Gig Harbor Strength and Fitness

Fantastic experience: Great equipment, calm uncrowded facility, helpful staff. 24/7 access is fantastic.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with lots of free weights and equipment! The best value I found in town as well for a 1 week holiday visit.

Fantastic experience: The only place for strength training. Lots of room, plenty of free weights.

Positive experience: I love this place, overall it’s a great gym and the staff can be very helpful. Only two concerns, it’s a very pricey gym and I have no clue where it’s all going because there are some things in there that could really use an update. Be careful as there are also enhancement fees every once in a while. The staff are amazing and they’ve never required masks which was awesome. Would recommend this gym to anyone looking to start or continue lifting.

Fantastic experience: Lifting

Fantastic experience: Best gym in town. It's atmosphere is very friendly. I recommend getting training as the trainers are top notch. They will focus on your goals and get you there safely.

Fantastic experience: Maximum gainage

Positive experience: Well equipped with great atmosphere!

Fantastic experience: I just got home from having a form check of the big 4 barbell movements with Dmitry the owner. I lifted in high school for football and wrestling and have never had form pro taught. I bought Starting Strength (book) sometime last year and watched a lot of YouTube videos to learn how to properly low bar squat, press, bench & deadlift. My form was off in all 4 (some more than others) & Dmitry worked with me through each lift, giving me cues and corrections in a very helpful & kind way. This was my first "Strength" gym experience and I am 39. I'm kicking myself for not getting some form coaching sooner. Well worth the 45 minute drive from Poulsbo where I live.

Fantastic experience: Good solid Americans running a gym right!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym with fantastic ownership. I've been a gym rat for 20 years and have had a number of memberships, certifications, competitions and even been an owner myself. I love what he has done with Gig Harbor Strength and Fitness, highly recommend this gym for anyone serious about being fitter / stronger.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout and get help also very clean.

Positive experience: It used to be gateway fitness, new owners and a new layout. It's good to see some positive changes in terms of mission, cleanliness, and fresh approaches to fitness

Fantastic experience: A good gym that puts emphasis on how to properly build strength.

Fantastic experience: Solid old school gym but with all the equipment you need to lift and train. Was lucky enough to stumble in while out of town and throw some weight around. Much appreciated GHS!

Fantastic experience: The new owner is Awesome. He's been there a while and recently (with last couple years) bought the place. It's not a fancy gym. It's just s gym for locals. It has all you need to be a throw down CrossFit gym but is not CrossFit. Alex is knowledgeable and very happy to give pointers.

Fantastic experience: I trained for about 3 months here and loved every training day. This is by no means a “cookie-cutter” gym that you might get with *anytime fitness* or *ymca*. The owner only buys quality barbells and I have never had to wait for a squat rack. The gym has also never been crowded in the time I trained there. The only downside I can see is the building is rather small.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I've been going here for almost 2 years and have always found Demitri helpful in making sure I'm doing my lifts correctly. I do wish there were more classes but it seems the clientele really enjoy the gym for strength. The people who go here are friendly and willing to lend a hand if you need it. If you haven't lifted weights in a long time (or ever) there is an affordable class to learn how to to lift properly....take it!

Fantastic experience: Nice staff

Fantastic experience: As a professional strength and conditioning coach/sports physical therapist I have trained all over the country. Gig Harbor fitness is by far one of the best. Phil Ruscigno is a stand out at what he does. I wish I could take his knowledge and training ideology (and his club) back with me to Charlotte North Carolina. Our professional athlete population would love his conditioning and training model! You’re very lucky to have him in Gig Harbor!

Fantastic experience: This is the place to be if you want to get strong! The owners and staff are very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful. The gym is newly renovated with a generous supply of power racks, barbells, bumper plates, and iron plates. The place also includes cable machines and cardio machines - pretty much everything you could ask for in a no-nonsense gym.
