Ballard CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: Former CrossFit naysayer here. So glad I decided to try these guys out. From end to end everyone here was friendly, accommodating, patient, knowledgeable. Very safety conscious. Very supportive community vibe. The space itself is great. Only good things to say. My one caution is that there's a lot of skill and strength required to do a lot of the moves and you really really have to ease into it slowly if you aren't already fit and proficient in the techniques.

Fantastic experience: The coaches and crossfitters at this gym make it a great balance between excellent fitness progression and strong community connection. As I walked up to what was clearly a bustling gym, both the head coach as well as the gym owner walked out and welcomed me. Joining one of their classes shortly after, I was impressed by their dedication to teaching proper form, their encouragement for each athlete to challenge themselves in a safe and sustainable way, and their facilitation for class members to connect and support one another. So great to work out in this authentic environment-- I would definitely be a regular if I lived in Seattle.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Crossfit gym! The trainers and gym owner were super friendly and helpful. They definitely accommodate members of varying skill levels. I've seen some serious Olympic lifting at the same time as some introductory and intermediate classes. It was also a very family friendly location. People have brought their small children and dogs to the gym! It's a great fit for beginners and seasoned competitors alike.

Fantastic experience: Possibly the best workout environment you can get. Been a member for three and-a-half years and have only had good experiences. Coaches are experienced, smart, are great teachers, while being warm, funny and welcoming. The atmosphere is positive and friendly, and any egos are checked at the door. Crossfit can be a humbling experience and the encouragement I've seen coaches and members give is an experience in itself.

Fantastic experience: This is a place for fitness and for camaraderie! For someone who wasn't much of an athlete growing up, I never felt like an "outsider" in this varied group of awesome people. I was embraced, encouraged, and motivated since day one. And two years later, I'm still at it with a lot of the same people who were there at the beginning and even more friends who've joined since! Ballard Crossfit provides a fun environment and friendly community that keeps you going back everyday. Love this Crossfit family!
