ABOUT US
LIFT LOCAL.
We never underestimate the power of community. A Seattle, WA
gym & wellness space designed to lift yourself up and bring
others along with you.
Lift local means supporting your neighbors.
It means a gym that includes everyone, a place to celebrate
and respect all bodies. Regardless of how you love
to move, we have what you need to get your sweat on.
WHO WE ARE
We bring family to fitness. After buying the Seattle gym in late 2019, our owners, John and Jess, worked to create a gym & wellness space which reflected the personal atmosphere of a family-owned business and delivered the range and variety of a commercial gym.
Using skills gained from years as a nurse working with marginalized populations, Jess has dedicated her
time to create a gym experience where everyone feels seen and capable. Her passion? Helping people meet both physical and emotional goals through healthy movement.
John is a Seattle native that brings 20 years of experience in the fitness industry to the table. Motivated by bringing people together through the common goal of self-improvement, he uses his knowledge to help transform lives. For him, providing the tools for people to create their own change is what it’s all about.
The heart and soul of our business? Vivienne, the daughter of John and Jess. She is a passionate reminder of why we work hard in the present to improve the future. A strong girl, who encourages us to remain curious, practice kindness and celebrate perseverance.
WHY WE LOVE WHAT WE DO
Healthy movement changes lives. A healthy version of you is the most helpful thing to society. By creating a safe space for all folx, we strive to be a welcoming piece of the First Hill Community.
We are excited to provide a place for people to engage in exercise, regardless of their access to outdoor space at home. Whether you love yoga, strength-training, cardio, group fitness classes or dance, we make sure we have the equipment you need.

FACILITY RULESWe're all about fun, sweat, and creating a kick-butt fitness environment! But let's also talk about the rules of the game, so we can all stay fabulous and keep crushing those goals together. Here's the lowdown: 🚫 Zero Tolerance for Nonsense: We don't play nice with violence, harassment, or any kind of discrimination. It's an instant ticket out the door if you go there. Let's keep it respectful and uplifting! 🌈✨ 🙅♂️ No Sneaky Guest Appearances: Sorry, but no free rides for friends. Sharing your barcode without permission? Membership terminated, just like that! 🚫👋 🤒 Sick Days = Gym-Free Days: If you're feeling under the weather, please stay home and recover. We'll be here when you're back in action! 🤧🏡 🎵 Rock Out with Headphones: We all love a good workout jam, but let's keep it in our ears, not on speaker. Headphones = music freedom! 🎧🎶 🏋️ Rack 'Em Up: After you've worked those muscles, be a champ and return your weights and equipment to their homes. No one likes a messy gym. 🏋️♂️🏋️♀️ 🧼 Sanitize, Sanitize, Sanitize: Keep it clean, folks! Wipe down your equipment after use so we can all enjoy a germ-free gym. 🧽🦠 🔐 Lock It Up: Protect your valuables! Use the lockers, and remember, we're not the superheroes of lost stuff. 🦸♀️🔒 💥 No Gym Dropping Dramas: We're here to lift, not slam! Respect the equipment and keep the noise down. No gym tantrums allowed! 🙉💢 📵 No Texting, Just Flexing: Get off your phone when you're on the equipment. Focus on those gains, not your latest texts. 🚫📱 Cover Those Gains: Show off those muscles, but keep it stylish! Shirts are a must, because working out with flair is how we roll. 💪👕 Breathe Easy & Clean: We're all about the fitness high, but please, no vaping, illicit drugs, or smoking. Let's keep the air fresh for those lung-busting reps! 🚭 Stay Awake & Activate: Save your zzz's for bedtime. Our gym is for working out, not napping. 💤🚫 📵 No Phones in the Workout Zone: We're all about the gains, not the phone calls. Please save phone conversations for the bathroom or outside. 🚫📱💪 Now that we've got the rules down, let's get back to the business of smashing our fitness goals and having a blast while we do it. You've got this, NW Fitness Fam! 💪🔥
