I've always wanted to try CrossFit, but was absolutely terrified (been in and out of PT for 20 years for my knees). I heard all the horror stories of drill sergeant coaches and a competitiveness that pushed you to the point of injury. And you had to be in really good shape going into it. Wrong!!!
Curiosity and boredom with regular gyms finally got the best of me. I researched and read all the reviews for the boxes in my area and landed on CrossFit Primal Energy. Best decision ever!!
The coaches are amazing! They genuinely want you to succeed, and it shows in everything that they do. The people that go there are just as awesome. Everyone is super supportive and the only person you are competing with is yourself! And if you need some guidance on nutrition, they've got that covered too!
I signed up for the Nutrition Challenge with Katie and lost 4lbs of body fat in 5 weeks! She gave me a nutrition plan, recipes, and held me accountable for what I ate. And she was supportive when life got crazy!
I'm seven weeks in and I'm able to do lunges, jump rope, and run more than 20ft without pain for the first time in years. The workouts kick your butt, and yes, your muscles will be sore, but that's kind of the point right?!
If you are looking for a community that will help you reach your fitness goals, whatever they may be, this is the place!!
There's no pretentiousness here. You won't find inflated egos. When you walk in, instead, you'll find a supportive community. Granted, I have only been to a couple of boxes, but CrossFit PE has been my favorite. Great facility (tons of space!), all the essentials of a gym, and the programming is diverse and rigorous. Talk to any coach and drop in on a class to see what this place is all about!
Great gym! The owner and the coaches are friendly and super motivated. Highly recommend it!
Came in for a drop in from out of town. Very friendly, quickly accomodated my drop in, and the WOD was killer!
Hands down the best Crossfit gym I've been to in Portland. The coaches are wonderful to work with and have always been happy to help me achieve my personal goals and make sure that I'm scaling my workout to a healthy degree for my personal fitness. Everyone is super friendly and supportive and the classes are challenging but doable. One of the best parts about this gym is all of the different class times they offer! I definitely recommend this gym for any athlete, beginner or professional. Love this place!

My nephew has several serious health issues that are progressive. CrossFit PE is keeping his skeleton and muscles flexible and strong as he ages. Beyond that, he's proud of his workouts and comes home praising Tobias, his coach. The rigors Tobias puts him through are varied and challenging. It's great to have found a gym that has staff with heart and skill to help. Conventional, closer-to-home places where he has belonged had no one trained to help with his special needs, and his workouts were simply the stationary bike.

I started working out at CrossFit Primal 2 months ago. I was starting back up after an intense shoulder surgery and basically sitting around for the previous year. I was a little scared about what my body was going to be able to handle, but new that I needed to do something.
The staff was very inviting and walked me through a 2 week training course to show me proper techniques for lifting, and scaled versions for exercises I could not yet perform.
It's been 2 months and I am know going 3 days a week with 5 other colleagues from work. I have dropped 30 lbs since I started, but more importantly I feel healthy and my stress levels are down. I'm thinking more clearly and do not have the body aches I was experiencing from laying around and not exercising.
If you are looking for a great gym, with great people, I strongly recommend CrossFit Primal.

This place is fantastic. The coaches are supportive and focus on form, technique and mobility - very important for injury prevention. They also push you to do the best you can do. The community of members are welcoming and truly a family. I couldn't imagine working out with a better group of people.

Great CrossFit gym! Spacious facility with educated coaches who know what they are talking about. I came in as a beginner and always felt safe and welcomed by everyone there, highly suggest it.
I've been to a few different gyms in Portland, and haven't found anywhere with coaches as knowledgeable or accessible as CrossFit PE. When I joined a few months ago I was immediately embraced by the community - members at all levels are in the same classes supporting each other. Expect enthusiasm, skilled coaching, high-fives, and a kick-ass workout!
...knowledgeable, skilled and friendly coaches will help you reach your potential no matter what your current level.
I got connected with Crossfit PE with a New You 6 week challenge. Laurie and her team are very accessible to ask questions, not just at class but email and Facebook (our challenge had a group page). I'll say this- totally worth the money, high quality coaching. You will get in what you put in. I just finished the 6 weeks , lost 8 lbs and 3 inches off my waist. More importantly I learned new and healthy tools on nutrition and did some things I thought I couldn't do, like deadlifts and thrusters and wall walks.
The team at Crossfit are skilled to scale workouts to variety of levels, and do so without judgment or negativity. They also ask about past injuries and chronic conditions. This is really important to avoid re-injury or a new injury.
I've done other team/group conditioning and sports with old school coaches who have the one size fits all mentality which has led to injuries in the past. I've also talked with people in the health care and fitness industry who talk a lot about crossfit injuries. This is a valid concern. I can say specifically at Crossfit Primal Energy the caliber level of coaching and engagement resulted in me pushing myself physically but without injury.
I went to many CrossFit boxes in Portland and this one is completely different. They have a huge focus on mobility and making sure everyone is safe. The community is great and was super welcoming from the start. I would highly suggest checking this one out.
Garry and I trained at PE crossfit this past week while we were on vacation in Portland. We are weightlifters and just needed a gym home for a week. I emailed a few other weightlifting and crossfit gyms but could not accommodate us for a few training sessions or were asking for a ridiculous amount. We are so lucky to have found PE crossfit and Laurie (the owner) was more than accommodating! We trained in the back corner with platforms while they had CF classes going on. We were able to do our own thing. PE crossfit had weightlifting bars, bumper plates, and change plates. If you are in the Portland area go check out PE crossfit! Thanks again Laurie! -Angie and Garry
