Seattle, WA OT rate is at a Tier 5. Therefore, I had to pay a surcharge of about $11 to attend the class. If you're from out of town, I recommend getting there 15-20 minutes early to iron all this out, get a heart rate monitor, and just general setup. The studio was about a mile from my hotel, so I just decided to get steps in and walk over. The area isn't too bad. I think I only saw one, non- threatening homeless person on my way over. It was nice to see green "safety ambassadors" on bikes as an extra set of eyes. The gym equipment was kind of old. The treadmill is definitely the older version of the one that I currently have in my studio. The weights seem newer. Coach Suz was ok and tried to keep the energy up. Overall, a pretty good experience.

If you're looking for a trainer, you simply CANNOT do better than Will Harrison! He has been coaching me for almost a year now and I've gone from wheezing just to climb stairs to doing weekend forest hikes with my teenage son (down 90 lbs!). He challenges me every session, but it's never past my ability to accomplish. He's understanding and fun and a master of exercise knowledge. I can't recommend him enough!

I now understand it's for members only however your staff did not have to be extremely rude. A simple "sorry ma'am" would have been sufficient. However the staff seemed angry and annoyed at the question and went off on me basically embarrassing me in front of gym members. My friend was sooooo embarrassed for me especially her paying a paying member and had to apologize on their behalf. Please train your staff to be polite. No need for the theatrics, they treated me like I was a criminal.

The fantastic and varied programming provided by Seth makes sure you're always challenged and pushed within your limits. The trainers, with their deep knowledge and passion to make all of us get the best from ourselves. They have so much experience and advice across a wide variety of movements, everything from Olympic lifting to gymnastics. The equipment, setup & environment is top notch. Getting access to the wider gym and its facilities while getting to do crossfit is a big upside and is very different from other gyms I've been to. To top it all of, unlike a lot of other crossfit gyms everyone is warm, fun and wants training to be a good time!! I'm so sad to have to say goodbye to these guys and the team at Virj. Keep being awesome!

Virj is great, simple as that…read more First, the coaching is excellent. Coaches are focused on form and technique. They are not pushing you to lift more than you are comfortable lifting, or more than you can lift with proper technique. They make sure that you're doing the workout safely so that you can come back tomorrow. The workouts are well thought-out and varied throughout the week. No muscle group gets ignored. That particular muscle group that you hate working on because it's your weakness? It gets taken care of. All workouts are presented in a tiered format so that members of all fitness levels and abilities have something to do. Exercises can be modified to help you improve. Struggling with pull-ups? They have bands to help you develop a base level of strength. The facilities are top-notch. Zum, the gym in which Virj is located, has a huge locker room with lots of showers. I've never had to wait to shower after class. And - everything is CLEAN. Lastly, the vibe of the class is great. This is a CrossFit gym full of folks who are interested in getting in shape and improving. It's not full of a bunch of grunting dudes trying to compete in the CrossFit games. I highly recommend it.

In a sweaty gym environment, I find this unhygienic and uncomfortable, as it creates unnecessary skin-to-skin contact and opportunities for germs to spread. It's also difficult to decline during class without feeling rude or out of place. I understand the intention is to foster a friendly atmosphere, but I respectfully ask instructors not to encourage physical contact between members. Some of us come to exercise, not interact physically with strangers, and would prefer this remain optional.

Let me start by telling you how wonderfully sore I am as I write this review. I recently attended…read moreone of Seattle Strength & Performance's small group trainings and could barely hold up my water bottle by the end of class. They worked me OUT. My first encounter with SSP was a Saturday morning Metabolic Conditioning class. For someone who doesn't really know her way around weights & equipment and was def more out of shape than the other folks there, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Everyone was SO friendly and made me feel like I was joining a community as soon as I walked through the door. Throughout the entire hour, Ro led our class of about 10-15 people through a series of high-intensity interval training workouts and made sure we were all appropriately pushed to our limits. Every exercise was super form-focused and accessible to different skill levels and abilities. I may have felt like I needed to vom and/or pass out a couple of times but, more than anything, I was v proud of myself for challenging my body. Since that class, I have returned and worked out with a number of the other trainers (Meg, Ana, and Jay) who are all equally attentive, encouraging, and just the best. The exercises they prepare are always tough, fun, and never the same. I never thought I'd be one to use kettlebells, TRX, and battle ropes but here I am, getting a little stronger every time I go to SSP. I often think about how miserable I was with my virtually nonexistent exercise routine about a year ago and am so glad that I found this gym. SSP is helping me love and prioritize my fitness again and I couldn't be more grateful!

The folks here are low-pressure but seem to adapt to what you want and what goals you are looking to achieve. I see all types and ages here. They have the traditional weights, kettle balls but go further with the various programs they offer. I am the fittest I have been in my life after just a few short weeks. This place is the best gym I have ever belonged to.

The classes are all very approachable with helpful instructors and I felt this way even about classes I was trying for the first time. I also appreciate that the gym has a lounge area with wifi that's good enough to take a work meeting on if you need to, and I've taken meetings there so I can have enough time to get a workout in before/after a busy day.

Each session burns 2-3 times the calories I would on my own, and the combination of coaching and camaraderie has been incredibly motivating. The coaches and peers push me to achieve far more than I could on my own. I've learned CrossFit movements I never imagined attempting, and my range of motion, flexibility, and strength have all noticeably improved. My only regret: Not joining sooner. The coaching here has been terrific. If you stick to a consistent schedule, you usually get the same coach, which is great--they get to know your strengths, weaknesses, and quirks, tailoring their guidance to help you grow. I'm especially grateful to Tony (the owner) and Jenny (evening classes during the week), whose focus on technique and functional movement has taught me so much. A special shoutout to Maia and PJ, two incredible coaches who supported me patiently through my early CrossFit days. Though they've since relocated, my sincere gratitude to them. If you're looking for a gym that will challenge and motivate you, this is the place to be.
