CrossFit Tigard

After years at Bally's (LA Fitness) and Crunch, I was looking for more results from the 5-10 hours a week that I would spend in the gym. Over time I became convinced that CrossFit offered the challenge and the programming variety to not only achieve greater fitness but also develop new skills. I walked into PAW last August and never looked back. PJ and the other coaches know what they're doing. Great coaching, programming, very challenging but fun workouts every day, and a welcoming, diverse, community that inspires and encourages you to do your best, regardless of age, weight, current fitness level etc,. If you've been going to LA Fitness, Crunch or any of the other "globo gyms" in the area, but really want to get the highest possible return for your gym time investment, this is the place for you.

Awesome programming, awesome coaches, awesome athletes, awesome workouts. I've been attending for just over a year and am in the best shape of my life. I look forward to each workout instead dreading exercise. P.A.W.'s coaches and athletes are welcoming and supportive no matter where you're at in your fitness journey. No need to be intimidated, come in and join this awesome community.

I am not an athlete, and I have struggled with my relationship with health and exercise for years. It got worse, however, after I retired from the military and at age 46, didn't have incentive to at least stay in some kind of shape. I began receiving targeted Facebook ads for a 6 week challenge at Crossfit Tigard Paw which is located fairly close to my home in SW Portland. I decided to go check it out, but was slightly apprehensive based on how difficult I had heard Crossfit is.It turned out to be one of my best decisions, ever! The staff and coaches at the gym are just outstanding, and everything is scaled to meet your individual needs and abilities. Rather than focus on one specific aspect of your being, the PAW (Person, Athlete, Warrior) concept takes a more holistic approach to your individual needs. Since October, I have noticed a huge difference in my strength and conditioning levels.The gym offers two types of classes, "Crossfit" and "Fitness Fundamentals" and members can interchange between as needed. After the 6 week challenge was over, I started in Crossfit, but switched to the fundamentals, as I'm more interested in conditioning than strength. I feel comfortable, however, going back and forth.Finally, I'd like to say that Phil (the owner) makes a real effort to connect with the gym members at a personal level. I am a total introvert who suffers from horrible shyness with new people, and Phil and his team have made me feel nothing but welcome, assisting me with my self-imposed obstacles of feeling comfortable in the group setting.Oh yea...the gym is extremely clean, with great equipment (and lots of it!), pro shop, changing rooms, child play room, and a wide variety of class times. They also have a military discount, which I appreciate.I can't recommend this place highly enough. It's changed my life.

This is an amazing place. Where you can make new friends that become like family. Where educated and kind coaches encourage you to the best version of “you”. The instructing is top-notch and the community is great. The workouts are tough but fun, and I always feel the coaches are looking out for safety. Come join!!

By far THE best gym experience. I have been attending since Oct. 2017. I was not fit at all. Through my journey I have received so much support from PJ, the coaches, fellow "New You" members and the long term members as well.I have lost a total of 21.5 lbs & gained self confidence and a great support group. I have shown the next generation that you are stronger then you think. My daughters know that mom is strong & so are they. My older daughter is my best work out partner.I would highly recommend PAW Tigard Crossfit to anyone. No matter where you are in your fitness goals- go! You won't regret it.

I first arrived at CrossFit Tigard when I joined their New You Challenge in January of 2017 with absolutely no prior experience in Crossfit. After 6 weeks in New You I gained an entirely new set of skills, new friends, plenty of self-confidence and a renewed passion for fitness! I’ve been going to P.A.W. ever since!This gym has the most incredible coaches and community! I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else!

I love going to CrossFit Tigard! My husband and I workout together so we both find the exercise classes challenging and fun. The trainers push us to do better and try harder. When I can't get my body to do the exercise correctly the trainers are right there to help me with suggestions and modifications. The people who workout there are great, friendly, encouraging, and supportive. I can't say enough good things about the box, I really do feel very comfortable and safe here. No matter your fitness level this place will be supportive and help you on your journey. I only wish they had towels for workout sweat and a water bottle fill station available

I've been a member for 10 months now. I've always just gone to a normal gym such as 24 hour fitness. I had stopped going to the gym for a few years and decided to get back in shape. CrossFit seemed interesting and different so I decided to give Tigard Paw a try. I was really impressed with the gym, equipment, coach, and the workout my very first free hour class. I signed up for a year immediately, and am still extremely impressed. My body, mind, and spirit has changed all for the better, and continues to grow. I take extra classes dedicated to specific movements/lifts as often as I can. The other members, coaches, and atmosphere is so much better for me than a normal gym. I could go on and on about the place, but overall I don't have a single complaint. If you've thought about trying CrossFit or getting fit, you have to schedule a free class with Tigard Paw and see if it's right for you!

Great community and the workouts make you hurt in a good way. The only thing I wish this gym had is a place to shower up afterwards but aside from that one thing everything else is exceptional

I knew nothing about crossfit when I started three years ago. CrossFit Tigard PAW walked me through three, one hour sessions to orient me to the basics. Workouts are only sixty minutes. You work as hard as you want, lift only what you can and do more in that hour than most do all day. CrossFit Tigard PAW... Of curse it's hard... that's why it works!
