Recently I made the fearless decision to change my career path…read more In order to begin this path, I had a deadline to meet for a physical ability test. With little gym training, I had to search for a personal trainer and fast! I found Burntown Fitness! Personal trainers Kisar and Traci have the expertise and patience to get you through your challenge, whatever that may be. In less than 3 months, I successfully completed the physical ability test exceeding minimum qualifications, and was able to be tested remotely at their facility. I have interviews lined-up in law enforcement! I am beyond grateful!

This review is a long time coming. I've been going to Burntown Fitness since around the time they…read moreopened. I was looking for a gym that was close to my house, and that had early morning sessions to fit my schedule. What I didn't expect is an amazing facility, with a fantastic training staff, an owner who cares about every single one of his clients on a personal level, and a clientele with that get-it-done attitude to keep me motivated. I am the kind of person that needs a trainer to tell me what to do, to push my limits, and take an interest in my health and fitness goals. I feel like Kisar (the owner) is always trying to improve the classes by bringing in new and fresh ideas to the table, which is great, considering I really enjoy challenges. And if you work out with him, be prepared to get REKT. That guy pushes you to your limits, every time!! Burntown also has nutrition programs to help you kick start your journey. And the trainers... can't be spoken about highly enough. Each one is FANTASTIC and adds their own flavor and style to their classes (s/o to Emily who has a booming/motivating voice, who takes time to correct my form and lets me know if something looks to easy for me). I love a gym that takes time to learn about each members goals, and help them achieve them. And I love a great community that supports one another, and you get that here with Burntown!

I really enjoyed this gym. It felt really welcoming and the employees were super nice. The waiver…read moreprocess was easy and didn't take long at all. 22$ for students and around 4$ for shoes but you can be there all day if you want. I liked that there were beginner and advanced options and the walls weren't too high because I can be scared of jumping down.

Ridiculously crowded, difficult to find parking and the staff (cashier) was a real a-hole dictator…read more No customer service skills whatsoever, really spoiled the experience.

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.

I have been in and out (well more out than in) of gyms for easily over 20 years. All through my…read moretwenties and some of my thirties. I've played sports and now in Portland, live on a bicycle. Now in my forties, I need to remain active. I went to a Yelp event and by default, I won free foundations classes and a one month membership. I had never done crossfit. Enter a little energized sparkplug by the name of Alex, and you have Mt Tabor CrossFit's reason for being. She is encouraging, positive and great at correcting your form. I have always been used to isolated workouts, so getting used to circuit training is a bit different but, so far I've adapted well. It is just me and one other in our class and we've caught on pretty quick. So far, so good and if you are up for trying something new, go see Alex. Enjoy.

Prior to coming here I had thought crossfit consisted of running, cycling, and swimming ... Boy,…read morewas I wrong! It's high intensity, short duration that trains you to be a well-rounded athlete, hence the name Crossfit. Alex is a little fire-cracker of a coach and she's wonderful at explaining the movements, I love the support I get from Alex plus cheers from fellow classmate! The workouts can seem intimidating but it is modified to your fitness level ... If you are looking for a challenge and see what your limits are, this may be the place worth checking out, it is a very competitive environment but you are mostly competing against yourself.

This is a locally owned gym. Its awesome:…read more 1. Lots and lots of weights. Stations, free weights. Ropes, bands. You name it, they have it. 2. Clean. Clean. Clean. It's well maintained and I believe the cleanest gym I've been to. 3. Affordable. 35 bucks a month. 4. Locally owned. Not some corporate soulless place.

He was absolutely great and we immediately fell in love with the whole gym layout and equipment available. We went back the next day with a guest pass and loved how clean the whole place was and how all the members were nice and followed the gym etiquette. If we lived in town this would definitely be our spot!

I've had training sessions with trainer Logan Steelman at Vive Fitness…read more I have a tight schedule as student with a chronic illness that drains my energy quickly -- because of that, I've always been intimidated by the gym environment. However, training with Logan really made me comfortable with the gym. After my injury, he gave me a customized, simple, slow routine with consideration of my low energy levels. We started off with simple balancing exercises to strengthen with my physical therapy exercises. He is also knowledgeable in nutrition as well that is not just limited to fitness and has helped me create meal plans.

Today is January 1, 2026 and I just cancelled my membership after 4 years . I loved it so why…read morecancel? I watched all the best coaches leave. Turnover at this gym is high. I also watched as the gym got dirtier. I mentioned it to the owner and he didn't care. The final straw was as a new, clean F45 opened right down the street. BTW, they gouge you with a "30-day cancellation" so even though I had paused my membership (which costs $15/month) I still have to pay for a full month I won't use. I loved the workouts and the gym in the beginning. But like most workouts (barre, CrossFit), this trend is over and a new one begins. I would never have left if the owner treated his people and his investment better.

I signed up for a free class, and was texted that they no longer can fit me in the window for that…read moreday, i then saw a $30 charge on my card (they tell you to put ur card info in order to join the free class) while emphasizing greatly it is free. I got like 8 emails from this place and none said anything about a fee? Will be disputing, but attended a Barre class and loved it somewhere else!
