Always an incredible experience. I’ve been going to Athena off and on for a few years and LOVE the workouts and community. It’s such a positive and healthy vibe, and the instructors are really knowledgeable and GREAT at helping you modify. Best gym in Olympia!

I was in town for a few weeks and purchased a one month Strength membership so that I could try out as many classes as I wanted. I really enjoyed the small group classes, as there was a great variety of formats and between strength conditioning. I felt challenged every day. The coaches are wonderful - they are extremely knowledgeable and bring great energy. Highly recommend.

Love working out here! Athena is much more than a gym. Athena offers a community to support you with your fitness and wellness goals. There are tons of FUN classes every day. I have really enjoyed Sprint and Small Group Trainings. Highly recommend!

I am not a gym girl, but I love this gym. The small group classes are *chefs kiss*, and the instructors are super helpful and friendly. If you are looking for a gym that is also a community of amazing people- this is the place. The sauna and salt room are an added bonus! 10/10

I love this place! Instantly, I felt at home in a space that feels welcoming, inclusive, and safe with a range of fitness options for everyone! From large group classes to small group trainings, I never get bored. I have really enjoyed the LED infrared sauna; it pairs really well after a tough workout or an overindulged weekend. If you're looking for a feminine centered fitness space that caters to your mind, body, and soul, you've found that place in Athena!

I have never felt so comfortable and confident in the gym before. From day one, every instructor has been incredible and accommodating. Every time I went to a new class the instructor always has come to personally say hi and explain how the class works and what to expect which was super appreciated as a newbie. Ive now been coming for about 5 months and i feel more confident and stronger and more open to challenging myself to work harder than the day before. I absolutely love it here ❤️

I love this gym and the people that work here! I’ve been going here for the past few years and I can tell a huge difference in my health. The small group trainings are great because you can just show up and trainer tells you what to do. Zumba is also one of my favorite classes here. It feels so welcoming when you come here, you feel like you are part of a community!

I’ve been a member of Athena for about a year and a half, and it’s been one of the most transformative and supportive communities I’ve ever joined! The Small Group Training and Zumba classes keep me centered mentally and physically, and missing a session feels like missing out on something truly grounding. Last year was especially challenging for me, but waking up every morning to join the same incredible group of people—shoutout to the 5:30am crew!—and feeling the consistent energy and encouragement from the amazing instructors kept me going.Tiffany and her team go above and beyond to create an inclusive, welcoming environment where every member feels seen and valued. Thank you Athena for all you do!!

I’ve had memberships at several gyms locally and Athena will always be the best. As a young woman, it is so refreshing to find a gym where I feel welcomed and supported no matter my stage in life. I’ve been a member through pregnancy and postpartum, and the best part is that the staff at Athena were part of my journey. Whether it was helping me change workouts while pregnant to supporting me as I got back into the gym, Athena has provided the best environment possible. My little one and I went to small group training today and it was a reminder of how lucky I am to have a place that supports me, but also supports me bringing my infant with me. Athena truly is changing the game and raising the bar for what a gym should be.

I'm so grateful to have discovered Athena in early 2023 when I needed exercise & movement because I was going through major life transitions. I was looking for Les Mills BodyPump classes at the time, but stayed for the instructors, community, class/workshop offerings, and amazing space! I've never felt more safe, empowered, and at ease in any other gym/fitness space than Athena. It's so inclusive, welcoming, and calming for your nervous system.

Tiffany pours her heart and soul into Athena to bring the most beneficial, relevant and diverse service offerings you'll ever find for the members & local community. From the moment you walk in, you know that someone genuinely cares about your well-being and safety. If you ever just want to check out the space, you'll notice the level of care and detail poured into Athena is unparalleled.

If you're looking for anything from heavy lifting, HITT classes, spin, yoga, Pilates, dance cardio, almost ALL of the Les Mills classes, an infrared sauna, salt room, this is the place to go! This is only the second space where I've felt motivated to go and move consistently ever since I started to do BodyPump classes over a decade ago. I truly believe the most beneficial movement you can do for your body is the kind that brings you joy and the kind you do consistently. Tiffany's space and the amazing humans she finds to support Athena makes that possible. All of their instructors & trainers are really my favorite! You'll leave the workouts feeling happier and laughing because they're all such fun people to be around!

I joined Athena PNW about one month ago. I don’t have anything but good things to say. First of all, the people. Every single person who works here or is a member is smiling, friendly, and welcoming. Sometimes workout classes can be intimidating. I have never felt that here. There is a wide variety of classes to take and they are offered at convenient times for any schedule. I work night shifts and am able to get a workout in before or after work. The sauna and salt room are an amazing bonus! I haven’t been able to join yet, but it seems they also host meetups outside of the gym (hikes, SUP, mountain biking, etc.) from time to time. An amazing community to be part of. Lastly, it’s extremely affordable and worth the price for everything that you get! My favorite gym I’ve been to so far!

Highly highly recommend Athena. Not only is the gym itself a warm, welcoming and safe space, not only are the workouts top notch, not only are the coaches phenomenal, but as a whole they are supporting women and the greater community which makes me happy to be a member. Thank you so much ladies for all you do. Even my kids like to come to the gym when I am working out. I will continue to give y'all my highest praise and recommend Athena Fitness and Wellness!

This review is long overdue. I have been a member of Athena for about two years. I have been member of different gyms over the last 30 years but Never have I felt so welcomed and comfortable in a fitness space. The people that run this business are kind, compassionate, and are providing a safe and nurturing environment for everyone. I hope they will always be there because I can’t imagine wanting to continue my wellness journey anywhere else.

I started coming to Athena in 2021 because I was bored of working out by myself in my garage. Fast forward 3 years, and it is the only space I choose to workout in. The quality and variety of workouts is exactly what I need: strength, HIIT, mobility, yoga, cycling, bodypump. It’s all here! You come for the workout but stay for the community! You can’t beat the atmosphere and the people you meet here. There are so many ways to build your fitness level but also your involvement in the community. There are workshops monthly where I can learn about other businesses in our area, take self-defense classes, burlesque classes, attend physical therapy seminars, etc. Tiffany (the owner) pours her heart and soul into making Athena a safe space to grow physically but also emotionally and socially. Athena will change your life if you let it.

Athena is the most empowering, supportive, safe space I have ever been in. From the amazing owner Tiffany, to every single person working at Athena, and to all of the amazing Athena members, this is by far one of my very favorite places to be. It is more than a gym, it is a community. Join us!

I love this place. It feels SAFE, and welcoming. I have been going to Athena since they first opened their doors. I’ve seen this community grow, and friendships develop. I’ve gotten stronger physically and become more comfortable and confident. I genuinely feel like a part of a community and overall, I have a better sense of wellbeing because of this space. I thank Tiffany and her staff for creating this environment.

I was going to join this gym since it is advertised as a all women's gym. However when I was walking in to go look at the gym I noticed a man, when made me uncomfortable as a survival of SA I was hoping for a space of healing. Needless to say I will be doing home workouts instead.

I tried out a Zumba class at Athena and I had the BEST time!! The vibes were so good as soon as I walked in, and everyone was really friendly and welcoming. Especially the instructor, Kati—she was so nice:) The class was so much fun and I felt amazing afterwards. I will 100% be back.

Edit: It's about ten months after I went to my first Zumba class here, and I still love it. Joining Athena is probably one of the best things I've done for myself since moving to Olympia.

I have been trying to help my mother get signed up for personal training sessions since May 21. I’ve emailed multiple times, and the last time I heard back was June 3. I’m not sure why this company doesn’t want our business, but it’s really disappointing working this hard to ask for their basic customer service.

Update to the owner: As a former small business owner (and human), I would tell you that I absolutely did receive a service from you when attempting to use your business. I waited 7-8 days between writing emails and checking in (which, please note that communication was from me, and not from your company), so I don’t feel that I was expecting “big box” immediate responses. My last email was specifically stating concern at the lack of follow up, and I asked if we should try another company if it wasn’t possible to get reliable service. That email was never responded to, and I wrote my review 7 days later. I still
Don’t have a response. I would have absolutely understood if anyone from your company responded and gave an explanation for the cause of delays, but minimal communication wasn’t something that was provided. My family is trying to help my mother regain strength and health after losing her husband at the end of April (which I shared in my email). We missed out on a month of personal training by patiently waiting for a response that still has not come.

They also have pop-up workshops to learn self defense, first aid/overdose response, even knitting!!

March 2024
Went exclusively for the Salt Room. Was fine, but I've been to better.

Full review:
My review is based SOLELY on my experience with their Halotherapy Room. The staff was nice and booking the Room was easy. The Salt Therapy itself wasn't my favorite experience based on 2 things.
1- It was pretty cold in there. Not sure of the exact temperature, but it couldn't have been any warmer than 60 degrees. Not the most comfortable thing when you're supposed to be in minimal clothing to fully benefit from the experience.
2- I'm used to salt rooms where the concentration of salt in the air reaches a point where it's hazy and difficult to see to the other side of the room. This did not happen here.

Not sure if I'll go back considering how cold it was and the fact that I was left questioning how effective the room was. That being said, a friend went recently and had the same complaint about temperature BUT said the room did get hazy and hard to see through. If I end up going back here and have a better experience, I'll immediately update this review.

I’ve never been to a more friendly and inclusive gym in my life.

Every person, instructor or student, has been incredibly friendly and kind.

You don’t have to worry about going to a class alone because students are welcoming and ensure you feel included. And that’s just your fellow students!

All of that PLUS a good workout that’ll leave you feeling pleasantly sore. Truly a wonderful experience!

This is the best gym I’ve ever had a membership with. I started going once a week. Six months later, I’m going three times a week. Small group classes are perfect for me because my life is stressful and I don’t have the capacity to take on the mental load of figuring out my workouts. I can feel how much stronger I am. Everyone is encouraged to listen to their body and everyone is at a different level. That strategy kept me coming back, going at my own pace, and I’m seeing great results.

Joining Athena has been life changing. I feel a joy for exercise I don’t think I have ever felt or maybe not since I was a kid. The focus is on movement and strength. Not diet culture and weight loss. All of the teachers and staff are wonderfully supportive. It truly feels like a community. As a working mom it’s great to be around people with similar lives and wellness goals. I love their occasional fun classes but even the regular ones are amazing. Can’t recommend it enough

The gym and the people in it are welcoming, loving and so supportive. I've never felt uncomfortable or unwelcome here. They have a variety of classes and times to work with all schedules and I love that I can bring my kids and the trainers are always willing to help with the baby if they can. Such a supportive place for moms and you don't normally see that! It makes me feel so good that I can prioritize myself and my health and not have the find a sitter or work around my husband's crazy schedule.

Athena PNW is a magical place for women. This was voted Olympia's best gym recently. It is a small boutique gym, primarily for women, although men can participate too. Being a small gym, it is about compassion, community, and friendship. There are no judgements here, just pure encouragement. Many events, including outside speakers, are also brought in to speak about various forms of health and wellness. There is a nice mix of classes and workouts. People feel COMFORTABLE here. Please give them a try! You won't regret it!

This gym is small-ish but mighty! I’ve only joined larger gyms throughout my life and after the pandemic I was really ready to get back into regular physical activities. I was following this gym on Instagram and it just kept speaking to me. It is easy to check out, your first class is free and you can even pay by the class after that if you are not sure about joining. I felt welcome right away from staff as well as all of the other members. They are intentional about that and it shows! It is definitely a place for bodies of all shades, shapes, sizes and abilities.

Also, the workouts are so accessible for all- modifications are given when needed and my 75 year old mama rocks the workouts too! Thank you, Athena!

I came to Lacey to visit my cousin for a month. She let me tag along for her workouts here at Athena and it was amazing! All the trainers were so nice and always talked with you before class. There are many classes to choose from and you get a solid workout in each. It’s such a supportive environment and I wish I had a gym like this near me. It had all skill levels and never makes you feel bad for the kind of shape you’re in. They have modified workouts for anyone who doesn’t feel like they can keep up (I used those often) and it was so beneficial. If I ever return to Washington I will definitely be dropping in for some classes! Also if you guys want to expand to Jacksonville Florida that would be amazing 🤍

So I first rated Athena 5 stars 2 years ago and now I'd rate them 100 ⭐ if I could! Seriously come and you will not be disappointed! It's an amazing community, you will feel so welcomed and valued. And don't be afraid to come on your own, you won't feel intimidated at all once you're there. The workouts themselves are amazing, there's tons of variety, and they can be modified to fit whatever you're in the mood for/what your body needs. There are lots of options and you never feel pressured to do anything you don't want, and you can still make it very challenging and get stronger if that's your goal! My personal favorite class is small group training. I can't imagine a better gym ♥️

Athena is the BEST! I found them on google about 7 months ago, and have been going consistently ever since. I love having a gym with different classes that I can just show up to and not think about/plan a work out. I truly look forward to my workouts now, and part of that is because of the amazing community that is Athena! After you go to a few classes you’ll start to learn other members names and it’s fun to have that connection to look forward to and also motivate you to show up on days you don’t feel like working out. The instructors are amazing, they learn everyone’s names and seem so happy to be doing what they do. This gym feels inclusive, welcoming, and not intimidating like others that I’ve been too. It’s truly just the best environment. Oh, and there is a sauna! I LOVE a good sauna session, and the one at Athena is nice because you have it all to yourself. If you’re on the fence, seriously check them out!

Working out at Athena is the best thing I’ve done for my mental and physical health. The double benefit of working out and a sense of community is truly rare and beautiful.

Athena is hands down the best gym in existence. It is a woman-focused gym and really more of a wellness center. The philosophy of the gym is building community and a positive, inclusive approach to wellness. The gym is all class-based and the teachers are amazing. I go to small group training Monday - Friday at 12 pm and Tiffany (the owner) and Erin (a personal trainer) are amazing. Small group is like having your own personal trainer but in a group setting. Tiffany writes the workouts on a two week cycle and it works the entire body. The teachers explain the workout and then help correct your form, motivate you, and keep the workout moving. It is a wonderful class. I have also had great classes with Kati for Zumba, Elisa for Yoga, and small group with Whitney, Carrie, and Geddie. All of the instructors support the mission and help participants get a good workout and feel good about themselves. They also have a salt room, sauna, nutritionists, and massage therapists. Melissa gives amazing massages, the best I have ever had. They also do special classes and workshops that include nutrition, yoga, and general wellness but also span to mental health groups, crafting, burlesque dance, self-defense, and more. I would highly recommend Athena.

When I moved to Olympia, I was heartbroken to leave my old gym behind. I didn’t think I would be able to find anything here that even compared, but I was wrong. Athena has exceeded my expectations in every way! For exercise they have so many class choices, incredible trainers, and they meet you where you are at. Most days it’s hard for me to choose what to do because there are two or more things I want to do!
They also have what most gyms lack, a community. And the community is amazing! Everyone I’ve met is so welcoming and the longer I go here the more I love the community. I feel more at home here in Olympia after joining Athena because the people are so wonderful. The trainers know their students names, provide encouragement, and have fun (challenging but also fun) classes. Community and classes are also so helpful for me because they provide motivation to keep going and growing.
I waited a few months before posting a review but I really couldn’t be happier that I’m a member here :)

Athena is simply amazing. I joined Athena about a month ago, after not working out, at all, for about 10 years. The instructors are all extremely welcoming, understanding of different levels of fitness, and very passionate about making each workout and/or exercise work for each individual in class. But it’s not just the instructors that are welcoming and friendly but the other patrons as well. It honestly feels like a family and even if you’re new, you’re welcomed warmly. I would 100% recommend Athena to any and everyone, regardless of fitness level. Just after one month I feel way more energetic and so much stronger! Thank you Athena!
