User Reviews of Rain Fitness

An A club from top to bottom!

I really want to echo what LisaL said in here review...How are you going to sign a contract and not then get angry about it's terms? I have been a member at Rain for years and have never had any of these...

2nd Favorite Gym, after the New Rain

The facilities, staff and the view of Elliott Bay make the original Rain Fitness on Western Avenue the best deal in town for health clubs. I only say it's my second favorite because I like the new one of 9th...

Beware of Management, Impossible to Cancel!

I agree with many of the other reviewers who recommend reading ALL of the reviews. Rain has its perks, but for me, the experience was completely ruined by really unprofessional management. The equipment is...

Ownership hard up for $42/month! Blames not being able to easily let members cancel on WA state laws?!

This gym is TOTALLY OVERRATED! It might be one of the nicer of the low-end gyms in Seattle (in comparison to Pure Fitness, Xtreme Fitness, LA Fitness, or 24 Gyms), but that certainly is not saying much. Their...

Terrible customer service

The management at Rain Fitness is so poor I cannot recommend this gym. Most of my friends are cancelling because of hassles with management. I was a member for 2 years, and the trainers and instructors are all...

Great Gym & Friendly Staff - YES ... High Pressure Sales - ABSOLUTELY NOT

When I moved to Seattle last summer finding a new gym was top priority. I checked out a lot and tried out a few as a guest, one of which was rain. The staff was friendly and made me feel welcome. I tried rain...

Read all the reviews, the bad ones are valid

This is the worst gym I've ever tried to quit. I'm not being petty, unless you think having money taken from you as petty, and I'm not an employee. ex or current. Joining this gym is like a trapshoot,...

Do not join this gym!

I have had the worst experience with Rain Fitness. If you can avoid signing a contract with them, I would. They make it extremely difficult to get out of a contract in the case that you are moving. The staff...

No info on website

I have called to see what the membership dues are since there is no information on the website. I was told that "you have to come in for a tour and we can sit down to discuss your membership". That sounds like...

Beware of the unintelligent writing reviews!

I have been a member of Rain fitness for two years and I am shocked by the lack of common sense people have that write these petty complaints. I, along with everyone I know who also belongs, have nothing but...

The staff lacks integrity

I have been a member of Rain for the last 18 months and have gone through literally half a dozen trainers. Not by my own choosing, but because they keep keep quitting due to the poor management there. When I...

Excellent personable service, clean and well maintained facility, all at a reasonable price.

Come rain or shine - you'll find me at the gym

Very hip gym - the warehouse/loft style reminds me of my dot-com days, I love the bright open spaces and the view of Puget Sound & the park. It really is inspiring to go work-out there. The entire staff knows...

I loved Rain, but then I moved and had to cancel my membership. After 3 months of fighting, I'm still paying my dues, and living almost 25 miles away! I referred 4 friends to that gym, and yet they still treat...

User Review

Tried to check this place out, but "only the owner can show you around" and he wasn't there. There are too many gyms in Seattle to put up with this kind of crappy service-- before they even get your money!
