This place is a private place filled with great people and great equipment. Saunas!!!!! Instructors!!! I lost over 25 pounds over the summer.

A great gym. Beautiful place. Makes me proud to go there and be a member. Staff is super nice. Trainers are excellent, supportive and helpful. Classes are well organized and plentiful. Kyle, head trainer, is a phenomenal trainer and the other trainers are great as well. Try Kim’s serious sculpt, Bev’s body pump or Kyle’s bootcamp classes. 5 stars.

Horrible service for potential members.My husband and I were interested in a membership, so I called ahead to ask about a tour. I was told no appointment was needed as long as I came during normal desk hours. We went in and started signing the waiver before touring. While we were signing in, another person came in to ask for a tour as well. The staff member available to give tours came out of the office and immediately went to the person who came in after us with no acknowledgement and took him for a tour. We were told to sit in the waiting area until she was done. We sat and waited for probably 20 minutes (with an antsy toddler) and no update on how long we’d have to wait. Meanwhile, there were at least 3 staff members standing at the desk who were apparently unequipped to give a tour. Frustrated, we left. Will not be paying our money to a place with this kind of customer service.

Normally wouldn’t leave a review like this, but this place has awful service and false advertising on both mailers to your home with the same info on their website. SaveStaff was aware and rude about it. I’d called earlier in the day they said they were too busy to give info prices then they made sure to let me know it would be “awhile” before they could give me a price.

Love this gym. Staff is great, facilities are good, locker rooms are clean, and the atmosphere is superb. Best thing about living in Ballard tbh

Hands down the best gym in Ballard. The price is great, particularly considering the amenities it includes (classes, pools, etc).Some parts of the gym are more dated than others, but overall it is clean, well maintained, and the staff are friendly.Also, I was very impressed by their level of communication to members as policies/billing changed during COVID.

To be honest, due to the heat, and the club not having air conditioning in most of the spaces where I would like to work out, I have to drop my review from five stars to two stars. This is one weight room that has good air conditioning, the rest are hot as hell. Depending on when you go, the one room with air is the crowded room. This would be a great club if the figured out the summer heat issue. Maybe purchase more fans at least. With so many options nearby that do have air conditioning, and many of the same facilities and amenities, it’s a hard sell to stay. I wish them the best of luck and hope they can change that issue.

Good equipment, well maintained gym with great group classes. And yeah a swimming pool too!

Very good all in 1 workout club

Why are you not back to 24hrs a day?? The plandemic was never the health threat they said it was. Masks are useless, even Fauci in his emails admitted this!! A basic understanding of human biology would inform you that wearing masks while exercising is harmful !! Its sad and INFURIATING to know that you will harm your customers just because some government authority tells you to!

Great gym! great group exercise classes!Workouts feels like a fun thing to do. Clean and great facilities. The hot tub is the best for relaxing at the end of the day.There are 4 parking spots that we always find parking whenever we came to the gym.

Olympic Athletic Club and vicinity during Covid times

Excellent place. But I wish they had more than 4 benches and 4 squatting racks.

Beautiful gym but no air conditioning in the summer.

Beautiful gym, clean, multiple weight room areas, pool, hot tub, etc.

I am so excited and happy that they have opened back up. The gym is so clean, they have done such a great job of making sure we have a safe and clean place to workout. They are cleaning after the gym after ever hour open gym appointment, and the staff is really understanding if you still have a few minutes on your timer. It is odd to only have 9 other people in the cardio room.

Doesn’t open early enough and you have to set an appt for the pool.

The gym is great. Plenty of equipment options. I’ve never felt shorted on my workout although Pre COVID it was always over packed so difficult to get in a get your workout done in a timely manner. Post COVID things are a little different now, obviously, but they seem to be handling it okay with their reservation system. Reason for 3 stars is due to the front staff, they are always a hit and miss before global events and it seems more so now. I get that people can be a**holes sometimes, but you can still be friendly and helpful and not make assumptions about every person you talk to. We always get conflicting information from them on how things work. Generally, front desk attitudes are abrasive and very off putting. For folks that have a hard time getting to the gym as it is and then who have to face the front desk, it can be incredibly demotivating. I’ll probably keep coming here despite this cause I like the physical space, but come on, be friendly and helpful and don’t assume everyone knows what’s going on. These are weird times for everyone, not just you.

Great mix of exercise equipment, basketball court, studio rooms, pool and TRX training areas. Towel service included and sanitation stations. Lindsey, Hana and Eva are very nice sales agents. Did not get that impression from the front desk folks who seem to show more affinity to themselves and regulars. Personal trainers and instructors seem attentive. I think they should sweep or clean some of the workout spaces more often.

Predatory staff that makes assumptions during a pandemic and will charge you without asking.One account manager lacks sympathy, empathy, and remorse, and uses phrases like, Im sorry you feel that way. Youre not here to apologize for my feelings. Youre here to apologize for your actions and words, and being thoughtful about how to express that is paramount to helping me feel acknowledged, not belittled.A person with empathy will response with, I want to help you and understand the problem you are going thru, This is what I can do to help

Love a gym with amenities and service! And the floor plan is massive as well. Several weights and cardio rooms as well as pools, individual spas and saunas in the locker rooms— so nice. Would definitely recommend!My only gripe is that the weights are spread out in 6-8 different small rooms across 3 floors. Makes it a bit hard to use variety of machines during one workout because you would constantly have to leave to go to other rooms. Ex. Plate loaded machines only on 1st Floor, Pin loaded machines only on 3rd. Still a great gym though.

I’ve been a member for years, it’s not the least expensive, but it’s a very nice gym. I was disappointed when they changed their hours and began closing earlier, but it is what it is. Since COVID they have been closed, then they opened to scheduled visits but availability was sparse and I asked that they put my account on hold as the gym was not available for more than 25% occupancy and I didn’t see paying 100% fees for no available times. Then they charged my card anyway but when I called to explain that as a cardiac patient I didn’t see the benefit in the risk of contracting COVID during a pandemic. Unfortunately they have no one on site to deal with billing because the risk to employees is so great, that they work from home... so I should pay 100% for no access to a gym so contaminated that their own staff won’t come into the building?

Joined a month ago. The pool has now been closed for 20 days for maintenance. There has been no refund or even proper apology issued from the management.Theyve also converted the racquet ball courts to functional training rooms which is kind of annoying as I wish there would be atleast one court

Love this gym. Have not been to a classier gym elsewhere

I love this gym. It met all of my requirements to workout during Covid.First, they require masks ALL the time, even when working out. This to me is a no brainer and yet other gyms only require a mask when walking around. Second, they split their people into reservation slots, spreading out the crowds a bit. Plus literally every room has a ton of sanitizer bottles.Its much more expensive than the LA Fitness, I pay double at $88/month after tax. But for now during a pandemic when I cant find a safe gym to workout at, these extra precautions they put in place make it worth it and I’ll continue to go unless they lower their standards.

It was better before the owner jacked up the prices and muscled out the original owners. Even before the COVID lockdown, it was becoming an overpriced gym without much of the character that made it both a community place.

Great gym, but I canceled my membership because I don’t think their Covid protocols are sufficient. I’d consider coming back when the pandemic is over or they put in place better covid practices.

They are doing a good job with scheduling work outs, easily done online, and lots of bottles of disinfectant you can take with you as you go from machine to machine.

Simple and classy 👌

Its a 24hrs full gym with nice staff. Good place to ball late at night.

My review is mostly about my swimming experience, sauna and spaPros:Nice womens locker room, pretty cleanSauna, steam room, hot tub are good and usually not busyLap pool is clean and not busyFamily pool is warm and has a hot tubTowels are providedFlexible hoursCons:Family locker room is old and dirty, not better than any Seattle public public pool lockersOnly 3 showers, 2 of 3 were dirtyKids are not allowed in womens locker rooms and cannot use any spa facilities. Yes, it might a pro in some cases but its a downside as well since you have to use the old locker room if you come with a kid.

Loved this gym- worth paying more for a clean, well-maintained gym with a ton of updated equipment- literally anything you could ever need. Even during the busiest times of day, there are still plenty of available equipment. (PRE-Covid post). Would have continued my membership if I were staying in Seattle. Thanks OAC!

My current favorite workout. They always mix up the class so your at your max and yet never bored. I always feel accomplished after a class. The trainers and feel of the class make you feel welcomed. Just which there was one in brickell..

Great gym. Clean. Good hours. Make your own combination locks on the lockers. Feels safe. Come during the night for a peaceful experience.

Great gym. Joined for the winter for pool access. Friendly staff. Great facilities. Good equipment and typicallly a lot of the more popular machines. Layout is a little strange and labyrinth like but you get used to it. Nice locker rooms. Good value for all you get.

Beautiful club located in Ballard. The spa is gorgeous and has wonderful options! The facial with Ruby is lovely

Olympic Athletic Club is the best club Ive ever belonged to! Great classes, excellent trainers and an absolutely beautiful, comfortable workout environment. I love the steam room and jacuzzi after working out. The staff is friendly and helpful and its nice to see so many long term employees here year after year. Olympic Athletic Club makes me excited to come work out!

I love this place. My workout feels like a special treat just for me every day. Best time to come with a car is early, early morning. The private womens gym area in the womens upstairs locker room is the BEST.

I train here plus do regular workouts. Love my trainer.Andrew and my core workouts. Plus spin cycle classes and pools are great for diverse workouts

Large variety of activities and classes. Great weight room. Indoor Basketball court. Love the steam room with eucalyptus.

I love how clean this gym is. They have so many class options and work out spaces.

Love this place. No complaints what so ever. Been going here for two years, took some time off with my account on hold, and came back because I love it so much. Great weight rooms, tons of space, tons of options for working out, great locker rooms, great pools! I wish they would change their shower products but it’s not a super big deal

To summarize - for the price, its an incredible gym, and most likely the current best overall and for the price in Seattle. However, I rated 4 Stars because other reviews about small old cheap towels, limited Olympic weights, and dustiness are accurate. With slightly more premium upkeep and towels, this would be a perfect gym.

Weve been members for nearly 20 years and have been quite happy with their classes, pools and staff members. Our daughter took individual swim lessons and really enjoyed them. Ive tried a variety of classes and am especially pleased with their renovations over the last 5 years and the additional pool and adult locker rooms.

I found Olympic Athletic Club to be very unprofessional and will not be going there again. I booked a massage through a referral a friend of mine sent me and received a confirmation email in my own inbox. I made it to the spa after a 1hr+ commute today to find out that I’m not on their schedule. Apparently 2 days ago they reached out to my friend to confirm my appointment as if it was his, and then cancelled it after he said he didn’t book such an appointment. I was told I could reschedule at a discount, which I found very frustrating due to the double standard. I’d have to pay the full price if our roles were switched here - if I cancelled last minute. I spent ~2hrs in rush hour traffic because of their mistake and wanted to share my experience with potential customers.

I have no complaints.If youre a member theres free parking and a dry sauna, hot tub, eucalyptus steam room, racquet ball courts, pool and showers with basic amenities included (even hair dryers and a machine that dries your swimsuit in 20 seconds).If youre high maintenance and expect staff to wait on you youll be disappointed. Doesnt bother me, the desk staff are always in a good mood despite what some might say.Ive had one incident with a member (not staff) asking me to leave a machine mid-set so she could get on. Entitled attitude comes with the area I suppose, told her no. Just be weary if youre shy and stand (or lift) your ground. Most members are very kind and respectful. This was a singular incident.Its a bit warm but not over bearing. The windows in the building are easy to open.Gorgeous, historic building. Mostly 24 hr. access.

Lots of classes and an excellent selection of equipment including a climbing wall. Well designed interior features brick walls and natural woods throughout the historic building. Two pool areas, both with Jacuzzis (with another Jacuzzi in ladies ladies upstairs locker room). One pool is family/open swimming, the other strictly laps. With two locker rooms for ladies, theres always a locker available.

Love our club!

Nice gym, but not well cleaned, dust and dirt everywhere. Overcrowded inside, almost impossible to find parking. Usually have to wait 15 minutes for a space at one of their small lots. Expensive. Towels are small and old. Weights are never, ever re-racked properly. Machines are nice, but not enough squat racks or free weights or space to use them. Will not renew our membership, looking forward to finding somewhere else.

The gym is nice and good customer service a little pricey for some people.

This place is A-OK. Good programming, lots of options, pool is good and you can get a private lane for 30 minutes, towel service, always find a parking spot.It’s lacking on cleanliness though. The showers are quite gross (hair everywhere) and the locker rooms have carpet (whyyyyy). I avoid the locker rooms at all costs and shower at work or at home after going to this gym.

Excellent range of equipment and spa treatments. Featuring clean facilities and friendly staff in a great neighborhood setting.

Ive been a member for several months now and I love it. As I read through the negative reviews, most of the criticisms dont really bear out. Im sure, like any place, there have been mishaps and confusions, but this is a very solid gym. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because one of the group exercise rooms is dimly lit and doesnt have good mirror coverage. This is because they are preserving some gorgeous wall coves. Also, I love Zumba and the classes here could definitely be better.There are several different training areas with different styles of equipment. Theres even a bare bones, no frills free weights room on the ground floor, which is my personal favorite. The womens locker room has its own hot tub and sauna and a small work out room. Its downright opulent! Pro-tip, Hatties Hat, across the street, serves a couple of really good, healthy after-workout meals :)

A beautiful gym with lots of equipment, work out rooms, and classes. Plus a pool, jacuzzi, dry and wet sauna. The women have a small womens only work out space, which is really nice. Its not a cheap gym, but I think its worth it. Plus they have 4 parking lots so you dont have to struggle to find parking in Ballard.

I only just started, but have loved it! The facilities and equipment are clean and the staff are friendly. I actually look forward to working out there. (Shocked)

Ive been going to Olympic Athletic Club for about 3 years. I like the variety of classes, the new machines, and the second pool. It does get crowded, and the rules for signing up for a lane in the pool are complicated but I like how it keeps the number of people you share a lane with down. The locker rooms are great and the womens has a hot tub, womens only workout room, dry sauna, and a steam sauna which is a great perk!

I have worked out at many places, including some of Seattles higher end gyms, and this is by far the best. The facilities are hands-down the highest quality, and best maintained. Its the kind of gym where anyone can work out, no lines, and literally any workout is available.

Great gym that is nicely setup with there being different rooms for different types of lifting. Knowledge friendly staff. The womens locker room has its own hottube and yoga room. Mens has a sauna and steam room. Can be crowded but working in happens often.

I love this gym. You never have to wait for a machine and they have a non-chlorine lap pool for adults only! This gym is great!

I hate working out.Nice gym though. Nice staff.The steam room needs a little TLC... its really the only place I go to, because I hate working out.

Without a doubt the best overall gym in Seattle I am aware of. Extremely reasonable monthly rate even compared to the globos. Great facilities, genuinely pleasant staff, and lots of parking (literally they have several lots).

I have been looking for a gym with a pool, and I was excited to learn that OAC not only has opportunities for swimmers, but they have a completely separate pool for lap swimmers vs family swim. The lap pool water temperature is kept cooler which is ideal for endurance swimming like I prefer. Also, towel service is included with all memberships. Please do note: Monthly memberships are expensive compared to other gyms, but its worth it to me to gain access to a clean pool.

Ive been a member for a number of years now. Sometimes the staff is really great, friendly, helpful, and other times disengaged and unpleasant. Facilities are fine. Shower products are standard chemical cocktails. Advertises as open 24 hours but closes at 8 on Saturday and Sunday evenings.

I go to the Olympic Athletic Club to participate in their aquatic classes. Particularly their “Splashdown” class held M-F at 9:30.The Tues and Thurs classes are great, but The M, W, & F classes not so much. The MWF teacher doesn’t seem to have any control of this group classes. Half of the students like to form small groups and chit chat / laugh the whole 60 min. There is NO order, NO energy, NO music, NO corrections or encouragement. Just several cliques loudly talking, laughing, socializing and being disruptive during what is supposed to be a group EXERCISE class. I don’t think these people have any respect for people who actually joined the club to work out.

The Olympic is an amazing gym. It has facilities for hard core athletes while offering classes for everyone else. Even the senior crowd.

Gym is clean, well maintained and has more equipment and rooms than you can imagine. Great culture, helpful staff, what more could you ask for.

Great gym but the classes on weekends are impossibly crowded :(

Really nice lighting, it doesn’t go unnoticed

Other than parking. I really like it. The staff is great. I really like working out there

Good place, but Dec 2018, Jan 2019 the Lap pool is not heated as advertised which is suppose to be 78-80deg.

Best gym in Seattle

Upscale, friendly and not at all intimidating. Locker rooms are top notch and comfortable. Free parking. Early morning rings kinda busy.

Absolutely awasome

Newly renovated. This place is amazing. Beats all other gyms I have been to, such as David Barton, LA fitness, and of course 24hr.

I love this gym. Great atmosphere. Its scattered across a bunch of rooms which is good for the cardio walking from machine to machine.

A good gym with normal people. I feel comfortable when I am here. Low key, friendly gym with a nice swimming pool, good equipment, and good trainers.

Fantastic facilities, space for everything, good pool. Everythinf is clean and well maintained. Employees and clientele is friendly and helpful, basically open 24/7.

They are a bit expensive, but they have a ton of equipment and classes, so I find the price to be with it overall. Good location and they have several parking area in the neighborhood.

The facility is great but the parking is awful. You can have the best facility but if its inaccessible it doesnt matter. But it is clean and has great amenities

Good place 👍 so many equipment, specific areas for different work out .

This gym is great. Very clean, really cool old building, couple of pools, open 24 hs through the work week, long hours on weekends. The have a bunch of personal trainers you cab work with as well.

The best club in town if you like to swim. They have two pools. One is only for lap swimming 24 hours a day.

This place has everything you need to stay fit. Plenty of weights, machines, cardio stuff, rooms for classes, hell even a pool. Towels are included and the lockers have key combinations so you dont need to bring a lock to keep your stuff secure. Only down side is the price. $660 for a year? Ouch! Luckily my employer pays a good portion of that. Others may not be so lucky.

Been a member for a few years now. Enjoy the variety of things to do there. Parking is tough. Not so sure about the quality of their shampoo/conditioners, sometimes they seem watered down.

They require very intrusive personal information before they even give you a tour! The front desk demanded that I fill out a 2 sided sheet with all of my very personal details as well as provide them a copy of my drivers license. Lord only knows what they plan on doing with this information - a credit check? Sell it to other companies? Use it to harrass me for years on end in the form of tons of junk mail? No thanks! When I told management that I wouldnt provide it, and they just lost a customer, their response was a simple OK, no additional explanation of why its needed, no assurance it would be kept safe and my privacy respected, nothing. Even car dealers are better! I mean a car dealer will at least show you around before requiring license and insurance for a test drive!My opinion: If you are concerned about your credit and your privacy, steer clear of here!

I went to swim here every day while visiting Seattle and it was a godsend as a Seattle visitor for a month. Thank you so very much! I couldn’t have managed the city with severe arthritis unless I had been able to do my physical therapy exercises in the warm pool each day! ❤️

Beautiful building, great location, pool, another pool for families Ive never seen 👍 big fan of this place

Super clean and great service, very good place to workout

This place is great. They have everything. No complaints. They have made some impressive improvements recently

Its very well equipped.

Lots of different equipment so I dont get too bored.

Security was talking with a shaken voice nervous but staying strong. Running accross the street to kick me out of the Motel before I shower.

The Olympic Athletic Club is an evil business. They are part of the larger problem here in Seattle and are out to destroy live music here in the city. In a greedy attempt to acquire more land for themselves, they are proposing to buy out the Salmon Bay Eagles Blues Club (a live music institution that has been in Seattle for over 80 years). PLEASE STOP THIS CLUB FROM DESTROYING ART AND MUSIC IN SEATTLE. This is systemic rasicm, classism, and gentrification at its finest.

Love s of age groups, 2 pools, clean, everyone of all ages devoted to health & well being thru exercise & the fun of using ones body to tone up, breathe & enjoy.

This club offers everything one would need to fulfill their fitness goals. It has a very relaxed inviting environment with a modern urban design. Tons of cardio equipment, 2 pools with jacuzzis. The mens locker room has a wet and dry sauna (and Im told the womens has a whirlpool). Lots of classes included with specific ones for a nominal fee. Friendly staff and personal trainers. I could go on and on but I would recommend going in and getting a tour. I joined months ago cause I was blown away with everything they offer and at $82 a month its a deal!

Ive not seen or experienced anything that could be improved. Great vibe, perfect for any level or type of workout.

Great value for a reasonable monthly cost. Best gym Ive ever had. Seriously.

Good gym, lil spendy

In the heart of alcohol industry sumerged Ballard 😅 you can always take a solid detour & step innn to a healthy€sshh future of you! 🌐🐙🍇🍒
