People are serious about their goals while keeping a down to earth attitude. People are great and welcoming. Loe is amazing and gives you the supportive and technical feedback you need to get better.

I'm glad I did since I found a gym with great trainers and learned how unqualified Vie trainers are to coach proper form, and the workout program is inefficient for those with body composition change goals. I came to find out later that the owner is very religious and the cliques are likely a result of the members and trainers who share her faith. It also seems like her business is wrapped up with the LDS church. However you feel about that, people should know who they're giving money to.

Recently tried my first class at Vie Athletics in Gig Harbor. Coach Annie was approachable, kind,…read moreknowledgeable, and radiated great energy. The studio was clean, the music was upbeat, and the equipment was in good condition. The Saturday class I went to was pretty full however I felt energized and motivated by all the amazing women around me. There were women of all ages and skill levels. Check out Vie's website to look at their class schedule. There are several locations around the Puget Sound area. You can register for your first class, which is FREE! Once you sign up for class, you watch a brief video demonstration to see what exercises you will complete during your workout. I felt like the workout was challenging, since I am out of shape, and used the modifications. Coach Annie was very encouraging and gave feedback on appropriate form. She also gave the first-timers a little memento after our first class. Vie offers a variety of different monthly membership options, and has a virtual at-home program option. I will definitely be back!

The place is clean enough and there are TVs, fans, free WiFi, and water fountains with water bottle fills. I will note that the water bottle fill station has needed maintenance for a while now so I stopped using it. Also one for the squat racks has been moved into an awkward position and needs to be adjusted. Other than that it's great!

They offer classes are geared for all levels, with right amount of challenge. The cues are easy to follow and visual guidance is also available when needed. Honestly, being cued correctly and being corrected when I'm out of alignment or in the wrong position have kept me from injury. Reformer Pilates has changed my life, I love it! I took a few private lessons with Amanda as my intro to pilates. She and the lessons were so amazing, I've been hooked ever since. When I'm in town, I come to the studio fairly consistently and my body has been transformed, completely snatched. I feel my workouts all over, every atrophied muscle has been awakened. Every instructor does something "special" in their class, please try them all, you will not be disappointed. I highly, highly recommend coming here.

I started coming here about 6 months ago. My daughter wanted me to improve my health and fitness…read moreand gave me 20 visits as a gift. I have NEVER lifted weights before so CrossFit was all new to me!" I was impressed by how friendly and welcoming EVERYONE is from the young couple that own the business to the coaches to all the fellow people that come for a workout. With zero experience everyone was patient with me and walked me through the workout classes. The classes are in different levels. I really enjoy the classes for people 55 years and older. The workouts are designed for someone older or less skilled like me. They usually have between 10 and 25 people in each hour long class. The first 10 minutes or so are spent stretching and warming you up for the workout. They rotate between upper and lower body workouts (often each day has a combination of the two and then there is a cardio element. After my 20 visit pass ran out I chose a monthly plan that works for me. I can attend up to 4 classes a week and it costs me less than $5 a class. That is a great value for the workouts you get. In addition to the improved fitness I have also made some new friends and hope to keep coming for a long time!

A few short weeks ago, I hobbled into my chiropractic office using a cane because I was…read moreexperiencing debilitating back pain. My doctor advised me to hit the gym and strengthening my core. I then got into contact with a few gyms in the area, but only one of them seemed like a good fit: University Place CrossFit. To me, this gym feels very inclusive. For someone like me who hasn't worked out regularly in 20+ years and has mobility issues, this place has been great. It's a smaller gym, the owners John and Ashley are great. The other members have been nothing but helpful and encouraging. I feel like I have a lot of very knowledgeable, fitness oriented individuals actively helping me feel better. To me, that's HUGE. anyway, after a few short weeks, coming in 3 times per week, I no longer need my cane and am experiencing far less pain. I went from barely able to walk to doing split squats and actual RUNNING! This place is great!
