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.

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.

"A place where everybody knows your name... and you're always glad you came." [1]…read more My review is based on my membership of one year where I've consistently visited 4x/week. Beginning during the end stages of COVID restrictions, it was so nice to experience outdoor swimming, the hot tub, and social time with other members. Swimming is my main experience at the club so here is what you should know: * Six lane outdoor salt water pool that is open year round (I've done laps in the snow, sleet, and hail). * You can reserve four of the six lanes and it is very competitive to get times, especially during the warm weather months when you are competing for space with the swim team, swim lessons, and aqua aerobics classes. * The other two lanes are left open for first come first serve usage and swimmers are encouraged to share. * The outdoor hot tub is for 14+ over. I have only taken one yoga class at the club and all classes have you reserve your spot. If you cancel less than 12 hours in advance or are a no show, you are charged a $10 fee. Personally, I don't mind since the reservation system makes me accountable and if I don't have a reservation, I'm less likely to go workout. The club is a nice mix of serious athletes (I'm surrounded by masters swimmers and triathletes), retirees, and families. Prior to my membership, my teenage son was a member for two years and loved the weight room, sauna, and steam room. The club as been open for awhile and is definitely showing its age and is need of some maintenance upgrades in the pool area. That being said, I have been very happy with my membership here and the personal feel, literally being greet by name when entering and exiting, and the wonderful customer service. This club is very different from the large national chains, so to each their own. Definitely recommend a trial membership at this club as well as others in the area to see which is the best fit for you. [1] I am currently re-watching this classic sitcom and while not aging well in the post Me Too era, still good for a lot of laughs.

Amazing new gym in Tigard…read more I recently moved to Oregon and had been working out at 24 Fitness. it seems all of them in the area are absolutely disgusting. I finally had enough, and went on a search for a new facility. I had worked out at Golds years ago and liked them, so I googled and found this place. Wow, what a great facility! They have every machine you could want, and more. The place is spotless, smells good and isn't overly crowded. It's also a new concept Gold's Gym. So it seems very modern and up to date. The staff are really friendly and helpful. And the members seems to respect the quality and cleanliness of the gym. Parking is also easy and plentiful. And its in a nice new business park. Ive spent most of my adult life in gyms, and id say this is probably the best gym Ive ever worked out at.

I debated whether to write this because it happened a few months ago, but the way this situation…read morewas handled genuinely affected me and I feel it's important to share I regularly used the co-ed sauna at this location. When I originally joined, I specifically asked about the sauna because it's located near the men's locker room/bathrooms, and I was told it was co-ed. The only posted rule regarding clothing says to "wear proper sauna attire," with no further explanation. There are also no towels provided by the gym. One day I was using the sauna with a friend while wearing the swimsuit pictured below. We were both sitting on towels and minding our own business. Afterward, we walked the short distance back toward the women's locker room, showered and changed. As we were leaving, the manager Luke asked if he could speak with me privately. He then told me they had received "numerous complaints about what you were wearing in the sauna." I was completely caught off guard. I had worn a bathing suit in the sauna many times before without an issue, so I asked what I was supposed to wear when the posted rule simply says "proper sauna attire." Luke said he had no problem with bathing suits, but then gestured up and down at me and said the swimsuit I was wearing was a little "uhhh..." before trailing off. I found this extremely uncomfortable and felt like I was being sexualized and shamed for my body and what I was wearing, rather than being given a clear dress-code rule to follow. He suggested I wrap myself in a towel, so I asked if the gym provided towels. They do not. During what Luke had asked to be a "private" conversation, another employee, Caitlin, interrupted and said, "Well, we can cancel your membership if you'd like." I was extremely uncomfortable with this response, especially when I was simply trying to understand what the actual rule was. When I returned the following week to calmly ask Luke for clarification, I also told him that if he was going to ask to speak with me "privately," I expected the conversation to actually be private--not at the front desk where other employees could overhear and interrupt. I then asked Luke who had actually complained about me. This time, he clarified that "no one complained per se." Instead, one person had apparently approached him and said, "Did you see that girl in a bikini?" Luke said he wanted to "get ahead of it before it became a problem." This was incredibly upsetting after initially being told there had been "numerous complaints." I had been made to feel like multiple people were upset about me or my body when, according to his later explanation, that wasn't actually what happened. I don't have a problem with a gym having a specific sauna dress code. If the expectation is that people wear something other than a swimsuit, that should be clearly stated and consistently enforced. What I had a problem with was being singled out, having my swimsuit/body addressed in such a vague and uncomfortable way, and being made to feel ashamed when I was following what I understood to be the posted rules. I ultimately stopped going for a period of time because the experience made me feel extremely uncomfortable in a place that had previously been a positive and safe space for me. I later spoke with people at Gold's Gym corporate about what happened, and they were extremely apologetic and told me they agreed that the situation had been handled inappropriately. I genuinely appreciated that response. I'm sharing this because I don't think anyone should be made to feel ashamed or responsible for other people's reactions to their body when they are simply using a shared facility and following the rules as they are posted. If there is a dress code, clearly communicate it rather than sexualizing someone's clothing and making them feel like they are the problem. I enjoyed it here (minus the loud music) and am disappointed that I don't feel comfortable enough to have a membership here at this time. Maybe things will change in the future! They need better management I guess.

I got a personal trainer. With two little ones, I decided it's time I get healthier. But, what do I know about fitness?! From day 1 - I was put at ease by Nick. He met with me, talked to me about my goals and discussed what sort of options were available to me. He never once made me feel like it was a hard sell - more, he was here to answer my questions and encourage me. Most importantly, he assured me that this wasn't going to be something that was going to drive me away. The team was going to work with me at my pace. I decided I'd go three mornings a week - totally crazy, right?! Now, I work with Vince three early mornings a week. Vince is awesome! He's fun to work with, super knowledgeable - always taking the time to explain things to me. And, most importantly, he's encouraging. I'm nowhere NEAR as advanced as some of the people I see, but Vince makes me feel like I have a place there. Just a few months ago, I would have NEVER thought you'd EVER find me in a gym. Now, I look forward to going!

Character building | Excellent for kids…read more We've been coming here for about 2 months now and recommend this place. Our 5 yr old daughter officially enrolled in their 5-12yr old class, once a week, and loves it! Backstory: We checked out this place a few weeks before our daughter turned 5. She is always very nervous and hesitant to try anything new, especially when it's something she does on her own without us in the picture. So, this was a big step for us. Within the first month of showing up, she went from watching off of the mat to sitting on the mat and eventually interacting with other kids with the help of one of the teacher's daughters. It was a long transition for our daughter, but everyone in the class are so welcoming and friendly. The teachers, including the owner, are so understanding. They never pressured her/us to join. They made the transition easier and more fun to the point where we signed up for 1 class a week and bought her a gi about 2 months later. In her words, "I like this place. I like jiu-jitsu." She is the youngest and smallest kid in this class. I'm excited to see how far she goes here! I like how Joe runs the class. They warm up, talk about the word of the month (i.e. respect), learn a new move, practice this new move with others, and practice the guard. For this specific class, they offer it 3 days a week: Tuesdays/Thursdays at 5pm and Saturdays at 9am. Parking is on the street or in the private lot. There is a sitting area for parents to watch.
