The
Vault Fitness
808 Second Ave | ph: (206) 224.9000
Named as one of the top ten health clubs in America by Fitness Magazine, The Vault has also been featured in Vogue, Shape,
and the Wall Street Journal. Located in a renovated turn-of-the-century bank building, the club's architecture and ambience is as inspiring
as its fitness and training options. The Vault offers a full menu of classes, personal training, tanning, massage therapy, spa services, and
even has it's own café, The Farmer's Table. The opportunity to enjoy the club's 3,500-gallon whirlpool (complete with a dramatic waterfall)
housed in the original bank vault is, in itself, worth the price of membership! |

Olympic
Athletic Club
5301 Leary Ave. NW [ Ballard ] | ph: (206) 789-5010
Located in an 1890s brick building that once held a speakeasy and Ballard's first post office, the Olympic Athletic Club's quaint
atmosphere differs from the neon encrusted spaces that have come to represent today's fitness scene. Those seeking a friendly, down-to-earth
place to workout will find nothing better. In fact, the club is so intent about this that its own policy states, "We're not a meat market
or a fashion show." What you will find here is a 24 hour fitness facility that offers all the equipment that other gyms have, plus court
sports, aerobics, acupuncture, massage, karate; a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool; classes for seniors and pregnant women, and seminars by
visiting healthcare professionals. Although it isn't flashy, Olympic Athletic Club lacks nothing. |
