This Box is super spacious and has everything you need. A couple of friends and I are in town visiting and the owner took care of us! I don’t leave too many reviews, but this place definitely deserves a 5 star!

Pacific Strength (PS) is as much a space for high-quality and skillfully led classes, as it is an exceptional opportunity to build a sense of community. PS has been established and operated based on inclusivity of people of all races, sizes, genders, sexual orientations and nationalities. This is vital for anyone who has ever struggled to have a sense of safety, belonging or basic human respect among their community—either within or outside of a wellness space.

The coaches at PS, including James who is the owner, are a team of athletes who have each been on their individual journey of fitness and teach from that experience to reach as many class participants as possible. In each class, they offer positive reinforcement, motivating music for inspiration, variations to meet the fitness level of all participants and individualized attention to ensure safety.

A membership at PS can become an investment that begins and/or sustains a healthy lifestyle that can go beyond the doors of PS. This is especially important for those of us who may feel a bit intimidated by going to the gym, unsure of where or how to start working out, need a “refresher” or want a cost-effective way to receive an almost daily well-rounded fitness program and coaching!

Great gym! Very clean, and James, the coach and owner this morning, lead a great class and was very knowledgeable. I would definitely go back if I'm in that area again!

Dropped in here a couple times while I was here on a work trip. Everyone was super friendly and I really enjoyed the programming. Wish I could go here full time, not just when I’m here for work!

I was a member for about two years, and it was basically my first introduction to exercise with weight. James and Zach are both really good coaches, and Zach especially is amazing for working with beginners–he's super skillful at breaking down movements into manageable chunks, helping figure out where your issues are, and giving you something to work on to improve.

The best part of the gym is the community. There are a few macho jerk types scattered here and there, but it is largely a wonderfully supportive community of the most amazing diversity. The ability to reach and include more people than other gyms this style is James's special touch.

I was super intimidated to join a new gym and try Crossfit for the first time after months of being isolated and less than active during the pandemic. James and the staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the membership is also warm & inviting. Facilities are clean and well-stocked and the location can’t be beat.

I LOVE Pacific Strength!! I've been working with owner and head coach James Kusama for almost 4 years. I love his programming and have seen a lot of gains both in strength and conditioning.
The gym space is also really great and he has fantastic equipment and layout.
