Portland Fit Body Boot Camp

I love the workouts. The workouts are always different and keep you on your toes. I feel challenged even when I'm not using any weights. The coaches are very accommodating to any injuries or areas that can be difficult for each member. I feel encouraged and always look forward to workouts. The facility is always clean and welcoming.

I signed up via Groupon. I tried to get information on the class times a week before starting but no one ever returned my call or email. So I just showed up. I went to orientation where I was part of a great group. I connected with several other moms and ladies. During the post workout orientation they mentioned that the weekly schedule is posted online. A few of us vowed to never go to core day again. I could not find the information anywhere online. I resorted to asking the ladies I connected with, we had exchanged numbers. They also could not find the information. I ended up meeting up with one of the ladies Ell the next day so we could walk the waterfront. During our walk she said 'let's call them to get the schedule cause this is crazy'. She called, Emily picked up and Ell started by explaining we were told yesterday that the weekly schedules could be found online but that none of us who had connected could locate it. Emily told her the schedules were online, she clarified and said the times were but not what the scheduled workout was. It was a silly thing for Emily to respond with, the times don't change so why would we be trying to get the weekly schedule as if they did. Emily said it's only posted on the Facebook group. Ell has the patience of a saint, she said well why weren't we told that- we all had our phones out and would have joined right then. Emily didn't tell a reason and never apologize for the trouble. Ell mentioned that it was a missed opportunity and explained that it has been a hassle so far to get basic information. Her tone was unempathetic and it sounded like she doesn't take feedback very well. Emily said she had to add Ell then add her to the group. The call ended as Ell got the notification. Something happened and Emily's friend request went away but no call to explain happened. We were like what is going on. Ell calls back, Emily doesn't answer. We both called repeatedly trying to get her to pick up and finish what she started. She never picked up, we both left numerous messages. Near the end of the walk, Ell said she was going to send a Facebook message. The next day she said she never got a reply, no call backs, but she finally got a request from Emily again. It took her two days to finally get in the group, and Emily didn't respond to her calls, message or email. I was appalled by the lack of communication especially by the owner. Once Ell finally got the schedule she messaged it to all of us. Two of the girls didn't have Facebook, and I am not about to join a group that involves that much hassle. I only went to one more class, my husband's hours changed and none of the times would be possible. Ell was trying to get me to continue, she even offered as a non morning person to come with me to the 5:25 am class but that would have been pushing my schedule a bit much. She continued to send me the schedule for two more weeks. I am thankful for the orientation which led me to a group of amazing fellow moms, and Ell.The building needs some upkeep, I got two splinters on my tush when I was trying to catch my breathe. I wish the times were more spread out so I could have finished my introduction offer. Also, they don't explain the exercises enough. I had to ask a few times what I was suppose to be doing. Many other people had to ask as well. They should keep in mind that if more than one person has to ask it means something wasn't clear in the beginning. Also, the more information the better. If you have the information, share it! Please don't make it a hassle for paying customers.

I want to give this gym more stars but I can't due to their lack of details, and customer service/care!! You have to be accountable for service/care if you own a business.THE PROS:-Great fellow gym go-ers-- this actually might be the best reason to join but sadly it doesn't negate any of the other things! I actually made a lot of friends in my orientation class- we exchanged number and we talk each week even some who stopped going.-The trainers are kind, and very thoughtful (2nd best thing)-Location was perfectTHE CONS:-Cost is high when they don't have basic customer service/care, and don't have more flexible times/schedules!-Getting someone to answer the phone is rare- it happened once from April (when I was researching) to end of September-There is no consistency with information. Or follow through when they don't know. i.e lack of customer care/service - (don't answer a question you don't know-find out the information then answer)-The times on Saturday are limited, only 3 in the morning, having one early PM class would have been amazing as well as helpful-Don't fall for the fitaid/lifeaid punch card (bait and switch), you'll never get one which is why I stopped buying 4 a week-The books they have of testimonials are really dated (by years) which was very unimpressive and lackluster - it made me think there was a decline in service and care. Either you can't upkeep or there are no new testimonials or both-They tell you in orientation that the schedule is online which usually means website cause if it was something more specific you would give those specifics-They fail to mention that by online they mean in a private facebook group which if that's the case tell people during orientation so they can join right then and there (by the way who only caters to people with facebook?)-The fans/AC went out for about a week, and they just kept saying they were out. No one ever said sorry, and they didn't alter workouts to accommodate the lack of air flow or AC-Schedules for the next week were often not posted till late that Sunday i.e THE DAY BEFORE THE WEEK STARTED, (thanks I love not planning my week out)

I've tried so many speciality fitness places in Portland where I didn't feel like I fit in because I wasn't hard-core fit enough, or Portland 'cool' enough. FBBC workouts make me feel like I fit in-- and they are no nonsense. I travel a lot so I can't work out at a gym regularly, but I can always jump back in to a FBBC workout and get help to modify to where I'm at even when I miss weeks at a time— thanks to great coaches like Savannah and Tyler! They even check up on me when I miss workouts for a long time (not like my old gym that I think took my money and was happy when I never came)

I love Portland Fit Body Boot Camp. I've been a member for 3+ years. I'm really impressed by how they have handled the workouts during the Covid-19 quarantine. They worked quickly to develop Zoom workouts for us giving us that same level of intensity we love from being in the actual gym. The owner and coaches care about their clients and it shows by how friendly and dedicated they are.

I started my workouts with Fit Body Boot just under a year ago. I love going and miss it when I don’t go. I go roughly 3 times a week and feel stronger. I did not go to the gym to lose weight or change my body, I went because I wanted a quality workout that I could count on, on a regular basis. FBBC has multiple option for different levels but I never feel intimidated or uncomfortable by the option we are given during our daily workouts. Highly recommend it for those of you who are looking for accountability but are fearful you won’t be able to keep up. You will feel great if you can get through the first three weeks.

I started at FBBC with the 6 week Groupon which is 100% so affordable and worth the try. Whenever I hear the word bootcamp, I think of some sort of insanely impossible workout that involves crossfit-type things and/or flipping tires. This is nothing like that. Instead it's a great HIIT style workout that's changes day to day and is perfectly challenging and encouraging. It's done in a quick 40 mins which makes it a doable daily workout.

This has been one of the best experiences. Such a challenge, this place is no joke. From orientation to 5:30 am session, I've felt welcome, included and nothing but positivity. The trainers here are so motivating, and the playlist is always hot! Come here and get it!

I have nothing but good things to say about PFBB. I first heard about PFBB through groupon. Getting a groupon is a very inexpensive way of trying the program out and seeing what it has to offer before getting an annual membership.First of all the instructors are amazing. They keep you motivated and are able to instruct the class as a whole while also giving individual help to those who struggle with formation. They also offer simplified forms of each workout for beginners or those who have injuries. Emily does a great job of checking up on us via email and sending out motivational and informative emails regarding nutrition and fitness.Check these guys out if you are looking for a fun, short, high intensity workout!

This place is great, they take daily fitness and makes it fun and push you to dig deeper and try harder. The group atmosphere keeps every session alive and leaves me feeling more energetic when I leave then when I got there. If your fitness journey seems to be getting off track give them a try, you’ll love how your body will feel.
