IanFitness

The Ian Fitness trainer was screaming instructions to her class again this morning, during the 5.30 am class, waking up neighbors in an otherwise quiet neighborhood. Closed windows, ear plugs, pillows over heads – and we can still hear the screeching. We have called Ian Fitness several times about the noise and the disruption to the neighborhood in the early morning hours. They did close the garage doors which helped immensely and is the reason for two stars in this review instead of one. The noise level has improved over the last few months. But this morning, it’s still too much – is she using a microphone?! Ian Fitness seems like a good business and we ask them to please be good neighbors and keep the noise down. We will be happy to repost with more stars if this problem can be resolved. Thank you.

For those of you who haven’t discovered Ianfitness in West Seattle, all I have to say is «What are you waiting for?» Jill, the main trainer at this location is not only the best motivator I have ever worked out with, but also genuinely cares for each of her students. She totally kicks my *** every time I’m in class and I love her for it. This is hands down the best place in town and by far has the greatest group of people attending. No gym rat douche bags here for sure. Just neighbors motivating neighbors to be the best they can be.
From the bottom of my heart I can’t thank you enough. Without you I couldn’t do 31 burpees in 60 seconds, 54 perfect push-​ups in 60 seconds and now 25 unassisted full body pull-​ups.
Thank you Jill and Ianfitness for bringing your services to us in West Seattle. Keep it coming!

amazing!!! i have been exercising for many years… and i have never encountered a group of people who care more about you winning at your goals! this group rocks! the trainers care deeply about you getting what you say you want! i have been working out with them since they opened 7/1/15…and i am deeply grateful to what they put into their boot camp… they are all heart & soul… while kicking your butt into shape! it’s the best money very well spent! thanks jill vonbuskirk & chris cuffee for always making it fun! you guys inspire me to get up everyday and get out of bed at ungodly hours! lol!

Amazing fitness facility ! I am new to the area and was super excited to find a workout facility so close to home. The instructors are incredibly motivating and it always fees like I am working out with a great group of friends. The format is exciting and pulls you in ! Everyone must give this place a shot. The energy is contagious !

I’m so glad IanFitness is in my neighborhood. The 45-​minute Bootcamps are fantastic. Jill is a great instructor with the perfect balance of encouragement and instruction. I can’t believe how much my overall fitness and conditioning has improved in a relatively short period of time.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME studio!!! I walked in to Ian Fitness one day when I drove by and started inquiring and asking about the boot camps and the studio in general. Since the initial couple of weeks that I started doing their boot camps, I am hooked. An awesome mix of cross training, kettle bell, TRX, cardio, and a number of other «classic» gym moves all incorporated in to one FUN session = 5 stars in a heartbeat!
Ironically, I also was able to convince my girlfriend (who has never done work outs EVER like these!) to join the fun and we are now loyal and prescribe 100% to the work outs, teaching, consistency, and are delighted with the RESULTS we are seeing. Jill is our primary trainer, and between her work out regimen, her constant «high-​fives» as we work out, and workouts that mix in full body and cardio, it feels like the 45 minute session is complete in a blink of a an eye all while I am dripping with sweat. A few days a week Chris covers and leads classes, and his work outs are truly «beast mode» in full effect– which leaves my muscles happy and seeing RESULTS. The balance between both Jill and Chris is fantastic and has my body feeling and looking great.
***Here’s why Ian Fitness West Seattle is unique and different from other studios or classes or gyms and is 100% worth a session to try: There is ZERO «selfishness or judging» in terms of the people walking in that door. People of all body types, ages, etc. with all kinds of goals and objectives, and the support and positive reinforcement is unlike ANYTHING you have seen***
Lastly, and this comment is specifically for the neighbors on this Unilocal post who are complaining about the sound and how «loud» it gets: Obviously, the last thing we want to do is frustrate your way by which you live. However, I will say this– inside the studio, the music is actually VERY quiet, the trainers are respectful and doing everything in their power to not let the volume control go to a point to disturb (they keep the garage, regular doors, voices, and music WAY down as a conscious effort), and we are all doing out very best to be respectful to the residents of the area… If you don’t believe me, put on your work out gear, and try a session– you’ll realize very quickly that the volume is actually no where near what you are imagining it to be.
Anyway– 5 stars for Ian Fitness West Seattle– AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!

Whether you are a workout beginner or serious exerciser this Ian Fitness in West Seattle is an awesome place! They have wonderful Seattle Personal trainers, nutritional guidance, and fun/​amazing workouts that can be completed in as little as 45 min. I also just completed my 1^st 6 week challenge and have lost inches, weight and have more energy than ever to make it through my busy work day! I am officially ADDICTED to this place! I cant wait to do another challenge too!

I gave Ian fitness a try because I was losing hope in my fitness goals after not seeing improvement from my own gym régime. I bought a 6 week groupon deal willing to try it out and learn some new exercises I could do on my own. But I couldn’t get enough from these amazing classes I ended up signing up for a membership that’s worth every penny. At west seattle, Jill is the best trainer I’ve ever met. She really makes it a great experience from the get go by remembering every persons name. The atmosphere she creates is full of positive energy, even if you walk in not too excited for the workout she makes sure your pumped by the time your done warming up. Her endless amount of high fives and words of encouragement make you want to succeed. I really appreciate how friendly the environment is as well with monthly happy hours to get to know your Ian fitness community. Only complaint: wish there were more time options for weekend classes. Over all, I love my gym and am seeing results!

This seems like a nice gym and an honest business but I am commenting in agreement with Brad G. I live in the apartments right across the street (assuming Brad might live there as well) and the trainers at this gym are literally yelling commands into a microphone and loud speaker system. Here’s the deal, the gym is a garage style/​cross-​fit style gym where the garage doors are open during workouts, the coach has a mic, and the volume is cranked up. There is often loud music as well. With the garage doors open like this it creates a sort of sub-​woofer effect and echoes for many blocks. Being right across the street, that sound is blasting straight into my living room and bedroom windows. I’m all for a gym in the neighborhood but why do these coaches need 1) the volume turned up all the way? and 2) need a microphone at all? I’ve been to plenty of gyms and had trainers who can train groups with the sound of their natural voice, no amplification needed. It doesn’t seem to me that there are more than 20 – 30 attendees at work-​outs tops, and in a space that is about the size of a 2 – 3 car garage a trainer’s natural voice should be able to command the room w/​out amplification and music shouldn’t have to be so loud. I don’t typically comment on these sort of things but it’s getting annoying for neighbors just as Brad G stated.

I would like to welcome IF to the neighborhood however the noise that is projected from their studio enters our closed doors and windows. Nothing like hearing an instructor proclaim «3…2…1…» over and over when you’re trying to relax at home.
Multiple emails with the owner has only served to rectify potentially-​illegal sound (before 7am) that was waking us up (beginning the first day they moved in). No regard seems to be held for the people who actually live in the neighborhood.

I signed up for Ian Fitness with a friend after we decided that our workout routines needed a boost. After one three weeks I am a die hard believer in what Ian does.
The classes are inspiring. People of all fitness levels together, completing the same workouts and supporting each other completely. I have never once felt intimidated or out of place. I cannot rave enough about the trainers (especially Jill) and the set up– simple yet effective. I am SWEATY after 45 minutes. It’s completely supportive and such a wonderful experience. I am always looking forward to my next workout.
I have had gym membership after gym membership and have never come close to being in a gym as much as I am at Ian Fitness (No joke, I once paid a year membership in advance and can count the times I went on one hand. Not a proud moment). Yesterday, I had a long lunch at work and raced home to grab my workout gear in order to make the 9:30a class. That never would have happened a month ago.
Ian Fitness is the real deal !

I recently started working out again after several months of little activity. I signed up for the 7 day trial on the website and am so glad I did! Now I actually look forward to working out! Every class is different, and Jill the trainer is super energetic and motivating! If you’re on the fence about trying this place, just do it. You’ve got nothing to lose!

Absolutely amazing the way I felt after only 2 days! Jill is an awesome trainer, she creates a great atmosphere with a totally positive energy and encouragement!
