Ballard CrossFit was my bodys home base for 5 years. I tried out a few other CrossFit gyms, and this is hands down the best. The major difference for me is the staff. They keep athletes safe, challenge you just enough to go beyond what you think youre capable of, and really care about building a community of camaraderie, support, and fun. Before I tried CrossFit, I wasnt sure it was for me. Im so glad a friend invited me to do the beginning series with him, because it led me to become the strongest and fittest Ive been in my life. I love the variety of disciplines that CrossFit combines - workouts always feel fresh, never boring, and I strengthened parts of my body I probably would have avoided on my own. No matter your level of experience, age, or how fit you appear to be, you will be both challenged and celebrated here. Beyond its regular classes, Ballard CrossFit has offerings to enhance nutrition, proper weightlifting technique, preparation for competitions, physical therapy, social gatherings, and more. Thank you for all that you do, and especially all that youve done for me and my health, Coaches Carlos, Erin, Joe, Brian, and Paige.

The coaches at Ballard CrossFit are awesome. Ive visited some "boxes" where the only thing that matters is how much effort the members put into their workout, or how much weight they can life. By contrast, the Ballard CF coaches are extremely concerned about (and knowledgeable about) correct form, safety in the gym, and getting a good (fun) workout without getting hurt. Ballard CF is also an extremely friendly place. Ive had memberships at some gyms where Ive never really met another member in any meaningful way. By contrast, the Ballard CrossFit coaches are great at making sure everyone knows each others names, they encourage and host social events, have frequent "partner WODs", and are extremely supportive of members outside activities. (Although not relevant to me specifically, I should note that Ballard CrossFit does offer some child care options as well.)

Of all the gyms Ive been to, Ive never found one that made me want to actually keep coming back day after day, month after month, and pretty soon Ill be saying year after year. This "box" is clean, it has a great set up, they offer lots of different skill classes to help the members grow in specific areas, offer childcare, and they even have yoga on Sundays! The coaches are extremely attentive and know when to challenge you to try something new and when to listen to your body to slow down. When I started I couldnt do a proper push up if my life depended on it, Ive been going 3x/week for the past year and now Im doing push ups, lifting more weight, and doing things with my body that I never dreamed I could do! Seriously, if youre into feeling good about yourself, do yourself a favor and come check this place out, I promise you wont be disappointed.

Ive never been a joiner, especially with athletics. But now I cant imagine working out alone. Its a great feeling to have people around you, grueling through the same workout, and high fiving each other when you finish. Ballard CrossFit has a camaraderie that is hard to beat. As for the nuts and bolts, they have a ton of class times so you never have an excuse for not showing up. The coaches are awesome -- encouraging, but sticklers on movement standards and making sure the members dont sacrifice safety for a faster time. The programming of the daily wod is great. They also have a weekly barbell club where you can get some extra work in on your Olympic lifting. So whether youre a seasoned CrossFitter or just looking to get started, Ballard CrossFit will meet you where are and help you to become the best athlete you can be.

I was visiting from out of town and staying in Ballard so I checked out Ballard crossfit. I joined Crossfit about 6 months ago and love the philosophy of functional movement and community at my box so was looking for something similar. I also signed up for the Open for the first time amd was nervous doing the first heat in a new box. Ballard crossfit was really responsive over email and very welcoming of me the day of. I was pretty nervous going into the open, but the coaches made me feel more at ease. My coach, Brian, was very helpful and encouraging during the workout. The group of folks there were also really great. Lots of cheering me on and congratulations after the workout. Definitely a great box to join or just drop into!! Thanks Ballard Crossfit!!

Ballard CrossFit actually makes getting your a$$ kicked fun, and coming to the gym has become so much more than just exercising. The workouts are constantly varied (making it always interesting and challenging) and they can be scaled to any level. The coaches are helpful and engaging, the space is CLEAN, well ventilated and bright. Members encourage each other and its very inclusive. There are lots of opportunities to grow as an athlete or if you prefer, just come and get in a good sweat. Its an easy place to make friends and be social. Paige, the owner will most certainly make you laugh, and super badass Carlos finds ways to encourage every individual to do their best.

I was not an athlete but wanted to be stronger and able to hike in the mountains and enjoy life. Notice, I say "was not" because now I am! Never in my life have I felt better about my body. Crossfit has helped my body and my mind! The coaches at this gym have been fantastic helping me learn proper form so I dont injure myself and encouraging all the way! My friends are all from this great gym! I love this group of people and am so glad I found Ballard Crossfit! Check out their "on ramp" program to get started. You wont regret it!

I worked out at Ballard CrossFit while I was in town for a week and was very impressed with both the facilities and staff. Though I did not take a class because I use my own program, they had everything I needed for weightlifting and accessory work and plenty of space to do it even while classes were going on. All of the instructors I spoke with were very friendly and helpful, as well as quite reasonable about pricing. I will definitely come back to Ballard CrossFit to train next time Im in town.

This is a place for fitness and for camaraderie! For someone who wasnt 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, Im still at it with a lot of the same people who were there at the beginning and even more friends whove joined since! Ballard Crossfit provides a fun environment and friendly community that keeps you going back everyday. Love this Crossfit family!

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 Ive seen coaches and members give is an experience in itself.

Excellent Crossfit gym! The trainers and gym owner were super friendly and helpful. They definitely accommodate members of varying skill levels. Ive 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! Its a great fit for beginners and seasoned competitors alike.
