My first workout here I automatically felt like family. Every workout I feel energized and refreshed. Not only that, this is the first time I feel like my form is correct. I feel my muscles actually working. I definitely plan to be a member for a long time. I recommend everyone to at least come and check the place out. You won't regret it.

The trainers are knowledgeable and positive; they do an amazing job attending to and motivating each member. The other members are kind and supportive, and represent a broad spectrum of ages and abilities. The facility is impeccably clean. The culture/atmosphere cannot be matched. If you are looking for an amazing place to work out, you should absolutely check out Temple Fitness.

I was referred to Beometry by a friend, and after working through a couple of sessions, I noticed obvious improvements in my exercise tolerance, reduction in pain, and my body's ability to recover and tolerate stress. I am so grateful that I can get back to training for strength, mobility, and long-term wellness and put these years of being sedentary and low energy behind me. If you're looking for a personal trainer in Tacoma area, I highly recommend Beometry.

I have never ever felt so uncomfortable around someone as I did him. I started in 2019 shortly…read morebefore he was caught. A couple of ladies I worked with went to him & strongly encouraged me to join with them. So I did. From the day I started, I knew there was something not right with him. I knew deep down I did not want to be alone with him. Like I said before, I felt so uncomfortable around him. I hated when there were exercises when your bum would be in air, because he was always walking behind me.... Creep!! After class, I complain about him to husband & he told me to quit going. I told no, I spent too much $$ not to go. After 4 weeks in, he was arrested. I then knew my intuition was spot on about him. Now he's getting his in prison!!

I was a member of his gym in 2014. In that time he gave me the nickname "Earthquake" and would…read moreshout it out during classes and I was very insecure about it. His clients were mostly women and he insisted that we wear gloves (which I have never been asked to do, even in crossfit) and told me it wasn't for us, it was for our husbands. Thinking back I realize how creepy it was that he wanted our hands to be callous free "for our husbands". Shawn dated his clients and frequently caused jealously amongst them during class. It was extremely uncomfortable. He inevitably married a client which ended in a nasty divorce. I just couldn't handle the drama. It was a very dark experience for me. He knows NOTHING about heath or nutrition, and blames his lack of fitness & health on everything and anyone else but himself.  I recently gave my opinion online that he is "the worst trainer I have ever had" and some female (presumably a client he is dating) posted a private message from me to Shawn thanking him for my renewed confidence. That was 2014 & before I saw what was going on around me. Shawn & this female "Alicia" continued bashing me on this particular thread.  I have had many trainers and different gyms, all of them reputable and had something I could learn from. Shawn Bell is just a toxic narcissist on a power trip taking advantage of vulnerable girls. Stay away.

I have never done CrossFit before, but I wanted to give it a try while I am staying at Federal Way…read morefor about 6 weeks. A friend told me about the Groupon deal (which was about $70/month for unlimited classes), so I decided to try it out. Dustin, Jake, Jeremy, Rae, and many other instructors have helped me so much in learning all the right technique and encouraging me to never give up. All the members are so friendly and motivating. Many of the members would come up to me and introduce themselves even after a sweaty and tough workout. Everyone is so encouraging, which makes me give my 100% every WOD. CrossFit is definitely a good workout when you want to get sweaty in less than an hour. It incorporates both strength training and cardio, which is perfect for me. And they have some good pump-up music which is a plus :) I love the environment here, and I will miss everyone who has been part of my CrossFit journey.

They have created a very inviting and accepting environment of trainers and members which can seemingly be the most intimidating part of getting started. So much of enjoying Crossfit goes beyond the results (which you will see). It's about feeling comfortable and welcome at a box as your undertake something new and foreign. Set those fears aside and stop by CFFW; it will be the best decision of your life! The new gym has a great size but isn't so large that it's impersonal. The wide variety of structures class times makes finding a routine for everyone a possibility. If you have any desire to learn about Crossfit or are an experienced Crossfitter looking for a new box, do not hesitate to check out CFFW. Do not wait for circumstances to be perfect. Do not let your fear hold you back. Channel all that angst and uncertainty into aggression while CFFW gives you the platform. Whatever you have to do, find a excuse to win!

We were instantly greeted by handsome Dan and got us signed up and going right away. No matter what fitness level you are (Beginner, Novice, or Pro Athlete) or type of fitness you're into (Powerlifting, Bodybuilding, Functional, etc) they have got something at North Hill that will get you to your goals. So what really differentiates these guys from the rest? It is simply the people. All the employees are very knowledgeable, passionate, and professional in every aspect. The gym culture both here and there other location (Dungeon Strength Rx) is designed to make you feel like family. Working out at North Hill Fitness has been a real treat and probably one of the best gym-going experiences I've had. If you are in the area for a day, a week or a month do yourself a favor and check out North Hill Fitness in Edgewood, WA.

I was frequenting a nearby business when I noticed this small but adequately equipped fitness…read morelocation and it's 24 hour availability. I decided to peek inside out of curiosity and was surprised by how clean and organized it was. I was approached by one of the staff who explained the available services and described some equipment features. I was of course skeptical of any gym that charges based on a reoccurring "membership" having been locked into some nightmare past memberships at other gym franchises however, everything at this location was explained completely and in a straight forward way. I left that day with my own "key" to the front door and since then have had no regrets. There are no hassles, no sales people bothering anyone, no bad attitudes, everyone is friendly and polite. The equipment is top of the line with adequate free weights and benches for all. The staff are more than happy to answer any and all questions. I would recommend this location to anyone who is serious about achieving a fitness goal and maintaining it.

My relationship with GRIT CITY FITNESS AND PERFORMANCE is a life changer…read more I have never felt like I was part of a fitness community before coming here. I have never felt like my effort was meet with results before coming here. I am 37 years old, and this year is the first time I've understood my body's needs and how to give it the best possible circumstances for health and wellness. I use Jeff's virtual Team Training, Serena's Superhero You and nutritional coaching. I'm forty weeks in to recording of nutrition and I don't ever want to stop habits, nor my relationship with Grit. The virtual training is more than just watching a workout. You can workout live with the coaches... and Jeff is ridiculously good and concise with remembering/recommending substitute movements for your limitations or injuries, and very resourceful with helping you utilize the objects you already have in your home. I have many many many public Facebook posts about this place if you're still on the fence about investing in yourself. Oh - and the generous outpouring of support and communication through several channels (fb,insta,email etc) is 24/7. They have really really found a way to personalize your health, while still keeping you part of the group.

It helps that the workouts are only 30 minutes a day except for the weekends which are roughly 45 minutes are so. The gym is spacious and clean with all working equipment.

My friends Dave, Alicia, and Perla works here (Dave is the owner) and they're amazing! I've known…read morethem for years and they're very passionate about health and fitness and is very knowledgeable in this field. Compared to my other fit friends, these guys will challenge you on a daily basis. What's unique and awesome about this place is that Dave always has creative ideas and sometimes makes his own equipment/workout and make you suffer (in a good way lol). For instance, he'll stop for a moment and go "ooh that would be a good workout" or "I can create this" and would totally put a spin to your workout. He made a PVC pipe with water inside so not only can you use it to squat, but you also have to work out your core to balance because the water will make things more difficult! And the best part is, they HELP you with your forms. They'll watch you while you do your workout, then they stop and give you suggestions and shift your posture so you don't get hurt! Workouts range from: running, lifting, circuit training, tabata, yoga, crossfit, obstacle courses, kettle bells, Zumba, plyometric, Pilates, etc. Dave is Kettle bell certified, Alicia is the nutritionist, and Perla is the Zumba/Pilates!!! Together they form Captain Planet~ They will also try to sign up for obstacle mud course (I was the victim to Spartan super and almost died) but hey! That's motivation for you and once you complete the race, you just can't believe you've accomplished it :) Highly recommend this place! They're completely different from other trainers I know and are very knowledgable in health and fitness field. Also, Dave makes the BEST health bars that he created! Though last time he tricked me by giving me one with cricket flour... (Apparently they're good for you and is high in protein). You can also get the ones without cricket flour lol

So I walked past this place for a good three months before I finally decided to go in and see what…read moreit was. I danced for 15 years and so I knew that Barre stood for a ballet barre, so I assumed it had to be some type of exercise studio. All of the ladies that work here are super friendly. They have a lot of really great packages and programs. Student discounts, Corporate discounts (if you can get five people to sign up), and New Client Memberships. I decided to try it out and purchased a drop in class which was $18.00. Man! This is not for the faint of heart. I had to modify most of the exercises, and had to take multiple breaks the first couple of weeks. I have always been a pretty active person. I played basketball in college (DII NCAA), and danced. I had been doing CrossFit for 10 months, but had taken a break from it due to multiple surgeries. I also didn't like how bulky I got doing CrossFit or that my WOD only took 20 minutes, and I felt like I hadn't worked out long enough. Barre is completely different. It is very challenging! This is not some Zumba class at your local Y. It is a full hour of circuit style barre/yoga/pilates style exercises. You will get your cardio! Don't worry! You will not stop moving for an entire hour. I love that I get a full body workout and my cardio in an hour. The same workout would take 2 hours of weights and then a two mile run just to get the same feeling. As a mother, I don't have three hours a day to spend at the gym. Barre provides variety to avoid muscle memory, and every class is different. I have been taking all of the 12 o'clock classes during my lunch hour (with the exception of Tuesdays). There are different instructors on different days, but even if you get the same person leading the class the workout is ALWAYS different. I usually have class with Trish or Elizabeth's, and I have done one 4:30 class with Dena. Love all of their styles. They are great. Elizabeth and Trish give modifications and really guide you to challenge yourself, and not give up. I literally feel addicted. I am coming 5 times a week, and I can tell on the days when I don't go that I missed a workout. This isn't a fad workout program, and there are a bunch out there. It is hard work, but if you do it, you wil get the results you want and better! I knew the first time I walked into class and saw a small group of women that looked like dancers that I was in the right place. Not because I look like a dancer, but because I want to look like one! lol I already feel leaner and more flexible. Just try a drop in class, you will be hoooked! It is great, tons of fun, and you will be back.

Tim Jackson is a one-of-a-kind trainer. I came to YME as a new client nearly two years ago. At the…read moretime, I was simply looking for a trainer to work with me through the pandemic. What I ended up finding was somewhat of a second home. The culture Tim sets in YME is unlike anything you will find at any other public or private gym. When you walk in, the energy is up and ready for you. Tim retaught me countless weightlifting and training fundamentals. He takes great caution and care in noting past or present injuries, turning training sessions into recovery sessions if necessary. Most of all, Tim's desire is to help others walk into the image of God that they have been designed to be. He is not afraid to hold clients accountable in order for them to not cheat themselves and achieve their goals. I'm beyond grateful for all that Tim taught me about wellness, fitness, and life. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a change!

Yah Made Everything is the cleanest gym I have EVER been in! I have been going to gyms for years…read moreand I have NEVER been to one where the bathrooms were not only clean but immaculate. Also, Tim Jackson is the absolute best trainer I have ever seen! He corrected pre-existing problems with my right shoulder that limited the amount of weight that I could lift on the bench press. Note that I also previously wore a wrist brace on my left wrist, an elbow brace on both of my elbows and a knee brace on both of my knees before I started working with Tim. However, he corrected my form to the point where I don't have a need for ANY of this protective equipment any more, even though I have deadlifted 325 pounds and squatted 315 pounds at age 54 without any pain, discomfort nor injuries! Additionally, I am a vegan and Tim presented me with a meal plan that I could work with which enables me to obtain the macros I need to not only achieve but to surpass and thus Crush all of my fitness goals on multiple occasions. Note that in all my life, I have never had significant mass in my chest, however I do now in addition to significantly larger lats and a "christmas tree" in the center of my back. Lastly, as an added perk, I need mention that women have given me a lot of compliments after seeing my body (with my shirt on)
