We recently joined Stafford Hills Club after touring four other gyms including the new Lake Oswego…read moreaquatic center which did not impress me but it was nice. After touring the gyms I came away with the impression that Stafford was by far the best gym in the area. The staff is superb and the gym and equipment are clean. None of that terrible "gym" smell that you often get at the gyms as they age. They also do an excellent job at making sure there aren't so many members in the gym that there are long wait times to use the equipment.

Overall review: This is a nice upscale gym/gym experience and the only real option for those who…read moreare looking for that upgraded feel in the SE portion of the metro area. I have been a member for about 6 months and really have enjoyed my time. Pros: -Women's locker room doesn't feel super dated. That was honestly a big reason I went with this gym, it was one of the few with a sauna/steam room that weren't disgusting. -Equipment/facility is generally in good condition and clearly proper upkeep is done. -Staff is kind and instructors seem to really care. Special shout out to Genevieve and Janet! -Yoga/pilates room is new and beautiful -This is a bit of a silly one but I love the room that used to be for bikes is now available for those who want a quieter space to work out if the other room has a class going on. Cons: -The class options for before/after normal work hours are incredibly limited. I am more of a class person and have been consistently disappointed with how few options there are. Generally, I think the gym caters to retirees/those who don't work a traditional 9-5 schedule. -Gym area is rather small. This definitely is more of a tennis club and the footprint of the area with fitness equipment is small in comparison to other gyms in the area. I have never had too much trouble waiting for equipment but when it's busy, it can feel cramped.

I never write reviews - literally never but i feel its necessary with this gym…read more MUSIC WAYYY TOO LOUD - can't hear your own music. They won't turn it down. I've never had this problem before but the music is so loud i can't hear my own stuff hardly with headphones on. So i have to compromise my hearing Tons of hidden fees. They rip you off on cancellation and don't warn you about it. The sales rep literally told me none of the things that would happen during cancellation despite me asking. And its earned them a 1 star review That and the fact that I was told to put my shoes on during a squat lift for "safety". Meanwhile people on the legpress didn't have shoes on and had 800+ pounds on it What else earned golds a 1 star review? Well the cleaning team that we are undoubtedly paying for is forced to slave away multiple hours EVERY DAY - deep cleaning the equipment, vacuuming the floors ( daily ). I can understand cleaning the lockers but not doing a deep clean of the entire gym. And i'm sure we are paying for that. These cleaners look so tired and over worked This gym lacks a t bar row machine, cable attachments, it only has 3 cable machines ( or two depending on how you look at it ). The machines are old and worn out. Some of them are way too easy or assist you way too much. Good luck doing back day here without free weights. The machines for back day are awful. No landmines. Or special barbells. only one cambarid bar for bicep curls. Constantly in use. Very crowded gym. There is a plumbing issue ( a sink constantly leaking ) which is an easy fix but they've put it off for 8+ months. The showers are constantly out of order needing maintenance. The lockers are broken into constantly so good luck there. The locker doors are constantly broken. Soaps and bathrooms are fine. Sauna is fine. Dumbbells are OK and weights are OK. Some leg machines are good. I really appreciated their calf press, sissy squat machine, and nordic curl machine. But the gym is lacking good arm machines, chest machines, shoulder machines, back, bicep, forearm. Etc., When cancelling, I was forced to pay for AN EXTRA month that i will not use. Even though I cancelled within the window for my current month Cardio equipment is OK 8/10 my biggest issue with this gym is the cost - its $60 / month and i feel like the only benefit to me was its close to my place and you get to work out with experienced lifters but it felt like a bunch of experienced lifters that were putting up with bad equipment. But other than that its way over priced for all these issues - i found a better gym on the east side of portland which had nicer locker rooms, bigger locker rooms, a pool, racketball, basketball, cycling rooms, more cardio equipment with a view, more cable machines, more attachments for the cables and more variety, bigger locker rooms and more bathrooms, a towel service, two floors, two yoga rooms and a posing room, and a ton of machines... in fact, it had a tbar row which golds didn't have, better rowing machines and better chest and back equipment. and this gym cost me less than $60 / month with no contract, no cancellation fee, no enhancement fee. no hidden fees, the music isn't too loud. huge upgrade. i'm a former professional bodybuilder and i would never go to golds gym again

I hate working out and the gym. What I didn't realize is there are better methods out there, and…read moreit's worth finding out. The House is not a gym, it's a group of coaches and trainers, who teach the correct body position, the reason behind it (helps me remember if I know the why) and how much to lift, based on where I am. The classes are small, it's not a "gym" with tv, lockers and roid heads or dudes trying to look at your butt (not mine). It's a group of folks dedicated to their health, the longevity, the long game is the heart of it. Exercise is not a fad, you do it and then you are done. This is what The House is great at. They are looking for you to learn the reasons you do it, how to pace it, how to develop, track and grow. Concrete example, in March, they had us test 1 perfect rep at the heaviest weight. If I can do a deadlift with 50lbs, that becomes my max. Now when I am working out and the rep 4-6x at 50% of max, I know I am working out with 25lbs. Now I have a goal to increase, and keep building. Education is an important component, not just lifting. As a woman, I never feel uncomfortable in this environment. 3 classes per week = 12x per month at $155? You cannot find a better deal in the Portland area.

But seriously, this gym is so much cleaner, including the pool, showers and locker rooms. It's a much newer physicality and in a building they built, so it should be better. Came here when The Pearl pool was closed for repairs and I was really impressed. Loved the pool! It seems to be 25 meters whereas The Pearl is 25 yards, and it makes a difference. Lots of natural light coming in from the huge windows, which I love when I'm swimming. And it's not as crowded. I had the lane to myself for an hour while others came, swam, and left, sharing the other lanes. My only complain is the steps going into the pool are quite high. I'm currently using a cane as I'm dealing with hip issues, and it was challenging for me to take that first step in, and then to take that last step out. The other locations have half steps leading into the pool making it easier, and safer, for those who are handicapped or dealing with injuries to access the pool. The locker room is much larger, has several areas where you can sit on a bench and be out of the way So everyone is. It in top of each other. The showers were so much cleaner! And there is plenty of room on the counter for your stuff while you dry your hair and get ready afterwards. It took me about 20 minutes to get there, with no traffic, so it won't be my everyday gym since The Pearl is just 10 minutes away. But I'll definitely use this pool on days I have appointments out in Tualatin, which is often, or when I have extra time and want to enjoy a better swim.
