Trainers in Portland

“Simple but knowledgeable. Made it easy to understand complex topics while also making it individualized for my specific body. Walked away with tangible tools and skills to practice. Worth the 3hour drive!“

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

“I have no words to describe how much Shelly has helped me! I started seeing her postpartum for virtual personal training and then transitioned to energy work sessions (body, emotion, and belief code). In 7 months of working with her, I have learned so much about myself and we continue to dig deep and heal on a weekly basis. I refer to her as my "family healer", as she now works with my husband, daughter, and mom, and has made a profound difference for all of us. Shelly is one of the most compassionate and kind people you will meet. She is incredibly knowledge and always knows how to guide you in the right direction - I couldn't recommend her enough!“

“Good range of machines for cardio and to target muscle groups. Friendly staff. Someone greets and says goodbye with every visit. Would be nice to do away with assumptions of “ma’am” or “sir” as I have been misgendered multiple times.“

“Noel Fuller is in the top 1% of Trainers on the West Coast. No nonsense approach. Such a vast knowledge of Bodybuilding, Fitness, exercise, and Diet. He has been there, done it, lifted it, tossed it, and done it again. He turns the Average in to Beasts. He has a large number of Professional Bodybuilders, Figure, and Swimsuit under his belt. I won't mention names because of Legalities. Even if you don't want to train but get lean and ripped through Diet-Noel Fuller is the MAN!!! I stopped lifting for 20 Years due to Back Injury. I barely Train and no Squats or Sit ups. Walk for Cardio 3 or 4 times a Week. The Key? -"Diet by Noel Fuller!" 56 years old. Thank you Noel!!!“

“Core Pilates has been an essential part of my health and wellbeing for 8 years. I always feel better after a session in this exceptional studio. Thanks to their thoughtful care and attention in every workout I've developed good habits in my poster and dramatic results in my muscle strength and flexibility. It's a fun place to workout with amazing instructors and clients.“

“Do you hate impersonal big box gyms and waiting in line for machines? If so, check out Fit4ever Training Studio. Michael Manning provides one on one training at his home gym. He is a great teacher and listener and has a wealth of knowledge to make sure you are getting what you need from your workout. Michael's expertise, friendly demeanor and reasonable fees helped in my decision to train with him.“

“I have been worked with Alex since 2021. I went to see him because 20 years of shots and several kinds of physical therapy had not helped my back pain. Alex is an excellent teacher: patient, knowledgeable, insightful, and funny. If I don't understand one approach, he tries another. He is very careful and reassuring. He helps me figure out how to deal with physical limitations without making things worse. My worst intercostal nerve pain is now gone, and my old lady kyphosis is improving.“

“this studio has the best vibes out of any pilates classes I’ve tried in the area! Chantal is FANTASTIC“

“What I thought would be a few months of working with a trainer turned into over a year (with no end in sight). I can't quit Anne because she has coached and inspired me to be stronger than I've ever been in my adult life! She's kind, supportive, massively skilled, and flexible. She's willing to adjust if an exercise isn't working for me (or I hate it) and when my needs change, she is always supportive and adapts my workout. Paying for a trainer keeps me motivated and actually makes me workout. Getting older is about being clear on what conditions you need to consistently exercise and enjoy it. Working with Anne makes me smarter and stronger. She has a great community of clients and we always have fun.“

“Lori shows me and my mom what to do in the gym and the workouts are just right. I like how the gym is clean and organized and it’s just the three of us in there. All good!“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“This is the BEST gym I have ever joined. I'm 72 and feel very welcome here. The staff is amazing and friendly, the equipment is always clean with lots of options, and the trainers are very friendly and helpful, even if you're not training with them. Highly recommend ME Fitness for all your strength training needs.“

“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!“

“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 hired Sarah and her team to spend an afternoon with my employees for a self defense class. It was fantastic! Highly recommended for a team bonding activity!“

“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.“

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

“Trent listened carefully to my goals and generated a detailed plan that catered to my pace and comfort level. I look forward to our sessions and wake up the next day with the perfect level of soreness in my body - satisfied that I am investing in myself without feeling drained.“

“I met with Jonathan for 4 sessions and then transitioned into the Legends program, which I'm super happy about. Jonathan was a terrific coach for the private sessions and I could not have been more pleased! I learned the basic carries and movements safely, with a lot of gentle coaching. It was easy to learn how to adjust my positions by watching Jonathan - he has set me up for success with my weight lifting goals!!“

“I worked with Elaine for a year and her patient awareness and constant encouragement and sound guidance were instrumental in my gaining strength. She is an excellent coach!!“

“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 massage of my life! Jay is an amazing body worker and incorporated a variety techniques masterfully and seamlessly to address all of my concerns, mostly old sports injuries.He is super intuitive and clearly dedicated to his craft because he has 24 years of experience. Well worth it as I’m already noticing positive changes in my range of motion!!“
