★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Going to Lifting Legacy was the best part of a four month business trip I recently took to Seattle. When I got there I had an exercise routine, I just needed a gym. All I wanted was a squat rack and to be left alone to use it.The facility is good: clean, well cared for, efficiently laid out, and the equipment is good to go. As I got to know Alexy, Daniel, and Galen I became impressed with the depth of their knowledge about exercise, nutrition, and fitness.As a treat for myself I took a personal training session with each of them. I would still be taking personal training sessions with them if the contract that took me to Seattle hadn't been called off, forcing me to go home back east.Alexy, Daniel, and Galen have different styles of working out, specific interests in training, and methods of teaching. Plus, they're all great motivators. Whether technical tips on exercise, or general health advice and inspiration is what you need, they'll be able to provide it.They each taught me better techniques for exercises that I thought I knew well. Then they showed me additional exercises that complimented what I was already doing, and improved my previous routine. I'm very glad that I joined the gym and met all of them. I would still be going there if I lived anywhere close, and wish them all the best of luck in the future.

March 19 · Amanda TaoThe Lifting Legacy in Lower Queen Anne is an amazing fitness community that has had a huge positive impact on my health and wellness. When I moved to Queen Anne, I was looking for a gym and saw the intro specials and great reviews about the gym on their website. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with wide smiles and cheer, making it clear that this was more than just a gym—it was a supportive and uplifting community.After just nine months of training here, I’m noticeably fitter, stronger, and more confident in my workouts. Year over year, I’ve gained lean mass by working out with my trainer, Alexy, who has been instrumental in my progress—not just physically but also in my mindset toward nutrition. Alexy helped me build a better relationship with carbs, which has been a game-changer for my energy levels and overall performance. When I first joined, my deadlift PR was just 95 pounds. By December, I hit an unbelievable new PR of 295 pounds! The strength gains I’ve made in such a short time are a testament to the expertise, programming, and encouragement from Alexy.What truly sets The Lifting Legacy apart is the incredible knowledge and support from both Alexy and Dan. The fitness industry can be riddled with myths and misinformation, but they make it their mission to help you bust those myths and give you the truth backed by science and experience. They provide expert guidance and encouragement every step of the way, helping you build a strong foundation and approach fitness in a way that truly works. One thing that has stuck with me is Alexy’s motto: “Failure is feedback.” This mindset shift has pushed me to embrace challenges and use setbacks as learning opportunities rather than roadblocks. Working with Alexy has also made me more consistent in going to the gym, something I struggled with in the past. Now, showing up feels like second nature, and I can confidently say I have never left a workout at The Lifting Legacy feeling unhappy.One of the things I appreciate most about this gym is that they don’t just hand out a standard workout plan. They take the time to understand where you’ve come from—your background, past injuries, and personal goals—and train you accordingly. The level of personalization and care they put into each program makes a huge difference in both progress and injury prevention.Beyond the training, The Lifting Legacy fosters an amazing community. They host fantastic events that bring people together, making it easy to connect with others who are also working toward their fitness goals. It’s more than just a gym—it’s a place where you feel supported, motivated, and part of something bigger. If you're looking for a gym that will challenge you, educate you, and welcome you with big smiles and even bigger encouragement, I can't recommend The Lifting Legacy enough!So if you're looking to build consistency, community or a challenge, YOU MUST VISIT THE LIFTING LEGACY!!!Edit - it’s been over a year now since I started training here and I want to callout how clean this place is. The owners clean every nook of the place. It is always refreshing to workout without locking eyes with a spider in the corner judging your form.
July 09 · Vaishnavi MI can’t recommend this gym enough! One of the main reasons I joined was seeing co-owner Daniel constantly cleaning and maintaining the equipment—it really showed how much they care about the space and their members. Everything is always in great shape, well-lubricated, and ready to use.Even though it’s a smaller gym, they’ve got all the essentials: bands, jump ropes, box jump boxes, and plenty more. You never feel like you’re missing anything. On top of that, both co-owners/trainers are awesome people—super welcoming, motivating, and just great to be around.If you’re looking for a clean, well-maintained gym with a positive atmosphere, this is the place!
August 24 · EliI’ve been training with Galen for a while now, and I can confidently say she’s one of the best out there. She’s incredibly knowledgeable and tailors each session specifically to my needs and goals. Since I started working with her, I’ve become more consistent with my workouts and have seen real progress.She doesn’t just focus on the workout but also keeps a close check on my diet, offering helpful suggestions for high-protein, healthier alternatives. It’s like having a personal coach both in and out of the gym.The gym itself is always clean and welcoming, with a really friendly environment that keeps me motivated to show up. I highly recommend Galen to anyone looking for a dedicated and results-driven trainer!
