellent problems as expected for SBP. If this wasn't a satellite of the main Fremont gym it could be seen as a bit overpriced at $18 for a day visit, but hopefully once things are able to be opened fully it is easy to go between this satellite and the main gym.

This is a great spot for more problems if the main Fremont Seattle Bouldering Project is crowded, or if you need to switch it up—it’s just around the corner. I’ve found it to be less crowded in general here, and if you go during the day on weekdays, you can sometimes get it to yourself. It’s so great to have 3 different SBP locations now. This one is just climbing—no workout equipment or workout areas.

Keeps going downhill. The setting pretty bad unless you like all comp style. (All the good setters don’t want to work for a big chain). Holds are all greasy because it’s so busy and they don’t reset enough. They changed their guest pass policy so you can’t bring the same friend twice. Super lame.

Upper Walls has a different layout than the other Seattle Bouldering Project gyms. This facility is located a walk up the road from Fremont and only offers bouldering. There are no workout areas or boards. However, the arrangement here has seating in the center of the room and is great for resting. Would recommend going to Poplar or Fremont but if those gyms are busy than give this one a climb!

No crowds, and very entertaining and challenging routes. It is such a great deal for the members. This is an awesome boulder gym to have in the neighborhood on it's own. I get a good workout every time here.

What an amazing gym!!!!! Visited yesterday with a free day pass as looking to maybe move here. Was given a tour and then set loose to enjoy. It's massive, so many different areas to train in. All the equipment is very modern and new and there's something for everyone! Lots of studios offering so many different classes. Something for everyone. The sauna/steam room/Jacuzzi in the changing room was a lovely touch as well.

It would be cool if it was 24 hours. Love this gym. It’s beautiful. Staff is friendly. Sauna steam are inconsistent sometimes hot sometimes warm. Sometimes they use too much essential oils it’s harsh. I wish it was easier to sign up for the pools Towels are old and small but overall I like this place. I go out of my way to go here and the value is good.

Love this gym. Highly recommend. + pool + sauna/steam + good hours + abundance of equipment + great work out stations + love the staff!!! - toxic level of essential oils in the steam room makes me SICK. Don’t need any of the essential oils in there. - dry sauna smells bad sometimes. - no drinking water in the locker rooms. - hard to get swimming reservation and people will steal your spot. - weekends close at 9pm. - members don’t appreciate how hard the staff works to clean and leaves wet towels everywhere (gross).

This gym is my home away from home! They have amazing childcare which is a huge help being a new mom, and I love swimming laps and relaxing in the women’s locker room hot tub after! All around wonderful gym! And the recent renovations are fabulous!

Although it's a good well-equipped gym, it's almost impossible to workout here. Every second I hear someone dropping their weights loudly, no one reracks their wesights, and no one cleans after themself. It's like this gym exclusively attracts worst behaved gymgoers. And during rush hours it's impossible to get a squat rack. They should start enforcing some basic rules or at least give basic gym etiquette talk when they give tours to people joinig this gym. I'm canceling my membership and getting away from this gym as I cannot bear this constant improper behavior.

Really loving the gym! Has everything you need, good bathroom, people have been very chill. Mostly people stick to themselves. Easy to find parking around the area. And the owner includes some excellent dad jokes on the board at the front!

I was a member for a few months back in 2022 and I had a very positive experience. Super easy to sign up and cancel. The gym is small but has everything that you need. Never crowded and super clean (I saw the owner cleaning the equipment a couple times). Much better experience than any other big box gyms.

This gym has everything I ever need, and there's never a wait for equipment. Ownership is good people. If one of the locations is in your area, you could do much worse.

One of the only great gyms in Beacon Hill. It has all the essential equipment you would expect at a gym with some extras. It's clean, organized and very easy to access. They play a nice variety of music at a relatively low volume (so you can still listen to your own without issue). Highly recommend!

I don't know anything really about other than people go here to walk in place and lift heavy things repeatedly. I just live above it. And in general don't agree with it. The folks that go their are friendly. I don't want to think about it anymore. Google stop telling me to write a review .
