I absolutely love University Place CrossFit! All the coaches are fantastic, and the community is top-notch. Jon and Ash especially have been incredible. I came in with a goal to deadlift 300 pounds for a charity competition, and with just a month and a half of training, Jon helped me hit 380!Whether you're looking for group fitness classes, personal training, or just a supportive and motivating environment, I can't recommend UPCF enough. It's truly a place where you can push your limits and feel right at home.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Life-Changing. That’s the only way to describe University Place CrossFit.From the moment you walk in, you can feel the difference. This isn’t just a gym — it’s a community, a support system, and a place where people at all fitness levels are welcomed, challenged, and transformed.Ash and Jon Guidoux are the heartbeat of this place. Their professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care for each person who walks through the door go far beyond coaching. They’ve been a huge part of my journey and my family’s not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. They lead with heart, and it shows in every detail, from the way they tailor workouts to individual needs, to how they foster a culture of encouragement, resilience, and positivity.The training is next-level. It’s smart, safe, and effective rooted in years of expertise but delivered in a way that keeps you inspired and hungry for more. I’ve seen results I never thought possible, not just in strength and fitness, but in confidence, discipline, and overall well-being.What really makes this place stand out is the people. The community that Ash and Jon have built is something rare and powerful — a tribe of people who show up for each other, who push one another, and who celebrate every win, big or small.University Place CrossFit has truly become a cornerstone in our lives. It’s more than a gym — it’s a place where lives are changed, including mine. So thankful!

Selfish and destroyed one of the few skating rink left. This alone is reason to not give them your business. They don't care about the community at all.

If you’re looking to push yourself, get in great shape, and be surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed, this is the place!! Over 6 months, I improved my ACFT score by over 30 points—now a nearly perfect score—thanks to University Place CrossFit! The coaching, programming, and overall atmosphere are next-level. What really sets this place apart is the incredibly supportive community. As someone in the military who’s moved around a lot, finding a gym that feels welcoming can be tough, but from day one, I felt right at home here!!

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 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 my spot. Just the best gym, space, people, community and coaches around. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

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!!
