I love the group strength-training classes where I can safely learn how to lift barbells, kettlebells, and free weights in a class-like setting with knowledgeable trainers. The encouragement I receive from trainers and other members have built up my confidence to lift heavier and get stronger. I'm now able to perform daily functional tasks without pain! read more

Hands down my favorite place to train. Strong culture, strong people, strong results. can't say enough good things about this gym. If you're serious about strength training, this is the place to be. The equipment is top-notch, well maintained, and clearly chosen by people who actually lift. There's plenty of space to train without feeling crowded, and the atmosphere strikes the perfect balance -- focused, supportive, and zero ego. Check it out! read more

I've been attending OGM for 2 years now. I started when I noticed some changes going into perimenopause. I just celebrated my 52nd birthday, and I'm stronger than I was in all my 40's. I love the progress, gains, and mental health benefits, but that isn't what gets me there when it's hard. OGM is a place where I've made friends, a gym family, get cheered on, get hugged when things are hard, and know that I have a tribe of people who just want what's best for each other. No pretense. It's the perfect place to come when you know you want to make a change, but you feel like starting might be embarrassing. You don't already have to know anything or be able to do anything. It's welcoming, great instruction, and lot of ability to see people grow over time. read more

I've been coming to OGM for 2.5 years now and have never thought about going somewhere else. My mental and physical health has improved significantly, and the community at the gym is a family. We love and take care of each other. All the trainers are amazing, and Anthony knows how to make everyone feel welcome and like they can accomplish anything. read more

This place literally changed my life. I've made gains AND friends. The coaches get to know you and your power and encourage you every step of the way. Everyone is so nice and kindly competitive. I won't leave Tacoma because this place is here. This place made it home. read more

Becoming a member at Organically Grown has fundamentally changed the way I think about working out. While it's been nice to lose weight and gain muscle (really nice!), I now see the gym as a social place to get my mind right. I leave every single workout in a better mood. I've gone from chasing results to just looking forward to hanging out with these people three times a week. I laugh in every class. It's made a regular gym routine not just sustainable, but a necessary part of my week (which, coincidentally, has made for some really great results! There's probably a life lesson in there somewhere...). read more

I have been training with Anthony at Organically Grown Muscle for just under a year now. There are things I can do today, the Monkey bars, a hand stand, a push up - that I couldn't do a year ago (or ever..) because I have been training for 11 Months. I've lost 30lbs and gained so much strength. I feel like I have regular control over my entire body because of the strength I've gained. Additionally my cardio-vascular system has never been healthier - at the start of the year my Resting Heart Rate as 70 BMP and today its 49 BMP. I have spoken to him about signing on for another year because I have found an absolute addiction in the routine and growth that this sort of activity brings. read more

Organically Grown Muscle - Lost 30lbs and put on a ton of muscle working with Anthony at OGM - Gyms Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

The best gym I've ever had the pleasure of attending, without a doubt. I attended 6 and 7am group classes with trainer Chey and they were always challenging and fun. I saw my whole body and my mental state change drastically in a very short 4 months. I started off with the 6 week program which included a meal plan and am still following said meal plan to this day because of the physical benefits it has awarded me. I learned so much about fitness, nutrition and myself because of this wonderful place. It is extremely Queer friendly and woman friendly, and group classes are full of women who will support you, help you with your form, make you laugh, and always encourage you to lift heavier. I cannot recommend this place enough! Thank you Anthony and Cheyenne! read more

Our daughter is just starting to get into competitive swimming, so we reached out about some personal training sessions to help my daughter learn fundamental exercises that can help her with her swim strokes and make sure she knows how to do those SAFELY so she doesn't end up with an injury. Anthony is AMAZING. He's got a great way of working with kids and training her in a healthy way and making her feel confident and comfortable. Would recommend him 100%!! read more

Looking to kickstart my fitness journey, I took to the local Facebook groups. Organically Grown Muscle repeatedly showed up with positive recommendations and I promptly booked my first group Weightlifting 101 class. Anthony and Heather are approachable trainers who educate better form and gently encourage pushing personal boundaries. The classmates were equally supportive and friendly. Each completed class felt exciting as I learned the routine, and how to use the equipment confidently. There were many mornings I fought the comfort of extra sleep in order to make the 7AM class, but I never regretted the empowering start to my day! read more

Not intimidating in any way but it's an awesome workout. There are new programs every month so you don't get bored. The trainers are A+. Approachable and very educated. read more

I absolutely love coming here! I was never a gym or work out person but after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes I had to do something for my health! Anthony the owner is truly a rarity he cares for everyone who comes here. He encourages you it doesn't matter your fitness level your age there is something for everyone! His prices are reasonable and the people who come here couldn't be nicer. I came here by myself but I always feel like I have a gym buddy in the small group classes. I never feel judged and everyone supports and encourages each other. While I am not vegan I never feel like I am not welcome or pushed into it however if you and or have interest in becoming vegan Anthony is more than happy to help you get started or help you get further. I have managed to stay off medication for my diabetes three just diet and exercise because of coming here. If you have an injury are working your way back from an injury this is also the gym for you! Check it out you won't regret it!!! read more

Organically Grown Muscle - Hoodie! Is organic soft and made in America! I also got the tee shirt. - Gyms Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Anthony is a great personal trainer! I originally met him while doing personal training at the federal way community center and then he found a new journey to embark upon! I'm so excited for this next chapter in my life as Anthony helps me be the best I can. He also offers small group classes through out the week which are fun and often fill up. If you're looking for a positive change come see Anthony. He really is a diamond in the rough read more

When Anthony says this is a safe place he means it. For me...I'm so introverted that finding someplace new is a challenge. I don't publicize what I do and my fitness journey but for the last 2 years I've made working out a habit that I'm really proud of. But like all things if you want to get better you need to progress and change and challenge yourself. This is it...OG Muscle is exactly what I needed. Anthony takes the time individually to make sure you're learning and progressing. He's a great coach who doesn't judge you but opens the door to learning more. I started coming here at the beginning of November and through the course of the month I've gotten stronger...so much stronger. The progress that I've made in this one month wouldn't have happened had I not walked in the door (thanks Vanessa!). I chose to continue my journey here and I can honestly say...best decision I've made. read more

Anthony is a superb trainer. I never thought I'd have a personal trainer, but various health setbacks led me here. This is nothing like I imagined personal training to be. It's all encouragement, instruction, and fun. Its not boring ....I love weight training. It has become a habit ... a glorious habit. Anthony has managed to turn group classes into something people across a variety of fitness levels and ages can do together. Even me. And not just me ... He's got 70 year old women deadlifting and hanging by their arms for extended periods! Anthony is engaged and engaging, kind and entertaining and knows his stuff. He is really meant for this work. Highly recommended. read more

Was recommended to me by a friend. Almost seems as if you have a private instructor as classes are small. Anthony checks your form on each exercise to make sure you are using the correct muscle group and not over extending. He is young but broke his back at one time. Has certifications so felt confident in his abilities to instruct older adults through their abilities. Also, he models a healthy lifestyle without using protein powders. Have met people coming from Seattle and Gig harbor who drive to his gym to train for competition.. Offers a free class to him out or you can follow him on Facebook. read more

I was hesitant about reaching out to a personal trainer, however, I am so grateful I did. Every meeting with Anthony I am learning about safe and effective movements in support of my goals. My confidence has grown and my strength has surpassed what I thought was possible. Anthony creates detailed work out plans so I know what I'm doing when I walk into the gym! read more

I have been coming here for about two years, regularly attend the group weightlifting classes, have done personal training with Heather and attended some of Anthony's workshops. Anthony and Heather are both great trainers - supportive, accommodating and motivating. The workouts are always challenging in a good way. It is a fun community to be a part of and makes working out not so bad! The class sizes are small so you get plenty of feedback and support. Best place to workout in Tacoma! read more

I highly recommend Anthony both for individual personal training sessions as well his small group classes. His energy, instruction and ability to motivate make workouts much more fun. He offers many different classes & takes a holistic approach to fitness, offering varied workout combinations targeting whole body strength & fitness. You won't get bored training at Organically Grown Muscle. The camaraderie & energy he's created in his gym is something I haven't experienced before at a gym. Check it out!! read more

Love this place! I have been working with OGM for the past six months, and it's made a huge difference. Anthony will walk everyone through each exercise, focusing on what you can do--not what you can't do. The community and environment is very supportive of all abilities and all levels. Which is why I go! read more

Love this gym! I tend to be intimidated in group activities, but Anthony makes everyone feel welcome! He treats everyone the same, regardless of body size or ability. We've been working out with him since August 2019, and I'm amazed at the progress my husband and I have made. Never could have done it on my own! Highly recommend! read more

I sought Anthony out after watching the incredible videos documenting his own fitness activities. He is strong, ripped, and healthy, so it's obvious he knows how to achieve fitness goals. He is, hands down, the best personal trainer I've ever had, and I think I've worked with 6 or 7 over the years. The others were great, but Anthony is unusual in that he carefully tailored a unique plan for my specific goals. He really listened and paid attention to what my goals were, rather than using a one-fits-all approach. He provides a written plan of specific warmups, exercises, and stretches, so that there's no question about what to do between your sessions. This fitness plan gets updated every few weeks as you progress. In addition, he has shown me a lot of really unique and effective exercises that I have never seen before. I've been a fitness junkie for 30 years, and most "new" things I've learned from trainers and fitness teachers have just been variations on a theme. He has a really unique approach which keeps things fresh and highly effective. He is also easygoing and friendly with a great personality, so sessions are fun and engaging. He is dedicated and occasionally checks in with clients throughout the week to help them stay on track. He even made a bunch of fitness videos to keep everyone motivated to workout from home during the Covid-19 epidemic. Can't say enough good things about him! read more
