Olympic Athletic Club is truly one of the best gyms in all of Seattle. The entire facility is incredibly clean, the equipment is always well-maintained, and the atmosphere makes working out something I genuinely look forward to. The staff is consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful — you can really feel the sense of community here. Every visit has been a wonderful experience, and it’s rare to find a gym that combines great energy, cleanliness, and high-quality equipment all in one place. I’m so grateful for my time here and can’t recommend OAC enough!

The women's gym is actually pretty cool. It's in an auxiliary location and it's nice to have a weight lifting area that's free of big strong dudes. Call it insecurity but as a female using rather low weighted lifting equipment, it feels less intimidating. The renovation (Aug -sept 2025) was not an improvement unfortunately. The renovation was for the locker room. It's meh. The fixtures are not as good and already getting loose. And the loss of the private in-locker-room hot tub is a real loss. But there's a whole section quartered off that used to be a little private gym. Maybe they'll turn it into a cryotherapy area? That would be cool and modern. Anyway. A suggestion. It's just as well if it's used for the cleaning staff to have more space. Storage and cleaning staff often get cramped into small spaces so hopefully they've been able to get more room with the renovation.

Just tried out the Olympic athletic club pool hot tub and dry sauna was really comfortable and nice and kept well. Was here a year ago just about a year ago. I like the new updates.

Been a member for almost 4 years. It’s really transformed but the increase in annual membership fees also show it. Overall I think the changes are pretty good for the cost as it spreads the members across more rooms so it never feels crowded. Pros: front desk is always nice, organized social events to meet other members, so many classes via their own app where you can easily schedule or cancel, multiple workout studios, a nice pool, diversity in class instructors. The cons: scheduling private lane in the pool continues to be a nightmare. I’m assuming it’s because regulars have gamed the system on Monday mornings, and manage to book all the same slots each day of the week. They also recently got rid of the women’s hot tub. The soaps, shampoos, conditioners and hair dryers are of low quality. Often times, some areas have too many dust bunnies which really flares up my allergies. I also don’t really understand dedicating an entire building to a women’s gym. If they decided to do women’s classes/events in there, that would be appreciated.

Came here today on a guest pass. I was planning on signing up for a membership after today’s visit. Unfortunately, there are quite a few aspects that need improving before I’d do so. Positives: -The two staff members working at reception were very friendly and helpful. -I loved the layout of the weights areas with semi-private “alcoves” to work out in. -The old school, industrial architecture and exposed brick is very cool. -The whole facility is very spacious and didn’t feel crowded at all despite quite a few people being there. Areas for improvement: -The men’s sauna (one of the main reasons I’d want to join) was barely warm due to the poorly installed glass door that has a large gap. A few members in there said they had complained about it, but it still hadn’t been fixed. -The sauna had a clump of disgusting hair on the floor; a member mentioned it had been there for multiple days. -The steam room was out of service. Talking to members, apparently it’s been like this for over a month due to a malfunctioning component. -The general cleanliness of the main men’s locker room wasn’t great. Dirty floor, showers, etc. If management addresses these issues, I would love to become a member and update this to a more positive review.
