When it comes to gyms, culture and inclusion are very important to me. At Crossfit MKG these values among others are part of the mantra they live by.I have found Crossfit MKG to be very sensitive to the varying needs of their members. Recently I had surgery and was out almost 2 months and the support I received upon my return was invaluable in regaining my former strength and stamina.Every class I go to, I can expect a hello from the coach and a review of movements so that I can be successful in completing the workout to the best of my ability.All successes are celebrated, large and small. The coaches lead with a warmth and passion that makes coming to class a satisfying experience every time.

I've been a member for a couple of weeks now and I am loving it! The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and fun. This is the smallest box that I have been to but somehow it just works... good planning? Lol. But what's most important is that I don't feel like just another number for commission, I feel like a person here.

At CrossFit MKG I get personalized instruction during class workouts which has helped me exceed my fitness goals. Instructors Scott and Tammy provide high quality training in a positive environment. The MKG community is supportive, fun, and strong day in and day out.

Been a member for almost 8 years, and have nothing but positive things to say. Not a meathead gym, all abilities coexist and members are supportive of each other. The coaches at MKG can find a way to accommodate any issues, from injuries to disabilities. It's a very welcoming environment and I love the community. I hope to be a member for many more years to come!

Just some personal context before my review:Before starting at MKG Crossfit in July 2022, I can safely say I had not done any meaningful exercise/fitness since high school/college, so give or take 10 years. So this review is being written by someone who essentially had very little experience with gyms/really anything fitness related, as most of the exercise I did do when I was younger was just long distance running (CC+track and field). Also, I'm a total desk jockey both professionally and recreationally.It's safe to say I was very much a clean slate and had no idea what to expect not only at this gym, but in the world of Crossfit in general.So where to begin...All the coaches are fantastic. They really listen to your goals/needs to help you get the most out of whatever you are looking for fitness wise. They prioritize safety above all else, and will dynamically scale the workouts for every member of the class if needed to match every single person's fitness level (if the 3 already suggested levels of difficulty don't quite fit). An emphasis is placed on doing the movements/workouts correctly, rather than encouraging you to bite off more than you can chew.How is that possible you may ask?The classes are kept small. I don't believe the classes ever have more than 12 slots which makes it very easy for the coaches to sprinkle 1-on-1 time and attention to anyone that may need it. Speaking as an amateur, my sprinkle is admittedly really more of a downpour and yet the coaches still have time to make their way to the other members of the class.Lastly, the coaches themselves are very attentive and knowledgeable; and more importantly, if there is something they do not know, they will not try to pretend they do know and put their students at risk with questionable info. No egos to be found here. That being said, the gaps in knowledge seem incredibly few and far in between.On the topic of egos; the members of this gym are all so helpful and encouraging. I've somehow yet to witness any bad vibes or rude comments between any members or staff. Everyone seems to be on the same page of just doing your best, and having a fun time doing it. The more experienced members are also very willing and enthusiastic about giving tips to those less well versed.The equipment: Every member has a designated area with matching equipment that will be used for the workout that day. Even if a class is full, you usually have a very adequate amount of space to do your workout in peace without colliding with anyone.Cons: The only real con I can think of is that scheduling on the weekend is very limited compared to the business week, so obviously an issue if you are a weekend warrior.Oh actually, I can think of one more con;I feel like I got very lucky with this being my first gym, any future memberships at other locations are bound to disappoint me because of the high bar Crossfit MKG has set for my expectations.Just try this place out, you won't regret it.

When I moved to the area, I wanted to find a gym that was conveniently located, so I tried out MKG. I feel very lucky to have found them. I think a lot of folks are intimidated by the term "cross fit" But this is crossfit in the best way possible - collaborative, so you get to know your fellow gym members, intentional, and safe. Tammy and Scott, plus the other coaches prioritize teaching everyone good technique and assuring that we are working out safely and sustainably. It really doesn't get better than this, as far as local gyms go!

I had barely ever set foot in a gym before joining Crossfit MKG in Nov 2019. It's been a wonderful experience. The workouts are varied and can be easily scaled to accommodate skill/fitness levels. The coaches are friendly, attentive and safety conscious. They truly care about each individual's personal goals and unique needs. They have created a warm, supportive and encouraging community environment in which people can learn, play and sweat!

I’ve been to a few CrossFit gyms and MKG is by far the best one. Coaches are super attentive and I feel like this has made me improve my form on several lifts. The environment is also very friendly and judgement-free, which makes the whole experience way more pleasant.

MKG is so welcoming! I never thought I'd try CrossFit but the coaches here were so helpful making modifications as needed. It's also such a fun group of members who encourage each other and like to have fun without any ego.

The MKG staff emanates professionalism and hospitality. I am consistently challenged by the coaches and have seen an appreciable increase in my overall fitness. I think you will be hard pressed to find a Crossfit gym of equal value in the greater Seattle area and I found their prices to be more than fair; they even have a military/veteran discount. If you reading this, this is your sign to come join us!
