About Us

FITNESS REFINED

From high-quality equipment to exciting programming led by a passionate coaching team, every aspect of our gym was curated to enhance your fitness experience.

High-Quality Equipment

High Quality Equipment

Each piece of our equipment has been meticulously chosen with quality and safety in mind.

Foam Plyo Boxes

Jump without fear here as our foam boxes provide a stable surface to jump on while reducing risk of injury. We've removed the chance of painful shin cuts common with wooden boxes by removing them entirely from our inventory.

Barbells

Our multipurpose barbells provide a reliable spin and normal "whip" during Olympic weightlifting. You can count on each to have dual knurl marks and no center knurl. You're welcome.

And More

Our commitment to providing a well-equipped facility reflects our dedication to helping you reach your fitness goals in the most enjoyable and efficient way possible.

Programming That Excites

Our Programming

Our programming follows basic exercise science principles that are often ignored at other gyms. Through the utilization of progressive overload prescribed in a periodized manner and personalized to your specific fitness level, we will get you fitter and stronger.

The workouts are tough. If you want to be challenged, if you don't believe in the easy way out, if you want to do bad-ass things with other like-minded individuals, then you've come to the right place.

Progressive Overload

Progressive overload is the practice of continually increasing the stress placed on the body as strength and endurance capacity increases. We continuously challenge our athletes to drive new adaptations and push them to higher.

Periodization

The human body adapts to external stresses very quickly, therefore the same exercises and training loads over a long period leads to plateaus. By varying training variables in a calculated fashion, we ensure that continued growth is achieved without the negative side effects of overtraining.

Personalization

Everybody is unique with different strengths and experience levels. We always keep this in mind to make sure that every individual is working within their capabilities and moving safely and efficiently.

Passionate Coaching Team

Our Coaches

Our unwavering commitment to the highest standards of coaching and safety sets us apart. Every one of our exceptional coaches is not only passionate and driven, but certified, ensuring that our members receive the utmost level of coaching excellence in CrossFit methodology, movements, and workouts.

Furthermore, we go the extra mile by mandating that all our coaches complete basic life support (BLS) training. This comprehensive training equips them with essential life-saving skills such as CPR and proficiency in operating our on-site automated external defibrillator (AED). By prioritizing BLS training, we ensure that our coaches are prepared to handle any potential emergencies that may arise during training sessions, providing our members with a safe and secure environment.

CF-L2 Coach

USAW L1 Weightlifting Coach

I delved into the world of CrossFit inspired by the documentary titled "Fittest on Earth," and since that moment, I've been captivated by its dynamic allure. The diverse range of movements and ever-changing workouts ensure that no two days are alike, making each session a thrilling challenge. What sets CrossFit apart for me is the emphasis on measuring fitness based on capabilities rather than appearance, diverging from the conventional standards of bodybuilding. In the realm of CrossFit, I've found a space where I can redefine the essence of fitness. As a coach, it's incredibly gratifying to impart my passion to others and witness it take root and flourish, just as it did within me years ago. Establishing Magnolia CrossFit has allowed me to extend this enthusiasm for fitness, creating tailored workouts and cultivating a facility from the ground up with quality in mind. The meticulous selection of an exceptional coaching team ensures that quality of movement and a positive fitness experience are at the forefront of our endeavors. My journey has been a quest to refine and share what I love, and through Magnolia CrossFit, that vision continues to unfold.

Rachel Lubniewski

CF-L2 Coach

I am an exercise enthusiast with a passion for running and weightlifting. As a marathon runner, I understand the importance of functional fitness, mobility and strength training. My goal as a coach is to educate members of all fitness levels proper movement and form so they can feel strong, healthy and move well. CrossFit has improved my marathon times, strength and stamina. CrossFit became a new challenge for me. I loved trying new lifts, learning gymnastics and seeing what my body could do after having two kids. It’s been an experience I want to continue to share with others! As a L-2 Certified CrossFit Trainer, ACE certified Group Fitness Instructor and NASM Personal Trainer I believe fitness classes should be both challenging and enjoyable, encouraging members to push themselves, work hard and embrace being part of a community while doing so. When I’mnot in the gym or on the road running, I spend my time with my two young kids, volunteering at school or just hanging out at home with a good movie.

CF-L3 Coach

CF-L1 Weightlifting Coach

A former natural bodybuilder, I had always trained with the goal of aesthetics never truly focusing on functional strength, endurance or athleticism. In 2012 I was introduced to CrossFit and it was like a spark that reignited my passion for fitness and coaching. Over the years I have learned that true fitness is not what you see in the mirror, but mentally and physically feeling your best as a result of the effort you put into every workout. I'm excited to coach and train with the Magnolia CrossFit community!

Marissa Valdivia Reagle

CF-L1 Coach

I started CrossFit back in 2012 as part of CrossFit kids before it was officially CrossFit kids. I did it as training for the sports I played. While I fell in love with it at a young age, I took a few years off when I went to College where I played basketball, softball and soccer at the Division 3 level. Once I graduated I wanted to still have a team and a competitive atmosphere so I started CrossFit back up! In 2023 I got my CF L-1 so that I could start coaching and helping others get in the gym and get moving while still having fun! I started coaching out in Maine where I went to school, but am excited to come back to Seattle and coach in my hometown neighborhood! Outside of CrossFit you will often catch me going out to the movies (mostly musicals), getting some sushi across the street or playing slow pitch softball!

Ryan Chew

CF-L2 Coach

Fitness philosophy: Some is better than none. Just showing up is a win! I was pretty sedentary most of my life until my wife introduced me to CrossFit in 2013 and changed my life! Through CrossFit, I’ve met some of the most wonderful and inspiring coaches and people. I learned that there will be good days and bad days in the gym and progress may be slow, but the key is to keep showing up and enjoy that I get to do this. It’s a privilege and a win by just walking through the door. And although my wish list is still quite long, I’ve learned to do things I never imagined. CrossFit has been such a fulfilling part of my life that my most fun days are when I work out with my friends and family!!
