Rain or shine, the Northwest has some of the best outdoor recreation anywhere! The Seattle Athletic Club is proud to offer you fun filled seasonal adventure programs led by Personal Fitness Trainer Thomas Eagen.
 Hiking Club
The Hiking Club meets every 3rd Saturday of the month (rain or shine!) in the lobby of the club at 7am. Join fellow outdoor enthusiasts as you trek through dense, overgrown forest, explore open meadows filled with wildflowers, or bask in the warmth on a sun bleached rock next to a gorgeous lake. The hikes change with the season. Whether you want to reconnect with your body and nature through Flow: Hiking + Yoga, or you want to sweat climbing to the top of Bandera Mountain; the Hiking Club will have something for you! Join us from January to October as we explore the Cascades!
Mountain Biking
Meeting at Gregg’s Cycle in Greenlake, Pro Xterra Athlete Brandyn Roark will lead you through an amazing day on the trails at Duthie Park. Are you new to mountain biking? Brandyn will teach you the skills needed to feel more comfortable on your bike out on the mountain. Have you been mountain biking for a while and consider yourself advanced? Let Brandyn show you some new tricks for better efficiency and more control. Have a great workout while learning from the best!
Leisure Bike Rides
Utilizing the myriad of trails throughout Seattle, Outdoor Recreation Coach Thomas Eagen will be leading groups of riders out to explore! Have you avoided riding in Seattle due to the hectic traffic and crazy drivers? Many of the trails follow old railroad lines and connect the outskirts of the city with downtown. Have you been on the spin bike all winter? Get outside and use the muscles you have been working on!! Meeting at various locations throughout the summer, riders will experience the city from a new perspective as they cruise through some of the cities oldest parks. Get out of your car and get on your bike and ride!
Snowshoeing
From the first snowfall of the year, Seattle Athletic Club’s Snowshoe group will be out creating new trails! Did you get snowshoes for Christmas but have never used them? Explore the Cascades throughout the winter as Outdoor Recreation Couch Thomas Eagen leads snowshoers through a variety of treks. Snowshoeing is a great way to keep your legs conditioned for the summer hikes! The trails range from easy to moderate in difficulty, focusing on enjoying the outdoors, having a good time, and safety! Snowshoe trips start the 2nd Saturday of the month in December and continue until the snow melts.
Scavenger Hunt
Team up with friends and the Seattle Athletic Club to race through downtown, completing fun, ridiculous challenges along the way!! The first annual Scavenger Hunt will have you laughing the entire time as you try to encourage tourist to take your picture at the market, have random people make a human pyramid, and add your DNA to the notorious gum wall. Teams of 2-4 will tackle the list and the city for 2 hours trying to get as many points as possible. Do you go for all of the lower points or push the comfort zone for the high points? Join the excitement this summer!
Rock Climbing
CLIMBING 101 is a 4 week climbing clinic involving 8 sessions where Personal Fitness Trainer Will Paton will teach you the basic fundamentals of climbing. Through this course you will learn climbing technique, how to use equipment, proper verbal cues, how climbing is rated and how to alter your own workouts to improve climbing skills. This class is open to all experience levels and is designed to leave you feeling comfortable and excited to begin climbing. The last two sessions we will be going to Vertical World and putting all that knowledge and work to the test on their indoor climbing and bouldering walls!
