Emerald City Athletics - Wallingford

I recently joined ESA, and have loved it so far! The staff is very helpful and friendly, and there is a very welcoming gym community. Champion classes are fun and challenging. Highly recommend!

Amazing GM and staff. Working with Phil and Sky was exceptional and it’s clear that they genuinely care about creating a positive and supportive environment. I have been looking for the right gym for the past 3 years since moving to Seattle and I have tried a number of places. All I can say that no one made me feel as comfortable, excited, and welcomed as Phil and Sky did. Phil gave me the tour of the gym and we chatted about my goals and motivation for joining. Phil clearly had a ton of experience and as we talked, I felt he genuinely prioritized my goals and concerns. He took the time to help me figure out the best plan moving forward so I could feel comfortable, confident, and knowledgeable in the gym (and without breaking the bank). They offer some really amazing promotions as well as a very long free trial period, but I never felt pushed or pressured to sign up - unlike at other gyms I’ve tried. The Wallingford location has a truly positive and supportive vibe. If you’re like me and feel intimidated or overwhelmed by big gym environments, I highly recommend talking to Phil and he will make sure you’re taken care of! If I could give 6 stars, I absolutely would

Super knowledgeable and helpful when you sign up. They are fully staffed and know what they are talking about. If you are serious in getting in shape check it out. Very worth the price. The gym is very clean and all the machines are great.

I attended a Yelp event here recently and was impressed by the fantastic staff. We enjoyed a complimentary group class and hydro massage, along with snacks and drinks. The gym has a cool green vibe, and the equipment and trainers are top-notch. Definitely recommend checking it out!

I have been going to this gym for almost 10 years. Their champions program is a great weekly program and can be scaled to any level. I have seen this program grow and change and is a good mix of exercises. This program will help you get comfortable with all movements and if you want, other olympic lifts. The gym has recently added boxing program, led by Coach Wes. This has been a great add on to my weekly routine. It is it bit more cardio intensive but worth it. I have enjoyed my time here and the coaches and staff are great.
