Machos Gym - Tacoma (WA)

5 /5 Jaeylin Severino: I was almost 250 lbs. I had plateaued and was ready to give up on my weight journey. After getting married I’d gained over 60 lbs and couldn’t drop it. I ran into Danny while I was on a walk and he took me in and showed me around.. I was anxious because I’m used to commercial gyms and I thought he’d be pushy but he wasn’t. I did some training with him and he taught me new methods and showed me how to workout smarter, not harder. He was affirming, funny and flexible. In just 3 months he helped me drop 15 lbs when I hadn’t been able to lose more than a pound just to gain it back before I’d met him. The gym is awesome, lots of equipment and membership is affordable. Even his coaching sessions are competitively priced. I ended up going to college and got a free ymca membership, but I still use Danny’s coaching techniques on myself and am building muscle and losing fat extremely quickly. And my confidence is thru the roof. Go see this guy, he’s magic.

5 /5 Cristal Lara: Been coming here for 3 years. Love that it is open 24/7. The owner Danny is very knowledgeable. He talks to and cares about his patrons. It’s not crowded like other gyms. My two teen boys come here too. Would recommend to anyone.

5 /5 Michael Belcher: This is the greatest Gym in Tacoma, he started in the garage and now has blossomed to a main stay in the area. He is a great trainer and a great motivator! His gym covers all your needs from training to wellness!! Thanks for getting the weight off with your plan!

5 /5 TheBigWalt 96: When touring this gym with the owner, it was easy to see the level of care that he puts into not only the gym itself but also the members. He greeted the two folks that were already there with a smile and by name. He cared that someone hadn’t put their weights away, which shows me that he takes an insane level of pride in the place. And all of that care, will ultimately trickle down to the overall experience at the gym. I’ve seen a lot of locally owned gyms and I’ve met a lot of the owners. Some are really nice, but the gym itself isn’t, or the facility is beautiful, but it’s clear the owners (if you see them) sees you as a number. The passion and pride in this place is clear and I can’t recommend it enough. Of course I also have to give them a shout out for making such an impact on my national guard unit, donating thousands of dollars of equipment. He could have sold it but instead, when I reached out to him, he sent me away with more than I could’ve hoped for. My unit and myself are eternally grateful and if you read this full review, that alone should tell you that this man is passionate about fitness, coaching, and changing lives. He’s a credit to the community, and this gym is sure to be the fitness jewel of the city.
