This is going to be lengthy so reader beware... Ive been training Crossfit for a year and a half now and am getting ready to head back home after an 11 day vacation in Everett, Wa so I decided to find a gym to train at while here. I tried to go to a globo gym and just do some strength work, but after getting a snide look from the employee after she found out I trained Crossfit I decided not to be a total idiot so I drove to Lynwood Crossfit. I was taken back by the welcome (this was my first class setting in a box) the community is great here. The owner, Jesse Ward, is a wealth of knowledge and experience. After recently passing my Level 1 Cert I was attentive to the coach/athlete dynamic and Jesse was a great example of how to be a great coach. An overwhelming amount of knowledge plus the experience of attending/teaching multiple certs around the world for Crossfit HQ makes Jesse and his classes the a great coach and place to train. If your in the area and even thinking about trying Crossfit or have been training for awhile, either way get out to Lynwood Crossfit

I was leery of gyms. I felt too out of shape. I e-mailed Locals Gym because I had seen others succeed there. I loved Jess’response, “Locals Gym’s focus is on teaching the fundamental, necessary functional movements to everyone, regardless of experience or current fitness level. CrossFits byline is "Forging Elite Fitness" this "forging" part is pretty critical, rather than using something like "recruiting the already fit and then saying our program works" as our byline.” Four months later, I can’t rave enough about the support and encouragement I have experienced from the staff and fellow Cross Fitters at Locals Gym. The “On Ramp” class is a great introduction course. This is NOT a place for pretty people that have it all together. It is NOT a place that will let you settle for monontonous activitites and mediocrity. It is a place that will challenge you physically and is scaled specifically for you. So, it doesn’t matter how old you are or how out of shape, Locals Gym is a place of encouragement, if you are up to the challenge.

Ive read a lot of negativity about Crossfit, in general. Things like coaches scream at you to work until you throw up, that CF promotes pushing yourself over proper form and technique, and that anyone can quickly and easily become a CF coach. These things might be true at some gyms, but at Lynnwood Crossfit (Locals Gym) none of this is true. The trainers expect you to scale your workouts based on your comfort level, your physical ability, as well as considering injury. I hurt my shoulder and it was quite difficult to do certain movements. My coach at Lynnwood Crossfit adjusted my workouts for months to accommodate my shoulder. Even when I thought I was ready, I was made to wait in order to protect it. At Lynnwood Crossfit, much attention is given to you getting movements correctly so that you can progress. Coaches here do not yell at you. Period. Workouts have always been scaled in order to avoid overdoing them If youre considering trying it out, this place is the best!

I started going to Locals gym almost a year now and I have NEVER belonged to such an AWESOME gym! The trainers are SUPER KNOWLEDGEABLE and encouraging along with every single person that attends! I love this gym also because it continues to challenge and teach me something new everyday. Also, I have had terrific results with my strength, stamina and improvement on skills I never thought I could improve on and aquiring new skills!! Oh, and also losing a good amount of weight in the process!! Also, never have I been in a gym with such a sense of camaraderie!! Usually if you go into another gym you feel cold and alone left to fend for yourself but not at Locals!! If there is any gym you wanna join it should be this one!!!

Just wanted to confirm all of the wonderful things that everyone has said in previous reviews. I have been going to Locals now for about 11 months, I am in the best shape of my life, I feel great, and I look forward to going to the gym. The class structure makes for an incredible support system. The people are very supportive, the trainers are great at scaling workouts to your level of fitness, whatever it is, and they are knowledgeable about things like nutrition as well as exercises and form. Added benefit is that there are no 2 year contracts to sign, so if you try the on-ramp (see website) and you dont like it, there is no obligation past that.

I love this gym and not because the owner is a bearded bad ass that looks kinda like a rounder version of Zeus King of the Olympic Gods of Greek Mythology. I love this place because no matter what Jesse finds a way to help me grow as person and increase my strength and mobility one rep at a time. He isnt just some guy who says do this workout no questions asked. He molds the workout to fit your needs which I find amazing since tons of people out there expect you to do something you might not be able to do. He works with the issues you might have with your mobility or any number of things and makes the workout work for you.

I have spent countless hours in big box gyms only to plateau every time, loss motivation and simply just not have fun. A friend recommended Crossfit and specifically Local’s Gym. It took me over a year to actually visit the gym given my skeptical nature. Since that first visit I have been addicted. At 42 years old I am more fit than ever and actually look forward to going to the gym as much as my body will allow. Quite simply, the combination of Crossfit, the experts at Local’s Gym and the motivation you get from top notch members WILL GET RESULTS and I guarantee you will have fun doing it!!!!!

The best fitness experience I can think of. And I mean fitness in the broadest sense - Jesse and the crew truly teach fitness in a way that you as a client get to feel like youre physically ready for anything. Of course the CrossFit programming is killer but he goes above and beyond to create an environment where strength, speed, agility, endurance, and power (and all the other domains that are escaping me) are all important, and my weaknesses are always given attention so they can get BETTER. If youre looking for a new box, this is it. Highly, highly recommend.

I started going to Locals gym over a year and a half ago and it is easily the best gym I have ever belonged to. There is a great sense of community at this gym. People are encouraging, support you during your toughest workouts and are just great people. Staff is awesome. The trainers really push you to new heights. Since I have started doing Crossfit there I have noticed a huge differences in my strength, stamina and naturally, my clothing size. Better than anything you can find at your regular corporate gym.

You could have called this place "Cheers" crossfit. Everyone there knows your name. They have it all. Great trainers who have actual certifications, and know how to train and motivate. The work outs are constantly varied but the atmosphere is always the same, challanging and encouraging. At this gym it doesnt matter if you are experienced or a "newbie" everyone is welcomed. Were all in this together! Come and try out the gym, you will have your eyes opened to a whole other way of getting fit.
