I've been going to ADAPT for a few years now and couldn't imagine my life without it! I originally joined for long standing neck and shoulder pain and have been stronger and more active than I have been in probably my entire life. Every trainer is amazing at what they do. Before this I was not a "gym person" and now I am! Totally worth the money! read more

I love Adapt! Caitlyn, Jessica, Carly and Shelton are the trainers I've worked with and all of them are amazing! I participate in their small group training and fitness classes and each class I learn something new. I highly recommend Adapt! The experience is so much better than the usual suspects (24 hour fitness, crunch, etc.). Worth every dollar! This is a place where you can honestly invest in your health! read more

I have been attending Adapt for almost a year and I can't recommend it highly enough. I have been able to return to running pain free and am moving so much better and am getting stronger! Amazing team and so supportive! This is the gym you go to for long term health- their focus is functional movement - if you are looking for a singular goal - like a Kardashian booty - this might not be the place for you. If you are looking for overall strength, mobility and movement for a lifetime - this is the place. There are people who have been going here for 10+ years. Lots of grey hairs and people moving well and strength training long into 60's, 70s and beyond. That inspires me and I want to be moving that well at that age! They also have a great youth athlete program to help fix those imbalances in those younger athletes. read more

Every single staff member I have interacted with has been respectful and supportive of my complex issues with movement. They are truly experts and wonderful people making a real difference in the world. read more

Love Adapt!! Running again pain free thanks to them! This is a great place to get back to doing what you love pain free.

Training with Jessica Ho- The blind leading the blind I didn't realize how terrible my experience at Adapt was until I left and hired a trainer who is actually qualified to assist me with my goals. I've learned a lot about this industry and about what makes a good trainer both from my experience working with Jessica and from my experience with my new trainer. From what I understand, the bar to entry to become a trainer is quite low. This ends up meaning that many of us clients are unsuspecting guinea pigs for unqualified trainers. This is really frustrating when you're paying a considerable amount of money and putting a lot of trust in someone. I worked with Jessica for several months- a trainer that I now can confidently say is in DESPERATE need of a trainer of her own. I got absolutely no results whatsoever. I came to her with the goal of building strength overall, shaping my glutes, and toning my body. While I had some reservations seeing as those goals are obviously not ones she has accomplished on her own, I hired her anyway because I didn't know any better. I now understand that if a trainer hasn't accomplished those goals on their own, they are really not an authority to help you do that either. In the time I worked with her my metrics did not change at all. My strength increased very minimally. My weight and measurements did not budge. In only a month with a new trainer I have experienced greater results and learned more than in the entire time I worked with Jessica. I found Jessica's training to be ineffective, unimaginative, and a complete waste of money. She is spacy, communicates poorly, and seems way more invested in herself than in her clients. Nutrition, which I now understand to be a huge factor in attaining the results I want, was not even a blip on her radar. She has absolutely no knowledge of how to build glutes, which was my main objective. It's frustrating to me that someone can become a trainer simply because THEY enjoy working out, regardless of whether or not they are actually qualified to assist you with your goals. I'm frustrated that I wasted so much time and money, and that Adapt feels it's okay to pair very unqualified trainers with unsuspecting clients. When hiring a trainer to help you build a great body, I now DO believe it is fair to examine THIER body as evidence that they actually know how to do this. They are a walking reflection of their training knowledge and ability to help you get where you want to be. I now understand this. Training with Jessica is very much exemplary of the blind leading the blind. She has absolutely no knowledge whatsoever when it comes to body recomposition or building strength. Worst money I've ever wasted. Do your research and hire a REAL trainer. read more

I've hurt myself with a few really stupid accidents and someone recommended ADAPT to me. They're a bit more expensive than I can regularly attend, but they recently did a Groupon which I took advantage of. My favorite thing about the personal training here is that they give you workouts that make sense for you to do between sessions. I feel like Eric really listened to my concerns and is actually helping me recover from my injuries and work in ways that prevent new injuries. I can be athletically intense, to the detriment of my body. The ADAPT workouts really focus on my issues and the healthy way for me to push hard, without causing myself further injury. If I could figure out a way to budget for regular PT sessions here, this would be my regular gym. read more

Great place to do therapy. My wife has done therapy for many years here. They are very specialized to each individual. Stop in and try it out if your in need of a therapist. They have a new updated facility that separates the two sections which is nice! read more

I am absolutely in love with ADAPT Training. After a lifetime of various injuries, from achilles to shoulders, I was in constant pain and unable to most of my favorite sports at the mere age of 24. I have never been able to sit still long enough to allow injuries to heal (which came back to bite me) and other methods of physical therapy never seemed to work so I would just get bored and stop. I spent two and a half months doing private physical therapy sessions before moving into classes. The private sessions were always constructive and the full body/integration exercises are much more effective than the band//muscle-isolation exercises I was used to being assigned by other physical therapists. They even take pictures of your body's alignment at the beginning of each session so you can see the progress over the weeks. After the private sessions I "graduated" into the ADAPT classes. I've never been a fan of other gym classes I have tried, but I had come this far, and I had a groupon. So why not? The first class I ever went to was an integration class and I have been hooked ever since. There's not a lot I will pop out of bed at 5:30 a.m. for, but I have no problem getting up for the 6 a.m. strength and integration classes, and the range class is nice to throw in on occasion, too. Every class is different and far from boring! Overall, my body feels better than it ever and I am in the best shape I have ever been in. My knee pain and shoulder pains are a thing of the past. The staff is all friendly and supportive and the other patrons are welcoming. I continually recommend this place to anyone looking to fix an injury or just have some fun and get in better shape. read more

I love going to Adapt. I don't always get to make it in (it seems like each class I go to I see a lot of the same people, so it seems like most people are regulars). I have only been to the integrated classes and the strength classes monday through thursday and I've only been to the noon and six pm classes. The classes are great. They really modify the movements and keep you motivated so that you don't plateau. They have a great community of exercisers and I know the classes will always challenge me, but not take me too far out of my comfort zone. The later classes usually go a couple minutes over time and the earlier classes generally get out a few minutes early. Also, this isn't the kind of place with a bunch of meat-heads fake benching or squatting incorrectly. Most of the people here seem to really want to lead a healthful lifestyle. That said, I have only met a few young twenty-somethings, most people are a bit older (but not OLD, just not twenty something). Since new year they have also started some new classes, which I haven't tried yet so I will update my review when I get a chance to do those. All in all I love this fitness center, and will continue to go as long as I live around here. read more

The advanced therapy department and Ali the massage therapist are all amazing at Adapt. They are professional, genuinely caring and go above and beyond to help their clients feel comfortable and safe. I feel so greatful and blessed that this business exists to help SCI and other clients with neurological disorders. They are not like other physical therapy companies, that just tell you to do a exercise. They actually get on their hands and knees to help you with range of motion and other exercises that you would not be able to do on your own. read more

Been a member since December of 2016 and gotta say these guys put you to work. I'm a member at multiple gyms and I try to work out on a regular basis but I can never push myself as hard as they push me in that hour I'm there. Highly recommend Adapt if your trying to get in shape for the summer. read more

Great training, this is not your normal gym and it's not a crappy cross fit place this is where you go for intense training to stay on top of you injuries range of motion and to just plain stay in shape. Choreographed exercise routines help keep your body in shape. Coach Cassidy founded this place just after I graduated high school and I got the pleasure of doing this every summer with my teammates, I truly believe this was the reason we won state before it was cool. Fast, flexible and energized is what to expect after your continuous journey through ADAPT Training. read more

This business deserves 0 stars. Calling for information was disappointing to say the least. I spoke with an employee Kirsten Cassidy and she was awful. Her attitude was more than rude, she would not let me finish a sentence, or allow me to gather the information I needed. Good people of Oregon, avoid this toxic place and give good kind people you business. Not people who take out whatever personal issues on you. read more

Amazing place. Great staff and people. It is more than just a workout gym. Your body will thank you for going here!

Please note that Celina G. (1-star rating on 10/62015) not only does not live in Portland but has obviously never been to Adapt. If she had, she too would have given them a 5-star rating. "The good people of Oregon" can see through her obviously vindictive review. I began attending Adapt's therapeutic fitness class in 2011 and have regularly attended ever since. ALL the people who work there are friendly, helpful and skilled at keeping me and my workout classmates healthy and fit. I live near several fitness facilities, yet have chosen instead to drive 12 miles to Adapt for my workouts. It is well worth the drive, and I recommend it to everyone I know who is hoping to get fit, no matter their skill level. read more

These folks are great! Even my MD had good things to say about them. I have been helped a lot with hip and back and shoulder issues. I did note the sour review below and wonder what planet that person was from. These guys are great, personable and helpful. I have talked to Kristen many times and she has been super helpful and courteous. Again, I have to say the sour reviewer is, well just sour. I hope she feels better soon. read more

I don't give five star reviews, but ADAPT is worthy. They offer invigorating, functional, FUN classes, physical therapy, massage, and more. The staff is top-notch, and the facilities are clean and spacious. How good are the classes and programs at ADAPT? I'm a freelance personal trainer and I have been an ADAPT client since 2010. All ages and all levels of fitness could see huge benefit from their programs. read more

I've been attending ADAPT for 11 months and have been very happy here. In the time I've been here, I've dropped 52 pounds and am probably in the best shape I've been in for 15 years, if not longer. The workouts are definitely challenging and the more intensity you bring with you, the better they get. They are also balanced and structured so you aren't just working the same few sets of muscles every time. Plus, I would much rather spend an hour of my life running around the gym climbing over and around things, running and jumping than on some hamster wheel of an exercise machine. The people- Honestly, the people here, staff and members, are great. Contrary to Celina G's remarks below, Kristen is actually a very nice person. The three trainers I've worked with most (Courtney, Kam and Megan) have all been very encouraging and very supportive. Equally important is they take the time to correct your form or help you modify it if you need to. The other members at the gym help make the experience good. When I first started coming to ADAPT, they made me feel welcome and encouraged me as I pushed myself through workout after workout. Once the results started showing, everyone was quick to compliment me on what I had done. ADAPT also has nutritional advice available. It's one of the core elements of the Burn Camp and the AFS. I attended Burn Camp this year and learned a lot of good things from it. In fact, I still apply a lot of what I learned on a daily basis and it definitely helps me maintain a fairly rigorous fitness regime now. I would highly recommend this business to anyone even thinking about it. read more

ADAPT Training is an amazing place all around. Not only do they offer fun fitness classes and personal training, they also offer wonderful nutrition counseling and personalized programs for anyone! Highly recommended for any and all! read more

I started attending ADAPT fitness classes because of a groupon. I never would have signed up otherwise, but once I started my one month of fitness classes I was hooked. The have fitness classes, sports training, personal training (have seen someone doing boxing with a trainer lately), and physical therapy. They have a wheelchair rugby team! The fitness classes change every day. I've been going since June and I recall Mt. St. Helens day (don't step on the hot lava!), dodge ball day, etc. All classes seem very balanced for cardio, strength, and fun--but be prepared to work hard, although it's easy to work at your own level. The tall staircase will totally kick your arse. It's the first class that I've actually wished I could go every day. Seriously! They have fitness classes early in the AM, noon, and 6pm plus others. I belong to Bally's too and am tired of their lethargic instructors and limited class offerings. ADAPT will make you work hard with a group of people largely in their 30s or more and 50/50 men and women. They also have treadmills and other equipment available anytime they're open. There is no glamour here--just a good fun workout. Also, I've been impressed by the knowledge of the instructors. read more

I was introduced to ADAPT when I started suffering from runner's knee during undergrad. They got me back to running without pain and continue to be helpful anytime I come in with an issue, guiding me back to full functioning. The trainers are knowledgable and involved, the workouts are different every time, and the culture is supportive and fun. The emphasis on function and alignment create a structure for you to push yourself as hard as you want and find your body's best, without injury. I can't recommend this place highly enough! read more
