CrossFit Everett

Best Crossfit place ever! I love going to workout now! The coaches are great & the workouts are fun! I recommend this place to everyone!

I have been going to CrossFit Everett for a year and the only thing I regret is I didn’t find it sooner. From the moment I stepped through the door I felt welcomed by Jesse and every member there. It is a gym like no other. I have always «worked out», but never been an athlete. I am transforming every day and am actually conquering fears and feeling strong and confident. This wouldn’t be happening without the support and encouragement of Jesse and Randy, the trainers. Their expertise and encouragement is unmatched. I have never felt judged or looked down upon for anything I’m not able to do yet. They have been so patient and encouraging even though I can be pretty uncoordinated at times. They have a knack for translating their knowledge so I can actually put it in action.
Walking in the door at CFE is my favorite part of the day. Some days I am nervous about the workout, but it is the best feeling to have accomplished it. And I love being there early and staying after to chat with everyone, there are so many great people. I am in the best shape of my life and cannot say enough about how important CFE is in my life.

I have been with Crossfit Everett since the first day they opened the doors in 2009, and have watched the steady improvement in the gym ever since Jesse Thompson purchased it in 2010. You will not find many gyms like this; where the trainers know your abilities well, train you to improve your specific weaknesses, help scale the workouts to your individual fitness level, educate you on physiology and nutrition, and safely push you to your current limits in search of new ones.
It is a unique environment filled with fun, hard work, and encouragement (from trainers and fellow workout mates). I’ve traveled extensively and visited many different Crossfit gyms, and I can confidently say that Crossfit Everett is a special place. If you are in search of something that will help you become more active, grow physically and mentally, and push you to do things that you never thought you could do… all while making new friends, then this is the gym for you.

The trainers were rude, unprofessional, did not give any direction or help, other than to share new client assessments in order to mock their current abilities. The Everett CrossFit does not represent the true CrossFit culture and needs an attitude adjustment. I have many friends that are certified trainers and they were disappointed in how horribly people were treated. DO NOT GO TO THE EVERETT CROSSFIT

This isn’t a place you’ll find treadmills, stair climbers or elliptical machines (that’s down the block at Golds) — weights, rowers, medicine balls and padded floors for those who are serious about improving bottom line fitness, are what you will find at CrossFit Everett.
I actually drove by the place a couple of times to work up the gumption to stop (the sign outside says «elite fitness», who am I kidding?). I ended up calling Jesse, the owner to figure it out. His encouragement, professionalism and just plain personality will make you feel at home in the sense of being comfortable in a place you may have never been before. What I found is that CrossFit is for anyone who is serious about being fit — no matter age, sex or current abilities. Jesse encourages you to come in for a free fitness assessment, take a tour of the facility, see if it’s for you — there’s no pressure, there’s no contracts, there’s no ‘ick’ factor.
Watching Jesse interact with everyone — laughter to motivation to praise — I’ve found him to be a no judgments kind of person, who provides focused coaching, feedback and encouragement across the board — looking to find what motivates each person he works with. He has the patience of a saint (something my uncoordinated body needs!) and customizes the workouts based on your current levels & abilities with just a little ‘push’ to keep you striving. The class sizes in the foundation class (a class just for beginners, so you get familiar with the equipment, learn how to use it safely, develop good form and practice technique) are small so you get individual attention and build your comfort with the equipment, routines as well as your ‘muscle memory’. The workouts are continually changing, so there is always challenge. The people I’ve met have been friendly, helpful and encouraging; the facility is clean, has some great views of the water along with street parking that so far has been plentiful. I actually head to class a little early sometimes just to watch some of the other members — there is a lot of motivation in watching how they move and what they can do.
I believe fitness isn’t about how I look but how I feel and how I move. CrossFit and Jesse has truly kicked my butt, had me totally sucking wind at times, leaving me sore in places I had no idea I could actually get sore in AND it’s given me results that I can see and feel in a short period of time and it’s only getting better.
