Trainers near Milwaukie

“Just a great, positive, old-school (in the best possible way) gym experience. Great vibe that leads to hard work and results.“

“Skyler is such a great guy on the phone really gave a good vision of my life would look like at Muv fitness definitely five stars“

“I have officially been training with Darius for a year now. My sessions twice a week have become a non-negotiable in my life!

I came in as a complete beginner and Darius was patient and taught me how to lift weights safely and correctly. The reassurance that my form is right and I am getting the most out of every movement is worth it. Even more so, I am learning so much about my own strength and body.

Furthermore, as someone who struggles with mental health, I have seen improvement with consistent weightlifting. I sleep better and feel more connected to my body.

Darius also has been able to help teach me good eating habits, hold me accountable for my goals, and encourage me in a safe space.

I have laughed, cried, and pushed myself in the gym here and become stronger than I ever thought I could be under the guidance of Darius.

The only thing I have left to say is thank you!!“

“I needed to train before work, and even though Ryan’s mornings were already full, he made it work by meeting me at 4AM. That kind of commitment says a lot. When I overslept, he met me with grace, not judgment, and kept me encouraged.
His workouts are intense and effective. Five stars for the training, five stars for his attitude, and bonus points for the horror movie recommendations. Now whenever I hear DMX, I’m instantly reminded of surviving another session on the gym floor.“

“Bret is super knowledgeable when it comes to fitness and being healthy. You can tell this gym has a great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. I highly recommend!“

“In November 2025 I began taking Small Group Training classes at Fit Alliance. I had previously worked with personal trainers at a large, corporatized gym and it was never very satisfying so I stopped going a number of years ago. Now, as a senior, I was looking for a small gym where I could feel like part of a “community” that helps inspire each other to better health and fitness, and who also have a little fun in the process. I am very happy with my decision to join. Jordan and Lisa – the owners – bring joy and great energy to the gym and they clearly love what they do. Fred and Ben are excellent class leaders. Even after just four months I am seeing clear results in my strength level. I encourage anyone looking for a supportive community that will help foster better health to join Fit Alliance.“

“I was a member of an Anytime club in CT many years ago and one of the things that I like a lot is the size of this one. The one in CT was 1/4 the size. That being said the number of machines available for cardio and muscle are impressive! I am a very early attendee to the gym so I do not have contact with staff. However, if an issue arises it is addressed quickly by owner James! I will continue to recommend this gym to all that ask where I go.“

“Best gym I've belonged to:
1) It is exceptionally clean, due in large part to a dedicated young man named Ryan who really takes pride in his work. No gunk or film on the machines like most gyms have.
2) I've really enjoyed the classes, taught by Sheri and Griffin. They are accessible for all levels, and totally FREE!
3) The price is very reasonable... even the Black Card membership is only 25, which enables you to use the massage chairs, etc., invite friends for free, and use any PF! And at that price, if you can't go for a month or two, you don't have to feel bad or drop.
4) They have all the equipment you could ever need, and then some!“

“Melissa is an outstanding stretch therapist. I had low back pain after sleeping in an uncomfortable bed for a few days, and Melissa alleviated my pain. I was so grateful.“

“I love training at this gym! I work with Coach Jonathan in the small group training sessions, and it’s been awesome. Each class focuses on a different body part in segments, so with just two sessions a week, we’re able to cover both arms and legs — super efficient and effective.

One of the things I appreciate most is the flexibility. If I ever miss a class, it’s easy to jump into another session and make it up. All of the coaches are incredibly nice, supportive, and knowledgeable. They always provide helpful feedback on form and offer suggestions that push you to get stronger while staying safe. I feel challenged, motivated, and supported every time I walk in. Highly recommend!“

“I have been attending Adapt for almost a year and I can't recommend it highly enough. I have been able to return to running pain free and am moving so much better and am getting stronger! Amazing team and so supportive! This is the gym you go to for long term health- their focus is functional movement - if you are looking for a singular goal - like a Kardashian booty - this might not be the place for you. If you are looking for overall strength, mobility and movement for a lifetime - this is the place. There are people who have been going here for 10+ years. Lots of grey hairs and people moving well and strength training long into 60's, 70s and beyond. That inspires me and I want to be moving that well at that age! They also have a great youth athlete program to help fix those imbalances in those younger athletes.“

“Nice amenities open concept with friendly staff engaging members to both succeed and challenge themselves to become their best selves! Highly recommend“

“I met Katie shortly before I had knee surgery to repair tears on my meniscus. It had been about 6 months of regular pain, forcing me to refrain from running, working out, or even so much as doing a full body squat without pain and/or an unsettling click. Katie worked with me to identify the problems I was having and introduced me to a series of progressively more dynamic exercises to build up my mobility and strength to a level beyond where I was before my injury.Besides her mastery of physical therapy (and the fact that Katie is just an awesome person), these three things stood out to me the most:1: Katie uses a collaborative, educational approach to her work with her clients, and she is a fantastic instructor and coach. Moving my body in new ways was sometimes difficult, but her ability to articulate the exercises using auditory and visual cues was super helpful. Seeing something and hearing it in terms I understood made the process more enjoyable, and especially let me see why certain movements hurt, and how to improve upon them. Real-time cues while doing exercises also helped to hone in on the pieces I might be missing, and especially the pieces I was doing well. Both helped tremendously.2: Katie is extremely patient. Again, moving my body in new ways was sometimes difficult, which often left me spinning my wheels as I tried to get the movements right. Not once did she even remotely seem frustrated or impatient as I struggled. Instead, she showed enthusiasm for even the smallest improvements, and celebrated all of my little wins. It made learning and getting stronger a pleasant experience that motivated me each step of the way. Katie’s office is a safe place that fosters improvement in surprising ways.3: Katie is an empathic practitioner who understands your pain, and truly wants you to get better and be your best self. Knowing that she was on my side, seeing her celebrate my little wins, all of it. Katie made my pain feel understood from the first day, and inspired me to have confidence in both my progress and my potential once I was back in action.I highly recommend Katie for anyone who is ready to feel good in their body. She’s a treasure.“

“This was my first time doing personal training, and my experience could not have been better. Charlie truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond. If you are looking for the best personal training experience, this is it!!!“

“Calm, professional, supportive, specific training. New workouts monthly. For self motivated adults who care about fitness.“

“Updating my review. Pleasantly surprised that the alarm chirping has been fixed. Yay! Now if we could get hand sanitizer back ?. The staff are amazing. Love working out here. HOWEVER, the alarm has been loudly chirping every minute or so for the last week and the owner hasn’t been out to fix it. Super annoying as paying members. Surprised each morning that it hasn’t been addressed. My heart goes out to the employees working long hours having to listen to it all day.“

“I love Me Fitness!! I've been a member for 8 years and it's the best! They attract a variety of users, and everyone is super friendly. Instructions and trainers are excellent and knowledgeable. Staff is fantastic and friendly. Work-out areas are clean and well equipped. I love all the natural light and high ceilings. Perfect variety of equipment and class schedule and size. So happy I joined. Not only do I stay fit but it’s a fun little community!“

“I've been working out with Trent for over a year now. He's been great at keeping me motivated! I don't like the gym but I enjoy his workouts (fresh routine every 6 weeks). He's easy going and quick to help me address any issues with pain during a workout. Great guy! Give him a call.“

“Beautiful facility, great equipment, unmatched coaching. Learn how to strength train with the best team around.“

“My favorite gym, always clean and plenty of space/equipment! With the Black Card, I can go to any Planet Fitness, get a message, workout...take a shower...incredible, thx!“

“Specialty Athletics is the best! My 16 year old son who experiences down syndrome loves going. We can already see a difference in his energy and strength and weight. The trainers are very good - supportive, kind and well informed. I highly recommend!“

“First time boxing class, loved how welcoming everyone was and open to teaching. Would come back again“

“5-star club, amenities, service, and staff! This club is kept immaculately clean... Everything you could want in one location. Care and pride of ownership are visible everywhere!“

“Love this gym! I have been a member for about 2 months now and loving the weightlifting classes. The coaches do an excellent job of making sure everyone is performing the lifts correctly and safely. The members are welcoming and friendly making it feel like a true community. Can't say enough positive things about Rose City Barbell!“

“I’ve had an amazing experience training with Ami at Adira Fitness! As someone who is new to heavy lifting, I was nervous about starting and worried I’d feel weak. Ami immediately made me feel comfortable and supported. She meets me where I’m at, never pressures me to lift beyond my ability, and keeps me motivated with constant encouragement.

After just two sessions, I already feel stronger and more confident. Highly recommend Ami if you want a supportive and knowledgeable trainer!“

“Been going here a while. The trainers are professional and deeply care for your well-being. Reasonably priced, too.“
