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

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! Let CFFW help you change your life!

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.

Hotworx was my favorite place to go for stress relief, detoxing, alone time after work and weekend peace. Now, I have to make myself go because I am paying for the membership and feel guilty if I don't go. It all has to do with the staff. I'm completely surprised by the way the owners have allowed this new manager to create social media with her tatas out every time she posts something. The content she puts out is just distasteful and her husband in every video- it's very off putting and not "on brand". It reflects poorly on the company. The other young man is social awkward and I don't feel comfortable with him. He doesn't know how to interact with people, he bombards new signees the minute they walk out of the sauna, right in the middle of the isle and immediately asks what membership they want? What a turn off! Yet, if he is close to his lunch hour or it's too soon to closing time and someone new wants to sign up, he tells them he's off and to come back tomorrow. I, personally, have never felt comfortable with him being there if I'm alone at the studio because of his awkward presence, lack of knowledge and social skills. I don't know how a business has gone through so many different employees in such a short period. Additionally, this new staff doesn't seem to have the work ethic to clean and maintain the same level of sanitation that the previous staff has always done. I've only seen them sit or stand at the front desk. I've had to clean broken toenails out of my sauna AND I had left my sweater in a cubby for a week and no one had noticed it!

Jake has a way of making you feel like instant family. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. CFD has fantastic coaches that are L1/L2 trained and focus on form, not just increasing the weight on the bar. They work with the entire spectrum. From beginners to advanced athletes, kids to 80 year olds and everything in between. The coaches are able to easily pivot and modify workouts to your individual needs. They are known within the Crossfit community for their competitions - girls comp, couples comp, etc and always put on a great comp. Highly recommend stopping by for a WOD or joining the CFD family!

It wasn't until I found out my neighbor was thinking the same thing and beat me to it, thus causing me to finally join. Jake and Jared run an amazing, friendly, welcoming and clean gym with coaches that know how to push and hype you up. I also don't think I've ever seen a community as supportive of each other as the members and staff of CFD. On their personal training side, Austin is an excellent personal trainer (and coach) that has a plan for each of your sessions, explains what you're doing and why, as well as hyping you up during your workout. I look forward to returning again as a "new member" when I'm out of school.
