PDX Muscle

Best gym I ever trained at. Feel very comfortable here. Seriously feels like 1 big family. The people here are very open, honest, and down to earth which makes it hard to ever go back to a recreational gym. This place is growing fast and I am happy to be apart of it.

Love this place! It’s got a great atmosphere and equipment for whatever your fitness goals are! It is super affordable and an amazing diverse community! Everyone is super encouraging, positive, and genuinely cares about you and your goals. Coming from the midwest I am glad I have found my west coast family here at PDX Muscle!

I came to pdx muscle to further myself in my goals and find a good gym community to call home. Unfortunately that was not the case with this gym. One of the trainers there by the name of dan made an unprofessional comment to a close friend of mine. When I confronted the trainer about the issue he decided to justify is behavior by merely saying “I tell everyone, I’m not a nice guy”. After I realized the staff had no intent of owning up to their unprofessional behavior, I decided to take my business elsewhere.

Hands down best gym around, wether or not you are an experienced lifter or just starting your fitness journey let’s these trainers/staff help guide you. Super informational, helpful, and the atmosphere is untouchable everyone here helps and supports others in the gym. It’s a small family atmosphere. At the very least try it out and get a feel for it.

This gym is awesome! It has some of the best equipment. Awesome coaches but most importantly everyone their is like a huge family and so welcoming and always willing to give you pointers. If your looking for a coach I definitely recommend Danimal !

I started training with Pops over 2 years ago to increase strength and my general fitness. He successfully prepped me for a white water rafting trip through the Grand Canyon and is now keeping me fit for my next big milestone - having a baby! His depth and breadth of knowledge is unmatched. He helps you reach your goals, whatever they may be. 5/5 for the gym, trainers, and members! Thank you for being a place I look forward to coming to every week!

My story is a long one with this gym so I will keep it relatively short.It’s small which I personally like better now.I didn’t always because I was under the assumption that if I went to a larger gym, all of us are in the same space of not knowing what we’re doing. Of course that simply isn’t true. So I started coming here because Dan inspired me to feel confident and safe to be in a “family” dynamic if you will where I know if I have a question about lifting etc, I am going to get the answers I need. I love working with Dan! He’s very good at what he does and teaches how to properly lift without invoking feelings of guilt or embarrassment. He knows we are genuinely learning! It’s a wonderful space to work out in and if you try going once, I would be very surprised if you don’t stay. And that’s just the way I feel about it.

Day in and day out, I find the support I need from coaches, and staff, and the whole pdx team members. The atmosphere is very positive, all of the coaches are very encouraging, even if you don’t work with them. There are options to be a sponsored athlete, apparel for sale, drinks and healthy snacks available for purchase. It’s an all around home away from home for me, and I love showing up everyday. Thank you to all that make the gym run! We appreciate you all!!!

I’ve been working out with Felton at PDX Muscle (formerly Rhino Fitness) on and off for the last year. It’s a great, small gym and recent updates to the facility have been a nice refresh. You’ll see all fitness levels and everyone is very supportive. Felton is an awesome trainer who knows how challenge you. This is not a normal mega gym but it’s right sized for personal training and focused workouts.

PDX muscle is a great facility with positive and motivating staff/members. I’ve been coming to this gym before it was “PDX Muscle”, and all I can really say is that it has improved immensely. New equipment, clean, fun environment. This is one of the only gyms I know of that takes their members advice on new training equipment. 24/7 facility, and a top recommendation in my book.
