Northwest Fitness Company in Puyallup has closed its doors after seven years in business.
The 24/7 fitness center, located at 4301 S Meridian Suite H, announced the sudden closure on social media Saturday, writing that it would close for good that night.
“For the past 7 years, this has been more than just a gym — it’s been a community, a family and a place where lives were changed. We’ve seen incredible transformations, built lifelong friendships and shared in so many wins together. We are beyond grateful for every single one of you — our members, our trainers and our staff. You made this place what it was,” the post read.
Along with providing 24/7 access, Northwest Fitness Co. also offered a variety of classes, personal trainers and a kids club.

During the COVID-19 lockdowns across Washington in 2020, Northwest Fitness Co. protested then-Gov. Jay Inslee’s stay-home orders by allowing people to come and work out inside. The state eventually sued the gym for violating the governor’s orders, but the case was dismissed.
In the post announcing the closure, Northwest Fitness Co. said it was “heartbroken, but also hopeful,” and announced a partnership with nearby gym UFC Fit.
Northwest Fitness Co. members can continue their memberships at the same rates at UFC Fit Puyallup, according to the post.
“Any prepaid memberships and unused personal training sessions will be honored and you may even see some familiar faces there,” the post continued.
Northwest Fitness Co. did not respond to The News Tribune’s requests for comment.
