Our Story…

How it started…

We started doing CrossFit workouts at Greenlake park in the summer of 2007. After building a gathering in the park using only two kettlebells, a pair of rings and our bodies, we opened a small box on Lake City Way where we grew our movement base and refined our training styles. In 2009, Foundation CrossFit moved to Capitol Hill and has situated itself as the premier fitness and instruction facility in Seattle.

Our Philosophy

Fitness for everyone.

The CrossFit program is designed for universal scalability, making it the perfect application for any committed individual regardless of experience. We’ve used our same routines for elderly individuals recovering from heart disease to professional athletes preparing for nationwide competitions. We don’t change programs to achieve this; we scale load and intensity.

In addition to CrossFit, we have a Barbell Club, and we offer seasonal classes including HIIT, Endurance, Gymnastic Strength, Mobility, Competitive Exercise, and more!

Our Commitment

We understand that the one hour we work with you in the gym has a profound effect on the other 23 hours that you spend outside our space.

Our programs provide an encouraging, non-intimidating vibe that allows each member to feel part of our community. Every exercise, every workout, and every class at Foundation CrossFit can be modified or intensified to suit your current fitness level. In a typical class you will see a combination of office workers, moms, active military, college students, former and current professional athletes as well as everyday fitness enthusiasts. We all work together to achieve the same goal: constantly improving fitness.

Our facility may be difficult to find! Look for the red barn doors between the Ferrari/Maserati dealership and the Pacific Supply Hardware store. Come inside and down the ramp to the 6,500 square foot fitness space.

Alternatively you can find our other door from the courtyard in the Chophouse Row on 11th ave.

Metered parking is available throughout the neighborhood, $1.50/hour from 8am-11am, $2.50/hour between 11am-5pm, and $3.50/hour from 5pm-10pm (coins, credit card, or paybyphone). Free parking is available on Sundays.

Hint: There are non-metered spots toward the southeast between Union Street and 12th Ave, if you’re willing to walk a few extra blocks. If you do, you might choose to energize yourself with one of our local espresso roasters or homemade ice cream shops, just a few blocks away!

There are several ways to get close to our location via public transit. The Link Light Rail, and #2/10/11/12/13/49 buses make their way up the hill from the Downtown area, within a few blocks of us!  King County Metro Trip Planner

Another option is to take the First Hill Line of the Seattle Street Car that runs from Pioneer Square through Capitol Hill and makes a stop a few blocks away from us at Broadway and Pike.

Otherwise, enjoy the fresh air of the Pacific Northwest and walk up the hill to us. We are just about a mile from downtown!

Looking for a place to stay in close proximity to your gym of choice while you’re in town? We don’t blame you.

The Silver Cloud Hotel is right down the block on Broadway, located in the middle of all the vibrant Pike/Pine action.

If you’re craving a little more peace and quiet along with historical charm, Hotel Sorrento is just a bit further southwest down Madison Street towards downtown.

There is much to do in our neck of the woods. We recommend checking out The Capitol Hill Seattle Blog for the latest in neighborhood happenings.
