Tamalpais CrossFit

On holiday back in the states and wanted a crossfit gym to drop in on a few times while there.Fun, knowledgeable coaches, great space, well appointed with equipment and plenty of class slots to choose from.Couldn't have asked for a better place to feel at home away from home!

This gym is amazing! I am a traveling physical therapist who was looking for a gym to do my own Olympic lifting program and some intermittent CrossFit classes during my 4 month contract in Marin. This place has offered all of that and more. Meshelle, all the coaches and members have been so welcoming during my time here

If you want real sense of community and knowledgeable coaches, Tamalpais Crossfit is where you want to be.I moved to Marin 6 years ago and needed a new gym and a new community to be a part of. I reached out to other gyms around the Marin area and found that all they cared about was money and memberships. I never got a friendly vibe.After checking out 3-4 other Crossfit Gyms, I emailed Meshelle and Michael at Tamalpais Crossfit. I got an immediate response that welcomed me to check out the gym at no cost and with no strings attached. I signed my waiver and joined that day after my first workout. I have now been a member for almost 4 years and can’t imagine ever leaving.The coaches give you immediate feedback and make sure you don’t lift incorrectly. They go over every movement and get you warmed up before jumping right into your workout. You can ask questions about dieting, lifting and the coaches are happy to help you with your goals whatever they may be. Injured? No problem! The coaches can modify workouts for you and your abilities and disabilities.The other members at Tamalpais Crossfit are welcoming and care about getting to know you. I highly recommend Tamalpais crossfit not just for a great workout but for a community that keeps you wanting to come back.Thank you Tam Crossfit!-Brittney

I have been going to classes at TCF for almost 7 years now. It is a great gym with even better coaches. Want to learn how to do Olympic lifts the right way... then this is your place. Want an amazing workout in an hour... then this is your place. All ages, shapes, sizes, and levels of fitness are at this gym. I highly recommend TCF to those that are new to crossfit and those that have doing crossfit for a while.

I’ve been at TCF for almost 2 years and I can’t say enough about how much I love this place. It fosters a community of people all looking to support one another, no matter their athletic ability. The coaches are fantastic, working with everyone to match their needs. I love the variety of the worksouts too. I no longer dread going to the gym, but actually look forward to seeing all the people there and to actually workout.

*UPDATE*I wrote a small review when I first started and now it's time for an updated review after going here for 7 or 8 months.All of the Coaches are phenomenal, extremely supportive and take interest into their students. Everyone is accommodating to whatever your fitness level is. And will guide you through the workouts and help you understand the movements.Meshelle is one of the co owners and she is definitely outgoing, upbeat and positive. Anne, is super nice, a great listener, and will actively push you towards your goals. Michael is the other co owner and has experience with different coaching styles that will pretty much fit everyone. Also outgoing and positive attitude. Clark is passionate about crossfit, and you can always ask for help, even when he isn't coaching. Sean is an excellent coach, helpful and upbeat.The gym itself is clean, and has a raw feel to it which I like. There are no gimmicks, not trying to sell you anything. The other cool part is that Tam Crossfit has it's own weightlifting part, also know as "San Rafael Barbell" so no waiting forever to just lift weighs like other gyms. The equipment is solid, and fully functional. There is plenty of parking at the facility.Another cool aspect of Tamalpais Crossfit is the community. Everyone is super supportive of each other. No one wants to see you fail. They (or we*) want you to succeed. To push yourself and have fun while doing it.And finally, something magical happened when I really got consistent with crossfit, I quit vaping. I am almost two months of non use, and I feel really good. It's like I have a part of my life that I thought I would never have back. I can finally say I am a non smoker. So, if your thinking about going or nervous about doing crossfit. Just go.

I absolutely love this gym! I do Olympic Weightlifting and Meshelle is an amazing coach. She is so dedicated and knowledgeable about OLY. I cannot believe the progress I have made. What really makes Tamalpais Crossfit a special gym is the environment that Meshelle and Michael have created and the people that gravitate to the gym. It is so fun to come to class. People are always laughing, encouraging each other, and pushing themselves to the limits. I was a complete beginner when I joined the gym but I always felt welcome and supported at whatever fitness level I had at that moment. This is going to sound incredibly corny but Tamalpais Crossfit is not only a gym for me, but it's a family that I've found to share my passion for living a healthy lifestyle. I hope you come and check it out :)

I've been working out at Tam Crossfit for about three years now and I absolutely love it. Staff is very professional & knowledgeable and the size of the box is perfect (Not too small like other CF boxes in the area). Workouts and instructions are also well designed; most days I end up on the floor panting but wanting more, yet I've never been hurt, or have been pushed over my limits. I highly recommend this place and I even go there with my wife and kid to simply socialize during certain tournament days or open WOD season.

I started at Tamalpais CrossFit a year and a half ago and can honestly say my life has changed because of it. The coaches are encouraging, supportive, and positive giving me the drive to try my hardest. I have met some of my closest friends at Tamalpais Crossfit and it has become a second home to me. I cannot say enough good things about this gym!

For the longest time I was super hesitant to join any Crossfit gym. I had heard that there was such a high risk of injury, and other members can be super judgmental if you aren't in tip top shape. This just isn't so at Tamalpais Crossfit. All the coaches are incredibly welcoming and approachable to anyone who walks through the door regardless of skill level. Not only that, but the coaches are able to accommodate and provide top notch feedback for all members. I have had such a great experience with everyone here and would recommend to anyone looking to get back into fitness and make a lot of new friends along the way.
