Spent a year and a half at this gym as a member, and I cant say enough to describe how great of a gym it is. The owners were always doing everything they could to make the gym better, the coaches provided knowledge, skill, acceptance, and compassion, and the members were always encouraging and fun to be around. Programming was second to none! This gym truly brings community and fitness together in a positive environment.

The coaches here are incredible and so supportive. The facility itself is clean, organized, fun, and has everything you need. I recently joined the small group fitness classes and theyve made my experience here even more amazing!!

Great place to workout, dropped in several times while in town, had great workouts every time, and the people were great! Highly recommended!

There are no words to accurately describe how wonderful Joe and Kendra (the owners of this gym) and all of the coaches here are. This is not just a business to them. Joe and Kendra truly care about each member and prioritize our health and individual needs above all else. These owners go above and beyond. For example, during the pandemic, they have ensured access to equipment for all members for at home workouts and have offered to work with members who have been financially impacted because the owners’ motto is that fitness should be accessible for all.Showing up to class, whether in person or on Zoom, has been my source of therapy and I would not be sane during these unprecedented times without this community of coaches and members. The coaches all truly foster and believe in an inclusive environment for everyone of all fitness levels and backgrounds. Through all of the craziness of this year, the one thing I look forward to is the 3-4 hours a week when I am surrounded by wholeheartedly great humans (in person or virtually) who support me and push me to levels I never thought I was capable of. I could not be more grateful for this community.

The programming at ECCF is such a great combination of gymnastics, barbell work, and conditioning that it’s impossible to get bored. Safety is a huge priority to the owners and the workouts can be scaled for all abilities. The community is incredibly supportive and fun to be around! I have always liked group fitness classes and joining ECCF was a perfect fit for me when I wanted to move on from barre and bodypump to more goal-focused programming.

Not only do they have great staff and community, but they have the BEST programing of any crossfit gym Im been to. They always mix it up which keeps it engaging while also giving my whole body a workout during the week. I also love how classes start with skill development which means I get a little better each day. When a workout does have something I cant do, their awesome staff finds a way to scale it to my ability. I cannot recommend ECCF enough!

The best community and the best coaches! I’ve always felt a little awkward and out of place at gym, but this place encouraged me and made me feel so comfortable. They were awesome in helping me learn new movements and work on my form. Thank you guys!

I loved this gym and went for two years, until parenthood kind of took over my life and schedule. I was in the best shape of my life and it was great. Friendly, supportive community too.

Joe and Kendra are the best—the type of local owners we should all be supporting. Plus the entire coaching crew and the whole community is wonderful!

Love working out here. The coaches are great - they are knowledgeable, very inclusive, and really care about safety and helping each athlete find the right way to excel, whatever their needs and capabilities are.

They always provide advice on progress, safety and other topics(like nutrition and recovery). I also like this box for the community. They are just great! I feel that everybody can got my back and I always feel better after training!

ECCF is such a fabulous gym and community. They’ve been doing a great job at keeping us all safe, sane, and physically thriving in these crazy times.

I cannot speak highly enough about Emerald City Community Fitness!Before my partner dragged me along to her join ECCF, I had no idea a gym could have such a community feel. My experiences with cross-fit type gyms in the past had been mostly bro-y and a little bit competitive and intimidating, but ECCF is nothing like that. All the coaches give great instruction and got to know me immediately, and other gym-goers were friendly and welcoming too. During the COVID-19 pandemic, they are taking thorough precautions to prevent infection and allow small groups of people to continue taking socially distant classes within the gym, as well as remote classes on zoom. It has meant so much to have a great place to both exercise and socialize. Worth every penny!

ECCF is a great community with amazing coaches and staff! The programming is excellent and every coach Ive worked with gives great instruction and feedback on movements. They really encourage safety and excellent form over lifting something too heavy or trying to go fast, and support using scaling options if youre dealing with injury or not ready to use the prescribed weight in a workout. I always feel really safe in the gym even when Im doing a movement thats outside my comfort zone. ECCF has also done a great job implementing COVID safety procedures in the gym and offering excellent at-home programming for members who cant come in during this time. I cant say enough good things about this gym community!

I joined ECCF about a year ago after moving across town with my family. It was a stressful time with a lot of personal change and I was anxious about switching gyms. I was immediately struck by how welcoming the whole ECCF community was - coaches and fellow athletes alike. The coaching staff is second to none! I have progressed as an athlete these last four months and without a doubt, ECCF has played a large role in my pandemic coping. I’m so grateful to have a new gym home with ECCF!

ECCF is such a lovely place and their options for COVID safety have been very helpful (I’ve been opting for rental equipment and online classes). I’ve been going here for 6 years and Kendra and Joe and all the other coaches are so helpful and caring and kind. I would show up with a new issue every week while I was playing rugby and coaches would quickly adapt and help me still get a great workout. Now I approach fitness as a former athlete and ECCF still fits my needs. I like the mixture of folks who are more intense athletes, more chill folks, and those who are there for a fun time. ECCF in their programming and environment has fit my needs at different points in my fitness life!Legit Kendra and Joe also listen to community/member feedback and are very intentional and thoughtful (ex disassociating from CrossFit). They’re such kind and sweet people!!

ECCF changed my life. We initially signed up just to get in shape for a Spartan Race, but ended up loving the workout routine and community so much that weve now been members for two years.Their focus is really on building a healthy lifestyle, not just looking good in a swimsuit, and they offer a range of programs from yoga to diet challenges to olympic weightlifting to a running club so that you can figure out what works best for you. All of the coaches are very experienced and friendly, and they do a great job paying close attention to each person and helping you improve your form + stay disciplined in coming to class. Youll also make friends with others in the gym pretty quickly since the classes are typically pretty small, which creates a sense of accountability that makes it far easier to motivate yourself to get to the gym.If youre looking for a way to stay in shape but arent quite ready to go back to the gym in person due to COVID concerns, ECCF has a ton of options for working out from home. I have a newborn child so havent been able to go into the gym in person, but they have at-home workouts, Zoom classes, and equipment rentals so that I can still stay in shape.As a result of all the above I was able to really get fit and build healthy lifestyle habits for the first time in years and feel like a transformed human being.

Emerald City has been my gym home for over a year now and I still love it. The coaching is superb, the community is great, and the workouts are tough. Additionally, you dont feel the pressure in some CrossFit gyms to always go up weight and go faster on the reps. Form and Safety are #1 and that makes for more fun, less risk of injury, and better workouts.

I cant imagine a world without ECCF. Its way more than a gym- its a supportive community that Ive come to love over the past two years.We first joined to train for Spartan race and found a community of individuals and coaches that were welcoming. Usually Im intimidated by gyms and weight lifting. At ECCF I was able to get the personalized workouts I needed within a group setting and build my strength and confidence to successfully complete the Spartan event. That was back in April 2019!Since then we became a part of the community. Going to ECCF helped me during an extended period of depression triggered by a challenging professional environment. Regardless of my day, I could come to ECCF and have the encouragement and kindness of the EXCELLENT coaches show me how strong I was- both mentally and physically. Pre-COVID it was great to have this consistency and a place where I could get away for an hour of crossfit or yoga.Ive also been a member as my body changed over the last year through pregnancy. The coaches paid close attention and provided modified moves to ensure that I was doing the appropriate moves through all stages of my pregnancy. This specialized and individual coaching in a group class was very much appreciated!ECCF is also just pure fun. The coaches and members are supportive of everyone. I always feel like ive been cheered on to be the best I can be in and outside of the box. Ive also had the chance to build friendships through the community events.There are multiple dimensions of strength- you can work on all of them here. Way more than a gym! Im so glad we have this in our life and cant wait to get back post partum.

I really enjoy working out here! The classes are all different, and they are so upbeat and fast moving, the time flies by and you’re done before you know it!

Best fitness decision, and best ‘life’ decision I’ve made in a long time was to join ECCF. Very attentive, intelligent, and personable coaches who help everyone equally. Best gym members, by far. Everyone celebrates the others wins. Can’t say enough ‘kudos’ 👏🏼👏🏼

Having been a Crossfitter for many years, I’m so grateful that this gym and coaches are so amenable to modifications and accommodating to injuries. That way one can still be active and part of a great community. Thank you all for all you do!

Wonderful gym with a supportive staff and community. They push you but always explain workouts and offer options to scale. Highly recommended whether youre new or experienced at Crossfit.

The owners and coaches of this gym are personable, knowledgeable, and prioritize safety and community! The programing is constantly varied and scalable for everyone. This is where I come to get energized, clear my mind, and hangout with friends... its my gym home:)

I joined CrossFit a year ago after being bored of regular gyms and not finding enough motivation to workout constantly.Today I celebrate and dedicate all the improvements I have not seen coming someday to the wonderful coaches at this family box.- Extremely knowledgeable coaches- Super fun community- Endless motivation- Best programming everHappy WODing!

Everyone is a treat. Joe and Kendra are so welcoming and the coaches are great! They’re motivating, and will work with all levels and goals.

I joined ECCF a week after moving to Seattle. I visited 7 (yes, thats a lot) local CrossFit gyms before deciding on this one. ECCF had far and away the most welcoming community, the best coaches, fantastic programming, I could go on and on :) Particularly for someone new to Seattle, it was such a great way to feel welcome!

ECCF is an awesome CrossFit gym! The community is awesome, coaches are great, and owners really care about the fitness and health of the gym members.

The womens strength class at ECCF has been a life changer! Not only has my strength, mobility and balance improved, Coach Stephanie Vuolo creates a real sense of community.

Great place to step up your fitness game. The team there is dedicated to their craft and they are very approachable. Theres lots of classes happening through out the day so its flexible to most peoples schedules.

I always thought I would like CrossFit, but had heard that it can be intimidating and clicky. This has been FAR from my experience at Emerald City where everyone is welcoming, encouraging, and truly fun to be around. The coaches are incredibly supportive, fun, knowledgable and know how to adapt different workouts to each persons abilities. Coming from an athletic background, it feels great to have a place to go again where I feel pushed to keep getting better, but always supported by the coaches and community. Thanks ECCF :)

Dropped in at Emerald City CF on holiday and really enjoyed the workout. This box is small but gritty and clearly member focussed. The 4pm class was small but super friendly, we felt really welcome and looked after by Owner/Coach Seth. Lots of great t shirt options and we got a great workout too.

I started training here when they first opened and have maintained a 3 times per week schedule since. Melinda, Seth and the other trainers are dedicated to ensuring that folks like me, who are new to Crossfit, learn correct technique, use appropriate weight, and engage in exercises with good intensity. For newbies, there is a 6 session Foundations class. I feel like Ive seen significant improvements in the month or so Ive been going. In addition to that, the gym has a nice friendly vibe...people talk to each other and cheer each other on. There are folks who work out here who are really fit, but there arent any big egos. It has a nice community feel and many of the people who go to the gym are from the local neighborhood. I highly recommend it!

Love this place!I never tried CrossFit before joining ECCF. In the past I would typically do work outs like Insanity or lift in the gym but prior to joining I had not worked out consistently in two years.I started off with a trial class - everyone was really friendly and explained things well. Melinda, one of the owners, stuck with me the whole time to ensure I was set up and had proper form.I then did fundamentals before starting. Again, Melinda was amazing. She explained things in a way I understood and was patient.Ive now been at ECCF for 6 weeks and love it. My body is slowly changing and I love the energy Ive gained. All the coaches are encouraging and they review form and technique every single day before we get started so I dont have to worry about feeling lost or behind.Love it here!

They have quite the assortment of work out equipment, and the directions are labeled nicely

I have been working out at Emerald City CrossFit for almost 1 and 1/2 years now.. I have tried a few other boxes but this is definitely home. Everyone there from our amazing coaches who constantly go over proper form and technique before our WODs to the countless other members who have become such a huge part of my life. I am stronger and better not just physically but in so many areas of my life because I walked through that door!

The best crossfit gym! Energetic owners, friendly athletes, encouraging and intelligent coaches.

I feel like great crossfit gyms are about coaching, programming and community -- ECCF is just a great example of all three coming together. This is a place thats challenging but not intimidating, intense in all the right ways, and a community Ive just been so happy to be part of! Jake, Travis, Kari, and Mike (the morning coaches who I see most) are those cheerful, energetic voices saying -- lets do it just a little bit better today. Great gym.

I started at Emerald City CrossFit over 3 years ago and I cant imagine going anywhere else! The coaches are safety-focused, helpful, and energetic, the people are welcoming, and I always leave feeling like Ive had a great workout. The coaches know how to encourage you to make sure you are pushing yourself and growing, but are always focused on form and safety above anything else. The owners and coaches are always looking for ways to offer more than just a CrossFit gym to members, including as mobility classes, yoga, running, and kettlebell workshops. Along with awesome programing, ECCF really focuses on building a community of people who are there to cheer each other on every day!

Needs more instructors. For free please

Great atmosphere good coaches, been to quite a few CF gyms and definitely recommend this one.

Love working out here! The WODs are challenging and you feel great after completing them. Seth and Melinda (coaches) are awesome!

Great coaches, Great community, Great space! Youll get good scaling advice, good form checks, and long term growth here!

ECCF is an amazing box to call home! The coaches really care about helping you grow as an athlete while always keeping a watchful eye on your form and safety. Seth and Melinda (the ECCF owners) fostered a great community and the other members are always cheering you on through that last difficult set or making you feel right at home with a friendly hey hows it going? The workouts are varied and tuned to help you constantly make gains in strength and stamina, and even if youre just interested in coming by for a good workout youll be pleasantly surprised to see how much youve improved. Swing by and try it out, you wont regret it!

I dropped into ECCF while on vacation and had a great time. The space is clean and organized, the members are welcoming, and the programming is accessible to all levels. The class included a thorough warm-up and cooldown, which I greatly appreciated. Jake, the coach, was friendly and encouraging, and offered a variety of progressions to scale the workout if needed. I would definitely come back and would recommend ECCF to anyone in the area.

Fantastic gym with amazing coaches!

I freaking love Emerald City Crossfit. Awesome workouts and an even more awesome group of people who always provide positive motivation. Rock on!

I dropped in for a class and ECCF was extremely welcoming. Perfect little crossfit spot with great energy. Ps. Coach Kari, I did the 100 burpees for time. They sucked :)

Good coaching staff. Large, clean space with new equipment. They post the workouts online.

Tremendous place, outstanding coaches and realistic results!!

I have been doing xfit for a while and am familiar with a lot of gyms in the area. This gym is probably in the top three as far as programming and workouts. The workouts have a nice mix of core, body weight and heavy lifting exercises. The workout progression throughout the week has an excellent flow. The gym accommodates experienced and new xfitters alike. The owners are also members which gives them a perspective most xfit gym owners do not have (they also coach). Highly recommend this gym!

Im stronger!! I signed up with ECCF with the idea of Im going to try it out for one month. I havent looked back since! They preach form and mobility, two things I was lacking. I have learned so much about both in the past months. Great workouts and it feels so good when youre done!

Of my 4 and 1/2 years doing Crossfit, Emerald City has been home for the last 1.5 of that. Crossfit has completely changed the way I work out for the better. As I was getting older, I wasnt getting the same results I wanted doing my standard weight lifting routine. Crossfit pushes me mentally and physically and Im far healthier for it. The coaching here is top notch with safety and proper technique the highest priority. The community of great people to do these workouts with is icing on the cake! Melinda and Seth let you do a free workout to try it out before committing. If youre looking to change up your routine, definitely give the box a try!

I signed up Emerald City Crossfit 2 years ago. This was one of the best decisions of my life! Before ECCF I tried conventional gyms but never got the results I wanted. With ECCF not only I have been able to feel more fit but also found myself part of a cool community.

Great community and outstanding coaching!

Great coaches, fun environment/community, welcoming to beginners!

Great coaches and programming

Awesome workout!

Great coaching staff and fellow gym goers!
