Exercise in Seattle

  1. 1 3.5 Star Rating: Average Sweat Box Yoga
    Read Reviews

    1417 10TH Ave Ste B, Seattle, WA 98122 (map)

    A user-friendly but fairly intense form of yoga, Birkram consists of 26 postures and two breathing exercises in a heated room. They don?t call it the Sweatbox for nothing.

  2. 2 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Century Ballroom

    915 E Pine St, Seattle, WA 98122 (map)

    Let this Capitol Hill ballroom?s 2,000-square-foot dance floor pave the way for you to break a sweat while you swing dance the night away. Try salsa lessons if Latin is more your style, and don?t worry about being single?they?ll provide a partner.

  3. 3 Sonny Newman's Dance Hall

    201 N 85TH St, Seattle, WA 98103 (map)

    Despite being forever associated with retro dance crazes, hula hooping is quickly becoming the new pilates. So much so, in fact, that many of the classes at this Greenwood dance hall sell out fast, so register early.

  4. 4 5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended Community Fitness

    2113 NE 65th St, Seattle, WA 98115 (map)

    Jump rope and get in touch with your inner six-year-old--you know, the one that didn?t mind working out for a half an hour straight at lunchtime recess. Double Dutch is not only fun and a great workout, but a good excuse to wear pigtails as well.

    If you?re brave and outging, check out this Central District gym for some daring classes. Showgirls, striptease and burlesque are all offered as unique ways to get in shape.
