Rocket Community Fitness — Attraction in Seattle

I've been a member at Rocket for 2.5 years now and absolutely love it! Workouts are CrossFit style and highly varied... one day you'll find your 1 rep max clean & jerk, the next day you'll be jumping and running and rowing, and then next day you'll try out some new gymnastics skills, all with the support and encouragement of your wonderful coach and fellow athletes. For me personally, as a former collegiate athlete and someone who did CrossFit at 2 other gyms before finding Rocket, I have grown so much stronger and improved the mechanics of my lifts and skills because of the incredible coaches at Rocket (shout out to Jen!) and the unique culture of this gym.

All of this, along with feeling way stronger and better in my body, makes Rocket a place that I actually want to keep coming back to - a rarity for me in the...

Been doing CrossFit and CrossFit style workouts for 12 years. I’ve done comps and also been a casual fitness-er.

Coaches are very experienced and well trained to adapt workouts to accommodate for injuries and fitness goals. If you live locally, join us. If you are in town, drop in. Everybody else—Use the barbell that you want to use and stop hating on a gym that you’ve never been to just because you disagree with the way we do things. Be better, or just come to Rocket and we will help...
