For a long time, I had been trying to get back into working out. However, my biggest two issues were the fact that it was costly to get into a gym and that I hated the atmosphere of having nobody who could help me work out. Kent Vision Quest took care of both those issues.
First off, the gym is quite affordable for a college student such as myself, who doesn't have a whole lot of money. Consultants Hayden and Aaron helped me to sign the contract and went on to let me know about the benefits. One of which is that you get 2 free personal training sessions upon first signing up, and then one training session a month thereafter. For the price of the membership, that's pretty dang good!
This leads me to the second reason taken care of: my trainer Robert is quite possibly the most professional trainer I have ever worked with. He puts me through some extremely tough workouts, but that's only because I ask for it (and because I am a mainstay in the gym's Biggest Loser competition). I have seen him with his other clients, and he knows just how far to push them in their workouts.
One last reason: the staff. Every time I step in, I feel welcomed! From the front desk people, to the receptionist for the on-site chiropractor, to the General Manager, Assistant Manager, Fitness Consultants, Fitness Director, and Personal Trainers, all of them know my name and greet me by it! It's apparently gotten to the point where they begin to notice when I am NOT there. When I do come, all of them greet me with enthusiasm, and even come give me a quick high-five or even a hug in some cases. This is the most energetic, friendly, and knowledgeable staff I have had the pleasure of working with!
All things said, this is the best gym I have ever been to. Granted it's a little small, but that's OK with me, because it feels more like family. It is quite a drive from where I live (I live in Issaquah), but it's totally worth it for me, especially when I know the buses I need to take to get there :)
