I am a physical therapist, so I'm really picky about gym safety and good coaching. I went to a class at every Crossfit gym in Portland before I chose Intrepid as my home gym. They are AWESOME. It's a great community of people, and the coaches are attentive, informed and don't take any chances with people's safety. I have been going here for more than a year, and I am stronger and happier for it! I can't recommend them highly enough.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the owner, he was very nice and told us our options (participate in open gym or the class). We didn’t know what the class was doing at the time as it was a Saturday morning and we were visiting from out of town so we decided to just lift on our own. It is a nice facility and they have everything you need to work out.If you live in the area they also have Olympic lifting classes and a team so if you are into Oly only this is the box for you. I would consider this box if I lived in the Portland area.

Great people go there, it seems like a good community, but I just had a bad experience. I've been doing CrossFit for a number of years. I bought a 10 pack. Unfortunately I re-injured myself one punch into the use of the service. The 10 pack has a 3 month limit. You have to use it all within three months. They had zero flexibility on this. They would not hold it or extend the timeframe. I get it, everything is "scaleable" right, well sorry sometimes you just need some time off and don't want to sub body-weight squats for toes-to-bar (etc. etc. etc.). I think some flexibility would have gone a long ways in this situation.Also, and mind you I've only been there twice so far, the warm ups are generic and uninspiring. The preparation for the specific intense movements of the workout didn't seem to be reflected in the movement preparation. This is just something that is on the radar of every athlete who has injuries.
