Editorial Review for Sound Mind & Body Gym – by Kathryn Babson
The Scene
If all you want to hear is the sound of your own heart pounding, you'll love it here. No blaring TVs or music in the cardio- and weight-training rooms. (TVs are available, however: Just tune in your Walkman and listen privately.) This laid-back attitude rules, from the flexible membership packages--no contracts and no initiation fees--to the non-interfering staff and low-key regulars.
The Workout
All three floors of the 40,000-square-foot facility have views of Lake Union Canal. Enjoy the scenery and work up a sweat on the frequently updated equipment, which includes rowing, Elliptical Trainers and VersaClimber machines. Or just have fun with on the basketball court or one of the two squash courts. Personal trainers, with excellent credentials, visit the gym by appointment only. Group classes are heavy in yoga and step.

I mainly go to the yoga classes here, which I have found to be quite good. Yes, weekend classes can be crowded. Weekdays are rarely crowded, and the downstairs gym is often nearly empty at lunchtime. There is a good variety of equipment and weights, and it's clean and has nice daylight.
Pros: Facility, View, Yoga classes
Cons: No pool

This place has the most unfriendly staff for such a beautiful place. There have been few if any occasions a front desk staff smiles or is at all friendly. Some of the trainers are so aloof that, if you get up the courage to ask a question, you walk away feeling inferior. There is a great view of the ship canal which is the only redeeming quality of the place. All of the yoga classes are full to the point you have to always be aware of where the person next to you is so you don't bump into them. The ski conditioning class ratio is about 50 members to two instructors who offer absolutely no support if you have any kind of injury. Finally, be sure to bring an ipod or something because they blast crappy music all through the club- even the locker room- so don't expect a peaceful sauna or steam... the bass is so loud it shakes the walls. Oh yeah, don't count on a parking spot in the evening- the lot is always full.
Pros: great view
Cons: unfriendly staff, loud music
