Paramount is awesome! Chris is a super attentive and involved business owner who practices what he preaches and is also very accommodating with scheduling and the logistical side of things. I worked with Paolo on strength training. He is super knowledgeable and has an amazing talent for quickly connecting with people and assessing their level of skill and fitness to help them achieve their goals. Just an overall great experience. Highly recommend! Dave P. read more

I've been lifting for couple of years back in my early twenties, and since I moved to Lynnwood I was looking for a good gym to get back to exercise. Unfortunately, 95% of gyms in USA are utter franchise network crap that try to maximize revenue by stuffing the floor space with useless smith machines and merchandise. Well, my friends, this one is of a different kind. You get what you see on the photos - plenty of floor space, several olympic racks, barbell, kettlebells and few rowing machines. You also get friendly environment, supportive coaches and path to healthy life. Drop-ins are welcome, so what are you waiting for? Chime in and join the crowd! read more

I have never been particularly athletic or fit, but early this year I knew that I needed to get healthy. I was initially skeptical about Crossfit (in general), but several friends who do CF talked me into trying it. I selected Paramount because of its close proximity to my work, and am I ever glad that I did. The coaching staff have been fantastic. They are always emphasizing proper technique and safety, emphasizing form over "going huge." At the same time, the staff--along with other members of the gym--are always pushing me to stretch myself, to work harder, and to challenge what I "think" I can do. I highly recommend Paramount for anyone, from someone just starting out to those who are in great shape but looking for a new challenge. read more

My best friend and I recently left our CF gym due to distance. We decided to try out Paramount after looking at reviews and diving a bit into their social media. Vanessa was an AWESOME coach and had such great tips for my lifting technique. Chris was a super cool guy and I took advantage of his time at the end of class to see what it is the gym had to offer, considering if we were to be future members. He was thorough and explained everything in detail (and I LOVED that). David and I will definitely be back and recommend Paramount Strength and Conditioning to any friends looking to try an awesome gym! read more

I have been doing CrossFit here for some time and I have to say that I couldn't imagine being at another gym. The community here is very supportive and not too competitive. There is a group of us that like to have fun and push each other but if you just want to come in and have a great workout with good people this is gym is for you. The owner Chris has many years of experience in Crossfit as well as weightlifting which is awesome for us members that get to pick his brain and learn proper technique. He frequently puts on weightlifting clinics and is always willing to help members with any of their health and fitness needs. read more

I've been involved in the CrossFit community for the last 6 years, as a long time CF'er I've had an opportunity to visit numerous gyms, meet owners and coaches, and develop some incredible relationships! Every CF gym has a different feel and focus - I try not to focus on the question of is a gym better or worse than another, but rather ask myself, 'Is this gym a good fit for me and my fitness goals?" I look for a gym that has a great community vibe, coaches that care about my progress, and who can consistently help me breakthrough performance barriers. I get all that and more at Paramount - Chris and Peter are outstanding coaches/trainers, owners, and above that great human beings. If you've never been to a CF gym before I'd recommend Paramount because their programing and mobility are designed to meet you where you're at. If you are an experienced CF'er - I've PR'd more lifts in the last 3 months than I had in the last 3 years, plus I've picked up a few hard to master skills that I felt completely stuck at (Muscle Ups I'm talking to you!) Drop in for a 3:30pm class / I think you'll find the gym to be exactly what you're looking for, I know I'm grateful for everything Chris and Peter bring to the the Paramount experience! read more

One of my favorite places to be!! I go in expecting to work hard and I always come out feeling great about what I have accomplished. There is something for everyone here. The coaching staff is so amazing too. They help everyone safely work hard at their own skill level. The community is very inclusive and inviting. read more

I joined in March 2018 and I have not missed a class yet. It is now Nov. 2018 and I have made such great friends and I feel the strongest since I was in my twenties. I'm now 65 and recommend Paramount Strength and their coaches to help you feel alive at the age of 65. Thomas read more

I was so happy to discover this Crossfit box in the Mountlake Terrace area! The instructors are super welcoming and knowledgeable and the members so friendly. I loved that the class size is small enough so you get one on one attention. The box is well-equipped and well taken care of. Most importantly, the WODs are killer! read more

The programming here is excellent. I am a chiropractor and work with the head coach Chris a lot and he is really doing a great job getting athletes doing the right things for their bodies. If you want top level coaching, this is a great place to get it. read more

I am so happy to be a Paramount member! The gym has many work-out options including traditional Crossfit, HIIT and weightlifting. Paramount also has a well organized and active Barbell Club. The coaches are phenomenal; knowledgeable, attentive and make the work-outs very fun! The members are friendly and so encouraging to each other. Whether you're a beginner or experienced at Crossfit and weightlifting, Paramount is the place to be! read more

Chris and Peter are great coaches. They are very enthusiastic about teaching you the correct techniques. You will be pushed to your limits and that's a good thing. They are patient and they know their techniques. I am always huffing and puffing at the end of the WOD. Its much more fun than hitting a regular gym doing the same thing. I know, i've been hitting the elliptical and treadmill for the past 12 years. My 1 month in XFit has been more beneficial to me than my 12 years in the gym. read more

I really love this place. I started coming in since March 2018 with little knowledge about Crossfit. I have learned and also improved a lot in the past eight months. The coaches are very nice and friendly. I like the way they "push" me to challenge myself without feeling uncomfortable. All the teammates are nice too. We are at different levels. We help each other and encourage each other. It is a lot fun! read more

I've fallen out of shape since I've been out of the Navy for the past couple of years. I've tried to get into going to the gym and running, but nothing keeps me motivated to going back. I looked into Crossfit, and after reading some reviews and talking to friends I gave Crossfit Paramount a try. I've heard stories of other gyms that aim for volume with groupon ads, but their coaches don't put in the time to help new people. That isn't the case at Crossfit Paramount. Chris and Peter are outstanding coaches and they give each person the attention they need to ensure that they are getting the most out of their workout. My fiancé had no previous weight lifting experience and was intimidated by the heavy weight lifting of Crossfit. Thanks to Chris and Peter, she is no longer intimidated and is excited and motivated to keep going back. Not only are the coaches great, but the people are as well. Everyone is extremely friendly and encouraging. At the very first fundamental workout, people were chearing us on and helping motivate us get the most out of our workout. If you have years of experience or if you are new to Crossfit, this gym is the place for you. You should always be weary of places using coupons to lure people in. This place is growing because of outstanding coaching. read more

Excellent box! I have been wanting to do crossfit for years, but had to wait to finish college to afford it. It was worth the wait, and this box is worth the money in 10 folds. My biggest concern in crossfit was my back (I have had 2 disc herniations), but the coaches here focus on form as opposed to the clock. Although they will push you to your limit, they will make sure your form is on point, which makes me feel much more safe. Additionally, the classes are relatively small, (I go at 6am and there are usually 4-6 of us), which makes it feel like personal training and allows for tons of 1:1 guidance from the coaches! The community of people who work out here have also been very kind, welcoming, and helpful as I have been trying to learn all the fundamental moves of crossfit. Overall, I feel super lucky I found this place! It's fun, safe, and kicks my butt! read more

CF Paramount is my gym away away from home. I drop in whenever I'm in town for the holidays and it's awesome. Great community and even better programming. read more

I have been CF'ing over a year. I came to this box as an out of town visitor, and Peter and Chris were awesome! Their coaching is great, and their explanations for movements are really clear and helpful. Sometimes it's really helpful to hear a skill explained in a different way than you have heard it before. If I moved down here, this would definitely be my home box. read more

I got a Living Social deal for four weeks and then forgot about it because I didn't think I could do the workout. I called them and they encouraged me to come anyway and give it a try. Well I went and loved it. My trainer Vanessa was very understanding and mindful of my limits. I'm glad I signed up and will continue for my four weeks. read more

I feel stronger and more energized than I have in years after my first month at Paramount. I love my 6 am workouts and only wish I had found CrossFit in my 20's instead of my 40's! This box is perfect for me: close to home, amazing community and most importantly the coaches strike that perfect balance between drill sergeant and supportive encouragement. They will never push me to do something I'm not ready for but they see my potential and won't let me be lazy. I'm hooked! read more

Fantastic coaching, location and welcoming members. Coach Chris and peter are great with showing lift technique and proper posture. I looked at the surrounding cf gyms and was put off by the lack of instruction attention and the number of people working out together. They all seemed a little chaotic and unorganized moving people through there workouts. Everyone I've worked out with at paramount has made the effort to introduce them self and encourage me along in my WODs.. I'm new to the crossfit world but over the past month have realized ive never worked harder or felt more physically motivated in my life. I've been a regular at golds gym for 15 plus years and thought I was in good shape. Wrong. If you are wanting to do something bigger than the treadmill this is it. Be prepared to push yourself harder than you thought you could and love every minute! read more

I took my first class on Monday and I must say I got the best workout I have ever had! Olivia was very helpful and made my experience overall terrific. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. Hope they stay around for a while! read more

Dropped in from cypress California. Being an affiliate owner and having high standards, chris and his staff exceeded our expectations. He was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Great gym to visit if you're in the area. read more

Really cool box to visit. Chris and Vanessa were awesome. They made me feel as though I was a member. I would defiantly suggest if you are in the Lynnwood area, drop in and workout with these studs. Thank you so much! read more

Finally I can be super excited again about crossfit! From my very first WOD I have been in love with CF. When I was 1 1/2 years into CF I had to leave the one I loved bc of traffic and commuting times and UNTIL I found Crossfit Paramount, I was less than pleased with the others I tried. With so many boxes opening I have found that programming and coaching have been lacking and "watered down" and I haven't been excited! I want to be challenged and coached! Chris and Peter do just that! The programming is set for a competitor but scalable to fit your level! Chris and Peter are knowledgable to guide you to push yourself to a working weight to work hard and avoid injury! They have attention to detail during your movements so don't think you can cut a corner and be sloppy bc they will coach you to good form! I have a few movements I dread and don't want to do and would rather stomp off kicking and screaming than do but they encourage you so that you feel confident that eventually you will succeed at it and I appreciate that so much! I drive a little further but it's worth it from coaching to programming to the clean, big space!! Trust me, I've done the research!! read more

I dropped in to Crossfit Paramount for about a week while visiting Shoreline, and was so lucky to have found such a great box to WOD at while I was away from home!! I went to several WODs and all the coaches were extremely personable, attentive, and welcoming. Chris (owner/head coach) was very accommodating and responsive to emails. I really like that they often post the WOD online - knowing the WOD always motivates me to go. The box is beautifully clean, easily accessible, equipment is great, and class sizes were very accommodating so that even as a visitor I got incredibly great attention to my form and effort. I was so fortunate to come on a day where the strength focus was your "weakness" of choice, and Chris was there to give me some much-needed and incredibly helpful tips on my snatch work. Even in just a few short minutes I learned SO much from him; he has a great amount of knowledge of lifting and lifting techniques. I am very grateful for such a great experience at Crossfit Paramount. Definitely recommend it as a place to workout; if I lived in Washington, this would definitely be the box I would join. I look forward to coming back next time I visit! read more
