As someone entirely new to going to a gym, I couldn’t be happier with my experience here. Every person I’ve encountered—whether trainers or fellow attendees—has been friendly, genuine, and completely free of ego or judgment. The workouts are challenging and well-structured, and the trainers not only demonstrate techniques before a session, but also provide ongoing technique checks throughout the session. Highly recommended for anyone!

I Love this Gym! The coaches create a positive, enthusiastic, and safe environment to work towards your goals. The community of members they have created is top notch. There is never a competitive vibe-only support for the hard work we all accomplish at whatever level we are feeling that day. I am truly grateful for the community at Vashon Strong.

After warmups, the coach usually asks a question of the day to break the ice. One day, the question was, "What's your favorite purchase ever?" A lot of people said bikes - because... Vashon - but then the answers shifted to "a membership at VashonStrong," with everyone nodding in strong agreement.
That’s what makes VashonStrong special—people are genuinely thankful for investing in their health and wellness. Josh, the owner, is committed to creating a space where you not only see progress but feel supported throughout your journey. The coaches truly care about your goals, and your teammates are always there to lift you up and give high-fives after a tough session.
For me, this gym has been a game-changer. I’ve spent a lifetime dealing with chronic pain, injury, and hypermobility, and the last year has been all about getting strong, building stability, and working toward a pain-free life. Adding VashonStrong to my routine and working with Josh was the last piece of the puzzle I needed to achieve the results I’ve been striving for.
To put it into perspective, for the last 9 months or so, I've commuted from West Seattle once a week just to work out here. It’s become my time to get away from the noise and focus on myself in an environment that feels like home.
Did I mention the awesome people? :)

I came to Vashon Strong ~6mos before the pandemic started, after trying several different island adult fitness groups. 5 years later, I am stronger than ever! (I’m 47) The community is more than I could have imagined. Coaches and teammates are all so warm & encouraging. The atmosphere has been positive, every time… no exceptions! The coaching is specific & focused on individual needs. I feel proud of my overall health & fitness at a time when the hormonal slope is getting slippery! I am so very thankful to go “over the hill” with this strong, fun, supportive community.

I love Vashon Strong so much!!!! It's a place to workout, a fun social outlet, a place to build mind-body connection (mental health boost) and a way to give myself extra energy and strength every week! The coaches are knowledgeable, have such positive attitudes, and are equally great at helping those new to fitness and those experienced looking for little tidbits to take their fitness to the next level . The workouts are an hour, and pack in a lot during that time. Active stretching, strengthening, and conditioning. I never thought I'd be a gym person, but going here prepares me for whatever I want to do out in the world. I can easily go hiking or backpacking, do a 5k, lift luggage into the overhead compartment, carry a kid piggy-back, sprint to the bus, move a couch safely, etc. I'd love to be able to go more, but honestly, even 2x a week is pretty life changing. Give it a try! Give yourself the gift of at least 2 hours a week of functional fitness, sweat, some socializing, and a chance to clear your mind every week and see if it makes a difference for you as well. <3

Not enough hot ladies in a yoga pants what do you think I actually go into one of those kind of places how I'd rather just walk by the place on my way to and from work for the eye candy but no there's none to be had just a bunch of old men and old ladies that aren't even the hot kind it's the thrumpy kind.

This place is amazing! After years of doing CrossFit at a bunch of different boxes this is by far the best. It is the most welcoming and chill CF gyms that I have found. There are seasoned athletes, as well as first timers all in one room. Josh makes all of the workouts scalable for any level. If you are in vashon, come join us for some fun.

I returned to the Island for a quick visit and managed to sneak in a drop-in CrossFit class with Josh. The equipment is so clean and organized, programming was super fun and inventive, and my classmates were nothing but supportive, warm and encouraging. I'd highly recommend checking it out!

I’m a Boomer and cancer graduate. I have osteopenia and am required to take medications that can weaken my bones even further. I saw CrossFit as my best option and it’s paying off. My bone density is staying stable, but more than that I’m surprised at how much better I feel overall.

I have to start by saying that I hate exercising. I always have. I was the kid in school who walked while everyone else ran. I enjoyed a little bit of lifting, but not if it meant shaking with the weight.
Knowing that, I admit that when I signed up for CrossFit, every inch of me was screaming "NO!" The first sessions were hard, but Josh was reassuring and pushed me while giving me confidence. At the end of each team workout, all the members high five each other and say "good job", and I really feel that I did a good job. Yes, I lifted the smallest weight and had to scale every exercise down, but I did what I could, it was hard, I'm tired... and I'm proud and feel good. I still fight the "NO!" each time I get up to go, but the pride I have for going, the comradery, and the support is what keeps me coming back for more.
