The Training Pit

Looking for a gym in the Tacoma area ~ The Training Pit is it! The facility is clean and filled with amazing equipment and friendly members. This warm and welcoming gym will inspire you to be your best and help set goals that are achievable. In addition to monthly membership, the owners Seth & Vanessa, both highly qualified and expereinced offer one on one training, bodybuilding, posing, nutrition, strength training, rehab and sports training. I have seen them do it all with inpressive results.I couldn't live without my work out time at the Training Pit and am so appreciative to Seth & Vanessa for cultivating a gym that inspires all and is kindhearted, fun and freindly.

This gym and these people are second to none! The facility is clean and secure. They have every piece of equipment you could ever ask for and the people are amazing. Seth and Vanessa are the most knowledgeable professionals and coaches. From workouts to posing to nutrition, I could not have asked for a better team. They are the best of the best. I will be with them forever. This place changed my life.

Been going here for a few years! They may look like a small gym but honestly it’s way better then those cookie cutter gyms. They are a team and you get two trainers for the price of one, fitness and nutrition. I’ve been with a handful of trainers and they are by far the best I’ve had.

These guys are amazing I've been dealing with hip knee and shoulder pain for years. They assessed my movements and made a workout specifically to strengthen my weaknesses and injuries. I'm the strongest I've ever been in my life with the least pain I've had in years. They are so friendly and professional a pleasure to work with.

I'm so grateful for Seth and Vanessa! They were so knowledgeable with IBS/ digestive issues and really helped set me up for success each week. I enjoyed our weekly check ins & support! Thank you for navigating through this journey with me. I highly recommend them!

Vanessa and Seth are the real deal! I have had numerous "trainers", in the past but none can compare to the knowledge, and professionalism of Vanessa and Seth! I suffered from a shoulder injury that left me unable to work in my job as a Dental Hygienist. I was told by several physicians my career was over. In 2 months Seth had me back working and feeling fabulous!!It also is a bonus that they both look so good;)

I first started here when I moved to Tacoma in November. The Training Pit markets itself as a 24 hour private gym with a focus on bodybuilding and nutritional programming. I hired Seth (co-owner with his wife Vanessa) to train me and help correct some muscular imbalances I had due to structural bone issues in my right foot. Seth helped me resolve my imbalances through corrective exercises and stretching. I am now back to working out without fear of re injury thanks to these guys knowledge and expertise. Couldn’t be more grateful that I’m able to be apart of the best gym in Tacoma and surrounding areas!

10/10 recommend!! I was recommended to use Seth and Vanessa for my posing and prep due their stellar reputation in the area. I immediately was impressed by their depth of knowledge, not just in bodybuilding but in overall health. In the hours spent with them, I still feel like I haven’t even scratched the surface to know what they know. They are quick to get back with feedback after checkins and also when I have questions in general. If you need guidance in any area of health and fitness, this is the duo that you want to lean on! You won’t be disappointed, they will take you to that next level!

I'm so happy I found The Training Pit! Seth and Vanessa are both awesome and extremely knowledgeable trainers. They actually take time to get to know you and your fitness goals and structure your fitness plan based on that. I'm super excited to see how they can transform my physique! I HIGHLY recommend The Training Pit!

I’ve worked with Seth & Vanessa for about a year now on my nutrition and training. It has been absolutely amazing and they’ve taken my health to all new levels. After struggling with a thyroid disease for the last 12+ years, weigh gain and other dietary issues were impossible to get around. That is until they set my nutrition up to not only help me get more fit, but also adapt to the issues that my body naturally has with my autoimmune condition. Seth takes the time to educate me on certain things that I truly couldn’t learn anywhere else and his attention to detail when structuring my plans gives me comfortability to execute without burnout. I’m so grateful for the love and support they have given me and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to get their nutrition & life on track.
