I've been a Crossfitter for almost 7 years and a regular member at TPH for almost 2 years. TPH is hands down my favorite of the Crossfit gyms I've worked out at. The coaching is top notch, with a focus on safety and scaling workouts to meet the needs of each individual. The programming is thoughtful, with clearly-defined training cycles and routine retesting to measure our progress. And last but not least, the community is extremely friendly and supportive.

I moved to the area in May of 2022 and tried 5 gyms before I found Twenty Pound Hammer. During my search, the coach at TPH was the first coach in all 6 gyms to ask me if I had any injuries they should know about. I signed up and never looked back.

The coaching and community at this gym is amazing. I’ve grown so much here and would encourage anyone looking to improve their fitness and find community to join the gym.

I can't say enough about how much I have enjoyed my time at CrossFit Twenty Pound Hammer. When I first attended, the team made me feel welcome and wanted to support my ability and help me grow. They asked me about any injury concerns and helped me scale so that I could grow at my own pace and never made me feel like I was in competition or was underperforming against a set standard. I consider the team my friends and the entire gym community has been nothing but amazing. It's been nearly 3 years that I've been attending and I still look forward to the workouts.

I've been working out with the crew at Twenty Pound Hammer off and on for as long as they've been open and my fitness journey always ends up back here. They really do have a special thing going. The training, the space, and the community are all amazing. I attended group classes for years until I wanted to start specializing my training to fit my individual goals and transitioned to their individualized offering. I would recommend that anyone, whether they're new to fitness and training in general, or a seasoned fire breather come and spend a few sessions in the gym. You won't be disappointed.

Been in the gym for a year - everyone is so nice and welcoming here. Nice location, easy to park if you drive, and the coaching I received is top tier quality for sure!

IMO crossfit gym is just like a regular gym but is much more effective and make the most out of workout time. If you are like me going to gym from time to time just to keep adding exercise to daily life, try this gym!

I've been attending this gym for almost a year, and it's been an amazing experience! All of the coaches are extremely welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable.
If you are like me and found yourself wandering around the gym weight room and not pushing yourself in your workouts, I highly recommend you try a class at Twenty Pound Hammer. It's been nothing but rewarding for me physically and emotionally.
I would also add: don't to be intimidated. Everyone is always learning something new and in different places with their skills and fitness level. The coaches do a great job at meeting you at your skill level by scaling workouts so they're doable, while also teaching you new things and pushing you to do your best. In short, it's a wonderful community and I highly recommend this gym!

TLDR: Female-led, amazing coaches, intelligent and safe programming, wonderful community vibes, generous trial plans. 5/5, would recommend to anyone, regardless of skill/fitness level and or familiarity with Crossfit.

Full review: I have been a member at TPH for over a year now (joined Jan 2021,) and I still frequently get emotional regarding what an impact this gym and its coaches have had on my well-being. I cannot say enough or too many good things about Twenty Pound Hammer. I have a history of various eating disorders, body dysmorphia, and exercise addiction, so I was weary of starting Crossfit, given its generic reputation for being anywhere from culty and overly intense to downright unsafe. TPH IS NONE OF THOSE THINGS. Twenty Pound Hammer has allowed me to feel strong and excited about getting stronger. I come from a 20+ year background in dance and have a group fitness certification myself, so my standards and expectations for coaches/instructors is high. The coaches at TPH exceed them *daily.* They are so so smart, so safe, so kind, and so in tune with the people in the room at any given time. They always lead the group through a thorough and relevant warm up, welcome questions, offer lots of scaling options, share helpful tips and tricks, and in general are just amazing. I firmly believe this is the best Crossfit gym in Seattle. Give the gym a try for a week or a month; they have trial plans to see if TPH is a good fit for you! (This ad was not paid or sponsored…I just love them this much.)

I can not recommend this gym and its coaches highly enough. The programming is smart and fun, as are every single one of the coaches, and community as a whole. Definitely a special type of Crossfit gym worth checking out.

This gym is the best in Seattle. Period. If you join any other gym other than Twenty Pound Hammer, you are wasting your time and money.

The two lead coaches, Melissa and Monica, are the best athletic coaches/trainers I have ever experienced. They are incredibly knowledgeable, motivating, and welcoming. They have built a radiating sense of community within this gym as well.

This place and its coaches are the best part of my day. If you want to grow physically, mentally, and personally, join this gym. The coaches genuinely care about every aspect.

I highly recommend a visit to CrossFit Twenty Pound Hammer. The coaches are friendly, knowledgable, experienced, and encouraging. They emphasize safety through proper technique and provide an individualized experience even in a group class setting.

Members range in ability/CF experience from brand new to CrossFit, including those who may be finding their way into (or back into) a workout routine, to seasoned competition-level athletes who make muscle ups look easy and a barbell stacked with 45# plates look light. (...I am not one of the latter.) Modifications or scaling options for movements are always provided, ensuring anyone can participate and have a great workout, regardless of experience or fitness level.

One of the aspects people value most about CrossFit is the community it fosters, and "the Hammer" is no exception. Members' kids and dogs are welcome and frequent spectators; events include summer BBQs, winter ski trips, and intra-gym partner competitions; and the first Saturday of every month is "Bring a Friend" (for free!) day.

Drop-in visitors are encouraged, and many classes begin with a fun icebreaker during warm up to get to know guests and new members. As for facilities, the space is clean and open, with high ceilings, a dedicated lifting area, and all your standard CrossFit equipment. Parking is free and plentiful. Come visit us!

Nothing but good things to say about this place. In the last year I have accomplished numerous fitness goals (pull-ups, finally), made friends, experienced top notch coaching and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

Crossfit Twenty Pound Hammer is everything I'd been hoping for. I'm pushed harder than I pushed myself when going to the gym alone, but there is also a good community of people to "suffer" through workouts with. There is definitely a sense of community and the gym is both kid and dog friendly. Plus, the coaches are great at what they do, including scaling down exercises to match the skill and abilities of gym members. What more could you ask for?

I've been a member for six months and I am now attending classes five days a week (from two days a week) and I feel great! Super supportive community to workout with. The coaches are on point and help everyone achieve good form and set high standards. I have a manual labor based job and have incurred injuries while at work; the coaches are able to scale any movement or lift to my personal needs. I love this gym.
