Ligot Training Systems

When I woke up this morning I felt like someone violated me. My ass is so sore yesterday’s workout. If you’re looking for something different to get you to the next level, then Ligot is the place to be.

I have been working with the Ligot training team now for about 8 months after going through PT for 6 months. The program is amazing and has helped me rebuild my core and strengthen muscles that I didn’t even know that I had so that I am stronger than before. Now I can get back into more training for sprint tri’s…but keep working with Ligot as well! I highly suggest their program for beginners all the way up to seasoned athletes!

I love this place. Just finished a three-​month trial period. Taking a break because I’ve got too much on my plate this month and I’m struggling with sleep deprivation, but I hope to be back as soon as I finish a major project at the end of the month.
At the start of the year, I was looking to shed some holiday weight. I got in touch with Curt. He was super helpful and responsive. He listened to my circumstances and really worked with me to make membership possible.
I’ve been working out 2 – 3 times per week with Jared, who is both a sweetheart and an ass-​kicker! The workout are challenging, my muscles are always sore and the company is awesome. Seriously, I never realized the gym could be so fun. Ligot caps classes at 6 individuals. That intimate environment allows Jared to pay a lot of attention to each person. He’s great at tailoring our workouts according to our skill level.
As for the exercises, they work out the entire body. The flow and repetition will make you sweat. Lifts, squats, stretches, cardio — there’s a bit of everything in each workout. I always leave these sessions feeling awesome.
I highly recommend Ligot Training Systems to people of all skill levels. These guys are all heart AND hard work.
I’ll be back.

Curt is terrific. He has helped dispel my misgivings about going into a gym. He recognized that I am not a gym person, and he understood my old reluctance toward physical fitness activity. He gave a little instruction, listened to my wisecracks, and patiently watched me come around to making an effort. Without bullying, he keeps me working hard and staying focused. He’s positive and encouraging without overwhelming me with phony cheerleader enthusiasm. I’m now starting to see and feel results of the challenging work, and — I never thought I’d be saying this about a workout — I’m having fun. I’m very grateful to Curt and Ligot Training Systems for helping me to change my health habits and to improve my attitude about my own physical fitness.

So I had just moved to Seattle from sunny SoCal and found myself in a horrible rut that typically found me on my couch curled up with my dogs and best friend Ben & Jerry’s… I think it was right around Halloween when I scrolled by Curt’s Facebook ad. I answered and a day or so later heard back from Curt Ligot, and at that point he honestly changed my life.
I had pushed the scale at 236lbs, and was being told by my doctor that I had tested with border line diabetes with levels at 6.4. I didn’t really have a local support system, knew no one and was starting a new job in a new city and rather down in the dumps. My knees hurt, my back was sore and had gotten real lazy.
Living in Kent, I was hesitant on the drive to Beacon Hill to see what Curt was working with. However, I got a good feeling from talking with him and felt a level of comfort so I decided to go in and give it a try, heck it was a free session with a trainer. I had sessions in the past (LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, Bally’s, Gold’s) with trainers and all were basically the same. Do lots of cardio and train on this program that everyone else they coach are on, and no need to listen to what the client wanted or was telling was ailing them. So to meet with Curt and in one session know this was something I had to put all my heart and soul into, it was different. He listened to me about my aching knees, sore back and all my employees that lead to a daily migraine headache.
Obviously abs are made in the kitchen just as much as they are in the gym. But things seemed to happen quicker with LTS. Not only did my knees feel better, I had more energy and desire to eat healthier. I talked to Curt during my sessions on food, and health ideas out of the gym. It was awesome and just as important as the sessions. He gave me tips and pointed out a couple key factors I would’ve never thought were not the healthiest choices to eat.
I could seriously go on and on about how beneficial this program is/​was to me. Whether you work with Curt or Jared you will get a great attitude, complete attention, 100% support, motivation, advice and all in an environment that makes you want to learn and grow as a person.
Before you know it my twice a week visits went to 4 times a week, and the drive from Kent was never an issue I welcomed it. Working with LTS helped me reduce my body fat from 28% to the 18% range, my doctor flipped out when 9 months later I was testing at 5.3 range and completely in the healthy range, see you later diabetes! Oh and not to mention I now hover in the 185 — 195lbs in weight, I stayed dessert free for over 200 days with the help of Curt and team.
My new lifestyle of exercise and eating healthy is now who I am. Working with LTS has aided in my ability to become stronger both mentally and physically. Most importantly, he believes in me. There’s not a day that goes by that I turn down any chance to be challenged. It is those challenges that keep me motivated and keep me wondering what’s next in line to conquer.
Anyone that is questioning LTS don’t hesitate to reach out to me!
Thanks!

Having done various exercise programs in the past — power lifting, body building, progressive calisthenics etc I thought I knew what I was doing. .. what Curt knows and has been able to train me on has flipped my whole idea of fitness and athletic performance upside down.
The idea of being powerful and moving with fluidity, speed and power has not only made my body move like I am 10 years younger, but is also the most fun and engaging workouts I’ve ever done!
Yes, the workouts can be tough and you will sweat and work, but you will look forward to each workout. And you can forget about therapy sessions, there is nothing better than throwing stuff around.
If you are reading this review, my recommendation is to stop and contact Curt now because you won’t regret it.

Curt and Jared are nothing short of amazing. The programs that they tailor to their clients (both on-​site and remotely) are full-​body engaging tune-​ups. You can even gain dietary advice and develop better habit in that arena as well. Just what the doctor ordered! It’s great to experience a routine where you can push yourself as hard as you like, or are capable of, all while the routines’ specifics evolve over time and continue to up your game.
I have been thoroughly impressed with the effectiveness of the Ligot Training System program. I would highly encourage you to give it a shot if you are looking for a dynamic and complete fitness plan that provides results that you will notice and be proud of.

I saw a post from LTS on facebook. It asked if you were tired, and not happy with your level of fitness. I wasn’t.
I am a fairly athletic guy, but am almost always injured in some way shape or form. I have a disc problem in the lower back, torn meniscus 2 yrs ago, several broken collar bones. I ski, mtn bike, dirt bikes, street/​track motorcycles etc. I have missed many sessions/​seasons with injuries. I’ve been through lots of PT, and rehab for stuff.
Needless to say, I’m very picky, and sometimes skeptical of various rehab, training techniques. I have a hard time with off the shelf workout routines (pilates, yoga, crossfit, powerlifting) because inevitably something tweaks out. and I loose momentum.
I started at LTS 9 months ago. In the first few weeks I could tell my progress would only be hampered by my own level of effort. Curt and Jared were able to assess all the problem areas and design custom workouts that blasted pretty much my whole body.
Once I got through the first 6 weeks, I was hooked.
To make things harder on the guys, I re-​tore my meniscus this summer playing softball. I missed maybe 3 workouts. Again, my entire series was changed and I was able to keep progressing while healing??! It took 6 – 8 weeks but the approach was to isolate an minimise any work to that area at first. then slowly add little strength exercises back in. I was back on a dirt bike 6 weeks after. I was (minus a new MRI) back up and running in 8 weeks.
Now at 10 months out I am down 25lbs and my core is stronger than it has been in the last 10 years! I can’t really get enough. Every time I think I get comfortable with a series of sets, they change it up.
I cannot recommend it highly enough. Go talk to curt, it will change your life.

Just starting out after finding their ad on facebook. Enjoying the stretching with full body exercise that gets my heart pumping. The one on one attention to make sure my forms are correct makes the big difference!

I went to Curt having tried EVERYTHING. I was stuck. Since going to him I’ve lost several inches, two sizes and am toned and lean. Curt’s system is awesome! I highly recommend it.

I am a Pilates instructor with good body control/​awareness and a slowly developing layer of fat. I went to Ligott Training Systems on the recommendation of a friend because I wanted someone to help me be accountable for my workouts and to keep me in good cardiovascular shape (since Pilates does not usually involve cardio) and help me get rid of my growing layer!
When I walked in I met Jared and the first thing he asked me to do was lunges. I had ACL reconstruction 10 years prior and lunges scared me. I have always had sporadic knee pain since the surgery (even after PT) and lunges were one thing that always brought on pain. He asked me to trust him and to just make sure to use good body mechanics. I listened… the first two lunges made my knee act up a little, but the more I moved, the better it felt, like I was oiling a rusty joint.
The movements we do work the muscles through their full ranges of motion, helping to strengthen them as they are meant to be used. I left every workout feeling energized and stronger than before I started and now, I am able to trust that my knee can handle anything I put it through. They trainers are great, the people are great and I am happy that my friend introduced me to such a great gem on Beacon Hill!

Getting older equals longer recovery time from injuries or even muscle recovery when working out. Curt Ligot has made that issue a myth to my fitness well being. His methods leave me waking up the next day without any aches or pains, neither in my muscles nor my joints (especially my injured areas). Without hesitation, I would recommend Ligot Training System to anyone at any age and in any fitness condition… you have a goal and he will get you there!

Jared helped to transform myself before I climbed Mt. Rainier a few years ago and I followed him to Ligot — driving from Sammamish to Beacon Hill to train with him. I wanted to get back into my clothes after having baby #2. I don’t like working out, but Jared has a way of making it not feel like work. The Ligot system was new to me, but the results were fantastic. After a few months, my legs looked better, leaner and longer and I had lost a lot of the baby weight. There are other trainers and other gyms, but Jared and Curt are the best in the business.

I can’t express how grateful I am that I was introduced to this program. A debilitating shoulder injury of 15 years: successfully rehabilitated. I’m stronger, faster, and more coordinated after six weeks than you could imagine after such a short time. As an EMT, I rely on my athleticism to keep myself and others safe. As a lady who likes big butts, I need a program that builds ass like no tomorrow. There’s also a strong sense of community among the members here. What I’m saying is, show up. You’ll get everything you need and more from the amazing trainers here.

Ligot training systems is by far one of the best facilities and training programs I have ever trained under. Curt’s program is fantastic and focuses on all elements of fitness, from injury prevention, increasing overall strength, as well as weight management. I cam to Curt with a torn hamstring that was affecting my daily life and my ability to train. Within three months I was back to full time training as a professional MMA fighter. I know without a doubt that without Curt, it would not have been possible. If you’re looking for a challenging program with world class instruction look no further.

I witnessed a friend transform his body over a couple of months and wondered what his ‘secret’ was… turns out he was a client of Curt Ligot.
I have always put effort into working out to stay in shape… running, hot yoga, pilates, barre, but I hit a plateau and was just maintaining my body weight. I was not meeting my fitness goals, getting stronger, losing weight or more toned anymore.
With Curt Ligot’s Training System, I have overcome the plateau and am watching my body become leaner, firmer, stronger and I have so much more energy.
His workouts are comprised of circuits that incorporate multiple muscles and flowing motions into each exercise. Lots of stretching, core work and high intensity cardio. The exercise technique is easy to learn and I find myself dripping sweat and just really getting a good, productive session in.
Ligot’s Training System is so good for my body. Within 6 weeks, I lost 10 pounds and 4 dress sizes, incredible results. I see Curt and/​or Jared twice a week. I also run a couple times a week and have been watching my diet, but Ligot’s method is definitely the game changer. Joining this gym has seriously taken my fitness to the next level. After a workout, I have so much energy and feel like my body is healthier now than when I was in my 20’s.
I could go on and on about this experience. I’m looking forward to reaching my fitness goals and I know I will reach them here!

Ligot Training has created a short but intense workout that focuses on increasing flexibility, endurance and core strength. You are not competing against anyone or timed so you can focus instead on proper form. There is no running, doing traditional free weights, or sitting on bike.
After just six sessions I have lost ten pounds and I have increased my flexibility.
The atmosphere is laid back, intimate and jovial. There tends to be only three our four people there at any given time and everyone is very supportive. The system works with all body types, fitness levels and especially works well with people who have been prone to injury.

WWCND… what would Chuck Norris do? he would work out at Ligot Training. It’s that good. I’ve been with this program for about a month now and I’ve seen and felt great results in that short amount of time. If you are looking for a no nonsense, high intensity, overall strength and conditioning type of workout this is where you get it. It’s pretty much the opposite of push-​ups, treadmills, and, pausing to adjust weights. These workouts will make you sore in muscles you didn’t know you had.
I recently moved up to the PNW for a job as a firefighter and was looking for a gym. I tried boxing gyms, cross fit gyms, personal trainers, but nothing felt right. After a shoulder injury, I wanted a great workout without compromising the injury further. That’s when I met Curt, we spoke about the injury and he has been able to keep me fit all while bullet proofing my shoulder and I’m in better shape than I could’ve imagined. If you’ve ever had an injury that you were worried would hinder your fitness come in and talk with their team.
The atmosphere here is second to none. Small groups that are very supportive of each other and a great sense of community. I’ve seen people with all kinds of different fitness levels and backgrounds in there and the workouts are customized to whichever level your body is at. Come check them out if you are tired of reading about fitness and want to do something about it!

I have been working out at Ligot Training for the past 6 weeks and have seen a big change in my overall fitness and health. With only 2 workouts a week I have dropped 15 lbs without changing my diet. Also we do no running, no treadmills and no bikes. Love it! Some of the movements are little different but they work!
In my former life I played college football and had several major shoulder injuries that have slowed me down from working out. I would always tweak my shoulders and it would kill my momentum. With Curt and Jared they have kept me safe and my shoulders happy. With their skill and patience I have been able to stay setback free and increase my upper body strength. My core and lower body strength has increased a lot as well.
I love getting my work in here. They know when to push and when to hold you back. Its a great environment and a great value.
Good people and great results!
If you are looking for a way to get strong and fit and want to stay healthy you have to give this a try.

Did a 6 week training program with Curt. He was awesome! He is fun to work out with, and I believe that he developed the workouts himself. It’s not like other places where the trainers just go through the motions. He always followed up after workouts to make sure my body was in the right place, before we moved on to different things which I thought was a nice touch. The things he has you do is functional type exercise that helps your body feel good through long workdays etc. So you probably won’t be doing bicep curls or bench presses when you work out with him. I will definitely go back!
