I did a drop in while I was visiting. Amazing atmosphere. This would be my gym if I lived in Seattle.

Dropped in here since it was within walking distance from my hotel. Its always nice to find places that do early morning classes. Everyone was super nice during the 2 days I was here. If I lived in Seattle Id totally be a member.

Riot Cycle, part of Riot Athletics, has been a great find! I started attending Stacy Vs Sunday AM :60 Performance Cycle rides a year ago and have been hooked since.CROWD:Riders range from very experienced regulars to drop-in novices. Everyone is made to feel welcome. No intimidation factor here regardless of whether you want to be pushed or take it a bit easier one day.EQUIPMENT:--New, very well-maintained spin bikes that are positioned far enough apart to be comfortable. Dont know how to set them? The instructors will be happy to help before class starts.--Big screens connected to the bikes show whos leading the pack overall and for sprints, but each rider can opt out of tracking at the front desk if thats not what youre into.--Cycling shoes are provided by the front desk--Towels provided both before and after class--Remember to bring your own water bottle, and theres a refill station by the front doorPARKING: 2-hour free parking on Sundays along both sides of the street, pay parking Mon through Sat, and a handful of street-level pay lots 2 blocks away.LOCKER ROOMS: The basics are there, including 3 showers for those looking to get in an early workout before work.Highly recommend!

Dropped in for a morning workout. Great coach and great workout. Everyone there made us feel welcome

I was member in 2016-2017 and left because I moved away.Love the place! Great coaches and people!My favorite class is Iron Addicts (11am) which is, you guessed it, more weight focused. As am endurance athlete that is exactly what I needed to put on some muscles.

Riot athletics is doing a lot of things right. Great instructors/coaches, nice equipment, plenty of classes, and clean facilities. I spent only a few months at Riot doing their cycle classes but had to cancel my membership due to moving away from downtown. I had a positive experience but am saddened by the removal of their cycle classes. Times are tough and I understand their reason for sticking to their bread and butter. My only iffy comment about this place is really some of the attendees. Many cycle classes where a leaderboard was present usually included a few participants in the class that weren’t following the program but dominating the leaderboard. I would be lying if I were to say it isn’t a bit unmotivating. I think a good solution for this is to have those people opt out of the leaderboard if they are not interested in follow the instructors program and give the rest of us a fair fight 😅.

Great coaches, great people, great programming. Im seeing great results from attending the crossfit classes just ~3 times a week! Its also clean and has proper locker rooms which is a plus. They just need to get the fabled yoga studio up and running and this gym would be perfection!

I was staying in Seattle during a business trip and looked for a CrossFit class to drop in.The staff was extra-nice, very helpful and professional. The box is well arranged, clean and tidy, and there is a lot of equipment.Finally, the coach (Aidan) was one of the best I ever trained with.Will definitely come back next time I’m in town.

Killer workouts, great staff full of knowledge, and SHOWERS!Seriously, if you are downtown or close to downtown Seattle, this is the place to go to change yo body. CrossFit is a great, fun, challenging-as-hell way to get in shape and put your lazy ways behind you. Jordan and his tribe know all there is to know about fitness and will help you beat your goals.

Really awesome place! Great coaching, super welcoming people, nice programing, and cool installations! I loved dropping in during my visit to Seattle.

I was with Riot Athletics for only a few months, but I very much enjoyed all their classes. The instructors are enthusiastic and friendly, would definitely recommend trying performance/riot cycle, as well as Zumba on the weekends. Because I am such a night owl I eventually couldnt make it to the class times since theyre mainly early mornings and in the afternoons (5pm ish), I was worried about having trouble cancelling my membership but all it took was 1 email.

Been using this location for a year. The staff is attentive and friendly. They have classes throughout the day. They accommodate you and your schedule. Clean bathroom and shower.

Honestly, Ive never been to Riot. However, having worked with Aidan Malody as a fellow trainer at a different gym, I know for a fact that he is one of the best trainers in Seattle if not the entire Northwest. Five stars and high recommendation here.

Great box and great coaches. I dropped in for one class and everyone went out of there way to welcome me. The work out was tough and the facilities are first rate.

Riots bootcamps are my favorite in Seattle! They do a great job of pushing you but still meeting you where youre at. Any athletic levels can participate and have a great time - great team environment and stellar workout!

This is a great gym! All the trainers provide personalized attention within the class format. Within six weeks, I have noticed an incredible difference in my fitness, running performance, energy level and mood. There is no pressure to go paleo, run barefoot, or be anything other than happy. This gym offers a supportive community committed to better fitness. Really happy I joined.

Riot Athletics has a very Crossfit-focused gym, with a training regimen that is top notch. They know how to push you to the limits so that you can achieve more than you thought possible.

If you are looking to workout and community this is the place for you. Workouts are scaled or have options for all types and you have support to push yourself to the distance. I love this place and all the people!

Xplore Crossfit is an awesome gym. The people are great, the trainers are amazing and the programming works. Jordan will push you hard but you will be in the best shape of your life!!!

I’ve been training at Riot for 5 years now. Location is great (just a few blocks from any downtown office), equipment is *amazing* (they have pretty much everything there including all your standard bars/plates/dumbbells, GHD machines, rowers and ski ergs, assault bikes, pull up bars / rings / climbing ropes – and they have stuff you never find elsewhere like yokes, stones, trap bars, etc.), and Jordan knows pretty much everything there is to know about Crossfit. I think he’s been around forever, he’s Level 4 certified, and he certainly knows how to push me harder than any coach I’ve ever had, while also knowing when to stop. Jordan knows my PR even before I do. :)

Jordan is a great, fun motivator who really makes you work! I enjoyed the partnership with Kimpton hotels which allowed me to go to classes at Riot athletics and I enjoyed a few cycle classes as well as 30 minutes of CrossFit which was my first experience with that. Great studio with a nice laid-back feel. Definitely would recommend to anyone in the area!

Really cool club that is all about getting fit. I highly recommend you check it out.

This gym has great equipment, amazing instructors, and classes to fit all fitness needs! More importantly, the community in the gym is close and all are welcome!

This gym is dirty and nasty! You see them handing out free membership cards on the street everyday? A thriving business does NOT give their services away. Ask yourself, what better place for the homeless community to bath and soak than a free gym with free shampoo. Seriously, it is the case. Pay 5 bucks more and join all star up the street, I have no vested interest in them its just a better option.

Convenient downtown location and easy to find, solid facility and equipment, good coaching, friendly community with a variety of athlete levels. Definitely recommend for a drop in and wish I could stay.

Super facilities, tight group of trainers. Spin bikes are new and well set up for class.

Really fun group of trainers, nice facilities, and overall encouraging vibe. If you work downtown and want a short commute to your workout, you should check this place out.

Do yourself a favor and try the Twofer class. You wont regret it. I mean, you *will* regret it, but you wont. If you know what I mean.

I consistently recommend Xplore to friends and family. What differentiates Xplore from other Crossfit gyms is the relentless expertise, and focus on becoming a stronger human - on the inside and outside.The teams knowledge of technique, and their innate ability to know where you can push yourself, in a healthy and safe way, is a rare gift. You will go places you didnt think were possible. And you will meet awesome people while you do it.For me, whether it has been staying in shape for my busy life, or training for an endurance sport, Xplores training and expertise have been key the last two years in consistently taking my fitness to a new level. I am forever grateful for Jordan and his awesome staff for believing in what I and others are capable of.

I was a member of this gym from 2014 - 2017 and the only reason I left was I had to move out of state. I had only apartment gym or YMCA self circuit before joining and thanks to them fitness is now an important part of my life something I never saw coming when I was an obese nerd teenager and early 20yr old. I owe them a lot for how they helped me along my path of change.Jordan, Kristen, and Aidan, along with other trainers always made me feel welcome, pushed me when they knew I could do more or backed off when it wasnt going to happen that day. They supported me in all my goals from supposed physique goals for cosplay or helping me recover from my herniated disc. They genuinely care about their community and make sure everyone gets that. That said they can be an ecxentric group of people which is a little at odds with the way people expect to interact in Seattle but personally as a Midwesterner it was one of the best features. Even now at my current place the programming is similar and class coaching is similar bur the community that Riot demands due to its size limitations just isnt present.The best feature is they want you to be the best you possible and they want you to move weight, correctly and efficiently, improve your health.When ever I traveled and went to CrossFit gyms (or joined new gyms) one of the biggest complements was that my form is excellent. And thats the thing they want you to move right before you move heavy. I would watch our trainers spend entire class sessions with drop-ins just to help them with there form (provided everyone else they trusted or knew they could rely on a senior member to keep an eye on people), thats how committed they are to form enabling function. Something I took to heart and if I ever getting into being a trainer I want to be half as good as them.TL;DR Its a close community that is lead by some attentive, if excentric, people that truely believe in health and fitness. Allow them to help you and youll be surprised how much youre capable of.

Ok. This is one of the few reviews that Im actually excited to write.For those like me, who have never done any serious workouts, has the will, but doesnt know the way, is unsure about how sustainable it is, is worried that other fellow members are way way better than you, works well in a friendly environment, then Riot Athletics is that place for you.I started last year in October after I saw an ad for 6 week challenge, and realized it was the way I was looking for.I took 20 classes, but I knew within the first few classes that it wasnt ending after the challenge.Saying that my mentors: Aeden, Kristen, Jordan and Courtney were great, is an understatement. I made a million mistakes, but they just correct you until you get it, and repeat even if you get it wont again. Its not just a get them to workout for an hour and be done with it, but more like lets do the best workout, together.Our progress is recorded, our strengths and weaknesses are noted and the workouts are built around these factors. Our goals seems like their goals. When I was able to do a movement that wasnt easy for me, I was obviously happy, but so are they. As a novice, I was afraid to ask questions, afraid Ill make stupid mistakes, afraid Id be embarrassing. But I think thats the best thing about Riot Athletics, the mentors make you workout (a lot), and they just dont care about how many times you all them, theyll just be there.There are still monthly challenges, and they really test you. But now, after a year, I feel happy, I feel strong, I feel healthy, and I feel going here is the best part of my day.Also, this is not just for newcomers, if youre already good at CrossFit, there are amazing people with whom you can workout with, who would support, inspire and challenge you to do better.Has locker rooms, clean shower, street parking nearby. They offer CrossFit, Cycle, Twofer(mix of CrossFit and Cycle) Circut, Nutritionist and Boot camp.

Coaches are great. Even as a drop in they take the time to help you improve!

Xplore Crossfit is the best Crossfit gym in Seattle. The programming is thoughtful and effective and the trainers are passionate. Jordan, the owner, is an incredible coach. He might come off as tough, but he really cares about everyone in the gym. He will push you hard, but get you to places you never thought possible. I hit more PRs with Jordan than anyone else. My entire body has transformed since I started working out at Xplore Crossfit. The community is amazing as well. Everyone is supportive and pushes each other to get better.

Great times. Great atmosphere

Great owner. Great clients

Great community, great instructors.

Great new spin classes

Great for functional movement

Great drop in session

The customers are rude and inconsiderate of others.

Couldn’t be more impressed!
