I recently joined Denali Fitness at Interbay. All of the equipment is very high quality, and the spinning bikes are the best I have tried. The display screen calcuates your heart rate, the rpm, and is built with gears like a road bike which makes the spinning classes very challenging. The facility is very clean and spacious. What sets this facility apart though is the staff. They are very professional, do not use high pressure sales techniques, and are always helpful. They actually remember your name when you walk in the door. Plus they just introduced Kineasis which is an awesome workout using functional exercises and cables. While they charge extra in addition to the membership dues, the classes are limited in size so it's like having a personal trainer at a fraction of the price. All of the other classes are included in the membership fee though. Parking is convenient and plentiful, and they offer free use of hand towels. The only temporary drawback is that the class schedule has changed some and there aren't a ton of classes yet, but as more people join they say more will be added. I would definitely recommend this place!
Pros: Great classes, beautiful facility, and professional staff.
Cons: Can't think of any.

compared to most gyms that are interested only in taking your money and barely recognize you beyond your plastic, this place has congenial front desk staff, respectable hours, and sufficient machinery to preclude a feelng of being overwhelmed. good location, not especially overcrowded except for the expected peak hours, and a good variety of equipment. even the price seems fair. they have classes i have not taken, e.g., cardio, and even a small sauna. i would recommend this place.

This is not a megagym like the Pro Club, but it is a good basic neighborhood place that works super well if you live in the Madison Park area.
Its a labor of love of some ex-techies and I really admire how they've made this former Sound, Mind and Body terrific.
The machines are new and they work, but the gem if their upstairs. They have a terrific studio upstairs that is perfect for those of us who want to spin in silence or do our karate moves without folks looking at you.
The new weight machines are fine, but there is still something about the uggy sweaty gyms of the 1980s that these workout palaces lack. Maybe it is the ultraquiet and the fact that no one really grunts, 'uh" when benching 500 lbs :-)

This place caters to moms from Madison Park--it's not really for anyone else. That's cool, but it's cramped and crowded-- they need more space for the equipment they have.
