I recently had the incredible fortune of finding Crossfit SW Beaverton during my month long stay in…read morePortland. For context, I've been in and out of CrossFit for the past 12 years, and was searching not only at CF boxes, but any sort of gym community to stay active during my month long stay. This gym and community became my home away from home, and honestly wish I had such a community back home. Coaches: To begin Matt, Chrissy and Claire are incredible coaches that not only are extreme athletes themselves, but are also the most patient and friendly instructors that one could wish for in any gym. Programming: Matt does an amazing job with the programming of classes - mixing in weight lifting and high-intensity cardio with scaled options available for any level of athlete to feel their best and leave the gym, glad they came! Community: What stands out to me the most about this gym is the community. From my very first day, the entire community embraced me with open arms. A very special shout out to Kelly, Diana, Faye, Grant, Jon (I know I'm missing so many others!) who really foster all the positivity that I've come to expect in a gym community. In my last 12 years, I've been across more than a dozen gyms and have also coached part-time at many - I can truly say that CrossFit SW is something special. Conclusion: My only regret is that due to a last minute change in work, I had to leave unexpectedly without a proper goodbye, but I know I'll be back here whenever I can! Whether you are a seasoned athlete looking for a new home, or have been on the cusp of getting started again with fitness, I can guarantee you are in the best hands here.

I first moved to Oregon in 2015 and I stuck with a $20/month gym membership until March 2016 when I…read morejoined CrossFit SW Beaverton on a Groupon. I had been searching for a box and the reviews and Groupon made this place too good to pass up. During my first class, I felt the same warmth that I did at my first CF gym and fell in love with CrossFit all over again. Laura and Melissa welcomed me in with open arms and challenged me, encouraging me to grow. I actually moved across the country and back and I go out of my way to come to this box. Since re-joining I have PR'd my front squat and clean and now I'm signing up for my first ever competition! If you are looking for killer workouts and a supportive community, consider coming to Crossfit SW Beaverton!

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.

Volofit by TMB has quickly become my favorite gym, and not only because it's right by our home. The…read moregym is very clean and well-kept and focuses on HIIT- style workouts. Every visit is different - with different focuses, like Endurance, Strength, Upper, Lower, etc. - so you always feel you're working different parts of your body and it never gets boring. That part is great, but what makes this place special is the community that comes with it. Everyone who comes here to workout builds one another up and encourages you. It's been super fulfilling to see others grow stronger and fitter alongside us. The coaches will push you while being supportive, and make sure you are doing each movement correctly. That's something that's really important to me at a gym- getting the corrections needed to do things properly to avoid injury and to get stronger. Each of the coaches takes the time to know your name and something about you so you don't feel like just another head in the class. And, shoutout to Coach Alisha for being the strongest, most badass athlete we know and having great music during class!

The coaches do a great job of helping you with your technique when needed, but also stepping back so you can focus on your workout. There's a different workout every day so it never gets too routine. They have a nice variety of early morning and later in the afternoon. I love that the workouts are exactly 45 minutes. For some reason it's less of a mental barrier to show up and go hard for 45 minutes vs an hour. Guess that means I'll never join an F60.

I have been looking for a good gym in Portland/Tigard/Beaverton area for a while and after trying…read moreseveral different ones, decided to stick with Cascadia Strength. It is all because of great coaches. Ravi, Scott and Joe are very knowledgeable and patient. It is not important for them, if you PR today, the most important thing is to do it properly. I have been doing crossfit for a while, and only after switching to this gym I finally got better at my front squats and split jerks! They help you to correct every mistake you make, know plenty of exercises to work on any muscle group, they can scale any movement and still make you get a great workout, even if you are tapering or recovering. Another thing I love about this gym is how great people are here. Everybody is very friendly, they treat you like a good friend. Working out here is fun, but challenging. If you want to get in shape, fix your nutrition, meet a lot of cool people, get a sense of community, grow to become a better athlete, tackle your first crossfit or running competition - you will get it all at Cascadia Strength.

I was enticed to try this Crossfit gym by the following scam "21 day weight loss challenge for $97…read moreand your money back guaranteed if you don't love it." I went to my first class and didn't love it. It was too intense and my body couldn't handle it. I used to do functional fitness training and absolutely loved how strong it made me, but after having a baby, my body just wasn't the same and I knew I would be risking injury if I continued. Unfortunately I also came down with a cold the day after my first class (thanks to my baby) and I only had a week left of the 21 day challenge by the time I felt better. So I asked the owner for a refund (and told him Id even be happy to pay for the one class I attended and he could give me a partial refund). I am a fair person and didn't want to take advantage by asking for all my money back since I knew it cost them some time to deal with me signing up, etc. He told me he would extend me an extra week but would not give me a refund. After I explained that I did not actually want to workout there again, because it was not a good fit for me, he explained his ridiculous scam of a refund policy and quit answering my texts. The policy is that even if you hate it, you have to go to a minimum of 3 classes per week for each week of the 3 weeks in order to get your money back if you don't like it. If you get sick, too bad. If you get injured, too bad. If you decide Olympic style lifting isn't your thing, well, that's ok- just do it 8 more times to prove to yourself how much you hate it and then you'll get your money back. As you know, it's pretty ludicrous to ask someone to engage in an activity they dislike 9 times in order to prove that they dislike it. If you're really not into eggplant for example, are you really going to eat a plateful of eggplant 8 more times, just to make sure? I hope nobody else falls for this scam. This is a crappy way to treat someone who wants to try out your gym. I could have just paid a drop in fee and not left almost $100 on the table. Take your money elsewhere, to a place where they won't take advantage of you and will treat you fairly.

Also now under Hillsboro Crossfit Chuck Gonzalez Would NOT…read morerecommend. Does NOT honor his contracts. False advertising. Does not provide what is stated. He continually talked about needing $$ to remodel the gym. The contract states you will RECEIVE YOUR MONEY BACK FULLY REFUNDABLE IF YOU FOLLOW THE PROGRAM, ATTEND 3 TIMES A WEEK, CHECK IN AND LOSE EITHER 20 LBS OR 5% BODY FAT WHICHEVER IS CHOSEN UP FRONT. OR THE $$ WILL BE CREDITED TO A REDUCED COST MONTHLY PLAN IF CHOOSE TO CONTINUE AFTER THE 6 WEEK TRANSFORMATION. I do NOT respect and will not honor anyone who runs a business by lying. My husband DID lose the 20 lbs which has NEVER been disputed. On the last Saturday a large group was going to Hagg lake. We had a funeral to attend so in a hurry as Chuck was aware. We weighed. I did not lose the 20 lbs. Mitch DID lose the 20 lbs. As witnessed by the other clients. He told Chuck he was NOT going to continue monthly. I said I cannot continue monthly due to current employment situation. Will call if change my mind. He said, you have till midnight to change mind. I DID NOT CHANGE MY MIND SO I DID NOT CALL HIM. Quite frankly was last thing on my mind when gong to a friends funeral. I said NO. No means no. A couple weeks later, not only was my husband NOT refunded his $375.00...I was then charged $145.00 for a monthly fee that I did NOT sign up for or agree to. ( The $145.00 was reversed when I disputed it) AFTER Chuck Gonzalez threatened me via email saying he would sue me for an annual contract if I dispute the $375.00 charge/ refund that was due my husband. Chuck is a CHEAT. Bad business. I disputed and was credited back. . He just said he provided the service which is not accurate but CC credited him back. Then me aain. Then him again. I am still fighting this. He knows he is in the wrong. The advertisements claimed this was twice a year, limited number of people. However, he was adding new "transformations" each and every week. Nutrition plan was 1 piece of paper w only difference being 2 cups veggies more for husband. No recipes. Had to ask about food all the time. My Zone belts ( he told us his friend owns company) never worked correctly. Several in class could not get them to workWorthless. Very disappointing when you are starting a program and do want to see the measurements. Day to day at gym- Chuck had off and on days. Has favorites. Some amazing clients who coached us sometimes and were very nice. Coach Rachel - amazing! Some days Chuck would be approachable. Other days not. Very disorganized. I liked learning crossfit but would never go back here. Chuck needed money for remodel and that was his priority. Too bad as there were some nice people and Rachel should open her own gym. I was very excited and he really ruined the experience. BAD business to lie and cheat people. Ask him. Did Mitch lose 20 lbs. YES HE SURE DID. Look him in the eye when you ask. He owes Mitch $375.00. And we did follow ALL of the requirements.
