Reviews of Crossfit Taranis Athletics Inc (Gym)

Sunny Hundle

This isn’t a gym or box, but more of a community for better health. Ridiculously caring coaches with a lot of different resources to improve your health and to learn more about CrossFit, lifting, nutrition. Was impressed before, but they’ve really impressed during this last year during the pandemic. Kudos

Trish Reimer

Awesome coaches and programming with a welcoming environment.

If you had told me a few years ago that I would be going to a CrossFit gym, I would’ve laughed in your face. But after joining the CrossFit Lite program I am hooked. The workouts are always varied, the coaches are knowledgable and fun, and they really take the time to figure out how to make the workouts suit you best. When a few of us asked for an additional time slot in the evenings, they accommodated our request....how many places actually do that? I recently had a chance to go through the nutrition program and I have to say that it has provided me was so much education and tools that I can use in my every day life. I feel stronger and in better shape than I have in a long time. I can not recommend Taranis enough!

The caliber of coaching is excellent and the community itself is amazing. The nutrition program that is offered provides an invaluable supplement to the CrossFit programming. The nutrition coaches are so supportive and really work with you to define and achieve success to suit your lifestyle and personal goals.

Knowledgeable and attentive staff. Reasonable membership rates and options. Friendly and open atmosphere. Huge range of equipment to use. Whether you Rx or have to scale, both members and coaches are always encouraging and not judgemental at all. Nothing but amazing things to say about CrossFit Taranis!

I am a sport and rehab based chiropractor with a keenness for injury prevention. This team of coaches is not only at the top of the Crossfit "game" but has gone above and beyond to educate themselves on injury prevention and movement mechanics. They have a keen eye for those who have movement pattern dysfunctions that are likely to cause injury and work to address them before it results in an injury, and this includes communicating with me or other healthcare providers to ensure a team approach is taken to better their clients. I have referred clients to Steve Howell, Vanessa Sullivan and Tyson Takasaki for injury prevention or post treatment/rehab strength training and they have done a great job. The fact that I am comfortable referring even injured patients / clients to them for one on one sessions says a lot!

Taranis has a high calibre of coaching and an excellent space; everything you need is there. The coaches and members are friendly and inclusive, but there is enough talent there to really push anyone to their best. Having been to Crossfit boxes all across NA, Taranis is by far my favourite.

I have been training at Taranis for just over a year and a half now and have been doing Crossfit for about 3 years. I moved to Taranis in search of good coaching and the opportunity to compete. Let me tell you, Taranis does not disappoint. The entire coaching staff is excellent, each bringing experience and knowledge in their respective areas. There is a fantastic nutrition program which I also take part in! No matter where you're at or what you want to achieve, there is tremendous support. Whether you are just getting back into fitness and wanting to get healthy or if you are a high level athlete, there is a place for you! I am quite tall and always joke that i am a giraffe who wants to be a tiger. Being at Taranis surrounded by "tigers" makes me believe that one day, maybe I can be a tiger too! Don't let my tiger analogy intimidate you ;) They are all very nice! If you are considering a change, I highly recommend you come give Taranis a try! Come say hi, I'll be around :)

The environment, just everything is amazing! So friendly and welcoming. Started the nutritional program they have to offer, and the results are phenomenal, still in shock with my results! you learn so much and have the support of the coaches, and the classes are always a blast. CrossFit Taranis is by far the best gym I’ve ever been to.

How do you write a review for someplace that feels so comfortable; like you’re writing a google review of your best friend’s house when you're a little kid. It's tough. The folks at Taranis Athletics are incredible. The staff are fully qualified and offer a seemingly endless stream of support and encouragement, no matter what your personal situation or fitness goals. The community of people in the gym is varied and diverse, with members of all ages, shapes, sizes, fitness goals, and orientations represented, welcomed, and encouraged. It is a place welcoming of anyone. The gym is clean, spacious, and well equipped. The gym offers a variety of programs in addition to classic CrossFit training including specialist programs for postpartum mothers, and nutrition coaching. I have been going to Taranis for over 10 years. It has been a cornerstone to my health and wellness. The community and camaraderie of the place provides much more than just a bicep pump or a cardio blast. It’s a place where you can feed your body, mind and soul.

Taranis is an amazing community. The gym itself is filled with excellent and highly trained staff who are as interested in your health , form and longevity as they are about getting you fit and strong. The energy and people are the best here!!! Everyone is so supportive and talented at what they do. My lifting has improved significantly since starting here. Five stars!!!

Tierra Post

Taranis has been a great place to not only get fit, but spend time with friends, some who are more like family now. The coaching is next level, including the nutrition coaching. I have been very happy with my results from following their plans. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and don’t make you feel bad if you slip up, but help YOU to figure out why you slipped, and come up with new ways to stay on track to get to where you want to be. 10/10 recommend!

Nichole

I had my assessment with the owner Vanessa; she was so welcoming and lovely. She made me feel so comfortable and ensured I was safe the whole time. The community of the gym was incredibly welcoming and warm, I am happy to have found this gem!

Wade

Great coaches and the scheduled class times makes it easy to get there everyday! From early to late.

Michelle Lysak

Taranis is seriously the BEST. The community is an amazing, inspiring group of supportive, friendly and welcoming people. The environment is high energy, hard-working and fun. The coaches are truly outstanding, well-trained and very knowledgeable about fitness, scaling and modifications. The workouts are well-programmed, challenge the best of one's abilities and intelligently include mobility, warm-up and cool-down. The nutrition coaches are great: they help you to make sustainable changes in the right direction, set and modify realistic goals with you, help to hold you accountable through regular check-in's and celebrate successes. I hugely recommend this gym to anyone, at any skill, ability and fitness level.

Incredible effective workouts and great coaches

Todd Horn

Taranis has been an important part of my knee rehabilitation after several surgeries. The coaches help create fun and challenging workouts that respect my limitations. I love that they guide us through everything from stretching, warming up, a technical breakdown of the workout, and then a hard workout. Did I mention that it's different every day I walk in? I felt that I needed some guidance on nutrition and signed up for nutrition coaching. A meal plan was created for me based on my goals. Regular check ins and tips are helping me where I'm finding difficulties and I'm getting better at this. Prior to Taranis' on ramp program, I had never touched a barbell in my life, and I'd usually just sit on machines at a gym wondering if I was doing it right.

Andrea Sanborn

I have been a Taranis member for over nine years and love the coaching and community. I trust the coaches to guide me and help me make the best decisions for for a safe and effective workout. I also love that I have found a group of masters athletes that continues to challenge me! I have recently tried the nutrition coaching and really appreciate the personalized advice I received from Meghan. She has helped me to solidify healthy eating habits in our busy family life!

Erin Finlayson

I have all the fun working out here. The people/community is THE best in the city! Coaches and facility are top notch. Best place to be if you are looking for incredibly knowledgeable, caring and committed coaches. They want you to be the best version of you. Have recently tried out their gymnastics and nutrition programs and have again been impressed by the knowledgeable coaches and the progress in my performance under their watchful eyes. Thanks Taranis!

Greg Hofer

Been here since 2009..... epic staff who are very flexible. Taranis has produced games level athletes for years and are very well known in the crossfit community.

Stephanie Needham

I came to Taranis to be part of the fledgling Powerlifting program a few years ago and Saturday at Taranis with my lifting peeps is still the highlight of my training week. Great coaching, great programming, great people, well equipped facility. What more can you ask for?
