Let’s talk about something that has really made Seattle sweat over the last decade: CrossFit.
Whether you’ve googled “best CrossFit gym in Seattle” because saw the documentaries on Netflix, or because your co-worker wouldn’t shut up about their gym, you may have come across one name over and over: Felix Athletics.
Here’s the twist: while Felix started as one of the OG CrossFit affiliates in downtown Seattle—over a decade ago, mind you—it’s evolved into something even better. Felix Athletics is what happens when you take everything awesome about CrossFit (the intensity, the camaraderie, the functional fitness vibes) and strip out the culty weirdness, confusing jargon, and overuse of chalk.
Wait, So Do You Still Do CrossFit?
Let’s just say: if it walks like a duck, squats like a duck, and finishes with a spicy 15-minute EMOM… it’s probably still CrossFit-inspired. We just don’t wave the flag anymore. Not because we’re out on CrossFit—Felix was rated one of the top CrossFit gyms in Seattle for a reason. But because we’re not married to labels. We’re married to what works.
Functional Fitness, Felix-Style
At Felix, you’ll still find all the things people love about CrossFit:
-
Constantly varied workouts
-
Barbells, kettlebells, sleds, rowers, burpees (sorry)
-
A crew of sweaty legends cheering each other on
But here’s what you won’t find:
-
An ego contest every time you walk in
-
Random workouts with no purpose
-
Coaches shouting in your face
-
A million acronyms you need to Google after class
So Why Do People Still Call Felix a CrossFit Gym?
Because it’s earned the rep. Felix Athletics is one of the most well-known pioneers of CrossFit in Seattle, with roots that go way back. For years, this was the place where people came to start CrossFit—and where they stayed because the community was unmatched and the results were real.
Even though the brand has evolved, the mission hasn’t changed: help everyday people get strong, confident, and capable AF.
If you’re looking for the best CrossFit gym in Seattle, but want a place that’s evolved with the times, isn’t stuck in the past, and actually gives you the tools to succeed—Felix Athletics is the move.
Come in for the squats. Stay for the vibes.
