Absolutely LOVE this gym. Staff is super friendly, I’m never waiting to use equipment, and the vibe is always positive. The spa area with sauna, steam room, and hot tub is my favorite part.

I’ve worked out at nearly every gym in town and can say with confidence that Bellingham Fitness is the best of the bunch.

Be careful getting into it with these guys. If you fo durring prime hours you have a bunch of people not. Leaning up after themselves whrn using machines/equipmemt.

the sauna is great. besides that, employees rarely say hi when you walk in when they’re not busy. How hard is it to teach your employees the importance of greeting club members? the contracts are misleading and they try to throw “biweekly” crap at you instead of just giving you the upfront cost. the people who sell you the contracts don’t explain everything and make it hard to get out of as well. I personally now use a 3rd party way to pay for my gym thus eliminating their misleading contracts after I had two not great experiences in the past.

2nd response to the owner or staff who wanted to reply to my first review:
I am a member of this gym so please disregard the owner’s response to my initial review. Not sure how you can identify me off of a review anyway — it’s somewhat anonymous for a reason. It is an attempt to invalidate my concerns for this gym because I am NOT always greeted, even if the workers aren’t helping anyone. That’s unprofessional for a place that’s trying to claim a “fitness club” status rather than just a gym. And it’s true that the paper explains the pricing but the use of “bi-weekly” instead of monthly is misleading. These are facts. I am not going to email the owner because the review speaks for itself. And I’ll go ahead and add that if you have asthma, be careful in the wet sauna because of the eucalyptus they use. I don’t even have asthma and I can’t breathe in it because of the oil infuser they use and/or the spray that’s sometimes in there.

This gym has such a positive, welcoming environment—not just for members but for staff too.
The team is supportive, hardworking, and always willing to help one another. The members were always kind and made the job fun, and I loved being able to greet familiar faces every day.
If you’re looking for a place to work out or even a place to work, I’d absolutely recommend this gym. It’s a community that genuinely cares about people’s health, goals, and overall experience.

I can't speak highly enough of Bellingham Fitness. It's a one-stop shop for everything you could want in a fitness and recovery space.

This gym has it all: top-notch equipment, indoor pickleball, Theraguns, heat therapy options (sauna, steam room, hot tub), and heated massage chairs. They’re also expanding to include outdoor pickleball courts, heated yoga, pilates, and barre.

The staff here are always kind, pleasant, and helpful. The personal trainers go above and beyond to make clients feel at home, supported, and safe, no matter their fitness level. I can't recommend Shae and Kendall enough.

It’s rare to find a place that covers all aspects of health and wellness under one roof. Bellingham Fitness is one of those places.

I used to love this gym, but when I went to cancel my membership they made it the biggest hassle. They will milk you for every last cent until you fill out all their documents and give them proof that they should allow you to cancel. They don't even make it easy. They least they could do is provide a fillable PDF for those of us without printers. This made a previous positive experience I had, turn completely sour.

I credit Bellingham Fitness’s Bootcamp program and Coach Efrem with my ability to run again after a couple of decades avoiding running due to knee pain. It’s amazing to me that I am running again! Weight lifting and gyms have never appealed to me…yet…I’m digging this experience. I am so grateful for the support in muscle strengthening that allows me the ability to run again. I am also grateful for the owner and staff for being kind and caring. The facility and the people are top notch!

We like this gym a lot. Lots of different machines and free weight equipment, areas for Olympic lifting if that's what you do; and most everything is spaced out well. Friendly staff and fellow patrons, nice locker rooms (clean shower and changing areas; clean bathrooms as well). Good cardio options...new steppers; decent treadmills; time that the ellipticals were updated? Has new Pickle ball courts and working saunas. The staff don't bug you but will help when asked and are responsive to suggestions for change or improvements. We checked out a couple of different gyms in the 'Ham...been working out there about 2 years.

I travel for work and this is one of the best independently owned and operated gyms I’ve been to. One of the best in general. The staff is super friendly, the owner is cool, and the gym is fully equipped with all the equipment you need for a good work out. The sauna is great, the steam room is great, and the hot tub great. All the lockers in the locker room have combination locks built into them, which I think is super unique. I’ve been all over the country in different gyms for 22 years and I’ve never seen that. Very cool you can just go to the gym and not worry about your stuff being tampered with or stolen because locks are built into the lockers. Since I’m traveling for work the owner also said I can start a membership and end it when I leave Bellingham. I also thought that was nice of him. Great gym! I highly recommend

This place is so overwhelming. The spa is over chlorinated and the sauna smells like dogs. The culture of the people there are predictably "gymmy" and for the most part I would say people were putting their bodies through maintenance processes while consciously checking out, as if their bodies are just an asset to make pretty that they really don't want to pay attention to. I was really grateful the people at the front desk didn't require me to take the gym tour and make me go through one of those sales meetings. I won't be back unless I'm desperate for a hottub.

I only went to this gym to take a tour because I liked the idea of having access to a Sauna. When I asked for a tour, the employee told me to fill my information on a form. I put my name down, but I get too many scam emails and calls as it is and didn't want to put that down until I became a member. The employee brought another paper to sign, it looked like a waiver. He told me I needed to complete the information to take the tour. I declined. If this is how they treat people just interested in becoming a member, I can only imagine the nightmare trying to end a membership would be or God forbid getting injured there.

My experiences at Bellingham Fitness are wildly discrepant from those shared by some people. I “just do it” 3x per week for the past six years at the gym to maintain a level of fitness required to pass the fairly rigorous bi-annual FAA flight physical for airline transport pilots. I have found Scott to de a gentleman and scholar. He works diligently to keep the gym well maintained, spotless and stocked with modern sanitary equipment.
His spirited and engaging demeanor is an asset for many members who struggle to maintaining the motivation required for a long-term commitment to their physical health.
Bellingham Fitness staff - and Scott in particular - are supportive and accepting of the variety of individuals who comprise their membership base; from the kids to the “oldsters” to those with physical challenges. I know; I’ve been bringing my physically disabled sister to work out for over a year. She receives the same respect, encouragement and humor accorded to all the members.

Scott, Dave and the rest of the staff are nice people. I suppose in a world ripe with cynicism, dishonesty and narcissism it’s understandable to mistake sincerity and compassion for something nefariousness. This would be a mistake. Bellingham Fitness is a wonderful family gym and a real asset for our community.

Will be cancelling my membership ASAP.

Everything about this place screams scam. It is clear that the gentleman in charge of memberships studied how to take advantage of people before he began working here. He is rude, aggressive, and doesn't take no for an answer. If he wasn't related to the owner I'm sure the dozens of complaints against him would have been sufficient for termination.

The gym itself is fine, but the predatory tactics, aggressive marketing, and the fact that everything about the finances of this please scream "SCAM" has ensured that none of my friends or I will be returning here until he (and their enrollment system) is replaced with something designed for service...not trick hard working people out of their money.

I want a place that is safe to work out, but this guy (David?) patrols the doorways and is constantly making laps around the gym trying to take advantage of seniors like myself by suckering them into a mess of paperwork and pricing models.

The contracts and finances are hidden in an array of intentionally confusing wording and lots of hidden fees, crossed out numbers, and synonyms designed to baffle you so you'll listen to the sales pitch David has worked so hard to rehearse.

Tried talking to someone about this several times, but the big guy sits at the top of the food chain to intercept any complaints before they make their way up the ladder.

There are plenty of gyms in our city with great equipment and a sauna. But there is only one gym in our city with great equipment, a sauna, and David.

We'll be cancelling our membership ASAP-- but I imagine we'll need to hire a lawyer to do so.

I've been coming here since the beginning of the year. It's been a good experience so far! I usually go early or in the afternoon and I can always get the equipment I need, which is a huge reason I chose Bham Fitness over Fitness Evo.

One thing to note if you're interested in joining is that they'll market the price as "monthly", but you pay bi-weekly, which means every so often, you're making 3 payments in one month depending on how the days of the month line up. The sales rep even wrote $45 next to the bi-weekly dues as my "monthly cost." Not a huge fan of that, but still giving it 5 stars for the friendly staff and clean facility.

Side note, there's not enough trash cans around the gym. I often find myself having to go back into the locker room just to throw out my gum or trash. It would be nice if they had more!

Other than that I'd recommend it here if you want good equipment without the crowd!

I recently had the privilege of working with Ari Levin in a personal training program at Bellingham Fitness, and I can't express enough how transformative the experience has been.
Their expertise and knowledge in the field of fitness is truly impressive!

I started with ZERO weight lifting experience, and now can confidently say that I know proper form and execution of over 40 new exercises, and have the skills to learn more and progress on my own. Ari constantly challenged me with new exercises and techniques, preventing any monotony and keeping my workouts engaging and exciting.

I strongly recommend Ari to anyone seeking a personal trainer. It has made an extremely positive change to both my physical and mental health.

If you try to cancel your membership, they'll require a doctor's note or proof of relocation. If you tell them that you'd like to pause, they'll continue billing you. If you ask them to work with you, they'll stop responding to your emails.

If you look at the quality of the equipment or the functionality of basic appliances like their showers or their lockers, it's pretty clear they don't take a lot of pride in their work.

They've been voted 'best gym' for several years by incentivizing their clients to vote for them by offering free gifts. Ethics are not a top concern here.

I actually had a friend apply to work the desk and he was turned away because he wasn't willing to compromise on his integrity.

This gym can't compete on a basis of quality, but they are exceedingly cheap. I wish I'd realized this was a red flag before joining.

if this gym could not get worse! I spoke with Todd. He saw my name on my yelp review and thought it was ok to call me. He said he would only let me out of my contract if I took down the review. I told him I wanted to see improvements that's why I wrote the review. He told me that the could probably not make any new improvements because the took a loan out during covid and they are broke. He also said most gyms have carpet in the locker rooms, they are there because they don't want old people to slip. Well Todd does not realize that half of his gym has no slip mats on it already. and no gym worried about people slipping has polished cement floors. There remodeled was not a remodel they built pickleball courts that no one uses, and not according to there phone message they are free. i was told that they would be 20 extra a month. I was also told I was saving 25% a month because i signed up for 2 years. So if like Todd says they cater to seniors that really means the cater to Medicare. I would like to see how much he charges the silvers sneakers program. If not for that program the gym would be out of business. I am all for silver sneakers but i am not cool with a gym that says the cater to a certain group of people. Everyone should be treated the same! not because they can charge Medicare whatever they want. This was not a review out of spite or anger. It is out of pure disappointment. (personal trainers must be certified to train)

I’ve been a member at numerous Bellingham gyms and ultimately landed here at Bham Fitness. The staff is always super nice and it lacks the gym BRO vibe that other spots have (I’m looking at you Fit Evo). They provide a spray bottle and towel for everyone to wipe down the equipment they use which makes it feel very clean. And it’s not near as busy as some of the cheaper gyms. There’s actually places to park. Go figure.

The sauna, steam room and hot tub are cherries on top.

Note: they just did a massive expansion with pickleball courts, hot yoga and spin classes which is rad.

Love this place.

Wow. Bellingham Fitness was incredible. My significant other and I were in town for the holidays and needed a temporarily gym for the week. Needless to say, Bellingham Fitness delivered. David and the staff in the front were phenomenal human beings and were very thorough, helpful and patient with us when we signed up.

A day pass was $15 and a 7-day week pass came out to be $43.52 after fees and tax.

The facilities at Bellingham Fitness were clean, the lockers were modern and the space was huge. We did not have any issues finding a place to park, the staff was polite, helpful and courteous and we never once had any issues finding a machine to use.

We're a few days into our pass and we're definitely fans. We'll be coming back to Bellingham Fitness again!

Hands down the best gym in Bellingham/Whatcom County. Has every equipment you would need to get your work out in and a lot of them as well. Also the owners and staff are phenomenal! They 100% take pride into what they do. I have been coming here for almost a year now and never once I have ever had a issue.

I love the availability of different equipment Bellingham Fitness has and I strongly appreciate how Scott welcomed both me and my toddler twins in. The daycare is great and I love how I was able to keep my membership after needing a break for personal reasons with an incredibly small fee. I definitely noticed a change in my body and the gym boosted my motivation to better myself so I’m very glad I came here and that I’m a member here.

A super great place to work out. Friendly staff and lots of space to work out. I did the fitness challenge they offer and was a little skeptical at first, but 6 weeks later I’ve lost almost 22lbs and about 4% body fat. The instructors they have for this are amazing and I would highly recommend if you’re looking to kickstart your weight loss journey or you’ve hit a plateau!

Scott and the team at Bellingham fitness were so welcoming and helpful showing me around this exceptional gym. Great amounts of cardio, free weights, and machines for all fitness level from beginner to advanced. A lot of expansion projects coming soon to the gym too for even more activities and things to do with a membership.

I love this gym! It’s usually quiet and hardly ever gets too full. The members are super respectful of each other, and the weight section is not just exclusively power-lifting men. I love the power pump class, and can’t believe that it is included in the price of the membership! Going twice a week to that alone is worth the membership fee.

Huge shoutout to Scott, one of the owners. He’s always so friendly and chatty, and today literally helped me dig through the trash to find something!

Let's talk about the 6 week challenge.

It's ambitious. It requires you put money on the table. It's exactly what I needed to get going, to be consistent and to get results.
1. Classes are 6am-7am and 5:30-6:30pm MWF. Afternoon class has always had a ton of people, morning class ranges from 2-5 (the trainer Simon is the best!).
2. They'll give you an off-cycle workout for T, Th, Sa or Su. Be just as consistent with it to get results.
3. They'll give you a meal plan. It's TOUGH...at first. They have a bunch of recipes though, and lots of members you can get tips from who've done it. I was at 315lbs at the age of 44 starting out and honestly, it was more food than I could eat in a day, so I was still losing weight without being hungry.

Show up. Be consistent. And it works. Commit to the habit and it'll keep working. 'Getting my money back' (in the form of credit) kept me coming in for 6 weeks and formed the habit to keep me coming afterwards. Once your 6 weeks are done, you can continue the boot camp-style class, get personal training or just use the gym if you've got a good groove going.

As other reviews have noted, the financials are 'different'. In particular, membership billing and receivables seem to be external. Personal training and/or continuing the boot camp class is a separate process and membership is not bundled into it. It also has a 2 week billing cycle process which is weird. That said, Todd the owner was transparent about the initial cost and what the process was, and he was equally clear in terms of going over pricing options for long term use. I particularly appreciate that personal training is month to month, no locking into a year long contract, you can cancel with 30 days notice. The prices seem comparable to other places, the gym is more my speed than other places, and the results are outstanding.

I'm 45 now, 3 months in, and this is the first and longest term fitness program that has worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you!

Disappointed. I went for my tour here, the staff were friendly and knowledgeable, the equipment choices and facilities were fantastic but what's with the false advertising re. Prices and joining fees?

On big signs outside the gym is says 'no enrollment fee' again 'no enrollment' on the website. When I went to sign up I was told enrollment was $47 as free enrollment 'just ended' (walk outside and take the sign down?) On the website the membership price is advertised as $19.99 biweekly. Again on sign up I was told it's $24.99 biweekly? Is this a genuine mistake? Who knows, seems like a Convenient tactic to get people through the door and then charge them more. It's a big red flag. I would have signed up but I can't trust that they will be honest with pricing.

Prior to joining Bellingham Fitness, I had been a member of another club for over 20 years. The first thing I noticed when I arrived was the welcoming staff, especially David and Amber. The next positive impression was the cleanliness and a very large selection of equipment. That's all great but let me get back to staff. David is always ready to help and Amber is always welcoming and personal with a great sense of humor. People like Amber give the gym a welcoming personality. It was hard to leave my old gym due to the relationships I had developed over the years. Within about 4-6 weeks I felt totally at home at Bellingham Fitness.

Thank you Bellingham Fitness. Even though the state shut gyms down again, the team at Bellingham Fitness utilized the covered outdoor area and now have cardio and weights in that area. Even though it’s outdoors Todd and his team are making it as comfortable as possible and we can still get a good workout in. Let’s all continue to support Bellingham Fitness and get through this difficult time together.
I was there this morning and the workout was GREAT!
Thanks again to the team at Bellingham Fitness

Look - If you want a reliable place to work out morning, day, or evening - Bellingham Fitness is the place. You get all the same benefits the other "average joe" gyms offer, but this place is actually sincere and authentic to the mission. The equipment is in great shape, the free weights are plentiful, and there is plenty of room for everyone. . . . . even during the busy times. Not only that, they are prepping to open another half of the gym that will more than double its capacity and class offerings. I cannot wait for the cycling, yoga, and other classes that are coming. . . . stupid Covid seems to have delayed the opening but it is coming soon.

Honestly, this place is the best overall gym in Bellingham. The staff is amazing. The place is always clean (and they hold the members to account as well!) and the owners are completely down to earth and always accessible. I really can't say much more - great place, great people, and a great workout. . . . . and even more to come!

I really do like this gym. The equipment is well taken care of and the trainers are all very kind. But the mask requirements are not inforced at all. Any time I got the the sauna area im laughed at when i have my mask on (its a gym rule) and i feel very uncomfortable and end up leaving. The staff just shrugs and says "its all about morals and there is nothing we can do." This is the most recent WA law updated 1/25/2022. 'We hope people will wear a face covering to protect the health of their friends and loved ones. However, not following the order may result in a misdemeanor subjecting the violator to a fine of up to $100 and/or up to 90 days in county jail per RCW 43.70.130(7), RCW 70.05.120(4), and WAC 246-100-070(3)'
I don't wanna get sick from the gym when I already work I Healthcare. B
But enjoy the rest of the gym. It's very good. Just satu away from the locker room and sauna.

I've been trying to cancel my membership for over 2 years now, do not go here.
While the gym and the services they provide are not terrible, the extent to which I've tried to, reasonably, cancel my membership has cost me hundreds. From day one I've been lied to about my membership and, at this point, have been trying to cancel my membership for over 2 years.
Not only had I been lied to about elements of my gym contract, I never asked, tried, or implied to continue my gym services past it's year long contractual end date. It's been YEARS now, I've switched gyms, and I'm still paying this parasitic company.
The staff may be nice and the equipment may be okay, but they're interested in your dollar and nothing more. Don't go here.
Update: finally cancelled. I know my experience is not universal and a lot of the staff are genuinely great, but I still can't recommend this gym to anyone. 2/5 stars

A bit late, but I travelled to Bellingham over thanksgiving break to visit some family that I hadn't seen in years, and I was looking for a gym to go to while I was in town. I got in touch with the owner Scott who provided me with a weeklong pass and I absolutely LOVED this gym. The equipment was in great condition, and they had several machines which I've never seen before that were great to use. Huge free weight section and plenty of benches to use! Would absolutely recommend this gym to any type of gym-goer.

All of this at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend.

Great staff and equipment. I really appreciate that they are keeping members safe by adhering to all COVID protocols including a mask policy. While no one likes to work out with a mask, including me, they are essential for health safety and I wouldn't attend if members didn't mask up. Luckily the men and women here are taking COVID seriously and doing their best in these trying times.

The gym itself is ok, but READ THE FINE PRINT of your contracts! They made it hard to cancel my membership and made it feel like they were trying to get every last penny they could from me. Every other subscription I use I can cancel with one click online. At Bellingham Fitness expect to make a trip in person and explain why your canceling and fill out a form. You’ll also prepay your last month so you can’t cancel immediately.

This is by far the best gym I've been to, and I've been to a lot. I have been to most in Bellingham, and this is the best. The people are extremely nice and courteous as others have mentioned, and the facilities are as clean as can be. It's a pretty good sized gym, (but not too big like the ones with accident-prone entrances that you can't get in and out of; no names mentioned) - and far from too small. This place hands down has the best Dry-heated saunas, steam saunas, and hot tub... all of them huge! I don't know about the woman's, but the men's locker room is gorgeous, large, and fully remodeled with fancy free easy-lock lockers made of wood for that country club feel. Very nice brand new covid friendly fully partitioned showers, toilets, the works,you name it. I am very pleased.

Read a previous reviewer calling people "Bots" just because they like this place, how rude. The guy also mentioned that this place is a scam and screws you over because you have to cancel in person. That is not true, all you have to do is call them. Also when you sign the very easy to understand bold in your face agreement, they make it very clear that they Auto charge you monthly, and if you don't want to be Auto charged call them and tell them that you want a different plan. Being nasty for no reason and trying to ruin a business is not cool just because you have no common sense.

This place is 5+ stars all the way. When I was walking out tonight I saw them building a brand new beautiful day care facility for parents on the go, they got it together! I like to see a gym that is constantly investing and making the facilities better, this place does!

The majority of the positive feed back comes from bots so don’t let that 3.9 fool you. Worst gym in Bellingham. This Gym will not allow someone to cancel a membership from a distance. Meaning you have to cancel in person, they also automatically renew your service without informing you. They are scam artist that are harmful to their military clients. If you travel I would suggest not starting a membership here.

I highly recommend this gym. My family previously worked out at the YMCA downtown. It was OK but didn’t quite have the vibe we were looking for. I am 46 years old, very into fitness and have been a member at many different gyms from high end spa gyms to a gym ran by bodybuilders and a strong man. We have checked out quite a few gyms here in Bellingham and found Bellingham fitness to be the best fit. We feel like for the amenities it is very affordable. It is a mix of college age students to middle-age folks, everybody mind their own business and focused on fitness. I feel safe sending my 15-year-old daughter here to train on around because it is enough of a family atmosphere that they watch out for her. But it’s still hard-core enough so that all of the equipment you need is there, all the free weights and cardio you could ask for. We do a lot of work in the fitness room which is open to anyone. We find it very relaxing for yoga and stretching as well as resistance band and medicine ball training. The steam room and hot tub are always kept clean, the whole facility is always spotless thanks to careful attention from the owners who are Bellingham locals. Check this place out after you’ve checked the cheap and crowded spots and the overpriced spots without as much equipment. Good luck finding your next gym home!

Overall, this is a great space, with ample facilities, and an awesome, upbeat staff.
