Had a great time dropping in. This will be my home away from home gym when I'm in Seattle. Programming was fun and hard!!! Thanks for having me. Schedule is great and if you can't make a class the open gym times are awesome with the front of the gym designed just for that. read more

I've only been inside a few boxes (CrossFit aka CF uses the term 'box' for 'gym') and most are known for grittiness or clean simplicity. This is a BEAUTIFUL space in West Seattle. The owner, Bethany, used to be an instructor at my current box; and I owe a great deal to her. Because of her knowledge and positive (yet constructive) feedback while I plowed through my first uncoordinated months of CF, I can say that I am fitter than I've been in years. Hell, I'm fitter than I was when I DID think I was fit. First, you should know that I had become a blob before I joined CF. Really. I got winded going up and down stairs and lugged around 50+ more pounds 1 1/2 years ago, so DO NOT WORRY about your fitness level. It's all scalable, and there are beginner classes to get you started if you're new. Boot camp on crack, is how I would describe CrossFit. You do team workouts, individual workouts but in a team environment, you go for personal records (PR's) from anything to running, to weights, to completing a particular workout in x amount of time. I don't think I've done the same exact workout in a year and half yet! Check out LOFT's website for their hours, fees and WODs (Workout of the Day) as I've only been here once. But, it is helpful for you to know that the entrance is in the alley BEHIND the building. (That poor consignment store lady; she was so friendly in directing people back around the building. I must remember to go and check out her store.) LOFT has lots of street parking around, and they have a small lot in the alley. This place has all the CF amenities you would expect, including a pretty high-up rope! Super-secret tip for any CrossFitter: always wear/bring long socks with you, in case of rope climbs and dead-lifts. No rope burns/scraped-up shins, k?) Aaaaand the people here are super-cool; the community, while growing, is small enough that you get to know people from different boxes all the time. It's how we grow the cult... ...Kidding. Despite what you've heard, you only have to sacrifice ONE baby goat to become part of a box. As I've said before, WOD ON! read more

This is a great CrossFit gym! I've always wanted to try CrossFit and after doing some research thought Loft would be a good place to start. I was told by a local chiropractor that he doesn't see very many injured athletes coming from this box compared to others in the area. They emphasize form and technique, while also never pushing you to do something you are not safely ready for. Ariel took me through my intro workouts and then I started in the CrossFit classes. I've taken Brian, Dave, Meghan, and Bobby's classes. All are great and very patient with explaining movements. Bobby is awesome and if CrossFit had spirit animals, I think I would want him to be mine. The classes cap at 14 and you can reserve through the app. Your performance is all tracked electronically and can be seen on the app and compared with the other gym members. There are tons of class options throughout the day and they also have HIIT training classes too. I find the early morning crowd gets down to business and is in/out quickly to move on with their days. The late afternoon sessions tend to have a more lively and social crowd. Everyone is super supportive of each other and over all this place has good vibes. Oh, and there always seems to be friendly well behaved dogs around which is super rad. read more

Top notch gym! Everything you would need in a gym and more. It's awesome to have options other than CrossFit classes if you want to mix it up. They offer HIIT classes, yoga, olympic weightlifting, and strongman. It's also great to have open gym all day where you can do extra work or your own programming. The community, coaches, and staff are really what elevate Loft above other gyms. You'll be taken care of no matter what fitness background/level you're currently at. Have fun while getting fit. Highly recommend! read more

I'm coming up on my THREE year anniversary at CrossFit Loft and I am so embarrassed that I haven't written a review yet in all this time. There are a lot of things that make this gym special to me. First, it's the general community. If you've ever lived in West Seattle, you'll know what I'm talking about. There's a real genuine and neighborly sort of vibe here that I've not found in other areas of the city. And that's the feeling that you'll get at this gym. We have athletes of all abilities and it's a very supportive environment. You don't have to worry about "being fit enough to CrossFit" before coming here. The programming is another favorite aspect of this gym. Between regular CrossFit programming (usually some mix of metcon and lifting), Olympic lifting, HIIT bootcamp, Strongman, yoga, mobility, nutrition coaching, teens and kids classes, as well as open gym (supervised by a coach), there are so many options. And the coaches will push you, but never beyond what you're capable of. I feel safe when I'm here. Finally, most impactful for me, beyond the people and the programming, is that this is a space that has lifted me to be a better, more complete version of myself. I try things now that a past-me might not have. I now know it's okay to say yes to myself. I have confidence that I never had before. So I guess what I'm saying is, if you're looking for this kind of gym, it's here. :) read more

As someone who hadn't yet done Crossfit I joined feeling a bit nervous and anxious about the gym/people/classes. The staff here put me at ease allowing me to ramp up at my own pace and in a safe manor (big focus on doing things the RIGHT way here). Going on 6 months I can't imagine being anywhere else. Aside from the gym aspect the sense of friendship and community is strong. If you are considering joining the Loft, jump in, you won't regret it. read more

I joined the Loft after going to another crossfit gym for 6 years. I loved the people and my friends at my old gym, so I was nervous about joining a new community and finding "my place" within it. The Loft and all the members/coaches/staff have been so amazing and I have gained a whole new group of lifelong friends. Not to mention, the Loft is SUPER supportive and inviting to my friends from the old gym. I've had my friends (that still go to other gyms) come and watch our intramural-style Crossfit Open workouts on Fridays (seriously SO FUN!) and the Loft management/coaches/members are super welcoming and go out of their way to make everyone feel welcome, even though they aren't members. Besides the amazing and fun community, the Loft has a TON to offer its members. They have open gym ALL DAY from 5am-9pm, with a coach that is there to help you in whatever it is you want to work on. Sometimes if classes are small, it's basically personal training that is no additional cost to members. They also have a ton of other class options like normal crossfit, strongman, olympic weightlifting, bootcamp/hiit classes, yoga, and mobility. Between open gym and all the classes offered throughout the day, you really have no excuse for not making it into the gym. They are also open on Sundays, which was a huge bonus for me. Additionally, the coaching staff is amazing. Everyone has bad days here and there, but the coaches are extremely professional and you would never know if they were having a tough day. They are always respectful, positive, and willing to help, no matter what is going on in their personal lives. I truly feel like a respected and valued member of this community. Additionally, I have developed my skills and grown so much as an "athlete" because the coaches take time to break down the movements to help build skills based on your current fitness/ability level. The Loft is a great community and I am so happy I made the switch to be part of it. read more

I was introduced to crossfit at Crossfit Loft, and I was one of those people that hated on the sport at first. Loft totally changed my mind and now I love it! This place has great coaches, an active community of all skill levels, and excellent, balanced programming. Whether you are a total newbie or aspiring competitor this gym has something to offer you, from the Loft Lite on ramp program to extra coaching/programming to help you reach your goals. The schedule has the most options of any gym I know of, with classes all day (5am-8pm), lots of open gym times all week, as well as Olympic lifting, mobility, and strongman classes. read more

Loft Fitness - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This is the first gym I've been able to stick with and actually look forward to going to! I had a little bit of background in olympic lifting, but that was from a time when I was in shape. Fast forward 10 years and nothing about me even suggested something that was in shape. I went to the free class to check it out and immediately signed up for their intro series. As much as I enjoyed the intro series, what made me stick with this gym was the excellent coaching and how friendly everyone was. No matter the workout the coaches will work with you to scale the workout to your level and help you with any movements you're uncomfortable with. From my first real class everyone was super welcoming and friendly, and I never felt uncomfortable about how out of shape I was. The amount of cheering and support here is amazing. Life happens and whether it's deadlines at work, illness, injury, etc. I've never had any issues putting my membership on hold, they make the process so easy and painless. Overall I think this place is amazing and I highly recommend it to anyone that's looking to get into CrossFit! I've been coming since February and I plan on coming for as long as I live in West Seattle. read more

Absolutely wonderful crew of amazing people. The community at Loft is unlike any other.

Welcoming coaches and athletes. If you have done crossfit for years or never stepped foot in a Crossfit before, this is for you! so many class options all day from 5AM to 8PM, including: Crossfit, Olympic lifting, Strongman, HIIT, Yoga, Open gym! so many people have told me they feel nervous or intimidated going into a Crossfit gym... not here, you will have expert coaching and everyone to comfort and encourage you! read more

The coaches and community are some of the most amazing people I have met. The staff is professional and always supportive of your fitness/life goals. The schedule has the most options of any CrossFit box i've been to with lots of options such as olympic lifting, strongman, yoga, competitive programming, goal setting, etc etc. read more

I love the variety of classes that are offered. The new HIIT class is perfect for me and has given me more confidence in myself to try more of the classes offered. The community is amazing, you join a family who cares about your health and you to reach your goals as much as you do! read more

It's fair to say I'm getting on a bit, so starting CrossFit seemed a bit daunting and I had all the qualifications NOT to start cross fit, a) more than one grey hair b) introverted c) icky shoulder etc so when I went for my free introductory session I was ready to turn round before even got through the door. What a mistake that would have been ! The staff there were ready for me (knew my name) , made me feel super comfortable as they showed me round the facility, everything was fully explained including the workouts, how to modify them if needed ( and I need too ) and all the pieces of equipment. There was a series of classes I had to take before they turned my lose into the WoD's and each class was extremely informative, with the coaches taking their time to correct form or explain the movements. I haven't been there that long but haven't had a bad workout yet, I love the way they do intro's at the beginning of each class and there is so much variety in the workout's they have an excellent HIIT program and even allow our furry friends to attend (although I haven't tried this yet). At first the pricing may seem a bit high (CF seems like that) but there is so much more to this gym you can't put a price on it ! read more

Whether you are a CrossFit veteran or checking it out for the first time, you can't go wrong here! There is such a welcoming sense of community and the coaches really know their stuff. You'll find folks of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels and the workouts are scalable to be both achievable and challenging to your own skill level. I was a complete novice when I joined and often find myself lifting the lightest weight in the room or doing the beginner level of a workout but I never feel uncomfortable about it. The coaches are always there to help out with technique and to answer questions. The other members are friendly and encouraging and cheer each other on. It's really a great place and definitely worth checking out! read more

Been at Loft for 2+ years now and love it. This is by far the best gym I have ever belonged to. The coaching staff and community are outstanding. They have a variety of classes (crossfit, HIIT, yoga, strongman, weightlifting, mobility) to choose from and a wide range of class times to fit a busy schedule. They staff is always willing to help you reach your fitness goals whether that be performance, nutrition, or recovery. read more

I started CrossFitting in 2013 at a different box in town and joined Loft when I moved to West Seattle in 2016. I definitely felt some anxiety and trepidation about coming to a new gym, but the community at Loft welcomed me with open arms. The variety of class times is super convenient and the small classes ensure that you get some individual attention every WOD. To me, CrossFit has been about pushing myself to do things I never thought I could but in a safe and sustainable way, and I have definitely done that at Loft. read more

I look forward to going to the LOFT every time I leave work to head there. Working out at home or at another regular gym could never compare to the experience of membership here. The LOFT not only offers constantly challenging and fresh workouts, it offers a place of support and community. read more

Hands down one of the best Crossfit Gym's I have been to. It is clearly evident the owners take a great pride in ensuring the gym operates as efficient as possible and that their clients get the best experience possible. Another huge component of what makes this gym so amazing is the involvement from the coaches. The knowledgeable coaching staff offers a wide variety of experiences and are always engaged with the athletes to ensure they have the best experience possible...great owners + great coaches + great equipment + great community = Awesome gym!! read more

My friend encouraged me to try CrossFit after she had been doing it for several years. I had no lifting experience prior to this, so I was nervous to go. The coaches were absolutely amazing--patient, understanding, caring and knowledgeable. I ended up liking the class, so I decided to become a member at the Loft. Almost two years later, I'm in the best shape I've ever been and am going four-five times per week. You're guaranteed to make a new friend because the community isn't comparable to any other. People who have ever spoken to you before will cheer you on and dance around when you get a new PR. If you haven't done CrossFit before, are just looking to stop by or want to get back into it, definitely go here. read more

I wish that each coach here at CrossFit Loft had a place to Yelp. I would give them all stellar reviews and 5 stars!!! They are amazing!!! So I have been "working out" for about 20 years. My workout routine has varied from strictly "lifting", to doing the cardio/lift combo, and to running marathons. I was getting pretty bored of the routine so a couple of years ago, I decided to try crossfit at a different CF. Not to discredit the prior CrossFit location, the people and coaches were nice, but it seemed that more of the attention was given to the "advanced athlete." Moreover, I did not feel as though I got much of a workout there. I went through their intro classes and felt okay with the movements, but never felt good about the Olympic lifting (not that they ever had a WOD with an Olympic lift...but this review is about the LOFT not the other location). Fast forward a couple of years of more running and some lifting. My physical therapist friends were always voicing their concern of how "tight" I have gotten from all of the running and lifting I have done without any attention to mobility and form. They recommended yoga, so I tried that and though it was nice, I never felt as though I got a workout and with kids and work, I have limited time. I thought about trying crossfit again, but I did not want to have the same experience I had in the past. A friend that goes to CrossFit Loft, told me that he was having an amazing time and that I should give CrossFit Loft a chance. So about three weeks ago I started and all I can say is that these coaches are LEGIT!!! I have had Chelsea and Bethany as coaches several times and have had Brandon, Andrew and Annie a few other times. They genuinely encourage you, make sure that you are doing the lifts correctly, stop you when you are doing it wrong and do not push you to try something that you are not ready for...even though you may think that you are ready. These coaches really coach you during the workouts! I have no idea who does the programming (design the workouts) but it has been great. They tailor everything to everyone's ability. I walk in look at the workout and think that it is going to be impossible to do, but the modify it for your level. Even after the modification, the coach will come over and adjust it further to make sure that your form and movements are correct. Did I say that they have awesome coaches? If you ever thought about just trying CrossFit because you heard about it, saw it, or whatever it may be--try CrossFit Loft. The coaches are seriously great and know what they are doing. They will work with you regardless of how in or out of shape you are. I have been going to the 5:00AM workouts...yeah 5:00 in the morning!!! It's that good!!! read more

I'm extremely impressed with the experience I've had since joining Crossfit Loft. The trainers are very friendly, knowledgeable, and sincere. The beginner courses that were offered taught me the basic movements used in classes and emphasized safe lifting techniques and proper form. As a beginner to this sport, this class gave me the confidence to keep coming back! I would highly recommend this gym to anyone! Thank you to the Loft community for being so welcoming! read more

Best gym in town. Many years of experience and knowledge between all the coaches. Good community. Good gym. Good times.

It is the best crossfit gym in Seattle. When I moved to west seattle after started crossfit just several months in a belltown box, I wasn't sure if I could find another box here that I would enjoy going. But crossfit loft really made my move and transition to the new gym really easy. Not only it is a supportive community for my beginner level, it is also the best box team in Seattle. It really motivates me to do better in the workout and take care of my body when I watched box I work out in competes in the regional. My dedication and motivation to crossfit has grew a lot since I joined the box. So are my skills and strengths. Bethany, Brandon, Ariel, Annie, Andy, Andrew just help me with techniques to really improve my game. From banded pull ups in the beginning, I was so so proud to get my first bar muscle up. And I DID 19 BAR MUSCLE UPS in a wod shortly after. And the people who you workout with just so supportive and cheering. Not to mention the adorable K9 crew in the gym. Loft is for every family, for every level, for everyone. Just be prepare to surprise yourself. FYI, there's 4 pokestop within a block of the box but why would you care. read more

As someone who's both new to Seattle and new to CrossFit, the coaching and community here have been outstanding. I started with CFL's entry-level sessions to learn the basics, and then began attending the regular classes. The coaches are fantastic -- I'm learning more every day about technique and form, and challenging myself in new ways. read more

Great trainers who emphasize form and quality of movement as well as a holistic approach to supporting you and your goals. This gym also focuses on mobility which helps with overall recovery, injury prevention, and making gains on your lifts and skills. I really like the variety of members which include newbies all the way up to advanced athletes. Vibe is welcoming and supportive, and also kid friendly. If you are looking for a place where you will receive high quality coaching, supportive community, and be challenged in new ways while also having fun, CrossFit Loft is where it's at. Great gym. read more

This place is worth a Yelp review. I don't like Yelp. I do love this place. If you don't like working out with fun people and smart trainers then don't come here. read more

I switched to CrossFit LOFT about a year and a half ago after going to a different gym for a couple of years. In the last 1.5 years, my strength, confidence, and community have grown exponentially thanks to LOFT. It's the only gym I know of in the area that has open gym ALL DAY, in addition to Olympic lifting, mobility, HIIT, yoga, Strongman, kids, and teen classes on top of the regular CrossFit programming. They even have some classes where child care is available so parents can get a good workout in! The community is unmatched - warm, welcoming, supportive, encouraging, and the coaches are all incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to helping members improve, regardless of skill level. If you've been tempted to try CrossFit, drop in and give LOFT a try! read more

Amazing team. Incredibly friendly- chick friendly, dog friendly, lgbt friendly, kid friendly. Just plain friendly. And meticulous trainers- disciplined about form, educated about injury prevention, careful about pushing hard but safe. They're a great place to start crossfit- they do a beautiful job of running intro sessions to make sure your form is good, and then offer Level 1 options for all the workouts. It's a great family spot- they offer a kid & teen class and welcome kids waiting during workout. And it's a great community- they put a lot of value on building community AND building fitness. And if you've been at this a while and are ready to start laying into your personal records- get ready. This team will push you. And from what I see on the whiteboard, the 5am team will blow your hair back. If that's your thing ;) read more

I moved to Seattle a few years ago and was brand new to CrossFit when I first started at Loft. Since then, I've grown to love both CrossFit and the amazing community of coaches, members and fellow West Seattleites. I've never been apart of a more supportive and fun group of people!! Bethany and her staff do a great job at making sure every member feels welcome and included. For newbies (like I was) there's a beginners course that teaches you everything you need to know about CrossFit. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a gym in Seattle! read more

Have you ever used the excuse "I want to try Crossfit but I just can't find a class that works for my schedule"? Well, throw that excuse out the window! With the new front space, Loft has continuous hours from 5 am -- 8 pm with CF classes, Hiit, mobility, yoga, and open gym all staffed with a coach so you don't do something silly and hurt yourself! Also, the coaching staff is abundant so you will get a variety of coaching eyes and cues. You seriously can't find another CF with these hours, the variety of class offerings, and the variety of coaches at Loft! read more

This gym, this community, these coaches are truly unmatched. If you are looking for an "all things positive" life change, this is your spot. You won't find a more educated welcoming staff. read more

Loft is amazing. The coaches are fantastic and I look forward to working out every day. I was new to crossfit, but everyone there was ready to welcome me in immediately. Great place to be! read more

I always hated exercise until I found Crossfit Loft, but after 2+ years of attending classes there I am officially a fitness enthusiast! The inclusive and supportive environment at Loft is like nothing else I've experienced. All of the coaches are attentive and value the safety of their students and the quality of their movement above all else. They have classes all day, and I really appreciate the 8pm class for days when I have to work late. I will be forever grateful to Bethany and everyone else at Loft for getting me off the couch and on the road to better health! read more

My husband's job requires us to move often which results in me having been a member to a lot of different Crossfit boxes over the years. Loft is up there as one of the bests. They have more equipment than most gyms, their hours are the best I have ever seen, and the coaching is top notch. When I first moved to Seattle... this was my last stop and I never went back. They are (in my opinion) the best box in Seattle. Thanks Bethany for building such an amazing environment and community to train in! read more

Fantastic gym. After three years of crossfitting I moved to Seattle from Ohio. The search for a new gym is tough but after thorough research and quite a few drop-ins I decided to join the Loft. I never looked back. Everything about the Loft is top notch, from the coaches and programming to the enormous class schedule and amazing community. There is a place for everyone looking to improve their fitness, from beginner to competitor. If you are a transplant, or just looking to give this rewarding sport a try, I highly recommend the Loft. read more

I remember thinking back to when people used to talk about crossfit and I thought it was all a bunch of BS. Boy was I wrong. I've spent many years working with trainers, doing intense Pilates reformer work, dancing and keeping fit in numerous ways, from here on out, it's xfit for me. Anyone who hates on xfit a)hasn't been to the loft b) must be intimidated by what they think they know. Crossfit loft is run so well- and the coaches, the coaches are amazing- I usually end up working out with Chelsea or Annie based on what time I go and always feel supported, safe and pushed just far enough. I seriously have never felt more safe working out and I'm a bit of a form junky- hence why I loved Pilates. I'm already noticing a difference in my body- attitude and excitement about getting my workout in. Above all, the sense of community is super strong which makes it's SO much more enjoyable. Is also competitive if you want it to be and doesn't have to be if that's not your thing. It's great to workout with people on different levels as well. I can't say enough good things about crossfit Loft, Bethany and Brandon have done it right and hopefully they never leave west Seattle. Oh one more thing- the amount of classes they offer is awesome! I'm a VERY busy person and can still find time to make it in. Don't be scared of crossfit- it's a work in progress, takes time and will probably change your life so go for it! read more
