Bridgetown CrossFit and Barbell Club

I love this gym, I have been training here for 10 years. Amazing weightlifting coaching, great training environment and the best equipment.

I'm 46 and I've never lifted anything beyond kids, groceries and mulch. I've always been intimidated by the equipment and the vibe of weightlifting...but I also wanted to get stronger. I'm so glad my friend introduced me to Bridgetown! Jay has been incredibly kind and respectful to me. He's helped me find some routines that I feel excited about and he's committed to my safety and form. The whole community there is welcoming and friendly. No one records their sessions or takes selfies, folks do their own thing quietly and with intention. For the first time ever, I'm LOVING going to the gym! I feel like I've found something better than therapy.

Started going to this gym a few years back and I couldn’t so much as do a real push up or pull up. The owners are awesome; patient, knowledgeable, and prioritize safety. Great for beginners and appreciate the space even more now that I’m more experienced.I love being able to walk in, do my own programming, and have my own rack without waiting for equipment to free up.The equipment selection is great, no way anyone has this many different barbells in all of Portland. Best place to learn and get stronger.

I dropped in here a couple of days when I was out of town on a work trip. Jay couldn't have been nicer or more helpful - I felt right at home. The gym was well equipped and had everything I needed. I'll definitely drop in again the next time I'm in Portland!

Amazing facility and the most knowledgeable trainers I know. I was a collegiate swimmer and I feel like this place is the closest I’ve come to finding expert advice and support since college. I feel more confident with my lifting technique and I really enjoy the morning workouts and intimate community of long term members!

This place is the real deal. Great people, great program. Been coming here for a few months. I'm athletic but never seriously lifted before. Felt comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. No frills, no BS, only what you need--coaches that know what they are doing and who want you to get stronger in a healthy and sustainable way. Can't say enough about Erin and Jay. And I can't wait to get back in the gym!

Fantastic gym! Great place to learn how to lift weights in a supportive environment that will still challenge you. Owners Erin and Jay are very knowledgeable and willing to help. I particularly like the warm ups (way better than any other crossfit gym I've been to) and the emphasis on avoiding injuries or rehabbing existing injuries. Every class has a warmup and stretching routine geared toward whatever the movements are in the workout you are about to do. Programming is great too. Could not recommend this place more.

This is a great gym. The owners — Erin & Jay — are there for every class session. The warm-up/stretching routines are solid (I've heard that some other crossfit gyms don't pay nearly as much attention to this aspect as it deserves). The workouts and programming are thoughtful. There is plenty of attention to detail and form.Bridgetown CrossFit and Barbell Club provides a good atmosphere with a good mix amount of support, good-natured snark & sass, and focus on the work at hand. I've observed that the gym is a space that accommodates every skill level. Coaches challenge competitive athletes, welcome newcomers and help them develop skills at a comfortable pace, and let folks like me who just want a good workout get that.

This place is great. I was in Portland for a month and initially chose this box for its proximity to where I was working. They offer convenient class times, smaller class sizes and a good location. You can tell that the trainers have a lot of experience. Jay was able to take the time to break down the movements and really helped to improve my lifting technique. The programming is smart and balanced. You will definitely get a great work-out in here!

I visited Bridgetown CrossFit and Barbell Club while traveling to Portland. Erin and Jay were extremely accommodating and helpful to make sure that I had everything I needed to complete the specific programming from my home gym. Erin and Jay provided tips on my technique an were very encouraging each time I came. I am very grateful to have found this gym and will certainty be back the next time I visit Portland!
