About
Cold Plunge & Sauna
This 24 Hour Fitness location offers both wet and dry sauna facilities for heat therapy and relaxation. Gym members specifically mention the availability of these saunas as a key feature. However, the steam room has been a source of cleanliness concerns, with one guest reporting they contracted a sinus infection after use and observed paper towels and water bottles left inside the room. The gym also features a lap pool, which some members use for contrast therapy, though its maintenance has been inconsistent. Members report the pool heater has been broken, leaving the water at a cold 72°F, which has significantly impacted their swimming routines.
Pricing
The gym is noted as an inexpensive option in downtown Seattle. Members mention that an annual membership paid upfront costs approximately $20 to $25 per month with no additional fees. The gym also offers a 3-day pass, though its availability for non-Washington residents has been inconsistent, and drop-in sessions are available for visitors.
Staff
Feedback on staff is mixed. Members highlight positive interactions with specific employees, such as Alex and Caleb, who provided welcoming guided tours and helpful information. Sabrina at the front desk is also noted for being incredibly sweet and helpful with inquiries. Conversely, other members report being ignored by management, specifically regarding unresolved maintenance requests for the pool heater.
Additional Amenities
The gym spans three levels with a large selection of equipment, including weights, treadmills, exercise machines, and a lap pool. It features eight racks, three benches, a turf area with a sled and plyometric boxes, and solid barbells and bumper plates. The facility provides free small lockers that do not require a personal lock, though there are frequent reports of theft from the wooden lockers, which are apparently easy to break into.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere is heavily influenced by crowd levels. The gym gets very crowded during peak hours from about 4 PM to 8 PM and before 9 AM on weekdays, which some members find detracts from the experience. Outside of these times, members note the gym is clean and well-organized, with weights put away.
