I am so glad that I discovered SH/FT. I first met Tom and Rebecca, and SH/FT, during a pop-up pub run they hosted a few years back. When they opened the new space up at the Training Center, my fiance and I started attending the small group classes and those classes have had such a positive impact on my overall fitness. I am an avid distance runner who runs everyday of the week and that was ultimately the extent of my physical exercise. With that exercise regimen I was starting to feel aches and pains on a fairly regular basis. At the time, I just thought those types of aches and pains came with getting older, but that's when SH/FT changed it all around for me. While my body feels QUITE sore the day or two following my training session, I feel my whole body has become stronger and healthier as a result of the work of the trainers at SH/FT. There was about a 6-week period I couldn't attend my weekly class due to a variety of reasons, and the aches and pains returned. A trip back to SH/FT really helped my body feel better and stronger. I can't thank Tom, Rebecca and all the other trainers enough! Everyone over there has a great, upbeat attitude and they all love helping everyone else out. Aside from the trainers and the work they do, the overall facility is pretty sweet. There is a ton of great space to work out in, a decent-sized stretching area with foam rollers, a nice area to lounge around pre- or post-workout, and the locker rooms are very clean and sleek. I highly recommend stopping by and seeking out the advice of any of the SH/FT trainers. read more

I started with Shift soon after Tom and Rebecca moved to Portland. I went to them primarily because I wanted to be able to run, which I hadn't been able to do for over 20 years due to knee pain. After diagnosing the issue, Tom told me that he was confident that he could have me running again by working on exercises that focused on the glutes, hip, etc. He was absolutely right and I'm now entering races with zero knee pain. I also entered my first triathalon this year at the age of 54 and did relatively well - I wouldn't have contemplated doing this a few years ago. Besides focusing heavily on injury preventive exercises and active stretching the training has also greatly improved my stamina. They are extremely knowledgeable trainers with solid credentials having trained trainers at one of NYCs most prestigious health club chains - Portland is lucky to have them. read more

I first discovered Shift when seeking some strength training to round out my triathlon training routine. Now, almost three years later, every time I leave the Shift gym I thank my lucky stars that Tom and Rebecca decided to set up shop here in Portland. Whether I am looking to energize my morning with an early workout, or unwind and destress after a hard day at work - a session/class at Shift always does the trick. The gym and the equipment are always clean and the locker rooms (and the entire gym space) are beautiful. When it comes to establishing a sustainable fitness routine, the Shift training team checks all the boxes - they're friendly, supportive, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable. I've trained/taken fitness classes at a number of places in Portland - and without question, Shift is my favorite! read more

I am in my 50s with four grandchildren. Unintentionally my weight has creeped up to an unacceptable place; I am not as concerned about my appearance as I am with my continued health and mobility for the next (possible) 20+ years. I researched personal trainers: I wanted strength training, and to improve my balance and increase my endurance. I found Shift through their website and read about their business, sent an email to inquire, and received a rapid response. I have been impressed with every aspect of their services that I have accessed since my initial meeting. I believe their services are reasonably priced, flexible and adaptable to individual needs, and the gym space is bright, private (2nd floor). So impressed I recommended to a relative and we are both customers now. Great place. read more

I have been working out at Shift for the past two years and have been beyond impressed with the total dedication and intense personal focus of the trainers there. I have had knee issues for most of my adult life and have worked out with other trainers over the years but the experience at Shift is totally different. Each training session is personally crafted just for my specific alignment and structural issues and my knee and total body feel the strongest and healthiest that I have felt in years. The gym is clean, bright and well equipped but the special sauce is the professionalism, attention to detail and kindness of the trainers: Tom, Rebecca, Mitch and Kate read more
