Be careful.....

by mtibbitts at Citysearch

This is my second time at Meikos. The first time was buyer beware, be sure to read all details of the membership contract.

The second time I rejoined to get serious about body and conditioning. Meikos does have a couple of excellent trainers. Again buyer beware.....ask for someone who has experience and can understand your physical condition. Look for a trainer that has been there for at least a year.

I am fortunate to have Alberto who has been doing this for over ten years. I am healthier and owe it to Meikos and Alberto for getting me to this point.

You can negotiate all contracts and they offer specials periodically.

The facilities are adequate.

• Pros: A few good trainers
• Cons: A few bad Trainers & Managers

Horrible Service

by ZK2009 at Citysearch

Once again, watchout for their personal training programs. They now use a auto renewal system that feels like it is impossible to cancel. I have been trying to cancel it for 60 days now and have been given false information at every step. Dont make this same mistake.

• Pros: Cheap
• Cons: Horrible Business Practices

A good family gym in need of direction

by CSMobileUser at Citysearch

This gym is right down the street from us so that was the advantage it had when my wife and I checked it out in 2007. The manager talked like a wheel and deal car salesman so we didnt join. Everybody on the staff were like kids who didnt have a clue about customer service and nobody cared about anything but getting our memberships. We decided to go back after Christmas 2008 and their was a Colombian guy who looks black named Antonio that met us at the door. He gave us a tour of the gym and made promises to help us with our goals if we signed up so we gave it a try. We signed up and went out of town for a week until returning and to our surprise he saw us walking in and greeted us by name and asked if we were ready for him to start helping us. He spent an hour with us and all the older members passing seemed to like him as well. He said he was the weekend manager and if you ever see him there he will break his neck to make sure you are helped. Him and his weekend staff are alot more helpful

The Worst!

by mdpotter2000 at Citysearch

As others have stated, this has to be the worst fitness club in Seattle. I could live with the cramped, dingy facilities if the service was good. But this company uses deceptive business practices and is not interested in what its members think. We too had the experience of the "third party billing company" making unauthorized charges to our credit card - to the point where we needed to cancel the card! And the company did nothing to help with the situation.

We have moved to another club and what a difference!

Poor business practices

by Gretchen9499 at Citysearch

This gym has lower dues but understand you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, for $30/month you cannot expect the facility to be clean, the maintenance to be kept up on the machines, the management to take care of you if you have a service issue or for them to be good on their word. I purchased a large package of personal training sessions and recently lost out on a lot of money. I understand the same is true for several other members in each of their locations. Apparently a magical time period ended so they said I could no longer use my training sessions I had purchased. I don't know what was on the fine print of the contract and frankly I don't care. Until recently all representatives of the company both implied by their actions and stated verbally (repeatedly) that there was no definite expiration date. I will be taking my business elsewhere and I hope others do the same.

• Pros: cheap, convenient
• Cons: management
