Ryze is truly a wonderful place. Good times for classes. The childcare is awesome for young families like ours. And my wife and I can workout together and both feel great. I haven’t been big into group classes but have really enjoyed the culture and workouts here. #getswole

Fantastic place to get a good workout! The trainers walk you through the circuit and help correct your form during the workout. Look no further if you want to connect with terrific people who are in it with you, even when you're feeling the hurt 💪 These classes will push you physically and mentally. I've been going for a month and I've been loving it. Let's goooo!

JD Elite is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. The workouts are both challenging, yet accommodating to everyone, no matter your experience. The trainers and owners are incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and put so much effort into making this such an uplifting space. I was fairly new to Bellingham when I joined JD Elite, and I’ve really appreciated the sense of community that JD has brought into my life. If you’re looking for a place to find community, or just get a high quality workout in, JD is the place to go!

🔥 Best Cross-Training & Strength-Conditioning Gym Ever—It’s More Than a Workout! 🔥

If you're looking for a gym that gets it—like really gets it—this is the place to be. From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel the buzz of energy and positivity. The vibe? Welcoming and chill. The community? Friendly and motivating.

The workouts are absolute fire—challenging, full-body, and designed to push you just the right amount. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, the classes are accessible yet totally kick your butt in the best way. You’ll leave every session feeling stronger, faster, and more alive. You'll never get bored; each workout differs from your last. The playlists are next-level, perfectly curated with high-energy beats and feel-good anthems that keep you hyped and pushing through every rep like a total boss. 🎶🔥

But what really sets this gym apart is the people. The owners are the kind of humans you want in your corner—genuine, supportive, and ridiculously creative. They bring so much personality to their programming, from themed holiday workouts that are actually fun to thoughtful touches like post-class coffee and snacks or community shoutouts and fundraisers. It’s the little things, ya know?

And the members? Pure gold. Everyone’s here to work hard, hype each other up, and grow together. No egos, no intimidation—just good vibes and mutual respect.

In short, this gym isn’t just a place to sweat—it’s a place to thrive. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a fitness experience that’s as fun as it is effective. Come for the killer workouts, stay for the community. 💪✨

Fantastic gym! Not only do they have great trainers and effective workouts, they have also created a strong community. They host a variety of classes/events/workshops/parties/hikes outside of their usual class schedule. Their kids room is a great help for parents who want to workout. The owners are incredibly kind and care about their members. Highly recommend this gym.

JD elite is awesome! Workouts are great. But I think the community is the even better perk! have been jumping around the PNW for a few months now and JD elite was by far the most welcoming gym community I have seen and I have been working out for over 15 years! Would definitely recommend checking it out, if not immediately signing up if you are in Bellingham! #1 gym in Washington!

I’m coming up on my 10th class, the instructors are amazing, the people surrounding you are always uplifting and supportive. They offer modifications in case you are injured/post partum etc. Plus, I haven’t been able to work out as often with a toddler and I was able to bring him to the daycare class they offer and it was amazing. Thank you for providing something so great for families! Love this gym!

Great place to move the body and just grind. As terrible as you feel during the workout, nothing beats the feeling afterwards! It keeps you coming back for more. It also doesn’t hurt that the owners, employees, and members are welcoming and wonderful human beings. We challenge each other to be better every day =)

I’ve always been wary of group workouts. I’ve tried a few different places and JD elite was the best fit.
I love being able to show up, not think about planning my workout and leave 40 minutes later exhausted and mentally ready for the day.
It has an inclusive atmosphere, matter what stage of fitness you are at.
Heath and Jacob are amazing coaches.

I've been going to JD Elite for about four months now, three times a week. I was initially apprehensive about it, but after doing a week of free classes, I found myself loving it more and more. The workouts are hard and FUN. Heath is my usual trainer and he is so encouraging and attentive. I'm looking forward to bumping up to four times a week. Thanks so much, Jacob and Heath, for all you do. This gym has been such a great addition to my life.

I found JD half way through my sophomore year at WWU by googling gyms in the Bellingham area. I went in for the free first class they offer, and I’ve been hooked ever since! The sense of community and supportive environment is just what I was missing during my first year of college. Ever since I began going to JD, I’ve met so many new friends, and my physical and mental health has never been better. Jacob and Heath are the greatest trainers, always making the early morning or after work classes fun and energetic, and happy to help modify workouts to best fit abilities or limitations. I am so thankful I am apart of the JD elite family, and recommend that anyone and everyone should try this awesome gym!

JD Elite is the best!! I starting about 6 months ago after belonging to another local gym for far too long. The work outs are tough (which I love), but they can be modified for all levels of fitness! Jacob is awesome and he is always very encouraging! I love the energy of this gym - it has a great family feeling to it!

I love JD Elite because the community is loving, supportive and there to work hard. The workouts are tailored to work all muscles and you can do them at your own pace. Danielle always helps with correcting form if you need it and pushing you to be a better you. She is caring, open hearted, and genuine. The workouts are better than most of my college track weight workouts.

JD Elite, i.e. Danielle and Jacob, provide a positive atmosphere to work out. They challenge all levels of fitness using positive reinforcement, not punishment. Danielle and Jacob, as well as the other participants in the class, are all very encouraging and accepting of people from all walks of life. Come join us, it's fun.

I have always loved working out but have had a hard time finding something that really challenges me like playing football did, until I started working out at JD Elite Fitness. Every day is something new that pushes you to do your best and we always leave feeling accomplished. There is no going back to a regular gym after going here! Love this place and the great trainers!
