Fortitude Fitness / CrossFit Untamed

Fantastic experience: I've been a member for a little over a year. I was new to CrossFit and walked in with a bad back 20 years in the making and knees shot from playing tennis for many years. Today I have almost zero back pain and no knee pain. I workout there 2-3 x a week and feel great. All the coaches are super cool and helpful and the vibe is positive and encouraging among gym members. Awesome place and people. 10 star.

Fantastic experience: There's a reason this place has 5 stars - it's the best gym in town! And I don't even live "in town", I drive an hour each way just to come. Its worth it - the coaches push you to do your best and everyone is really encouraging. It's an amazing community of people working towards a common goal of fitness and reaching your personal best.

Positive experience: Elite Level Training Center in the North Vancouver Washington Area I had the pleasure of stopping in for a drop-in WOD at this highly recommended Crossfit Box. I was in the Vancouver area for business and had just finished up a customer visit in the Kalama area. I needed a good workout and wanted to get an early workout in as my body was suffering from a long drive from Albany OR to Kalama WA. I picked the right place as it was not too far off from the highway and they had early classes. I was greeted warmly by the staff and had the Owner/Coach Brittany Sarkela, a Crossfit Warrior/Maiden coaching the WOD that afternoon. This Box has state of the art equipment, and tons of barbells, kettlebells, assault bikes and other necessary Crossfit equipment. This was one tough WOD that day and I trudged my way through it. The Coach was kind enough to invite me to lift after class but I was already curled up in a big sweaty ball on the mats trying to catch my breath, so I politely declined lol. They have a thriving Crossfit community in Vancouver and its places like Crossfit Untamed that make this happen. If you're in the area, I highly recommend you drop into this box. Need more incentive? Not only will the members challenge you to keep up, but there is also a Craft Brewery and food trucks right next door to Crossfit Untamed.

Fantastic experience: Brittany and her staff really care about their Members, and the community in general. She is super responsive to fitness and nutrition advise, even when she knows the person she is talking to is not a member. Great down to earth coaches are everyday people, not over the top fitness freaks. This gym is a good option for someone who hasn't exercised in years, has mobility issues to work around, and those who are competitive athletes. I highly recommend you give them a chance!

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic gym. I have dropped in to countless gyms across the country and I will put this one at the top of the list. Good equipment, great pull-up rig, great people, organized, clean, accessible hours. They were great with my son (he is 11) and myself dropping in and participating in classes. This gym felt a lot like my gym back in San Diego in regards to just being a good group of normal people doing their best to stay fit and have fun while doing it. This is the place to go in Vancouver.
