“Great gym! We'll maintained equipment and a super friendly staff. This is a great value for your hard earned dollars. Love this place!“

“I’ve tried various big-box gyms and CrossFit classes, but NLB is the best gym/training experience I’ve ever found. Whether you’re a novice or advanced lifter, the facility has everything you need. The coaches are knowledgeable and personable, and pay attention to your individual needs and goals. The feedback and programming is tailored to you. My strength and overall health/fitness have skyrocketed since I’ve been training here.The best part about NLB is the community. I can’t recommend the Barbell Club highly enough. It combines the best aspects of group classes, private coaching, and individual training, with none of the downsides. If you’re someone who benefits from external motivation, the supportive social environment is perfect for you. If you don’t like the pressure or competitiveness of group classes, it’s perfect for you. If you like to work out on a flexible schedule, It’s perfect for you. It’s great to train with a group of familiar faces, all working towards their own goals and celebrating each others’ successes. Truly the best experience I’ve had in any fitness program.“
“I met Katie shortly before I had knee surgery to repair tears on my meniscus. It had been about 6 months of regular pain, forcing me to refrain from running, working out, or even so much as doing a full body squat without pain and/or an unsettling click. Katie worked with me to identify the problems I was having and introduced me to a series of progressively more dynamic exercises to build up my mobility and strength to a level beyond where I was before my injury.Besides her mastery of physical therapy (and the fact that Katie is just an awesome person), these three things stood out to me the most:1: Katie uses a collaborative, educational approach to her work with her clients, and she is a fantastic instructor and coach. Moving my body in new ways was sometimes difficult, but her ability to articulate the exercises using auditory and visual cues was super helpful. Seeing something and hearing it in terms I understood made the process more enjoyable, and especially let me see why certain movements hurt, and how to improve upon them. Real-time cues while doing exercises also helped to hone in on the pieces I might be missing, and especially the pieces I was doing well. Both helped tremendously.2: Katie is extremely patient. Again, moving my body in new ways was sometimes difficult, which often left me spinning my wheels as I tried to get the movements right. Not once did she even remotely seem frustrated or impatient as I struggled. Instead, she showed enthusiasm for even the smallest improvements, and celebrated all of my little wins. It made learning and getting stronger a pleasant experience that motivated me each step of the way. Katie’s office is a safe place that fosters improvement in surprising ways.3: Katie is an empathic practitioner who understands your pain, and truly wants you to get better and be your best self. Knowing that she was on my side, seeing her celebrate my little wins, all of it. Katie made my pain feel understood from the first day, and inspired me to have confidence in both my progress and my potential once I was back in action.I highly recommend Katie for anyone who is ready to feel good in their body. She’s a treasure.“
“I can’t recommend Valley Strength and Fitness enough! Ryan has extremely detailed knowledge of everything related to fitness and is very generous about sharing his wisdom. After just one month of training with him I feel confident I could walk into any gym and crush a workout. Definitely check out VS&F if you need help getting started or want to take your training to the next level. Proper form is challenging to master, but Ryan is diligent about ensuring his clients learn safe and effective ways to lift. He’ll set you on the right path to achieving your goals while offering support, motivation, and camaraderie at every step.Don’t rely on gym bros to show you the way - hire a pro!“
“I love the gym environment- comfortable and inviting. Never too crowded, solid equipment, clean and helpful staff.“
“I am 82 years ago and I worked with a trainer years ago. I am visiting my daughter for a month and she suggested I see if Matt would have space for me while I was in town. I am astonished to say that even with five sessions, my balance has improved, my knees feel stronger, and I feel invigorated. Thanks Matt. 10 stars!“
“We've been working with Specialty Athletic Training for several years now and they are the best! The staff are knowledgeable, warm, and always able to adapt and meet client needs. SAT is a wonderful organization and a positive presence in our community. We are so grateful to work with them!“
“I was looking for something new to motivate me to move more and have fun doing it. I found it at GIRLS Gym. No matter your age or ability level you feel right at home. There is such a positive vibe there and I have so much fun!“
“Tip and Tarah have cultivated a unique atmosphere at PDX Fit that sets it apart from any other gym. Over the course of two years, I've had the privilege of training under Coach Tip, and throughout this journey, I've consistently grown and learned. Beyond just fitness, Tip and Tarah, along with their sweet pups, Tsunami and Typhoon, have become good friends. Going to the gym is the highlight of my day!In addition to my regular workouts, I'm also an active member of the PDX Fit powerlifting team. I can honestly say that being part of this gym and the team we've created has brought me immense joy.If you're contemplating joining PDX Fit, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the plunge - you won't be disappointed. :)“
“Nice amenities open concept with friendly staff engaging members to both succeed and challenge themselves to become their best selves! Highly recommend“
“Noel Fuller is in the top 1% of Trainers on the West Coast. No nonsense approach. Such a vast knowledge of Bodybuilding, Fitness, exercise, and Diet. He has been there, done it, lifted it, tossed it, and done it again. He turns the Average in to Beasts. He has a large number of Professional Bodybuilders, Figure, and Swimsuit under his belt. I won't mention names because of Legalities. Even if you don't want to train but get lean and ripped through Diet-Noel Fuller is the MAN!!! I stopped lifting for 20 Years due to Back Injury. I barely Train and no Squats or Sit ups. Walk for Cardio 3 or 4 times a Week. The Key? -"Diet by Noel Fuller!" 56 years old. Thank you Noel!!!“

“Annette is fantastic! Works on my weak areas, keeps me lean, and helps me prevent injuries.“
“Staff very courteous and professional. No pressure. Well stocked and laid out gym featuring pool, hot tub, free weights, machines, aerobics and dance classes and much more. One of the better gyms I've been to in the area.“
“I am a mother of 2 young children and a working professional. I’ve worked out with StrengthFarm for over 4 years. Sam is disciplined, consistent, professional and extremely knowledgeable and talented. He practices what he preaches. My body and strength has significantly improved, since I’ve been training with him. I’ve lost fat, gained muscle, learned how to eat properly and workout more efficiently.He doesn’t believe in the hokey, marketing schemes or fads. If you want real results and a real, focused, consistent trainer - Sam is your guy. If you are a person who needs hand holding, false information or someone to boost your ego - he isn’t the right fit.He’s always on time, accommodating to life scheduling conflicts and always available for any health or wellness questions/concerns/injuries.By far best trainer in Portland!“
“Lynn is the most amazing and inspirational coach you will find. She tailors your workouts to your individual needs and goals. No judgment about your skill level and no hard selling. She's really devoted to helping you be more healthy and strong. I've worked with her 2-3 times per week for over 3 years and can't say enough about how much I enjoy her sessions. Do yourself a favor and book a session today.“
“Hi, I'm a 69 year old woman who, before retirement, had a desk job for 30+ years. Within the last 6 months, I started coming to semi-private strength building classes at Woodslawn. I'm loving the classes. Most recently I have noticed that my whole back is feeling much stronger.
I assumed that I'd get weaker with age. To the contrary I'm feeling stronger and more secure in my body than ever before. Jonathan is a great coach and our classes are fun, well planned and focused. I look forward to them and leave feeling like I challenged myself just the right amount to improve overall. I'm so glad that Woodslawn Fitness is an accessible and welcoming place, or I may have been intimidated to check it out.
You've got one happy member in me!“
“Hands down best one of one training you’ll ever receive in your life. Private gym, new equipment. Dave is a true master trainer and his colleagues too have excellent training plans. Definitely worth the investment if committing to your health and well-being is worth is to you.“
“5-star club, amenities, service, and staff! This club is kept immaculately clean... Everything you could want in one location. Care and pride of ownership are visible everywhere!“
“Amazing staff with plenty of classes available for all skill levels! Been there for a year now and I'm very happy about it!“
“Super nice people, always at least one super hot tanning bed available, and super clean?“
“On last 2 visits there is no paper towels or other sanitary ways to dry my hands.
The showers are out of soap. They get one more vist before I cancel my family membership.
Very disappointed they don't keep the facility sanitary and safe.
Looks like they are doing better again.“
“It's never too busy here (I always can get a machine), even at peak hours. I like the staff, they are friendlier than 24hr fitness or Crunch ever was. The Hydro Massage and Tanning is so awesome to be included in the Black Card membership. I get a massage everytime I'm in there lol, and I've never had to wait for a chair or tanning bed. Highly recommend this location.“
“I like this gym a lot. I love the "judgement free zones"! Feels safer (for the self-conscious folks)! Staff is helpful.
I like the upgraded membership! You can Bring a friend for free, and use the massager seats and tanning and other amenities.“
