Not opening on December 1, but making progress!
CrossFit 206 is not ready to open in the garage tomorrow as we’d hoped in earlier weeks. Work on the garage continues. As soon as it’s done, we will move in some gear and open the doors to you. At that point I’ll send an email notice to everyone who’s asked to be on the list. Thanks for your patience and support. Want to be on the notification list? Let me know.
Read MoreCrossFit 101 talk by Coach Greg Glassman
I was lucky enough to go to CrossFit founder Greg Glassman’s talk last Saturday at CrossFit Bellevue, thanks to gym pal Jim who had a ticket but couldn’t go.

To help me plan classes when we open, let me know what day(s) and times of day you’re interested in...
Read MoreFive years passed in the time it takes for a barbell to hit the ground
Today is my last day as an employee at CrossFit Seattle. Dave and Nancy and their whole gym community are, more than any career or hobby I’ve ever had, the people who inspired me to do my best and to be my best self. Their training and inspiration is what led us to open CrossFit 206 here in our part of Seattle. (We’re still planning to open December 1 in Jim’s garage, 323 33rd Ave. E.) Favorite CrossFit Seattle/CrossFit North memories: - The giant, tall windows and ceiling in...
Read MoreTom is off to CrossFit Level 1 certification
Tom has been doing CrossFit for more than five years. He has all of the CrossFit Journals spiral-bound and has read them all many times over the years. There’s no more spiral binding now that the Journal is no longer emailed out as a PDF, so he reads it online and watches all the videos instead. (You should all subscribe to it. Feed your obsession.) Tom has been a great student of CrossFit and has had stellar results personally with his fitness and flexibility. Certifications and...
