I had an amazing childhood growing up here in Juneau. With so many opportunities for fishing, camping, hiking, and hunting the interest in physical fitness, or being physically fit, started early. There's something special about the camaraderie you become folded into with Tongass. It's a very accepting, supportive environment and one that prompted me to take another step in obtaining my coaching certificate in 2018. As a coach I enjoy helping my athletes reach their goals. It doesn't get much better than watching someone achieve something they've been working so hard for.

Bio coming soon.

I've lived in Alaska my whole life & plan to stay for longer to help people pursue a healthy relationship with themselves through exercise, food, and rest. Outside the gym, I'm currently studying to be a dietitian. I believe the beautiful marriage of individualized nutrition and movement can increase your quality of life. I look forward to growing as a coach and helping educate and inspire others to believe that they are capable of being an athlete and seeing them become 1% better each day.

Bio coming soon.

I moved to Juneau in 2020 and Tongass Fitness was my very first taste of CrossFit. It has been home to many shin scrapes, PR's, laughter, plenty of sweat and even where I met my husband! I am a dietitian by trade and enjoy helping people discover what they are capable of, both physically and mentally. I want every athlete to feel seen, valued, and accomplished (even for the small stuff!). My goal is for people to leave the gym with the belief that they can do hard things. Alaska folks are built differently, and Tongass is a wonderful representation of the positive energy, mental resilience, and kindness that keeps people coming back and getting stronger.
Your Burning Questions Answered
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You sure can! Please book a drop-in class here. We're looking forward to seeing you.
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.
