I booked a week pass during a work conference during that had me in Seattle and this gym far exceeded my expectations. Access was seamless, the 24/7 schedule gave me enough flexibility to actually use it, equipment was high quality and well-maintained, everything was clean and tidy. Overall highly positive experience.
Stayed in downtown Seattle for the weekend and wanted a day pass to get a morning workout in. Great equipment and the type of gym i would attend regularly if i lived in the area!
I’m really impressed by the people and facilities here. I train with Drew Benzion and she’s an amazing trainer. She focuses on ideal technique and knows when to push and when to not.
Transform 180 is a clean, no-nonsense gym with plenty of well-maintained machines. Simple, functional, and a great place to get a solid workout in.
Solid gym, perfect for strength and weight training with a huge range of equipment
Incredible Gym! Will definitely be back here. Welcoming staff, and plenty of space. Highly recommend.

Thanks James! Glad the week pass made a work trip easier. Come back next time you're in Seattle.

Thanks Robert! That's the best compliment we can get. Hope to see you next time you're in town.

Thanks Akash! Drew's technique-first coaching is a big part of why her clients get results. I'll make sure she sees this.
I’ve been training with Drew for about seven months, and I’ve had such a great experience working with her. When I first started, my goals were to build muscle, lose some body fat, and become stronger. Over the past seven months, I’ve seen a noticeable improvement in my strength and have also started to see more muscle definition. What I really appreciate about Drew is how genuinely invested she is in helping her clients reach their fitness goals. She is always patient when I have questions and takes the time to explain not only how to do an exercise correctly, but also what muscles it targets and why it is beneficial. Every session is thoughtfully planned based on how I’ve been training that week and how I’m feeling that day. She keeps track of all of my workouts and shares the details with me, which makes it much easier to see my progress over time. Drew has also introduced me to so many different exercises and variations, which keeps training interesting. She encourages progressive overload in a very thoughtful way, gradually helping me adapt to heavier weights and challenge myself. Being able to lift weights that once felt impossible has given me such a strong sense of accomplishment. With Drew’s guidance, I now feel confident going to the gym on my own and following a structured training plan consistently. I still train with her every week because her coaching continues to make a huge difference in my progress and pushes me to challenge myself in ways I probably wouldn’t on my own. I genuinely enjoy training with Drew. She is knowledgeable, responsible, supportive, and truly wants her clients to enjoy fitness while becoming stronger. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a great personal trainer!
Seven months of steady progress is a huge win, Yawei. Thanks for the detailed review. Drew will love reading it.

Clean and no-nonsense is exactly what we're going for. Thanks Deepak!
Solid gym, perfect for strength and weight training with a huge range of equipment
Thanks Rishabh! Strength training is what SLU was built around, so glad the equipment's working for you. See you on the platforms.
Joined recently, so far so good! Can get busy during evenings.
Welcome aboard, Saurabh! You're right, 5 to 7pm is our busiest stretch. Early mornings and late nights are a lot quieter if you want more room. That's the upside of 24/7 access.
Incredible Gym! Will definitely be back here. Welcoming staff, and plenty of space. Highly recommend.
Jevon, thanks for the kind words! Glad the team made you feel welcome. The door's always open when you're back.
Have good equipment
Thanks Ángel, glad the equipment's doing the job for you!
