In Sandy, there are two main gym options. Thrive Fitness is the smaller, more affordable, more…read morestraightforward option. It was opened by a bodybuilder/powerlifter and kept to the essentials. I've mostly interacted with employee Becky, from my 7-day free trial, to sign up, to a session explaining machines and checking my form. I've appreciated her welcome to the gym. I also appreciate the 24/7 access for members (though I'm usually there during staffed hours). In terms of main equipment/things to know, they have: Three squat/deadlift racks, plus a Smith, Hack, and Pendulum machine. They just got a hip thrust machine which is very appreciated. Normal amount of dumbbells and a small collection of kettlebells. A turf area. Plenty of ellipticals, two stair climbers, and many treadmills though they do sometimes fill up. Single-gender bathrooms with two stalls and one shower. Parking lot.

Lyndi was my first CrossFit coach, back when CF PFB was a garage box in Yelm, WA. She started me…read moreoff so well that I was able to step right into a bigger box when she and co-owner/husband, Ben, moved to Oregon. Due to the driving distance being "only" 2.5 hours, I went to their current box once for a memorial WOD, in August, 2013. The facility is spacious and the equipment new. The layout is well-planned and efficient. There is only one restroom, but I never saw anyone waiting in line ;) They have a challenging 800m run course that goes uphill! Coaching is fantastic. I didn't work out under Ben too much back in their garage box, but he provided me with the support and positive critiques on my visit here, that I expect from CrossFit coaching. He's very motivational and yet cognizant of physical limitations (I have a bad shoulder). Lyndi is still as great a coach as always, too. She has a way of inspiring more effort, just when I think I can't do any more. After giving me the basics, she has continued to applaud my progress on Facebook - a friend as well as a coach. :) Community - as I said, I was only here once for a memorial WOD, but I met several people who were friendly and encouraging, cheering for each other (and me). I would imagine they are like that with their fellow athletes on a regular basis. I wish I had been able to go WOD with Lyndi and Ben more, but will always be thankful for their introduction to CrossFit that set me on a lifelong path of functional fitness. If you have never tried CrossFit, don't short yourself - go do it! Someone might look at me, a 58-year-old woman with a bad shoulder, and not think it advisable to do such extreme workouts. The key is in the coaching! The key is in how CrossFit can be scaled to give the best results for each individual, no matter your fitness level, age, or physical limitations. At CrossFit PFB, you will get healthier and do things you never imagined you could do.

Two days after my total knee replacement, I went to my first appointment at SportsCare Physical…read moreTherapy and found the staff to be very welcoming, relaxing, and professional. Mike gave me a lot of information about my surgery and what to expect in terms of physical changes and challenges throughout the subsequent weeks of recovery. He and my other PT, Maureen were always encouraging and took the time to answer the many questions I had throughout the process. Thanks to their expertise, select exercises and encouragement, I have improved my knee strength, mobility and have the confidence that I needed to help me continue my healing process for months to come. I highly recommend SportsCare Physical Therapy in Sandy, to anyone who is looking for a team who is friendly, highly educated, and one who helps them to recover safely, regain function swiftly and feel confident throughout the process.

The people at the front desk strive to help you get your appointments set even when struggling to get ahold of an adjuster in my case. the lovely assistance who were always sweet in their greeting as I was sat down to warm up and wait for tori. Tori was the best for me though, we got along great and she really understood my injury and my pain and really worked with me every week to help me get my range of motion back. I was told I may not be able to fully straighten my elbow after what happened by my dr but Tori helped me get my full range of motion back. I still have pain but her massages after our workout were what really set me right for the rest of the week. wish I could give more then 5 stars I really enjoyed being able to use this facility and their lovely staff. thank you everyone at sandy SportsCare!

I have been consistently pleased and comfortable with Cynthia at The Pet Geek from day one. I've…read moreknown Cynthia now for just about 4 years. She speaks Dog! She quelled any concerns I had about my dogs training abilities. When I first met her my dog was 4 months old, had been only around other dogs and needed to be socialized in addition to learning the rules around the house. She has given my dog confidence, a wonderful foundation for rules and my dog loves and adores her just as much as she him I think! Cynthia has come to my home several times for in house training which is invaluable. This allows her to interact and provide solutions and relief for pet owners like me who are truly not sure which approach to take. She makes notes, gives suggestions, does follow up and is always happy to work with you and your family so everyone is on the same page. Cynthia is a kind, trustworthy, diligent and creative pet trainer. She is patient and understands how dogs think and react. She asses each situation, thinking of all possibilities of what could happen while out and about. Safety for your pet is always first. For instance, my dog was afraid of people and she took him everywhere with her, teaching him to not be afraid, understanding his personality and watching, seeing and knowing what he was capable of without intimidating him, only making him curious and comfortable. I would not take my dog anywhere else but to The Pet Geek. Thank You Cynthia!! Julie, West Linn, Oregon

Holly, our 1.5 year old pit bull puppy, is very high energy and I struggled walking her, managing her excitement around dogs and people. After just a few sessions with Jason, I learned SO MUCH about dog training and how her brain works. She never pulls when walking anymore, she listens to commands, and she is excited to work with me. Jason cares about the dog and the people. He was flexible with our changing schedule and customized all of our training to what style I was comfortable with AND what we needed for our lifestyle. If you are considering working with System of a Dog, DO IT! Your dog will succeed, you will have learned a ton, and your own personal confidence will grow. Thank you so much, Jason!

Even years later, my phone blows up with all sorts of crazy accusations and stories. It's rather interesting. She's died many ways apparently.

Jo-e has done more for me than any health professional I've seen, combined…read more She's played the roles of therapist, health counselor and life coach for me all at the same time. I was in one of my cycles of depression when I saw someone recommend her in a facebook group. I've been seeing her for a year since then and my mental state and health have improved immensely. My deep depression has not come back since seeing her and when I feel myself inching back to that place I schedule a session with Jo-e and one hour later I feel like I've gotten a tune-up and more tools to use in my life. We've been working on my generalized anxiety and stress management over time. She's worked with me diligently on my health, which is what she proved was important to work on first. I had been exhausted to the point of tears for about 8-9 years with no answers on how to fix it from any doctors. One doctor told me "most women are tired". Anyway, after adding carefully selected vitamins and supplements to my schedule, changing some habits and new tools for dealing with stress and anxiety, I had relief for the first time and actually had energy. I stopped the vitamins suddenly at one point and the exhaustion came back. We've continued to work on my sinuses and digestion, as well. She knows her stuff. Jo-e also helped me establish a better foundation for my marriage and I think saved us from a lot of turbulence in the future by helping me find stability and a healthier way of expressing myself. My mom told me "I finally got back my daughter from before" and she was referring to my happy and positive self from before I was 13 years old (I'm 29 now, for reference)! Thank you for helping me be more "me", Jo-e.

5 Stars just isn't enough! Jo-e deserves more!…read more Before I met Jo-e, I seen about 3 or 4 therapist about depression, anxiety and family trauma. Those session were ok, but it was nothing like the sessions I had with Jo-e. When it comes to opening up about your personal life, it can be difficult to be vulnerable and trust someone with your life problems. From the first session I knew Jo-e was my go to personal health/life coach! I was finally comfortable opening up and expressing my personal mental health problems to someone. When it came to sessions, Jo-e always dug deep into my roots to see where exactly my problems sprouted from. Me, being a direct person, she always made sure to tell me what I NEEDED to hear not what I WANTED to hear. We started working on the food I ate and what I put into my body to fuel my soul. You wouldn't want to put cheap gas into a Ferrari would you? Exactly. I focused on eating cleaner which gave me the energy the get through my daily activities and not be so drained at the end of my day. The type of ENERGY I'm talking about it MENTAL ENERGY. I literally felt better MENTALLY, just by eating cleaner food. Food is one thing, but we also focused on being in the present. Jo-e guided me in practicing mediating, gratitude, and living my life at this very second. Not living in the past nor living in the future. She gave me the tools and exercises to work with that I would have never even thought about on my own. I started from having it all, but being miserable at the same time. I had an amazing career in the aerospace industry, but hated life. Great Job, benefits, medical insurance, stocks, everything you name it. My personal time was very limited and depression came along, so I reached out to Jo-e. I was single for the longest time, thinking love wasn't meant for me. I had a passion in Film/Photography, but was too scared to make the life changing risk. Jo-e was my quarterback to get through this depression. I practiced everything she taught me, ate most of what she recommended to me, and most of all practiced and accepted that I am enough. I'm enough for myself, others and the world. Today, I'm a freelance videographer, I live life on my own time, I having a beautiful girlfriend that I love, I eat cleaner, and my mental health is better than it has EVER, ever been before.
