We recently joined Stafford Hills Club after touring four other gyms including the new Lake Oswego…read moreaquatic center which did not impress me but it was nice. After touring the gyms I came away with the impression that Stafford was by far the best gym in the area. The staff is superb and the gym and equipment are clean. None of that terrible "gym" smell that you often get at the gyms as they age. They also do an excellent job at making sure there aren't so many members in the gym that there are long wait times to use the equipment.

"A place where everybody knows your name... and you're always glad you came." [1]…read more My review is based on my membership of one year where I've consistently visited 4x/week. Beginning during the end stages of COVID restrictions, it was so nice to experience outdoor swimming, the hot tub, and social time with other members. Swimming is my main experience at the club so here is what you should know: * Six lane outdoor salt water pool that is open year round (I've done laps in the snow, sleet, and hail). * You can reserve four of the six lanes and it is very competitive to get times, especially during the warm weather months when you are competing for space with the swim team, swim lessons, and aqua aerobics classes. * The other two lanes are left open for first come first serve usage and swimmers are encouraged to share. * The outdoor hot tub is for 14+ over. I have only taken one yoga class at the club and all classes have you reserve your spot. If you cancel less than 12 hours in advance or are a no show, you are charged a $10 fee. Personally, I don't mind since the reservation system makes me accountable and if I don't have a reservation, I'm less likely to go workout. The club is a nice mix of serious athletes (I'm surrounded by masters swimmers and triathletes), retirees, and families. Prior to my membership, my teenage son was a member for two years and loved the weight room, sauna, and steam room. The club as been open for awhile and is definitely showing its age and is need of some maintenance upgrades in the pool area. That being said, I have been very happy with my membership here and the personal feel, literally being greet by name when entering and exiting, and the wonderful customer service. This club is very different from the large national chains, so to each their own. Definitely recommend a trial membership at this club as well as others in the area to see which is the best fit for you. [1] I am currently re-watching this classic sitcom and while not aging well in the post Me Too era, still good for a lot of laughs.

I had a great experience with Eliseo and Roberto at this location. I had recently signed up for a…read moremembership and then noticed that they were offering some additional amenities/perks for new members. Since I had signed up about a week earlier, I was pretty bummed that I might have just missed out on them. Eliseo and Roberto were both incredibly helpful and took the time to work with me so I could still receive the amenities. They were friendly and understanding, and they made the whole process really easy. I really appreciated how willing they were to help instead of just telling me I had missed the promotion. Great customer service from both of them!

This is specifically for Erica that is the swim coach for the Bay Club Aqua Squads…read more Erica is an all around amazing coach! She knows exactly what to do with each child.

After being a member for several months, I am dropping my star rating to a 3. One of the reasons…read morethat I was looking forward to this club was that I could work from here and then get a workout in. Unfortunately, the Wi-Fi is so spotty, down more often than not, that I can't imagine being able to do any kind of work from the club. This also makes it challenging to use any kind of app which requires Wi-Fi in order to track your progress when you're lifting. The second reason I dropped my star rating was because there are a number of machines, for example the large cable machine in the main workout area, that are missing most of their weight stickers. Unless you are familiar with the weight progression of that specific machine, you are guessing at what weight you are actually lifting. Final issue, the attachments for the cable machine over in the room which has the Astroturf are very worn. A few are missing the rings to even connect and people have tied knots into the strap in order to make it work. These may seem minor but for the price you pay for a membership plus the sign-up fee, I would expect these little things to be easily taken care of.

You can tell she genuinely cares about the job she's constantly running the front desk, stocking supplies, cleaning, and handling everything with a smile, even when dealing with grown men who act like children.

Returned to the club. Have not been here since before Covid. They have new classes like 50 minute…read morecardio or 50 minute strength training, which is great because that's the kind of thing I'm looking for. Trainers are super nice and able to give suggestions for modifications. Likely better if you know your own modifications. Lighter weights are to the right of the door if you need 5 pounds. The traditional class which is half cardio and half weight training is a little different than pre-Covid. The biggest difference is they focus on what you're doing, not where your heart rate is. At my class we did a lot of hills. And there was no mention of aiming for red zone. There were mentions of last push or empty your tank, but not aiming for specific colors. Which was great for me because when my heart rate gets too high, I pass out. The heart rate system is really amazing in each machine from treadmill or roar can identify your band and you can choose your profile for your machine. It doesn't work on the weights, ( choosing your station because it doesn't matter). I think the heart rate monitor is optional. However, having that option to identify for the machine and tracking little more detail of what you're doing and getting the email somebody at the end is very motivating and really great. I really liked everyone on staff and everyone was very welcoming and kind even if you're not a 20 year-old fitness influencer. I also really like how there's plenty of parking and very easy access to the facility.

I discovered the Community at the Marquis Tualatin because I am part of a group that used to meet…read morethere. I really liked the space and what it has to offer for "non-residents" like myself. I obtained a gym membership. (I get a discount through my health insurance and chose the Marquis Community over other gyms that offer more classes but do not have a salt-water pool). I was initially very excited about the salt-water pool and gym. However... The Marquis does not list their fitness classes or pool schedule on-line. I went to their website and looked for information. I filled out a "Contact Us" form. (It went no where. Perhaps a glitch but this has happened to me a few times.) The definition of a "senior" or "uniquely-abled person" is we may have limitations. How do I know which services, classes, gym schedule, pool schedule I wish to access if I cannot locate the information? I should not have to get a ride to the Marquis in order to obtain a schedule or program information in order to plan my day, week, month. On the positive side, the salt-water pool is amazing. The gym has some nice equipment and is clean. The locker room is accessible. The rest of the Marquis (fireplace, puzzle/books in the lobby, coffee bar, seated areas) is a pleasant place to spend time. I just wish I had a schedule! Please post on-line, create a link for up-to-date schedules, anything that would make your community more welcoming to those of us that do not live there.

Amazing new gym in Tigard…read more I recently moved to Oregon and had been working out at 24 Fitness. it seems all of them in the area are absolutely disgusting. I finally had enough, and went on a search for a new facility. I had worked out at Golds years ago and liked them, so I googled and found this place. Wow, what a great facility! They have every machine you could want, and more. The place is spotless, smells good and isn't overly crowded. It's also a new concept Gold's Gym. So it seems very modern and up to date. The staff are really friendly and helpful. And the members seems to respect the quality and cleanliness of the gym. Parking is also easy and plentiful. And its in a nice new business park. Ive spent most of my adult life in gyms, and id say this is probably the best gym Ive ever worked out at.

I debated whether to write this because it happened a few months ago, but the way this situation…read morewas handled genuinely affected me and I feel it's important to share I regularly used the co-ed sauna at this location. When I originally joined, I specifically asked about the sauna because it's located near the men's locker room/bathrooms, and I was told it was co-ed. The only posted rule regarding clothing says to "wear proper sauna attire," with no further explanation. There are also no towels provided by the gym. One day I was using the sauna with a friend while wearing the swimsuit pictured below. We were both sitting on towels and minding our own business. Afterward, we walked the short distance back toward the women's locker room, showered and changed. As we were leaving, the manager Luke asked if he could speak with me privately. He then told me they had received "numerous complaints about what you were wearing in the sauna." I was completely caught off guard. I had worn a bathing suit in the sauna many times before without an issue, so I asked what I was supposed to wear when the posted rule simply says "proper sauna attire." Luke said he had no problem with bathing suits, but then gestured up and down at me and said the swimsuit I was wearing was a little "uhhh..." before trailing off. I found this extremely uncomfortable and felt like I was being sexualized and shamed for my body and what I was wearing, rather than being given a clear dress-code rule to follow. He suggested I wrap myself in a towel, so I asked if the gym provided towels. They do not. During what Luke had asked to be a "private" conversation, another employee, Caitlin, interrupted and said, "Well, we can cancel your membership if you'd like." I was extremely uncomfortable with this response, especially when I was simply trying to understand what the actual rule was. When I returned the following week to calmly ask Luke for clarification, I also told him that if he was going to ask to speak with me "privately," I expected the conversation to actually be private--not at the front desk where other employees could overhear and interrupt. I then asked Luke who had actually complained about me. This time, he clarified that "no one complained per se." Instead, one person had apparently approached him and said, "Did you see that girl in a bikini?" Luke said he wanted to "get ahead of it before it became a problem." This was incredibly upsetting after initially being told there had been "numerous complaints." I had been made to feel like multiple people were upset about me or my body when, according to his later explanation, that wasn't actually what happened. I don't have a problem with a gym having a specific sauna dress code. If the expectation is that people wear something other than a swimsuit, that should be clearly stated and consistently enforced. What I had a problem with was being singled out, having my swimsuit/body addressed in such a vague and uncomfortable way, and being made to feel ashamed when I was following what I understood to be the posted rules. I ultimately stopped going for a period of time because the experience made me feel extremely uncomfortable in a place that had previously been a positive and safe space for me. I later spoke with people at Gold's Gym corporate about what happened, and they were extremely apologetic and told me they agreed that the situation had been handled inappropriately. I genuinely appreciated that response. I'm sharing this because I don't think anyone should be made to feel ashamed or responsible for other people's reactions to their body when they are simply using a shared facility and following the rules as they are posted. If there is a dress code, clearly communicate it rather than sexualizing someone's clothing and making them feel like they are the problem. I enjoyed it here (minus the loud music) and am disappointed that I don't feel comfortable enough to have a membership here at this time. Maybe things will change in the future! They need better management I guess.

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.
