PDXstrength started as an outdoor bootcamp in Cathedral park. I saw a gap that needed to be filled, and wanted to build a class based fitness studio that provided a place to build healthy relationships with our bodies and fitness.  

As the cold weather approached every fall, our participants begged to find a warm indoor space to keep the party going! Established in 2012, PDXStrength has quickly become one of the top rated gyms in Portland, OR! PDXstrength is woman owned small business that’s an inclusive and safe space for the St. Johns community to workout.

We strive to deliver only the best to our clients in terms of Classes, Personal Training, Nutritional Advice and of course a fun experience! PDXstrength is a positive and welcoming community. We are an anti- diet culture gym that believes fitness is for EVERYBODY! We get asked if we are a Crossfit gym, and we are NOT.  Come join us, learn, get strong, socialize and have a blast!

Testimonials

Absolutely love this place. The vibes and community are immaculate 😎 . Classes are fun and great motivation to stick to a routine. After just a few months I feel strong, confident and can dance for hours 😂because of this gym. Can’t recommend it enough
I’m a newbie in the gym scene and was feeling a bit anxious about putting theory into action. As a newbie, healthcare provider and parent to young kids (dynamic schedule), training with Laura has been a dream! Walking into my first session, I had a passerby wish me a great workout. Laura is so approachable and fun to chat with and has a clear and confident routine every time. I consistently leave the gym feeling strong all over in a balanced way I didn’t realize was possible. Moving towards group classes, I feel welcomed and comfortable. The music is energized and everyone speaks highly of their experience. I look forward to seeing where this new habit and community takes me!
This little gym lifts a big stack! Great classes - challenging but accessable for all skill levels because the instructors will fit your workout to your interests and skills. Are you looking for a place to have fun with good people? It's here! Are you looking for more focus, more intensity? You can find it here, too. I've been a gym rat since my Army days forty years ago, and PDXstrength is, across the board, the most welcoming, most challenging, most fun place I've ever trained. Come on and try a class! I think you'll agree!
