Who We Are
Armor Strong
The moment you walk through our doors, you'll be inspired to work harder and believe in your ability to accomplish your goals.
Since 2010
Better Through Fitness & Education
Armor Athletics has been proudly serving the South Tacoma area since 2010. We're home to CrossFit South Tacoma, with a full-service approach and many classes to fit your needs.
We are independently owned and operated, led by Owner Kathryn Taylor — a CrossFit Level 2 Trainer, USAW Level 1 coach, and Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer. Our mission is simple: to better our community through education and fitness.
What Defines Us
The Armor Standard
Our Facility
Armor Athletics is home to people from all over Pierce County. Our convenient location and large facility have everything you need to accomplish your fitness goals.
Our Programming
Our in-house programming is tailored for our members — a proven approach to strength and conditioning, engineered to deliver optimal, measurable results.
Our Coaching
Armor coaches are dedicated to helping you safely and effectively accomplish your goals. Each has completed an extensive internship and passed our coaching evaluation process.
Our Community
Armor members are committed to improving themselves and encouraging others. We're a diverse community of small business owners, military, parents, doctors, firefighters, retirees, and athletes.
The Difference
Coaching Built for Every Body
Four of our coaches hold the Adaptive & Inclusive Trainer certification — training most gyms don't have. Combined with our On-Ramp program for every new member, it means we can scale any workout to any age, injury history, or starting point. Every Armor coach also completes an extensive internship and coaching evaluation before leading a class on their own.
