Balance Gym Capitol Hill

Great no-frills gym with supportive staff, right in the heart of Capitol Hill. Clean and well maintained. Has everything you need for most workouts. Plenty of equipment, free weights, and machines. Classes available, although I haven't partaken. Highly recommend Eric for personal training - he's great to work with as a gym newbie jumping into fitness and weight loss. I wanted more of a workout partner than a drill sergeant - Eric put my mind at ease with multiple options, and crafts the perfect workouts designed to hit my goals every week. Results after a few months have been noticeable, and still going!

This gym has been my home for training and getting a workout in for years. The facilities are top notch especially the large studio spaces but what stood out after touring other gyms in the area are the staff!!! Owen, Moses, Noel, Josh and Josh— they are so friendly it makes such a welcoming space to come.🫶

This gym is great. I like to go early before classes (with loud music) start. Many, many machines and lots of equipment for strength work. I'm new to gyms, so personal training with Josh has been vital to me. He pushes always a little harder than I think I can manage but then I do (the thing, whatever it is). I have made more progress with strength than I would have ever imagined in this amount of time. He seems to track exactly where I am and make sure he's showing me the new point of failure in every session. Thanks to all the friendly and encouraging staff!

Very nice gym but if you cancel they do have SHADY practice's. If you read other reviews they also say the same thing. I have been trying to cancel my membership for 2 months now. I’ve called around 6 times & the first 2 rimes the worker(s) gave me the wrong email to submit my cancellation too. The other times, I have called the front desk. They told me the manager Jacob “wasn’t in” or “left & would be back in an hour or so” I called around the time they said he would be back & he still wasn’t in. I wish I had known that canceling my membership would be like pulling teeth because I would have NOT joined this gym. It seems like they make canceling very difficult & run you in circles in order for you to give up. I sent out another email 2 days ago with the manager Jacob’s email. I’m hoping I will get my refund for June & that my membership has been canceled but have NOT heard anything yet.

Great gym overall, you get everything you need. Very powerlifting-friendly place (it has deadlifting platforms, a number of good racks and benches, chalk, etc). Staff made us feel very welcome! Definitely would recommend. Also 25$ for a day pass is a very reasonable price considering what they have to offer. No matter if you do powerlifting/weightlifting, bodybuilding, functional training or group fitness, I feel like this gym has it all.
