Outrageously Fit Personal Training Studio

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Carla Quam after reading a testimony from the O.F. website of a skinny 55 year old male who got results. Naturally, I quickly signed up and started training hard under Carla. I have trained off and on over the years but with Carla, I got noticable results in about 12 weeks and I even had coworkers, who I do not normally work with, ask if I've been working out. Generally, the training is one-on-one with, at times, no other trainer in the gym. I will be a returning customer!

We first met Carla nearly 8 years ago through a referral from one of her clients. Approximately 5 years ago, we started working out together with Carla twice weekly as a way to spend time together while doing something that was beneficial for our physical health. We had tried gym memberships in the past, however, consistently found that a membership provided for too many easy excuses for skipping workouts. We found that Carla consistently monitors our progress from session to session and helps us meet our individual goals. One of our favorite aspects of working out with a personal trainer is that you never repeat the same workout twice! After 5 years of workouts, Carla still has the ability to push us to the point of exhaustion while having fun and providing encouragement when necessary. Working out at Outrageously Fit is never boring!!

Pros: Personalized service, friendly trainers

I've spent the last year working out with Carla Quam, a trainer and co-owner of Outrageously Fit and it has been some of the best spent time of my life. My original goals were to provide my wife with good "arm-candy" and to get into shape for our newborn's sake (my exercise and eating habits weren't going to exactly extend my life by any means...) Carla quickly took stock of my goals as well as my general physical and dietary condition and with a minimum of poking and prodding, has driven me to losing half of my body fat (in a good way) and after a year can still send me home exhausted (also in a good way). Like Carla, the studio is small, clean and lively. The things (besides work & general laziness) that kept me away from the gym in the past, was that when I tried other clubs I felt fat, weak and confused from the second I got there and on the flip side, working out at home never panned out as I never could tell if I was doing it right, nor was I willing to really push myself regularly. That's one of the biggest reasons I was so thrilled that my wife found Carla and Outrageously Fit for me. The staff schedule things so that you never feel overwhelmed or boxed in and this is definately NOT a meat-market environment, this is a serious facility where people have goals to meet, and enjoy the time they spend working out. The people there are motivated and it rubs off - you have one-on-one attention and with Carla you really feel like your success matters to her. The long and short of it is thus: fun, friendly trainers in a low pressure environment who figure out what you need and then get you to do it. It's great.

Outrageously Fit is an excellent personal training studio - they help people accomplish all types of goals, from weight loss, to muscle building, to marathon training. All of the staff are great but hands down Amy Woods is the best trainer we've ever worked with. She helps you quantify your goals and then develops a plan to help you achieve them. Her sessions are tough but fun and never boring - she constantly changes the exercises and order so that you're body is continually challenged. You are working hard each session but she also knows when to ease up or when to push your harder - the hour session goes by before you even know it. In addition, she is such a great person to be around, always fun, always energetic. We would highly recommend Amy and Outrageously Fit to anyone interested in improving their health and achieving their goals.

Pros: Great value for services, fantastic staff, wide range of hours, personalized development

My husband and I have Amy Woods as our trainer. What a gal she is. She's tough, and that is good, but she is also very compasionate and understanding. I told her my goals and she has worked on every one of them. I have never been as fit as I am now - both phsically and mentally. I am 65 and she is aware pf my phsical limitations. I also have Type II diabetes, She is always keeping track of what I a eating, which makes me accountable to eat good food. I owe her a ton of gratitude for what she is doing for me. Seeing Amy is the best thing I have ever done! You rock girl!!

Pros: Casual and friendly atmosphere

Cons: Parking not adequate

We have been clients of the studio for apprx. 18 months now. We find them to be exactly what they advertise. Our trainer, Amy Woods, spent a whole lot of time with us getting aquainted and finding out what our goals were and what we hoped to accomplish. She has never waved from helping us reach those goals. She is very, very good at what she does. She is fair but she is tough, tough in a good sense. That being, her primary goal is to help us reach our goals. Without reservation I can highly recommend Outrageously Fit Personal Training Studio in general and Amy in paticuliar. Amy makes us feel just plain good about outselves. She truly cares about her clients. 'Try Them, You'll Like Them'. They truly care about you. Oh yes, we're both senior citizens, I'm 70 and my precious wife is 65. We've never felt better, physically or mentally. Thanks Amy, You Rock Robert Sheehan - Bothell

Pros: Smaller operation, more personal atmosphere

My partner and I have been working with Amy for one and a half years. We are middle aged women who wanted to get in better shape. Thanks to Amy's help we exceeded our expectations. Our workouts are varied and pinpoint our unique needs. Ambiance is casual & all ages & body types are made to feel welcome; the environment is relaxed and unpretentious.. We find Amy to be extremely knowledgeable & responsive. Muscular thumbs way up!

I've been going to Outrageously Fit for over 5 years now and I am so happy with the trainer I have. Carla knows exactly what to do to get the results I want. Initially I was going to see a trainer for a few months but I enjoy it so much that I've continued for years! I've watched other trainers there and I can see why this place is so popular - they're all great with their clients. It's a very comfortable environment and it's fun (as they say). I highly recommend Carla or any of the trainers there!

Pros: Nonintimidating environment and quality trainers

Cons: Can get busy in the evenings so parking can be difficult - but it is the city - parking is bad everywhere!

I wouldn't go anywhere else. If you want to get fit, this is the place to go. They know their stuff and will give you a work-out that makes celebrity trainers look wimpy and behind the times.

I've been going to Outrageously Fit for a year. Its a cozy place but not crowded. There's no meat heads either. My wife and I workout together once a week with one trainer, Tammy. She puts together idividual workouts for each of us that are different each week. She's fun yet attentive and serious when needed. I get a good workout but can still move the next day. She'll push you but not torture you. There's only one small thing I don't like... there's a separate massage room on one side of the gym area. There have been a few times when our workout time conincided with a massage time. You can't have music on and have to be quiet when there's a massage so as to not disturb them. I understand the request for quiet but I don't seem to be as motivated when I workout in silence. But since this isn't a regular occurance, I still highly recommend Outrageously Fit.
