After trying multiple CrossFit locations, we settled on LWCF. Members are friendly and coaches provide coaching rather than just supervision. We have been coming for about 6 months now and definitely have been enjoying it! read more

Lake Washington CrossFit - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Coaches do a great job helping with technique and the community is awesome! You're missing out if you don't join!

The other half and I started here about 6 months ago after searching our area for a crossfit gym that we enjoyed as well as one that worked around our work schedules. We were introduced to LWCF from a friend because of their open concept, we come in when they are open and do the daily warm up, you can then choose to follow the coaches programming or your own. The start times for the WOD (workout of the day) vary depending on the length of the workout. They make it easy to come in and get a great workout done in 30 min or add additional work to make it longer. What makes this place so great is the coaches and athletes that train here. Everyone is there to cheer you on no matter what your fitness level is. The coaches provide great training as well as additional help with nutrition and strength training based on where you want to be as an athlete. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

LWCF is a great gym. I have been a member for about a year now. There is always something to improve on, since the workouts are always changing. Nick and Clark, the coaches are great. They are patient, and work with everybody on an individual basis. The gym has a fairly small member base, so almost everybody knows everybody. The open gym format is great too. Nothing worst than following a herd through all the exercises. And when you want to focus on one thing, you are free to dos. Bottom line, I recommend this gym. My only complaint is that they don't have a shower... read more

Nick and Clark do a great job with programming or workouts and general operation of this box. Both beginner and advanced athletes are well accommodated and it is a very friendly experience. One unique aspect there is the flex workout times. During peak hours a workout starts every half hour. During non-peak times a workout will run with even one person. So it easily fits into your schedule. read more

Awesome box! I dropped in here 3X while on business for the week. They gave me a good deal since I came more than once and was visiting. The WODs are challenging, the coaches definitely have the member's best interests in mind, and the members are the most welcoming & friendly I've met. If I lived in the area I would without a doubt make this my gym. read more

This gym is wonderful! I came from a gym with a great community and I was worried I wouldn't be able to find another one, but everyone here is so great and they're really focused on building a good community! They were so welcoming and I love all of the BBQs and other get togethers they throw outside of WODS, they even threw me a bachelorette party after I was only there a month. I've been here about a year now and I've definitely found my gym-home. The coaches are also excellent. They really make sure you have good form so you don't injure yourself. They're supportive and they'll push you, but they won't make you do anything you're not comfortable doing. There are all skill levels here, from beginner to advanced so you'll have someone you're comparable to. Finally, the OPEN HOURS are amazing! I used to hate being late to a class because of after work traffic. Now I don't even remember what that stress is like, I can roll in whenever works for me and I won't be late. If you're looking for a new gym, definitely drop in and give LWCF a try! read more

As an avid 'gym nut' and fitness fanatic, I have had the most fun in a long time at LWCF in my first 4 months now. Clark and Nick keep the workouts fun, motivating, and their encouragement is key of helping me get better, faster, stronger. What I love about LWCF vs. other Crossfit gyms is the "open" format - there aren't really set class/WOD times which is awesome for my hectic and ever changing schedule - I can come at any time that works for me, and know that my coaches will be there to start when I'M ready to go. The community at LWCF is super supportive, encouraging yet competitive, and adds great spirit which keeps me coming back. Love it! read more

Love love LOVE this gym! I was in Kirkland for a work trip this past week and was luckily staying within walking distance of Lake Washington Crossfit. I felt immediately at home and comfortable there and can honestly say I was pretty sad I could not become a full time member! Clark and Nick are two excellent, attentive coaches and have a built a really solid Crossfit gym/community. The open gym schedule they've got going also ROCKS - it makes total sense and worked out perfectly for my travel work schedule! read more

I love this place, the coaches (Nick and Clark) are awesome and are beyond helpful! They have an open gym concept which is uncommon for a crossfit gym. They're open all day so you're able to workout whenever is convienant for you. You get a lot of attention from the coaches and they make sure you understand and are comfortable with all movements and lifts. Check this place out, I highly recommend it! Don't be intimated, even if you're new to the crossfit world or fitness period they're able to scale all workouts to accommodate all skill levels! read more

I joined LWCF after about 4 years at a different CF gym, and I couldn't be happier with the change! Whether you are just starting your fitness journey or are a veteran crossfitter, the super warm, respectful, and welcoming coaches will have you feeling at home in no time. My favorite thing about LWCF is the flexible class schedule, you won't find that anywhere else! Finally, the programming is very thoughtful and effective. You truly can't go wrong with choosing LWCF, give it a go! read more

I was recently visiting my sister in Kirkland, WA and figured I would drop in to a few CrossFit gyms in the area. I decided to start with LWCF. Upon my arrival, I was immediately welcomed and shown the gym and explained how everything worked in their gym. I felt completely at home because the environment is so friendly and welcoming! Needless to say, this is the only CF gym I ended up visiting in my week long trip in Kirkland, because this place is just that awesome and I didn't want to miss out! I LOVE their open schedule layout and that they make it one of their rules to welcome and say hi to every member that visits the gym. The WODs were also awesome and challenging as well. I recommend this place if you are in the area, I wish we had a gym like this near me! read more

I'm 50+ and wanted to try Crossfit just to alternate with hot yoga,...and I talked to a number of gyms before I decided on Lake Washington Crossfit. It all starts with Nick and Clark. They are really fun, super knowledgeable, positive, and they listened to my concerns...#1 - not to get injured, and helped me adapt to what worked for me. And, they are the only Crossfit with an open schedule, so you can just drop in and do your workout when it works for you. The members were friendly and focused. Generally I was in and out in 30 minutes, feeling great. It's been an awesome experience, and I highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

This gym is great! I have never had such a positive experience when it comes to exercise. The coaches are both so enthusiastic you can't help but be motivated to work hard. They spend a lot of time with each person, so you are comfortable with the movements and safe from injury. I joined about six months ago and have seen amazing results. All the members are really friendly and encouraging. I can't wait to see how far I can get in the next six months! read more

Hands down best (crossfit) gym on the eastside. Beyond having amazing workouts the way the coaches treat their members is basically the best customer service I've ever received from any company. The amount of attention they pour into each of their members astounds me. They're always looking out for your safety and finding creative ways to modify the workouts to match where each individuals skill levels are at. Shoot them an email, schedule your first workout for free, and the first time in you will understand why I wrote this review. And no I do not work for them this is just how satisfied I am with Lake Washington CrossFit. If someone actually does check them out because of this review tell them Josh Gunkler sent you! read more

Have you read or heard about CrossFit being only for strong athletes who are already in great shape? Well, I am proof that's not true! I was diligent in researching and choosing a CrossFit gym in Kirkland where I would feel comfortable as a beginner, and that careful research is definitely paying off. This summer, after years of on-again-off-again attempts to get back in shape, I got fed up and walked in to LWCF where Coaches Clark and Nick have continued to (patiently!) work with me, and I am so glad that I did! It has been one of the best decisions of my life. A few things stood out for me in choosing LWCF: (1) ability to get to the gym around my work schedule given LWCF's "open gym" concept, and (2) emphasis on coaching for all, regardless of athletic skill or fitness level. I was also pleasantly surprised by the amazingly welcoming, encouraging and supportive community at LWCF - I work out with the most awesome people. If you're intimidated by CrossFit, don't be - I honestly can't tell you that it's easy (it's supposed to be hard and test/push you), but you have to start somewhere and the wonderful coaches at LWCF make it doable for all of us. I love LWCF! read more
