The LAB Strength & Conditioning CrossFit Gym

Such great people. Really dynamic programming.

This is the place to on board and take it to the next level. I’ve been a Lab member for a while now and have never been disappointed with the service, advice, growth, and adaptation they attract. Love the Lab.

Was extremely disappointed with the customer service side of the business. I loved the trainers, the gym, the atmosphere, but had a sour after taste after leaving the gym in regards to money and payments. Was extremely disappointed to know people that run the place have absolutely no sympathy for people like me who left a couple days after the month started and was charged a full month’s payment. Think twice before going here!

This is the best CrossFit gym in Seattle. I have been crossfitting for 3+ years and have shopped every gym in the area. I recently started going to the lab and the programming is awesome, the facility is amazing and the owner and coaches are outstanding. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a box

I’ve visited many crossfit boxes, and this one is def the best one I have found. The owner is invested in each member and the programming is great. I can’t wait to see my progress here!

I could not be happier at The LAB!!! They have an awesome group of coaches that really care about your growth as an athlete! The space is huge so you don’t feel like you’re stepping on people even when there’s a big class and the location is ideal (for me!) :)

It’s the culture of coaching at The LAB that sets it apart. Not only is programming done intellectually, the coaches have a DEEP understanding of movement and of the human body. They don’t judge their athletes but accept where an athlete is in their fitness journey. I’m impressed to no end at coaches ability to answer technical questions about injury and movement. The standard of coaches is high, and its not just one or two of them that are at a high level. They are all knowledgeable to the point that I don’t need to question them or wonder if I’m going to hurt myself following their cues. The LAB is a place where I have a deep trust and respect for the methodology and feel safe to dig deep inside to reach new levels I have yet to explore.

As a former college athlete, I thought I had a good little workout going. Have been going to The Lab for over a year and a half and still love it and am learning new things. There is a heavy emphasis on Olympic style lifting and constant focus on technique and improving form. I continue to notice improvements in all aspects of my fitness (strength, mobility, endurance, etc.). It isn’t cheap, but comparable to personal training (if one attends regularly) and definitely worth it.

I have just started my 4^th month at The Lab and it has been a fantastic experience working out here. If you have ever participated in any kind of organized sport, you’ll immediately feel at home with the teaching and competitive environment. Every workout is brutal, but extremely rewarding, and you will undoubtedly notice positive results in both strength and endurance within your first couple weeks of the On Ramp class.
Initially, it was a bit intimidating coming in here, especially since I hadn’t had a tough workout in a while, but with the ultra-​knowledgeable and friendly staff at The Lab, I felt like a regular in no time. If I could give The Lab more than 5 stars, I would! It has been a great 3 months here and I still look forward to the ass-​kicking I get every time I walk through the door.

I signed up for the intro RAMP program at the LAB. Needless to say I am getting my ass kicked. And I love it.
Crossfit can sometimes get a bad rap because if you don’t get the form down correctly you can seriously injure yourself. (I see a physical therapist for some knee pain and she sees this a lot). The RAMP program allows you to work on the fundamentals so you don’t do something stupid… like try to do it and home and get knee problems, where you end up spending a ton of money to see a physical therapist just to be mobile again. Just saying.
I consider myself to be in reasonable good shape and I am happy to say just the intro class destroys. Second class in and I feel sore to the core. A lot of repetition, fast, and stretches afterwards to help recover. The program changes every class so your muscles are always in for a mindfuck. The instructors are really nice and supportive, but more importantly helpful.
Definitely looking forward to more classes and moving forward.

The Lab is way more than just a gym. It is a community of cool, down-​to-​earth people who are like minded about health and fitness. I just finished my first year of Crossfit with the Lab and have seen a huge improvement in all areas of fitness.

Ten weeks in and I am officially a convert. I was definitely skeptical about the whole crossfit mantra at first. I thought, why pay so much more for a regimented schedule?
But, I have noticed a big difference from my usual mundane gym workouts previously. Before crossfit, I would go to my gym, throw my headphones in and workout on my own. If I didn’t feel like doing a last set, I would say, «ah, next time» and be done. At crossfit, I feel motivated to push myself through every workout we do and try to get my best time or score, every time. The workout changes every day, so you never find anything repetitive.
I definitely feel physically better, even mentally, strangely…
There’s also a feeling of community here. I have come to know everyone in the classes I’ve been taking as well as all the teachers and we all commiserate with each other post-​workout.
So, yes it’s expensive, but in my mind, worth it.
Man, I hate burpees…

Been going for a couple months now… getting stronger! I love it here! Everyone is so nice, and the instructors are always willing to work with you.
Xfit, I j’adore you.

The coaches and facility are top notch. A lot of effort goes into every class and every workout. New exercises, and lifts are constantly being introduced to keep things fresh. New workout everyday. Everything is explained beforehand, and the coaches are always right there to motivate you, and make sure you are keeping good form.
Probably the best total body workout you can fit in in under an hour. Expect some pain in new places at first, later replaced with new muscles in those same places. Would recommend to anyone bored with their gym, at a plateau, or looking for a new challenge. Pretty flexible class schedule as well. Show up ready to work, and The Lab seriously takes care of the rest. Awesome place, and really great people. Also the most comfortable place I’ve ever worked out at, not a whole lot of judging, or ego’s around.

Great work out experience!

The Lab is a great crossfit gym. It offers both beginner and advanced daily classes, as well as a free 2 week trial. Cost is $ 165 per month, but well worth it… most challenging and rewarding workout that I have ever experienced. Great instructors, facility, and members. You will never regret working out at The Lab.

Great crossfit program and facility! The gym is clean, well equipped and has a great layout for crossfit. The trainers are very knowledgeable and do a great job working with beginners on their form and development. I’ve heard that other facilities kind of «throw people into crossfit» without teaching the fundamentals, but this one has the added benefit of a beginner level class that teaches the basics without holding back on intensity. I’d recommend this gym to anyone that has a strong desire to get into crossfit and wants to see the results right off the bat.
