I dropped in for 2 weeks at Left Side, and it was the best CrossFit experience I’ve had period. I travel for work so have been to a dozen gyms now or so, and I’ve never felt so comfortable so quickly like I did here.
Beyond just the good vibes, the coaches were so helpful. I received great pointers and they even filmed me and showed me areas I could improve in my form.
For anyone on the fence about CrossFit, I couldn’t recommend this gym if you want to try it out. The coaches are on point, and more importantly everyone is so fun, kind, and inclusive. I wish I lived in Seattle so I could be a member!

The atmosphere of the gym is warm and encouraging, the coaches are amazing - knowledgeable, attentive to form, and great at scaling workouts. The equipment is plentiful and well-maintained. The gym is spotless every time I’m there. I feel at home here. Thank you Mike, all coaches and other members, who create this atmosphere! Highly recommend.

I had an amazing experience at my first CrossFit class here! The community was incredibly welcoming, and the staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable despite my initial nerves. Their attentive guidance and support made it a fantastic introduction to CrossFit. Highly recommend!

Dropped in at Left Side and couldn't be happier with my experience. I am a gym owner myself, and when I visit a gym I like to withhold this information so that I can gather info about intake process and how new clients are handled without being treated differently.
The staff at Left Side was very welcoming and introduced us to the class, asked about injuries/ experience, and conducted a great first experience. The space was pristine and class was friendly, to the point where it almost didn't feel like my first visit. I will be back when visiting Seattle and I highly recommend this gym to anyone who may be shopping and is a bit nervous to get started.

Left Side CrossFit is an amazing gym. The owners and coaches are kind and the classes are not only challenging, but fun as well. This is truly a space where everyone is welcome, and the members make this gym a home. I’ve made more friends than I can count here….. Seattle Freeze who? Going consistently has helped me gain confidence and has made me a happier, healthier person. If you’re an experienced CrossFit-er or looking to try for the first time, don't hesitate to check this place out! Thank you Mike and Joe for providing this opportunity for our community!

Greatest sense of community I have ever found in a gym! The members are super nice and supportive. I thought I knew how to Olympic Lift when I started here, but with Mike’s careful tutelage, I am learning better technique and hitting new PRs every month.

Left Side is my second home. It’s my neighborhood community in Seattle. Building community with others who prioritize their health (both physical and mental) and the health of their friends is what it’s all about. Plus killer workouts obviously. The space is amazing, brand new equipment that the owner and members take care of. Ive been “crossfitting” for 10 years and I still learn new things in class everyday. Come check us out!

Mike and Leftside were my re-intro into CrossFit after bad experiences with hyper competitive gyms, and what a completely different and amazing experience. For anyone who’s ever been weary of trying CrossFit because it seems intimidating or too intense or for the “youths”, give this gym a try. I’m three kids postpartum and have never felt better taken care of in my fitness goals. Finding strength in physicality and community :)

This gym is something special. It's one of those places that is only part gym, but also community. After only having gone to a few classes, I was in a coffee shop near by, and one of the other members saw me—he called me by name to say hello and ask how my day was going. I was somewhat surprised, but in the time since, I've found that level of paying attention to each other and being welcoming is only par for the course at Left Side.
The work outs themselves? Prepare to get pukey and feel like you can lift your arms. The equipment is well maintained and clean, the workouts are tough, and the coaching is on point. You will get a burn. And not only that, but the coaches make a huge effort to get to know everyone individually. If there's something you need modification for, they're usually thinking about it before you even show up to class and they help make sure you're still going to get your money's worth from the workout.
Support a fantastic local small business and join a stunning community.

Globo gym convert checking in.
Historically a big fan of solo workouts, loud music in headphones, minimal human interaction. No time for weirdly-named workouts, crazy rep schemes, or working out with other people.
But… but…
There’s something going on here. It’s good. The coaches, the people, something in the water, I’m not sure. But it works. Left Side has me doing the weird moves and screaming and covering my whole body in chalk. I don’t get it. But it’s GOOD. Check it out.

Great space and excellent coaches. They go through each movement and offer alternatives if you have an injury or are not comfortable with the movement. Coaches and members are friendly and welcoming. I love the addition of open gym times in addition to coached workouts.

New gym with a great atmosphere and awesome coaches.
I haven't worked out in years. When I go the coaches come up with a perfect scaled version of the workout. So nice to be able to rely on their expertise to make sure I get a good workout but don't overdue it.
AND they have AC!

I love this gym! I enrolled primarily for the open gym access to use the equipment for my workouts, and it's been a great experience. The staff and members are incredibly welcoming, creating a friendly and motivating environment where everyone is dedicated to their fitness goals. The open gym hours are flexible, making it easy to fit workouts into my schedule. Big thanks to Mike for opening such a fantastic gym right at my doorstep!

I’ve tried a few other CrossFit gyms in the area, and I’ve found my home at Left Side. Mike and his team provide a welcoming atmosphere along with great coaching. Most importantly, they’re willing to scale the movements to match your skill level and goals. The community is awesome, and I look forward to working out with them every morning.

I have felt apprehensive to workout after having a baby—for many reasons. Concerned about keeping up in a class, worried about the time it takes and being away from my family, and not being strong enough.
Everything about how Left Side CrossFit operates addressed those fears. Class times starting on the half hour makes a big difference when you want to workout earlier but 4pm or 5pm are not possible—530pm is perfect. Getting out the door in time is harder than ever, but the understanding and encouragement from the coaches when you are able to get there.
I can feel less intimidated about a workout because I know there will be support to scale or adjust. Double under with a jump rope are not happening after having a baby. IYKYK
The coaching is top tier. Movements will be well explained. You can ask questions and get answers backed by knowledge and experience.
I appreciate the overall approachable, safe, and comfortable environment. This space is more than a gym, it feels like a growing community in this special neighborhood.
