I first heard about crossfit after a few friends started at Trident now "Armor". A short time after, I was invited to try it out and thought, "what was that?!" I've never felt so drained after a 15 min workout before. From there, I wanted more and the rest is history. It's been a year now and I am still hooked and enjoying each class. The coaches are great. They take the time to break down each workout with clear instructions and movement. During a challenging workout they offer motivation to get you through. I especially like the feedback and correction they suggest for improvement. There is also a good sense of community and always a positive vibe. No "BIG" egos just individuals wanting to better themselves. The different hours at Armor is a plus, as it works with my busy schedule. Also clean facilities to change and shower if needed. The equipment is well maintained and safe to use. I highly recommend Armor if you are looking for a place to workout, ask for Zach.

I had a great opportunity to train at this box while I was temporally working here at Washington State. I’ve been to multiple boxes during my work and travels, and so far this is one of the best. Armor Athletics excel at all aspects. The community is friendly and welcoming. Zach is the owner/coach, he is an expert and his programing is challenging but fun. The facility is spacious and functional. I am telling you, this place is amazing, and if I had to pick alternative box to call home, this would be it.

Hands down, best gym environment I’ve ever had. I’ve been coming to Armor (formerly Trident) now for about 3 years and work out 3-4 times a week. There is an amazing energy that hits you as soon as you open the door and walk in the building. It is awesome to be surrounded by people who are willing to push not only themselves, but each other to reach their maximum potential with every workout. I also can’t say enough about the coaches. Their attention to detail is second to none. Not only are they interested in seeing you get stronger and improve your physical fitness, but they genuinely care about your form, technique, and safety. If you are looking for a place where you will be pushed, encouraged, and cared for, then stop by at Armor. Talk to one of the coaches. Jump into a class. Come and push yourself outside of your comfort zone to grow physically and mentally.

This gym is absolutely amazing. The coaches are very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. The camaraderie and community that this gym has is by far unmatched in my opinion. This gym has everything you’ll need to meet your fitness goals when it comes to CrossFit and Olympic lifting. I really enjoy going to this gym and I believe anyone reading this review will as well.

Great owners who care about your health, overall fitness, and well being. Nice mix of equipment, knowledgeable trainers on staff, great nutritional advice.

I love this gym! They are wonderful here. Most importantly they make sure you keep yourself and your body safe while getting stronger! Very important in a gym! The classes are so fun and for the first time I feel and see a difference in my strength!

This gym is my 2nd home and I can’t recommend it enough! The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating, helpful and great people. I always leave the gym in a good mood! I’ve become both stronger and more knowledgeable the 3 years I’ve been a member, and I’ve made friends that I will have for life!

This is the best Crossfit gym in South tacoma! All the coaches are so friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. I love it so much, coming up on 4years that I've been a member! Totally recommend it!! Made some great friends throughout the years as well!!

Excellent coaching, energy, support, workouts, vibes! Coaches are friendly, funny, always available to answer questions and help with proper form. Members are supportive and friendly. Fantastic gym community to be a part of

I’ve been going here about 6 months and I can’t say enough good things. The owners are fantastic, the coaches are welcoming, and the whole environment is motivating. It’s the best part of my day whenever I go, and I strongly recommend to anyone!

Great gym, and even better people. From the owner, who is extremely humble about his impressive accomplishments, to the other trainers, it's top-notch and you certainly get what you put in. The environment is super positive and motivating without being 'over the top.' The equipment is some of the best I've seen/used, and there's plenty of space. Totally recommend this place all day long and for all levels of health/fitness.

I've had a great experience at Armor in my 6ish months there so far! The community is very welcoming and friendly

Trident is an stupendous gym! I came to Trident as a latch ditch effort to get into CrossFit after bad experiences at other Boxes in the Tacoma area. I am consistently impressed by the facility, the programing, and the professionalism of the coaches. All of these factors make for a great environment to do work in, and fosters a great sense of community, something I never thought I'd feel in any sort of gym environment. I can not recommend it highly enough!

By far the best CrossFit gym I’ve been to. The instructors are professional and down to earth. They are very knowledgeable and give spot on guidance on how to properly conduct the workout and the correct position your body needs to be to prevent injury. If you are in the Tacoma area I would highly recommend you try this gym.
