This review is long overdue as I first darkened the doors of CrossFit Immense on my 48th birthday…read morein September 2014. As you can see I'm giving this business and owner 5 stars. 5 well-deserved stars. If you're new to CrossFit like I was, I can't think of a better "box" (that's crossfit vernacular for "gym") to go to in order to try out the regimen to see if you like it. Having previously relied on my own gym routine of lifting weights and doing cardio, I wasn't seeing the results I thought I should be seeing and I wanted to shake up my routine and try something different. I quickly felt comfortable and over a day or two I was no longer concerned about my appearance or lack of skills. There are some seasoned athletes at every crossfit box, but my experience is that I see athletes at every stage of skill and fitness at CrossFit Immense. Lyman is the owner and principal trainer here, and he's very knowledgeable, personable and professional -- if you're starting out at a gym routine or even if you're a seasoned weight-lifter, it's always good to be well-coached -- you'll get that experience at CrossFit Immense. Coaching is an on-going, daily experience at a crossfit box, it's all part of your membership fees. I've learned so much over the past two years about fitness, form, mobility and even diet.

It's well maintained and I believe the cleanest gym I've been to. 3. Affordable. 35 bucks a month. 4. Locally owned. Not some corporate soulless place.

Hello, my husband and I were walking around sellwood while visiting family and we came across this…read moregym. Decided to go in and met the owner Shaun. He was absolutely great and we immediately fell in love with the whole gym layout and equipment available. We went back the next day with a guest pass and loved how clean the whole place was and how all the members were nice and followed the gym etiquette. If we lived in town this would definitely be our spot!

Fun, challenging workouts that really help you achieve your goals. These 35 min circuits are the…read moreperfect compliment to any workout routine or as a stand alone. They change daily but are similar enough that you don't start at square one with each movement. The mix of cardio, weight/strength training, and "mma" really keeps your body and mind on its toes so you avoid plateaus, and boredom. No waiting for machines, no guessing or wandering, and no creepers! I was traveling recently and had the misfortune of having to workout in the world's smallest hotel "fitness center". Lucky for me there was a heavy bag, bosu ball, and kettle bells so I could do my own circuit. The second day I had to share the tiny space with some dude and his trainer who were doing a very similar workout to what Gus puts together for us. I was immediately struck by the lack of quality, expertise, and intensity level of this so-called HIIT workout. I also cringed every time this poor dude attempted anything on the bag. The trainer had no idea what they were doing and I'm positive this guy was in pain later due to terrible form. Witnessing this made me appreciate what Gus offers even more. He really takes the time to show us proper technique not so we can be fighters but because he understands that proper form equals better results, better range of motion, and less injuries. He is truly dedicated to his craft and sharing that passion with all his clients. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to train with a Pro athlete instead of a "certified personal trainer" you'd find anywhere else.

The most encouraging thoughtful trainers and owners who are client focused and huge advocates for their community. They offer TONS of modifications, this gym is most definitely beginner friendly but as someone with a lot of experience in a gym I can also say their classes are CHALLENGING - truly the best. I've never once repeated a workout I don't know where they come up with all of their programming but it is PERFECTION. Workouts aside, the community feel at this gym is unmatched. Every age group, multi cultural, people from all walks of life of all levels and everyone shows up with the same goal in mind! I can't say enough good things. They offer a free first class I believe on their instagram. Excellent membership pricing as well - an all around win.

Love Orange Theory Happy Valley! I haven't been to any other locations so my review is specific to…read morethis location. Pros: Class availability and sign-up: Easy to find class times via the app. I haven't had any issues getting in and sounds like the only waitlists tend to be for the 5 am. Good to know: This location does close early on weekends which is fine for me since I only have time to workout during the week. Efficient class time: they honor the 60 min which is great. Half tread and half floor and I'm walking out the door on time - I've been to other workouts that regularly go over by as much as 15 min and it's really hard to plan for. Good to know: You can be up to 10 min late to a class if something happens. If you miss a class you will be charged. Instructors: they're so great and positive. All three I've been to have been wonderful. They definitely keep the energy up and create an environment where everyone is welcome. Also provide guidance on proper form which is helpful. Space: Very clean. Showers on site. Everyone is supposed to wipe down equipment after use. Floor space is also clean and all the treads and machines are in good repair. Good to know: floor stations are close together so if you like a little more space- sign up to be with the group that has fewer people to start the workout, usually the floor since most folks like to start on the treads. Accessibility: There's lots of parking and it's a convenient location. Overall: it's a great workout that combines cardio with strength. You work at your own pace and it's a place where all ages, bodies and fitness levels can feel welcome. Good to know: your membership allows you to take classes at any Orange Theory in the country.

Would have loved to come and try a class, there are two issues preventing this…read more 1. They close at 1 pm on weekends....? Its bizarre. 2. You cant access the class schedule times online without signing up and giving all your information to them. Why would i sign up for spam text, emails, calls when I don't even know if there is a class time that I can attend? If they could show their class schedule openly on their website it would greatly benefit the public thats interested in possibly trying a class.

I looked at several gyms in West Linn - Lake Oswego area and found the best value at Fit For Life…read more What turned me on to FFL was that they offer very reasonable prices, all classes are free to attend, and you pay month to month. You are not locked into any long term memberships that I found at other gyms. When it comes to equipment they offer all the things you need. Plenty of cardio machines, free weights, and circuit training. They have a large number of TVs as well. Overall FFL is my recommendation for a no frills gym that offers excellent value for your money. I don't think you will be able to find other gyms that compete on this level in the area.

what?! No reviews for Fit for Life? I thought everyone in West Linn comes here...at least, every…read moretime I'm here that's what it feels like. This is a small but very well-kept gym right across the street from Market of Choice. Even though the place is not that big and the basement-like location=no windows, there are plenty of machines, weights, medicine balls, etc. I usually never have to wait for a treadmill. The bathrooms & machines are spotless, the staff is really nice, and I just get a good feeling after working out here. There are free yoga/pilates/aerobic etc classes you can take, so check out their schedule. Times to avoid: 4-6PM. Lots of after-work folks here during this time. The one downside of going to a small, locally owned gym: really limited hours. They close at 9, which is fine during the summer when I have plenty of time, but other times, I prefer to work out late at night!

Shane, the owner and instructor, is amazing at tailoring the work out to each person's abilities and is very hands on with making sure you have good technique to avoid injuries.
