Great, private gym. Door code access, weights up to 200lb dumbbells, massive weight stacks on machines, tonnes of free weights and heavy duty machines that are well maintained and clean. Serious lifters only - chalk, loud noises, and people grinding out their physiques.

Talked to the owner and he let me and my friends come at like 12 AM easy. It was pretty empty and the music was on point. It was super clean and no weights misplaced. 10/10 will be my go to gym now.

Went to this gym for four years, saw Gabe nearly every time I was there (almost daily until the end of my time in Washington). His professionalism, courtesy, and friendliness makes you feel like you are a part of something bigger. His passion about his beliefs is inspiring; its plastered every where! Its not your average gym where you will find the average people, you will see motivation, courage and dedication to become a better version. If you do not show these qualities, I recommend somewhere else. Though, we will not discriminate ever at this gym, they will encourage you to be a better form of yourself. I watched members come and go, from all walks of life and went to this gym through many times of my life, from moving, divorce, deployment to Afghanistan, becoming a better me, and finally, moving out of Washington; I would not have went to any other gym during these times. I write this review reminiscing of all the people I met there, the friends I made and the respect I have earned for the family at GStandard, and wish I could turn back time to live it again. Gabe, I will miss you and the atmosphere you created. You've set the bar high, and you and your gym will live on in my memory everytime I step foot in another gym, anywhere my life takes me. Much love to you brother

I have been to quite a few gyms and g standard is my absolute favorite! I traveled all the way from port orchard and paid the bridge toll everyday just to train here but just recently had to cancel because I just couldn't afford the commute anymore. I had no problem canceling at all it was very easy and painless so don't believe the people who say canceling was a hassle.

Best gym I have ever joined. Gabe has been nothing but kind, genuine and straight forward with me. Everyone at this gym is willing to lend a hand with spotting and help when ever you ask or if they just think they can help out. Best experience I have had a gym and the best atmosphere for sure. Just know this is not a fitness center.

I started training at G Standard just under a year ago and since day one it has been nothing short of amazing. If you go to a typical fitness center or normal corporate gym G Standard is the complete opposite in the best ways possible. For starters Gabe Moen the owner is very professional, kind and is very informative. The atmosphere is A1. You can be the smallest guy or girl in the gym and ask the biggest person in there for a spot or advice and everyone has no problem helping you out. This gym is made for bodybuilders and powerlifters and the minute you walk in the gym that is the exact tempo you get, because that’s what it takes to get you to accomplish those goals and get that next PR. Everyone in the gym is very kind and nice and there is no “gym creeps” because people don’t come there to “workout” they come to train and work there butts off. I will NEVER go to another gym. G Standard is the NW MECCA of bodybuilding and powerlifting and it proves it day in and day out.

Me and my husband were so excited to join this gym. Looked great. Reached out to their email address. Gabe the owner responded to contact him by cell phone which I thought was a little weird since their email address is posted. Anyway I also saw a negative review about drug use at his gym on yelp. I emailed him and just asked him about it since we didn’t want to work out at a gym that has steroid and other drugs used. He told me to never contact him again, and that we weren’t welcome in his gym. Guess that answered my question on the drug use and dealing going on at that gym. Steer clear people. Clearly there is drug use and drug dealing going on if his response was to never contact him again when we simply asked a very simple question.

GStandard is unlike any gym I've ever been to. Everyone there is unbelievably friendly. I've worked out in fitness centers for several years and never had so many people even smile at me or say hi like they do here (partly my fault because I have terrible RBF haha). I've only been working out here a couple months and I've had people offer to spot me, help me find bodybuilding/posing coaches, and just speak to me in general. Regulars say hi when they see each other and people hype each other up all the time. The energy is motivating. The women's room has a large mirror great for posing/photos and is always clean/stocked. The women there aren't catty either like in other fitness centers I've been to. People genuinely want to help others and everyone there is there to work out not just hang out on equipment. It's also 24hrs which is the reason my husband and I started there. I absolutely recommend it for people serious about lifting. I've learned a lot from being there a short time.

This is a gym that has gained a growing positive reputation, even internationally. I receive daily posts on Instagram about all that is happening there, and the sense of community, excitement, and yes, even fun, flows out of those posts. It's noisy, boisterous, energetic, and above all focused on one main goal: get fit. In the area? Got some time? You'll get a fantastic pump. But do you want a great memory after that, one you will carry for good while? Put G-Standard Gym on your "Places-I-Gotta-Get-To" List. It's on mine!

This is by far one of the best gyms in the NW! I've lived in Tacoma my entire life and have been lifting for over 12 years and just recently came upon this gym since covid hit. Boy let me tell you I wish I would have found this gym earlier. If you live in the area and are looking to change you physique with hard work and dedication then this is the place to do it. You will not find a gym with better members that push you to your max. The nonverbal competition is unmatched. You are who you surround yourself with and working out here around so many beasts almost guarantees that you will give your all each workout. That said the environment is welcoming to all experience levels.

Me: "Looking for a powerlifting gym for my wife and I. Wondering if I can drop by"
Owner: "There is no staffing. You get access after joining. You can look at the pictures."
Me: "How much is membership?"
Owner: "$55.00 initiation, $55.00 a month."
Me: "That's $220 off the bat. Would kind of like to see what I'm getting."
Owner: "I don't babysit the club, I did that for xx years, (blah, blah.) And you have to know a member to get in "
Me: "I'm kinda new here. I don't know any of the local powerlifters."
Owner: "Look, you wanna gym or not!"

I just had to cancel my membership after moving out of the area but I wanted to show my appreciation one last time. This is a great gym, period. The members are as nice as can be and never have a problem helping you out if you're new or need some advice. The atmosphere is incredible for lifting and staying motivated. Nothing but good energy in this place all the way around. I didn't know the owner super well but the few times I spoke with him he comes off as a normal, down to earth guy who truly wants the best for his members. If you're in Tacoma I recommend this gym above all others.

This gym looks like a really great place. I would totally work out here. Unfortunately the owner is seemingly on far too much trenbolone, and dealing with deep seeded emotional and physical shortcoming insecurities. His pathological jealousies over his fiancé tell a story of a life long struggle of developing proper self value. To anyone looking at working out here, I would say absolutely do so. Simply be weary around the knuckle dragging man child. Please be sensitive to his fragile ego. And pity him for the emotions fragility he has been dealing with his whole life.

G standard has charged our card several months after cancelling our membership due to moving away from the area. The owner has been less than helpful in resolving the issue and makes it out to be a burden to him. This isn’t the first I’ve heard of this issue, and it is starting to reveal itself as a trend. Save your money and find a new gym. This is no “Mecca”. It is a scam. I used to enjoy this place, but it has evolved into a drama filled cesspool that I don’t want to be a part of.

Overall I think the gym is a typical setup and very similar to your local Y or La Fitness yet he charges $55 a month for his membership. You will see a different side of the owner if you ever wish to cancel your membership.

I truly believe he wants to make a great environment for those to lift but his business practices seem alttile skeptical to me as you have to pay via cash app and cancelation hassles are unflattering.

He also compares his prices to corporate gyms and how much lower they are then his $55month. However your corporate gyms such as Crunch/Planet are $10month, LA Fittness $25, and they Y which is $20 so unsure what corporate gyms he is referring to.

Wish I could give 0 star and wish I read reviews before hand . The owner is very rude and always seems to yell . He never answer questions and except only payments through apps like (cash app or PayPal ) . Seems like this guys is avoiding taxes or something . When trying to call and ask him an important question he gets angry and hangs up , The gym is not very clean which makes it uncomfortable to work out . $55 a month is such a rip off for this kind of service

The owner is super rude. $55 A month is pretty expensive for a not so new gym. Plus he told me he only takes venom cash app or PayPal which makes me feel like he tries to avoid taxes or some thing. Why won’t you take a regular visa ? After I asked the owner why are his fees a little higher than other Gyms he just simply hung up and stopped answering my calls.

Going to the gym as a girl has always been a somewhat dreaded experience. Wandering around to find the equipment needed and being hit on by men every step of the way was never fun. GStandard has provided a place where I can train without worrying about being hit on or feeling uncomfortable. The atmosphere is fun, the people are helpful and not intimidating, and it feels SAFE. If you want a gym to train at that feels like home and keeps it fun, this is the place for you! You don’t need to be a bodybuilder or macho man, girls and glitter are welcome too!

I travel over 60 miles each way to work with Gabe and take part in the amazing energy he has created in G Standard. Gabe has literally helped to keep me alive and thriving through Lupus and many other health battles. He always helps me find a way. This is place is called the PNW Mecca for good reason. My favorite part about the culture at G Standard is that regardless of what your goals are or how far you need to go to achieve them Gabe and everyone involved with G Standard meets you where you are at and supports your efforts to achieve them. The person that is working on body transformation is just as valued as the Pro Athlete. Anyone who is serious about meeting their goals is made to feel welcome. As far as knowledge and passion for what he does Gabe is a Stand out as a Business owner. The energy at G Standard is contagious. I also really love the new location. Even on a Grey PNW day the loud music and expansive ceiling make the place feel bright and energized. There is not another person or another place I trust more with my health. When it comes to a resource for nutrition, training knowledge, a fantastic space and culture G Standard has you covered. The bonus is the new pricing. Dang! Thank you Gabe Moen for creating such a great place for those that want it to meet and exceed their goals and have fun in the process!

Before I would feel intimidated walking into other gyms BUT at G Standard I DONT!! I feel like family. There are ALL types of bodies, experience levels so you have support galore. Tons of equipment options. Gabe is the absolute BEST and I recommend anyone to this gym. Great loud music, no judgement, stress free, a place where I can go and not feel uncomfortable. With Gabe and the other trainers support (as well as members) I WILL reach my goal!!

Isn’t military friendly...

Owner threw a fit when I wanted to cancel the membership and services and yelled at my leadership in the process. Very unprofessional character, he is only sweet and nice until you want to cancel or want your money back. He claims to be military friendly but he really isn’t and also heard bad reviews from other soldiers as well.

He only cares about getting your money but doesn’t care to train you. Also tries to lie about how long you’ve been training with him.

Won’t be seeing my money for overly priced training. Waste of time and money. Which was a grand ($1000) for 30 minute training for TWO days and he had his woman cover for him the first day.

This is what planet fitness was trying to warn us about!

Eventually I got a refund and then was told that I did not have to worry about anything. Today, the owners sent me a club agreement stating tat I have dues to pay for the month of November!

This is the most amazing gym I have ever gone to! The owners Stephanie and Gabe are incredible. From the moment I walked in Stephanie instantly made me feel at home and although I was quiet and shy she broke me out of my shell by talking to me and getting me to open up. Within 2 minutes...literally 2 minutes I was smiling and couldn't wait to come back. Stephanie AND Gabe are both incredible trainers and have moved mountains for me!!!! I have unfortunately moved but am still working with them and will continue to do so. The gym is seriously amazing. If you're sick of corporate gyms, being started at when you go into a gym, hearing people gossip about others or even you in the gym, and are seriously just wanting to train and be around positive, non-judgemental people then you should seriously try it out!!!!! I was in Washington alone and met so many incredible people each time I came to the gym! Everyone says hello and if you have a question about something everyone is willing and able to help you out!!!! I wish I could give the gym 1000000 stars because 5 just isn't enough. Thank you guys. Keep doing what you're doing!!!!!!!

Great gym if you're serious about lifting. As an earlier reviewer said, it's filled with meatheads. Perfect! If you want a million iterations jazzercise class go somewhere else. If you want to actually lift, go here. The equipment is great and tailored to those that are interested in building muscle or strength. I frequent many gyms which are packed with lots of fancy weight machines a bajillion cardio machines but completely miss necessary, empirically tested equipment. This gym has what you NEED.
