I've never done personal training before but after having surgery on my neck a year ago and…read morefinishing up physical therapy, I wanted to get back in shape, but I am hypermobile and need highly personalized care due to postural issues and compensations. I first asked if they ever worked with any hypermobile clients because so many trainers don't even know what that is, and when I sent a message to Beometry, Isaac set up a time for a call to discuss my needs and spent a whole hour talking to me on the phone about my goals, past injuries, hypermobility, past athletic experiences etc! Most places would just want to get you in the door as soon as possible and take your money, but I felt like Isaac truly understood my issues and actually cared! He put together a plan for me and I have worked with Miriam in a small group personal training session. Miriam is unbelievably talented and came up with all kinds of workarounds due to some of the issues I have with my joints. When I first came in, I still had a lot of pain and stiffness in my neck, back and ribs, and we have worked on improving my mobility, especially in my ribs, and breathing. After going to Beometry for a few months, I just went on my first backpacking trip in 20 years, which is something I never thought I'd be able to do again, and I'm actually feeling so well that I am planning on hiking the PCT next year (all 2,650 miles of it). I can't thank Beometry enough and would recommend them to anyone in the area who is looking for a trainer whether it's for weight loss, general fitness, or gaining mobility back to live pain free!!

My relationship with GRIT CITY FITNESS AND PERFORMANCE is a life changer…read more I have never felt like I was part of a fitness community before coming here. I have never felt like my effort was meet with results before coming here. I am 37 years old, and this year is the first time I've understood my body's needs and how to give it the best possible circumstances for health and wellness. I use Jeff's virtual Team Training, Serena's Superhero You and nutritional coaching. I'm forty weeks in to recording of nutrition and I don't ever want to stop habits, nor my relationship with Grit. The virtual training is more than just watching a workout. You can workout live with the coaches... and Jeff is ridiculously good and concise with remembering/recommending substitute movements for your limitations or injuries, and very resourceful with helping you utilize the objects you already have in your home. I have many many many public Facebook posts about this place if you're still on the fence about investing in yourself. Oh - and the generous outpouring of support and communication through several channels (fb,insta,email etc) is 24/7. They have really really found a way to personalize your health, while still keeping you part of the group.

The entire team here is incredible and the members are awesome as well. We have both done personal training (my trainer was Kam) here and learned a lot and we go to the Sunday class most often . Ascent is both welcoming and accommodating to folks of all identities and abilities and of all sizes. As someone with concerns about environments that can foster an environment where counting calories and weighing in are encouraged or emphasize is put on size, Ascent is the exact opposite. Ascent is a wonderful unicorn place where people can go just to learn how to better move their bodies and grow stronger and find victories that have nothing to do with size- like hiking longer distances, or having less back pain, or being able to lift more. They always offer alternative exercises to meet people where they're at which is super refreshing. They also host so many great events and series classes like queer inclusive self defense. We drive from a fair distance away because the community here is so much better and they have a mission you can't help but support. By far the best collective group of humans I've met since moving to Washington and that is such a testament to the owners Luca and Katie!

I've been attending Ascent Fitness since summer 2019 and I've loved every moment of it. The…read moretrainers are down-to-earth and supportive, the environment is friendly and encouraging, and the workouts kick my butt every time. The focus at this gym is functional fitness, so you do a variety of exercises each time you go--including crawling, get-ups, weights (and body weight exercises), lunges, etc. I also love that the trainers will give plenty of modifications as needed, as I'm limited in shoulder mobility due to an injury. Their main format is small group classes, but personal training and open gym hours are also available. Which works for me, became I'm way more accountable when I'm in a class anyway! I've gotten noticeably stronger since I first started, which has helped me not only in my work and at home, but with my self-confidence overall. Exercise really is the best self care. Thank you, Ascent Fitness!

Case in point, on day one the owner diagnose an issue that I was having with my form for one of the Olympic, weightlifting movements, which another gym in the areas coaches hadn't noticed for seven months, and had led to an injury. Day one Joe diagnosed the problem and it was fixed without me even asking!There are two sides of the gym, dedicated for electric weightlifting on one side, and the other side, high intensity, interval training. This shit is easily accessible, clean, and has easy parking. It is not a globo gym, nor is it simply an iron fitness. There is space for what you need if it's a casino workout, or you're dropping in for open gym or individual weightlifting session. Coaches run classes on time, one hour, which is not the experience that I have had other community style gyms in the past in the area. American flag over the door, attentive coaches and community, never asking for reviews online (a great plus!), accessible in ten minutes or less from JBLM, Lakewood, all the way up to Ruston. Great location for access!

They certainly aren't used to drop ins at the 5:30am class so I felt like I surprised her a little when I showed up. There isn't a lot of info on their website about drop ins, so I just reached out via email ahead of time to let them know I was coming. They have the coolest t-shirts from american apparel too! I feel like I would drop in again just to get another shirt! The programming was awesome and I got a great workout in! They have fantastic equipment and it's all in wonderful condition. You can tell they take pride in their gym. There is plenty of parking in their lot too, which is always a concern in the urban areas. If you're in the Tacoma area I definitely suggest dropping in at Tacoma Strength!

"what's Crossfit?" I definitely didn't know what I was signing up for when my school [University of…read moreWashington Tacoma] was having a sign-up for something called Cross Fit on their Facebook page. Just in the midst, I have been debating over where to re-join at a gym to start working out [hopefully commit....] it was only a $5 fee for UWT students to attend an orientation and to go in twice a week for I think it was a month or so. I went to the orientation, no one but myself showed up.. kind of embarrassing. When I first stepped in, I felt like Plankton from Spongebob... I was scrawny compared to these extreme work-out people... even the ladies were muscled-up. Since I was by myself, it was more one on one orientation which gave me more space to ask questions and such. I think the person's name was Morgan? Maybe.. I don't remember~ he took me around and showed me the different exercises Crossfit involves. I was really excited to try this out. After the orientation it was a couple weeks after that I attended my first actual session. WOW... I am exercise-impaired, literally... I cannot properly work out for some odd reason despite being "out of shape". It was super embarrassing that I was so slow and had to use a pipe compared to others who had pretty heavy weights attached to their bars. I don't know if Crossfit is exactly what I am looking for when it comes to working-out but definitely I am proud of myself for giving it a go. But just a bit too intense for my level. The trainers and people at the session were super friendly and understanding about my lack of skills and was patient with me as I struggled embarrassingly... back and forth across the gym... with the weight sled thing dragging behind me (:

Absolute horrible customer service experience with the GM. Ongoing issue with collection of payment…read morefor dues. GM accused me of having insufficient funds, repeatedly, only to find he and his entire staff were improperly entering payment information into their system. I was advised this was a 'training' issue by an Accounting person at a separate branch. Additionally, the GM 'Mozzy' is extremely condescending and patronizing in conversation. He prides himself on his own perceived intellect and superiority, to the point of delusion. I attempted to troubleshoot THEIR issues with payment processing for 2+months only to be talked down to and treated as ignorant. I spoke with Mozzy on several occasions to try and fix the payment issue only for him to explain to me (after incorrectly collecting payment and denying us entry to the facilities) that he deals with this issue "100's of times each week" and can't recall talking to me. If an issue like this is recurring "100's of times each week" maybe there's an internal issue??? Maybe YOU and your team aren't doing something properly?? Lastly, my son (24) went in to discuss the situation with Mozzy after I was advised (again) everything had been settled, only for Mozzy to begin an argument with my son. The best part, Mozzys staff called to apologize to me for how disrespectful and rude he was to my son. WOW! I guess I'm not the only one who sees this guy is on a power trip?! This guy Mozzy's confidence in his abilities far exceeds his actual skill and comprehension. This establishment should be ashamed to use members dues to employ such an incompetent disrespectful person. If Mozzy is too smart and too capable to be bothered with paying customers, he should do himself a favor and find somewhere else to work that values his self-perceived superior intellect. Clearly Tacomans are too ignorant and undeserving of common respect or curtesy. Additionally, I would like to mention the staff member who called noted she was in fear of 'getting in trouble' but wanted to let me know personally how sorry she was for how we were being treated. How sad for the staff at this location to have to work under this authoritarian. Lastly, this Mozzy character felt it was necessary to let me know he is 'former' law enforcement. Knowing now what I do about how my sons were treated (both threatened with being trespassed and one being threatened with being banned) I now understand why he mentioned this - it's an intimidation tactic. Mozzy is on a severe power trip and thinks he can bully people he sees as inferior. For the record, we have been members of this gym for 4 years with ZERO previous issues. I am sickened at the way my sons have been treated. If LA bothers responding, it better not be 'Mozzy'. My son went in to file a formal complaint today and was advised by Mozzy that he was the one to take the complaint (which was against himself). For being a former law enforcement officer, I'm surprised this guy is unfamiliar with the term 'conflict of interest'. In the same conversation he threatened to have my son banned and told him that 'he could leave' if he didn't like the way he was being treated. This behavior is a severe abuse of authority and power. To feel the need to mention to gym members that you are a former cop signals a bigger issue and concern. This guy is a major LIABILITY. Gross. I am formally requesting contact information for the regional manager of the LA Fitness - 72nd location. I want a formal complaint filed and taken seriously.
