They have classes with instructors if you are learning, and the instructors are amazing. I had an opportunity to train with Sam sadrake and she is an amazing coach. The only issue is the classes get booked out very fast and not a lot of them are available during weekends. Some of the group classes are useless because I registered for a group class which was for a month, and in them for two weekends there's no class and the classes are available only for two weekends which essentially means that I pay for an entire month for two classes and on the other hand the individual classes are like 16$ *2 per person which is way less than 126$ for a month of two classes. They really need to work on operations of managing the classes because the customer service team is way confused when we ask more questions and they aren't helpful at all. As a facility, it's very well maintained with all the facilities. But I eventually end up not using them because of their operational inefficiencies. Hopefully they get better.

Ah yes step aside, velvet rope... we're talking about the illustrious Multnomah Athletic Club where…read moredowntown Portland trades its flannel for fine tailoring and a touch of unapologetic luxury. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a world where sweat glistens a bit more elegantly. The MAC isn't just a gym it's a sanctuary of stature. You don't simply walk in... oh no, you belong here. Membership isn't a convenience, it's a declaration. Behind those doors lies a realm of polished marble, hushed conversations, and the faint, dignified clink of perfectly chilled water glasses. Inside, it's sleek immaculately so. Machines aligned like soldiers of fortune, locker rooms that whisper spa-day indulgence, and a calm that feels imported from somewhere far more exclusive than downtown Portland. This is where ambition meets tranquility... where CEOs, legacy names, and those in-the-know escape the city's chaos without ever leaving it. And the vibe? Think Nob Hill with a gym membership and a trust fund. There's no chaos, no clanging weights echoing into oblivion just refined motion, deliberate pace, and an understanding that wellness, like wealth, should be curated. So if you find yourself wandering downtown, peering in like Gatsby outside the green light, just know: this isn't merely a place to work out. It's a lifestyle one you don't stumble into... you ascend into. Lifestyles of the fit and the fabulous, darling.

The a la Grivois cocktail started the experience on a high note: amaro and vermouth together make for a velvety sweetness. The house green soup was a winner, I'm sure the French Onion would be also. We were there for prime rib night and their version rivals that at Clyde's: a hearty cut and full of flavor. At first glance, I was disappointment to see scalloped-type potatoes, but these were the best I've had. The warm bread and salad were above par. Great service by one of the long time waiters.

Michael emphasizes safety, subtly pushing you, but never forcing the next step until you're ready. His sessions are strenuous, but always enjoyable. And conversing with him between sets about sports, history, training, ... you name it ... is so much fun! He's the best!

When I arrive to the studio for my private sessions, I am always greeted by the owner Joanne. She is always friendly, professional and very welcoming. I attend private sessions with Krista McCurdy.

The personal attention is exactly what I needed and my progress is very noticeable compared to the traditional clinical physical therapy I was involved in after my cervical spine surgery 10 months ago. I recommend this studio for private sessions if you are suffering from an injury, recovering from surgery or have certain physical limitations that make it difficult to participate in group classes.

I had taken group lessons for a couple summers in 2013-2014 (a beginner in my 30s) but felt like I would be starting from scratch now, and set a goal to become a 2.5 player by the end of my package. Well I'm happy to say that, by the end of my 20 lessons, I have surpassed that 2.5 goal and Coach Brian is the reason! With coaching style that is based on positive reinforcement and encouragement, our lessons were highly enjoyable and I could see and feel that I was progressing quickly. Brian alternates between various drills and each lesson we would cycle through practicing ground strokes at the T, from the service line and at the net, serving, vollying, as well as drills to improve my reaction time, form, agility, etc. Brian's training has ensured that I'm not just good at one type of play or stroke and that I will be ready for all styles of game play. I'm so grateful to have worked with him and am completely obsessed with Tennis now!" Karen-Oregon

The CEO, Scott Baxter claims there is a disclosure on the site that warns of no refunds but he's lying - there isn't. And even if there was, they call you to get your credit card number so unless you happen to be their web site when they call, you wouldn't be aware of a "no refund" policy anyway. They don't disclose that over the phone. DECEPTIVE. DISHONEST. UNETHICAL. BUYER BEWARE.

This place has been an absolute nightmare. I strongly advise never going to Evolution Healthcare…read moreand Fitness, especially dealing with Sabrina Hagg. Before I ever became a patient, I went in in person and made it very clear: check my insurance first. I told them if my insurance covered the visits, I would move forward. After over a week, they contacted me and confidently told me my insurance was verified, that I would only pay $25 per visit, and that I was covered for 10 visits per year. Based on THEIR confirmation, I agreed. Now I am being hit with monthly bills out of nowhere. Here are the facts: I already paid $50 out of pocket My insurance was charged $602.66 I then received an additional bill for $205.56 No clear explanation. No warning. No transparency. I have called multiple times, left voicemails, and tried to resolve this like an adult. No one calls back. No one takes responsibility. No one follows up. The complete lack of professionalism and accountability is shocking. Even worse, their own website lists: New Patient Chiropractic (60 min): $200 Chiropractic (30 min) So how do you justify charging insurance over $600 for a basic visit? This feels misleading at best and unethical at worst. If they had been honest from the beginning, I would have never agreed to treatment. Instead, I trusted them to verify my insurance correctly--and that trust was clearly misplaced. This experience has been stressful, frustrating, and infuriating. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

I visited this location six years ago while still living in Seattle, but returned this year several times. It really hit the spot, it is located at Pearl District that the walk back to my hotel Benson is cherry on top. Great neighborhood that has everything a girl could ask for, organic grocery store, organic healthy eats, shops... Back to the Bar. I never did online reservations but there was always warm smiles from the front desk while they put me in the class.( This is not always the case fromBar studios) The class is challenging as usual but instructors are patient with kind and encouraging voice (again, not always the case from Bar), I just love this place very much!

I never take a Bar class afterward and say to yourself... I wish I didn't do that! In fact, my body and soul smile and sing. Hope you will feel the power of Bar through this awesome studio!

Be inspired by your instructors, and trust that your boundaries and knowledge of your body and what's best for you are respected. I've been doing barre workouts for 10+ years in multiple locations across the country (NYC, Chicago) - I've never stepped out of a studio because my boundaries weren't respected by an instructor that ignored me saying no to a correction. Because I knew the method she suggested wasn't challenging enough for my body. I requested my refund for the remainder of my package and was told no. I would at least appreciate an apology as my "no" for a correction (said multiple times) was ignored. So much for owning and honoring our bodies. If your fitness level is above average- this isn't a place I would recommend. Iso you know and trust your body- this isn't a place I'd recommend. If you're looking for an effective highly challenging workout- this isn't a place I'd recommend. On top of all of that- the classes are overcrowded, so there's not a ton of space. If you're looking to make small movements and feel a bit of muscle soreness and feel like you got your workout done, and don't know much about your body or fitness- this is the place for you!

Climbs (both boulder and ropes) are creative and interesting. There's enough wall so that you get a good variety of angles and they're refreshed enough that you rarely go in and say you have nothing to work on.

It's street parking and I never have parked more than two blocks away, but trying to read all the different parking signs at night is a massive pain. That being said, I do enjoy PRG NE more than Beaverton. Unpopular opinion I'm sure. Beaverton seems more sanitized. NE just feels more homey and has more character.
