Definitely one of the best gym in Seattle area. It is well planned and setup. They have done a very good use of the place. It is also very affordable. Quitting the gym is also very easy unlike other big gyms that make it cumbersome to quit. Very affordable for Seattle.

I like this place because it is a gym for the sake of being a gym. None of the pizzazz and frills that come with other gyms/clubs. There is a lot of space, lots of machines, dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, cardio equipment, etc. And the …

I’m a beginner to the gym, so I was really intimidated, but Rain City Fit made starting such a great experience. Ben is super responsive and helpful via email, and signing up takes all of 5 minutes. When you walk in, there’s space to keep …

I travel for work sometimes which make commitments in a city tough. The gym itself is awesome and Ben (manager or owner) has always found a way to make it work for me. It would be more convenient to have a national gym I can use whenever I travel but it's the little things that keep me here. Thank you Ben & Rain city fit team!

Amazing gym. Lots of benches and squat racks, people actually clean and they have showers! (I had to wait awhile to use one but 🤷‍♀️) I’ll be back next time I’m in the area …

This is the best gym I have been a member of. It’s not that it has all the amenities of big box gyms with saunas and massage chairs, but that everyone is friendly and the gym is constantly improving. New spaces keep opening up in the gym and equipment is very spread out. There isn’t one main room where everyone is staring at each other, but instead multiple smaller rooms that each have a unique feel to them.As a woman I love that all the glute machines are kept together and in a room that feels more private. I have also never been made uncomfortable by another gym goer while working out here.The only thing I wish this gym had was more mirrors so I could see my form.

I love going to my gym! Definitely has a hole in the wall feel, and I really like that. I appreciate how welcoming/accommodating this gym is, and tries really hard not to be a bro gym. I think it succeeds. …

I overall have a positive impression of the gym.Equipment - spread out over two floors in multiple rooms. There are multiple rogue squat racks, hammer strength leg press, inspire cable machine on first floor (among several things). The second floor contains a set of cybex machines (see site for full list) and additional racks. Dumbbells on both levels. Standard cardio mix of treadmills and other equipment. I have cardio at home, so I didn't notice this too well.Spacing - not crowded, ample space between equipment.Plates - both rogue bumpers and steel plates.Owner - very kind and responsive to emails when I was trying to learn about membership options, equipment present, etc.Location - central in the Pike / Pine corridor.Clients - respectful. I noticed none of the usual "gymbro" attitudes. In fact, when someone dropped weight stack and it slammed, I heard someone say "sorry" aloud. Members cleaned equipment before and after use.Bonus - locally owned business!Update to review on June 20, 2022. The owners continue to invest in the gym and the community! The second level has additional racks being setup and new leg machines!

Terrific gym and great community! I've never felt so comfortable at the gym. Very welcoming space for all kinds of people (except gym bros which is fine; they have all the other gyms). 10/10, would highly recommend!

Overall a really solid gym; the value really is unbeatable. On most days, you’ll have no problem banging out a workout as there isn’t usually a lack of equipment. Best times to come are during lunch or past 8pm on weeknights. …
