I'm glad I did since I found a gym with great trainers and learned how unqualified Vie trainers are to coach proper form, and the workout program is inefficient for those with body composition change goals. I came to find out later that the owner is very religious and the cliques are likely a result of the members and trainers who share her faith. It also seems like her business is wrapped up with the LDS church. However you feel about that, people should know who they're giving money to.

Recently tried my first class at Vie Athletics in Gig Harbor. Coach Annie was approachable, kind,…read moreknowledgeable, and radiated great energy. The studio was clean, the music was upbeat, and the equipment was in good condition. The Saturday class I went to was pretty full however I felt energized and motivated by all the amazing women around me. There were women of all ages and skill levels. Check out Vie's website to look at their class schedule. There are several locations around the Puget Sound area. You can register for your first class, which is FREE! Once you sign up for class, you watch a brief video demonstration to see what exercises you will complete during your workout. I felt like the workout was challenging, since I am out of shape, and used the modifications. Coach Annie was very encouraging and gave feedback on appropriate form. She also gave the first-timers a little memento after our first class. Vie offers a variety of different monthly membership options, and has a virtual at-home program option. I will definitely be back!

The place is clean enough and there are TVs, fans, free WiFi, and water fountains with water bottle fills. I will note that the water bottle fill station has needed maintenance for a while now so I stopped using it.

They offer classes are geared for all levels, with right amount of challenge. The cues are easy to follow and visual guidance is also available when needed.

I took a few private lessons with Amanda as my intro to pilates. She and the lessons were so amazing, I've been hooked ever since. When I'm in town, I come to the studio fairly consistently and my body has been transformed, completely snatched. I feel my workouts all over, every atrophied muscle has been awakened. Every instructor does something "special" in their class, please try them all, you will not be disappointed. I highly, highly recommend coming here.

I am one of those that has to keep taking runs at the gym, need to go, but find it intimidating, and fairly easily talked out of gym day. If you are a gym person, that won't bug you and it is probably 5 stars all the way. One of the reasons I joined here were there classes, and what seems to happen every time i join some place for the classes, they cancel classes. They still have a LOT of classes, and if you are into yoga, and variations of that, you will LOVE this place. I do not... Their Hiit classes are getting more popular, and I am sure they are great, I am not ready to do them, not even close, but the problem, for me, is when they are going on, you can't use the Hiit zone, which is easily a 1/3 of the gym floor. This is not a big space, they have used the space efficiently, but when you lose a good portion, its cramped. and also, my favorite things to do, the things that get me to the gym are in the Hiit zone, so class days, no zone, but also, space isnt available, so that means that the hard cores are crammed together competing for space, so those that might be more inclined to use the free weights etc. are backed up, so they park on the circuit machines, basically that means that I am not getting a work out in because I (and others like me-yes there have been discussions) rely on the consistency of the circuit, and the fact that i have zero idea how to replicate on the other machines, that are packed any way. so I go find the one thing i can do, get frustrated (this is on me, i know, but iykyk, if you don't you can't understand) and just bag it. Then go to the massage chairs, the membership is worth those chairs. Generally don't have too many issues there other than basic common courtesy form other members. The area is for upgraded membership, has tanning beds, red light saunas and a stretching mat area and 4 massage chairs. back to the classes, they have cancelled pretty much every class that I enjoyed, and the reason i joined, so no classes for me until i get to a point that i can literally survive hiit, but, based on the amount of people in these classes, they are full by the time i look at them, so that's probably not going to happen either. The locker rooms (women's - haven't seen the mens) is small, uncomfortable, and poorly designed, I think most people, literally use it as a place to put their things, there is 2 small tiny benches, and more than 2 people in there and it genuinely feels uncomfortable. The showers are awful. There is no place to hang a towel, or your bag...just don't join thinking showering after your workout or workout shower, get ready for work is going to be a thing. some do, but not many, because, i believe there intent was they didn't want that. Never got my shirt for joining, not sure why that sticks in my craw, but it does lol. I did the quick start with a trainer, that was a waste of time, there only goal is to sell you training. I just want to know how to use the equipment, i can barely afford this membership, but I am trying, but I was never shown things, just pushed to buy a training package. I just wish that my membership allowed more assistance vs. just access to the business. so, i hope you can see why i gave 4 not 5, it's just how it works for me. I tell people all the time about it, and overall I think it is a great gym, space to workout.

I have NEVER lifted weights before so CrossFit was all new to me!" I was impressed by how friendly and welcoming EVERYONE is from the young couple that own the business to the coaches to all the fellow people that come for a workout. With zero experience everyone was patient with me and walked me through the workout classes. The classes are in different levels. I really enjoy the classes for people 55 years and older. The workouts are designed for someone older or less skilled like me. They usually have between 10 and 25 people in each hour long class. The first 10 minutes or so are spent stretching and warming you up for the workout. They rotate between upper and lower body workouts (often each day has a combination of the two and then there is a cardio element. After my 20 visit pass ran out I chose a monthly plan that works for me. I can attend up to 4 classes a week and it costs me less than $5 a class. That is a great value for the workouts you get. In addition to the improved fitness I have also made some new friends and hope to keep coming for a long time!

A few short weeks ago, I hobbled into my chiropractic office using a cane because I was…read moreexperiencing debilitating back pain. My doctor advised me to hit the gym and strengthening my core. I then got into contact with a few gyms in the area, but only one of them seemed like a good fit: University Place CrossFit. To me, this gym feels very inclusive. For someone like me who hasn't worked out regularly in 20+ years and has mobility issues, this place has been great. It's a smaller gym, the owners John and Ashley are great. The other members have been nothing but helpful and encouraging. I feel like I have a lot of very knowledgeable, fitness oriented individuals actively helping me feel better. To me, that's HUGE. anyway, after a few short weeks, coming in 3 times per week, I no longer need my cane and am experiencing far less pain. I went from barely able to walk to doing split squats and actual RUNNING! This place is great!
