SODO Health & Performance/SODO Crossfit: New WSB sponsor

Today we welcome one of our newest sponsors: West Seattleite-owned SODO Health & Performance and SODO CrossFit. As a new sponsor, they get the chance to tell you about what they do:

SODO CROSSFIT: One of the things members tell us they love about us is our location. If you prefer training before work, but then find yourself fighting bridge traffic after your workout in West Seattle, you will love the convenience – we’re on 6th Ave S, across the street from Franz Bakery. We have classes at 6:00 and 7:00 am so you can get out of West Seattle before “the 7:05 rush.” When you finish training, use our showers and dressing rooms to clean up before heading to work and completely bypass the West Seattle Bridge traffic.

At SODO CrossFit, we train to be durable, healthy and fit. Injury prevention and feeling better, as well as stronger, are our primary goals. All our coaches have a wide depth of knowledge and numerous coaching certifications that include, but also go beyond, CrossFit. Plus our head coach, Dr. Michael Ross DC, CSCS, a Sports Chiropractor, is an exercise-rehabilitation specialist and manual therapist who also has numerous coaching certifications in addition to CrossFit.

Members say they trust us and have confidence in our methods because of our extensive training and rehabilitation knowledge. They say this makes us different from other facilities in the area and gives them assurance they are receiving the best training possible with the lowest risk of injury.

SODO HEALTH AND PERFORMANCE: We offer a multi-disciplinary clinic of Sports Chiropractic, Active Release Technique, Therapeutic Massage, Exercise Rehabilitation, Sports Acupuncture and Sports Naturopathic. Patients tell us how much they appreciate our approach to wellness – that we provide short-term, active-based care, emphasizing long-term results. Our goal is to get you better so you can return to your health and fitness goals as soon as possible with minimal visits to any doctor.

Dr. Michael Ross, DC, CSCS, has been a 42-year resident of West Seattle, all the way back to Genesee Hill Elementary. With decades of experience between our coaches and practitioners, we have put together a great combination of fitness, health, and wellness, in our small West Seattle office and our new SODO location, 2920 6th Ave. S., 206-932-7943.

We thank SODO Health & Performance and SODO CrossFit for sponsoring independent, community-collaborative neighborhood news via WSB; find our current sponsor team listed in directory format here, and find info on joining the team by going here.

    Dr. Ross ROCKS!!!! One of the nicest, most professional guys you will ever meet! And he really knows his stuff!!

    Dr. Ross is fantastic. Very intelligent well spoken man. He solved my back problem a few years ago in a very simple way that did not involve repeated visits to see him.

    another plug for Dr. Ross. As a cyclist and desk jockey my back hated me. It responded to Dr Ross’ excellent recommendations and exercises. He’s great. And good to hear he’s involved with this.

    I have to give kudos to Dr. Ross as well. I have seen him for years whenever I tweak my back or neck with my plumbing job. He doesnt want to see you multiple times. He wants you to have a strong back by giving you multiple exercises to do.
    My wife has joined Sodo Crossfit for the 6 am class to beat traffic on her way to Harborview. It is a great motivator to not wait in traffic!

    I love that it is across the street from Franz. Smell the bread being made and baked while you work out.

    Dr. Ross is a Chiropractor who’s more interested in the health and well-being of his patients than in the “see me twice a week” approach that other chiropractors follow. He really knows his stuff and will never steer you wrong. You will not only be glad to have him as your chiropractor and fitness coach, you will want to have him as your friend…he’s a great guy!!

Sorry, comment time is over.
