## Better Through Fitness & Education

Armor Athletics has been proudly serving the South Tacoma area since 2010, with a full-service approach and many classes to fit your needs — group strength & conditioning, barbell training, personal & semi-private training, endurance training, and nutrition coaching.

We are independently owned and operated, led by Owner Kathryn Taylor. Our mission is simple: to better our community through education and fitness.

## 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.
