Exercising doesn’t look the same for everyone — what’s fun and muscle-building for one person may be a slog for someone else.

Fortunately, Seattle is home to many opportunities for exercise, whether you enjoy lifting weights, dancing to hip hop tunes for a little cardio action, or boxing for a full-body workout. Use this guide as a resource for all-things fitness in the Emerald City.

Pro tip: Not sure which to try first? Try out multiple gyms with a free trial on ClassPass.

For those who believe burpees are a lifestyle

Valkyrie Strength and Conditioning, Queen Anne
New to the whole crossfit thing? This gym is happy to help figure out what class you might do best in. Or if your kiddo needs to lose a little steam, they also have a class for kids age 5-11.

Foundation CrossFit, Capitol Hill
Because of this business’s focus on community, you can make a bunch of new friends to throw tires around with.

For those who want to dance it out

For those who want something a little different

Flight Room, multiple locations
What do you get when you mix yoga with a hammock? An aerial workout method that leaves you feeling like quite the acrobat.

School of Acrobatics and New Circus Acts, Georgetown
We’ve all had dreams about running away to the circus — whether that happened when you were a kid or as an adult reading a particularly upsetting work email. Live out those fantasies with juggling, unicycle, trampoline, German wheel, or handstand classes.

The Wrap

Today’s edition by:
Alina

From the editor

Cute pet story time. My cat and I have both been getting used to my new apartment and she’s been doing that by testing out a bunch of new places to sleep. Her new favorite is underneath my throw blanket on the couch and — I kid you not — she does the thing where you stick your foot out from underneath the covers to cool off. It made for some of the cutest kitty paw photos I’ve ever seen.
