I’ve been working out at Bellingham Fitness for almost 2 months now and I really enjoy it. The atmosphere is nice and open plus there’s great amenities like the sauna and tanning. Plus the upcoming studios are also a great amenity! The day or two after becoming a member I joined the 6 week challenge. I did the morning classes with Mitch (who is a great trainer!) 3 days a week for those 6 weeks plus the off day workouts. I am so happy that I accomplished my goal to lose 5% body fat! The challenge has already impacted my life greatly and I am so thankful for the investment I made for myself. Todd is great and you can tell he cares about the challengers success during and after the challenge. All staff here is kind and inviting, I would recommend Bellingham Fitness!

I've been trying to cancel my membership for over 2 years now, do not go here. While the gym and the services they provide are not terrible, the extent to which I've tried to, reasonably, cancel my membership has cost me hundreds. From day one I've been lied to about my membership and, at this point, have been trying to cancel my membership for over 2 years. Not only had I been lied to about elements of my gym contract, I never asked, tried, or implied to continue my gym services past it's year long contractual end date. It's been YEARS now, I've switched gyms, and I'm still paying this parasitic company. The staff may be nice and the equipment may be okay, but they're interested in your dollar and nothing more. Don't go here. Update: finally cancelled. I know my experience is not universal and a lot of the staff are genuinely great, but I still can't recommend this gym to anyone. 2/5 stars

Thanks for the reply Todd - I've edited the review, it's all good. I appreciate you addressing it.

Prior to joining Bellingham Fitness, I had been a member of another club for over 20 years. The first thing I noticed when I arrived was the welcoming staff, especially David and Amber. The next positive impression was the cleanliness and a very large selection of equipment. That's all great but let me get back to staff. David is always ready to help and Amber is always welcoming and personal with a great sense of humor. People like Amber give the gym a welcoming personality. It was hard to leave my old gym due to the relationships I had developed over the years. Within about 4-6 weeks I felt totally at home at Bellingham Fitness.

I’m sure if there is too much weight on the cardio machines, it will cause them to malfunction and those machines cost a lot more then your bars so to be safe I would recommend you set a weight limit on those machines just like you do the bars. Also, I would bet that if too many heavy set people sat on your benches (if you have them) they would probably break too so you may want to make a ( 1 heavy set person at a time on benches ) post as well. Do you see how ridiculous this sounds?

I’ve been a member at numerous Bellingham gyms and ultimately landed here at Bham Fitness. The staff is always super nice and it lacks the gym BRO vibe that other spots have (I’m looking at you Fit Evo). They provide a spray bottle and towel for everyone to wipe down the equipment they use which makes it feel very clean. And it’s not near as busy as some of the cheaper gyms. There’s actually places to park. Go figure. The sauna, steam room and hot tub are cherries on top. Note: they just did a massive expansion with pickleball courts, hot yoga and spin classes which is rad. Love this place.

You people are too cruel, the owner was very polite and apologetic when explaining that he didn’t feel comfortable with people powerlifting in his establishment. It could be because of liability, equipment or some other issue; however again he was very polite and even offered a refund, please leave them alone!

Scott and the team at Bellingham fitness were so welcoming and helpful showing me around this exceptional gym. Great amounts of cardio, free weights, and machines for all fitness level from beginner to advanced. A lot of expansion projects coming soon to the gym too for even more activities and things to do with a membership.

I love this gym! It’s usually quiet and hardly ever gets too full. The members are super respectful of each other, and the weight section is not just exclusively power-lifting men. I love the power pump class, and can’t believe that it is included in the price of the membership! Going twice a week to that alone is worth the membership fee. Huge shoutout to Scott, one of the owners. He’s always so friendly and chatty, and today literally helped me dig through the trash to find something!

Look - If you want a reliable place to work out morning, day, or evening - Bellingham Fitness is the place. You get all the same benefits the other "average joe" gyms offer, but this place is actually sincere and authentic to the mission. The equipment is in great shape, the free weights are plentiful, and there is plenty of room for everyone. . . . . even during the busy times. Not only that, they are prepping to open another half of the gym that will more than double its capacity and class offerings. I cannot wait for the cycling, yoga, and other classes that are coming. . . . stupid Covid seems to have delayed the opening but it is coming soon. Honestly, this place is the best overall gym in Bellingham. The staff is amazing. The place is always clean (and they hold the members to account as well!) and the owners are completely down to earth and always accessible. I really can't say much more - great place, great people, and a great workout. . . . . and even more to come!

Scott and staff member were over the top hospitable. The gym had exactly what’s needed to get built or toned with any style workout you may be seeking. Highly recommended spot.

If you read everything online, they made a mistake asking a lifter to leave after they’ve had issues with bars bending. They were nice about it, refunded his money and followed up with MORE apologies. People who have never been are giving them 1 star reviews out of frustration when they have nothing to do with it. Here is a 5 star for being kind to the guy after the fact.

I recently did the 6 week challenge at Bellingham Fitness. I could not have reached my fitness goals without the support of the staff and owner. This gym is truly a community. It is the only gym I have ever felt comfortable in and supported in my goals

Will be cancelling my membership ASAP. Everything about this place screams scam. It is clear that the gentleman in charge of memberships studied how to take advantage of people before he began working here. He is rude, aggressive, and doesn't take no for an answer. If he wasn't related to the owner I'm sure the dozens of complaints against him would have been sufficient for termination. The gym itself is fine, but the predatory tactics, aggressive marketing, and the fact that everything about the finances of this please scream "SCAM" has ensured that none of my friends or I will be returning here until he (and their enrollment system) is replaced with something designed for service...not trick hard working people out of their money. I want a place that is safe to work out, but this guy (David?) patrols the doorways and is constantly making laps around the gym trying to take advantage of seniors like myself by suckering them into a mess of paperwork and pricing models. The contracts and finances are hidden in an array of intentionally confusing wording and lots of hidden fees, crossed out numbers, and synonyms designed to baffle you so you'll listen to the sales pitch David has worked so hard to rehearse. Tried talking to someone about this several times, but the big guy sits at the top of the food chain to intercept any complaints before they make their way up the ladder. There are plenty of gyms in our city with great equipment and a sauna. But there is only one gym in our city with great equipment, a sauna, and David. We'll be cancelling our membership ASAP-- but I imagine we'll need to hire a lawyer to do so.

I just witnessed the most disgusting display of customer service in my life! How do you kick someone out of the gym for powerlifting??? Did you not notice the size and muscles on that guy? Did you think he was going to do cardio only??? How ridiculous!! Definitely wouldn’t recommend this gym to anyone!! Please avoid and go to a gym with better customer service!

This is to help counter what all the Tiktok people with 1 stars are doing. You handled the powerlifting thing respectfully and offered a refund, they have no reason to spam you with 1 star reviews.

Love this place ! Just moved to the area . Staff are friendly and attentive - I rarely enter or leave without an employee saying hello or goodbye . Sauna/steam are always clean and operational. Members are very friendly and courteous. Great culture at this gym.

My wife started going here for the Zumba classes a year and a half ago, she raves about Natasha & Adrianne. She brought me over here from Team Fitness and I really like this place. Very clean environment, people are respectful and the equipment is great. David and Amber are nice to deal with.

This gym is great! I've been a member since January '22 and I love it. It's always clean and inviting, the staff is friendly, the vibes are great for all levels of gym goers. Best gym in Bellingham!

Super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Lots of different equipment, classes, and ways to train. Huge space. Sauna, Tub, Steam Room, and Lockers are all cleanly and well kept. Affordable monthly rates. What more could you ask for, this place has it all. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get in shape.

I love the availability of different equipment Bellingham Fitness has and I strongly appreciate how Scott welcomed both me and my toddler twins in. The daycare is great and I love how I was able to keep my membership after needing a break for personal reasons with an incredibly small fee. I definitely noticed a change in my body and the gym boosted my motivation to better myself so I’m very glad I came here and that I’m a member here.

Great experience. Highly recommend at least trying the one day pass to see if it is for you. Workers are very nice and not pushy. They take the time to show you the gym and amenities while still letting you go on your own to workout. Everything was clean and in great shape. Best gym I've been to in Bellingham by a wide margin.

I enjoyed my time at the gym. Good facilities and good location. However, I purchased a student agreement for the Summer at a reasonable price for three months, with the understanding it was an upfront payment and when I returned to School that would be the end of it. Instead, they simply kept charging me TWICE per month because I didn't cancel what I believed to be a summer student deal and not a normal membership. I was charged nearly $200 by the time I noticed, and was refused a refund. I am very disappointed in the policy that allowed this to occur, and it stains any positive view I might have held of the gym.

A super great place to work out. Friendly staff and lots of space to work out. I did the fitness challenge they offer and was a little skeptical at first, but 6 weeks later I’ve lost almost 22lbs and about 4% body fat. The instructors they have for this are amazing and I would highly recommend if you’re looking to kickstart your weight loss journey or you’ve hit a plateau!

Hands down the best gym in Bellingham/Whatcom County. Has every equipment you would need to get your work out in and a lot of them as well. Also the owners and staff are phenomenal! They 100% take pride into what they do. I have been coming here for almost a year now and never once I have ever had a issue.

I’ve been a member of Bellingham Fitness for several years. I believe it’s one of the best gyms in Bellingham.The staff is knowledgeable, helpful and welcoming. The variety and quality of the equipment is outstanding. I always look forward to my workouts there.

Bellingham Fitness is a very nice gym. I enjoy working out there and I wouldn't leave for any other gym. The staff is very friendly and the gym is very clean. If you enjoy working out you will enjoy working out there.

Wow. Bellingham Fitness was incredible. My significant other and I were in town for the holidays and needed a temporarily gym for the week. Needless to say, Bellingham Fitness delivered. David and the staff in the front were phenomenal human beings and were very thorough, helpful and patient with us when we signed up. A day pass was $15 and a 7-day week pass came out to be $43.52 after fees and tax. The facilities at Bellingham Fitness were clean, the lockers were modern and the space was huge. We did not have any issues finding a place to park, the staff was polite, helpful and courteous and we never once had any issues finding a machine to use. We're a few days into our pass and we're definitely fans. We'll be coming back to Bellingham Fitness again!

Bellingham fitness is an awesome gym! Clean facility, lots of space and equipment to use even when it’s “busy.” I train three days a week with Ari. He is a fantastic trainer. He makes me personalized workouts and pushes me harder every week to help me reach my goals. Just the place I needed to get my confidence back in the gym!

Bellingham fitness was a great find, love to see old cybex equipment like the leg press and hack squat they have here. Some other cool pieces of equipment👍🏼 Hammer strength “gripper”

Joined Bellingham Fitness after knee surgery. Got a great tour, easy sign up. Also signed up for a personal trainer. Mitch Deans really helped me get back into the fitness routine (gently!) to further my fitness goals and recovery. Very pleased!

I’ve been a member for several years, and I see the owners at the gym everyday, working along side with their employees. They are constantly upgrading and maintaining the building, making it better and better. Over the years, they have improved the pressure of the men’s room showers, added more fans to the work out area, and have done other small upgrades. I was happy to see added (and upgraded) bicycle parking in front of the building today (10/17/23). I recommend this gym to friends and family all the time. Sauna and steam room is always clean, members and staff are friendly.

My wife and I have been going to Bellingham Fitness for 20 years! The remodel and upgrades they have done are fantastic ! It is very clean and organized . The staff are professional and have a great attitude . Amber,Dave ,Scott and Todd are welcoming. Bellingham fitness is doing a great job.

The pandemic affected me differently because my friends in NYC were dying or very sick. I was sent home to work and I succumbed to the baking sour dough bread trend, but I don't do well with carbs. I asked my friend if she would do a juice fast, or anything with me and she said, "The only thing that worked for me long term was to join the 6 Week Fitness Challenge at Bellingham Fitness." I decided to believe her and I made an investment in myself. Not only was she right but Todd made sure I made my goal weight. Making a goal weight and changing your life is just a stepping stone. I enrolled my bonus daughter McKenna to help keep me in the gym. I have had so much support from my boot camp morning instructor Simon! I have tried new classes just for fun - like Zumba! We missed our boot camp commitment this morning BUT will do another amazing class challenge with weights tomorrow that promises to burn 540 calories. The cleaning regiment is perfect, the masks are doable until they are gone, the environment is using this time to improve the machines and options for all of us when the pandemic is over....and it will be over. I am building my confidence to return to work, and deal with people again...and this was my best step forward! Thank you Todd and all of your wonderful support staff to give me inspiration to bring dreams to life.

Wonderful equipment pared with an even better staff puts Bellingham fitness at the top of the list for local gyms. There constantly putting money back into the Business to keep the gym fresh and it really shows! Major renovations and additions have just been completed and the new facilities are incredible.

This is my first week at Bellingham fitness and I couldn't have wished for a more welcoming experience. You can simply the feel the dedication that the owners have to create a harmonious, clean, and thorough workout environment. I was very impressed at the amount of new equipment and amenities. There are a surprising number of different workout areas, including a huge open wooden floor space for stretching and classes. Can't wait for their sauna and steam room to open up at the end of June! Thanks Bellingham Fitness for creating such a beautiful and harmonious space for improving physical health and well being.

The staff at Bellingham Fitness is friendly. They demonstrate good customer service skills. Two brothers manage the gym, and one can be a bit pushy sometimes. Recently I had a conversation with one of them regarding an issue that arose with one of the brothers, the short, darker-skinned olive-complected one. The shorter brother I complained about used profane language when communicating with me regarding a subject. I hated being this guy but, I had to remind the brother I complained to that I was a local of Whatcom County and born and raised in a white upper-middle-class family. In addition, I work for the state of Washington and graduated from WWU. I understand that I come from a very privileged background, and my review may sound snobby, but I would never use profane language toward anyone. In my line of work, that is a violation of policy that could lead to termination. After speaking to the level-headed brother, my complaint was resolved. He was super professional and apologetic. Again, the front-end staff is friendly, professional, and courteous. I will circle back in a few months to update my review.

I was approached a few times because I was holding on to the treadmills the wrong way while running. I was let out of my contract but yet I’m still being charged. As a member you also pay an annual fee to update new equipment so I’m not sure why they are such sticklers with members not touching weights, treadmills or machines “properly”. The gym felt weird tbh

Best Gym in the area , family owned and run. They Just completed a great renovation which gives it a warm and welcoming feel with great new equipment.

watched a viral video of a powerlifter get kicked out of this gym 😂 Planet Fitness wouldnt even do that owner keeps copying and pasting "our bars bend too easily.".... Investing into a power lifting bar or 2 might save the gyms reputation. But sounds like they dont care too much lol. Good luck

Great group here at the helm. Love the size of this place and the variety of options available. Lots of well maintained machines if that's your thing, or free weights and equipment for heavier lifters. A good mix of classes available with membership too. Definitely recommend the six week training camp if you really want to get into a routine or jump start your goals, Jeff, was a great trainer and very attentive. Overall, this is a great space, with ample facilities, and an awesome, upbeat staff.

I absolutely love this gym. Best one I've ever been a member of. They have great staff and the owners are genuinely good people who are always here to help. Amongst all the amazing equipment, they have a steam sauna, hot tub, tanning beds, and regular sauna. They are always trying to improve member benefits and fix issues ASAP.

Everything is perfect here! Scott is so friendly :) awesome gym with reasonable price!!

Great gym to go to! Filled with all equipment you would need for a workout and the staff are helpful. I did the 6 week challenge and was able to lose more than 25 lbs, so check that out if you want to lose weight!

This is the best gym in Bellingham. The staff as well as the owner, Scott, are welcoming and professional. The facility is spacious and clean. People are respectful here and there is just a generally good vibe in the atmosphere. As I said- BEST GYM IN BELLINGHAM!

Great gym! Not a bodybuilding/powerlifting gym, but a fitness gym! It's in the name, get fit! Very nice place! 😎👍

Awesome gym. Fair price, excellent group classes, steam room, sauna, hot tub, and nice locker rooms. Very clean and they're following covid protocols well. I completed the 6 week challenge and was super pleased with the support I got from the class instructors, personal trainers, and owners. I met the goal even though I was skeptical in the beginning! I'm excited to keep going!

Awesome gym, staff are very kind, and helpful. COVID 19 precautions are strictly in place so that everyone can work out safely. Members also comply with safety so that we can keep the gym open. Steam sauna, jacuzzi, and hot sauna are bonuses!! Everything is well kept and clean all the time. Great place to workout, relax, and detox mind and body!

A bit late, but I travelled to Bellingham over thanksgiving break to visit some family that I hadn't seen in years, and I was looking for a gym to go to while I was in town. I got in touch with the owner Scott who provided me with a weeklong pass and I absolutely LOVED this gym. The equipment was in great condition, and they had several machines which I've never seen before that were great to use. Huge free weight section and plenty of benches to use! Would absolutely recommend this gym to any type of gym-goer.

Bellingham fitness is one of the best gyms I've ever stepped foot in. Being 24 and having lifted my whole life, bellingham fitness meets all of my elite fitness needs. There is enough space, machines, and equipment where I never see people waiting for a spot. I'm very excited for there new expansion, offering hit yoga, bar 3, pickle ball and more. All of this at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend.

This is by far the best gym I've been to, and I've been to a lot. I have been to most in Bellingham, and this is the best. The people are extremely nice and courteous as others have mentioned, and the facilities are as clean as can be. It's a pretty good sized gym, (but not too big like the ones with accident-prone entrances that you can't get in and out of; no names mentioned) - and far from too small. This place hands down has the best Dry-heated saunas, steam saunas, and hot tub... all of them huge! I don't know about the woman's, but the men's locker room is gorgeous, large, and fully remodeled with fancy free easy-lock lockers made of wood for that country club feel. Very nice brand new covid friendly fully partitioned showers, toilets, the works,you name it. I am very pleased. Read a previous reviewer calling people "Bots" just because they like this place, how rude. The guy also mentioned that this place is a scam and screws you over because you have to cancel in person. That is not true, all you have to do is call them. Also when you sign the very easy to understand bold in your face agreement, they make it very clear that they Auto charge you monthly, and if you don't want to be Auto charged call them and tell them that you want a different plan. Being nasty for no reason and trying to ruin a business is not cool just because you have no common sense. This place is 5+ stars all the way. When I was walking out tonight I saw them building a brand new beautiful day care facility for parents on the go, they got it together! I like to see a gym that is constantly investing and making the facilities better, this place does!

I highly recommend this gym. My family previously worked out at the YMCA downtown. It was OK but didn’t quite have the vibe we were looking for. I am 46 years old, very into fitness and have been a member at many different gyms from high end spa gyms to a gym ran by bodybuilders and a strong man. We have checked out quite a few gyms here in Bellingham and found Bellingham fitness to be the best fit. We feel like for the amenities it is very affordable. It is a mix of college age students to middle-age folks, everybody mind their own business and focused on fitness. I feel safe sending my 15-year-old daughter here to train on around because it is enough of a family atmosphere that they watch out for her. But it’s still hard-core enough so that all of the equipment you need is there, all the free weights and cardio you could ask for. We do a lot of work in the fitness room which is open to anyone. We find it very relaxing for yoga and stretching as well as resistance band and medicine ball training. The steam room and hot tub are always kept clean, the whole facility is always spotless thanks to careful attention from the owners who are Bellingham locals. Check this place out after you’ve checked the cheap and crowded spots and the overpriced spots without as much equipment. Good luck finding your next gym home!

One of the best gyms I’ve been to. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, as well as all the other members that I’ve interacted with. It has a great community vibe. Facilities are nice, and I especially appreciate that they have a sauna and steam room. Great gym!
