Two pools with multiple arthritis exercise classes every week. Great instructors and facilities. No one is made to feel inadequate due to their size, abilities or fitness wear. Perfect for me.
Description of Work: Needed to find a health club with a pool and a focus on exercise for arthritis.

Galter Life Center is more than a gym -- it is a wonderful, supportive community. They have excellent fitness equipment, a track, two pools, several spa baths and many, many group classes included in the monthly fee. They also have a number of additional specialty programs that are discounted to members or that non-members can purchase. GLC attracts people of all walks of life and a wide range of ages. The locker rooms are recently updated, have plenty of space and all the amenities that you'd look for. They have number locks, so you don't need your own lock. They also have a fabulous KidsCenter where kids are watched for up to 3 hours for a very reasonable fee. And, there is parking lot for members that usually has spots open. Though the monthly membership fee is on the higher end, the quality of experience surpasses any other and quot;regularand quot; gym or YMCA gym I have belonged to. I highly recommend Galter Life Center, especially if you are looking for weight loss support or other specific, health-oriented help.
Description of Work: I recently joined Galter Life Center after going through several of their health and fitness programs a few years ago.

It is extremely clean, they have competent people, and they are very knowledgeable. They have a huge variety of classes and they have two huge swimming pools. They attend from very young to elderly. They deal with issues about the heart because they are with the hospital. The hours are terrific. They are a little pricey on the fees. They have a membership fee and then a monthly fee. They can be hard to get a hold of, because they are so busy.
Description of Work: Galter Life Center is attached to Swedish Hospital is where I go for fitness.

The facility is great. The equipment is new and the facility is large. There was always plenty of equipment available to use. The locker rooms were clean and were redone while I was a member. They offer lots of classes at many different times throughout the day and week.

I am very impressed with Galter. They have a great selection of classes at times that are convenient. The instructors are great, the people that work there are welcoming and friendly. There has never been a problem in finding a machine available or with any other service. It is less expensive than the city locations I have been going to and I find their policies much more customer-friendly.
Description of Work: I have been looking for a work-out center with good classes that is located closer to my home. I was recently a member at several downtown clubs and found them expensive and the commute time-consuming.

I love this gym. It's friendly, relaxed, diverse, and comfortable for all ages, sizes and fitness levels. I never have trouble getting onto the machines. I've lived in several different cities, and this is definitely my favorite gym because of its inclusiveness and relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
Description of Work: I have a membership punch card at this gym - perfect if you go once or twice a week. I usually use weights, the track, and various cardio machines.

The best thing about it is that it is affiliated with the hospital, so there are medical personnel there. That makes me feel very comfortable and secure. It is very clean, well designed and has good available light. It has a wide variety of machines and the staff is there to help you, not just be pretty!
Description of Work: I go here every other day for continued exercise and upkeep after originally going to lower my blood pressure. Price is per month. There are free classes, but it costs more if you want a personal trainer.

I love this place! I have never been an exerciser and have lots of weight to lose, but I feel comfortable here. I started just taking the aqua classes 5-6 days a week. They offer them daily. Then I utilized the FREE fitness evaluation sessions to have a personal trainer work with me on machines, so now I do aerobic machines + upper and lower body strength stuff. They have lots of group classes; I've tried a couple of those as well. The staff here is so incredibly NICE and professional; they really try to get to know the members. I also have had acupuncture here. What I like best is the cross section of members of all ages, sizes, ethnicities and abilities. All are welcome. They believe they can help everyone get fitter, no matter where you are. This is definitely not a meet-market type of place. Since it is affiliated with the hospital, the emphasis is all on health. The place is very clean; there are lots of windows which makes it bright and cheery.
Description of Work: I joined Galter Life Center, affiliated with Swedish Covenant Hospital, about 3 months ago.

If it was closer to my house I would have joined, but the temporary membership was nice. Very expensive for what I wanted (pool only), but good, responsive staff and towels are provided.
Description of Work: Joined on a temporary basis over the summer for swimming. Beautiful gym, lots of great windows. Very multicultural friendly environment.

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GYMS I'VE EVER BELONGED TO. IT IS CLEAN, RARELY CROWDED, AND HAS EVERYTHING YOU COULD WANT IN A FITNESS CENTER - FREE CLASSES, POOLS, STEAM ROOMS, HOT TUBS, CARDIO EQUIPMENT, FREE WEIGHTS AND MACHINES, TRAINERS, FRIENDLY SERVICE ETC. SOME OF ITS WEIGHT MACHINES ARE A LITTLE BIT OUTDATED, BUT THAT IS REALLY MY ONLY COMPLAINT.
