University Place CrossFit

"I should have written this years ago but now that I've moved, I'd be remiss if I did not write how this gym is the absolute best gym in the Pierce County area. It has everything you'd want. CrossFit? check. Weightlifting? check. Open gym? check. Yoga? check. BJJ space? check. 24/7 access? check. In addition to the expectations from a gym, the athlete community alone is worth the membership. Everyone is aware we're all on our own fitness journey, and they cheer you on to succeed in it. No stress, no intimidation just pure motivation to achieve your goal. The staff are also low key cool and knowledgeable wanting you to do your best but also willing to listen to suggestions or concerns you may have about your workout. Go check it out for a day and I'll guarantee you'll love it. I'll give you your money back on that first visit if you don't (Its free.)"

"I’ve been to more than a dozen CF gyms across the US and UPCF remains superior in their coaching, their community, and their facility. They are knowledgeable, welcoming, and committed to making sure you’re having fun while building the best version of yourself."

"A Community of Strength and Giving Joining University Place Crossfit has been an incredible journey for me, especially as a woman in my 60s. It's not just a gym, it's a community that's deeply invested in the health and wellbeing of each member and the larger community. What makes this gym stand out is its dedication to fostering a supportive environment for all ages and fitness levels. This December, the gym celebrates its 6th anniversary, and it's inspiring to see the loyalty of members who have been there since the beginning. It's a testament to the positive and welcoming atmosphere that's been cultivated here. The gym's community spirit shines through initiatives like the UPCF Giving Tree, where members come together to support a local school classroom, making the holiday season brighter for teens in need. It's actions like these that I love the most, creating a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose, extending the impact of the gym beyond its members. As I have been learning Olympic lifting, I love the focus on the strength cycle which focuses each of us on the finer aspects of Olympic lifting. As one of many beginners at university place CrossFit, this caters to a range of abilities and ensures that everyone can participate and improve at their own pace. I'm grateful to be a part of this amazing group and look forward to many more years of fitness and community engagement. Thank you University Place Crossfit."

"I switched to this gym earlier this year because my previous gym was shifting to more of a weightlifting emphasis, and I was interested in continuing to pursue CrossFit type functional training. They have been so accommodating! I do the open gym option and then I get the Mayhem training on top of it. But the classes I've attended are fantastic, with great, friendly coaches, wonderful facilities, and prompt responses to any email I send to them about questions that I have. I love this place! Additionally, they gave me immediate 24/7 access to the gym, whereas my previous gym would not, even after almost 10 years there!"

"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 you're looking for a gym around Tacoma, give this place a shot, you will absolutely not regret it!"
