RCF Tacoma

Kari is always so motivating and happy in the mornings. That is super helpful for a 5a class. It finally clicked yesterday that im the one that she's talking to when she says elbows up.... I will forever hear that in my head from now on. Don't be afraid to call me out! Im not always with it enough in the mornings to know that im doing the movements wrong :)

Melissa was great! She makes sure to call me out if I’m not going low enough on my squats, encouraging me to really hit the right depth so I get the full benefit. When my form starts slipping on deadlifts, she spots it and reminds me where to engage my muscles and how to keep my back safe.

I'm so grateful to have found RCF! The coaches are really attentive and always want you to be safe and have fun. I love that the gym is so diverse and the community is so welcoming.

Today's workout was a push but definitely learned to keep onngoing even when its not easy

Kyle is a good coach!

There’s an energy in this place that hits you the moment you walk in. The atmosphere is genuinely welcoming, and it’s inspiring to see so many people already putting in work before the sun even comes up. It really speaks for itself and there’s a clear reason this gym consistently earns 5-star reviews. The community, the motivation, and the overall environment make it a place you actually want to show up to every day.

Simple just the best every coach at RCF. Simplemente lo mejor, todos los entrenadores son lo mejor que hay pacientes dedicados y con mucha experiencia.

Hi coach! Trying to submit a review for Shelby Cross but her name isn't on the list of coaches. Shelby's Monday class was great, she's consistent with going around and spot checking newer members, and has great energy throughout the workout. The WOD was also quick, challenging and fun.

Killin’ it..

I really appreciate the constant motivation from my coach. Forever thankful.

A haiku for zaddy Kyle counts burpees loud, Tight butt leading lunges strong— Class ends, ass so phat

It was so great!! Positive and encouraging 🤩

Really helped me with my form and making sure I was doing everything right. Great coach.

Coach Loe was an amazing coach and brought a lot of energy to class!

Peter was amazing thank you Peter

Peter is always a great coach! I enjoyed the music playlist during his coaching hours 🙌🏼

I love working out at RCF. The coaching is supportive and encouraging, never overbearing. Workouts are very challenging, in a good way, and I feel like I’m getting a balanced, varied, effective workout every day. Coaches give good advice on form, and are always willing to listen and answer questions. Community is great there too. Lots of very friendly, good people who are there to workout together.

Sarah was very supportive and encouraging throughout the workout. She provided valuable feedback on my form which was helpful for me to feel my best and avoid injuries as I begin my CrossFit journey.

Coach Loe took the time to separate me and teach the basics. Appreciate that greatly especially as someone on day 2 with no CrossFit experience!

Great class and great way to start your day. Kariann is always energetic and enthusiastic.

Shelby. Did an awesome job today. Thanks

Melissa

Great class. Great people. Great coach

Encouraging and constructive. Positive reminders to use my legs and get under the lift.

Loe is the goat

Thanks for encouraging me to go heavier

She was great! I didn’t feel the need for coaching, and it was comforting to know that if I needed it that she was close and available.

Every class makes me better than I was yesterday. Specifically, Loe doesn’t play games and makes hard movements the normal movements. In 8 years of CrossFit, I have made more progress in 4 months at RCF with Loe and his coaching team and membership than I ever thought possible.

Attentive. Gabby makes sure she is there for you. In a full class, you'll feel like it's a 1 on 1 lesson. Gabby and all the coaches are phenomenal. Thank you! This place is a family!

For Coach Melissa! Coach Melissa always keeps an eye on everyone and their technique in the gym. Recently, she notes that I tend to pause before going into my hip extension during my cleans as I like to pull with my arms too quickly (Coach Sarah says the same 😬). Overall, Coach Melissa is always positive and motivates us to do our best!! I miss the 5am class but Coach Melissa has made me feel welcome at the 9:30am class!

Add Melissa here as a coach option!

Great class!

She’s the best!

Coach was absolutely amazing… he’s thorough and very knowledgeable.

She was great! She was energetic for 5 AM (which is what I needed), gave great coaching cues, and encouragement 😊

Shelby made sure my form was correct Vs. heavier weight. She was very informative and was open to questions or clarification

I recommend this gym, it has a group of friendly people and strong workouts!

Had my first day, and it was a good experience! The coach was knowledgeable and supportive, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the workout was the right amount of challenging and fun. Excited to come back!

Knowledgeable, encouraging, energetic. He was great.

Really nice gym, welcoming people, and a challenging but super fun WOD! I'll definitely be back. Thanks Coach!

Shelby is super nice. She is always willing to help me improve my form and to push me when necessary

He pushed us hard! He sighed at my weight selection

Kyle works out during every class he is coaching. If he’s not working out he is on his phone or chatting with members not in class, in the corner. He does not watch the athletes in class and certainly does not coach them. It is extremely concerning watching some of the unsafe movements and techniques during classes. He doesn’t explain movements and this is extremely concerning for newer/more inexperienced members. The warm ups are inadequate and are not tailored to the WOD/strength movements. This is a recipe for injuries. It costs a lot of money to go to CrossFit. People expect to have coaching, proper warm ups, and help throughout classes. And unfortunately when taking his classes they feel unsafe and inattentive, not to mention this feels very unprofessional for a coach.

Sarah

RCF is the absolute best! The coaches genuinely give a damn too!

Kyle’s class was so much fun! He made every moment engaging and enjoyable while teaching valuable skills. Highly recommend attending—it’s a great experience!

So hot.

Class was great! Love the energy and super welcoming vibe!

He was encouraging and positive guiding me through my first day. I was heard, supported and pushed appropriately. Top notch Coach, his attention to detail and knowledge in his coaching is impressive. Explaining and showing all the movements. I am excited for more classes with Kyle coaching.

He’s a really good dude who takes your personal progression serious while making sure your form is good to prevent injury. All around good trainer.

Super helpful with improving my technique. Also constantly pushing me to be better. She’s awesome.!

Great class! ;)

Peter did great made sure the form was perfect and made sure I understood today assignment.

Every time I come to class I feel welcomed and am receiving the community I’m looking for. The class was well structured and coach L came around and gave some excellent feedback to the attendees. There was a wide range of participants and class is simply fun yet extremely challenging.

My second day was painful and awesome and OG Kyle was so great!!

Awesome coach!!!

Loe is a pro. He is great at breaking down the movements for those who need the extra support, and challenging us old timers to push harder when he knows we can. He just needs to make Carter do RTG every time so the rest of us have a chance.

Kyle did great, very good at explaining the movements and was giving tips when needed or asked.

Kyle is always great.

It was my first time back to RCF in quite a while. I had forgotten how warm the coaches are while still kicking butt. Kariann took time with my group during bench press to help us work up to safe but heavy weights. Glad to be back!

Kyle’s always pushing me to get better and helps a lot with perfecting my form!

Haven’t worked out in a long time. The workout was long but I got through it. Kyle was a great coach today.

One of the best coaches. Always explains everything really well, fun to be around and helps motivate you to do better!

Sarah is my favorite!!!!! Kind and always helpful.

Great WOD really fun class today

I’ve been training with Loe for over two years now, and I can confidently say he is the best coach I’ve ever had the chance to work with. The welcoming and supportive atmosphere of our gym is a direct reflection of Loe’s leadership. He fosters an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued, comfortable, and motivated. The strong sense of camaraderie among our members is a testament to the positive environment he creates. Loe’s commitment to personalized coaching helps each of us achieve our individual goals. He celebrates our successes and stands by us through our setbacks. When I first started CrossFit, I didn’t expect to stick around, but now I can’t imagine life without RCF. I feel truly fortunate to be part of this community.

Sarah is awesome!

Melissa is one of my favorite coaches! She is so fun and so helpful when walking through the movements

Carvin has always been a supportive coach and I appreciate his encouragement.

Sarah is a great coach! I appreciate how energetic and friendly she is, even at 5 in the morning.

Loe is always top best when it comes to coaching😌 his warmups I feel, are personalized not just to the individual but for the class. There’s always that one stretch we all need but didn’t think to do. He’s ALWAYS watching, which is what you need and should want from a coach. He really does care about his gym peoples and it shows not only in his coaching but also when he takes the time to talk with you. Loe is great and RCF Tacoma is top notch😊 we get stuff done here!! If you’re wanting to try CrossFit, RCF is the best place to come. You’ll wanna stay😉

I like how she coach , and care about us.

Kariann is the best! I always love having her in class and as a coach. 👏👏👏

Melissa was great

Great job pushing people on the heavy squats.

Appreciate the form/technique tips from Coach Loe, even when I get yelled at to “just stand up!” when practicing the rope climb. Great gym.

Coach Gabby is an awesome instructor. Provided great tips for both the strength session & WOD, and she was very encouraging throughout the workouts, which is helpful when you’re struggling for motivation!

Kari was helpful today during strength and pointed out my posture, which actually truly did help me. Cheerful per usual, especially since she wasn’t supposed to be teaching.

Good class. Thanks for the tips on the snatches. You were totally right.

Awesome class as usual!

Great workout. Everyone was super nice and motivating!

Well, it was Melissa but she wasn’t an option and I had Open Gym. Monday was Gabby, I had Open Gym then too. Both times were great!

Carvin was very patient and took the time to help me with my form. He is great at encouraging everyone to do their best!

Carvin is a great coach! Very attentive, helpful, and encouraging! He holds us accountable in a positive way, and brings an energetic presence to the workouts.

Sarah is great! It's been a while since I've done anything like this so I appreciate the time and patience she spent with me today!

He crushed me in the warm up. It was giving first rcf gym warm up vibes 🥵. Pushed us to keep going during the workout!

We had coach Melissa on this day. I really loved this workout, and she really helped guide me through it as a new recruit. It was a bigger class and she did a wonderful job keeping us all on the move!

Kyle did well and was actively encouraging everyone in the class.
