Members can bring guests free from 10/8 to 10/15! We’ve lined up exciting classes, workshops, and demos—no RSVP needed, just bring your guest and enjoy the gym together.

Personal Trainer Tips: Allen Gonzalez on lat pull downs

Allen has created a short video showcasing one of his favorite back day exercises: lat pull downs—definitely worth a watch! Just click the photo!

He appreciates lat pull downs for their ability to target multiple upper body muscles, including the shoulders, biceps, and back, making them fantastic for building overall strength and promoting good posture.

When it comes to reps, Allen recommends sticking to a weight you can repeat 12-15 times per set to maintain proper technique while getting an effective workout.

Looking to level up? Allen is available for one-on-one personal training and is teaching the Trainer Workshop Equipment Orientation on two Saturdays this month (see below for details). Don’t forget to check out OAC's Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok for more videos from Allen!

OAC Won the Best in the PNW Contest for Yoga/Pilates!!!

Olympic Athletic Club is proud to announce that we’ve won the People’s Choice Award for Best Yoga and Pilates in the Pacific Northwest! This incredible honor is a true testament to the dedication of Bev and our exceptionally talented instructors, whose hard work has earned this well-deserved recognition.

As Bev shares, 'We are immensely proud of our group fitness instructors, especially our yoga and Pilates teams, who consistently set the standard for excellence. The strong sense of community within our group fitness classes is what drives our instructors to be the very best in the Pacific Northwest!'



A heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted and helped us achieve this recognition—this award is as much yours as it is ours!

Pump It Up: Join Our 2nd Annual Pink BodyPump!

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Bev and Shannon are hosting a special Pink BodyPump event—you’re invited!

Both have been personally touched by breast cancer, making this event more than just a workout—it’s a chance to raise awareness while having fun! Every day, over 700 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with breast cancer, and 1 in 8 women will face it in their lifetime.

Last year’s Pink BodyPump was a hit, and this year promises to be even more energizing with two dynamic instructors and heart-pounding music. Whether you show up in pink or not, you won’t want to miss the Bev/Shannon magic!



Join us in Studio A on Saturday, October 26th at 11:30 a.m. Let’s lift, have fun, and raise awareness together!
