TFW Bainbridge Island

Fantastic experience: I was having a lot of difficulty getting into an exercise routine after the pandemic. Peloton never really did it for me. I realized that the thing I was missing was other people, so I went on the search for a gym or program to join. I stumbled across TFW. I was a bit nervous about the name and worried that it was actually CrossFit (it isn’t!), but I liked what I read about the supportive atmosphere and I have found that to be true. I started out never having done any formal strength or resistance training, so it has been a steep learning curve, but Travis and everyone I’ve worked with have been very patient with me. It has been easy for me to be consistent with my training in this environment because I know that I will always see someone I know when I walk in the door. Everyone is allowed to go at their own pace, which is really helpful, but it is also inspiring to watch others push themselves and it has helped me push myself as well. I’m amazed at how far I’ve come in the past 3 months and know that I wouldn’t be anywhere close to this if I was trying to learn to strength train at home by myself. I also would not be doing it correctly! Honestly, I have my fair share of social anxiety, but I have felt at home since the first day. I highly recommend giving TFW a try.

Fantastic experience: I started with TFW in May after realizing I had accumulated 40 extra pounds through Covid. With my daughter getting married in october 2024 i decide to make a change. I didn't like the gym because there was little guidance. TFW and Travis in particular really help me approach exercise and strength training correctly, always focusing on form, always encouraging us and providing suggestions and assistance. I was very fit until menopause and Covid made everything topsy-turvy. Now I make time for myself, I have much better focus, I have more energy and clarity and I can already see improvement in what I can accomplish. Anyone thinking of starting a GREAT workout habit should check out Travis and TFW! Now, i want to know how to get the TFW-Bainbridge Island shirts so i can be a walking billboard!

Fantastic experience: I started TFW as someone with a fairly active lifestyle, but without consistency and motivation. Therefore, my overall health (both physically and mentally) was declining. Through a friend's referral, I found my 'fitness fam' - TFW! Within a few short weeks of attending 3x/wk, my outlook in self-care and motivation to improve my progress has been a huge impact! The coaching tips are amazing and I've made significant improvements in strength and flexibility to apply in every-day activities. I always look forward to the next session! TFW is the gold-standard in genuinely caring for its members' health and well-being to last a life-time. I strongly encourage anyone 'on the fence' in joining TFW to at least give it a try. It could likely be the perfect fit for you too! I can't recommend them enough! Thank you Travis!! :)

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend TFW to anyone looking to make a positive change in their physical health and mental well being. I have attended the TFW for almost a year now and I have achieved significant improvements in muscle strength and overall health. The strength and agility exercises at the gym have helped alleviate joint pain in my body, especially my knee pain. I enjoy the structure of classes with the exercises and training changing every month. I also enjoy the comradeship of working out with other people who have the same goals of improving their physical and mental health. You don't compete with others at the gym, you just work to improve yourself. Other people at the gym are very supportive and it helps motivate me to go to the classes and achieve my own personal goals. Travis is a great coach and mentor and works with each person to help them reach their goals. I definitely recommend TFW to anyone who want to make a positive change in their life, mentally and physically, while building community at the same time.

Fantastic experience: Perfect environment and highly professional guidance. Lots of individual attention.

Fantastic experience: Travis and the TFW team are fantastic and the TFW training is AWESOME! I’ve been training with Travis, his team and the TFW system for close to six years now and I feel as strong and vibrant as I ever have. That’s saying something as I approach my 60th birthday. Working with Travis and the other supportive TFW community members has allowed me to continue pursuing my passions mt biking, hiking, backpacking and backcountry skiing at a very high level. Joining and becoming a member is the best investment I have made for myself.

Fantastic experience: I am so thankful I found TFW. Travis approaches every training session positively and makes you not feel overwhelmed or intimated. He creates an environment that is welcoming to all ages and fitness levels. I wish I would have started at TFW earlier. I highly encourage you to join no matter what fitness level or goals you have - Travis is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: TFW is great place to exercise, learning proper technique is the key and Travis is the best.

Fantastic experience: Travis & Sonnie are amazing coaches and the TFW work out program and community is amazing!

Fantastic experience: There’s no place like TFW Bainbridge! For three years Training For Warriors was my sanctuary, my safe haven, the place I built my schedule around. I love having a place that I can go to and everything is figured out for me. I didn’t have to plan a workout, recall what I did the days before or worry if I was working every muscle in my body correctly. Head trainer Travis had it all taken care of. I had been to several different gyms in several states and even after one year no one knew my name, but at TFW everyone you are in class with knows your name by the end of the day. The motivational stories that are told at the beginning of each class also set this dojo apart from the rest. Not only did I become stronger, more agile, and slimmer; I became part of the TFW familia.

Fantastic experience: I love the coaching, the workouts, and the camaraderie that I find at TFW. My strength has improved and I always leave the workout feeling better both physically and mentally!

Fantastic experience: I joined TFW Bainbridge a little over a year ago. My partner had been a member for 3 years at that time and I was impressed with her stories about the high quality of the coaching and the friendly group of people she worked out with three to four days a week. It sounded like a special program and she had made great headway in strength and overall fitness. I'm in my early sixties and have been an athlete and multi-discipline adventurer for my entire life. My fitness level was high when I started with TFW, but I needed to increase overall strength and work on core stability to support my diverse expectations. Mountaineering, backcountry skiing, resort skiing, backpacking, sea kayaking, mountain biking and bicycle touring are all examples of activities that can be punishing on the older body - for different reasons. In each of these I've experienced noticeable reductions in post-activity pain (steep trail and off-trail descents), increases in strength (lifting boats and heavy packs), reduced back strain (long days on the bike and in the kayak) and shorter early-season tuning-up time (better first days of ski season). Another important TFW-induced positive change has come in the form of injury avoidance. The increase in strength has, without a doubt, made me better equipped to deal with overuse challenges, the everyday twists and bumps as well as the occasional crashes that might otherwise cause serious injury. The cost of TFW is some of the very best money I spend in any given month, right up there with fresh, organic food! To someone considering a gym membership I simply cannot recommend TFW Bainbridge highly enough, whatever a person's level of fitness. Camaraderie, fun and health improvements await!

Fantastic experience: Here are my 8 reasons why this program is working for me ( pl forgive the length): 1 A very good program with a doable 4 days a week commitment, it's well-thought-out and there is enough variety each week and larger variation each month so we dont get too used to a set of exercises or get bored 2 Active, knowledgeable and supportive coaching as you learn the form and peers who are doing the same training to emulate/support 3 Start and progress from where you are and grow approach sustains 4 Metrics based on weight , lean muscle and fat to progress against is solid and motivating 5 Good balance between upper mid and lower body , cardio and weight, with choices for easier and harder versions of a given training provided 6 Able to see real results in strength, agility and endurance that carry forward to all walks for my life in a relatively short period 7 Ease of scheduling, committing and changing times between early morn or evening sessions besides time goes fast when in each session 8 Finally and very importantly, the BI TFW staff and fellow warriors brings our ultra welcoming and supportive BI culture which makes me want to go back each week! These comments are NOT prompted and heartfelt given my relatively short but fully immersed experience.

Fantastic experience: TFW has a fantastic gym, community, and trainers. The TFW community was very accepting of me even though I was 17. And after my first month of training with Travis as my coach, I have gotten back into shape, and I feel better than ever.

Fantastic experience: Great people - Great Program - Great Progress Working out has always been an important part of my life. But after baby 3 and a full life, I didn't think I'd be able to find a place or habit that I liked (and one that would become part of my life on a regular basis). I'm so glad I found TFW. From the initial evaluation with Travis, to the incredible group of people I get to spend an hour with many days a week, I can't imagine what the last 2 years would have been like without TFW. Yesterday I was training with a friend I hadn't partnered with in at least a year. He said to me, "it looks like your strength hasn't missed a beat" - incredible to hear after the last few, very weird years. I attribute my continued strength to TFW. I look forward to going each time (even when we have a monthly challenge that pushes me to my limits!).

Fantastic experience: I am grateful for my TFW family. This is such a supportive community of good people! Never have I had coaches pay such close attention to my form to ensure my workouts are effective and safe - until I joined TFW. Thank you Travis, Sonny and everyone at TFW!

Fantastic experience: The Bainbridge TFW is not only extremely welcoming but is also extremely profesional. The coaching is the absolute best whether you are looking to loose weight, get in shape for your sport or for an event or you just want to stay strong and flexible. It is a very non intimidating place where all the members are truly supportive of each other. Everyone is rooting for everyone and everyone is achieving results.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I are thrilled to have become part of the Training For Warriors family! Travis and Sonnie are excellent coaches, creating fun and challenging workouts, sharing lifestyle ideas and insights and providing inspiration. I found the weight lifting machines in gyms boring, uncomfortable, intimidating and sometimes confusing because I wasn’t sure if I was using them correctly. With the TFW workouts we just show up and are coached in a variety of strength training and cardio enhancing exercises for our entire bodies. As a middle aged female and knowing how important weight-bearing exercise is to aging well, I am grateful to have found this beneficial group studio which promotes my well-being in a variety of ways including: increasing my muscle mass and bone density, maintaining a healthy weight, nurturing my mental health, goal setting, heart health, agility, balance and flexibility. I appreciate that good form is taught, emphasized and checked often to avoid injury and get the most out of my time spent. The group atmosphere is supportive and lighthearted which helps fuel me with motivation and camaraderie! We highly recommend you give it a try. It is money and time well spent because our health is an element that is so critical to enjoying a full and pleasurable life! Thank you, Travis and TFW family!

Fantastic experience: I've always loved working out and have been lucky to already have established fitness routines in my life. Yet I wasn't making the progress I wanted or thought I should be. TFW took it to the next level, while not only improving my fitness level (something I couldn't seem to do on my own) but also incorporating things such as core strength, mobility, flexibility (other things I didn't do much on my own), and quarterly fitness challenges that help keep me motivated and are clear indicators of my progress. The workouts are challenging while allowing you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you and not intimidating. TFW is a staple in my week and I feel lucky to have such a supportive gym to go to filled with constant encouragement, inspirational messages, and great workouts to take me through each week!

Fantastic experience: TFW Bainbridge Island and Travis did something that I thought was impossible ... they made me like working out. This program met me where I was physically and over my time there has helped me grow stronger and get in better and better shape. It is a great program and gym and highly suggest it for anyone.

Fantastic experience: TFW is a smaller gym that really focuses on each individual being the best that they can be. TFW is like a family - everyone cares for each other and supports one another's accomplishments. Even the small improvements are part of the celebration. TFW realizes exercise is not just about physical wellness but also about mental wellness - approaching health from a holistic perspective. And I really appreciate Travis's attention to detail - he makes sure that we use the proper techniques to not only make us stronger but also prevent injury. This is definitely the best gym experience I have every had. I highly recommend TFW.

Fantastic experience: The facility at TFW is clean and professional and well equipped. The communications systems are excellent and easy to engage with. But most importantly, the coaching is top notch. Travis in particular is knowledgable and caring and structures a highly personal program for each individual.

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been one to embrace “the gym” experience so I was hesitant when I gave TFW Bainbridge a go more than three years ago. I look forward to each session and actually wish I could go more often. Travis has created a place to build strength that is about the body, but also about the heart and mind. We work as a team and laugh and inspire each other to be healthy and strong. I appreciate that the focus of TFW is on helping us do more outside the dojo - to improve our movements, habits, and attitudes in our every day lives. Travis and Sonnie are fantastic coaches who are with us every step of the way. I’m still not into “the gym” experience, but thankfully Travis’s TFW dojo is so much more.

Fantastic experience: I've been part of the TFW familia for 2 years and I cannot say enough positive things about what TFW has done for my health and wellness. Travis is an amazing coach with a keen eye for form and safe approaches to gaining strength.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, good people, and tons of fun!

Fantastic experience: TFW Bainbridge is an awesome place to get physical training. It doesn't matter what shape you are in when you get started. The coaching is phenomenal and the camaraderie is inspiring. After 3 years of being part of it, I still feel I get so much out of each session. Anyone interested in improving their physical condition can benefit from Training For Warriors.

Fantastic experience: Travis is the ultimate personal trainer. He is TOTALLY dedicated to the success of his clients. He has done his homework and it's clear that he's still studying even though he has 20 years experience as a trainer. To be honest, I felt some of the program at TFW was cheesy at first, but I've grown to love it, and it is super clear that what Travis wants is for me to be the very best I can be. Isn't that the definition of a superb coach? I highly recommend this place for anyone wanting a full body workout.
