Great place, family run. Swimming pool is a nice perk. Also near a 5 mile trail if I want to add a walk to my workout. Trainer Marquis is fabulous, as a former personal trainer myself!

They usually have nice and friendly reception staff but the managers are hard to get a hold of when you need to reach out. They don’t seem to care to return calls or emails…so we’ll probably just move our membership elsewhere and take our chances with other management. It’s sad because this is a convenient location.

I can’t say enough positive things about how well Marqie Postl is as a professional fitness trainer and coach. She has help d me in my life to get the benefits of regularly scheduled workouts and exercise. She is extremely knowledgeable about the human body and knows exactly what I am personally capable of. I would recommend Marqie to anyone seeking professional and knowledgeable fitness coaching. She has a delightful personality! She is the best!!! Beth Renshaw

Marqie Postl at Stillaguamish Athletics Club is a great personal trainer to have I would highly recommend her!! I’ve been working out with her for the past year now and she has been absolutely amazing. She has got me ready for both of my jiu-jitsu tournaments where I’ve had to slim down from 158 to 149.

I started going to SAC when they hired Marqie Postl. I was very impressed with the cleanliness, the equipment all the free weights and the friendly staff and clients. But honestly it was just a bonus, i was there because Marqie, aka “Sweet Beast” was working there! Gotta say this girl is God send to anyone that gets to a do a workout from her. When i started working out with her i was pretty scared as other clients were saying how intense her workouts were. I have a rare medical condition and was told by Dr’s i should not workout, but i was done with their drugs and just wasting away. I was blown away by how interested she was with my condition and my physical condition. She actually looked up and studied my disease! She started me out slowly and made sure i was doing every movement correctly. Long story short, Marqie took me from a guy who could not do much more than walk to a man that is doing body building 2 to 3 times a week and has an active life style! Marqie truly cares about all her clients and is always upbeat, positive and makes hard workouts easy by making it fun. She has seriously changed my life! Thank you Angel!!!

Training with Marqie is a game changer! She’s like the energizer bunny of personal trainers—always full of energy, super positive, and she’s got a sense of humor that makes even the toughest workouts feel like fun challenges. Not only does she bring the laughs, but she also knows her stuff—her expertise in fitness is top-notch. What really sets her apart is her ability to hold you accountable while keeping things light-hearted. She pushes you to do your best but always makes sure you’re enjoying the journey. If you’re looking for a trainer who combines motivation, professionalism, and a whole lot of fun, Marqie is the one you need!

Marqie is one awesome trainer @ Stillaguamish Athletic Club!
She has a great personality, is fun, and cheerful.
Her intense workouts are amazing.
I am feeling stronger and building muscles because of her direction with her classes and individual instruction.
I love how I feel when I get done working out with her.
I appreciate her added helpful tips on correct form and her expertise concerning diet.
I hear awesome compliments fly all over that gym about her. ❤️❤️❤️

Stillaquamish did amazing finding this trainer!!! She is a keeper!!!!!!!!!

The old me was sitting there
Wasting my days
Packing on pounds
With Frito's and Lays

Then one day I put
The ol' tater chips down
I hopped off the couch
And I headed to town

I walked in the Stilly
And what did I see?
A blonde stack of bricks
Who was smiling at me.

"I'll be your trainer...
And I'll make you sweat.
I'll help you make gains
While you shed your regret"

She's little and loud
And she's covered in ink
She'll help prove you're stronger
Than anyone thinks

My man-boobs may jiggle
My gut may be sore
But she pushes me onward
And make me do more

She makes me do burpees
And lunges and things
Sit-ups and push-ups
And kettlebell swings

She also takes time
To know me, for real
And honestly cares
How I think and I feel

She's a bundle of love
In a 5 foot tall frame
A blonde bottlerocket
And Marqie's her name

I have been coming here for awhile now. Everyone at the front desk is so nice, polite and inviting. I do workout classes with Marqie. Her classes are fun and energizing. She is always helpful and knowledgeable if you have questions regarding working out or nutrition. Marqie as a trainer is fabulous and all around awesome person.

A few years back i was introduced to a personal trainer and i just saw that she works at SAC (Marqie). I went on a massive body transformation journey, losing 55 pounds and a mental change for the better. If you ever get the chance to use her services or the services of SAC please give them both a try. Her knowledge of muscle groups and the different stations to work them was unbelievable she put me on a strict but very satisfying diet. 4 meals a day along with her workout regimen. Marqie would even call me on off days to make sure all was well and making sure i wasnt cheating, and i never did. Stayed on her plan and the benefits where noticed by everyone. Thanks for everything Marqie and SAC couldnt have done it without you..

Always And Forever greatful.. Thanks Marqie and SAC..

I can’t say enough positive things about this gym. I’ve been working out with Marqie one of the trainers for years and have lost over 75lbs. She makes working out fun and I look forward to our sessions every week. She has a way of working with everyone individually as they are and in a way that sticks. She truly cares for each of her clients and it shows. There’s no question I couldn’t have lost the weight without her. I tell everyone I can about this gym. Everyone who works there is welcoming and polite. It’s always clean and never too crowded. Finding Marqie and this gym community has been such a blessing!

So far so great! They have everything I'm looking for in a gym, the guy at the front counter was nice and the shower was clean and hot. I'm in the area indefinitely so I like that they offer a month to month option. Honestly I'll probably keep it either way, always love supporting gyms that aren't named LA fitness/24 hours fitness. Check this place out.

Beware if you have to cancel, do it before the 20th of the previous month, or you will be charged for the next month. There are no exceptions. I have to move due to a family illness. They didn't care. They like to say their family, but they are not. If they could charge for parking, they would! They nickel and dime you for everything. They charge for using their dirty, stained towels. Do not join this place.

So I took my special needs son swimming there and they charged me $9 to sit and watch him and an additional five for him to swim. We've been going there for months and never had to pay this before we've always only paid $5 and I'm not sure if you know but there was a lifeguard on duty there's always a lifeguard there when we're there it's open swim. And the person that we met there did not pay $9 to sit there and watch their special needs child so I'm kind of confused on the Washington law thing that you tried to say it was has nothing to do with paying $9.

Edit to owners reply: False. You do in fact determine your acceptance and eligibility to Active & Fit membership, regardless of insurance coverage.

Was a fun gym until they upped their prices and began charging insured memberships like Active & Fit premium fees. There is nothing “premium” about the club with all their outdated equipment and run down facility. I happily saw past all that until they began charging with premium prices with this money grab. I won’t pay the increased fees

Needed to plug in my EV to a regular 110 volt wall outlet outside while I was here to ensure I could get home. Manager said that I couldn’t and that I was on my own. Kind of poor way to treat people in my opinion. In the future I’ll be going somewhere that has nicer people. Stay away!

I’ve been working out here for two weeks and already a huge fan. The employees have been super helpful and friendly. And I’ve had good conversations with other people working out. Truly feels like they’re building community instead of a place people go to just rep out sets with headphones in. Obviously one of the main selling points is the spa, pool, sauna combo, but proximity to the airport trail is also a great perk. The equipment might be on the older side, but it’s evidently clean and well-maintained which I think is more important anyway. Coming here is always a highlight of my week now.

Public, non- members can bring family (5,6,7,8 kids) to open swim on Fridays for $7.00
I am a member but I have been charged $10.00 for bringing my 6 yr old. they sent me a bill for $30.00. I am no longer a member at this place. I got a membership somewhere else. Also,the hot tub is so filthy they dump chemicals into it which burned our eyes and took the color out of my new bathing suit. Dirty place, dishonest manager. Ugh

Fantastic, family friendly gym. I just started here, and I'm not exactly a gym enthusiast, so we can get that out of the way now. However, my wife is and is looking forward to classes that are included with membership as well being able to use the multi lane lap pool, which is also sometimes used as a community pool and they offer several "aqua-fitness" classes in it as well.
My personal experience here: The staff is friendly and receptive. The bathroom and the locker room areas are always clean. The equipment has always been ready for use (I've been using the machines). The other patrons are friendly without violating "gym-etiquette."
Other notables, this is a two story gym that has seen some repurposing of spaces and room giving it an ecclectic feel that I personally find endearing. Access to the pool can only be accomplished by traversing the locker room, which makes a bit of sense to me.
Unfortunately, I don't have any pics to add, unless you want to see my family selfies infront of the facility! ;) I hope this helps!

First of all this gym has a pool. I'm assuming thats why it is so expensive, nearly $50 a month for a membership. To be honest I don't understand how they are still in business with those type of membership prices. I was paying for a couples membership for about 5 months & canceled to pay for just myself. In the end when I made the choice to switch to a cheaper gym & I was still charged to cancel the couples membership even though I canceled it 2 months prior. Best to just go to a cheaper gym or if you are looking for one with a pool, just go to the YMCA.

This is a great place to work out for all levels. I have taken my 5yo son here for swim lessons and for the community swim. I have been a member since August 2017, I find that I can get a great work out either on my own or in one of the fun group classes. I also participate in a group personal training session 2x a week. There is individual personal training available too.

The facilities include: Cardio: Rowing machines, ellipticals (responsive and traditional), treadmills, bikes. A full circuit of resistance machines. TRX harnesses, and a great selection of free weights. Also a lap pool, sauna, and hot tub. The facility is kept very clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. The trainers are detail oriented and able to train to multiple ability levels simultaneously.

I love that there are not a lot of televisions, there are a couple, but they are not distracting. I feel at home at this gym. I can get everything I need for my daily workout.

Outdated equipment and very expensive! They price themselves like PRO Sports club! I was surprised that they kept a straight face explaining the fee's after the tour. Too many other clubs near and far for much less with better/newer equipment.

Love the people sooo much. I have been coming for years. Majority (dont know them all) of the staff is amazing. Kids room is top notch, locker rooms are well set up. Parking lot newly renovated. I dont swim, but swim lessons are great for kids and the water classes get rave reviews. Sauna and hot tub available. Racketball room, trx room, and studio. No spin classes, sadly space wise it wouldnt fit. Music up stairs, but only one or two tvs, not enough for each treadmill and not at an angle you can safely watch and run. They always have clean facility, fresh towels for wipe up, and sweat towels. Key exchange for locker, monitored by staff. Safe space, near by local trail and side walks for running/walking. Flipping tires outside, pull up bars outside, and right off the main town road. Easy entry and exit.

Of course things could always use work...in every business. They try to accommodate all members of all ages.

Group fitness-
Typically has great classes offered,( miss pilates, dance fitness, and fresh fitness trends) high quality trainers. More classes at multiple times for options, would be great.

4 stars because it needs a lot of updating and more modern fitness set up. It is family owned small business, that is a plus. Their art is of gym members and they truly care about fitness for all body types. Members often become friends, because it is so close knit in a small town. Really great community.

Stuff I don't see here that I do at every other gym- Definitely need a stair mill!!, better battle rope set up, sleigh for pushing, area for body weight work, boxes for box jumps, and I would love to see weights/free weights/squat rack DOWNSTAIRS (need to drop weights in max situations) with bikes and rowers, set up more like a commerical vibe. NEEDS visit punch cards for guests and studio style classes for non members or to offer classpass, because it doesnt offer spin, zumba (all the time), pilates, barre, or rowing classes. The membership is too high because the pool, if you frequently take studio classes they dont offer outsode the gym and dont want to pay for pool use.

I love this gym. Opinions expressed are for review purposes based on fitness facilities offering as a whole. It is the best gym in Arlington. Family friendly. Knowledge trainers/group fitness leaders. Perfect place to make accountability partners and create change.

I come here to weight train. I originally came from the local Golds but... we all know what happened there!

I feel like nothing much has changed in my transition from Golds to here, I feel the owners have the same goals as Mike Moody. Overcharge and under serve.

1. Parking lot: full of pot holes of mammoth proportions. (see edit)
2. Parking lot: turns into a lake whenever it rains.
3. Weights: no bumper plates, no seat for military presses, one smith machine and one rack.
4. Weights: free weight area is very small. There is a TV positioned above it as well as a radio which limits you even further. You are not allowed to drop the weight even if you are compromised.
5. Staff: dropping weight is a big no-no. Do it once and they will glare at you each and every time you come in.
6. Staff: I will advise against hiring a personal trainer here. The golden rule: hire a personal trainer you want to look like.
7. Music: 80s soft music in the weight room with no choice on changing it.

Edit:
- They shut the gym down for a week to do the parking lot and repaint the outside. I hope this is not a yearly deal.

- The renovation of the parking lot has seemed to push all the water to the other side of the lot where originally there was no flooding.

- Pot holes in cement portion of lot were filled in with gravel.

- No addition to the weight room.

- Music was changed on 9/16 to millennial soft favorites.

The facility itself is decent. Highly advisable NOT to lock horns or cross management. Leaving your keys (representing a value of $1K to $100K+ depending on car or home) in a NON-secure place just so they (management) can save $30 (questionable) on replacement locker keys didn't set well.
