TESTIMONIALS

What our members are saying

"Challenging, Fun, and Welcoming"

"I started going to Tongass Fitness because I knew I needed more strength training in my life—and actually needed to enjoy doing it! I love the smaller classes, knowledgeable coaches, and that everything can be modified to meet you where you’re at. The workouts are challenging but fun, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the great community keeps me coming back!" - Terra Merwin

"I’m 50 and feeling better than ever!"

"I have never really worked out before a year ago. These high intensity workouts have been a game changer! I feel better than ever after turning 50 this year. The workouts are super hard, but I feel so good after they are done. The crew at Tongass Fitness is amazing. The coaches and the athletes bring joy to my life. " - Michael Butikofer

"Finding my strength again, one workout at a time."

“After a 12 year hiatus from weightlifting and working out in the gym, I decided to give it a shot.

I am over 50, still strong, but feeling broken in some ways.

I am looking to bring balanced strength and fitness back to my body. I am wanting to break pain and movement patterns.

After the first workout at Tongass Fitness, I knew I had made a good decision and was in the right gym.

My body is quickly responding to the workouts. I can feel my core strength improving. While the workouts are challenging, they are also fun. I listen deeply to what my body needs each workout and set my own limits.

My goal is consistency. I know I will see long term effects if I just keep choosing to go.

The coaches at the classes are knowledgeable, fun, supportive, and flexible.

I am thankful they are there to help me achieve my goals of being strong and balanced." - Julie Counceller

Your Burning Questions Answered

Is there a minimum level of fitness required to start training?

Not at all. We modify the exercises to match your level of fitness. As you gain strength, endurance, and experience you’ll progress to more challenging (but appropriate) movements.

Which class is right for me?

Don’t overthink it, and don’t be intimidated. Our classes are designed for all fitness levels, and every movement can be scaled to meet you where you are. The best way to find your fit? Try us out for a week. Come to different classes, see what you enjoy, and find the workouts and schedule that work best for you.

Do I need special clothing or equipment?

Nope! Just wear comfortable clothes that let you move freely, like yoga pants, shorts, or whatever you feel good working out in. Any training, gym, or running shoes will do the trick. As you get into it, you may eventually find yourself wanting a pair of flat-bottomed shoes, but for now, just show up. We provide everything else you need.

Do you have a locker room or shower?

We don’t have a locker room or shower, but we do have a spacious restroom where members can comfortably change before or after class.

I'm not sure I want to commit to a full membership quite yet. Can I just drop in?

Absolutely! If you live in Juneau, try as many classes as you'd like for a whole week. No obligation. See if we are a good fit for you. Get your free one-week trial pass here.

I'm visiting the area. Can I drop in to a class when I'm in town?

You sure can! Please book a drop-in class here. We're looking forward to seeing you.

Where are you located and where do I park?

We are located in the midtown Lemon Creek area near Costco. Parking is alongside the gym. Please do not park in front of neighboring businesses.
