TCC Health and Wellness Center - Tacoma (WA)

George Lopez Haven’t been to the gym in awhile but decided to try some gyms in the area but still ended up going to LA fitness. They’re always keeping things clean and have a sauna. Staff has been very helpful. Manpal and Kane always make it a great experience. Friendly and easy to talk to if I have any questions. Kane provided great input on my goals during the complimentary training session. This gym is also very pet friendly. I take my service dog Moose there with me and they are always very welcoming to him.

Karen Fynboe Lael Jones has been my personal trainer and fitness coach for many years now. Her training expertise continues to make me stronger, maintaining and increasing my core and muscle strength. Her new training facility is gorgeous. I Just turned 74 and very excited with the addition of classes for Senior Fitness, Core on the Floor, Spin Classes, Balance work and working out with “fitness enthusiasts and like minded people.”

Theodore Kubasti I travel for work and was looking for a gym to join for my few months here (July - December of 2021). I tried out a few other CrossFit gyms in the area before I found UPCF. As soon as I went to my first class, I knew this was the gym for me! The friendliest people, awesome coaches, great programing and the best prices in the area! If youre looking for a gym around Tacoma, give this place a shot, you will absolutely not regret it!

Dusty Dragon Solid gym equipment. Im not into the wimpy isolation machines but there isnt too many of those here. I love loading up those plates on the barbells and sending them for a ride! Got some good spots to do some heavy deadlifting. The foam rollers are nice to help out my sore body. Ill be back here over and over again.

Vee Muk I was looking for a local gym. Found YOUniversal. Came in for a consultant and walk through. Mike had me do a few workouts, be prepared on your consultation. It was a good mini workout before work. I signed up and happy to be training with Mike. I met the other Trainers Sandy and D. All super friendly and helpful. I really like the vibe of the gym and will keep going back. If youre reading this, book a consultation. :)

Kauffman Nathaniel (NobleNobu222) I have been to dozens of gyms in my 17 years of exercise, and Spanaway Fitness Center is my favorite out of all of them. The ambience and contrast between the dark side of the gym(powerlifting, turf area(my favorite)) and the light side of the gym(machines, cardio) is palpable, and makes the experience more refined and productive. The staff are kind, courteous, and take good care of the facility and its patrons. There is a rough around the edges feel to the gym(old school) if you are seeking a ton of rules, polished surface level franchise corporate BS, then this is not the place for you. If you want to be strong, healthy, and go to the gym for its primary focus(increasing your "stats"), and surrounded by like minded people, then look no further. Lastly, as a Marine Corps Veteran, it brings me joy every day to workout in the presence of our flag. Semper Fi -NOBU

montai howard Over the past few years lve been on and off with my fitness journey. Wasnt able to find a gym that fit my needs. I found grit city and coach jeff and thats exactly what its been. We are in there working and pushing limits daily to make ourselves into the people we all want to be. Coach Jeff is very interactive and keeps everyone on pace. Its just like having a personal trainer during the duration of the work out. By far the best gym and the best atmosphere/community in any gym lve ever been in. Would recommend if youre serious about your goals!!

Jolene Ward I can’t say enough great things about this Pilates studio. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and attentive to proper form, which makes every class feel both effective and safe. The space is always clean, welcoming, and well-organized, and the class energy is positive without being intimidating. I’ve noticed real improvements in my strength, posture, and overall well-being since joining. Each session feels tailored, and the instructors genuinely care about your progress. If you’re looking for a studio where you’ll feel supported, challenged, and motivated, this is the one.

U Riley I have been knowing Vanessa and Seth for almost 10 years. They changed my life forever. Not only physically but also mentally. They turned from being my trainers to my gym family. We prepped for several shows together. We went through the highs and lows that comes with competition prep. They always pushed me to become a better version of myself. I can also say, that after I moved to Florida I couldn’t find a gym like the Training Pit. This gym will be my forever gym when I visit the PNW and V and S will be my forever gym family! They will be also my prep coaches for my next show in the future!

Julie Lehosky I am so appreciative of the level of expertise. The owner, Ellen leads with her passion for fitness, health & genuine concern for her clients. She wants all of us to reach our fulll fitness potential. Plus it’s a blast & it makes exercise fun again!
