Strength & Conditioning01

Get Stronger and Fitter — in the Same Hour

Strength & Conditioning

Our Tacoma strength & conditioning classes use the progressive lifting and hard conditioning many people associate with CrossFit-style training. You will build strength and cardiovascular fitness in the same coached hour, but no one expects you to use the same weight or movement as the person next to you. Coaches adjust each workout to your experience, injuries, and goals so you can move well, feel good, and stay strong for life.

  • Progressive strength programming paired with fast-paced conditioning
  • Build muscle, boost endurance, and develop explosive power
  • Every movement scales to your level — lift what's right for you
  • A coached, supportive community cheering you on, no matter how much weight you're moving

Personal & Semi-Private Training03

Coaching Designed Around You

Personal & Semi-Private Training

Personal Training and Semi-Private Training are the most effective, efficient ways to reach your individual goals. Ideal for anyone who wants more one-on-one input or a plan built specifically around them, this is coaching designed around you — not a class you fit yourself into. One of our experienced coaches will clarify your objectives, assess your movement, and build a program designed specifically to improve your performance. Our coaches bring specialized expertise in barbell training, Olympic lifting, pre- and post-natal training, injury rehabilitation, aging athletes, and perimenopause/menopause training — so you can work with someone who understands exactly where you're starting from. Train one-on-one for fully individualized attention, or semi-private with a small group for shared energy and a plan still tailored to you.

  • Expert programming tailored to your needs
  • Education on proper, injury-reducing technique
  • Motivation, accountability, and flexible scheduling
  • One-on-one or semi-private — choose the level of individual attention that fits you

Endurance Training04

Train for Something Bigger

Endurance Training

Our bike and run club connects you with a community of athletes training together and taking on events as a group — from the Seattle to Portland bike ride to the Rainier to Ruston Run, the Tacoma Half Marathon, local gravel and mountain bike races, and more. You'll get access to a private community to connect with other athletes, plus group training built around upcoming events. We'll also help you think through how to support your endurance training with strength and conditioning, so the two work together instead of against each other. Want more individual support? One-on-one coaching is also available for cycling, running, or triathlon.

  • Private community to connect with fellow endurance athletes
  • Group training leading up to major events
  • Guidance on pairing endurance work with strength & conditioning
  • One-on-one coaching available for cycling, running, or triathlon

Nutrition Coaching05

Fuel Your Body

Nutrition Coaching

Nutrition is the foundation of training. You need to adequately fuel your body to take full advantage of your work in the gym. Whatever your goal — changing body composition, supporting your training and fitness, GLP-1 support, or building long-term health — we'll partner with you to create a manageable, sustainable plan that fits your life.

  • Change your body composition
  • Learn to eat to fuel your body and support your fitness goals
  • Support for GLP-1 users
  • Build habits for long-term health
