Why Us
CrossFit Lake Stevens is more than just a gym, it’s a community of individuals – owner, coaches, athletes, and families – that share a common set of values about fitness and health. We are passionate about helping people become the best version of themselves, welcoming athletes from every walk of life and experience level, and we’re committed to helping members find the right program and fit for them – even if that might not be with us.
Our programming may seem random to the athlete and that’s a good thing! But the fact is that CrossFit workouts are in reality anything but random. Great CrossFit coaches make sure everything is well thought out weeks or sometimes months ahead of time. CrossFit workouts need to account for many different domains. The “unknown and unknowable” is one of CrossFit’s key concepts.
The programmer should know everything being thrown at an athlete and why. If you are constantly crushing people that is not good for the body and can most likely lead to an injury. At CrossFit Lake Stevens we know exactly what you need because we’ve lived it, studied it, tested it, put it into practice and take our jobs seriously so can feel confident about putting your trust in us.
Testimonials
We appreciate the changes that you have implemented at the gym to include: cleaning and beautifying the gym, the addition of new stretching (ROMWOD) classes, and your idea to recognize gym athletes by hanging a photo of them on thewall – Nice touch!We made the decision to join CrossFit LS so Jason and I could do our conditioning/strength workouts as a couple since we mostly do our cardio workouts individually. Also, the gym’s location is incredibly convenient for us as we live only minutes away, and it’s nice to work out in a small class size environment where we are positively encouraged (and pushed to do our very best) each day.Overall, we love your positive energy and willingness to help us achieve our goals so Thank you!

I joined Crossfit Lake Stevens because I wanted to improve my overall health and fitness. I didnt know anyone who worked out there nor did I have a clue what to expect. I was so impressed with the workout and the attentiveness of the coach. They teach you everything and ensure you understand the proper techniques. Thereis no need to worry about not being able to do something as the coach can adjust any workout to meet your personal fitness needs. My favorite part? A new workout everyday and always a challenge. I now bring my kids and we ALL love it. It’s by far the best part of our day.

Crossfit Lake Stevens is an amazing place. I love the team atmosphere that the owner Shane and his family have created. It is so refreshing to see many of the same faces returning. But, also a credit to how well it is run, the fresh faces continuing to get hooked. The space is very clean and well organized. The coaching is absolutely top notch. I am proud to call this place my home away from home!

CrossFit Lake Stevens has been life changing in only 4 months. My 14 year old daughter and I go here together. It has brought us closer and I can be a good example of what a healthy lifestyle can look and feel like. It has increased my strength and stamina allowing me to perform on my all star roller derby team as a MVP jammer. It has enhanced my daughter’s strength allowing her to make her school varsity wrestling team. I had previously invested a lot of money in personal trainers at local gyms and never saw the results I am getting here. Every class gets you personal attention and scaled workouts that are safe and effective. You are encourage to only do better than your previous self. In addition the community of people are absolutely amazing, inviting, encouraging, and supportive. You never feel like an outsider. We even have monthly get togethers outside of the gym, allowing you to develop connections and friendships with some of this communities best citizens. Best decision I have made for myself and my family is to be a part of this.

I found Crossfit Lake Stevens through my parents, Mike and Laura. Before I dropped in to CFLS I had never done crossfit before, I was a gymnast for about 10 years when I was younger but never found a sport I could really get in to after I stopped gymnastics until I found CrossFit. Everyone at CFLS was great. The coaches, the community, and the gym made me want to keep coming back. The community at CFLS is unlike any other gym I have personally been a part of, and I am so grateful for this gym and the people here.

I love CrossFit Lake Stevens for many reasons. Since I started three years ago I have lost 45 lbs. and gained muscle! I have been successful at keeping the weight off and feeling stronger each day. Another reason I love LSCF is because I enjoy the structure and not having to figure out my own work out plan for the day. I have received help not just with working out, but also nutrition which helped me succeed with weight loss and feeling better in general. Shane is always there to encourage me and hold me accountable which I really need and enjoy. He treats us like family because we are a family!

Having been to many gyms and many personal trainers and having sustained injuries, my time at CrissFit Lake Stevens has been fantastic. It has a family and community feel. Their conditioning class makes it possible for folks who aren’t ready for CrossFit but are still seeking physical fitness and strength training. I’ve been injury free since starting a year ago. Shane is a committed and attentive trainer. Gym is highly professional with a strong mission statement. Very satisfied.

As an original member of CrossFit Lake Stevens, I have seen many people come and go. However, we have always had a core group of members that have made CFLS a comfortable and inviting gym. We lift and laugh while getting in great workout.

Before coming to CFLS I was struggling in multiple facets of life – socially, emotionally, and especially, physically. Having a background in competitive sports, Iwas struggling to channel both my inner competitiveness in a productive fashion and cultivate genuine relationships. From day one at CFLS, I felt improvement in both of these areas. Having seen myriad individuals walk through the doors at CFLS since, I can confidently say that this staff and membership will meet you wherever you are at in your life and make you fitter, happier, and gain a sense of belonging inan amazing community.

We had been doing Crossfit for a few years when we moved to Lake Stevens and were looking for a new home gym. We came from a Crossfit gym where ego was the number one priority for it’s members, so walking into Crossfit Lake Stevens was, and still is, a breath of fresh air. The community here is so kind and supportive to anyone who walks in the door, no matter their age, gender, or fitness level. The coaches take great care to make sure that the workouts are scalable so that everyone can work out safely, but that can also turn up the intensity for more experienced athletes. I would highly recommend Crossfit Lake Stevens to those who have never tried Crossfit, and seasoned athletes alike. Shane and his family take great care of this gym and it’s members! Plus, if you’re lucky, you’ll get to meet one or more of his amazing golden retrievers!” Amber I started CrossFit almost 5 years ago, and like most I was drug into it by a good friend. I was overweight, scared as hell, and thought there was no way I could do this. But I was finally ready for a change, not just physically but mentally. CrossFit has done that and it has changed my life. My first six months were rough and it if it wasn’t for a solid support group, that every CrossFit gym I have been in has, I wouldhave likely given up. I look back on that person and I’m so happy that I stuck with it. I have lost 45 lbs and in the best shape of my life at 37 years old. I have achieved things that would never have thought possible inside and outside of the gym. One of the keys to success is surrounding yourself with positive people. I have never been to a bad CrossFit box, the communities are strong, and the support is endless. CrossFit Lake Stevens is no exception and Shane has a passion for health and wellness that he can’t hide, and it radiates throughout his gym.

I started this yesterday but then erased it I don’t know why this is so challenging forme, lol! So here goes: the day I came in and inquired about Crossfit Lake Stevens I was 51 years old extremely overweight and out of shape. walking upstairs I would be out of breath and I was mentally and physically at rock bottom thinking that my life was over, I was an aerobic instructor in my 20’s a runner and ate well and maintained my weight. As the years went by and some bumps in the road of life theweight slowly crept on I quit teaching and lost my passion for exercise and going to the gym was a chore. Through the years my weight would fluctuate and I felt lost with how to eat to fuel my body. As I drove from gym to gym and toured and asked questions I felt the same feeling of dread that I just wasn’t excited about starting a new program I felt hopeless. I kept driving by CFLS and noticed the sign my knowledge of Crossfit was none and assumed it was for athletes and fit young people but curiosity got the better of me and I went in and inquired I was met by Shane a coach with a grin who greeted me with open arms and I was pleasantly surprised that it was for anyone willing to give it a try! I signed up excited to learn something new but hesitant to get out of my comfort zone. What I got out of it was so much more than I imagined. My first year was rough, numerous times I caught the flu, colds, 3 months of vertigo and numerous injuries I wanted to quit and give up but I was determined not to go back to isolating myself from life! I have met amazing people and coaches that support me when I struggle and cheer me on when I push myself to be better. I have lost 86 lbs learned to eat better and I enjoy working out with my new family. I still struggle and have bad days but I know walking in and working out I always leave with a smile on my face and feel amazing,Thank you ♥

I grew up always playing sports and had a relatively active lifestyle. After graduatinghigh school, working out became more of a chore and wasn’t something I ever looked forward to doing. After getting married, I still felt this way about the gym so Itook up running and that was only fun until wasn’t. I had a friend who was trying to get me to do CrossFit since 2012! Finally in 2018 I decided to try it and it filled that void I felt was always missing – fitness that was fun. Not only is it a fun way to get a workout in, the movements are constantly varied and can be modified no matter what your fitness level is! I am 25 weeks pregnant and have been able to consistently do CrossFit safely 3-4 days a week. There is a workout in Crossfit for everyone no matter what your limitations might be. Everyone here has the same goal as you: to try and be the best version of themselves.I think the most important thing about CrossFit for me is the community. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable and just want to help you reach your goals. Plus you leave with more friends than you came in with. Community is what makes Crossfit so special and keeps me coming back for more. I also want to thank owner and head coach Shane and everything he has put into the gym since taking ownership. He really cares about this community and wants everyone to have fun while achieving their fitness goals. Thank you for all you do!!
