THE CENTRAL DISTRICT

THE CENTRAL DISTRICT, OR THE CD, IS A HISTORICALLY BLACK NEIGHBORHOOD IN SEATTLE, LOCATED JUST SOUTH OF CAPITOL HILL. WHILE WE ARE LUCKY TO CALL THIS NEIGHBORHOOD HOME, WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE VISITORS WITH AN OBLIGATION TO HONOR AND SUPPORT THE BLACK LEGACY OF THE CD. WE ENCOURAGE MEMBERS AND VISITORS TO FREQUENT THE VARIETY OF BLACK-OWNED BUSINESSES THAT WE’RE FORTUNATE TO HAVE AS NEIGHBORS.

WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT WE ARE ON UNCEDED NATIVE LAND, AND WE GATHER DAILY ON THE ANCESTRAL TERRITORY OF THE DUWAMISH, MUCKLESHOOT AND OTHER COAST SALISH NATIONS. THESE NATIONS ARE THIS LAND’S ORIGINAL STORYTELLERS AND WE ARE GUESTS. SINCE OUR FOUNDING IN 2024 WE HAVE PROUDLY PAID MONTHLY RENT TO THE DUWAMISH TRIBE.

OUR VALUES

  1. LEFT SIDE CROSSFIT IS A HATE FREE ZONE. WE REJECT ALL FORMS OF RACISM, TRANSPHOBIA, HOMOPHOBIA, SEXISM, ABLEISM, AGEISM AND BULLYING OF ANY KIND. WE ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE ARE A WORK IN PROGRESS AND ARE CONSTANTLY SEEKING FEEDBACK FROM OUR MEMBERS AND COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE A SAFER, KINDER SPACE TO EXERCISE.

  2. WE REJECT THE NOTION THAT SPECIFIC PHYSICAL APPEARANCES OR SIZES EQUATE TO HEALTH. WE CELEBRATE ATHLETES OF ALL SHAPES AND SIZES.

  3. WE BELIEVE THAT FOOD IS VERY PERSONAL, AND SHOULD NOURISH YOUR SOUL AS WELL AS YOUR BODY. WE DO NOT PRESCRIBE DIETS, CLEANSES, FADS OR RESTRICTIONS OF ANY KIND FOR OUR ATHLETES. IF YOU ARE SEEKING NUTRITION GUIDANCE WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU FIND A REGISTERED PROFESSIONAL WHO IS MORE QUALIFIED TO DISCUSS YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS.

  4. WE SCALE BACK WEIGHTS AND CUSTOMIZE MOVEMENTS ALL THE TIME, IN EVERY CLASS, EVERY DAY, FOR EVERY ATHLETE. WE ENCOURAGE MEMBERS TO DO THE SAME AND OUR COACHES ARE EXPERTS AT CREATING A SAFE SPACE FOR YOU TO HIT YOUR OWN RELATIVE INTENSITY.

  5. WE BELIEVE THAT HEALTH AND WELLNESS ARE A COLLABORATION AND NOT A COMPETITION. WHILE COMPETITION CAN BE USED AS A TOOL TO CREATE INTENSITY, IT IS NEVER OUR MAIN FOCUS OR END GOAL. WE SEE COMPETITION AS AN OPTIONAL TOOL AND OUR PRIORITY WILL ALWAYS BE THE WELLNESS OF ALL MEMBERS REGARDLESS OF THEIR WORKOUT SCORES.

  6. WHILE WE LOVE THE CROSSFIT METHODOLOGY, WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT CROSSFIT IS THE END-ALL BE-ALL OF FITNESS AND WE ARE COMFORTABLE REJECTING CROSSFIT HEADQUARTERS WHEN THEIR VALUES DO NOT ALIGN WITH OUR OWN. WE LOVE TO LEARN AND COLLABORATE WITH OTHER FITNESS DISCIPLINES AND LOVE WHEN OUR MEMBERS BRANCH OF AND TRY NEW SPORTS!

  7. WE BELIEVE YOU ARE ENOUGH. AS YOU ARE TODAY. IN YOUR CURRENT PHYSICAL FORM. WITHOUT EVER TOUCHING A SINGLE WEIGHT. OUR GOAL IS SIMPLY TO CREATE COMMUNITY THROUGH MOVEMENT AND WE’D BE LUCKY TO HAVE YOU JOIN IN THE FUN.
