Excellent variety of equipment. Super inclusive community and standards. Other members are respectful of personal space and cleanliness. Much better experience than places like 24Hour, LA Fitness, the Y, etc. Great value and only left since we are moving. The recent expansion did wonders. #gainz

Terrific gym and great community! Ive 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!

They have everything you could want from a gym, especially after they increased the size back in August. The community is also great! It’s truly open to anyone, whether you’re just starting or have been lifting your entire life. I’m sad I have to move and find a new gym, but 10/10 would recommend for anyone looking for a Gym in the Capitol Hill area

Travelling and finding a solid gym is often a challenge. If you are traveling to Seattle this is the place to lift. Ben made it super easy to get a day pass. The equipment is top notch. The gym has an awesome and inclusive vibe to it, and my favorite... the deadlift platforms are the best that I have ever used.

Awesome gym. Has everything I would want/need at a super affordable price compared to other gyms in Seattle. Ben is super helpful and has created an awesome space

Great gym with most of the equipment youll ever need. The have sufficient squat racks and the expansion has made the space even better! Really had a great few months working out here. They do take care to ensure that the atmosphere always remains friendly and safe.

A really solid gym, lots of space, machines, and weight racks. They also do a great job or trying to make gym goers of all types & experience feel welcome. Its a good space with a good atmosphere and a great price, I really fully recommend it.

Only was living in Seattle for a month but was lucky enough to have a buddy that told me about this spot. Probably the best gym Ive ever been to. All the equipment you can think of and such an awesome vibe. When I moved I accidentally forgot to cancel my auto renew membership so I contacted Ben and he happily (and promptly) gave me a refund for my accidental payment. Cant recommend this place enough.

Rain City Fit is the best gym there is! The gym is constantly advancing, empowering the community, and adjusting to better suit the members needs and safety. The hours are great, the price is fair, and the staff are amazing! Being a member at Rain city fit doesn’t feel like just another gym membership. It feels like you’re changing the world ☺️ (One small business at a time).

Excellent gym! Would highly recommend to anyone in Seattle or visiting. Great community and atmosphere - wonderful ownership, members, and trainers. They really go above and beyond catering to local community.There are absolutely no BS sign-up fees, pushing for sales, annual fees or anything else to worry about. You sign up online and a few minutes later you have a code to sign in.Great variety of equipment catering to both casual gym-goers and strength-athletes.

Really loved my experience here. The gym had the right amount of people — where you had some motivation with ppl working out around you but didn’t have to wait for most equipment. Great vibes in the gym as well.

I’ve been coming to this gym since it opened and it’s wonderful. Owner, managers, and general community is great. Lack of bro-dominant atmosphere is really refreshing. Everyone here is their own person and everyone else is cool with it. Thanks RCF!

Ive been a member of this gym for 3+ years, RCF is an incredibly welcoming environment, and not only the first place I felt comfortable working out, but excited about it!The staff is always happy to help (and excited about your strength journey!), the members always respectable and kind to one another, and the facilities varied and clean. Its a real community gym, and I cant imagine going to another in Seattle.

This place is great! The owners have asked everyone to wear masks and sanitize anything they come in contact with. I feel safe working out here. I know they have asked people who cant behave to leave the gym, and Im really thankful for that. Keep up the good work RCF!

Fantastic equipment selection and variety, friendly and sensible owners, convenient location; what more could you ask for? :)

I love this gym. It’s my first time not going to a “globo-gym” and it will be hard to ever go back. Place has everything you need, and with the multiple floors and rooms, it’s much bigger than it seems. It’s never been too crowded. Folks are respectful of the pandemic precautions. What more could you want?

Best gym around. Reasonable prices, plenty of equipment and great owner and staff. Community-focused, community-involved and very charitable. Has done amazing job keeping people safe and healthy with good COVID measures.

Best gym in Seattle by far! Great environment where everyone is welcome as soon as you walk in the door. Great work dealing with Covid and putting procedures into place so that everyone feels safe. 1000/10 would recommend.

Loved this neighborhood gym and ownership. By far the most respectful gym environment I’ve been in all my years of working out, with a great community. If I didn’t move out of the immediate area, I’d still be here.

Love this gym! From the equipment to their ethos; this gym is fantastic.

This gym has it all, not over crowded, it’s the spot for those that wanna focus on a good lift

I moved from out of state about 6 months ago and RCF has been such a rock for me! I hardly knew anyone in the area and RCF is how I created community here in a big new city. The owners are not just passionate about knowledgeable about fitness but about creating a safe and welcoming space for everyone who walks into the gym. Great equipment, thoughtful staff, and dogs!!!! (Seriously there are puppies like 1/2 the time I’m there ❤️).

Best gym in Seattle. The staff is extremely welcoming and prioritizes creating a safe community for all members. The variety and quality of the equipment is incredible.

Been going over the last few years, approach to COVID was great, new expansion is amazing.

The gym is a wonderful addition to Seattle, with a welcoming community who expects the community to look after each other. Definitely not a soft place, unless you can’t follow the rules, but that’s more about you than the gym and their ownership.

The best value, multiple racks, benches, and deadlift platforms. Ben makes space for marginalized communities in his gym and for that I am so grateful. If you’re looking for a gym to get a great workout while feeling safe taking up space this is it.

Great gym, great owner, great community. Been going here since it opened and appreciate how Ben has adapted through the pandemic and made efforts to keep people safe and active.

Big gym and has everything you need. Good vibes, good workouts to be done here

The owner canceled our membership due to difference in opinion- a weird thing to lose a customer for. After we asked for a refund, all we got was attitude- and not all our money back. Pretty disappointed.(By not wear our masks he means they slipped under our nose for one member, and I wore my mask all the time. Its his business to run and its his gym, but its our right to leave a review. Thanks for the reply tho 😃)

This gym has been such a great place to workout! There’s plenty of equipment and the owner takes covid precautions seriously, making it safe for everyone to exercise at the gym.

I joined the gym (and sister-property Barbell Club) about a year ago, and I have zero regrets. The ownership team has made an amazing effort of creating a culture of inclusivity, working hard, and neighborlyness (is that a word?). The space is functional, and the price is well-below what they could charge given the location and quality of equipment.

I have been going to this gym on and off since it opened.The space is well-equipped with pretty much any machine/tool/contraption you could possibly want. The community has grown into one that is inclusive, supportive, and truly cares about supporting its members, employees, and the neighborhood it resides in.Once they re-opened following Seattles city-wide restrictions during COVID, they installed a system for reserving timeslots that made it easy to feel safe while still going in to workout.Overall, this is a great no-frills gym that is managing this post-COVID era with grace, erring on the side of caution (as one does during a global pandemic,) all while providing a space that feels welcoming, progressive and non-judgmental.

By far the best gym in Seattle!!! Great selection of weights and weight equipment trainers and coaches are all very friendly. No bro’s allowed.

Great equipment, respectful staff AND members, and good community vibes. They’ve done an incredible job managing covid and making members feel comfortable working out. Thanks RCF!

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.The only time it can be hard to find enough space or equipment is when group training sessions take up almost the entire front section of the first floor (turf, assault bikes, dumbbells, etc)—usually mornings. They’re accommodating and very nice, but it can make you feel like you’re “intruding” when you need to sneak by to grab things or find space on the turf.

Love this gym!! And the recent expansion is awesome

Dont go to this gym unless you want an oversensitive, snowflakey environment mixed in with a power tripping owner. Good equipment - BAD management.The Seattle Gym is 15 mins up the road, has more equipment, no reservation system, is less crowded, and has a MUCH more respectable owner.

Great gym. High quality clean equipment. No nonsense. Plus Ben is really nice and friendly.

Tried many gyms when I moved to Seattle and this one was easily the best. I can’t wait to go back after getting vaxed. Thank you!!

Ive been going to this gym for almost 3 years and this place is something special. Ive gone to other boutique and high-end chain gyms in other cities, but they dont compare to what Rain City Fit offers. I love this gym and cant imagine working out somewhere else when living in Seattle.I tend to be a morning gym-goer, I very rarely have to wait more than a minute or two to use any equipment, but honestly Im able to do most my workouts without waiting. The after-work hours (5pm and after) can be a bit busy, so test your schedule to see what works best.All the equipment is always clean and in functioning order. This aspect is truly under-rated. If something breaks, its immediately fixed or resolved. Meanwhile Ive seen super expensive gyms just not do anything to resolve the issue for days or weeks. Also a great majority of the gym goers respect cleanliness and clean up the equipment after usage too.This gym is local owned and has a high sense of community. The gym has given back so much to local community members and businesses. The owner created an incredible safe space for LGBTQ+ and women here. If you dont respect that, this gym is not for you.During covid-times, the owner took health and safety seriously and I truly appreciate him putting everyones health first. He created an entire check-in system, set capacity limits to the gym, and enforced wearing masks. With people huffing and puffing when working out, this seemed like the best measures to decrease risks and keep everyones health in check. Its a gym after all, so it should be a given that our health is a key aspect for gym culture.Theres no hidden fees, no sign up costs, and no cancellation fees. Its a month-to-month payment. So give a single month a try and see if its for you.

This is a small community gym in a super convenient Capitol Hill location, run by a terrific group of folks who really care about both the gym and the community aspect, and will go out of their way to make sure that you (yes... you!) feel welcomed and safe in the space. You’ll find a broad mix of folks, mostly younger, but all of whom are friendly, polite and welcoming. As they like to emphasize, it’s “not a bro gym”, but you have all the essential equipment to pretend it were — squat racks, olly platform, deadlift equipment. Everything you need, and nothing you don’t — they maximize the space!If you want a bit more serious lifting environment, but the same welcoming community feel, the Barbell Club around the corner is an excellent choice. As the name suggests, it’s more barbell-centric, but also has a good mix of Hammer Strength and other equipment, alongside dumbbells up to about 110 lb, so you can accomplish most powerlifting or Olympic routines. As a bonus, BBC has a ton of specialty barbells, including some strongman favorites.Overall, this is a great choice for folks who want a top notch gym that happens to be in the heart of Pike/pine. Yeah, there’s no parking, but you don’t really need it. Plus, the fees are straightforward and super reasonable, with no contracts or other Tomfoolery. Can’t go wrong!

This gym is disgusting. Cockroaches in the change room and the equipment all absolutely STINKS like old sweat. Nasty place with unfriendly management

Everything you want in a gym, including the price! If you like a no-frills gym, with plenty of equipment, friendly clientele, and a passionate owner who cares for his community more than his bottom-line, this is your gym!

First time here and amazing amenities. I came because of the no contract and glad I did. They have everything including warm up bands 😊 Also lots of bottles to wipe down equipment during covid. My new favorite gym.

Very unprofessional owner who was not willing to compromise or communicate concerns before cancelling my membership just simply childish.

Rude staff. They don’t care at all about individual freedom.

Clean space with plenty of lifting equipment for a good price.

Super impressed so far. Great ownership, so i support this gym fully. I think theres a few piggybackers riding behind people coming in though, so be careful. They are stealing from a community and it sucks

I was only a member here for about 2 weeks before COVID closed everything down, but I have to say I was really impressed overall. This is an immaculately-kept, locally owned gym in the heart of Capitol Hill. There are about 5 treadmills, a couple more ellipticals, and a variety of weight machines/free weights on the 1st floor. There is also a 2nd floor, but I didnt go up there. When I tried to cancel my membership, there was a problem getting it to go through and my card was inadvertently charged for another month, but the owner kindly refunded my money without any trouble. A real Seattle gem!

Neurotic staff with a sprinkle of control freak. Not a typical gym environment - VERY soft.Wasnt wearing a mask above my nose a few times - OWNER PROCEEDED TO CANCEL MY MEMBERSHIP.

I was a member for about 1.5 years at Rain City, and I really enjoyed working out here. For people looking for free weights, I never had an issue finding a rack in the mornings or evenings, peak workout times might be a different story, however. There is all the equipment you are looking for, only with a limited options for cardio, which wasnt my focus anyway.The crowd is a refreshing mix of people that seem generally friendly.Membership has no BS, you can pay a fair month-to-month with no additional signup fee. Cancellation is not a fuss. Management has been very friendly and responsive. I would keep my membership if I was not moving across town.I am not a big reviewer, but Rain City deserves all 5 stars and then some. They are a model of how a gym should operate. Cannot recommend them enough.

A great gym at a great value. They have all of the equipment you need in about the right amounts!

This gym serves the community. Thank you so much for your support outside on the front line. We will forever recommend you.

By far the best gym Ive ever been to for weightlifters. All the equipment you could ever want is there. The vibe is great. Several squat racks, platforms, ways to bench. Definitely check this place out!

Rude behavior from manager, please avoid this place

Awesome gym with everything you need for weight lifting

You guys are amazing. Simply amazing.-A loud protestor full of hotdogs.

If I had known that a gym could be this cool, I would have signed up years ago. :) The owner is approachable and very reasonable, and the vibe of the place is laid back and positive. What a great addition to the neighborhood!

I love this gym. No nonsense, no lines, and all the equipment needed for weight lifters.

Usually no wait for equipment at any time of the day. Ben expands and adds stuff as his business grows. Thats refreshing. A/C needs to be sorted upstairs but its really only a problem a few hours a day for a few days a week. No miles of cardio equipment here. Its weights. Lots of them. Squat racks everywhere.

Great gym with very reasonable pricing! Plenty of squat racks (6?) and diversity of equipment here.

This is the best powerlifting gym in Seattle. Ben the owner is an amazing owner. He really takes care of his members. Additionally, the equipment is all really high quality. You will find pretty much any equipment you need as a powerlifter/weightlifter. Awesome environment as well!

Best gym Ive ever been to!

I love this gym! The people are so warm and welcoming and the equipment is great! Stefanie and Ben are awesome trainers! I really feel like part of a community here!

Great value gym with tons of weight lifting equipment!

Price is amazing, amount of powerlifting equipment is amazing 5 stars😎🙌

Kristen is fantastic! I am a huge fan of Rain City and suggest it to everyone!

Great gym. Clean, lots of equipment, nice people.

TONS of equipment. It is a full 2 floors of gear and space. I really enjoy this place and its versatility...it is like a strength gym, bodybuilding, machine style gym combined. Plenty of squat racks, tons of barbell variations (trap, swiss, log, safety-squat, fat grip, etc.), bumper plates, calibrated plates, a couple oly platforms, plenty of free weights. Some unique equipment from the Westside barbell line too. For price vs. versatility this gym cannot be beat in the Seattle area.

Priced right for my partner and I. No frills gym and I love it.

Ive been a member at ProClub (east and west), Zum, AllStar, and 24 and this is the best gym Ive been to in terms of members, owner and availability of equipment. Its great to have a safe place that is focused on fitness and community. If you are looking for all the frills, stocked locker rooms, steam rooms, rows of mirrors for selfies and day care...this gym isnt for you.

Best gym in Seattle hands down

Welcoming, clean, non-intimidating atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Hands down best gym in Seattle! Powerlifting, Olympic lifting or recreational! Owner is super friendly and gym is very clean.

Great Gym. Friendly / neighborly atmosphere

Rain City Fit is an AWESOME and totally affordable gym right in the heart of capital Hill!

Awesome training! Wish I lived closer so I could join

Great new gym in Capitol Hill!!

Just gotta ventilate the place a little bit more

Great gym!

You wont find a better gym

Best gym in Seattle

Hip thrust machines ❤
