Worst customer cervise I've ever had
Owner and employee Joshie was condescending and rude. I Was charged 20$ for a day pass, and was then charged 99 dollars for the month with out being told. No paper work no permission, just took my money. Plenty of other gyms with better equipment and nicer people.

I joined CrossFit Portland a year and a half ago because I needed to try something different to get into shape. I finally realized that telling myself I was going to run when I got home from work wasn't translating into actually doing it consistently. I wasn't sure if I'd like CrossFit because a) I was really out of shape and wasn't sure I could keep up, and b) I was not someone that liked to work out in a class setting (I'm more of a 'suffer in solitude' type).
Here's what happened: the coaches are amazing and supportive. Scaling is not only okay here folks, but encouraged when appropriate so you don't get hurt trying something way above your skill/strength level. The focus on safety and form is the hallmark of a good CrossFit gym, in my opinion. That being said, the coaches are all very experienced and can tell when you're ready to move to the next level even if you aren't aware of it yet. I've even come to enjoy working out with others, which I never thought would happen. The reasons for that include that the people are very nice and supportive, and I've gotten to know some pretty great people. I also feel more accountable to myself by signing up for a class rather than trying to fit in a run here or there so I'm seeing good, consistent results. Lastly, but my no means least, I love the fact that we have training blocks to focus on certain skills for a period of time. We test ourselves at the beginning of the block and again at the end so we see real, measurable results. That is some motivating stuff right there. I never thought that working out would be the best part of my day, but it is now.

I've been an athlete all my life and was looking for a new sport/gym in May of this year. I was a little skeptical of CrossFit at first, but decided to give it a shot. CrossFit Portland was the first and only place I ended up checking out. I was hooked after one class!

The workouts are demanding and designed to push you to the limits of your ability, but never to the point of injury. During the workouts, I always felt I could personalize the exercises to fit my own needs and still get the most out of it. Based on the values of the gym, there is a high level of encouragement and support. I always felt comfortable coming to class and meeting new people.

I never saw myself as a CrossFit person, but this gym has completely changed my opinion of CrossFit. I am really glad I came to CrossFit Portland!

This gym is my home away from home. It has become a part of my regular commute home from work, where I stop in to workout, hang out with some amazing motivated people, and better myself. The coaches here are friendly, easy going, flexible, and extremely knowledgeable and have a honest interest in helping you achieve your goals. One of the great things about this gym is the fact that there are coaches all hours of the day. If your schedule doesn't fit regular classes, you can become part of one of their many other programming plans (custom goals, competition, self designed) and drop in at your convince, get your workout done on your time.

I started CrossFit Portland a year and half ago when I was tired of making excuses about why I couldn't workout. I really knew nothing about CrossFit when I started researching places to go. I chose CrossFit Portland because they offered a jump start class which I thought would be good for learning about the workouts before jumping into a full class. The jump start was a perfect introduction and made me realize that all the coaches are supportive no matter what level of fitness you are at. I knew that I could start going to the regular classes and feel comfortable working out with the support of the coaches and other members. Every one is very interested in helping you achieve your goals.

I always considered myself a very fit person through college. Once I graduated, got a job and didn't have a regular workout schedule, I found it very hard to find time to workout and make it interesting. The motivation that keeps me coming back to CrossFit is how fun it is. I love to walk out of the gym feeling I like I left everything there, and I always find myself in a better mood after I go to class. The coaches make sure you have the proper form and the other members make the workouts fun. CrossFit Portland has made me realize how much I missed working out, and I'm so happy that I decided to check it out.

I'm a master's athlete in cycling who has been working with coach Jonathan Thom for several years. At first JT was only helping with strictly cycling specific workouts on the bike. When the opportunity arose to do remote coaching with him adding in the strength and conditioning components, I jumped on it.

We have worked together to address specific areas in my physiology and identify strengths. In my case, we're working to adapt areas where I'm naturally more proficient to improve areas that need work to get faster on the bike.

I fully recommend Jonathan as a coach to help athletes identify and improve weaknesses while building on natural strengths to get better at their chosen sport.

I've been coming to Crossfit Portland regularly for nearly four years -- which is kind of a miracle, to be honest. I've never been much of a gym guy (bike touring and backpacking are more my speed), and always found gyms to be kind of monotonous, and focused more on looking good than being healthy.

This was different. I got dragged into Crossfit back in 2011 by a girl I was dating, and was completely shocked by how much I liked it. The constant variation is fantastic, and the people you work with (especially at *this* Crossfit) are endlessly supportive. Working out with a team encourages you to push harder than you would on your own; having a coach means you're doing it safely.

What really hooked me, though, was how it changed things *outside* the gym. I went on a snowshoe trip with some super outdoorsy friends, and we got hit by 3 feet of unexpected snow, and I was still able to keep up. On a multi-day bike ride, the ferry across the Willamette wasn't running, forcing a 20 mile detour, and it was fun. I got to climb Mt Adams last winter with some climber friends and snowboard down it. I ran the last 6 miles of a marathon with my girlfriend...and I'm not a runner.

Point is, Crossfit Portland has made it so that I don't have to worry about whether I'm in good enough shape to do something. I can just go do it. And that's kind of incredible at the age of 40. There are plenty of other reviews on this page telling you about how helpful the trainers are, how welcoming the community is, and how good the programming is, and they're all absolutely correct. But I wanted to call out the other part: you can go here, and work hard, and have fun, and be in better shape than you were in college, and go do all of the other stuff you want to do. And that's awesome.

CrossFit Portland is an amazing gym with great coaches, thoughtful training, and a welcoming community of members. I started here in November of 2012 and I hadn't done much CrossFit before. My previous experience in sports was mainly team sports. I started here because I had just started a stressful job and needed an outlet to stay in shape and hold me accountable for attending classes. Little did I know that CrossFit Portland would be way more than that!

My previous experience with CrossFit was being a spectator at CrossFit competitions that a friend would compete at. From that experience, I thought everyone who did CrossFit were a bunch of extremely muscly people obsessed with getting jacked. But when I started at CrossFit Portland, I found that the coaches and members here were doing CrossFit for more than just that. I got to know more of the members and realized this was a tight-knit, welcoming community of folks from all different backgrounds who had fun while working out! Which I found was just what I was looking for.

I've been with CrossFit Portland for over two years now and I am so glad I started. The coaches are always willing to spend extra time with you to chat with you about your goals and any issues you're having.The members are welcoming, fun and just a great group to work out with. There have been a couple times in the past where there was a possibility of me moving out of Portland and a major concern about leaving Portland would be having to leave CrossFit Portland and the great people I've gotten to know and train with since starting there.

With that, I definitely recommend this gym. I know you won't regret it!

When I was looking to get back into CrossFit after a brief hiatus, I was looking for something different. Something that wasn't all competition focused and something that improved my daily movement, not something that made me walk with a limp.

I started with CrossFit Portland in early October 2014, looking to get healthier - with weight loss as a friendly byproduct. At 30, I was beginning to realize I'm not as young as I once was and that I needed coaching support to identify potential problem areas, that were willing to push me and that could help make getting a great workout in every day! In addition, I needed help healing and staying limber for everyday life needs!

Working just up the street from CrossFit Portland, I found it via google search. Thankfully, I found a co-worker who worked out there. I met with him to get his opinion and was sold in a matter of moments. When I visited, Scott was welcoming, helpful and very smart. I immediately felt that this was the place for me and joined right then!

CrossFit is different at every gym. Things that should be considered are coaching, focus on technique, focus on functional movement, gym member support and the general feeling of being willing to challenge yourself past where you thought possible. CrossFit Portland delivers on all this - and more!

I've loved every day with CrossFit Portland and readily can't wait to get back into the gym. Check 'em out and I think you'll see what I mean!
