Personal Training In Bellevue, WA

Finding the right personal trainer can be the difference between spinning your wheels and actually achieving the results you're working toward. At Starr Weight Training Gym, we host a team of independent, certified personal trainers who bring diverse specialties, training styles, and backgrounds — all operating within Bellevue's most equipped boutique gym.

Whether you're brand new to resistance training and need expert guidance to get started safely, recovering from an injury and working to rebuild your strength, training for a specific athletic goal, or simply looking to break through a plateau with a customized program — our trainers can help.

Unlike trainers at large corporate gyms who may be juggling dozens of clients on the floor simultaneously, our trainers work in a private, focused environment. You'll have their full attention, access to premium equipment, and a training experience that feels personal — because it is.

Why Train With a Personal Trainer?

The benefits of working with a qualified personal trainer go far beyond having someone count your reps. Our personal trainers are experts in their field and each of them bring their own unique perspective. Each of our dedicated personal trainers will: 

  • Design a periodized training program tailored to your specific goals, fitness level, and schedule

  • Provide accountability and structure that keeps you consistent over the long term

  • Teach you proper movement mechanics to maximize results and prevent injury

  • Adjust your program as you progress, ensuring you're always being appropriately challenged

  • Offer guidance on nutrition, sleep, and recovery habits that support your training

  • Help you develop the knowledge and confidence to train effectively on your own

Tony Starr is a certified personal trainer with over 15 years of experience and one of the most decorated coaches on the Eastside. He was recognized as the 2024 Best of 425 Personal Trainer by 425 Magazine - and nominated consistently year after year in one of the most respected local recognition programs in the Bellevue/Eastside community.

Tony specializes in working with lifestyle clients across all demographics: new moms, working professionals and executives, amateur and semi-professional athletes, students, and individuals focused on healthy aging and functional strength. His coaching philosophy centers on building deep self-awareness in clients — helping them understand movement, nutrition, and recovery at a fundamental level so that fitness becomes a sustainable lifestyle rather than a temporary fix.

  • 1:1 Personal Training (in-gym at Starr Weight Training)

  • Semi-Private Personal Training
