24 Hour Fitness

Derek Bratescu is an INCREDIBLE trainer. He helped me lose 65 lbs and 22% body fat. Derek patiently listens to my frustrations, celebrates my successes, talks me through my doubts and cares as I teared up while talking about my fears. Derek is always on my side but will quickly call me on my b.s. Check out my before and after.

I have had many different trainers at 24 hour fitness, but my current trainer Derek Bratescu is by far the best trainer I have ever had while being a memeber of 24 hour fitness. I see myself training with him for a long time.

Derek at Kent Panther Lake is pure drive. When he is your trainer, he lets you know from the start that he is there to help you accomplish your goals. He does not sugar coat a damn thing about getting where you want to go. If you need to adjust your diet, he is only a text away. If you need to be pushed, he will push you like you have never done to yourself before. I highly recommend Derek to help you begin whatever journey you are on.

I just want to give a huge thank you to a guy that has forever changed my life for the better. If you are in the south Seattle/Renton area and need a trainer/coach/motivator, please find Derek Bratescu. I signed up for weekly training sessions with him primarily because I needed someone to hold me accountable for my efforts and got so much more than an exercise program. He was professional, patient, and helped me set goals and outline training programs to help me achieve them.Derek, thanks for everything you have done!

Recently I wrapped up training with Derek. He was very detail oriented as well as personalized my circuits and nutrition to fit my goals. Additionally he was very professional and collaborative, making me feel like I was part of a team.

They say the best trainers give you the knowledge you need to be successful, and thats exactly what Derek did for me. Ive been in the fitness industry for awhile, what i love is how there is always something to learn, and ever since i started working with Derek he has never ceased to amaze me on how much he knows about training, diet, and correctional exercises. He breaks it down to every detail, and now i can confidently approach my athletics with a better knowledge behind me! He has also helped me work through and correct my internally rotated shoulders. He cares full heartedly about his clients, and it shows through his work and his passion. I HIGHLY recommend him to anyone who is looking for a fitness prossional who will GUARANTEE you results :) Thank you Derek for all that you do!

I signed up for personal training with Derek Bratescu as my traininer and its the best decision I've made. Hes passionate about what he does and it shows. The amount of love and knowledge he has for what he does is amazing. He will truly care about you achieving your goal. I gained so much more knowledge that I didn't even know i needed to reach my goal, he explained everything perfectly and never left a question unanswered.:)

Staff are mostly courteous and professional. Of late, I have begun to notice that we are always running out of soap in the men's bathroom. Could management look into this and be proactive about this? Thanks

Awesome gym and atmosphere Colter the GM is super helpful and doesn't hesitate to answer questions. Gym is always clean and sanitary. Staff is cheerful and greet you when you come in.

Derek Bratescu is an outstanding trainer. His ability to check form, motivate and recommend a workout based on your ability, injury and age makes each session with him with worth every penny and more. It is an investment in your health. After several failed attempts of trying various different exercise forms I gave training a shot and it was life changing. Derek modifies the exercises which don’t bother my injury. Highly recommend Derek for anyone struggling to get started on a healthy lifestyle.
