Fitness Connection — Local services in Scappoose

I used to enjoy working out at this gym, but I can only give it two stars now. The main issue is the influx of teenagers flooding the gym after school. They are often loud, disruptive, and unfamiliar with how to properly use the equipment. Many don’t bother re-racking their weights, leaving the gym in disarray. It feels more like a high school hangout than a professional workout space. What’s more concerning is that a significant number of these kids seem to be under 16, and many don’t have memberships—they just tag along with friends. It’s disappointing that management hasn’t addressed this situation, as it affects the overall environment for paying members. When these groups arrive, other gym-goers often have to wait to use the machines and workout equipment, making it difficult to stick to their routines. Additionally, the gym could use some serious upkeep. The machines need regular tuning and lubrication, and the weights should be better organized. The staff might also need to focus on reorganizing weights and keeping the gym clean, rather than sitting idle. Overall, the cleanliness standards and maintenance require more attention to ensure a quality experience for members. When the gym gets crowded, it gets REALLY muggy in there due to lack of fans and ventilations and no AC! Going somewhere else at the moment. Will give it another try in a few months and will revise my review, if I hear about any changes. Good selection of machines and people are...

5 Stars My son has been coming to this gym for the past two years, and I couldn’t be more grateful. All of his friends have memberships, and I was so relieved when he chose to focus on fitness and health instead of getting into trouble around town. Over time, he’s made incredible muscle gains and even inspired me to start working out.

I’ve now been coming 6 days a week for the last 6 weeks and absolutely love the results I’m seeing. The gym is clean, well air-conditioned, and never so crowded that I feel uncomfortable. I also appreciate that I’ve never had to wait for a machine — everything is well maintained and available when I need it.

As for other reviews mentioning teenagers causing problems, I personally haven’t seen any disruptive behavior. From what I’ve experienced, it’s been a positive and respectful environment for everyone.

Highly recommend this gym for both...
