PDXstrength — Attraction in Portland

This gym is incredible. It's not just a gym, though, it's a really special community that is based on health, fun and holistic positive thinking. What is happening here is truly amazing. The atmosphere is different than normal gyms, which I personally have never felt comfortable going to- especially gyms that do similar "strength and conditioning," workouts like Cross-Fit. The classes are small so you're basically working with your own trainer and you get tons of great feedback and encouragement. It's really supportive and SUPER FUN and all-inclusive, NOBODY is out of place here. It's like, you literally get all the incredible results of cross-fit while you're meeting really cool people that live in your neighborhood and just having a fab time with them. There's always great music on, cool art and murals and new equipment to use. Jocelyn and the staff are always organizing social and charitable events as well, so there's also a lot of opportunities to hang out with other community members outside the gym. They really cater to every level, I've seen everyone from beginners in there turning over a new leaf, to beefy dudes that have obviously been lifting for years. Trying new things is always hard, especially the first time you break the seal and just GO (especially going to a new gym if you haven't for a while) but at PDX Strength they make stepping over that threshold SO easy, by just welcoming you with open arms. If you are thinking about it, just go check it out! It might be the best thing you ever did...

Incredible gym! Different than any gym experience I've ever had, and I've been members of multiple crossfit and traditional gyms in the past. The trainers together have vast knowledge of the body and are able to combine their unique specialties and skill sets to create incredibly challenging work outs each and every day.

All workouts are hour long, instructor led group training classes that combine lifting and conditioning to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility. They pay a keen attention to detail and do not accept poor form so every day is truly challenging in the best way possible. They offer multiple modification options for each exercise so athletes of all levels can perform and compete. The instructors and other athletes (members) are constantly beaming with positivity and encouragement so you can't help but leave class feeling spent and with a big smile on your face.

Would ABSOLUTELY recommend to anyone looking to challenge themselves, be surrounded by positive people, and to change...

Love this place! I get up every day excited to go to class. The coaches know their stuff and are amazing with helping you do what works for your body.

Prior to attending PDXstrength I had fallen into a "workout funk". I wasn't going to the gym more than 2x a week and I was definitely feeling it!

This gym helped me revive my love of fitness. I've also seen huge improvements in my self esteem and my confidence in group workouts/lifting.

Everyone here is amazing, the coaches and the peers as well as the occasional pups that visit are inspiring and very motivating! It's definitely a place where you can be at the level your at and still workout next to the strongest athletes in the gym.

If you've been thinking about trying more intense workouts and wanting to have a blast while challenging yourself, then check this gym out! It's my new...
