Trained there for about a year and had amazing improvements in strength. If you are looking for professional and experienced trainers this is the place to go.

Totally addicted to the gym. I love this place. Absolutely the best choice out of all the gyms. The Training Pit has really everything to offer. Well, theres not a pool or sauna- steam room but they have everything else.

This place has given me a whole new appreciation for the gym. Great community, great atmosphere, great overall experience. You won’t want to go anywhere else!

Best gym in Tacoma,whether you are a beginner or experienced very well fit, the training pit has everything to help you accomplish your goals and take your body to the next level .Seth and Vanessa are truly genuine fitness guru’s and are hands down the best trainers I have had. They teach you the proper lifting and and excersise form and technique that is critical to avoid injury. Most importantly their knowledge in nutrition is top notch that has helped me with my weight loss and muscle gains...so I highly recommend this gym if you really want to accomplish your goals.....

Want to get the weight lost results that you have always desired? Well, look no further Seth and Vanessa, are the dynamic duo and co-owners of the Training Pit, and they got you covered. Both are master trainers and together they contain almost 30 years of knowledge and expertise as diet specialist & contest prep coaches. “Discipline over habit” is the Pits motto and it comes to no surprise as the gains everyone makes once they step foot into this energetic and contagious environment. There is just something special about the energy at this gym that keeps you coming back and wanting more!Personally, after having my first child, I was struggling to get the hormonal mommy weight off. With nutritional guidance, excellent workouts personalized to my body, patience and consistency there is no doubt that I will reach any fitness goals that I put my mind to. Both Seth and Vanessa together are fire!!! Trust me when I say that you want them to be your coach too!

I’ve been working out at the Pit for over 4 years and Seth and Vanessa have been nothing but awesome. Small mom and pop joint to get the job done. If your looking for a sauna or a pool this isn’t your place, but if your looking to move the iron without all the Bros around, this is for you. Cheers and god bless.

I love this gym! Ive done several different kinds of boxing gyms, and The Training Pit is my favorite. Every work out is challenging and different each time. Its quick, effective and very doable with a busy schedule. Ive never been in better shape!

As a martial arts instructor and athlete I engage in strenuous physical activity every day of the week. I trust Seth and Vanessa to keep my body functioning at its highest possible level. Whether in regards to my diet, mobility, weight training, or cardio they have specific answers tailored to my goals. They care about everyone at the gym as is evidenced by their constant willingness to answer a question or make a correction. Their knowledge of human performance is second to none, and the results show in their clients. The facility itself provides the space and equipment any client would require to achieve their goals. More important to me is the environment provided by the coaches who teach there and the people they train. To train in an encouraging and motivating environment makes the process enjoyable. Being at The Training Pit takes the guesswork out of getting in shape: when I do as Im coached I can see and feel the results. I wish I had this facility and the knowledge of its staff twenty years ago.

It is a well organized gym; clean, professional, and without the unnecessary things. The people are nice and respectable. I showed up with past injuries and no weight lifting experience. Seth listened to me and knew what I was dealing with. The process of training with him (over a period of months) was liberating. As I communicated, he made adjustments accordingly and helped me overcome initial fears and discomfort, with knowledge and decision. I made good physical progress during that time and feel recovery and optimum health is possible with time and effort. Working out is enjoyable now and I continue to make progress from what I learned. The value of my experience outweighs the cost. I highly recommend this gym and look forward to training again.

Seth and Vanessa are great. Regardless if you want to lose fat, gain muscle, or lose weight; just focus on the nutrition plan they provide you and you will succeed. Additionally, whether you want to do a bodybuilding contest, fitness competition, have a sport specific training (mine is ballet), or you just want to be healthy; these guys will get you where you want to be.

I can’t say enough about the training pit and Vanessa! she and Seth were so welcoming when my husband and I joined. When I got pregnant Vanessa trained me and worked with me on my nutrition. She was the perfect blend of pushing me to go beyond what I thought I was capable of, but also helping me adjust my routine based on any questions or concerns I had. My pregnancy has been so smooth and I look and feel better than I did even before I was pregnant. I attribute that to her wealth of knowledge in both nutrition and training. Even still she checks in on me and is always there if I need help with anything. I also did some PT with Seth and he is so brilliant with the knowledge he has and the way he explains things. These two are amazing at their trade and we have learned so much from them. My husband and I are more knowledgeable, more disciplined, have better ideas about training and nutrition, and are all around more healthy for having known and worked with them. They’re wonderful people; check out the pit and get to know/work with them, you will not regret it!

I am so happy with The Training Pit and everything they have done for me! I have trained with Vanessa and Seth for the last 12 weeks and have made a 20 lb weight drop and an overall increase in my mental and physical health. Seth and Vanessa work with you, and are real with you. You follow the plans they give you and you kick butt in training and youll see an improvement! I couldnt have asked for a better jump start in taking my life back. I cant wait to keep training and seeing my body change!

I work with Seth and Vanessa on nutrition and workouts and its been a great experience! Both are incredibly knowledgeable, communicative, and attentive. Ive been able to put on some quality muscle and shape during my offseason through training and nutrition guidance. They were so helpful working through a hamstring injury, too!

Did yourself a favor and train here. Itll change you.

I live a very active lifestyle and train in combat sports. I have suffered significant injuries to where I thought I would not be able to continue to do what I love. My quality of life was greatly effected. After working with Seth and Vanessa, I am farther along than I imagined and able to train at a high level. They are not only knowledgeable in their craft but care about their clients and their progress. Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional athlete, I highly recommend The Training Pit.

Amazing place to transform your body. I started with Seth and Vanessa at 270lbs 60% bodyfat. They helped me form a realistic plan to transform to 210lb 10% bf. Seths meal plans are spot on to reduce fat and maintain lean body mass. Both Seth and Vanessa customize their training plans to fit their clients goals and abilities, definitely try both. The gym has 24hr access and everyone Ive met there is supportive and encouraging.

I have visited twice as Im debating to join or not. It is close to my work location. My walk through indicated the place was clean with plenty of equipment. Also, 24 hour access is a plus

Been training with Seth & Vanessa for at least three years now. Though my personal goals have changed throughout, they have been nothing but supportive & extremely knowledgeable!! From the basic form & establishing a workout routine, to nutrition & helping me recover from a work injury.They are the best!!!

Open 24 hours, and the owners are super nice and helpful. Good cardio machines though I wish there was a treadmill. Definitely a great place for real bodybuilders to workout at and the monthly prices are a steal!Highly recommended!

Great Private gym experience. The owners Seth and Vanessa are great and take great care of the gym. Definitely recommend as a private gym. And its 24 hours! Even better!

Very knowledgeable, creative, and detailed personal training. Trainers really value what you are aiming to accomplish and work out a plan to put you in position to succeed. Highly recommend!!

Great Staff & Hannah Hartman, My Personal Trainer is the Best! She is 100% a Professional and she knows her craft well! She also trains my 15-year-old son, which is a feat in itself! The facility is kept clean and has a great vibe for real people who want to work out. Check it out.

This gym is the truth! Hardcore trainers with amazing equipment. This is no avg chain gym. Its a private gym, never too crowded and full of people there to work hard.

Cool place old school atmosphere fun

The place to go if you are serious about getting in shape.

Great Trainers! Great Programs!
