We share a passion for the fitness industry and take special interest in bringing fitness to the everyday individual. We feel the energy, vitality and longevity derived from a healthy, fit lifestyle should be available to everyone, regardless of age or personal obstacles.

We have started and operated several successful small businesses together previously (including fitness facilities) and bring that experience to the management of Urban Athlete. A cornerstone to all our businesses is the attention and dedication to the needs of our clients and customers.

We believe in providing value for the products and services we offer, one of the reasons our exercise classes and towel service are included within our low, monthly membership fee.

Have newer equipment which is nice, the front desk staff is extremely friendly but unfortunately most patrons and trainers do a poor job of space management. It is a small space which I understand can be challenging but there is a substantial lack of awareness. It can be quite frustrating if your going to a gym to train and improve your physical fitness, maybe its ok if your one of those people who treat the gym as a social experience.

I’ve been a member since last year, just after these guys opened. I was thrilled to see a gym go in so close to where I live: I mean, when you can stumble across the street what excuse do you really have NOT to go work out? LOVE the business model: they will be limiting membership so as to ensure members have access to equipment when they do come in, and things never get too crowded.
I recently started seeing Chad as my personal trainer (also owner). Chad as a trainer has been FABULOUS! He works hard to devise solid, all-body workouts well in advance of me being there. Having worked with other trainers who choose to workout on the fly, this was über refreshing — I need to be in and out in under an hour, and his preparation in advance ensures this. He was sure to sit down with me in advance, find out my history and goals. His workouts have been challenging, but not so much so that they are discouraging.
If you’re looking for an über clean facility with top-notch equipment and a staff that actually cares, look no further!

Great gym on 14^th Street near Kensington.
I’ve been a member since the beginning and I’ve tried some classes and personal training sessions. The classes are good, especially pilates! I love my trainer Wendy… she’s a machine! The equipment is great, and machines feel high end. Plus, from what I have seen so far, there is a minimal amount of douchy gym rats there! ;)
Very nice change rooms and a couple of large showers.
I guess the only down side is the size of the classroom, which limits the number of people who can take the classes. I see that as a good thing, because I prefer smaller classes, but it may get crowded.

This is a great little gym, just feet from both my office and home (yes, I’m one of those lazy people who choose to live blocks from work so I can roll out of bed at the last possible minute).
The staff are friendly and helpful, the equipment is plentiful, new and clean. There isn’t much floor space in the machine room (you often need to take your free weights/balance ball into the classes room so you’re not in someone’s way), so when classes are happening I I think it could get very busy/crowded when they get more members. Changing rooms are a bit startling — look like something out of a ritzy spa vs. a gym!
I’m not sure what their classes will be like, as they only just opened and haven’t gotten their schedule together yet. They mentioned TRX, Spin, Zumba and Yoga as likely, however.
Right now they’re offering specials, so they are pretty affordable — if you buy a year membership. Month to month it’s $ 70 otherwise!
I’ve asked about drop-in, which they offer for $ 12, but they say they’ll discontinue that once they get more members so as to give ‘priority’ to them :(
Unfortunately, I won’t be one. While the staff were wonderfully helpful during my free trial week, and the location is amazing, I already know I won’t use it enough to justify the expense, especially since I think it’s going to be far too packed for my preferences.
Might be really good, however, for people who live in the Hillhurst/Sunnyside area, like hitting the gym pretty much daily, are ok with being a bit crowded, and are looking for somewhere with a local feel to it.
