So appreciative of the environment for growth that Khino cultivates with PPT. As someone not familiar with gyms or fitness at all but looking to make a lifestyle change that incorporated more activity and resulted in increased strength and mobility, it was intimidating to start but the process, but from the moment training began it has been educational, welcoming and fun. I'd definitely recommend working with Khino to achieve your personal fitness goals. Lots of flexible approaches for any schedule and budgets, a great motivational presence, and a boundless amount of fitness knowledge (plus he's always ready with an appropriate sitcom quote for any scenario). I've loved my experience. read more

I started training with Portland Physical Training about a year ago and haven't looked back! I have always felt intimidated by the idea going to a gym and was overwhelmed about where to start and what I could/should do. I needed someone to walk me through how to get the most out of the gym, to give me the confidence to pursue fitness on my own, and to keep me coming back every week. So far I've worked with both Khino and Nataliia who have enthusiastically given me everything I've wanted and more. They don't take a one-size-fits-all approach, and they understand my goals and what's important to me so that we can focus on that every session. I have always felt that I could ask them anything without feeling stupid or like I don't "belong" there. They are clearly experts at what they do but are very kind and welcoming to newbies like me. I end every session feeling tired but accomplished at having completed the workouts they designed for me. I can't recommend PPT strongly enough! read more

I had been wanting to try personal training for years, but could never afford it and never felt comfortable around the trainers in the bigger name gyms. First off, the free trial session is such a great business model and I really appreciated getting to test it out before purchasing anything. Secondly, Khino has made me feel so comfortable to get into lifting weights as an out-of-shape female. I don't feel like I'm being judged or surrounded by super macho energy. He knows how to push you within your limits so you leave feeling successful, but also not completely destroyed or injured. I always leave feeling like I had fun and it was money worth spent. Can't wait to continue working with PPT! read more

This was my first time doing personal training, and my experience could not have been better. Charlie truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond. If you are looking for the best personal training experience, this is it!!! read more

I have been working with Chase at PPT for over 6 weeks, and I could not be happier with multiple aspects of my experience. Let me list them! 1. Chase is incredibly astute, insightful and effective. She is so good at watching, asking questions about and understanding what's happening with my body, then adjusting my program appropriately & in really effective ways 2. I have lost at least 10 lbs and my body is becoming more tone, strong and less painful by the day. My best days are my workout days. 3. I have learned a ton that I can apply to my daily routine in easy ways (all of which help with pain, mobility and overall well-being) 4. The Lloyd Athletic Center is a great, all-inclusive, non-pretentious gym with lovely, easy going staff. Look no further for a personal training company, and I definitely recommending requesting Chase if you can get in with her! read more

I had the pleasure of training with Aly at Lloyd Athletic Club for my first time in the club. Firstly, I was very impressed with the facility. It's so spacious and has many amenities not offered at 24 where I currently go. Lots of courts for racquetball (how cool!) and plenty of space to work out even at 6pm. Aly was fantastic. I told her I wanted a lower body workout and she delivered. I was shaking 5 minutes in. She is so knowledgable that I felt the exercises were way more effective than stuff I normally do. She corrected me to make sure i was doing everything correctly. She also is so nice and so professional. She makes challenging exercises fun, even at the fourth set. I felt so accomplished, and i will definitely book another session with her! read more

I was only able to work with Khino for a short time, but he was still able to significantly increase the intensity and variety of my workouts, and I started to see and feel the results within a few months. I've had a lot of injuries in the past, and he was careful to work around problem areas and find solutions so I could still get full body workouts. I would definitely work with him again in the future. read more

I trained with Aly at Lloyd Athletic Club today and she was amazing! I learned a lot of new lifts and how to do them correctly! She's very knowledgeable about muscle groups and knows what she is doing! I would recommend Aly to anybody looking for an experienced trainer who really encourages you to be your best! P.S. Lloyd Athletic Club is super nice and you can enjoy a nice beer on tap on at end! read more

I think a lot of people struggle with what to do at the gym. I thought that the best way to get a 6 pack was to do a ton of cardio on a daily basis and I would be good, but two years Into that routine I was seeing zero results and I wanted to look my best for my wedding. Khino at Portland personal training and weight loss was awesome! We worked over the course of several months to figure out what my problem area was (diet) and changed to a routine of weight lifting that would make me feel the happiest with the best results! I'm so thankful for his attention to detail and friendly push to get me to where I am! read more

Intimidated by gym culture? Me too! I needed help learning how to weight train and build muscle and I got lucky when I chose Portland Personal Training. It's been a life-changing experience. Khino is an approachable, patient and consistent trainer with a great sense of humor. He leads an amazing team and program. You can really feel the love at this place. The club is so welcoming and safe. The positive vibe is strong and the community is real. Training with PPT has been a balm for all that ailed me, a healing experience; mind, body and soul. I especially appreciate their intention to create a safe space for queer and non-binary folks. Not even a whiff of toxic masculinity here. So grateful to PPT for creating a custom fit for me, supporting me to reach my goals, and building skills I'll use for life. A deep and endless thank you from a very happy (and ripped, like, totally shredded) customer. read more

I have been training with Carlee since the gym opened back up and she has been a great motivator. We work hard and get stuff done. It's been great to get back in the gym again! Big thanks to her for motivating me to start lifting heavy again! read more

I have loved my personal and group training experience so far at Lloyd Athletic Club. It has a very comfortable vibe and all trainees are extremely helpful at answering basic questions without judgement. Adam is a very knowledgeable personal trainer and goes above and beyond to communicate with me in between sessions. Same can be said for the group trainer, Khino. Khino is incredibly patient and takes the time to give personal guidance even within the group session. I feel very comfortable even though I am not a gym buff of any kind. I have lost 10 pounds so far. I am very happy with my progress so far toward getting ready for my wedding day in a month. I highly recommend this gym! read more

Highlight of my travel nurse contract in Portland! Definitely a reason to come back too. Khino was my trainer and we built a great working relationship. Pushed me just the right amount and let me complain when some days were harder than others. Always on time and even worked with me via FaceTime when I was on vacation. Highly recommend Portland personal training and the whole gym. read more

I have worked with PPT for almost 10 years now and I can't say enough good things. I've worked out with Carlee Roe for about six months and she is fantastic. She is able to work around my schedule as well as any injuries I have. Her workouts are tough but doable and always new. She's not a trainer that just puts things on Repeat. So, if you're in the market for a trainer and you need someone who can actually work with your schedule, then you can't go wrong with Portland Personal Training & Weight Loss. They're making it work during COVID! read more

I've trained with 5 or so trainers over the last 10 years and PPT is amongst my favorite. Their flexible options and the community they've built across their client base make it a fun and welcoming experience. I really appreciate that I've been able to build a trusting relationship with more than one of their trainers through their group training programming. read more

The CODIV-19 has taken a major hit on my fitness and weight management goals. The Quarantine-15, as in the15 extra lbs that many of us got sitting around, had set in hard. I'm so thankful that Lloyd Athletic Club was able to open in Phase 1 and I could get my in-person training going with Carlee again. She immediately got to work on both my physical conditioning and weight loss goals. Thanks to Carlee, I now got my stamina back, lost 13 lbs, and feeling great. Thanks PPT&wl for getting me out my CODIV-19 funk. read more

I've been working out with Carlee Roe for about a year and she is awesome! She will work with you to meet your goals and encourage you to push yourself. She's also really great about working to find ways to modify movements to accommodate each individual. Her programming is great and never stale. read more

I trained with Carlee Roe for about a year and a half when she was at her previous location. She is one of the best trainers I've ever had. She does a great job at listening to her clients goals and writing programming accordingly. She knows that success in the gym is very closely linked to what is happening outside of the gym and she advises her clients accordingly. She holds her clients accountable for reaching their goals and continues to push and inspire. Carlee is knowledgeable and does a wonderful job at keeping her clients safe by ensuring proper form and making modifications when necessary. She's a wonderful coach and a great friend! read more

I've started my sessions with khino at the end of July . That's makes it about 3 months now I have lost 20 lbs to date . Khino not only motivates me to work out he also helps monitor my food and texts me to check in with my meal plans and helps to keep me on track every day even when he doesn't see me. It's been one of the best decision of my life. Not only am I starting to look like my old self again I feel better and my health is better. All those aches and pains of unwanted pressure on my ankles and knees are going away. I feel strong and healthy. I will keep you all updated with how things go! Goal weight is 135 read more

Carlee is AMAZING! I have been working with her for the last few years. She listens to what you want, focuses on your goals and pushes you REALLY hard to accomplish them. All while making sure you are listening to your body and making sure you stay injury-free. One of my favorite things about her coaching style is that if there ever is an exercise that is too painful to do, she will always find a way to modify it, while making sure that you are still working towards your full potential. Carlee is consistent, reliable, knowledgeable and always makes sure to have fun. Book a workout class and you will not regret it! read more

I've been working with Nick for only two months and I'm losing weight, gaining muscle, and I've got so much more stamina at the gym and in life. I'm also down two pants sizes! My doctor has been telling me that I need additional medications to manage type 2 diabetes. This week I found out that my A1C (diabetic blood sugar average) has gone from 11.4 (under-medicated and scary) to 6.6 (unexpectedly awesome). Now my doctor says to keep doing what I'm doing! And that will be keeping Nick as my personal trainer for the long term. I highly recommend PPTWL for all of your fitness and weight loss goals. Nick offers just the right balance with a touch of compassion. Remember your favorite teacher, the one who made you want to succeed? That's Nick. He's got the people skills to keep you motivated and the experience to help you get your body where you want it to be. read more

These guys are legit. They really know their stuff. I was having such a difficult time losing weight. I was getting sick all the time and just feeling tired and blah. I decided I really needed to get some motivation to turn things around. I hired Khino as my personal trainer and since then my life has changed. He gave me a nutrition plan that was not difficult to follow, and has guided me to make adjustments where needed or introduce some healthy food options that could fulfill my cravings. My training sessions are very challenging but also fun! I leave my workouts feeling awesome. Since then I've adopted a new way of life. I'm eating healthier, feeling stronger, I'm not getting sick anymore, and I've been able to completely get rid of my allergy medication (which I was taking daily). I'm pretty shocked about the latter because I've been taking allergy medication for the last several years. I'd say it's also pretttty awesome that I've lost 25 pounds and gone down several sizes in my clothes in 2.5 months. read more

I've been training with Carlee for a long time and she always comes up with challenging workouts that are creative and keep me engaged. She's also personable and knows when I need her to push me. Highly recommend seeking her out if you're looking for a trainer! read more

One of the best decisions of my life! I've always struggled with exercising and was intimidated by going to the gym, fear of being judged, lack of enthusiasm, and excitement. I contacted Nick and he called me the next day. I explained to him that I don't wanna get overwhelmed, pushed too hard, and get bulky. He listened very carefully and answered all my questions in detail and with patience. long story short I've been going to the gym every week since then and man oh man I have been enjoying it. I am training with Derek and he's like the most humble awesome trainer I've ever seen. He's extremely knowledgeable and makes sure you're enjoying the exercise. As cheesy as it sounds I LOVE going to the gym now. There are many different options financially and you can choose the one that fits you most. The gym itself has everything you need. The showers and lockers are super clean and you don't have to rent a locker like many other places, you can borrow a lock from the front desk. There is a lounge area which is very cool and the other day I just sat there working before my exercise session, enjoying a free cup of coffee. Another option they have which I am using as well as a small group training session 3 times a week and honestly it feels the same as a personal training session. They focus on your work constantly and help you through it. I like the 1-1 sessions because I would like to discuss each exercise with Derek and sometimes I'm really tired or sore, so he updates the sets accordingly. Just go to a free session, they won't force you to make your mind right away AT ALL. even after a month they ask if you want to continue or not. Hope anyone who reads this would give them and most importantly yourself a chance. read more

Khino and Nick helped me achieve my goal of losing 6% body fat in less than 10 weeks. Plans are comprehensive, no-nonsense and tailored to you. They put your workouts and you put your diet in the same book so you have a written history of what worked. With diet guidance (eat these, avoid those) and focus on safe technique (arms in, back straight) results are apparent within the first couple of weeks. They are supportive and friendly without being overly familiar or patronizing, even when you make mistakes. Now that my time is nearly up, I will be transitioning into a once a week plan and do the rest of my workouts on my own, which they are happy to accommodate. By far my best gym experience ever. read more

I found PPT and Khino after looking a outstanding Yelp reviews. I have always enjoyed working with a trainer to keep me motivated and help with muscle definition. Khino is by far the most knowledgeable trainer I have ever worked with. I am training for my first half marathon and he set me up with a nutritional plan along with a 12 week running plan. I am down 12 pounds after working with him for 6 weeks/2 times per week. He is flexible with location/times which I also needed for my crazy work schedule. The workouts are challenging but the results are well worth it. I can't not recommend Khino enough! read more

I love my weekly training session with Khino! Everyone at the gym is super nice, and it's a great environment to work out. Khino is knowledgeable not only in exercise but in nutrition; he always has great advice on how to eat right, and motivational tips to keep me going during the week. I started running again after a long hiatus and I feel confident and strong from my workouts, to keep running and racing every now and then. read more

PPTWL ROCKS! I've been working with Nick for the past 2 years. I've lost 35 lbs and gained tons of muscle. More importantly I have enough energy to do anything that I want to do! Last summer I hiked 3 10K+ ft mountains and did a 4 day hike to Maccu Pichu. My wife and I do group sessions, which is great because it's something we are able to do together. Nick does a great job customizing our sessions to meet our very different physical needs. I highly recommend PPTWL to reach your goals! read more

Working out with Nick at Portland Personal Training has been the best thing I've ever done for my health and fitness. He provided personal attention from the very beginning, learning about about my physical and mental limitations and giving me the guidance to overcome them. Nick also understands real life. He wasn't a dictator about my schedule or what I ate but he provided me with positive encouragement to make good decisions and gave me strategies to balance my social life, and my love of bar food, with my fitness goals. As I got stronger and more fit, he continued to challenge me so that I would continue to see results. He never got lazy so I wouldn't get lazy. There's no doubt that I had to be committed to doing the work but his support and guidance helped me be successful with the grand plan. read more

Carlee is the accountability coach! She keeps it fun and interesting and, most importantly, challenging. She inspires you to do more and has a keen sense for knowing what your limit is and pushing you to that point, which leads to amazing results. read more

I've been participating in small group training with PPT for 6 years and I can't even imagine what kind of shape I'd be in now if it weren't for them! I've recently switched from evening group to daytime group and I'm working with Carmen. She's upbeat, knowledgeable, friendly, and always smiling! Our small group includes people of varying ages and levels of fitness. Carmen is adept at making sure each of us is working out at our optimal level. The place is welcoming and friendly, without high pressure. I can't recommend it enough! And there's plenty of parking since they've opened a second parking lot. Two thumbs up for Portland Personal Training!! read more

There is fitness and then there is whole-body health. Nick isn't your usual personal trainer, he wants you to achieve your fitness goals, but also doesn't want to push you into routines that don't work for you. He helps you figure out what will work for your unique body, limitations, and goals. His knowledge about healthy eating, the mechanics of body movement, lasting weight-loss, and the emotional challenges of starting and upholding a fitness journey is endless. The best part is, he's just there to guide you as your start learning for yourself. I've got some strange body limitations that have kept me from being active my whole life. It turned into a cycle of feeling like I never could be that person who goes to the gym. Nick helped to prove me wrong! I've transformed my fitness game in one of the most busy, stressful times of my life with his guidance. I've made incredible strides, am getting insanely strong, have lost a TON of weight (cheers to those next goals we have in sight!), made the gym a place where I get to check out of the world and into myself, and found a way to have fun while doing it! I cannot recommend Nick and Portland Personal Training enough! If you are looking for a trainer that isn't going to judge you and isn't going to fit you into a small box of what "should" work, sign up for the free evaluation session. I felt so comfortable and supported in that first session that it made it easy to see why so many people rave about this team! read more

I signed up for a free session with Nick requesting mainly my body fat composition stats. I've had many experiences with personal trainers and none of them were necessarily bad but I always felt less than impressed. Nick, however, impressed me with his knowledge but even more with his people skills. Trainers, in my experience, have a way of seeing clients as a project, something that needs to be fixed. I don't feel respected by that mentality. Nick heard my concerns and validated them. I'll definitely return! read more

I loved the customized workout plan that was created for my body. Saw great results right away. Thanks Carmen for helping motivate me and get my body back in shape! read more

I've had a couple personal trainers prior and I can say that this place is not your typical gym. They genuinely strive to help you reach your goals and answer all your health and fitness questions. These guys know what they are doing and love it too. You will learn so much in addition to feeling great. read more

I wanted to try working with a trainer to help me get back into working out, and I'm so glad I picked Portland Personal Training! Sean is an excellent trainer with a wealth of knowledge on diet practices, stretches, exercises and a lot more. He was patient and helpful with my posture related back pain and really helped me get my diet back on track, he even wrote me a meal plan on my request! Having a trainer really helped me be more accountable and motivated me to show up for workouts, Sean was also really friendly and fun to talk to so that helped make an hour go by quickly and painlessly (most of the time ;). I'd recommend Sean to anyone for their personal training needs without a doubt! read more

I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Khino and couldn't be happier with the results. I have the body I've always wanted and am more motivated than ever! read more

Nick has completely changed my attitude toward taking care of myself, all for the better! I'd assumed that we would just work on improving my fitness level, but Nick really worked with me to create a program that took into account my everyday life -- food selections, sleep, stress, etc. These changes have been incredibly helpful, both to my brain and my fitness level. Now, I look forward to the gym and to challenging myself every week to meet new goals (both in the gym and outside it). I'm really happy I get to train with Nick!! read more

I've been working with Khino for 6 weeks and could not be more pleased with my progress!! I've lost 24 lbs! Scales don't lie. I felt like I had no idea what I was doing when I went to the gym, I've never been a fitness freak but I've been trying to get in shape for almost 2 years with no avail.... Diet, form and a willingness to learn about the body are key. It's not just about the weight loss... Dealing with clinical depression for a long period of time lead to very negative effects on my physical health, to the point that I felt weak going up a flight of stairs... in just the 6 weeks working with Khino, I am able to sprint up a flight of stairs without a wink! My entire well-being has been strengthened and that is priceless. Khino is fantastic; very knowledgeable, and has never made me feel awkward or inadequate no matter how weak I've felt... He checks in and makes me feel like he cares about my goals just as much as I do. The entire staff is very friendly and encouraging. Basically, the last 6 weeks of training has been the best decision I've made in my life and I look forward to many more weeks! THANK YOU KHINO and PPT! read more

From my first session with Nick from Portland Personal Training and Weight Loss on up to today I have learned a lot and I'm so much healthier. I have lost 25 pounds and have noticed that I'm getting stronger and I feel great. I wouldn't have been able to get the same results by myself and I'm happy that I have Nick helping me along the way to reach my goals read more
