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 have been a member here 3 years and this is the best club I have ever been in. The staff and even the members are always friendly, helpful and motivational.

This is probably the best gym I’ve ever been to! From day one everything was super easy to set up- Coach Ash was very welcoming and helpful with showing me around and getting me started.The classes are easy to follow and all the coaches are amazing at making sure you’re not left behind and know exactly what you’re doing.I never know what I’m doing at the gym, typically I only ran on the treadmill— weightlifting and strength training is new territory, but these guys make it super easy and fun! (Easy to understand, don’t worry you’ll still be sore afterwards 😂)And the community in general is so supportive and nice!If you’re looking for a more structured and fun way to work out and make friends- this gym is it!!

If you are looking for a gym that incorporates fitness, instruction, with community and comradery; you will find it at University Place CrossFit! The owners John and Ash are present, friendly, helpful, and operate a superb gym that is clean with the finest equipment and top-notch coaches! Athletes are connected and competitive with one's own personal best. Athletes encourage and help each other through encouragement and treat work. I grew as an athlete and I was accepted and encouraged as a person. I hope you give them a try through their free session. Best to you in all your health and fitness goals! Linda P.

We have been doing CrossFit at UPCF for last 6 months and can’t love this place more. Friendliest people, amazing staff and highly recommended. We had to stop our sessions few times in between but the gym was very accommodating without any hassle. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and inclusive. Personally being a newbie in strength training, I am surprised by the amount of progress I have made. This gym has been the best decision for me and my husband!

Been attending for a few weeks so far and I enjoy the environment and staff. They have various options for membership and I have the family membership. It was the better deal for the family. The kids are able to use the RevUp program and we are able to enjoy the CrossFit classes and use the open gym.Trying to find a community I’m glad I finally had the courage to check out the place. It’s nice they have a free drop in class where there is no pressure and they give you a tour of the place.Immediately after joining, they offered free friends and family where a friend was able to enjoy what the gym has to offer.This is definitely one of the few gyms where you are not only joining for the gym but the community. Looking forward to growing into this community.

I have exercised my entire life, and have tried most of the gyms in the area, but UPCF is the best!But why?1.The family atmosphere that starts with the owners, John and Ashley.2. The staff who are knowledgeable, caring, and encouraging. During our workout they stay on alert for our safety and help us with our form. They are never judgmental, and you can go at your own pace.3. It works! I belong to Club 55, the class for "more mature" members, and I'm in better shape than I was 20 years ago. The focus of strength, flexibility and balance is perfect. And these things are important to a long happy life.4. The rates are reasonable and the scheduling of classes (if that's what you sign up for) is easy on the app. You can also log your workout results.5. There are more resources available that I haven't tried, so look on the website for all the other offerings.6. The members are family! Through Club 55, I have gained a wonderful group of friends who see each other through times of rejoicing and hard times as well. We love each other so much we get together socially outside of the gym!The only challenge I see for UPFC is needing more space, they are growing so wonderfully!Thank you, John & Ashley, for providing such an awesome environment that has helped me in so many ways.
