They do not answer their phones during normal weekdays business hours. The doors are locked and there is no way to tour without spending $30 first.

I don’t know what’s going on with this place, but recently they no longer provide wipes to clean the equipment. I walked into the gym and there was just 1 grimey USED towel with a spray bottle to wipe the equipment. Trying to share that with the other 20 people there is how fungal and bacterial issues spread. Especially as we’re heading into flu season, this is doubly gross.

Like why can’t the owners just make a trip to the Costco business center to grab industrial sized paper towels??? In all my years I’ve never seen anything like this.

If there is a supplier issue, they should have some sort of communication board or mass email sent out to members letting them know it’s being worked on or they should bring their own wipes temporarily or something. Or at the very least a company email address to send complaints since the owners aren’t there all the time.

If this continues, I will most definitely be canceling my gym membership because I don’t feel like getting a staph infection from some of the gross members I’ve seen who don’t wipe the equipment down.

The space is small but it is utilized well. Sign up was a little rough but I believe that was just my own inability to follow directions on their website. Once signed up getting in the gym was a breeze. Everything was clean and well organized when I went in there. I'm glad to join this place and can't wait to continue my fitness journey here.

Great spot for all your strength and conditioning needs!

Edit: Unfortunately the spot is rather small and if you go hereduring peak hours, having personal space is limited. I bring friends here who want solid equipment but don’t have the confidence to move around the space, yet.

A solid community gym. Lots of variety in their equipment, several trainers on staff, a dry sauna, private washrooms with showers, and 24/7 access for members using a gate code and entry app.

Some slight issues for me personally with their auto-email system not working, but overall I would certainly recommend this gym!

I just wanted to update my review since working with trainer Hannah Hartman for a year and a half. Hannah helped me recover from a broken kneecap. I was almost a year post surgery when we started working together but still couldn’t walk up or down stairs normally, couldn’t run, and couldn’t do any weight bearing exercise. Lots of atrophy. I was also in constant pain. Hannah transformed my life. Within only three or four months of working with her I went from bodyweight exercises only to deadlifting 135lbs. From not being able to do a squat period, to squatting 95lbs. She is a true healer who is devoted to her clients. She believed in me when I thought I’d never be able to get stronger. thanks to our work together I am no longer in chronic pain from my injury. Working with Hannah is the single greatest investment I’ve ever made and she has had the biggest positive impact on my life of anyone I’ve met in the past five years. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone needing support after an injury. Original review below.

I’ve been to a lot of gyms, from big box to smaller regional chains to exclusive luxury fitness clubs. The Base is my favorite by far. The facilities and equipment are always spotlessly clean, people are friendly and respectful, and personal training is top notch. Very positive, welcoming culture. This gym is ideal for weight training of all kinds. Plus 24 hour access means I can work out whenever best fits my schedule.

I love the Base gym. The staff keep it clean and organized even if other people do not. 😁
There's more than enough exercise equipment to go around in the small gym for me when I come in in the morning. I've never had to wait on a piece of equipment in the 9 months I've been going there. Most of the other attendees are friendly and welcoming to new people.
I look forward to my morning workouts and it will be sad when I have to move to another gym. That's only because I work construction and have to move around.

My husband and I are travelers and we needed a quality gym open 24/7 since we work opposite shifts. The base fitness has honestly blown away all locally owned gyms we've been to. The equipment is of the highest caliber! The bathrooms are clean and well kept, and a very nice gym shower. I believe higher tiers comes with some great benefits, we did not partake as we are only there for 3 months. I love that there are no young teens banging weights or running around. Adults who are working out, that's it. Only downside is the gym is small-ish and can be crowded at times, but that is most local gyms. I am hoping they are able to expand in the future as they have a great brand!

I had a short amount of time to get in shape before school. I was completing a considerable amount trail running and rucking while also attending a daily crossfit gym. I needed a coach who could keep me progressing without sustaining an injury. Walker Howard was fantastic! The focus was on ankle and shoulder mobility along with gaining upper body strength. I've had a few high ankle sprains and had broken my right hand a few years ago, and none of this became an issue while training. Everyone was very respectful and motivating. Highly recommend this gym and the trainers!

I have been looking for a gym with more professional equipment and members who are more serious about working out (I was very tired of Crunch and planet fitness). I went in not sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. Whoever created this gym and/or owns it clearly loves to lift and made the gym for gym lovers. There is a large array of different equipment and weights. Whether you are a powerlifter, bodybuilder or something in between this place is great for you. And my favorite part is that they have metal plates AND kg plates.

I was on vacation back to PNW last week. We were staying in Fife and I needed a gym to workout in the morning. Traveling to Seattle to or McChord was gonna take too long. So I found the base.

Talk about OUTSTANDING, EXCELLENT, TOP NOTCH, A+ it had powerlifting/crossfit area, functional area with sled & tires, all the great equipment, band, plyo, monkey foot, etc, etc.

Clean and cool, even a nice sauna room. Great trainers who would take time to answer questions and always greeted you though I was no regular. When I go back I'll back to the BASE. If you live close you GOTTA check it out. You'll be glad you did

This is a first rate gym. From top to bottom, it is about high quality. The equipment is all brand new or in excellent condition. The gym is cleaned regularly. Weights and equipment all put away regularly. Have deadlift platforms, squat racks, benches, machines and cable equipment, turf and HIT equipment, dumbells and kettlebells, and cardio equipment. Anything you need for any type of workout. Powerlifting, bodybuilding, crossfit, or casual. Bathrooms kept cleaned regularly. They keep that poop spray in stock at all times, the poo pouri? That stuff that only your one friend who has their life together has? Yea. The owners are solid people, friendly. It's 24hr access too. Have new camera and security systems. Installed brand new hvac split system this past week.

One down side is a speaker near one squat rack, music is loud enough to drown out your earbuds if you're in that rack. Otherwise this gym is superb.

Hannah and Drew have created a clean, friendly, professional, and welcoming space at Base Fitness. They clearly have put a lot of time, thought, and money into making this gym what it is - the best fitness center possible. I have been training with Hannah for 7 months and have gotten to know both her and the co-owner Drew. They are both knowledgeable and dedicated to their client's success. The gym is secure and 24 hour, has privacy film in front of the cardio machines, a full weight rack, tons of machines, bright/clean bathrooms, and multiple sanitation stations. Couldn't ask for a better gym or better owners.

An uncomfortable experience. After speaking to one of the owners about the sauna I was genuinely excited so I signed up.

After using the sauna mostly evenings, I went during the day once and during that visit I was approached by one of a owners standing nearby the sauna as I got out. They told me that shirts are required. That is extremely unusual considering I use the sauna multiple times in a session in combination with cold showers. Odd to keep taking on and off shirts to really get the benefit.

There are no signs that say you must wear a shirt in the sauna and it was not mentioned to me prior to signing up.

I would have preferred to avoid that experience altogether.

The amenities are nice, evenings are quiet and overall it is a good gym.

Hannah and Drew create a welcoming and inspiring space to take care of yourself. The gym is light, bright, clean and the bathrooms (2 with showers) are freshly remodeled. There is plenty of top quality equipment- weights and cardio - not too crowded. The people who come here are not intimidating and it’s not a pick-up spot. It’s people improving their health. The personal training services are from professionals-tailored to their client’s abilities and goals. The Base is a local Tacoma business not a big box gym. I like that people there know my name. My observation is that the owners and clientele are LGTBQ+ and all people inclusive. Great addition to the Lincoln District.

Base Fitness is an excellent privately owned gym that has everything and more than any big box gym can offer. The equipment has been wonderfully curated and it is truly a lifter’s paradise. The owners are personable, professional and really great personal trainers. I have been training with Hannah H. (Owner) for 5 years and have really made giant strides toward my fitness goals. I have stayed with her because of her ability to accommodate and assess what I need and keep me injury free as a middle aged person. She also keeps routines fresh. I like the atmosphere and have met nice folks at Base Fitness. This gym experience is worth every penny.

I’ve been training with Hannah for a year in a half and it has to be the best personal training experience that I’ve had. She not only designs your meal plan but she keeps in mind injuries , lifestyle , and routine to better suit your needs. She has pushed me to make serious changes in myself both physically and mentally and keeps me driven to push harder everyday. These trainers become your friends, your motivators , your therapist and your family. I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else. The environment is full of beautiful driven people with serious goals and from all walks of life and fitness levels very down to earth it’s very welcoming to everyone especially for someone as introverted and awkward and I am. Not to mention the gym is BEAUTIFUL with all new quality equipment and enough equipment to not have to be waiting on others.
