I've always wanted to give CrossFit a try.It seemed intimidating at first joining a CrossFit gym because I didn't have much of a fitness background. But all of my worries went away the minute I walked into Tamalpais CrossFit, I was welcomed by friendly faces and smiles. The coaches are very attentive, I've always felt very safe in whatever movement I was doing, and there's always a scaled alternative to every movement no matter the limitation.Being a part of TCF you are a part of an awesome community where you're having fun, getting a great workout in, and you can count on the help of the excellent coaches to reach your goals. I can say with certainty that joining the TCF community was one of the best decisions I've ever made. More...

Hi ALL! If you want real sense of community and knowledgeable coaches, Tamalpais Crossfit is where you want to be. I moved to Marin 6 years ago and needed a new gym and a new community to be a part of. I reached out to other gyms around the Marin area and found that all they cared about was money and memberships. I never got a friendly vibe. After checking out 3-4 other Crossfit Gyms, I emailed Meshelle and Michael at Tamalpais Crossfit. I got an immediate response that welcomed me to check out the gym at no cost and with no strings attached. I signed my waiver and joined that day after my first workout. I have now been a member for almost 4 years and can't imagine ever leaving. The coaches give you immediate feedback and make sure you don't lift incorrectly. They go over every movement and get you warmed up before jumping right into your workout. You can ask questions about dieting, lifting and the coaches are happy to help you with your goals whatever they may be. Injured? No problem! The coaches can modify workouts for you and your abilities and disabilities. The other members at Tamalpais Crossfit are welcoming and care about getting to know you. I highly recommend Tamalpais crossfit not just for a great workout but for a community that keeps you wanting to come back. The gym's size is glorious! Come see what I'm talking about! Thank you Tam Crossfit!-Brittney More...

I've been going to TCF for over 2 years now, and I can't say enough about it. I love that the coaches are incredibly supportive and always paying attention to each and every one of us. The programming of the workouts are so varied and are great for someone of any athletic ability. The community of members are awesome! I love that when I decide to show up at a class I don't regularly go to, people I have never met are friendly, supportive and make the work outs so much fun! I actually look forward to exercise now.

Ready, set, review!  So, I have been going to Tamalpais crossfit since November 2017, and I can say that doing crossfit at this gym has been a life changing experience. First off the gym itself is pretty big, lots of room for a big size class so you dont feel cramped or like your working out on top of each other. There is a second portion of the gym devoted to weight lifting which is an added bonus. The coaches at this gym are what definitely make it an awesome crossfit gym. The owners Meshelle and Michael have a ton of crossfit, fitness and coaching experience. So if your new or nervous about trying crossfit for the first time, dont be. They will help you every step of the way along with Anne, Clark, Collin and Derek who are the other coaches who are all great and super supportive as well. What I have enjoyed about doing crossfit at this gym is the fellow crossfitters who attend as well. There is a great community of people all working towards a common goal of achieving better health, fitness and an active lifestyle. So yeah, this place is awesome!!!! Please consider this gym if you're interested in, or curious about crossfit. More...

I landed at Tamalpais Cross Fit and glad I did.I'm in the over 60 age group and was a long distant runner for over 40 years. Then a friend turned me on to CF in Kauai and I thought wow, something besides ultra running can really kick my butt.I liked that it works my whole body and having lower back problems from running I'm being coached by trainers that show you proper position and technique.But two things I learned in Hawaii and was a must for me joining a gym here was ego and ohana.  I wanted a CF gym that had good ohana (family) and people don't have big egos.  At Tamalpais CF you feel like you are part of the interconnected family of people who share the same desire and strive to be better and support one another. That's the "Ohana" I was looking for. The other thing that was important to me was a place where people don't carry around big egos. Its not posted but when you are working out people naturally check their egos at the door. Give Tamalpais Cross Fit a try!Michael M More...

So happy to have found my second home! I've gone to a handful of CrossFit gyms across the country. When I moved to the San Francisco Bay area I knew I needed to join a gym. I was trying to do it myself and wasn't getting the results I wanted. I knew I had to go back to CrossFit. I'm kinda picky about coaches. I feel this is the most important part of a CrossFit gym leading to either people reaching goals or breaking themselves. I'm a person who needs to be called out when I'm getting tired during a wod and my form is getting sloppy. I went to another CrossFit gym in the East Bay where I live and saw the coaches interact with the class, but wasn't confident in their abilities. I was recommended by a co worker to check out Tamalpias CrossFit. He bragged about the coaches and how skilled they were including Co-owner Meshelle, who has held numerous weightlifting records. I went in for an intro session and the other Co-owner, Coach Michael, put me through the ringer to see where my skills were. Well, 6 months later I'm still working hard with continuous improvement in my cardio, strength and technique thanks to this place. I feel that I am in better shape in my 30's then I was in my 20's. Not only will the coaches here keep you honest, but the regulars become you friends and hold you just as accountable. I love the kinship and know I wouldn't achieve my ongoing fitness goals like I have without Tamalpias CrossFit and San Rafael Barbell. Needless to say they are worth the extra drive and toll.

I can't say enough good things about Tamalpais Crossfit. This is a quality place. The coaching is excellent and the people are very nice and welcoming. Meshelle and Michael understand how to motivate and coach not only high-level competitive athletes (as they are/were themselves) but also true beginners and folks who are new to fitness. They watch your every move and will correct you to ensure you're doing the movements properly. Scaling is encouraged, but if they think you're capable of doing the prescribed ("Rx") weights and movements, they also encourage you to push yourself to get better. Also, the member community at TCF is great. It's diverse and the culture is very welcoming and friendly. If you are new to fitness or CrossFit, it can be nerve-wracking to walk in for the first time, but the atmosphere is so friendly and inclusive. There are people from all different types of backgrounds, industries, job types, and stages in life, and we all intersect at TCF to lift some weights, jump some boxes, do a bunch of burpees (ugh), and just plain get our fitness on. Plus, we cheer each other on while doing it. No divas need apply, and if they do they won't last for long! More...

I absolutely love TCF! I tried Crossfit once before down in SoCal and the coach seemed to not give any attention/care to my form. I was hesitant to give Crossfit another shot, but I'm glad I did. At TCF, the coaches are constantly watching your form and movements to ensure you're doing everything properly. You can ask questions, scale to your needs and request substitutions for certain workouts without ever feeling embarrassed or unsure. I moved up to NorCal not really knowing anyone, and I ended up with a ton of amazing friendships thanks to TCF. Everyone is just so sweet and supportive and continuously encouraging one another. I love it here and would HIGHLY recommend TCF to everyone who's looking to get a great workout, meet some amazing people, and feel great about themselves! Best spot with the best coaches giving the best motivation to keep going! More...

I've been here a few times as a drop-in for when I am home from school. It was very easy to contact the gym to coordinate and communicate that I would be dropping in; I was in touch with Meshelle who I believe is the owner. I always appreciate the option to buy a t-shirt the first drop-in (and the apparel here is really cute, love the California bear logo and everything!), and Meshelle even gave me a really sweet deal to continue to drop in over my breaks understanding that I am a student.Awesome community of really friendly people, and great energy and coaches. The space is clean and well-equipped. There's plenty of parking in the lot and the whole area is located right by the harbor, which makes for a cool (if even a little industrial) view. Even though Tamalpais CrossFit is not my home gym, I feel so comfortable and welcome here. And the drop-in rate is very reasonable. That's really all I can ask for -- that and a kick-ass workout! :) More...

My husband and I have been fortunate enough to do personal training with Michael Papes for years as we recover from various injuries and illnesses unrelated to working out. He's incredibly gifted at modifying for severe handicaps, talented at developing regimes to meet your personal goals, and secretly also a great life coach (whether or not he'd admit it). Within the first few months of seeing him, I went from 8# bicep curls to 20#, and increased my backsquat 120% to well over my bodyweight - an impressive increase for heavy weight training only 2x/month. He's helped me stay trim while adding tone where I want to - and gives great nutrition and lifestyle tips for a holistic experience.Highly recommend the gym, and personal training with Michael!!

First off, Crossfit wasn't for me.. I had my initial reservations going in, but all the Crossfit stereotypes I had envisioned were unfounded (here at least). It wasn't a hotbed of agro after all!  The people were all very nice, welcoming, and encouraging. The coaches did a great job of meeting you where you were at physically and making modifications as necessary. Additionally, unlike most gyms that make it nearly impossible to cancel your membership, they actually refunded me for a payment already made - unheard of - since I had stopped going because I thought my fiancé had cancelled it. Just really good people running this place and Meshelle, the co-owner, is also a lot of fun in addition to being a very knowledgeable coach. More...

I'm writing two years after my first review. I have now happily gained 8.5 lbs of muscle and lost 2.5 lbs of fat (I was a 'skinny-fat').  Going from weak to strong is just about as intoxicating as it gets- especially if you've never been there before. When I started CrossFit at TCF I couldn't even do a deadlift, because my back was so weak (now I'm lifting 150lbs) and it took me 10 months before I got my first pullup, but week by week I've progressed and I still am progressing... and everyone in the gym celebrates your milestones with you.It was definitely humbling and intimidating at first. But if you just keep coming, and just do one more rep when you don't think you can finish the workout, then one more then one more until you've finished, then you've done it. And that's the kind of thing that transfers to life... taking one more step through the suck... because the only way out is through..What I owe Michael and Meshelle and the entire community at TCF I can't put into words.. but it's fair to say that they changed my life.Now the place just feels like family.

"Mommy doesn't ride a bike!"This is what my 3 year old son said as we drove past a cyclist on the street recently. This was my wake-up call. I used to consider myself an athlete. I was competitive in multiple sports when I was younger and stayed active as an adult by training and participating in a variety of running and cycling events. Although I was somewhat in shape, I completely lost my identity as an athlete after I had kids and I wanted it back.I joined TCF about a month ago and am completely hooked. The workouts are challenging and fun. I love how every day is different. Everyone is very friendly and encouraging and the coaches are awesome. They are always able to provide modifications to the workout for those who need them. I'll admit, there have been times when they describe the workout and I think "you want me to do what!?" I think there is no way I can do it. I try and find that I can (well, for the most part). It's super motivating. I already feel stronger and have more energy.

My wife started working out here 4 months ago, and about a month and a half ago she convinced me to join, and I am really happy that she did. I used to be in the military and in a good physical shape, but ever since I got out, I just couldn't get myself to exercise consistently, got really out of shape and lost all of my strength. Since I started going to TCF, I for the first time in past 6 years, begin to feel like myself again. Exercises are challenging but a lot of fun, people are really nice, and the trainers are awesome (very down to earth, attentive and happy people).We are blessed to be living close by to such an awesome gym, but I know that a lot of our group mates commute from as far as San Francisco, and it is all worth it to them.

I walked into Tamalpais CrossFit feeling middle aged and frumpy with chronic back spasms which often "laid me out" for a few days. Although I had always done some form of physical activity, I seemed to hit a plateau in fitness and stamina. Instead of feeling pleasure and pride, I felt stagnant and discouraged. I needed an overhaul physically and mentally.I won't say it was easy, but it sure was challenging in a good way! There I was lifting weights, jumping over boxes and basically moving so fast I hardly had a chance to think ... which was good because I'm sure my mind would have told me it was impossible that a middle aged woman could be back squatting, power lifting or running with the "twenty somethings." Many women my age feel intimidated by this level of activity and while they may look in the window, they are afraid to come in ... Well, do not fear! This is one of the most welcoming fitness communities you will ever experience!Aside for awesome members, Tamalpais CrossFit really has excellent coaches. CrossFit gyms are popping up all over now, but not all are created equal.  Coaches Michael, Meshelle, and Corey have a level of knowledge and expertise that required personal dedication and commitment to their clients. They truly understand the function of the body, know how to work with injury or limitation, and coax/coach you muscles toward optimal performance.  If I sound like I'm "glowing," I am! I can't remember the last time I had a back spasm, I feel stronger, have more energy, and laugh more. Tonight a friend said I looked younger, thinner, and smarter. Haha! I think he may be right., and I credit TCF for the mind/body makeover ... It's working! More...
