Bellingham Fitness

I love the availability of different equipment Bellingham Fitness has and I strongly appreciate how Scott welcomed both me and my toddler twins in. The daycare is great and I love how I was able to keep my membership after needing a break for personal reasons with an incredibly small fee. I definitely noticed a change in my body and the gym boosted my motivation to better myself so I’m very glad I came here and that I’m a member here.

I love this gym! It’s usually quiet and hardly ever gets too full. The members are super respectful of each other, and the weight section is not just exclusively power-lifting men. I love the power pump class, and can’t believe that it is included in the price of the membership! Going twice a week to that alone is worth the membership fee.Huge shoutout to Scott, one of the owners. He’s always so friendly and chatty, and today literally helped me dig through the trash to find something!

Prior to joining Bellingham Fitness, I had been a member of another club for over 20 years. The first thing I noticed when I arrived was the welcoming staff, especially David and Amber. The next positive impression was the cleanliness and a very large selection of equipment. That's all great but let me get back to staff. David is always ready to help and Amber is always welcoming and personal with a great sense of humor. People like Amber give the gym a welcoming personality. It was hard to leave my old gym due to the relationships I had developed over the years. Within about 4-6 weeks I felt totally at home at Bellingham Fitness.

I decided to get back in shape and look for a personal trainer to do it. I've been out of shape for many years, but knew it was time. I searched online and came across the 6 week fitness challenge. Todd, one of the part owners of the gym, gave me an intro session and signed me up for the challenge. He's a great guy and I really enjoyed talking with him. I followed the diet plan and workout schedule (M,W,F workout classes, and then working out T,Th,Sa on my own, although I have to admit I skipped a good bit of these off day workouts towards the end, and maybe 3 classes).The last week and a half I ate less than the plan said, just to make sure I made the goal. I ended up meeting my fitness goal and losing 25 lb in 6 weeks! I went down from 210 to 185 lb. This worked very quickly and I highly recommend it. You can't cheat on the diet, though, or it won't work. Stick with it and be disciplined, and it will work!The key for me was sticking to the diet plan no matter what, and when in the classes, focusing just on me and my progress and not comparing myself to anyone else. It was hard in the first week, and I just had to do what I could do, but my endurance and strength got better and better each week. Just don't give up, follow the plan, and it will work for you!

Since re opening in COVID I have asked the owner and other staff members on 3 separateoccasions to help remind members to wear their masks correctly. Some parts of the gym also look very unclean - bikes covered in sweat stains, mirrors covered in fingerprints and spray marks, corners filled with dirt and hair. You have to go either really early or really late. Don’t bother going in the afternoon, they let so many people in, there is no way to keep 6ft. distance.This should be the best gym in Bellingham, but now it just feels unsafe.

I can’t say enough of good things. Thank you Bellingham Fitness for not just being open but for keeping such high standards with cleanliness, sanitation and overall great customer service; especially through this COVID pandemic. Scott is always friendly and making sure everything is tidy and organized. I’m very proud to be a member here at this location! Thank you all for staying open and helping us to continue to live an active and healthy lifestyle!

Everything is perfect here!Scott is so friendly :) awesome gym with reasonable price!!

Excellent and friendly staff! Very helpful employees! Complete gym with everything you need to be healthy. Also, equipment and environment are very clean to get your work out done without worrying about things such as dirt and grime.I would highly recommend this gym to any one living in the area!

Update: I loved this gym. The facilities are great, the employees are lovely to work with. I thought they would be different from the other gyms I tried, but when I needed to buy out my contract after I lost my job, they slammed me with a $100 fee that was never mentioned at sign up. In our contract, it is clear about the buy out cost, but they never mention the "registration fee", just some vague terminology that is a disguised cover for whatever fees they feel like charging on top of the buy out. I hope they're satisfied knowing that they have conned money from someone who cannot afford food and rent on a monthly basis anymore let alone a gym membership, and needed their help. I love the people who work in the gym, but the administration should be ashamed of themselves for being so detached from the real world.Original review:Staff is very friendly, and the pricing is reasonable especially for the quality you're getting in return. The place has a very professional feeling to it, I appreciate how much the trainers care about their customers and are willing to accommodate your limits, as well as encourage you to try new things and reach new goals when you are comfortable with it. I have never felt pressured to buy any add-ons, like I have with other places. The new remodel is a big plus, it looks great.

This gym was the cleanest in Bellingham by far. They even moved equipment outside for open air working out which I loved! I felt really safe going here. They enforce mask wearing and people who workout here are great about wiping down their equipment before and after. Highly recommend!
