Amazing coach and unique class experience! I have been joining the 530 am class of other gyms and brands around the Happy Valley for the past two months and this group created the most vibrant, encouraging, robust and boosting atmosphere compared to others, mostly contributed by Coach Zach's attention into individuals' detailed execution in techniques. It was my very first class so I did not push my atheletic limits into a higher level but hopefully in two to three months I could catch up with fabulous people around me!

I think Zach is a great coach. He’s good at teaching and, has a good sense of knowing when to push someone vs. knowing when to praise someone. Not everyone can do all the movements/classes and I think Zach is great at encouraging and motivating individuals in these cases.

Cal is always readily available to answer any questions and help with any modifications if necessary. Feedback and corrections during the workout are also given which goes to show the attention to detail as well as emphasis on good form this gym has!

Coaching is always great. Through guiding class through a specific warmup for the days WOD, to helping you determine how to scale if need be. They then walk around during workouts to make sure you are staying on track to finish the workout.

Everyone here including Carolyn just has a good vibe I’m 17 and I’ve been trying to get stronger Everyone there lifts more than me but not once did I feel judged or looked down on Everyone was giving me tips on how to do different movements and how to avoid getting hurt If you have a large ego that could hurt. But if you have a positive attitude towards working out and you want to progress and BECOME strong versus go to a gym to LOOK strong you’ll have a great time. Seriously, other gyms positive advertisement is “nobodies looking don’t worry” but here everyone works together and will help you And if you’re more introverted and don’t feel like talking, I’ve noticed people are responsive to that as well

Sure, here’s a message for you: --- I’ve been attending Coach Zach's CrossFit classes for a few years now, and I can confidently say he is absolutely fantastic. One of the things I appreciate most about coach Zach is his emphasis on correct form. He doesn't hesitate to tell the truth and correct you, ensuring that you get the most out of every workout while avoiding injury. Despite my long tenure in his classes, I always learn something new from him. I enjoy picking his brain, and he is always—without fail—open to sharing his ideas and strategies about training. Highly recommended! And so glad I found the Tusk family.

Cal is a coach of coaches. He has cultivated a gym of athleticism, camaraderie, and compassion. The people come first, and that is evidenced by Coach Cal’s ability to make each person’s needs his priority. He will push you to your best self by helping you see your potential, which often has nothing to do with numbers but form, skill, and discipline, and then the numbers speak for themselves. Putting your trust in Tusk, is putting your trust in Cal, and his vision for a gym that’s a lifestyle and a community that has changed my family’s lives for the better.

Cal is an outstanding coach. He is always aware of every member training in his class. He’ll stop by, correct your posture if necessary, and adjust the WOD reps based on your performance.

Caralyn is a rock star! She always takes the time to explain the workout in detail and makes sure that you understand exactly what you are doing that day. When it comes to coaching during the strength portion or workout portion of class she is very good at keeping an eye on everyone to make sure they are doing it correctly and is very good at coaching an individual when needed. Whether that is tweaking your form to prevent injury, giving you a suggestion to improve your skill and/or efficiency or just a verbal "good job, keep it up!" to keep you motivated! Lastly, she is very personable and very friendly to any and all members too!
