I started going to classes at Crossfit Felix when my old gym was forced to close. The owners worked super hard to make the transition between gyms easy and convenient for me (and for the other folks moving from my old gym), and in general the owners are responsive, accommodating, and generous. The community here is also top notch. Everyone is very welcoming to people of all skill/experience levels, body types, and backgrounds. But while this is a great gym for folks that have never done crossfit before, the classes are still challenging enough for folks that are more experienced. P.S. Hot tip! Come to 7am class on Friday for coffee, donuts, and conversation with friends after class :) read more

I've been training with Crossfit Felix / Felix Athletics since 2018 on and off in various formats (full membership, class cards, drop in fees) First and foremost, doesn't matter which class I'm going to, I always get a warm welcome and a great community. Continued with a workout that both kicks my ass and simultaneously lets me feel satisfied, tailored to my skill level. When I show up regularly, I can always meet my fitness goals. The coaches never hang up on the minor details (eg. when I already have unlimited membership, I keep forgetting to sign up and they just always smile about it, and punch me into the system, this wasn't the case with every gym). When I'm late to the class and I can safely join the workout I've just alway welcomed to join in. This place makes the barrier to entry into your workout a breeze. I've tried CF gyms all across the US and EU and 90% of the time I had a positive experience in all of them, but Felix tops it all! And the best part whenever I come back to Felix, I can alway get my original rates back. read more

Hands down the best CrossFit gym I've ever been to, and the best coaching staff I've ever had the pleasure of working with! I've gotten to know the owner David over a handful of years and I love the days I get to take one of his classes or chat with him a bit, amazing human! I've tried about 5 or 6 CrossFit gyms in the area and the care the coaching staff gives to everyone in classes here, the beautiful space and equipment available, I will never go anywhere else as long as I'm living in the area. Worth checking out 100% :) read more

Walking into new CrossFit boxes can be intimidating, but CrossFit Felix immediately feels like home. From the second you step in, the welcoming energy is undeniable. The workouts are brutal in the best way--but that's exactly how it should be. The coaches are phenomenal: they anticipate what you need before you even know it, offer thoughtful cues, and somehow make the suffering fun. The community is warm, supportive, and ego-free. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or dropping in for the first time, you're treated like you belong. CrossFit Felix is now a non-negotiable stop anytime I'm in Seattle. read more

This is the CrossFit gym to drop into when visiting Seattle! We walked in and we're immediately welcomed by the owner/coach Dave and everyone there was super friendly. Had a great workout and will def drop in again! read more

CrossFit Felix - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Such a great gym--in Downtown Seattle! Super coaches: thank you Grant and. Carter. Appreciated your modifications and encouragements. Programming is so good; very challenging. The athletes are super nice AND: dogs can be found here! I had the best situation: here for work, stayed at the nearby The Sound Hilton hotel on 4th; Felix is literally up on the next block: on 5th. A simple short walk, plentiful times to workout. Gym is clean, spacious, accessible. Can't wait to return for work: I'll be here at crossfit Felix anytime in Seattle! read more

Did a drop in here while visiting from out of town; everyone was very friendly and welcoming.

I can see why this place gets so many positive reviews. I have been coming to Felix since December 2022 and been loving the experience. I am not a CrossFit guy, and at Felix that is okay. The programming is doable and if you can't do it they provide many alternatives. The owner, Izzy (David) is the heart of the place as he greets you with a big welcoming smile every time to enter the gym. As your returning to the office, if your looking for a fun, convenient, and solid gym - this is your place. The community is diverse, accepting, and supportive. I've been able to make significant achievements in my fitness journey thanks to David and Felix. He will be your hype person and get you moving. read more

I was in Seattle last week on a business trip and decided to do a drop in at this awesome CrossFit gym. The people at the gym were extremely friendly and the coach I had a pleasure of meeting was super cool. He even let me choose the music since it was my first time at the gym! The people at the gym are extremely fit and you can tell that it's due to the programming being . I burned 700 calories in a 1 hr workout which is amazing! I will be coming back next time I am in town. If you are debating checking out this gym, you should do it. If I lived in the area I would have signed up to be a member! read more

I haven't been to any crossfit gym before and decided to try Felix' on-ramp class. After a few rescheduling due to COVID mandate, finally I could begin my class this month with coach David, also the gym owner. All I can say is WOW! This is definitely a fantastic on-ramp class that teaches everything from the basic to highly technical movements. David is patient, professional and highly skillful in teaching. I could never dream of doing Olympic weight lifting but after the class I could do it! Every class I learnt new things and came out of the class feeling the sense of great achievements, and look forward to the next class. The class also helps tremendously to correct my form that I usually do in traditional gym, such as push-ups, back squat and deadlift. I cannot wait to join their regular classes after finishing the on-ramp class. One thing worth mentioning is due to COVID, the on-ramp class was rescheduled several times and David gave each of us 50% refund, and some people dropped out who received full refund. So eventually it is a 3 week private class with only 5 students, for $50/pp. What a steal and on the other hand I deeply appreciate the professionalism of the gym in honoring the enrollments. A big thumb up! read more

I've been a member at Felix for about 2 years. I love the community here and the programming is always great. The owner Izzy is great, always greeting everyone with a smile, makes the class very fun with his sense of humor and is a great coach. Highly recommended! read more

I'm 2 months into crossfit (3 weeks of onramp and now a little over a month in the general population) so I speak from more of a group-x, former runner, etc background. Things I love: - The onramp class gives you some basic skills and a little conditioning (emphasis on skills) to enter the general classes. I'd read a lot of blog posts describing people's initial experiences of crossfit involving puking and being so sore they could not shampoo their own hair. I was thankful for a more mellow intro to a new form of fitness. They keep the intimidation factor low. - The transition from onramp into the general population was SCARY and I wasn't sure I was ready. But I've been pleased with how welcoming the coaches and other members have been. - Every workout is different. The coaches coach, and make corrections to your form, and push you. - There is an emphasis on mobility, stretching, and other "maintenance" that is easy to overlook. - The community: you'll see newbies still figuring it out and also serious, dedicated, athletes, performing incredible feats of strength. They come in all sizes and shapes. I'm inspired by the more experienced folks and appreciate that I'm not the only one just starting out. It's a good mix. People are happy to see you. And notice when your not there. There are dogs, and babies, and people doing their own thing too. People cheer each other on, play around with movements they are working on. It's just different than even the most congenial gym I've attended in the past. A focus on strong, not skinny-- is awesome. No gimmicky lines or encouragement to fit into your summer bikini to be found. Things I don't love: - Still waiting to come up with something to put here. Seriously-- Crossfit Felix is great, and very much worth the price of admission. Izzy cares so much about the experience of his members, and that spirit shines through at all times. I shied away from CF for a long time-- concerned about the intensity, getting injured, and joining a cult. My only regret is waiting so long to give it a shot. read more

This gym is great - the people are friendly, the classes are challenging, and the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive. The gym owner David is amazing - definitely check out Felix, it's worth it! read more

My girlfriend and I were in Seattle and decided to drop in Crossfit Felix. We were met by David, the owner, and he immediately made us feel welcome. I could tell right away how knowledgeable he was as a coach and learned so much in just one class. He was funny and even provided some good places to eat in the city. The gym is one of the nicest I've seen. It's clean, spacious, organized, and the equipment is maintained and up to date. I'll definitely be back the next time in Seattle. Thank you David! read more

Amazing experience from the get go! We were visiting from out of town and the owner greeted us immediately and made us feel at home. Great coaching and great class. Highly recommend dropping into this box for a great workout and great staff. Will be coming back for sure! Thank you for the hospitality!! read more

One of the best gyms that I've ever been too! Everyone from Izzy(owner), to the staff and other gym members are really friendly, supportive, and inviting. They offer a wide variety of times and classes for their members. Sometimes when you show up later in the morning (8am-9am) section it would just be you and the coach. Crossfit felix also offers a bunch of cool services like a shower, and free fruit for its members which is really nice after a hard WOD. I started crossfit by completing their month long on ramp classes and from there would participate in their WODs about 2-3 times a week. Izzy and the staff here really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable doing the exercise and they do take the time to check in on you. They showed me how to tape my hands to prevent them from scaring and gave me a bunch of tips on the exercises I was doing so I could use better form. Coming here isn't just about getting a work out, it's about building a community and having fun. read more

I went through on-ramp one-on-one with Jonathan and I can't say enough good things about working with him. As someone who had taken a pretty long hiatus from working out and was new to Crossfit (I used to run), I was a little unsure if I would feel comfortable and safe in the intensity of Crossfit workouts. With Jonathan, there was nothing to worry about. Each session started with a challenging, but manageable warm-up, after which he would give me an in-depth explanation and demonstration of a new movement or lift. He would then coach me on my form as I practiced with zero or minimal weight, and then give me a mini workout through which I could practice the new skill. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable, prepared, and skilled at teaching new Crossfitters, Jonathan made it fun. I'll be coming back often! read more

Did two workouts here this week as a drop-in. Both coaches I worked with were great. Helpful without being overbearing. They pushed effort but also demanded correct form. I really liked the programming. Very similar to my box at home. Great vibe with everyone there. I felt incredibly welcome. If I lived in Seattle, this is the place I would do my WODs. read more

I've been at Crossfit Felix for 6 months now after taking a couple year break after I finished college. I've been to maybe a dozen gyms and this is my favorite for sure and here is why: -The WODs The workouts are very challenging for all skill levels, from the beginners to the experts everyone has the opportunity to push and grow. I've noticed I'm always learning and adjusting to get better each day. Some classes in the evenings can get pretty full but there are also smaller classes so if you have a preference you can probably find something that works for you. -The SPACE The space its self is very large, open type of floor plan. The older photos before 2017 are out of date as they have taken down many walls to expand the space to make it larger so everyone can have enough space. TV on the wall with the WOD posted in 2 places in the space. (I have bad eyes and love this because sometimes it's easier to not think and just look at the WOD vs try and remember the count etc.) Also just a note on location, I live on cap hill and drive very often and I always find a spot right in front or on Bell st. I was expecting parking to bother me and I was very surprised how easy it was to find a spot. read more

Dropped into this box while on vacation. I usually try to hit up a couple of different boxes while out of town for variety (and multiple shirts for souvenirs) but I liked this box so much I went to it for both of my wods while in town. They offer 6, 7, 8, and 9 am classes compared to the other box I considered which only had 6 and 7...hey I was on vacation and wanted to sleep in! Box is a good size, super clean, with lots of equipment. Community was super nice and not intimidating...coach did a great job on demos and scales for the wods. Their shirt selection was great too! As a crossfit coach myself, I would highly recommend this box to anyone considering joining or dropping in. read more

The best place to ever be. It's been close to a year and I like it every bit here. Izzy is the best and makes you feel at home. All the trainers are awesome. read more

It's great place to drop in, very nice ,helpful and in formative. Coach Ron was great, keeps everything moving. Highly recommended and thank you read more

Best box in Seattle. Actually no, the best box I've worked out at in the country. This place feels like home. Great coaches who give personal attention to your fitness goals and are willing to work with you if you are ready to put in the effort and hard-work. The coaches at felix actively monitor your form during the WODs and work with you personally in order to help you perform the workouts safely. Also, before every WOD, they demo the movements for you in order to ensure everyone understands the movements. You cannot find another box in Seattle which welcomes you the way Felix does. Also, to top it off, the box is open all 7 days of the week. I've been WODing at felix for a year and I can proudly say that I feel stronger like never before. Thank you to David Israel (Izzy) for being such a great coach and a friend. What are you waiting for! Come WOD with us at Felix and you will not regret it :-) read more

Did a few drop ins this week while traveling for work and I'm so glad I found this place. Signed up without hassle and was welcomed by all the coaches and members. I liked that there were members of all fitness levels and the wods are very scalable. Unpretentious and effective. Wish all boxes were like this. read more

It is shameful to give CrossFit Felix anything less than five stars. I'll tell you why: I am a corrective exercise specialist by trade, as well as a CrossFit level one trainer. I have been to nearly every single CrossFit box in town, because I am constantly seeking knowledgeable trainers to help me in my quest for skill development. I love CrossFit. But due to a nearly complete lack of accountability by CrossFit HQ, the box is only as good as the head trainer. And Izzy is the best in the business. My criteria? I have been trying and failing to get a muscle up since my certification course in January 2012. This, to me, is the Holy Grail of CrossFit movements. Since I couldn't even do a single pull up when I started my fitness journey 18 months ago, I pretty much gave up on the possibility. I even had some coaches tell me as much! The story - Some friends of mine were dropping in here on their lunch break and invited me along. I agreed. My first impression was that this must be a million dollar venture - everything is name brand, state-of-the-art, new, clean ... You get the idea. If someone asked you, "design your ideal CrossFit gym" this is what it would look like. Despite its sheer size, the decorum is still warm and inviting, with plenty of intimate space. Izzy keeps fresh fruit stocked, there's community beer in the fridge, an awesome lounge, plenty of locker space, a shower, it's like a home away from home - in the middle of Belltown no less! So the WOD began. Muscle ups were called for. "Bummer," I thought. "You don't have your muscle ups?" Inquired Izzy, "let's see your chest-to-bar." I performed the requested movement. "Oh, you're going to get a muscle up. Today!" He said. Five minutes of instruction later, I was proudly above the rings at long-last! He was so confident in his coaching ability that he started filming my attempts straight away so I could have a keepsake of my proud moment. I was just a stranger to him, but he took a personal, vested interest in my development. I have since come to admire him as, not only a small business owner, but a community organizer. He attends all events in the area, even personally hosts the Elysian Games, which I am now ready to compete in, and has an open door policy to aspirants and experts alike. Izzy is the true embodiment of the charitable, can-do, CrossFit spirit that makes the sport so attractive in the first place. So, if you go there and happen to have a bad experience, tell Izzy (before you go on Yelp like a princess) and it won't happen ever again. His business philosophy is service-forward and he makes sure your needs are met first and foremost. He's constantly striving to evolve, improve, and provide a better value to his clients. (Case-in-point: free yoga classes. Constant fitness challenges with top-notch prizes. Fun social events.) If you're looking for a CrossFit family, you owe it to yourself to take a look at Felix! read more

I'll admit that I only went here one morning and what i know is based on that experience, along with some input from my good friend who has gone for a few weeks. I've never done Crossfit. I dropped in at a 6am class on a Wednesday and based on what I've researched, I was expecting friendly staff and strong camaraderie with the other attendees. I expected they would welcome me, ask me a few questions about my experience, and allow me to participate at some level. Given that I showed up without emailing or calling first, I can understand that they didn't plan on my arrival and they didn't have much time for an introduction. Even so, when I showed up I wasn't greeted at all...I introduced myself and the Asian lady running the workout didn't say hi or ask me anything, she just pointed me to the locker area and asked me to put my stuff down and sign the forms. Another gentleman was doing a separate training with two people who were new. The lady seemed annoyed that I was going to be in her class and given that it was my first time, she passed me off to the guy. He was nice and enthusiastic - he introduced himself and introduced me to the other two but he also seemed annoyed that I was an unplanned participant in his class. He seemed to think I didn't need the form training and could have done the full class. We went over form with upper body lifts and cleans. He seemed to know his stuff very well and was encouraging. Overall it was a good learning experience but I walked out feeling unwelcome and I was annoyed that they didn't take the time to ask me anything. I could have just said I had lifting experience and I'm sure they would have thrown me right in...even though I've had recent injuries - they wouldn't have known. I'm sure people who go here have great experiences...my friend likes it. But they should take time to be more friendly, careful, and attentive to new people...maybe they do normally but if you are going to go here, I'd send an email or call first so they don't get annoyed. read more

I dropped into Crossfit Felix this week on two separate occasions and I can't say enough about this place. I instantly felt like I was now part of the family. Tracy is an incredible coach and Izzy is just a great guy with a staunch record of serious hospitality. I've dropped into 7 or 8 different boxes in a short period of time and I can say that if I ever moved to Seattle, I'd make it a point to live as close to this place as possible so that it was my home gym. I can't say that about any other box I've visited. they've all been great, but this one is exceptional. Plus now I have killer rope technique..I'll never forget where I learned it. Thanks Tracy! read more

I dropped into CrossFit Felix yesterday to wod with a couple of friends who workout there. I was thoroughly surprised with the amount of amazing space they had in downtown Seattle! It was an awesome facility and they had top notch equipment. The coach was amazing! In just an hour, she helped me grasp the J hook for rope climbs and finally made it click for me with butterfly pull-ups! All the while teaching the 20 person class new skills and techniques and making sure to break down all the movements for the newbies. This is a great box and anyone living or working downtown should check it out. read more

CrossFit Felix has unequivocally changed my life. Nearly every day I test my physical and mental limits with the camaraderie of some of the sweetest, most supportive (and bad ass) people I have had the privilege of meeting since moving to Seattle last year. I had always been allured by the concept of CrossFit but continually managed to find an excuse for not trying it. Fed up with a lackluster, monotonous fitness regimen and the shackles of working a 9-6pm sedentary job, I finally pushed myself to take the plunge. I began my journey with Felix as an on-ramp student. Once our basic skill set was honed, we integrated seamlessly into the regular classes, working on strength refinement and WODs alongside all sorts of athletes, elite, amateur, and all outstanding. Coaches are top notch. Energy is ablaze. Gym aesthetics/equipment are sick (like freakin rad). WODs are brutal (in the best way). My body and my sprit have transformed because of this place. If I could give it 6 stars, bet your buns I would. read more

As a longtime crossfitter and a frequent traveler... I LOVE dropping in to new boxes. CrossFit Felix is hands down one of the best I've ever dropped in on... First, the facility, while smaller than what I'm used to back east, is perfect. They are a "big box" in a city sized space. Equipment and space is plenty! Second, the people. Everyone was so friendly and so welcoming. The afternoon crowd was a blast, I could see myself being fiends with those people! And lastly, the coaches... amazing. The owner is one of the coolest dudes... AND not to mention he helped me with my pistols like no other coach ever has... I'm nearly going home with them in the bank! Thank you! I will definitely be back when I'm in town - ya'll rock, thank you! read more

Felix has that family feeling. The coaches are very knowledgeable and personable. Izzy is always improving the gym to get the best equipment. Located right downtown next to amazon. Love the people and the workouts. read more

Wonderful box!! I came to town for a couple of days and they took me in like family!!! The box is beautiful and great equipment! I have been to many Crossfit gyms around the United States and this was by far one of my favorites!! The coaching staff was very knowledgable and was very in depth w the level of instruction based on the class level of experience!! Loved that the coaches watched all athletes perform all of the movements and made sure the athletes understood the movements before rolling into the wod. I think another great part was the members. They took me in as part of their Felix family!!! If u are in Seattle and looking for a great place to wod or get some lifts in --- stop by and see Crossfit Felix!!!! read more

This is by far the best equipped box with the most accommodating owner in the downtown area. The owner who is an elf by the way brings about the most magical environment. An environment where you both feel capable and special. With all the negativity in this world it's pleasant to drop into an inspiring place that allows you to reach your goals. I focused on losing weight and have been able to drop 6 pounds in 23 days. Izzy the elf produces real results that seem magical but are measurable and real. You can check out the programming of other boxes but I assure you that disappointment at this box only lies within lack of effort, so get in there and ask for Izzy the Elf. read more

Went from no muscle up to 3 in a row!! Izzy saw me trying hard to pull one after a workout, walked up to me and walked me through the movement till I was able to do 3 in row. And its not just Izzy. Tracy and Jeff are great coaches. They know what they are doing and they really care, which is all you need. Plus the facility itself is great (very spacious, clean and new equipment) check out the virtual tour on their website. read more

I did the beginner class which is a 3 week program to get you to understand the basics of the CrossFit moves before you start doing the actual workout. It was overall really informative and I'm glad I did it. I've done weightlifting before and have always been a little dismissive of crossfit and was weary of the culture but getting to know those in class and the patience in training really changed my mind. Plus the hour went by super fast, the workouts were right up my alley and I appreciate that you can go at the pace that's right for you. Overall, highly recommended! read more

Felix is my favorite crossfit gym. I have just finished their on ramp program. There are so many things that are amazing about this place. The instructor Izzy is very passionate. He seems to be someone who loves to teach people. He has great sense of humor and make work outs really fun. The ambience of this place is fabulous. Compared to regular gyms where no body gives a shit what you do. Here other people in your class are super supportive. They will cheer you up and give that little push to go extra mile. read more

CrossFit Felix - Pull-up rig - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

It has been a long time since I did CrossFit, and as a visitor to Seattle, CrossFit Felix made me feel right at home. A friend brought me to the gym, and while I was initially a bit nervous about the workout, the instructors were careful to demonstrate all of the required movements and ensure that everyone was using proper form. Safety was definitely a top priority. I left the first workout feeling totally spent because they push you! I came back for a second workout, and the instructor was pushing through a broken foot to lead the class. That's dedication! Even so, he provided really individualized attention to all students - correcting form on squats, and really encouraging everyone to push hard. I definitely recommend this gym - it's a 100% positive and encouraging atmosphere for anyone who wants a fun, dynamic, and challenging workout. read more
