Nestled almost directly between North Bend and Snoqualmie amidst historic farmland, flanked with riverbank trees is Mt Si Sports & Fitness. As one passes on HW-202 it is easy to miss, not only because it is located on the side road known locally as the “Golf Course Road,” Boalch Avenue, but also because it is set against the distractingly breathtaking majesty of Mount Si, not to mention the huge herds of elk that frequent the area.
The gym was founded in 2003 offering an affordable and inviting place to exercise, with something for everyone. The business has grown and evolved over the past 17 years, offering a friendly and unpretentious environment that brings people together. It is locally owned and operated by Ben Cockman.
At Mt Si Sports & Fitness you will find an impressive array of workout options, a sizable free weight area, a fleet of treadmills, ellipticals, bikes, ropes and rowers as well as a myriad of options for personal training and instruction.
