I never liked going to gym. I used to hate strength training. The tide has turned and I look forward to going gym now. Thanks to Persistence athletics for making me fall in love with strength training and conditioning.

PA is my 3rd gym in Seattle Downtown, and it will be a tough challenge for any other gym to compete with this one.Easily one of the most inclusive gyms, it doesn’t matter where your current fitness levels stand; Ravi, Jacqui, and AJ will modify the workout plans and ensure you’re getting fitter while paying attention to your form.The trainers think long-term, which helps them push you if you’re taking things easy or ask you to chill if you’re overconfident. The focus is always on not getting injured yet consistently pushing yourself. They will help you build skills and train across Olympic lifting, strength workouts, hypertrophy, and conditioning. You will improve overall mobility and become stronger. And it never gets boring because they continuously alter workout routines for more coverage.The sense of community is strong; besides the trainers, people will cheer you, motivate you, try to be friends, and ensure you’re having a good time when you enter the premises.

I rarely write reviews, but I want to write one for Persistence Athletics. PA is an excellent place for workouts and to learn how to make your lifestyle much healthier. Their personal and group training programs are AMAZING. Jacqueline and Ravi are the best trainers I have had the pleasure of training with. They tailor each workout, pay detailed attention to your progress, guide you, and help you become the healthiest version of yourself. They train people over a broad scale, from beginners (like me) to serious fitness professionals participating in extreme fitness tests around Washington. PA is a huge gym, clean and filled with great equipment. Jacqueline and Ravi are dedicated and have an intense passion for and knowledge of fitness. They genuinely want to see people take physical health seriously and build a passion for it. The nurturing community they have created is filled with vibrant, positive people who encourage and inspire each other. The nutrition program they offer is excellent (and yum). My physical fitness, endurance, overall energy, and mood improved significantly compared to where I was six months ago. My belt size has gone down by four notches after four years :D Now, I look forward to my gym sessions and my following (first) marathon. Katie is also an excellent coach in this gym who inspires people to do their best and drives them to do it. I can keep writing a lot appreciating this PA community but I'll let you fill in the rest and take the first step. I recommend this gym wholeheartedly to anyone who wishes to get into a healthier lifestyle, make friends, and have fun while pursuing fitness.

I have been going to this gym for a few years now. I love the training approach. The style is very close to having a personal coach but also with benefit of having a community for accountability. Love it!

Absolutely enjoy working out with Ravi and team!As a beginner to fitness, I needed personal attention, lots of guidance and care. And this is EXACTLY what I got at this gym! With every workout, even if it’s a group session, it feels like it’s catered to me and my goals. Plus, I absolutely love the sense of community that’s created here, looking forward to many more fun sessions at this highly enthusiastic place (no matter what time of the day)!

Best crossfit gym in a long time! I’d tried them all and my biggest complain was the coaches not realizing my true threshold- either giving me really simple targets or overcomplicating to the point of failure. At persistence, the coaches have the knack for realizing your true limits and working incrementally to expand them. There is also rush or pressure because the focus is on technique and safety. I especially enjoy working with Jackie with whom I’ve now lifted weights I couldn’t imagine I could! And all this while having a lot of fun! The community and environment are a plus huge as well! Really happy to have come upon this gym!

My fiancé and I were in for a long weekend and stubbled upon this great gym walks away from where we were staying. The staff was super kind and welcoming. The gym is in great condition, super clean, and had everything we needed. Jacque was super friendly and also provided us with fun hiking recommendations to hit up while we were in town! We would recommend this gym to anyone visiting the Seattle area!Logan and Dennis

Ravi and Jacque are both so very welcoming and they definitely care about their clients fitness journey as well as overall wellbeing! I have never once felt pressured by Jacque which was my fear of getting a personal trainer in the first place.

This review is long overdue as I’ve been a regular at PA for over 2 years - the longest I’ve been with a specific fitness studio. With a history of back ache, I was concerned about joining a cookie cutter CrossFit box. But PA is anything but. I’ve hit fitness milestones I did not think was possible and have never felt this great about my fitness level.Like the other reviewers have said, the coaches (Ravi, Jacque and AJ) are absolutely amazing - they spend time getting to know you and provide individual attention to make sure everyone is using the correct form. The environment at the gym is fun, welcoming and collaborative - everyone’s individual achievement is celebrated - be it progressing from 15lb barbell to 35lb barbell (like I did initially :)) or hitting a new PR for the more experienced athletes.I am such a huge fan of PA that at 9 months pregnant, I'm still a regular. And the main reason is because of how supportive Ravi and the team have been throughout. Every class he would check in on me and customize my workout, ensuring my movements were pregnancy-safe but also making me pregnancy-strong. So much so that sometimes few of my workouts were totally different from the class schedule - which I thought could be a hassle and disruptive to the class - this isn’t a prenatal class after all. But the coaches never made me feel bad about it. You can feel that they are truly there to support every single person's fitness journey no matter where they’re at.So if you’re considering checking out the gym, don’t hesitate. Join us today!

After delivering baby , I had lost my body strength and balance. I wanted to start some kind of workout but my confidence level was very low. Then , I was introduced to persistence athletics by my friend and indeed it turned out to be my best decision! I was trained by Jackie , she taught me right forms and motivated me to believe in myself . Place is very clean with huge variety of equipments. All the trainers there highly experienced and excellent. Ravi who is the owner of the place, takes personal care of each individual. Ravi has been very patient with newcomer like me , teaching me weight training,while listening calming to all my silly questions. This place has positive energy. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a healthy lifestyle and perfect body .

Persistence Athletics has been a game-changer for me. I joined looking for a solid fitness routine, and I got so much more. The coaches here are top-notch, always ready to help and provide expert guidance. Whether you're new to working out or a seasoned pro, they've got your back.The initial training I got from Andy was very useful for building up the foundations and then the group classes by Ravi were just awesome.What I love most about this gym is the vibe. It's a place where hard work meets community support. You're in an environment where everyone's striving for their goals, and positive energy is contagious.As for the facilities, they've got a great variety of equipment to cater to different workout styles. Everything's clean and well-maintained so that you can focus on your sessions without any hassles.Persistence Athletics has given me a fitness routine I actually look forward to. If you're serious about your health and fitness, give this place a shot. It's a solid choice for achieving your goals in a supportive environment.

I had the opportunity to drop into Persistence last week while traveling for work. First impressions are always lasting and the first impression that was made there was one of community. The owners Ravi and Jacque met me at the door and welcomed me like an old friend. The facility is enormous and has all of the fun new “toys” that one would want to work out with. My class coach AJ coached me all three days with a kindness and expertise that one looks for in a gym setting.I travel quite a bit for work and always look to drop in new places while I am out and about. Persistence will be a community that I continue to drop into when it comes time to travel through the Seattle area. Excellent location , phenomenal space, coaches that care and understand their member’s needs, and a community base that everyone should strive for.

Great gym and vibe! The trainers are very knowledgeable and supportive and so is everyone else. For newbies like me there are alternatives to slowly scale to the strictest form of the exercises. The exercises are always changing and there is a variety that makes the classes fun and challenging at the same time. I recommend this to anyone who is planning to check it out!
