I've been training at the Bellevue gym 2x each week since early 2025. I used to have a "wonky" knee that bothered me occasionally (while hiking, especially going down) -- I realized yesterday at the gym that I haven't even thought about my "bad" knee in a very long time, and I don't even remember which knee was "bad"!

Thanks, Sheila! We love hearing this. It’s pretty great when you realize something that used to bother you hasn’t even crossed your mind in a long time. We'll keep building that strength!
bStrong is a great place to get into strength training. I started with little experience and all the trainers are so welcoming and helpful. No gym bro vibes or weird gym culture, just people who care about fitness and will help you along your journey. Even with group training, the experience remains very personal and you will get excellent attention and help!

Thanks, Mindy! It's been fun seeing all your progress. We appreciate the kind words about our coaches and community, and we're excited to see what the future brings :)
The best environment! Great facility with top quality equipment. Even better is the entire team of trainers and the owners themselves are extremely friendly, welcoming and supportive. It's a refreshing feeling to find your "gym" and that's what you'll find at B Strong!

Thanks so much, Christina. “Finding your gym” is exactly what we hope people feel. We’ll pass your kind words along to our Bellevue team. We’re glad to have you back in here!
The team at bStrong is so supportive and caring that I am motivated to go to the gym and love going. My group in the morning makes my day brighter.

Thank you so much Gina! The morning crew has a special energy and you're a big part of that. It's been great having you as a part of our Bellevue community. See you soon!
Had a great experience at BStrong Bellevue. All the coaches I met were kind, professional, and very patient. As a complete beginner with zero experience, I really appreciated how welcoming and supportive everyone was.
Special shoutout to Tru — he took the time to teach me the right way to do each exercise, corrected my form, and made sure I felt comfortable / confident throughout the session. He is awesome 👍

Chi-Ting, thank you for the awesome review and for trusting us as a beginner. I’m really glad the team helped you feel welcome and supported from day one. And we’ll make sure Tru sees the shoutout - he’s great at slowing things down, cleaning up form, and making it feel doable. Can’t wait to see you in again soon!
bStrong has a fantastic program to work out different muscles and different movement ranges over the days and weeks. The instructors are helpful, professional, and friendly at every moment. It’s been great for keeping a workout rhythm going!

2025 Review
I will caveat this by saying I have since left the US and have not been a member for at least 3 years. However I do believe in givbing credit where its due. I have been recently having muscoskeletal issues due to flat feet which I have had my whole life. During my physiotherapy appointments I just realised that its not that the issues suddenly started, but during my time in the US as a member of Bstrong the issues that should have inevitably happened where actively prevented by my regular classes at Bstrong. Without me even realizing it. At the time my main motivation was to lose weight but clearly the programming at Bstrong is so intentionally devised for overall wellness that it prevented complications of fallen archs for me without even realising it. Its unfortunately only now I am realising this. I have fond memories of the gym and hope that it has remained largely the same if not better. As someone with no Bstrong, I highly recommend this gym for your overall wellness.

I have been going to this gym regularly since I live nearby. Its the best in the area due to so many reasons. The workouts are very effective - I have become stronger this past year thanks to them (+ losing 20+ lbs 🙂). The instructors are very kind, attentive and care about all the members. I was especially touched during the initial days of the pandemic - they found ways to keep everyone active and healthy - virtual workouts, youtube workouts, regular articles on healthy living. The community is also fantastic - before the pandemic we used to have get-togethers occasionally, which I loved. Everyone is very kind. Bstrong is not just a gym- its a fitness community ❤️

Thanks, Sanchie! This means a lot - especially hearing how the training carried forward even after you moved. It's exactly what we're trying to build: strength and movement that sticks with you and keeps you healthy long-term, not just while you're here.
We miss having you in the gym. Hope you're doing well, and that your PT helps get things back on track.
Great balance - not hard core gym rats, but also serious support for helping you reach weight and fitness goals. Exercises are designed to improve strength, flexibility, and balance which helps me with my other activities being in my late middle age.

Thanks David! We really appreciate you taking the time to write this, and we appreciate all the effort you put into your workouts. We definitely try to avoid the hardcore “gym bro” vibe, and we're glad it feels like a comfortable place to train while still getting solid personal training focused on strength, flexibility, and injury prevention. You’re a great example of “training for life” here in Bellevue!
I have had an amazing experience the last 8 months at Bstrong. Absolutely clean and pristine gym. I love the coaches. They are all super friendly and knowledgeable. I look forward to my gym sessions. I also love how I don't have to track my weights for the workouts from earlier sessions, everything is recorded so you know the previous baseline. Highly recommend this place!
