Urban Fitness

This gym was very pleasant as long as you were a member. Then the crap hits the fan when you attempt to leave. Due to work xfer, I knew I was moving in a short period of time (note this was after my 1 year contract was over and on a month to month payment). I called and told them I wanted to cancel yet could not come in for another 2-3 weeks to sign anything due to being out of town... Then when I come in I find out I had been billed after my notice was given. They said I had to fill out paperwork to cancel. So paperwork canceled and here I am today seeing yet another chargebacuase they require 30 notice. Long story short... they take about 3 additional payments before they get to canceling your membership even if your on a month to month payment system... Will never go back nor recomend! A few friends are canceling as I write this... more

My job took me up to Mount Vernon and I needed to find a place to work out. I've worked out in the Seattle area for along time and I did not want to go to a place that has salesman breathing all over me to buy things. When I went into Urban Fitness I was greeted by the owner Sham. She gave me a tour and explained to me that she was in the business to change peoples lifestyles and she only does this because she cares for the health of everyone............of course, being from a bigger city gym I just took it for what it was worth and watched. I did join and I saw person after person achieving goals and changing. From weight loss to muscle gain, Sham and her staff are really making an impact on people and that is what I like to see. It's rare that you find a gym that does. I love the free weight room, it's the best. The equipment is always clean and there is always a smile at the door...............and no pushy sales guys. LOVE IT! Pros: Trainers and Free Weights more
