After years (and years) of searching for a gym home, I was finally able to find one at Town Athletics. It’s the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. Most of that is due to the people. The coaching staff is incredibly knowledgeable and the others that train there made me feel like part of their community. Town was a highlight of my time in Tacoma, I will miss that place.

I have absolutely loved my time working out at Town. The coaches are so supportive and knowledgeable in the movements we are doing. My technique in my lifts has drastically improved which has helped me get stronger but also lessen the risk of injuries. Mostly I love the community they have built and nurtured. I have always struggled going to the gym when it’s just me by myself. Meeting everyone and sweating alongside the other members builds a real team atmosphere. That’s what I miss from my competitive sports days and that is the atmosphere where I get the best out of myself. I can’t recommend this gym highly enough.

A friend of mine who is also a member recommended the gym, he spoke so highly of the staff and the workouts. Once I came in first thing I noticed was the community. Everybody knows each-other and is so encouraging through all the workouts! The coaches are attentive and very good! They push you and every work out really does put you to work. Everyone is on different fitness journey but everyone’s support of one another and the drive to put in work is amazing! The vibe of the gym is great and I am loving the world of CrossFit.

Been a member over a year. Good vibes, some great coaches, a team who is responsive to member input, great location. Size of the gym is smaller than most boxes but it’ll accommodate everything you need

I highly recommend Town Athletics. I started about six months ago. Prior to that, it had been over two and a half years since I’d done any kind of serious strength training or conditioning. I was nervous to step into a true CrossFit environment, but I am so glad I did. The programming is well-thought out and challenging. I love that I can trust the professional (one of the owners) to do the thinking and planning for me when it comes to the workouts. I just show up and put in the work. The coaches are exceptional. They’re inviting, attentive, and engaging, and they are definitely experts in their field. I’m amazed at how frequently they recommend a small adjustment or mention one simple cue that dramatically improves a particular movement for me. They prioritize safety and scaled movements (as needed) but also push you and support you along the way. I also really appreciate the people who call Town their gym. When I first showed up, my fitness level was atrocious. Nobody judged me or dismissed me. They welcomed me and encouraged me. The support and camaraderie I have experienced at Town have been a huge part of why I keep showing up four days a week at 5:30am. If you’re looking for a gym, Town Athletics is definitely the place to be.

Love Town Athletics. I've been going there for a couple of years now. It really does feel like a community, which I love, with all kinds of people from all different walks of life. Coaches are very knowledgable and do a great job keeping things safe.

I dropped in at Town Athletics for 8 classes while I was visiting Tacoma.The coaches and members were very welcoming and warm. The coaches are very experienced and knowledgable. What impressed me the most about this gym is the programming. Also the coaches were able to offer me great feedback during the workout. Thank you for the great workouts. Highly recommended.

I joined Town a few months ago to try and get back into CrossFit. I haven’t done CrossFit in a few years so I was nervous to get back into it and meet new people but the results were awesome. The coaches are extremely helpful and welcoming. I really enjoyed the classes and I was able to reach some new fitness goals. The programming is also great and you can really tell the coaches take time and dedication to make the right program to meet your individual goals. The gym also has personal training sessions to help with movements you may be struggling in. Town is hands down the best CrossFit gym in Tacoma!

Could not be happier with my time here at Town Athletics!!! I travel for work and decided it was time to get back into a CrossFit gym. Hadn’t been in a CrossFit gym in well over a year and was pretty nervous to jump back into it but the coaches are super friendly and the community here is great. The coaches really push you during class. I was even encouraged to sign up for the open (my first time, thanks Cole!) and I learned so much from it. I’ve PR’d so many of my lifts with the programming here and always leave the gym feeling like I got a really good workout in.If you have specific goals in mind, I would suggest doing private sessions. It’s helped me a lot with movements I continued to struggle with. I worked with Cole and I’ve noticed a big difference! He was really able to break down the movements and give me cues that made everything click for me!Overall just a great place to make friends and lift heavy!! Sad that I’ll be moving onto my next contract for work but I’m so thankful I joined Town Athletics.

I joined this gym 6 months ago looking for a good group fitness workout to strengthen my whole body due to having lower back pain and tight muscles that were bringing me to tears frequently. I was feeling rather defeated in my middle age and wondering if that was it for me...the end of my fit days :(I had always been interested in CrossFit but previously was afraid I was not in good enough shape for it or would hurt myself. I found that all the movements can be scaled so I could build strength and get back into shape which was really encouraging in the beginning. I am still learning so much and I have really enjoyed learning the new sports of CrossFit and weightlifting. The coaches are always helpful and answer the million questions I have about everything CrossFit related. The owners are frequently there and also very helpful and encouraging.Since joining my strength and overall fitness level has turned around and I am back to feeling like myself after not having a consistent routine for years following having my first child at 41 and then working and living through the pandemic. I'm learning new movements and I feel so much better overall, sleep better, have better digestion, my mood is better, I feel strong in my body, plus have dropped a pant size. I look forward to going to classes and coaching and being challenged and humbled as well as encouraged by the improvements I see little by little. Who knew I could deadlift 185lbs? Or learn to do the snatch and clean and jerks and build muscles I have never seen before on my back? Wow. A year ago I thought lifting 35 lbs. was hard and amazing...The people that attend the gym are awesome and it is so fun to work out really hard with new found friends. The gym is a positive place to be and meet people from all walks of life and all ages.I highly recommend you give CrossFit a try and Town Athletics is a great place to find support in your fitness journey and to get back into shape as well as get coaching to get to the next level if you are a competitive athlete.Thanks Town Athletics for being awesome.

I like to go to the gym and be coached. I want my brain to check out and I do not want not have to think about or managing my workout. I love that Town hires excellent coaches to tell me what to do. I manage so many other things during the day. This one hour is an oasis for my brain. From the greeting whether you are late or on time, the specifically tailored progressive training, the constant reminder that I am stronger than I think I am, and the amazing community that does not let you stay the same. It is a wonderful place to grow. I have found a level of excellence in this place that makes it worth every penny. I dare you to come try it out. You might love it. ? Thank you Town for pushing me to be better. I got pull ups back and I am climbing the rope like I did in elementary school. It has been a super fun ride.

I've been to many crossfit gyms across the country over the last 10 years, and Town is hands down the best I've seen.1) Thoughtful, challenging, and safe programming. After 8 weeks here, my body feels five years younger, and I've made huge progress in strength and conditioning.2) A strong, tight community of both casual gym goers and serious athletes. Everyone supports each other, no matter their fitness level.3) An awesome group of insightful, fun coaches. Many crossfit places I've been to have one or two good coaches, but Town has a next level team. A big shout out to Kyle, Cole, Erin, Garrett, Jenn, and Mike for all their help and guidance. Thanks all!

It’s hard to put into words what this place means to me, especially at this stage in my life. I’ve been a member for almost two years now, coming from a mostly HIIT style training background. I was majorly skeptical about CrossFit but so impressed at how fit my sister was becoming having only been a member at Town for about 9 months at the time. So at 32 years old, I decided to give it try. I had basic strength goals like getting a single pull-up, being able to climb a rope, etc. and after about 5 months as a member I was able to do those things. In all my years of training by myself I had never even come close. Now, almost 2 years in, I am attaining physical feats I never thought possible and I’m so much stronger than I’ve ever been thanks to Town and their community of amazing coaches and members—who are some of the best people and friends around.In addition to the outstanding class/membership programming, Town also offers personal programming, private training, and even in-house physical therapy, all of which I’ve been able to take advantage of and it’s given me such a leg up toward crushing my goals. I feel incredibly secure and assured going into my mid-thirties knowing that I can achieve whatever physical goals I set my mind to. And I promise that if you join Town, your only regret will be that you didn’t find it sooner.

I became a member since November 2022 and love the gym. The programming is very well planned out and I love the balance between strength training and conditioning. The community is super welcoming and supportive. I really appreciate the attentiveness of the coaches to provide cues to help with my lifts.

Town Athletics is not only a gym, but a community of people supporting each other in their fitness journey. The coaches are well experienced, knowledgeable about health and fitness, and seem genuine in their care for their clients. They recall details about your life, track your progress and provide unrelenting support in and outside the gym. I’m very grateful to be a part of this family. Thank you, Town Athletics!
