Persistence Athletics | CrossFit PA — Local services in Seattle

I joined Persistence Athletics 4 months ago after taking a 4-year break from the gym. I had tried running, regular gyms, and even other CrossFit places, but nothing ever stuck. From my very first trial class, Ravi made me feel comfortable. He assessed my fitness level and reassured me that we’d build strength and endurance gradually. He focused on my form first, making sure I didn’t get injured — something I really appreciated as I was just getting back into it.

Over time, he helped me push myself in a way that felt safe and motivating. The workouts are always exciting — no two sessions feel the same — and he throws in fun challenges that keep things fresh.

What sets Persistence apart from other CrossFit gyms I’ve tried is the personal attention. Even though it’s a group class, Ravi and Jacky pay close attention to each individual. They remember your progress and scale the workouts so you feel challenged but not overwhelmed. It creates an inclusive environment where total beginners and experienced athletes can train side by side.

Another thing that really stood out to me: the coaches genuinely cares about your overall well-being. I had trouble managing my diet, and Ravi offered to help — I’d send him what I ate, and he’d give me simple, practical suggestions to improve. Both Ravi and Jacky coach in a way that helps you eventually feel confident training independently too.

They also do an amazing job building community. Whether it’s a weekend run or a casual meal together, it never feels like you’re just going to the gym — it feels like you’re part of something bigger.

I work in tech, where my most consistent workout used to be switching between tabs. Between meetings and debugging marathons, I never thought I’d look forward to a workout — but I haven’t missed a single class since joining. Persistence has added structure to my days, cleared my mind, and made fitness something I genuinely enjoy.

Persistence Athletics has been a total game-changer. If you’re looking for a gym that combines expert coaching, personal attention, and an awesome community...

I don’t usually write reviews, but I have had such an amazing experience at Persistence Athletics I felt like I needed to share my experience. I came in at the start of the summer with chronic lower back pain, and an incredible amount of stiffness in my hamstrings, lower back and hips. This was all caused by a typical office / desk job where I was spending a lot of my day sitting and staring at a screen. I decided to do something about it one day and sent Jacque an email inquiring about their program and gym!

I met with Jacque for an initial consultation where I explained my goals, what my motivations were, and let Coach Jacque do a preliminary screening of my movement and physical fitness. I originally was nervous to join a “crossfit” gym because of the reputation that crossfit has of being an injury prone sport, but those fears were soon put to rest when I realized how important the coaches at Persistence take good form and solid foundational movement. All workouts scale, so no matter where you are in your fitness journey you won't have pressure to ego-lift and risk hurting yourself by lifting with bad form. Both Ravi and Jacque truly care about their athletes and their goals and you can expect to get personalized instruction both in 1x1 sessions as well as in a class setting.

I’ve been coming to Persistence regularly for around three months now, and I’m happy to say my lower back has never felt better! It’s also an added plus that I look better, am stronger, and have more energy than ever. Jacque and Ravi won’t be able to do the workouts for you, but they do pretty much everything else. It’s as simple as showing up consistently and giving your best effort during every workout, and you will see results!

If you are thinking about making a change and taking your health and fitness seriously, I couldn’t recommend a better community to become a part of! Can’t wait to see...
