Coolest gym with amazing coaches! Mikaela was fantastic! she guided me through two private onboarding sessions that really set me up for success. I just finished my first class and it was so much fun. The garage doors were open, the sun was shining in, and the energy was incredible. Everyone here is so kind and welcoming :) it truly feels like a close-knit community. read more

Green Lake Strength & Conditioning - Coolest gym. - Trainers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I've been a member of GLSC for several years now and just love this gym. The coaches are fantastic and the community is wonderful. There's space for all skill levels and athleticism. It's a welcoming environment, whether you're showing up to the gym because you just heard that lifting heavy things is good for you or you love to push yourself to the edge on every workout. Come join us! read more

I've never been a "gym guy". I grew up thinking I was too small to be athletic until I rediscovered sports as a young adult. So when I say, "I love this gym", know that it's not coming from somejock who loved working out...and I do love this gym. I had been searching for a form of exercise to replace the activity and community of a team sport after I suffered a ruptured Achilles. I found GLSC through a free trial and had no idea it was going to change the way I thought and felt about fitness. GLSC workouts were the highlight of my week, and over the course of a year, I saw my skills, strength, and enjoyment improved significantly. Here's why I love Green Lake Strength and conditioning: 1) The coaches: Shout out to Coaches Hannah, Zeyab, and Jonathan, who were my first and primary coaches. They are the perfect balance between motivating and moderating, helping you gauge your skill/strength limits and safely push them. They are excellent at teaching form and technique, and they brought my high-school-level understanding of weightlifting up to par. Despite having an injured Achilles shoulder, their guidance helped ensure that I never injured myself (and in fact reduced my pain through strengthening and increasing range of motion) even while greatly increasing my strength and endurance. They can help you improve whether you're a beginner or an expert. 2) The community: GLSC has a vibrant community. Members get to know each other but not in an in-your-face sort of way - you can be a casual weekly member or you can join your fellow members on unofficial hikes and official BBQs and gatherings. There's a very wide range of ages and experiences in these classes, and they didn't make me feel "dumb" or out of place. Classes have been kept to 12 people max, which after experiencing much smaller and larger classes, 12 is a great number - not too crowded but not awkwardly empty. You also get to know each other through the infamous question of the day - just lean into it, it'll be fun, I promise. ;) 3) Facilities/programming: After trying several other gyms, I can confidently say that none of them quite match up to GLSC's programming. GLSC excels because of the three distinct segments of their strenght & conditioning workouts: Warm-ups, skill/strength-building, and WOD. The warm-ups aren't just stretching and jumping jacks - they are specifically design to engage the muscle groups that you'll be using, they help reinforce the techniques needed to complete the rest of the workout of the day, and they get your heart pumping. Other gyms I've experienced rush this part or do the bare minimum. The skill/strength segment is where I learned the most over the last year because they remove the speed element and focus on quality over quantity. Again, the other gyms I've experienced rush this part and either skip teaching altogether or push you into a higher pace too soon. They also offer a wide range of modifications and equipment to meet each person's level of skill and strength. The WODs vary between low, medium, and high metabolic conditioning and are varied in type and style so you're never bored. There's no "leg day" or "arm day" - your entire body will be exhausted every day. They oddly fill you with both a sense of dread and excitement, knowing how hard they will be but also how good you'll feel afterwards. And for what it's worth, the coaches have generally good tastes in music - good balance between pumping you up but not obnoxious techno. A note about cost: It's expensive. But I look at value for cost, not low cost. The quality of the coaching and programming alone is easily worth it in my eyes. Add to that a clean, high-quality facility, fun community, and personal results and I was happy to pay the higher cost. I loved this gym...but sadly had to give up my membership when my workplace moved away. I'm still searching for a new gym, forever comparing it to GLSC and still not finding its equal. Congrats, Nate and team, for building this wonderful gym and community! Hit me up if you want to expand to S. Seattle! read more

When Kate and Nate took over this gym and turned NWCF into GLSC, they took the best parts of CrossFit and made it even better! I've been an active member for 3 years and it's become an essential part of my daily routine. The workouts are varied and do a good job of focusing on different areas. The aerobic intensity depends on the day of the week, and every 2-3 months we focus on a smaller set of movements/skills. This way, you get to incrementally make progress in a more targeted way across a set of movements, but still get to holistically train your body throughout the year. I'm also a huge fan of their special class series that are dedicated to a specific goal and don't have a "WOD". Strength Series (powerlifting), Barbell Club (olympic weightlifting), bone building, mobility, etc. Best of all is the community of this gym. It's extremely welcoming and far more diverse and inclusive than any other CrossFit box I've been to. I generally wouldn't recommend CrossFit-style workouts to beginners, but I'd definitely recommend GLSC. There's a lot of focus on mobility and accessory work and zero pressure to push yourself beyond your limits. Unsurprisingly, this can also become a downside for people who are more advanced and competitive and rely more on external pressure to push themselves. You can certainly make any workout as challenging as you'd like, but the workouts here don't have RX weights and tend to shy away from more injury-prone movements. read more

Amazing gym with great coaches, fun community, and engaging workouts. Also good dogs.

I signed up for Individualized Design at GLSC in August; I've had a great experience. - the programming: tailored to my goals, accounting for my injury history & general capability, and evolving according to my progress (shouting out Antonio & Olivia) - the coaching: real time, consistent, and specific. The mechanics/form guidance has been awesome across variety of trainers - overall vibe: good energy among employees, members, and ownership. It's a very friendly environment; I look forward to going! read more

I was a member from April, '24 until September, '24 and only left because I moved. I really enjoyed my time at GLSC. The onboarding classes did a good job assessing my current condition and understanding of different workouts before joining group classes. I like the Metcon-style workouts in small groups which allowed the coaches to give specific attention to each individual over the course of the workout. They heavily emphasized proper technique and protecting oneself from injury over taking shortcuts which can lead to bad habits or injuries. Over my time there I felt like I got much better at Olympic lifting which was an emphasis of mine, but they personalize the approach for each athlete, so I'm confident that you will be able to set and make progress toward your own goals whether that's increasing strength, focusing on form and technique, or just getting a great workout in an open and welcoming setting. The only thing that I would add to this gym if I was able to would be locker room facilities. I recommend you check out this gym and give it and yourself a shot at being great. read more

Been a member for the past few months now. First time trying crossfit style workouts. I like the space because the coaches are helpful and have a nuanced approach to checking your form/ endurance/ strength. I was skeptical about joining a 12 member class but the coaches definitely dont let you be in case they notice something is off. Kudos. I also LOVE the strength training cycels that the gym offers. It is a well paced way to build your strength and offers more personalized coaching. Shout out to Coach Hannah, Coach Olivia as they are truly invested in the success of their "students". They take time to break down the movements, walking through them at a good pace. I recommend everyone to try this place. read more

I am going to preface this by saying it will read possibly more like a love letter...but I promise it is a gym review.   I was a devout gym member prior to COVID. I went 4-6 times per week. Paid for personal training. Met people I liked and enjoyed by classes. But was also often sad about the turnover rate. Fellow members seemed to stick around longer, but trainers were on a constant revolving door.   Then the lockdown happened. I worked out from home...on Zoom with some of those same fellow members of my gym or outside in parks. I could workout individually, but that was less fun and I definitely didn't push myself as much. I looked forward to those workouts.   Fast forward to November of 2021 - a friend recommended this gym they had joined. I decided to give it a try, and I am so, so glad that I did. In the just over a year and a half that I have been a member of Green Lake Strength & Conditioning I have seen new coaches join and only one leave - for their dream job. I have met amazing people - coaches and members - and learned so many things about fitness and myself, about community.   GLSC isn't a standard gym that is looking for increasing their member base on the assumption that a decent portion of those people won't come to the gym to workout. They focus on building members up from their starting point - helping each person be stronger both physically and mentally than they were before. They believe in fun...finding the things to celebrate whether that be with birthday burpees (a tradition that sounds horrible but is so lovely) or a community potluck. They believe that the best program is about coaching - supporting people to do the movements well, rather than just "get heavy".   Things I have learned include: my only competition is really myself - to have better form or be faster/stronger than previous me; to pay attention to specific details and the rest will come; to put things back where they belong (okay, I already knew that...but it's important to take care of the space you're in); that there is always time for dogs (also: cats); that I only cheat myself if I skip reps/cut something short; to listen to my body; to push myself a little beyond what I *think* I can do (because I can probably do it); that sometimes it is nice to commiserate mid-workout with someone going through the same thing; that having another place where you can connect with people and do something you love is incredibly important.   I am moving out of the country next week. I will miss my friends and family, obviously. But, honestly? The thing that makes me the most sad is moving away from my gym family. Because that is what GLSC is - a family. People who support you, cheer you on, celebrate your strengths & push you to work on your weaknesses, laugh with you, sweat with you, cry with you. You will not find a better gym, or better people. And if that doesn't get you...there are adorable dogs in and out of that place all day. Come for the dogs, stay for the community & the fitness. read more

I started at GLSC in June and have really enjoyed it. The instructors are great and the community is awesome! I have gotten stronger and more fit. read more

I started the GLSC individualized design about 6 months ago and it's been far above my expectations. The programming very well designed and the coaches are firm focused and knowledgeable. I thought I was a decent lifter but I have had my form significantly improved which makes the experience much better. I would estimate that my strength has increased 25-30% in the past 6 months with no weight gain. Mobility and strength both up. Core feels much more stable and balanced which feels great since I have a desk job. If you have the money and 3 days a week to spare. I highly recommend it. It's been a game changer for me. read more

I've been going to Green Lake Strength and Conditioning for almost a year now, and have loved every minute of it! The trainers and facilities are exceptional. Not only am I seeing physical results, but I'm also building an incredible community in my own local neighborhood! Thank you GLSC!! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a new gym routine. read more

Excellent gym! Nate is the owner: so kind, helpful, welcoming. My friend does CF here so I came with her and had a marvelous experience! Great workout. Excellent coaching. Athletes are super nice and friendly. Space is wonderful, plentiful good equipment. Dog friendly which is always a plus for me! read more

GSLC is an amazing studio run by passionate staff and owners who create an environment of both acceptance and competitive spirit. The gym offers CrossFit-style classes and personal training, as well as more niche classes such as pilates, mobility, olympic lifting, and outdoor HIIT. They truly value their members' input and often make changes to the gym's environment, offerings, and schedule based on community feedback. If you are looking for a community-focused gym to help you reach your fitness goals, GLSC is unmatched. They are also SUPER dog friendly :) read more

Green Lake Strength & Conditioning - Trainers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I really love their style of coaching. Everyone I have met there has been really nice and welcoming. I joined about 2 months ago and it's nice to see there is a mix of some newcomers but a lot of people have been going for a really long time. Skill level has a wide range from very fit to newbies. They don't make you feel bad for modifying the workouts and let you really work at your own pace and skill. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for some more structure and motivation to their workouts! read more

What a wonderful gym! Clean, with top-notch equipment and good vibes! I'm using it for obstacle course race training, and it's working well, especially since it has a place to practice rope climbing read more

GLSC is a wonderful place with very supportive, helpful, and friendly staff. The staff make sure that you learn the right form and technique in an encouraging way that still meets you where you are at. It has a great community that has not only helped fix my hip pain, but also for the first time in my life consistently gotten me into the gym several days a week. Even on my rough days, there is a genuine sense of "glad to see you, way to make some time for yourself." I highly recommend GLSC! read more

I've been coming to GLSC with a 3x a week membership since October 2021 and I love it! I was weigh-lifting and exercising on my own for about 5 years before joining another Crossfit gym for 2 years. When the pandemic hit, I bought a few sets of dumbbells and was exercising using the Nike Training App in my garage. It served me well for a year, but this past fall I was itching for more variety and motivation. I met with Nate (one of the gym owners) for a required orientation for folks who have experience with crossfit or aren't new to this type of workout. Among other things, he told me that the gym's goal is to keep members active for a long time by prioritizing form over competitiveness (i.e. no leaderboards, not prioritizing 1 rep maxes as often), to ensure people don't burn out. This really resonated with me. While I loved Crossfit and still have a soft spot for it in my heart, this strength & conditioning approach to exercise feels like a much more sustainable way to exercise for me. The workouts are still challenging, but I'm not constantly ripping my hands up on the pullup bar, getting the taste of metal in my mouth from cardio, or getting so sore that I can't take the stairs for days after a workout. The workouts are a good mix of skill work (strength work, etc) and higher-heart rate burn. I'm excited to come to class. The coaches are consistent about explaining each exercise, regardless of whether it's a basic one or more of an advanced move. That's really helpful for folks who are newer to exercising but also for people who have been working out for a while because it reminds everyone to keep form top of mind. Compared to Crossfit, I love the flexibility of not having assigned Rx weights, and having options for how to scale things. This is a big change that I appreciate. The owners are constantly working on ways to improve the member experience, and regularly ask for member feedback. Good folks! :) read more

This gym has provided a safe space (both physically and mentally) to build strength! I've been a member of the gym for two years and I have yet to get bored. The coaches facilitate a positive environment and most importantly, they won't let you get hurt. All coaches have the ability to spot when your form isn't right and they work with you to ensure your safety. That could mean a small tweak in your form or suggestions to go down in weight/use no weight at all. I absolutely love this community and would highly recommend this place to others. It is really hard work but they offer endless support. That is a tough combo to find in a crossfit-type gym! read more

I travel to Seattle over the summers and have used GL strength & conditioning for the last two summers. Their programming is top notch in my opinion. The appropriate amount of stretching , pre workout and great instruction makes a nice all around workout ! If you are into cross fit or just want a lightweight workout you can easily go at your own pace and modify to your ability. Instructors are great as well. Best part for me is that you can buy punch card visits if you are just there temporarily ! read more

Great teachers, great location, and I love the classes! I on-boarded with one of GLSC's trainers (shout out to Laura, who is a wonderful trainer and one of my favorite teachers!) to get acquainted with the techniques used during the group classes. Classes are capped at 12 participants, which means coaches can have eyes on you to make sure you're being safe and have good technique. The classes really focus on providing cues for getting the most out of each movement and not injuring yourself. The workouts are scalable, so you can push yourself according to what is best for your body on a given day (although I find that the workouts kick my ass - in a good way - on most days) I'm coming from the world of HIIT workouts, and while GLSC's classes certainly include some HIIT components, I appreciate that a focus of this gym involves barbells (for deadlifts, cleans, snatches, OH presses, etc). I'm a fan of this place and I'm happy to call this my home gym! read more

Great gym with great trainers and members. Everyone is serious about their workouts, but in a supportive, non-competitive way. Trainers are quite careful about form and injury prevention. read more

Just started working out here and I love it. There is a tremendous sense of community. I have shoulder injuries and they seem to know how to help me around them thus far. Plus, it is a five minute run from my house so location location location. Can't wait to get back from vacation and hit the gym again. read more

Nate and Kate are very welcoming co-owners of GLSC. The onboarding process was very smooth, starting w/ an interview w/ one of the friendly trainers (Mikaela in my case) to establish what my fitness goals are for my journey to developing healthier habits. Once the meeting finished, I immediately jumped into my first (out of 6) on-ramp classes, where Zayeb and Mikaela co-coached beginners into learning proper form so as not to injure yourself so soon from performing cross-fit-adjacent movements. It was great to be in a group of folks new to this style of gym- we even connected w/ each other on Signal to coordinate attending classes together. The on-ramp class also has the added benefit of offering 2 weeks of regular gym class. GLSC was very flexible with my busy work schedule, allowing me to make up one of the missed on-ramp classes at the next cycle of on-rampers(?), if that's a word. Additionally, I had notified them that I would be on vacation, and they kindly put a hold on my account so that I would not get charged on my membership while I was away visiting family. I also was accidentally charged prematurely, as I had not yet come back from vacation, but Nate was very understanding and immediately resolved the issue by crediting my account so that I would not get charged until 1 month from my restart date, with a prorated amount for the rest of the month. The group classes themselves are quite enjoyable, starting with stretching and movement to get ready for the strength portion of the workout, then more dynamic exercises, and ending with a stretching/cool-down period. The workouts are modifiable- you aren't pressured to push yourself to injury, so you get to select the best weight and pace appropriate for you. Other accommodations include leaving the garage doors open for those more CoVID-conscious in the group, which is appreciated (as someone working in healthcare) that other members aren't pressured into uncomfortable situations. tl;dr: In summary, GLSC is a very welcoming CrossFit-like gym with kind, reasonable owners, and a variety of interesting coaches to learn from- and classes to choose- at a competitive price. If you are a beginner to exercise like me, group fitness at this place may be for you! [also, people's dogs visit this place often, for the dog-lovers out there :) ] read more

I joined this cool spot about 8 weeks ago, and it had put me on the track I wanted. All coaches are very friendly and helpful. There's lots of available sessions to attend throughout the day. The fact that's lots of the members here have been with GLSC for several years make me believe that this is the right spot for someone who wants to build a consistent habit of working out. I highly recommend it! read more

Best strength and training gym in Seattle ! I have been coming here now for 6 months and I am so glad to have found this place for so many reasons: the open welcoming space, the people that come here to work out and just have fun, and the coaches are amazing and support you all the way through!! read more

I recently moved to Seattle and tried a few gyms but none ever "clicked" or kept me motivated on my health journey. I pass Green Lake Strength & Conditioning often and decided, why not? I was immediately intrigued by the structure and format of the classes. The coaches emphasize the importance of longevity and base this foundation in the schematics of the 'WOD'. Rather than focus on heavy heavy heavy, how do we enhance mobility? The coaches are extremely helpful and guide with respect which is a huge plus! Would recommend to anyone looking for a sustainable health routine! read more

GLSC has created an awesome, inclusive, accessible culture for people who are interested in starting or improving their fitness journey. If you're someone who hasn't lifted much before or wants more structure into your routine, this is an excellent gym to try. They put on a wonderful on-ramp class to teach you the basics and allow you to feel comfortable when starting group classes. read more

I've been a part of this gym for 3 months, and it's been wonderful. I was working out at home with only dumbbells, no physical training experience, and was stumbling my way through trying to learn form. I learned of this Gym and signed up for their Onramp course. Their Onramp class was valuable enough honestly to take it on it's own without joining the gym. The form corrections, the workout knowledge, and the building blocks of lifting were things I wish I knew when I started working out alone in my livingroom 9 months ago. The classes afterwards are equally great. Every time I work out I get form advice and feel it super hard the next day. Everyone is friendly, LGBT friendly, and there's even dogs who get to hang out (safely, to the side) as we work out. The amount of strength I'm able to gain just from correcting my poor form is outstanding. There's still a lot more to go, but I've grown so much since working here and I thank the coaches of GLSC for doing a great job. Wonderful group of folks, and they make everyone feel so welcome. Thanks Coach Z and the rest of the coaching team for being awesome! read more

Green Lake Strength and Conditioning has been great. We've been members for 7 months and we really enjoy the classes taught by Jaeger and Paul. They have great coaches at Green Lake! Paul had weekly Sunday classes that focused on one skill each month and that's how I finally learned how to do double-unders (I've been trying to learn this skill for 3+ years). The building and workout area are awesome as well. I liked the garage doors which are great for a warm day workout and good during COVID times. read more

Fantastic gym and community! Super welcoming and great, dynamic workouts that always keep things interesting. Highly recommended.

great gym, fabulous community and top notch instruction. I have been a member for 12 years

You want a work out? You got it... Oh my gosh... I knew I was out of shape, but going to one sample Crossfit workout solidified that I am horribly out of shape. Jake, the owner told me I should try this out. I had done some serious circuit training in the Air Force...but nothing like this. I was broken for at least 3 days following my 15 minute workout. This location is really great, right on Greenlake. When you walk into the gym it is farely simple. I was really intimidated before I got there to try it out, having read some of the hard chore stories about Crossfit, but I was eager to try. Another really great thing that I found with NW Crossfit is that the schedule really fits for almost everyone...you really wouldn't be able to say "I don't have time." because the workouts are short, and they have a great variety of class times. If you want to see someone in action check this link out: http://www.nwcrossfit.com/?p=98 The cost for joining this gym is not too steep. I have seen other programs at other gyms that are disgusting, and I think the money is worth it when it comes to NW Crossfit. Jake Platt (the owner) really loves what he does, and has a great backround as does the other trainer that I met while I was there. If you haven't tried it...and nothing else has worked to get you into shape...this will. read more

See all

GLSC (Green Lake Strength + Conditioning) has been such a great gym experience for us. The coaches are top notch (Paul, Jaeger, Shana...). We enjoy the workouts and the soundtrack. The workouts are well designed and very challenging, but what we really like is the attention of the coaches to form, technique, and safety. The equipment is great. Importantly, they have kept everyone safe during Covid by reducing class size, using masks indoors, having outdoor space to workout, and having people clean the equipment they use with sanitizer in between workouts. The ownership is pleasant and they work out at the gym too. We can't say enough good things about it and hope to see more people come and learn from their pros. Lots of gains here! And its been wonderful to have an active community to engage with during the pandemic. read more

I have to say, Crossfit is the most difficult form of working out. It's as bad as it gets. HOWEVER, with that said, it was the most funnest, invigorating, challenging and motivating working out ever! It's kinda like circuit training, but you do the class in about 15 mins. You are timed for this workout. With trainers coming around to encourage you to keep going, and if you can't handle it, they tell you to try again another day (like i was told). It's very difficult if you've never done this type of working out before. I am a bikram/power vinyasa yoga, runner and I tell ya... it's intense. I was sore for three days. I'm definitely coming back to try again. Although the drop in fee is pretty hefty, it beats buying a drink at the bar after work, i can tell ya that much. read more

This is my 4th crossfit gym and I love this place. Great teachers, an inclusive environment, a great bunch of people of all ages and backgrounds who just want a great workout, and a nice space in the heart of Greenlake. The format is pretty straightforward, first 15-20 minutes of class is a warm up and mobility exercises, then there is some skill/strength work, then there is the Workout of the Day which is a combination of strength and cardio. I do the 6am class 3 times a week and I leave every class exhausted...but in a good way. I also like that they modify the workouts for people depending on physical limitations as it supports the positive environment. They offer a 6 week beginner pack that I would recommend to those who have never done crossfit. Then after that go at your own pace! read more

I cannot say enough good things about the Green Lake Strength and Conditioning gym! While providing a welcoming and supportive environment, Green Lake Strength and Conditioning is committed to excellence in their programming and maintaining well trained professional coaches. Coaches engage with members throughout classes offering encouragement, tips and help as needed. Aspects about this gym that most resonate for me, are the feelings of friendship and community, variety in the programming, and workouts that are both very challenging and fun! read more

Northwest CrossFit is my favorite gym in Seattle! I first signed up for a membership at NWCF 3 years ago before taking a (long) break. During that time, I tried many, many other gyms and fitness classes (HIIT, functional fitness, personal training, etc.) in the Seattle area. While they were all cool in their own ways, I always hit a wall where I didn't feel as though there was much room for growth. It was only about a month ago that I returned to CrossFit, so I bought a pack of individual classes at NWCF and jumped back in. Coaches: I was nervous for my first class, but all my fears were squashed immediately by the coaches. They're all amazing, knowledgeable, caring people who will remember your name and welcome you to each class. No one is invisible or nameless at NWCF, and believe me, that's rare at most fitness classes! The coaches take time to get to know each person, and you can tell they want everyone to improve and progress through the skills at their own pace. Best of all, they're always encouraging while emphasizing safety and proper form. Classes: Each class is an hour, during which time you're led through a very thorough warm-up tailored to the WOD (injury prevention!), followed by skill work, and then the WOD. I noticed there's a pattern to the workout programming each week, so one day might be all about calisthenics, while other days will utilize barbells/dumbbells/kettlebells. Personally, I like knowing I can expect barbell work on Tuesdays (for example) so that I can plan other physical activity around my NWCF workout. One thing that's great is the variety of programming! You'll never be bored at NWCF! One thing I have to mention is the scaleability of NWCF's WODs. I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to CrossFit skills, so I really appreciate that all of the workouts are scaleable. There's absolutely no pressure to be an expert right out of the gate because there's always room to progress from wherever you are on your fitness journey. If you'd really like to build skills and confidence, NWCF offers bootcamp classes on specific days (see website) that are guaranteed to on-ramp you to the CF classes. One last thing: if you like to prepare yourself mentally for the next day's WOD, they're posted on TrainHeroic (website/app) the afternoon before. Gym: Honestly, I can't think of a cooler training spot that NWCF. The first thing you'll notice is the floor-to-ceiling, clear, sliding garage windows on 3 walls of the gym. When classes are in session, all 3 walls can be raised for extra ventilation and a really modern, open-space vibe. People who've seen or been to NWCF unanimously say it's a really cool building. Inside, you'll find an expansive array of equipment organized neatly to maximize the space. It's pretty rad to workout at NWCF and it's a great location, in my opinion. Parking: limited on-site but plenty of free street parking. Atmosphere: It's only been a month since I started going to classes, but NWCF already feels like a community. I'm an introvert, but I found myself becoming more and more comfortable here. The owner, Jake, is very friendly and welcoming, and you can tell he truly cares about each and every person. NWCF definitely isn't a globo-gym, and Jake, the coaches, and all the members have created a safe, friendly, super chill place to workout and engage with the Seattle community. In addition, NWCF regularly has community-building events, which are a chance to get to know other members and usually contribute to a good cause. TLDR: NWCF has a fantastic coaching team ready to get you started with CF or help you improve if you already have a solid CF foundation. The classes are challenging and scaleable for people of all abilities. It's a cool space to workout in and you won't find a better gym community in Seattle. Curious or undecided? Everyone gets one week of classes for free! read more

Extremely happy with NWCF. The instructors are attentive and actively monitor form throughout the class. The programing is fun and helps with both strength and condition gains. The atmosphere is motivating but never pushes you to the point of unsafe lifting. The gym has a great setup with top of the line equipment. Great value, highly recommended. read more

Love it! Great place for CrossFit. Coaches are very welcoming and knowledgeable. Have been doing CrossFit here for over 2 months and loving it!! read more
