My wife works out at Sound Mind & Body Gym here in Fremont and loves it, I checked it out the other day and was impressed by the location (right on the water in Fremont), the friendly staff, and the free weights. I've never taken a class here, but the wife thinks the trainers do a great job with any skill level. Thinking about ditching Anytime Fitness close by to come work out here - better atmosphere.
Pros: Friendly, Fast
Cons: Not a "social" gym

As relaxing as a massage or pedicure might be (not that those aren't great too) there's something to be said for having a spa experience that isn't over until you want it to be over. Between the hot rooms, the pools (cold, tepid salt, and jacuzzi) and the delicious teas I could make a whole day out of it. The borscht manhattan next door at Venik is a tasty apres treat. But, be warned, one's tolerance may be considerably lower after spending several hours in temperatures well above 100 degrees.
Pros: very clean, despite all the sweaty people
Cons: I wish I could have it all to myself

Been going to this place for YEARS the only place that can cut hair worth a damn. Nicole is the one who cuts my hair and she is HIGHLY skilled!
Also all the girls who work there are cute. The owner is some times there and she is cool and her dog is totally sweet OMG!
AS for taking my dead bodies there that is an inside joke for the people who work there.
I love you guys!
-George
Pros: Great haircuts, good prices, nice dogs and the girls are HOT
Cons: NONE

Why do I love this store so much? I love this store because it is not like anything else in town. Great selection.
Unusual designers. I always want the stuff. I WANT it. Because it is cute and it is unusual, or it is elegant and unique; it is classic and funky. You really have to not be all that into yourself, or expect the girls to work for you...because they don't. Why? I don't know? Maybe they are shy, maybe they are hungry. It doesn't really matter. Just don't expect a lot of help and work hard for yourSELF. It is a good life lesson. YOU can do it. Find beautiful clothes for yourself and feel good in them.
Pros: Nice
Cons: Staff

I will have to admit that I almost didn't join this club because of the other reviews out there. I decided to join anyways since I get a good discount with my job and started my membership a few weeks ago.
I talked with a really nice guy named Vincent who helped me get started in the gym. He wasn't pushy at all, even when he offered the personal trainer services. I simply said 'no thanks' and it was left at that. I did not in any way feel like I was being 'sold' to, which I hate. Registration was nice and quick, I even got a tour of the facilities.
So far, I've been going to the gym a few times a week. Everytime, the people at the front desk are very polite and helpful if I have any questions. A guy named Jef helped me when I had questions on the elliptical machine and even offered me a cardio workout plan for myself, which I was really impressed with.
The locker rooms/showers are always clean when I've gone and so is the pool. I truly have no complaints with this gym, only good experiences so far. Thanks, Vincent and Jef! I hope this review gets to your manager. :)
Pros: Great service, nice location, clean facilities, helpful staff
Cons: none so far

Hi, I moved here recently from S.F. where we had so many great neighborhood spas and salons and have been very disappointed by the lack of choices and high prices for services in Seattle. I had given up until a friend told me about Swoon. It's just a really casual fun place to get a service - which doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I had a great mani/pedi and wax. Everyone really is super nice and friendly but not in a creepy way.
Pros: Great services, casual setting
Cons: On street parking but found out they reimburse for paid parking

I simply adore Frenchy's. It is minutes from my home and everyone there is polite, fun and creative. The merchandise is a slice of heaven, a little something for everyone.
Julie is the best for manicures. I have had French manicures for years with others and she is the most meticulous and they look very natural.
Most of the pedicure ladies are great, I tend to jump around because they are all really good and take their time with pride and perfection.
Erin or Janetta are excellent ladies for waxing.
I love the atmosphere here, very colorful, very girly, it is like a girls club. You rarely see a man in here, so the vibe is very relaxed.
Viktoria is THE BEST MASSAGE THERAPIST on the planet. I have been having massages for over two decades and no one comes close to her services. She does deep tissue work for your most stressed and tense areas of your body. She only works on Thursdays,but is worth the wait if you can make a Thursday appointment.
The front staff are friendly and always co-ordinated with appointments via phone and in person. Joanne, the manager is the hippest lady on the planet.
Cheers!
Lisa Rothschild~

We used Custom Cleaning every other week for a year at our old apartment. They were very reliable and flexible if we had to go out of town. They changed and washed the sheets as well as doing regular cleaning. They came and did a move-out clean for us which took them 8 hours or something and they did a fantastic job (our landlady was very impressed)!
Pros: Flexible, deep clean
Cons: none

so we have all been there....
i got to the gym, got dressed put on my tennis shoes on and then.... my ipod was dead! phew, good thing there was an ipod charger on the elliptical, made my day. i cant get into my groove without some tunes. this wasn't the only time i have realized how great my gym is.... just that extra little thing that pushed it over the top for me when i was already having a bad day. my favorite thing of all is sitting in the steam room after a long day at work and some cardio.
there are so many cardio machines to choose from, you can pretty much find a piece of equipment in every corner of the building. there is an old charm to the building and not to mention free towels to use. the prices are great and everyone that works there is very friendly. i suppose i have had A problem with the gym.... my protein bar got stuck in the machine :( but that doesnt really count because it could happen anywhere! i'm certain i will stay with this gym for many years, it's helping me live a less stressful life.
Pros: personal tvs, ipod plug ins, free towel service, steam room
Cons: my protein bar got stuck in the vending machine :(
