PUSH Box Fitness — Attraction in Seattle

Rejoining CrossFit after a 2 year break and joining this box was one of the best decisions of this year. I've been CrossFitting since 2015, and this is my 3rd box I have been a part of. The programming is SUPURB, the community is welcoming, and the coach is knowledgeable and fun. He genuinely cares equally about building community, good movement and advancing fitness.

This box is very welcoming to the newer athlete, but has everything you need for intermediate-to-advanced athletes. You will never feel pressure to do movement you're not comfortable with (and modifications are always provided) or push beyond what you're comfortable. That being said, if you want to go hard, know that you'll have one of the coach/owners there to cheer you on.

I'll conclude by expanding on the programming, as I feel that really sets this gym apart. While everything I mentioned would be enough to give this gym a 5-star rating, the programming I feel is best in class. Programming is incredibly challenging to make work across fitness levels, for it to both be accessible yet challenging for all who come through the door. That's the challenge on a per-workout basis. What makes this programming superb is that week-to-week and month-to-month there is flow and is built with clear goals in mind. It's not just about a "good workout" it's about building blocks, so that you're developing skills, and improving all aspects of fitness.

Put simply, I look forward to working out here. I know I'm going to get healthier, stronger, and more fit. Thanks for the warm welcome and the...

I love everything about this gym: the coaches / owners, the people, the programming, the location, the schedule, the way the gym is organized, the community events... I could go on. A lot of people are attracted to CrossFit because of the overall badass-ery of it, but I come for a different reason: after carrying and giving birth to two children and suffering from diastasis recti (ab separation), piriformis syndrome, and pelvic floor weakness, after a certain point, my physical therapist was like "... you just need to start exercising and strength training and you're going to get better." I had done CrossFit over ten years ago (shoutout to CrossFit Woburn) and loved it, but was hesitant to get back into it because I felt so weak and out of shape. I signed up for the free class thinking I would just try it out again, and lo and behold, very first class, Aidan helped me get my first double under ever. He explained the cues to me in a way that just unlocked a physical understanding of what I had to do: "Do you have kids? Okay. Have you ever shaken a rattle? Okay, imagine you're getting frustrated with your kid and you're shaking a rattle in his face." Who thinks of cues like that?! So I signed up! Aidan is very good at teaching and cues and I feel like I have improved in skill and form. And biggest win of all, I have physically felt my diastasis recti and piriformis syndrome improve (in other words, my core and glutes are...

PUSH is the best gym in the city hands down! I've always been interested in Crossfit style/weight lifting workouts but never knew where to start, until I found PUSH. I was looking for somewhere to learn proper weightlifting technique, and build strength while keeping workouts fresh and challenging (I get bored at the gym by myself). I spent a lot of time researching on Google and Reddit reading reviews, and PUSH stood out for all the right reasons.

I started with the 3-pack of private intro sessions (shoutout Caroline!) to learn the fundamentals, and then joined group classes. Aidan and Trysh have put together a top-notch coaching staff. Every coach is knowledgeable, encouraging, and constantly offering tips to help you improve. As a beginner they give you scaling options, but also when you're ready push you to go big.

The workouts are tough, fun, and always varied, which keeps things exciting. The community vibe is also great—supportive, motivating, and welcoming.

If you're thinking about trying CrossFit or just looking for a new gym, swing by and try a class - you...
