I’ve been a member here two years & have had a great experience. Top notch designed in-house programming that addresses both strength & conditioning very well.Despite lifting on my own for the last 20 years, I have regularly set new personal bests with their programming, learned a ton of new movements I could never get before, & made a ton of friends a long the way.(Despite reviews suggesting otherwise, I was not bribed with swag for this review πŸ˜‚, but also why would you care for swag unless you liked the gym? πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ)

I joined Town Athletics when I was 15 year old. Now that I’m 20, I believe this gym deserves as much praise as I can give. When I joined, I was never really into fitness and primarily did school sports for the requirement. However, thanks to the welcoming community and excellent programming, I soon developed a large passion for fitness that now has become a large part of my life now. On the fitness side, the programming caters towards novices and fitness veterans and is well planned. On the personal side, many of my high school life memories will be the pr’s I made, the wods I did and most importantly the friends I made at Town Athletics. I sincerely cannot imagine my life without this gym.

I joined Town about a week ago. At this point I have been doing CrossFit for over 2 years but had really hit a plateau with my training. I had also forgotten how much fun Crossfit can be. Every day there is something new to learn and to work on. The coaches are fantastic and I love that they touch base with you regardless. So far I really love this box and look forward to creating some new PRs.

This CrossFit gym is simply amazing. As a travel professional, I’ve been to many CrossFit gyms, and this one tops them all. The coaches really focus on good form, the programming is top notch, has all the equipment/gear you can think of, and the environment is great. Absolutely love this place

I started at Town about a year ago after I had been out of CrossFit for a few years. I really enjoy the community and atmosphere! The coaches are great and very knowledgeable. Each one has helped improve my lifting technique. They offer a variety of class times daily, which makes it easy to find one that fits your schedule. I recommend this gym to all my friends. No matter what your fitness goal is, they will help you achieve it!

Ive been a member of Tacoma Athletics for 2+ years. I love the coaches and the focus on proper form over just lifting heavy weights. The coaches are great and the other members have always been friendly. Ive still got a lot of movements to work on (muscle-ups and rope climbs and handstand push-ups to name a few) - but I feel like Im always making progress. The online coaching and constant outreach to members during the COVID epidemic has been awesome and help s keep me motivated. They also offer individualized training and the coaching extends to nutrition and supplements as well. Whatever your goals, the coaches can help you reach them!

I have been a member at Town Athletics for almost 2 years. DANG, time flies. Since being a member I have grown so much as a person and an athlete. The coaching at Town is phenomenal and it shows daily in the attentiveness and care from each individual coach. The programming speaks for itself, especially if you dedicate yourself, and are consistent in showing up (i mean what programming works if you aren’t dedicated and consistent anyway)... Over the last 2 years my technique has improved in all my lifts, my mobility has increased, my stamina has improved, and I have learned things I had never even considered trying before. The community at Town is what really tops it off though. Everyone is welcoming, supportive, and encouraging and are some of the best people I know. If you are looking for a gym where you can work hard, have fun, learn a lot, and reach your goals, Town Athletics is definitely the place you want to be.

I’ve been a regular at Town for a solid year. The coaches are organized and care about helping us achieve our goals.A good place for novice lifters wanting to get in shape for the first time or experienced athletes wanting a good community and detailed coaching.In the midst of COVID and all the regulations put on small businesses I appreciate the effort and precautions the staff is taking to keep the gym clean and welcoming.

I started at Town Athletics in November of 2019 after I had my 3rd kid. I was tired of having my baby β€œfluff” and no energy, and wanted to actually do something about it. I wanted my old body back!! I grew up playing club soccer and just needed someone to tell me what to do to kick my butt into gear. Thank you to all the coaches at Town Athletics for doing this! I started out weighing 154 in January and now weigh 134 in May. It’s not even about the weight to me- it’s about the feeling I have knowing I’m healthier because of Town. I’ll forever be a member here!!! Town has motived me in more ways than one. Their coaches are top notch and always available for help! I love this place!!I also love the diversity here. It’s not just a gym full of β€œgym rats” ... it’s full of everyone all ages and walks of life. For sure this place is somewhere YOU want to work out at!

I have been going to Town for two years now . The coaches help you with your lifts and getting the techniques correct. They work with you to make the lifts right for you. I have migraines and some exercises are just not workable with them, they have helped me adapt my lifts. They have built a community at Town Athletics and it is a great place to workout!

Started going to Town about a year and a half ago after hearing great things from coworkers and my husband, wanted to check it out after having my second kid. Was a little hesitant as I had never done CrossFit, but the on-ramp/intro class with Coach Kristi was a great introduction and I felt comfortable going into the classes. I love that everything can be scaled to you, and there is opportunity to grow in strength and ability. The coaches are also fantastic. It is a great little community, family friendly, and you can really make of it what you want, they really are there to help you succeed. We absolutely lucked out having Town in our neighborhood!Even during these crazy times of COVID, they quickly adapted and moved online to continue to offer programs for all levels, and even more. It really is a great place!

This place is where it’s at if you’re in Tacoma. The quality in coaching, atmosphere, programming, community is all there. I only dropped in when in town over several months. This would be my gym if I lived nearby. They know what they’re doing whether you’re brand new or a seasoned athlete of any age.

I started going here relatively recently in Jan 2020 with absolutely no CrossFit experience. Through the on-ramp program, I got one on one instruction on form and common exercises, and I felt really comfortable starting my first β€œregular” class. I love how attentive the coaches are and how focused they are on making sure form is good and people are safe. I also really appreciate their COVID-19 response: ever since the state shut down, the coaches have tirelessly provided daily workouts, individualized attention, and helpful information spanning fitness, nutrition, and overall health. I can’t wait to go back!

Im a newer member of Town, but have nothing but good experiences so far. The coaches are amazing, and everyone of the members Ive encountered are as well. Was getting in the grove of working out again, and COVID struck. The people at Town adapted and found a way to take care of their members even with the gym being closed. I can tell that they are 100% committed to my success, even in these trying times.

Top of the line coaches, dedicated to their craft and very knowledgeable. Clean and organized gym. Great people, great community, and growing! Was a complete game changer when I started coming here.Just over 4 years since I first joined In these 4+ years I continue to be amazed by the continued development in the gym, the programming, and especially in myself. Im constantly challenged and pushed out of my bubble and I find myself looking forward to the next personal victory which always seems to be right around the corner. Some days you hit it, somedays you dont but the support is always there. Regardless of what level you are at there is never judgement but constant cheering with professional coaching. Never in my life did I view myself as someone who could do even half of the things I find myself doing now. I rolled my eyes, when I first joined, at the idea of even attempting to do muscle ups, handstand push-ups, and various other movements at heavy weight. Little did I know it was a right around the corner. The people here.... they are what keep you coming back everyday. They are part of your family.

Town Athletics is more than a gym. It is an amazing place to find community and discover your best self. The Coaches are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging. The programming is challenging and consistent and produces results.I had recently turned forty and had been going to a big box fitness center for a few years and had gotten complacent with my fitness. I did the same few things day after day and my results leveled off. I had heard about CrossFit and liked the idea of challenging myself with more diverse work outs. I tried a few of the other gyms in the area and quickly discovered the Town was different and special. The coaching, programming, and welcoming community was well beyond anything I had experienced. I did not have much weightlifting experience when I started. The Coaches are very knowledgeable and worked closely with me to develop proper and safe fundamentals. I started to see results quickly. I became stronger and more fit than I had ever been before. My fitness made me a more attentive husband and father, and more creative and productive at work. I have also made many good friends at Town. The members are very welcoming and encouraging. It felt like I was part of a team right away.I would strongly recommend Town Athletics to anyone that wants to improve their fitness. The outstanding coaching and welcoming members make this the best CrossFit gym in town!

I have been a member for almost two years and it is has been a wonderful experience. I came into Crossfit with no previous experience and very out of shape. I didnt even know if I would like Crossfit, but am now in love with it. The coaches are great about meeting you where you at while also pushing you to grow. Crossfit can seem intimidating, but the coaches and the members are so welcoming and supportive that it makes it easy to keep coming back.

I started going to Town over a year and a half ago. Since then, I’ve gained a lot of friendships and am in the best shape of my life.The On Ramp class to start was great. Getting to the learn the movements at a slowed down pace, laid a great foundation of doing movements correctly, and helped build relationships and trust in the coaches.The accountability that you gain when becoming friends with other members has been so helpful too. You’re noticed when you’re missing and you’re not just another number, but people care about you as a person, and about your life.I am by far in the best shape of my life. Town has pushed me mentally and physically further than I thought I could go and I am better off for it.

I have recently moved to Tacoma and was looking to join a CrossFit gym. Town Athletics has become more than a CrossFit gym, everyone was so welcoming and helpful that in a few weeks I felt a sense of belonging to a community and wasn’t feeling like a stranger in a new city, anymore.Coach Kristi has helped me a lot! She’s been very patient with modifying the work outs for me, since I’m recovering from ACL and Meniscus repair surgery. She’s also motivating and encouraging me and is genuinely interested in me to succeed.I love being a part of Town Athletics and if you’re looking for a CrossFit gym with knowledgeable and dedicated coaches, this is the best place to be!

I’ve been with Town for a year and a half now and I’m so happy I walked in the door. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, I just knew I needed some accountability if I was ever going to be healthy again. I found a community of great friends who have encouraged me to stretch my mind and body beyond what I thought possible. The coaching is absolutely incredible and very intentional. They have have helped me realize areas of weaknesses (strength and mobility) and are always giving me individual movements to help me grow. I’m so thankful I joined this gym and have no plans of looking back.

Review β„–25

I came to Town Athletics in June of 2018 looking for something different. I was been introduced to CrossFit a year and a half earlier, but my motivation was waining. I had a friend who was a coach and her Instagram posts about the gym always looked so fun, so I decided to drop in for a class. It was amazing!I thought I had learned quite a bit about Olympic lifting, but I learned so much in my first month at Town. I was doing drills and technique work I’d never done before and the results were instantly noticeable. I’ve always been a little scared of the snatch but it has grown into one of my favorite lifts and I believe this is 100% due to the coaching and technique work.Speaking of the coaching: it is top-notch. All of the coaches are so knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness. They do such a great job teaching each movement so I feel safe and informed. I know that when I’m doing any movement, be it an Olympic lift or a box jump, I’m going to be guided in the mechanics of the movement so I don’t hurt myself and improve.I cannot recommend Town Athletics enough! If you are looking for the place to begin or restart your fitness journey, then look no further! Jump in with both feet, and you’ll be in good hands at Town!

For me personally Town is all about functional fitness. Im a big outdoor enthusiast and do a lot of hiking, climbing and mountaineering. Towns programming gives me the strengths I need in the mountains. It truly is fitness that translates into other disciplines. The programming and coaching is different here than any other box Ive been to, not only does it work but its fun too. They have built a community that is fun to be a part of, I find myself getting there early and staying late just to socialize and root on others.

Review β„–27

I joined Town Athletics in early 2020. I had a friend that attended classes regularly and he encouraged me to join. I was hesitant for a few reasons: was I too far out of shape, I had a negative impression of CrossFit from meeting a lot of CF agro-bros, and membership is spendy on a teacher salary. I went and watched a workout my friend was doing and met a couple of coaches and decided to join. I was wrong about all things. The people that run Town understand how to construct a place that allows people to thrive.It only took 2 sessions to realize what Town CrossFit really was, a dynamic, supportive, inclusive environment where everyone celebrates each others efforts. The workouts are difficult, but they are difficult for everyone and the coaches are excellent at modifying or scaling them so that each individual can engage in the right amount of struggle. At first I was intimidated by some of the members lifting WAY more or doing more reps than me, but I came to realize that nobody cares. The only thing the coaches and members care about is how hard you push yourself. If you walk in the door to push yourself to get stronger, improve your fitness, and be a part of the team, you will be welcomed wholeheartedly.I miss the physical classes and will be back in the gym as soon as COVID allows.

Literally cannot say enough great things about this box. I was a locums PA for a year prior to coming to Tacoma so needless to say I have had my fair share of boxes to workout in. All of them have been great but Town is special. The literal absurd amount of thoughtful programming that is put into our workouts is unparalleled. This isnt a what can we hit this week ie muscle groups working up to olympic lift PRs etc the quarterly cycles, MAP style days that build throughout the month, technique days etc and the overall willingness to see all of their members get better is amazing. The other gym members are all great, fun people who come from all walks of life.Please do not hesitate to come try them out. If youre a first time crossfitter or veteran, there is a movement and class and great group of people waiting for you here.

I came for the friends and stayed for the excellent coaching/programming! Ive been doing crossfit for about 5 years now and feel like Ive found my people!After a couple years of training alone, I was hesitant about joining a group class setting. However, I have been pleasantly surprised everyday since I started. The coaches here go above and beyond. I have personally made drastic improvements in many aspects of this tough sport. Their programming and coaching have allowed overall progression in strength, stamina, and focus.Additionally, these people (coaches and members) have become my some of my closest friends and for that Im grateful! They push/challenge me in the best way possible. They make me want to be better and stronger!If youre curious what all the hype is about, I highly recommend Town Athletics. Youll be received with open arms!

I’ve been a member of town for over 3 years and not only is it a great gym with great coaches, programming, and equipment but the community is amazing! I love the people! They are the best!The coaches are knowledgeable and keep injury prevention as a top priority. In 2018, I had shoulder surgery to fix an old skiing injury and utilized the individual design programming post surgery and was able to get back to regular classes in 9 months and had complete recovery 100%+ a year later! Their programming works! I had gained a bunch of weight after surgery and the programming in addition to my own dedication to meal prepping and calorie tracking helped completely change my body composition! The coaches were great with nutrition tips and suggestions and scaling or substituting movements if needed.They take great care of their equipment and have enough for everyone for each class. During the changes set in place due to COVID, they were generous to loan the equipment so we could continue to stay fit and active. Honestly I don’t know what I would have done without the rower and KB! While being forced to close their doors, they stayed involved with the community. They continued to program workouts every day and a coach was assigned to me and called routinely to check in and provide individual nutrition coaching.With the gym being closed, I have unavoidably lost some muscle mass due to the lower volume of lifting and exercise, but I have still maintained similar body composition and have improved cardio. I attribute this to the continued programming and precise nutrition coaching.I highly recommend Town to anyone looking for not only a highly functioning gym, but a solid community full of fun people!

I started at Town Athletics in March 16 after spending another winter eating and making excuses. I had no real goal except to get fit. Adam, Austin, and Michael used my athletic past to push me and help me understand and execute complex movements. After a lot of hard work and support, I was able to participate in an olympic lifting competition in October. That is something I never thought I would be able to do! Their knowledge and personalities make this a great place to work out. Theyve been able to build a community in Tacoma, and Im excited to be a part of it. If youre looking for a gym to work hard, have fun, and be a part of something special, this is the place for you!

I had checked out some other Crossfit gyms in the area, and when I walked into Town, I knew it was where I would stay. Austin, Adam, and Michael have been encouraging, knowledgeable, and helpful since my very first day when I could barely step up on a box. No matter your fitness level, the community here makes you feel welcome and pushes you to keep getting better. The coaching staff will support you, working with any previous injuries to ensure you are safely getting a great workout. Thank you Town for the community you are growing in our city!

There isn’t much that I can say about town athletics that hasn’t already been said. But let me reiterate, this is a world class gym! The equipment is top notch, the coaches are phenomenal, and the programming is superlative! If you’re looking for results look no further. I joined town athletics in August 2018 weighing a whopping 334lbs, today I’m down 108lbs, I’ve dropped 3x’s off my shirt size, and dropped my BMI from 38.8 to 28.3! And it’s only been SIX MONTHS! I’m stronger and healthier than I have ever been and there is nowhere to go but up. Come in, and keep coming, stay constant, and whatever you personal goals may be, you WILL reach them. This is a community that won’t let you fail.

I started it with my husband about 3 months ago and had the mindset I probably wont be sticking with it because I was happy with the place I worked out before.But immediately I found the coaches, every person I met who works out there and those darn butt kicking workouts make it hard not to fall in love with. The coaches especially are the most down to earth people I have ever met. Every question, concern or tweak I feel in my body I ask about are handled with the utmost care and compassion. All of my stereotypes of what I though crossfit was has completely gone out of the window. I now know it is for anyone and everyone who wants to be a better version of themselves physically and emotionally.

I have been cross fitting for about 1.5yr, but am new to the Tacoma area. After trying a handful of surrounding gyms and feeling a bit out of place, I decided to give Town a try. It’s about a 30 minute drive from where I live, which at face value sounds a bit far when there is a CF gym literally 3 minutes from my apt. But I make the drive 6 days a week to receive the coaching and programming specifically through Town. These guys really know their stuff and impart their wisdom day in and day out. Personally, I’ve made several improvements in all of my lifts and skill work even in the short time I’ve been attending and can’t wait to get started every day. They have done a beautiful job of fostering a community that incorporates athletes of all levels, which, in my opinion, is the utmost privilege of attending a cross fit gym. Whether you are an established lifter looking to take your training to the next level or someone looking to try a new type of training, rest assured that each coaches severe attention to detail with every member will help launch you toward those goals you’ve been aiming towards.

Town Athletics is top notch! These guys are professional and very knowledgeable about how to make you a more invincible human being. These guys seem to have a passion for fitness and helping people achieve their fitness goals. The level of coaching skills go way beyond a weekend certification. Ive been doing CrossFit for a few years now, and these guys have improved my performance significantly with just a month in their gym. My girlfriend (yoga enthusiast) just started her year in CrossFit and is feeling and seeing improvements as well. Shes totally hooked! The gym is growing with new members, and everyone is so cool! We already have a great community. Its hard to leave after the hour workout. I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants a lot of bang for your buck. We feel like were getting a super great deal for the level of coaching and knowledge that these three guys bring to the table. Were basically getting a personal trainer (who actually knows what theyre doing). The layout of the gym is well organized and has a very efficient use of space.

I should’ve written this review a long time ago, these guys have earned it. So, If you’ve read some of the other reviews in this gym, you already know what a great place it is! The well thought out programming, welcoming community, attentive, knowledgable and friendly coaches, excellent equipment, etc.My time at town was awesome! I went to town for 9 months, from opening until I moved away in September (9 months). In that time my lifts improved, while my times went down and had an amazing time doing it. You will improve if you go to town athletics and listen to the advice of your coaches. More importantly these guys have found the perfect mix of community, hard work(pain), fun, and being welcome, to make it so anyone willing can be successful. I highly recommend town athletics to anyone who is in the area from being brand new to a seasoned veteran. You’ll see the gainz.Thanks for everything Adam, Austin and Michael!!

Review β„–43

This was a good box to work out at for a short time. The coaching was pretty attentive, and I think that was due to the smallness of the space. The biggest downfall was that the drop-ins cost each and every time. I could understand where they are coming from, considering the size of the location. However, 20-25$ adds up after a very short time and if someone already pays for CrossFit elsewhere like I do, that gets a bit taxing on the wallet. I only went a couple times due to this fact on my 7 day vacation. The fee one time at 25 dollars probably would have sufficed considering I only went there twice. Oh well.

Ive been going to Town Athletics for several months now. There is always a positive atmosphere with a huge sense of community. Their programs produce results, results I can both see and feel. I was nervous starting at a CrossFit gym, however, they will taylor the movement or weight to suit your abilities. The focus is on proper technique and mobility, knowing that the strength will come. If I could give them an extra star I would.They have their own parking lot, which is rarely found on 6th Ave, so a convenient location with parking is nice.

This is an amazing CrossFit Gym, and I cannot recommend it or the coaches enough. Im a lifelong athlete whos always been turned off by the bad CF stereotypes, but these guys break every one of them and pull out the best of CF in detailed programming and planning. They focus on YOU, your form, and your health, not the numbers youre putting up. If youre at all curious about the CrossFit craze, try their OnRamp Program and you wont regret it. They offer so many different ways to be a member, so even if your life and schedule is crazy, options like punch cards still make it easy. And the community is real, from folks learning their way around a gym to committed athletes training for the Games, everyone will encourage you and make you feel at home. I highly recommend Town to all my friends and coworkers, new and experienced athletes alike.

Town is hands down the best crossfit box in the area. I have been doing crossfit for about 6 years and been to dozens of boxes across the country. The programming, coaching, and atmosphere make one hell of a fitness cocktail. Whether you like working out with the early morning crew (you savages!), sneak in and out through the mid day sessions (ninjas!), or come kick it during the Happy Hour Wods (name not endorsed by and perhaps more like rejected by Town Athletics!) you will be welcomed and cheered on. All joking aside the community here makes this the best hour of the day.

I moved to the Tacoma area about 7 months ago and checked out all of the local CrossFit boxes. As someone who has been doing CrossFit for almost 5 years I am particular about what I want out of my gym. In the end of my assessment, Towns programming and coaches out-shined all the other gyms in the area. Ive made some vast improvements and several PRs since joining this gym and continue to be challenged daily. This place has a great mix of brand new and seasoned athletes. Whatever your level, the coaches will find an appropriate and safe progression for you. They offer a variety of class times and lots of open gym time as well. Joining this box was one of the best decisions Ive made.

I recently moved to the area from Brooklyn and was looking for a crossfit gym to join. In my experience, the other gyms I was a member at were good but not great and I always felt like it was just about the money for the coaches. I also was not thrilled with the programming or facilities of my last two boxes.That is why Im stoked to have found Town. From the first email I sent them asking about pricing, I felt cared for. Ive been a member for two months now and I can say I seriously look forward to class and am bummed when I cant make it in. The coaches are incredible and really push you, making sure to give you the individual attention you need even in a class of 12. The programming is TOUGH and by that I man you will get your ass whooped in the best way possible (ayy). You will see results for sure. But best of all is the community- I moved here without knowing anyone and its nice to know there are some wonderful people at the gym who genuinely care.So, thank you Town for helping me remember why I wanted to join crossfit in the first place. You guys rock.

I started at Town about 3 months after having my first baby. I was self-conscious and in terrible shape. I had never tried Crossfit before, but my husband kept talking about everyone at Town, so I decided to give it a try. That was about 6 months ago, and I haven’t looked back! Now I am lifting more; I feel great; and I look forward to the work-out every day. The coaches and members at Town are like an extended family and I can’t imagine getting through some of the tough WODs without their support!

I recently moved to Tacoma and was in the hunt for a new box to join having been in Crossfit for the past few years. After trying a few spots in the area, I have happily landed at Town Athletics. Not only do they provide the family type atmosphere that I was missing from my old box, but the programming and coaching have been excellent. The coaches actually coach in class as opposed to surf the internet or gossiping with non-class members as I have witnessed at other gyms in the area. I have had noticeable improvements in my technique which have translated to greater overall strength and conditioning. I’m excited to continue my fitness journey with Town and encourage anyone interested in establishing and improving their fitness goals to give Town Athletics a shot.

I am down 2 pants sizes and my lifts have improved considerable both in form and overall weight.If youre looking for a friendly and knowledgeable Official Crossfit Affiliate to continue your Crossfit journey, or just thinking about trying that Crossfit thing and may be scared, give Town your first stop.

Let me start off by saying Im not a very athletic person but I’ve always been intrigued by Crossfit as a way to get fitness into my routine. I’ve jumped around to several Crossfit gyms over the last couple of years and always ended up quitting over frustrations of not getting the coaching I needed to improve at this sport or simply not fitting in because I wasn’t a top athlete. My husband convinced me to try Town Athletics when it first opened and I’m so glad I gave Crossfit one last chance! The coaching at Town is hands down the best I’ve ever encountered…the coaches are patient, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping their members being the best versions of themselves. I also can’t say enough good things about the community hereβ€”it truly is a community of folks who are friendly and encouraging! Coming to the gym is always the highlight of my day!

Im a newbie to crossfit but Ive been a gym rat since high school. As a doctor who specializes in pain management Ive seen my fare share of crossfit mishaps and was skeptical yet very curious about what happens in a crossfit gym. I decided to give Town a try and am SO glad that I did! The three trainers are top notch and their mission is to help you get stronger without getting hurt. They are quick to correct poor form and really work with you to make sure that you are not doing anything that you are not ready for nor have the mobility for as well. The guys are also well versed in how to increase your mobility, teaching you how to take care of your muscles to prevent injury and speed up post workout recovery. Not only are these three guys on top of your form they know what it means to create a community within a gym. I moved to Tacoma 2 years ago and was working out in my basement as I couldnt find a gym that fit my expectations. Town has exceeded my expectations, Im now stronger than I ever have been before and I have a supportive group of fellow crossfitters who I cant wait to see every day. If you are looking for a gym that yields results with friendly supportive members and staff check out Town Athletics!

Town Athletics is amazing! It is truly an incredible place and one I am happy to have found.I’m not an athletic person and I never played sports in high school or college. I was a runner…sometimes. I’ve always been naturally thin and haven’t paid a lot of attention to my diet or exercise. As 40 was quickly approaching and my waistline was seemingly expanding, I knew I had to do something. I know the chain gyms are not for me since I’ve had a membership to one for a year and only went once. When the motivation finally outweighed the laziness and apprehension of joining a Crossfit gym I found Town Athletics.In my mind, when I first started, my perception of working out at Town was going to be photoshopped bodies, egos filling the room, and people judging because I couldn’t do a pull-up. While some of the photoshopped bodies are there, everything I had in my head or the idea of what it would be like, was wrong. There is a mix of skill level and everyone is supportive and nonjudgmental. I work out next to someone that is a pro while I am floundering around like Bambi on ice…and it’s ok. It is a place where I go in there and give 100% and it is ok that my 100% is not the same as the person next to me. It is a place of warm, friendly, fun, and helpful people.This environment is in large part to the three coaches that foster this type of atmosphere. They are patient and informative. They push and correct but never make you feel like you are a failure or unsafe. They stress form and technique and I feel like they would rather have me get that down before I add a bunch of weight. There are modifications for everything that happens in the gym and while they push you to be your best they are also mindful enough to keep you safe. They are just good people.I encourage anyone, and I do mean anyone, to check this place out. You will not regret it.
