The Training Pit Will Ruin You (In the Best Way Possible) If you’re looking for a cozy, feel-good gym where mediocrity is welcome — keep walking. But if you want to be broken down and rebuilt by two absolute beasts, Coach Seth and Coach Vanessa, then get ready for the ride of a lifetime! Seth is a master at his craft. There aren’t many coaches that can compare to Seth. He pushes hard, and expects nothing but everything you got, which is the same that he puts into his own training as a IFBB Pro competitor.

The Training Pit in Tacoma has serious issues. The customer service is terrible—staff are rude and unhelpful, often ignoring questions or brushing off concerns. The equipment is outdated, with rusty weights and broken machines that haven’t been fixed in months. The gym is consistently dirty, with grimy floors, dusty corners, and bathrooms that look like they’re never cleaned. Overall, a disappointing experience—not worth the membership.

She told me I had found the right place and two years later I couldn’t agree more. Seth and Vanessa are the owners and you will not find two more knowledgeable, patient and when need be hard ass trainers. They are both ifbb pros and Seth has a masters in kinesiology. Fitness is there life... read more

The Training Pit has such a special place in my heart! The owners, Vanessa and Seth are extremely knowledgeable, professional, and kind. With their coaching and guidance I was able to transform my body and become a competitive athlete. I have so much trust and confidence in their coaching! I would gladly recommend them to anyone, no matter your experience level!
