Town Athletics (Tacoma CrossFit)

I absolutely LOVE Town! Since joining, I’ve felt like I’ve truly found community. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. (Seriously, what’s better than completing a challenging workout with your buds?!)

One of the things I appreciate the most about Town is that all movements are scalable, making it accessible for individuals of any fitness levels. Safe movement is good movement, and that is celebrated here daily!

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, the coaches are awesome and will work with you to modify any movement to fit your needs. They lead classes with intentionality and provide personalized attention to ensure proper form and technique throughout the duration of class. I cannot speak more highly of this gym and would recommend it to anyone!

I cannot express enough how welcoming Town Athletics has been! I came to the gym during a Friends and Family week, where members could invite others to see what Town was all about. I had never done CrossFit before and frankly, I was a bit intimidated. This apprehension disappeared on day one! The coaches are the best of the best, and the programming is thoughtful and unique. As a beginner, they make sure I understand the lifts and workouts (scaled to my level while also being challenging). The atmosphere is so supportive, and members are very friendly and inspiring. Because I jumped right in to regular workouts (usually there is an onboarding process), I have also taken a few private sessions with Coach Cole…he is amazing, so knowledgeable, patient, and a great instructor. He has a very good way of coaching that I have responded well to. If you have ever wanted to join a CrossFit gym that is challenging, supportive, and fun, Town Athletics is it!

I started at Town Athletics with my then thirteen year old son during the pandemic. The staff and participants at Town have been consistently kind, supportive, and encouraging. Their enthusiastic and patient support as we have learned proper technique and developed both strength and flexibility have been amazing. It’s been an environment where my son has been able to learn to talk with adults with ease, develop confidence, and learn both resilience and tenacity. I can’t recommend Town Athletics more enthusiastically. They are incredible!

Coach Cole, a certified Crossfit instructor along with the rest of the staff have exemplified good quality service and training. Coach Cole has me on track to meet my goals of weight loss and doing the “Murph” thru a very professional yet patient approach. Coach Cole has me not only on track to meet these goals but has shown what safe and knowledgeable training is that prevents injury. Call and ask for Coach Cole or the other outstanding instructors at Tacoma CrossFit today.

Town Athletics has been absolutely transformational in my life. The area it has impacted me the most is in how I feel about myself, and how I relate to the world and others around me. Town has empowered me, and given me the tools, to continually strive to be the best version of myself that I can dream of. Whether I’m grabbing something from the highest shelf in my house, to facing something challenging at work, to hiking a little farther than I planned, I feel more confident, capable, energetic and prepared to get the most out of life.

What initially drew me in was an interest in CrossFit, as well as in learning the Olympic lifts. At this point, I have tried personal coaching, home programming, a more competitive-geared class, and group classes from Town. Although I love all of them, I think the best part is that they are all for anyone: the culture is inclusive, any excercise can be scaled, and the vibes are high!

With all of this being said, what truly makes Town special is the people. From the members, to the coaches, to the owners, the community is what makes Town shine. If I could give a 6th star I would!

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.

Best gym I've ever been a part of! The coaches are wonderful and so accommodating of every fitness level / level of experience with CrossFit. Great atmosphere and great community.

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.

I spent 3 months at Town Athletics during the summer of 2022 and it was a blast. The coaches were all great, always putting in the extra time to help with your technique. The community was great, I hope I can go back one day.

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💪🏼

Great coaches, and nice people. Everyone is so welcoming and friendly. Hard work has never been so fun. I absolutely love it!

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.

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.

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.

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'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!

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.

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!

Nothing but good times here! Coaches are knowledgeable and personable and programming is great. Don’t worry if you haven’t done crossfit before. They work with all levels and know how to scale exercises to what is appropriate for where you are at in your fitness journey.

I love this gym! Town Athletics has it all:
Great people. great programming, great coaching, a great location, and great community. Everything I want in a Crossfit Gym. If you want to be the best version of you possible, come join us at Town Athletics!
