Rehab, HYROX and Muay Thai Share a Georgetown Floor

In Georgetown, three separate businesses share one floor: physical therapy, HYROX strength training and a Muay Thai boxing gym.

A physical therapist coaches strength next door

Joe Rellora is a Doctor of Physical Therapy with more than ten years in outpatient orthopedic and performance rehab, and he spends his week doing two jobs without changing buildings. He treats patients at Root Physical Therapy. Then he coaches strength classes at Root Strength. Both businesses operate out of the same roughly 9,000 square foot unit at 6332 6th Ave S, Unit A, in Georgetown, where a third business, Muók Boxing, runs a Muay Thai and boxing gym on the same floor.

The three are not one company. Root Strength, Root Physical Therapy and Muók Boxing are separately branded, separately run businesses that happen to share a floor, a model their own marketing describes simply as "complementary services under one roof." For a Georgetown athlete, that means the physical therapist who sets the rehab plan can watch the strength session, without a drive or a gap in communication between the two.

Physical therapists double as Muay Thai coaches

Rellora is not alone.

Andy Le, also a Doctor of Physical Therapy, coaches the Muay Thai program at Muók Boxing. Lorrainne Dizon, a DPT who treats orthopedic and pelvic health cases, and physical therapist assistant Bobby Green round out the clinical staff. The business sums up the arrangement in one line: your PT and your coaches talk to each other.

Root Strength becomes an official HYROX floor

On June 19, 2026, Root Strength announced that its Georgetown location had been named an official HYROX affiliate, a designation the organization grants only to facilities it has reviewed for the equipment, programming and coaching to prepare athletes for its races.

The sleds, SkiErgs and rowers that HYROX training demands sit on the same floor as a physical therapy clinic and a Muay Thai gym. This is a strength and conditioning business built around a race format, not a general gym that happens to run some HYROX classes on the side.

The coaches who built Root Strength's floor

Root Strength's head coach and general manager, Creole Walker, holds a bachelor's degree in exercise and physiological science.

Six sports came before the whistle: strongman, wrestling, basketball, track, fastpitch softball and powerlifting, plus earlier years coaching high school rugby and football strength and conditioning too. Then there's Coach Payton Kessler.

He holds a bachelor's degree in exercise science and spent four years as a collegiate softball athlete at Central Washington University. He has since added a practicum in athlete testing and data driven programming, plus two seasons coaching youth softball, and is working toward an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist credential.

Three businesses, one membership price

Root Strength sells its own membership on the same logic as the building: separately, but bundled.

The unlimited strength membership alone runs $170 a month. Stack on open gym access and it climbs to $220; stack on Muók Boxing's Muay Thai classes too and the full card runs $300, still month to month, with no enrollment fee and no cancellation fee. The spread between the cheapest tier and the top one buys the whole floor, not just one piece of it. Seattle has no shortage of HYROX training gyms.

A search across the city turns up more than a dozen, including Felix Athletics, Shred415 Seattle and Orangetheory West Seattle, and none of them is built around an on-site physical therapy clinic that also shares its floor with a boxing gym. That comparison is not exhaustive, but it points at what makes the Georgetown floor unusual. It was built to sell recovery, strength and a combat sport as one decision, not three separate errands.

Nine thousand square feet, give or take

Root Physical Therapy's own site puts the Georgetown building at 9,000 square feet.

Muók Boxing's relocation announcement, visible only in a search engine summary since the original page now returns a dead link, claims 9,500 and calls it more than triple the gym's old space. Neither business has fixed the discrepancy.

What isn't in dispute: physical therapists coach the strength floor, a HYROX program trains for a specific race, and all of it runs under one roof in Georgetown. An athlete who gets hurt at Root Strength can find out what's wrong and get it fixed without leaving the building.
