TESTIMONIALS
“After 27 years of doing group fitness classes, I can say there is something fundamentally different about this studio. They have created an energetic, supportive fitness family, which has held together strongly during the pandemic, thanks to the virtual class offerings.
The growing library of online fitness classes are professionally produced, available any time, and bring the same energy into our homes that we’ve enjoyed in the studio. Don’t know what I would have done without these virtual classes the last several months, and I extend my boundless gratitude to the CFIT leadership and teaching staff. THANK YOU! I love it!”
“Community Fitness is more than a Gym or workout facility, it’s a gathering place for friends, fellowship and a lot of laughs! I feel the staff and the instructors are all inspirational leaders in the industry. I began my membership with Community Fitness about 3 years ago, prior to the pandemic, because I found out my favorite dance instructor was there, Medora Cesarano. Honestly, the joy and ‘frolic’ that exists in just that one hour is THE MOST addictive and magical experience I’ve ever had the pleasure of stumbling into. She is a master of mixing her humor, inclusiveness and inviting personality together with her long amassed dance experience creating an exhilarating, high-energy, commune-style festival of friends, family and camaraderie. I can’t wait to get to every class, I don’t mind the drive, I wouldn’t miss it for the world!
Community Fitness also provides access to expertly filmed live classes AND an online fitness video library which gives the global community the ability to tune into the magic, no matter when or where!”
“My husband and I took the 6:15pm Dance Fitness with Kat Dowrey class and I do not know if there are enough words in the dictionary to explain how amazing it was. You truly have something special at Community Fitness, and 100% believe y’all are doing it right! Last night my face hurt from smiling and laughing the entire time. This class was a breath of fresh air and I loved how everyone is so supportive of each other! I feel absolutely honored to have Community Fitness on our online platform and I would love to create an event with y’all because the rest of Seattle needs to know about this!”

“Community Fitness the best group fitness facility in town. It has superb teachers and an amazing amount of fitness format options. I love the Barre classes. I appreciate the attention to detail, focus on form, the corrections provided during class and the techniques given to maximize core strengthening. It looked easy at first, but once I was actually doing it, it turned out to be a “butt kicker” – literally and metaphorically! Barre makes me feel proud, seeing what my body is capable of.
I’m always telling people in Seattle to check out their in-person classes. And I have friends and family who live in other parts of the country that have virtual subscriptions, who tell me they have nothing like this in their own town. I love the fact that there are both in-person and online fitness options. It really makes it easy for me to remain fit even with my crazy work schedule.”

“Community Fitness has a large variety of total body fitness exercises, particularly focusing on core strength, which is really helping to keep running injuries away. I don’t have Internet access at our mountain cabin, so I figured I’d have to do without my regular online fitness sessions. But then I realized I could log into the website via my cell phone. Problem solved! Because the instructor’s verbal coaching is so thorough, I didn’t have to figure out how to do a move properly by looking at a tiny screen.
I’m a stronger runner and skier now. And I sleep better too! I have persuaded three of my running teammates (and one of their partners) to sign up for Ola’s Mat Pilates class. The partner is a former professional dancer and currently a physical therapist. Her comment to me was, “Ola really shows her knowledge of how each of the muscular systems work because she tailors the exercises to balance opposing groups.””

“The Cycle / Strength format is really unique and fun, with the perfect blend of cardio and strength training! I always get a great out-of-breath workout, while feeling stronger and more toned. The music is motivating, and the switching back and forth from cycling to weights is a nice workout change. I never get bored with the routines! The shorter intervals in Danielle Sharp’s class make it easier to push myself further.
I always leave feeling really good about myself and my body! Community Fitness is a wonderful place that promotes not only physical health but also body positivity. All of the teachers encourage checking in with your body, and congratulate you for setting aside the time to participate in class whether you’re physically in the studio or doing the online fitness classes.”

“I love Barre, Strength, HIIT and the Dance classes too! The teachers are motivational, inspirational and very experienced. Whichever workout I choose, I know my body and my mind will be nourished. Everyone is so welcoming here, from the staff to the other members. You come in solo and leave with friends. Definitely helpful when accountability is a factor. I’ve NEVER been more consistent with exercise since I joined. All the other gyms, I never went to and quit. LOL. The group classes and community has kept me consistent (about 10 years!)
Community Fitness is like a family, it’s the connections that keep me coming back. Aside from my body firming up, my mental health and discipline has improved. But the most memorable part of my experience at Community Fitness is the love and support I felt when I went back to Susan’s pump class after my son died. Working out at CFit, continues to help me feel more energized, happier and content. I’m always telling others how much I love it. I talk it up and my excitement and love for the classes usually gets them.”

What is the best way to lose weight?
You’ve heard it said that body weight is regulated by diet and exercise. Another common weight loss related phrase is “calories in vs. calories out”. It’s true that if your caloric consumption (diet) isn’t lower than your caloric expenditure (exercise), you simply won’t lose weight.
Diet / nutrition is key to losing weight, because an increase in exercise also leads to an increase in appetite. So exercising a ton won’t help you achieve a daily caloric deficit if you’re eating more as a result.
Because changing your eating habits can be challenging, keeping your diet (daily caloric intake) the same and changing (increasing) your in-studio or online fitness regime is generally considered a good game plan. Plus, with an increase in physical activity comes a host of additional mental, emotional and physiological benefits beyond just weight loss.
What types of exercises are good for weight loss?
Walking, Jogging and Running
Walking is great for beginners looking to lose weight because it can be done anywhere, anytime. Plus, it doesn’t require equipment and has minimal impact on your joints. Harvard Health estimates that a 155-pound person can burn around 170 calories for every 30min of walking at a moderate pace of about 4mph.
Jogging and running are great if you’re looking for something easy to incorporate into your weekly routine. Jogging and running can help burn unwanted belly fat, which has been linked to many chronic diseases. On average, a 155-pound person can burn around 300 calories for every 30 minutes of jogging at a 5mph pace, or 370 calories for every 30 minutes at a 6mph pace (1).
Dance Fitness
Burning calories and losing weight can be enjoyable with high-energy dance workouts at your local gym or in your living room – with virtual online workouts. Dancing is a fun way to raise your heart rate and lose weight. A 2012 study found that female Zumba participants (aged 18-22) burned an average of 9.5 calories per minute, and an average 369 calories in a 40 minute class.
Strength Training & Interval Training
Weight training is another great way to lose weight as you burn calories during and after your in-studio or online workout. Strength training may also help you build muscle mass, which increases your resting metabolic rate (RMR). Your RMR is the number of calories your body naturally burns while at rest. It’s estimated that a 155-pound person can burn roughly 110 calories with 30 minutes of strength training.
Many people looking to lose weight have been turning to interval training recently, because it helps burn more calories in less time. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is especially effective for losing weight because your body continues to burn calories for up to 24 hours after your online or in-person workout. One study found that for 9 active men, HIIT burned nearly 30% more calories per minute than other exercise types, including running on a treadmill, cycling and weight training. Additionally, studies have shown that HIIT targets belly fat, which reduces the risk for chronic diseases (2, 3, 4).
Barre
Barre is effective for weight loss because it combines cardio and strength training together in a single workout. While cardio workouts will burn more calories in a single session, strength training increases muscle mass which helps you burn calories even when you’re sleeping or sitting at your desk. Fitness programs that have both cardio and weight training help to maximize calorie burn.
Yoga
Yoga is good for weight loss because it can be done in a gym, at home with online fitness videos, or virtually anywhere. Harvard Health proposes that a 155-pound person burns about 150 calories per 30 minutes of Yoga. Yoga can improve mindfulness and your overall mental and physical well-being (5). It can also help you better understand your body’s hunger signals to control overeating (6).
Pilates
Pilates is a beginner-friendly exercise that can help you lose weight while building strength, balance, endurance, and flexibility (7). One study sponsored by the American Council on Exercise estimated that a person weighing roughly 140-pounds can burn 108 calories in a 30min beginner level Pilates class and 168 calories in a 30min a more advanced class. Pilates has also been shown to help reduce lower back pain.
Cycling
Cycling is another great exercise for all fitness levels which can be done outdoors or indoors on a stationary bike with online fitness videos. Cycling has been linked to increased insulin sensitivity and reduced risk of certain chronic diseases. According to Harvard Health, a person who weighs about 155-pound can burn up to 298 calories in just 30-minutes on a stationary bike at a moderate pace of 12-14 mph.
Which is better for losing weight, Cardio or Strength Training?
Losing weight is a matter of caloric consumption vs. expenditure. Whether you’re working out in a gym or doing online fitness at home, calorie burn will depends on factors like intensity, duration, and your weight. But generally speaking, Cardio will burn more calories in a single session. However, weight training increases muscle mass and the more muscle you have, the more calories you’ll burn at rest. This means your body will burn more calories over time, including when you’re sleeping or sitting at your desk. So a fitness program that has both cardio and strength training will maximize caloric expenditure. For more information on this topic check out this Healthline article.

What steps have you taken to keep clients safe during this pandemic?
Since reopening our Seattle gym in March, 2021, our studios have been at 25%, 50% and currently remain at 75% pre-covid capacities. We also have client workout stations marked on the floor, for social distancing purposes. However, the most important thing we’ve done for client safety is the installation of our new fresh air exchange system.
Studio air is now replaced with fresh outdoor air every 6 minutes (10 times an hour). Exhaled CO2 is a Covid risk proxy for indoor, and partially enclosed outdoor, spaces (Read more). With our new fresh air exchange system, average CO2 levels in class are around 450 parts per million (ppm).
For some comparison, Seattle and other major urban areas across the U.S., have outdoor CO2 levels measuring around 400 ppm. And previous WA State Open Air and Outdoor Seating Requirements use 450 ppm as a safety benchmark for CO2 levels. Read more
Wherever you’re currently working out, be informed and ask your gym what the CO2 levels are within their facility.
Learn more about all our Covid adaptations on our Coronavirus Response page here.
