The layout is brilliantly designed--easily the best I've encountered--and the equipment is top-notch. The coaching stands out too; whether you're just starting out or an RX-level athlete, the coaches are exceptional and cater to everyone. If you're passing through, a drop-in is a must, and if you're local, a membership is well worth it. I honestly wish I lived in Gig Harbor just to train here regularly. Huge thanks to the coaches for making it such a standout spot!

I was bored of my monotonous gym routine when my wife found NCF online. I decided to go and have never looked back. So many aches & pains have disappeared, I am more flexible, enjoy so much more energy during the day, and I sleep better at night. Not to mention that my pear-body shape is rapidly returning back to the "V" I had in high school... The workouts are always interesting and challenging, while each one scales to the level of your proficiency (or lack thereof ;D). Coach Mike and the others keep a keen eye on each athlete and are constantly giving helpful instruction both to the group as well as to each individual. NCF caters extremely well to every athlete, right across the fitness & proficiency spectrum. I look forward to every session and it would be hard to imagine my life without NCF.

Due to some schedule conflicts I was able to start the upcoming one, but the owner encouraged me to do the next one. I agreed and true to her word she contacted me and asked if I was still ready, yes I was. Never having done Crossfit before but really needing to find my way back to working on consistently I was nervous to be going to a new gym. Day 1, that was clearly not going to be an issue. Friendly, informative and wow supportive. I am a day away from graduating out of bootcamp, and will be continuing on. The gym is such a positive and proactive place. Encouraging and kind. When my gym of 10 years folded during covid, it was hard, but finally feel like I have found my place! Thank you to everyone, staff and members alike.

If going is at my discretion I will always choose something different. Lunch? My 11 year old daughter was part of the kids program here and it looked fun. It is much more family friendly and less He-man than any of the other Cross fit boxes I looked at. The owners are great. On the kids program they are able to keep the kids going all by making exercise and weights fun. My daughter is a softball player so we were using this as conditioning during the off season. WOW did it make a difference. Dad does not want to play catch with her any longer as she kills my hand. She will be back after the softball season. As a couch potato well fed adult I was a little nervous going in. I did the fundamentals class to learn the ropes before going to my first class and that almost killed me. Week 1 was really hard! Week 2 a little better. I am now 3 months in and I really enjoy my 3 days per week. They are sticklers for GREAT form and will not let you put weight on if you are not doing it technically properly. This is really good as it keeps the injury rate very low. This is Cross fit so I am not going to say the workouts are fun. But take that with a grain of salt as I HATE exercise and always have. The workouts will kill you for an hour.... End of story. And that is great because I can commit to that and it is doing wonders for how I feel. I have even lost a little weight even though that was not the driving goal. Fit and strong was the goal and I can't say enough about this place. Not the He-man place. Very family friendly. Great kids and young adult program. Safe. Great owners!

He has exceeded my expectations and has me stronger and fitter than I have ever been. He listens to my concerns and tailors my workouts to address them. The new studio in Gig Harbor is first rate.

I always finish up with the inversion table - one last relaxing stretch. Bodystar has a massage studio inside and I recommend Raine highly. She also is trained in cupping, something I am looking forward to trying. This is a great studio.

Can't say enough good things about this gym. I started going a little over a month ago and I walked…read morein there with so many pain issues in my low back, mid back, upper back and neck that I'd been dealing with for about 15 years. The disuse of the muscles due to pain has caused a lot of problems with my shoulders, hips and plenty more. I've spent a fortune over the years going to massage, PT and Chiropractic only to ever get temporary relief. I went to The Club with hopes of developing long lasting strength and stability. During my initial consultation the owner said right off the bat that Jesse was the right fit for me. His training and credentials were impressive and we got started right away. Turns out he was right. Based off the intake and symptoms I described, Jesse knew exactly what to focus on and developed an individualized plan to fit my needs all the while being aware of my limitations. I've been training for a little over a month now and I couldn't be happier where things are at. There was a pain between my shoulder blades that I thought would always be there that doesn't hurt at all. My low back is more stable and is holding up longer and longer. Im doing exercises I never thought myself to be able. For the first time in my life I feel hopeful that having a ton of pain might not be a lifelong issue which every doctor and specialist has told me it would be. Aside from my personal experiences...the gym itself is great. The equipment and machines are all kept in great condition. The gym isn't very big but they have everything you need and it's perfect for a personal training gym. I've never had to wait for a machine or piece of equipment. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming. And I think that covers everything. Like I said...only good things to say about this gym. Worth every penny.

In particular, I really enjoy Coach Marcus. I show up at 5 AM and he is raring to go... When I start, I'm always uncertain if I'm going to make it through my 60 min work out, but by the time I'm done, I am pumped but tired and really glad that I came. In addition to celebrating just showing up, Marcus has also celebrated my sobriety with me... When he sees me, he asked me "how many days?" and at first I thought he was talking about my workouts, but then I realized he remembered that I had gotten sober and he was Checking in with me for encouragement. This is not just a gym... It's a little bit of family. They all want to see you succeed. It's not the least expensive option, in fact it's not even close to it... But it's worth every penny. I will certainly keep coming as long as it's in my budget.

Have you ever joined a gym and didn't see results? Orangetheory Fitness is NOT that! If you are…read morelooking for a physical transformation with personal coaches pushing you, and you enjoy workout-classes, this is it! I started with OrangeTheory Fitness (OTF) Tacoma, before the University Place branch studio opened, and my husband joined UP OTF as a new grand-opening-member. We used to go to the 5am classes together until Covid shut everything down. UP OTF kept calling me on the phone to rejoin, and after many bad-habits (overeating, drinking, late-night snacking, lack of exercise, binge-watching and sedentary-habits) formed and I was embarrassed of my weight-gain, I rejoined OTF UP last May. The thing I love about Orangetheory is, you really don't need to think: just show up! The coaches take over and when you leave, you'll be a sweaty mess! I can never get THAT good of a workout (burning 500 calories) on my own at a gym in under an hour (50 mins) in comparison. So, I've been showing-up, and guess what happened? My inner-athlete came out! My old-college-athlete, buried deep within my now post-50-year-old body, came out. My desire to improve and change took over. It was buried DEEP within me, under those layers of extra 35 pounds I'd gained post-COVID, plus another 20 pounds post college, but it became awakened! Orangetheory Fitness says, if you show up with the desire to change, you will burn 500 calories every class! I also joined Noom, an app on my phone to track and teach me about my dietary habits, as I knew I wanted to improve my nutrition habits. The combination of eating healthy + OTF, in the past 9 months I've successfully lost 37 pounds! And I'm stronger and healthier! I love the coaches encouragement and the music, at OTF. What they do is research evidence-based, so they will call you out by your name! They will push you to use heavier weights or run harder and faster. I needed that! I needed the push from people who care to help get me across my finish line of personal goals. I wasn't able to lose the weight on my own: I'd tried for years! I didn't stop exercising during Covid, but walking my dog isn't the same as being told to lift heavy weights. And when was the last time I'd chosen to run hard on a treadmill at another gym? I never chose the treadmill! And I would never get on a rower for 20 minutes! But at OTF I do! It's that herd-mentality of if the entire group is doing it, I will too! And at OTF I do what I'm told, and I love the results!
