I started a training course at Misfit Gym about three weeks ago. Kyle has been a wonderful coach,…read moreand his training has been great as my husband and I step into the sport of CrossFit. The environment has been very friendly and welcoming. They have a lot of classes that will suit anyone's schedule. I emailed Misfit Gym to gather more information, and Kyle responded within a few hours. He was very kind and invited us to their Sweaty Saturday class. We showed up for that class, and Kyle got us all set up for our first CrossFit session! He allowed us to be part of his group and explained everything from start to finish. He then got us started with a three-week training course to learn all the techniques. I'm looking forward to becoming more fit, healthy, and being part of the growing community at Misfit Gym!

My surgery went great. It is now two months after my surgery date and I have returned to Pilates. I feel great! I believe that the work I've done at Springboard Pilates has made a huge difference in the surgery and recovery. The team of instructors at Springboard are very knowledgeable and have been able to help me customize my work so it always supported my body's needs. Thank you Team Springboard Pilates!

I moved to Portland about two and a half years ago and was hoping that I could find a great,…read moreclassical Pilates studio. Springboard was-and remains-the answer. Meredith and her staff are skilled, sensitive, and fun. Meredith, especially, has an intuitive sense of what the body in front of her needs-the hallmark of a great Pilates teacher. I recommend Springboard to anyone who wants to feel better, move better, or look better. Beginners to advanced, no matter how long-or how little-you've sat on the sofa, there's a class or workout here for everyone. What you won't find is elitism or snobbery-you'll never feel judged or like you're in a competition. On a personal note, I was stricken with stage 3 bladder cancer last year, and struggled to find my way back to health. With patience, steady encouragement, and a ton of kindness, Meredith has overseen my slow and painful return to form. As much as I am grateful for my life, I am grateful to Meredith for helping me return to it.

Wow what a work out! They have two locations. One in Portland and in Scarborough. This place is the…read morebomb. I have only attended the Scarborough location so far. Dynamics provides two different group classes. An introduction/ beginner class that is 45 minutes long and a regular class for an hour. They have a ton of different classes throughout the day to accommodate people working. The classes usually begin with a warm up and stretching and then they lead into a few different circuit workouts. Every time a go there is always a new work out or a it has been modified so you are not working out the same part of your body. You will do a lot of things using your own body weight which is a lot harder than it seems. The instructors are very nice and will motivate you and not in a condescending way. $7.50 for one class or 6 dollars a class (60 dollars) if you purchase the 10 class pass which is a steal, cash or check only, no cards taken. Bring a water bottle and change of shoes if you can. The first time walking threw the door is the hardest part. Embrace it! They want you to succeed there and so do you.

This is the same business as Dynamics Fitness in Portland, which I have already gave a 5-star…read morereview for, but I wanted to emphasize that it's really a great place for anyone looking for a challenging, dynamic workout! Every class is different and you won't be bored. The Scarborough location is a little bigger than the Portland location, and from my experience tends to be less crowded. I am a regular at the 6am Tuesday/Thursday class with trainer Jaime, who is kind, motivating, organized and really just all around great! Their website has their schedule with all of the boot camp classes. They rarely cancel unless there are extreme weather conditions. I have noticed that a lot of other gyms/trainers cancel boot camps last-minute so I really appreciate this about Dynamics. They have regular boot camps which last an hour, and basic boot camps which are 45 minutes. Boot camp goes like this: A 10 minute warm up with drills like butt-kicks, lateral squats, skips, and ending with bear-crawls. Dynamic stretch is next followed by resistance band-work to strengthen your butt and hips. Then comes the circuits which work out your whole body and keep your heart-rate elevated. Sometimes there is back and forth partner work, and sometimes stations with TRX, KetlleBells, Medicine Balls, Body Weight, Fitness Bands, etc... Examples include TRX Rows, Push ups, Tricep presses, medicine ball shuffles, kettle bell swings, sprinter sit ups, squat jumps, dead lifts... etc.. You can always modify any exercise. There is usually a finisher which includes something awful like Burpees :) After a quick stretch, you are out the door having accomplished an awesome work out! There is water for sale for $1 but I always bring a full water bottle and towel. You can go at your own pace and everyone in the class is kind and encouraging. For first timers, try the basic boot camp and work your way up. You won't be disappointed!

I am def not in the best shape but have wanted to get back there and Ryan is great with working with all abilities but you get a great work out in! He works with times and different days as well! Love it here!

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. I can't get enough or say enough good things. The group boot camp…read moreclasses are a STEAL. Since I'm a student, I'm constantly looking for the best deals for any and everything, including gyms/workout classes. I have yet to find a workout as satisfying or inexpensive as Dynamics boot camp classes. You can get a single class for $7.50 or a 10 class pack for $60. You can also share your classes with other people, so you could split a pack with someone, which not many places allow you to do! I have yet to leave this place without shaking a bit and already knowing I'll be very sore the next day. No matter how many people are in the class (I've been in classes with as many as 30 or as few as 6), it's always a good workout. I've also taken classes from a few of the different trainers and love them all. They each have a slightly different style, but you'll get a great total body workout no matter what. The last thing I love about these classes is that there is ZERO judgement from anyone - your fellow attendees or the trainers. The trainers always give options for modifications or show ways to make the move easier (or harder). Everyone is going through the class to the best of their ability and all classes are completed with clapping and high fives all around. The trainers even make sure to go around to everyone and give them a high five and say "good job!" Seriously check this place out if you can!!!

On gloomy summer days or too-cold winter days, we head to Triple Jump Fitness (formerly Tumble…read moreTikes) with our little ones to work off some pent-up energy. On their balance beams, trampolines, bars, ball pit and on and on, the kids have a blast and the staff keeps the energy and bouncy music high. Off to one side is a separate personal training area for adults tho there are some classes that are integrated for both children and parents. We have attended for the open gym days, a 5-week session of gymnastics and birthday parties (one we hosted). As someone who could never make it to the top of the rope at a traditional gymnastic venue as a kid, I adore this introduction to tumbling for my toddlers. Safe, fun, clean, reasonable and the friendliest staff around. I look forward to checking out one of the parent/child classes soon!

Knowledgeable and caring coaching staff and an amazing facility!…read more I'm the director of an organization that provides adaptive and inclusive fitness training for coaches and medical professionals. CrossFit Casco Bay was a host for our seminar and would be my choice of gyms if I lived in the Portland, Maine area. The gym facility is well equipped with just about any type of training aid you could ever hope for.  The gym is clean, organized, and is very spacious for a functional fitness style facility.  There's showers and plenty of parking out front.  The space used to be a garage and so it has these amazing garage doors that let in a ton of natural light and open up to allow fresh air flow. These people just get it!  They're caring and easily connect with their clients.  They also are highly educated in fitness training and continue to pursue more knowledge to enable them to pass that onto their members.  This is the gym I use when traveling to the area and if I lived anywhere near Portland, I would definitely be a member!  Go check them out!

Add to that the fact that I have a genuine spinal condition as well as a need for routine pain medications and you would think something like crossfit is out of my league. However all of the instruction and all of the coaches have been amazingly clear, concise, helpful... and every coach there has been encouraging and friendly! I'm starting out more than 300 pounds. And they are doing everything they can to show me how to make it easier until I'm ready to do it the more challenging way. Many of the members I met were talking about activities they do together outside of the gym! It is LGBTQ IA community friendly and many members, including myself were happily discussing our families and same gendered spouses. I am really looking forward to the changes this exercise and community environment can bring to my every day life.

I'm overweight, I eat bad, I drink too much... and this class almost killed me!! In a totally good way. It's hard, really hard. You work at a high intensity pace for 60 minutes and can burn up to 800 calories. It is no joke. You can make modifications of things if you can't do certain things, but you will still work hard. You will sweat like you never have before! The thing I loved the most was that it was a great work out, but I didn't wake up in lots of pain. I felt great everyday. The trainers are very good at their jobs and so welcoming every day. I recommend to anyone that wants a great workout in a beautiful gym with wonderful trainers.

My daughter(6) has been doing martial arts and I have been doing kickboxing here for 2.5 years and we love it. Kickboxing classes are a great work out and are tons of fun.
