Friendly and inclusive gym. Best bang for your buck if you’re looking for a gym in the area that offers group classes similar to CrossFit.

I’m really enjoying being able to work out in such a down to earth and welcoming environment. Jocelyn has really great advice about how to get the most out of your time there and has been so kind. I highly recommend working out here if you’re just getting started adding a consistent workout routine to your schedule and not really sure where to start.

What an amazing experience. Training coach made me feel very welcoming and comfortable considering I tend to be shy. Highly recommend this place! it's not your typical "Gym" but rather one that will support you from day 1 with fun and funky events to join.

This is without a doubt the best gym in all of Portland - and maybe even the country. I came to this gym as someone who had a background in athletics, but had never really done any weightlifting or strength training previously. All of the coaches who work here are awesome - they are super supportive and encouraging, while also very helpful in teaching you the proper form and motion for each exercise. The people that go here are great too, everyone is so kind and welcoming, and you can truly come to this place as you are. Joining this gym was the best decision I made while living in Portland!

I was introduced to the idea of community gyms through my brother who is into competitive lifting. I am into the idea of keeping my bones healthy through regular weight training. Also going to a class where people know your name and there is a route for progression really helps for me. The coaches are great and I love the class options. I think it is cool that there are seasonal classes for things like skateboard conditioning too!

This is the gym I've been searching for!Went for a starter class and am absolutely hooked.The instructor was fun and supportive and clearly knew their stuff.The routine was intense but I never felt pressured to exceed what I felt comfortable doing.The group was all body types, ages and backgrounds.Cannot recommend enough.

My husband and I are on year eight of coming to PDX Strength. We joined a few months after moving to Portland. Nearly all of our friends were made through the gym. We bought a house in the neighborhood because staying at the gym was that important! I always want people to feel comfortable and included...I know it can be tough to be new and maybe even intimidating. So come say hello (your first class is free!) -- I like to think of myself as the unofficial welcome committee 😆. Clearly we like the place! See you there!
