I have been a member of the CrossFit community for many years and whenever I am in Lakewood/Tacoma area I always drop in at CrossFit 253. Danny and is staff are wonderful and always guarantee an awesome workout. The box is always clean and very organized. Danny’s positive attitude is a constant reminder to work hard and do your best. I will be back to visit in November! I encourage anyone who reads this review to drop in and try CrossFit253 out. You will not be disappointed.

The coaches genuinely care and support me as an individual with my personal goals for fitness. The community of members is equally encouraging and helps hold me accountable. I count myself lucky to have this group at my side on my fitness journey.

CrossFit 253 is great! Danny & Deanna just do it right. They keep it fun and make sure that you are socially distanced with clean equipment and proper form.

Look, I’m a NO BS kind of guy. I’m 50 and 100+ lbs over weight. I’m full of arthritis and joint pain u can’t believe. I needed help getting out of chairs and was just in a dark place emotionally. I figured this was the way it was going to b the rest of my life. WRONG!!!! A friend of mine told me about this CF253 place and I laughed. Those places r made for the young athletic type, which of course I am not. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Yes there r those that r well more trained than I but they have a saying “ check ur ego at the door “ and my god that’s what happens. EVERYONE roots everyone on and it’s so up lifting. The coaching there couldn’t b any better. I was weak all over so the coaches modified my workouts but believe this, I have yet to leave there without being drenched in sweat. I’ve been there 90 days and I feel 10 years younger and DONT need help getting out of chairs anymore. CF253 answered the prayers I was looking for. No is not a answer, it’s a challenge there and trust me after a few classes, u will only b saying YES!!!

Joined a few months ago to get into shape for the fire academy starting here soon. Im in the best shape of my life and feel very prepared with sound functional fitness. I will continue to train at this gym and get pushed to the limit. The workouts are not easy but the staff is very educated and supportive to all walks of life to reach your goals.

This gym is awesome! All of the trainers are excellent and provide individualized (scaled) workouts every time you work out and encourage you to work hard but in the nicest way. There are all sizes and ages of people who are regulars. It’s a friendly, encouraging atmosphere.

CrossFit 253 is by far the best around! Such a positive and welcoming environment. the coaches are so knowledgeable and passionate they will work with you reach all of your fitness goals and motivate you to make new ones. It doesn’t matter if your just beginning or have a ton of experience in fitness. this is the place to go if you want to reach your goals and get in the best shape of your life.

Great gym! Awesome community! I’ve been a member of 253 Strong since 2019 and thoroughly enjoyed my fitness journey with the 253 Family. This is the longest I’ve stuck with a workout program / gym, mainly due to the encouraging atmosphere and acceptance of all fitness levels. If you’re thinking of giving cross fit / functional training a try or if you’re a seasoned CF athlete, this is a great place to train!

Great TEAM! Dee & Danny are great coaches, they make you dig deep, get results & push you to be better, to succeed at whatever goals you have. Such a fun and great group to be part of. I highly recommend all levels to join, beginners to pros! You will not be disappointed! Perfect for anyone wanting to try out crossfit, willing to put in the work for results, and even just to be surrounded by great people. It’s perfect for the physical side of health too!

Absolutely love Crossfit 253. As a new to crossfit and very nervous member they have made me feel like family and are very supportive. 100% recommend them! Shoutout to Coach Brooke!

CrossFit 253 is a great place to grow in your fitness. They are very welcoming and encouraging to all, no matter your fitness, skill, or athleticism. Your goals are their priorities. I highly recommend joining CrossFit 253 if you’re looking to push yourself in your fitness or wanting more of a community atmosphere.

From day one they (coaches and members) will make you feel like part of the 253 family. The coaches will help you achieve your fitness goals. It’s a fun environment just give it a try and you will like it.

Ive bounced in and out of a lot of gyms over the years but this the only place thats made me want to stick with it. Definitely would recommend. Since I started 8 month ago I feel 10 years younger, have more flexibility, and just feel better overall.

Best coaching and community. Danny both challenges and is safety conscious. He motivates you to keep moving forward while avoiding injuries. Im 46 and continue to make gains regularly. In the past 2 years Ive started to do things that I thought werent possible for me. My vocabulary had changed - now I say I cant do something yet...This is my third crossfit box. It will be my last because I love it and Im not leaving!

Dee and Danny are super awesome coaches. They really are passionate about what they do and encourage you to be the best version of yourself. Great for first timers and those with advanced athletic abilities. Overall its a great time and at times you forget that you are working out.

I appreciate this CF box. They have positive energy and WELCOME ALL! The the owners are very good at coaching each individual as an individual and part of the CF 253 Strong Family. I have been at this box over 4 years and can say I highly recommend this box.

I highly recommend 253 Strong. The owners and coaches get to know you personally and help tailor the workouts to individual needs. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. And their cleanliness for Covid measures goes above and beyond. Best gym ever for reaching and keeping your fitness goals.

Love CrossFit253! I felt welcome from my first visit on. The coaches are knowledgeable and provide individualized support to help you meet your goals.

This place is amazing! I have been interested in CrossFit but always intimidated by my lack of experience. Danny and the team have made me feel welcomed and take the time to educate and teach! If your on the fence about joining, 10/10 recommend checking them out!

Never attended this gym but was in contact with them ultimately decided on another gym that was closer and better for my schedule but they were super quick in responding to every question I had very respectful and friendly thank you for the amazing customer service truly makes a difference!

Very supportive and knowledgeable coaches. Plenty of classes to choose from. Although the workouts will push you to your limit the 253 Strong team make it enjoyable!

The culture of this box is AMAZING. Coaches are kind and preceptive; members have wonderful cohesion! Classes are both competitive and adaptive; highly recommend for all athlete types.

The community here at CF253 is amazing! Danny and DeAnna have cultivated a true sense of family. Positivity, kindness, and encouragement are all values that are weaved into this box. It doesnt matter whether youre new or a CrossFit veteran. You will always have someone cheering in your corner at gym and outside of it.

This gym is by far the best one I’ve experienced! Everyone is welcoming and welcome you into a family you never knew you needed! There’s no judgement, and the couches are invested in you.

The coaches the are enthusiastic. They encourage you to be better, they never give up on anyone. Its a real fun place to workout.If youre looking for a challenging workout, this might be the place for you.

Great communication and team building atmosphere. Danny and DeAnna have really built a close knit community of people that enjoy pushing into a better version of themselves.

The owners have sacrificed and endured 2020 by strictly adhering to public health guidelines while offering generous and flexible shceduling to permit ample gym access for us all. Kudos to Danny and Deanna Williams. Thank you.

The owners and coaches work hard to create an inviting and inclusive atmosphere. “Crossfit” can be intimidating if you’ve never tried it but they show that it’s really for everyone.There is a huge emphasis on safety and caution, while encouraging you to take on challenges. They have gone above and beyond the covid guidelines to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy. This place has been my saving grace during the pandemic. Love working out here!

Ive been to 4 boxes in the area, this one is my favorite. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get in shape . The have cultivated a fun, supportive, community atmosphere that is accepting of all skill levels.

Getting ready to make my second appearance at CF253 and truly cant wait for them to open. Im normally a bit anxious when trying new things with people I dont know, but Todd and the group made me feel welcome right from the start. Im hoping this will be the beginning of a long, beneficial program.

Came here for the throw down. Love the layout and people
