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.

With his guidance and training, I no longer am getting cortisone shots in both hips, am much stronger and leaner than women much younger than myself.

Boot camp on Saturdays are complimentary for anyone, member or not, and the weekends just wouldn't be the same without it!

As a beginner to yoga... I was looking for a studio to continue practicing yoga while home for the…read moreholidays. I'm originally from the Bay Area and I was very pleased to learn there was a yoga studio near my parents' home (at least one that didn't require bridge toll or a 30+ min drive). So I booked classes for the days I was staying in Gig Harbor and absolutely loved this yoga studio. LOGISTICS The yoga studio itself is very beautiful and airy. The high ceilings and lighting make it a great space for practicing yoga. Also very clean! They provide yoga mats, blocks, and straps to borrow... but you're free to bring your own. I also like that they provide the yoga mat cleaner spray, which is a great reminder to use after class. I booked all my classes online so the process was very easy. I had a few issue when I accidentally booked a same day class and couldn't cancel, but they were quick to returning my desperate email+calls to let me know they took me off the roster and would honor my class credits for a future class. The customer service communication has been a very good experience for me. There was an error in pricing for a pair of yoga pants I purchased through them, but we were able to resolve it over email without me needing to come in. Currently they require masks in the studio, however they make an exception if you email or show them your vaccine cards. You're still required to wear a mask when off your mat, but during the class itself you can remove it. It makes it so much easier to practice breathing this way. Parking is super easy since it's located in the Uptown shopping area next to the movie theater and HomeGoods. CLASSES The studio offers a very wide variety of class formats at different times of the day. Since I'm fairly new to yoga and could really only do morning classes... I've only done "Vinyasa Flow: Level 1 & 2" and "Hatha Strength and Stretch". Both are good for beginners and even if you're starting out, you can always go at your own pace / make adjustments as needed. Or rest in child's pose. The website will advise the experience level required for each class when you sign up, and the instructors are happy to provide extra instructions to complete newbies (at least from observation). Pacing can be slow or moderate in these classes - it depends a little on the instructor. I had one sub that did a faster pace for a Level 1 & 2 class, but it was quite fun to keep up with. It's really important to pay attention to what the instructor is saying in terms of cues when switching poses. And if you're very new... I'd recommend being in the middle row so you can not only see the instructor but also observe what others are doing. I enjoyed the classes and they were a fairly good workout (I did sweat in a few of them). I also never felt any judgement or pressure on how I was doing my poses. Plus the classes were all a little different in terms of poses used and the flow. After class, I always felt refreshed and relaxed after stretching out my body and working some muscles. INSTRUCTORS I really like the instructors at this studio - very clear cues and instructions, and they offer options depending on your fitness level. They've all been very friendly and unlike other yoga corporate studios I've been to, they actually try to focus on the spiritual aspect of it (without being too preachy). VALUE Coming from the Bay Area... unless I'm committing to a class package/membership, I'm used to paying $30 for one drop in class. Here, a drop in class is only $20 and the price gets lower as you do a class package or membership. $20 a drop in class is a really good deal ESPECIALLY when you're allowed to take more than one class in a day with your drop in class. They offer specials for new clients, like a 30 day trial at an extremely discounted rate. If you're in the area I'd highly recommend it so you can try all the different classes. They also offer discounts for military, which is thoughtful of them. Really though, the value is there for a yoga studio of this quality. OVERALL This dedicated yoga studio is a great addition to Gig Harbor. There's a sense of community and relaxation afterwards, which is something you won't usually get out of "gym" yoga classes. I'm a little jealous that my hometown has a yoga studio like this, but I'll look forward to stopping by to keep up my practice whenever I'm in town.

I could easily go to classes in Tacoma or Lakewood but haven't felt the need. plenty of classes for me after work and on weekends with no pressure to do more than I'm ready. I would encourage men ( and women of course ) to give it a try as it was not something I thought was a "guy" thing and I lost years of practice so go and take some classes , you won't regret it.

Tons right in front. That's a plus you don't have to worry about!

This location is on the smaller side and can get pretty busy at times. There's plenty of cardio equipment and machines available. I usually can get the equipment that I want. There's plenty of racks and weights, but just one smith machine. I like that there are a few bathrooms scattered throughout the gym, and that they have showers and little items one might need like tampons and hair ties. The employees are always friendly. Overall, I enjoy my workouts here at Anytime.

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 (:

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!
