    I have been a member for over a year now and am still constantly impressed. As cliché as it may sound, Town is more than just a gym. It really is a community within a community. The coaching staff is very helpful, always helping members where needed regardless of their skill level. I have made deep friendships with individuals that I did not know prior to coming to Town. The programming, which is written all in-house (!!), combined with their ongoing coaching tips and State of Town emails, constantly challenges members to reach new goals and push themselves. Town has a unique educational element to it, allowing members to understand the “why” behind the “what” of each programming cycle. And all of this is done in an encouraging, fun, and safe environment. Thank you Town!

    I joined this gym looking for a challenge but also very skeptical of a Crossfit gym's atmosphere and culture. I was expecting people to be smug and way too extreme about CrossFit and their fitness. To my surprise, it's one of my most favorite places on earth. I look forward to seeing my new found friends and coaches every time I go. I am average to slightly above average fitness wise and I really appreciate the different levels of the same workout they offer every class. The open gym time with 24 hour keycard access is also pretty clutch. Thanks Town Athletics.

    Town Athletics is more than a gym. It is an amazing place to find community and discover your best self. The Coaches are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. The programming is challenging and consistent and produces results. I had recently turned forty and had been going to a big box fitness center for a few years and had gotten complacent with my fitness. I did the same few things day after day and my results leveled off. I had heard about CrossFit and liked the idea of challenging myself with more diverse work outs. I tried a few of the other gyms in the area and quickly discovered the Town was different and special. The coaching, programming, and welcoming community was well beyond anything I had experienced. I did not have much weightlifting experience when I started. The Coaches are very knowledgeable and worked closely with me to develop proper and safe fundamentals. I started to see results quickly. I became stronger and more fit than I had ever been before. My fitness made me a more attentive husband and father, and more creative and productive at work. I have also made many good friends at Town. The members are very welcoming and encouraging. It felt like I was part of a team right away. I would strongly recommend Town Athletics to anyone that wants to improve their fitness. The outstanding coaching and welcoming members make this the best CrossFit gym in town!

    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. đź’• 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 going here for over a year and a half. The class programming is written by the owner himself and its outstanding. He does an amazing job of working on performance but also helping you train for longevity. The coaches are always attentive, friendly, motivating, and know how to work with beginners as well as more elite athletes. Best of all, the community is so friendly and super supportive. I love Town Athletics!

    My husband got me try Town Athletics after being part of a women’s-only gym for the last two years. I appreciate the competitive nature of the workouts and people that challenge us to stay consistent. Hands down, the drop-in kids zone is the best part of Town compared to any gym in the area. Also, the 24/7 key card access is helpful if you work late nights or weekends and can’t register for a specific class.

    Best CrossFit gym in Tacoma! I have been a member at Town Athletics for 2 years now, and it has been best decision I have ever made for my health and wellness. I have dropped-in to almost every CrossFit gym in Tacoma and surrounding areas, and this gym stands out as superior. Why is this gym superior? 1) Most other CrossFit gyms purchase their programming from other entities… however, at Town Athletics the weightlifting and CrossFit programming is thoughtfully designed in-house by the owner. Best programming in the area! 2) The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely care about your progress and goals. At other gyms, the coaches just feel like cheerleaders… but at Town the coaches actually analyze, correct, and modify (if needed) your lifts / gymnastics / functional movements to optimize efficiency and results. 3) They offer other services besides weightlifting and CrossFit! Such as nourishment counseling and lifestyle coaching, in-house physical therapy with 2 doctors of physical therapy running their practice out of the gym, and 1-on-1 personal training and individualized programming based on your personal goals! 4) Most importantly, this gym has established a special community that truly makes you feel at home. I have met the most amazing people and have made lifelong friends! Come for the amazing workouts, stay for the community. I love this gym!

    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.

    As a former strength and conditioning coach at the division 1 level, I’m super thankful for a place like Town. It’s the closest I’ve gotten to the type of training environment found in a university athletic performance center. The programming is amazing, classes are super upbeat and there is a friendly competitive environment. I’m super excited to be a part of the town athletics family. Stay rooted!

    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 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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    This place has been such a huge shift in my fitness journey, and I couldn’t be any more thankful for the coaches and friends I’ve met that have helped a long the way. I didn’t think looking up the closest CrossFit gym around me when I moved here for the army would have such a huge impact on my life. I’m telling you, Town is the place for YOU.

  • 5/5 Holly R. 3 years ago on Google
    I started at Town about a year ago after I had been out of CrossFit for a few years. I really enjoy the community and atmosphere! The coaches are great and very knowledgeable. Each one has helped improve my lifting technique. They offer a variety of class times daily, which makes it easy to find one that fits your schedule. I recommend this gym to all my friends. No matter what your fitness goal is, they will help you achieve it!

    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 have spent the last 8 or so years in several CrossFit gyms around the country and Town is hands down the best one around. The coaches truly care about you and want you to be better and do better every day. Everyone is super helpful and the community is very welcoming to new comers. I would recommend this box to anyone in the PNW looking to join a CrossFit gym.

  • 5/5 maureen m. 3 years ago on Google
    I have been a member at Town Athletics for almost 2 years. DANG, time flies. Since being a member I have grown so much as a person and an athlete. The coaching at Town is phenomenal and it shows daily in the attentiveness and care from each individual coach. The programming speaks for itself, especially if you dedicate yourself, and are consistent in showing up (i mean what programming works if you aren’t dedicated and consistent anyway)... Over the last 2 years my technique has improved in all my lifts, my mobility has increased, my stamina has improved, and I have learned things I had never even considered trying before. The community at Town is what really tops it off though. Everyone is welcoming, supportive, and encouraging and are some of the best people I know. If you are looking for a gym where you can work hard, have fun, learn a lot, and reach your goals, Town Athletics is definitely the place you want to be.

    The programming, coaching, and culture at Town are all 5 stars. I joined the gym 3 years ago and my strength and conditioning are night and day from when I started. The daily workouts are approachable for all levels and the intentions of the programming are always clearly communicated. The personal attention is beyond what I've experienced at other gyms. And everyone here really does celebrate the wins and gains as a community.

  • 5/5 Brendan T. 7 months ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Aaron M. 8 months ago on Google
    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.

    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.

    Town Athletics is my Happy Place ! I started here out of shape and nervous. The coaches and community have been welcoming, supportive and keep me motivated! I’ve been going here 9 months now and have great results with their programming💪🏼

  • 5/5 Briana C. 7 months ago on Google
    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.
