Great gym -- plenty of machines, very clean and well maintained. Love the sauna and the staff is really helpful.

I just joined this gym, so I will happily update this review in the future to see if it still holds true, but I'm very pleased so far. Pros: SIX squat racks An AMAZING shower Great cleanliness Able to provide proof of vaccination to go unmasked Not crowded with machines Light/bright space Friendly staff Can see if they're at capacity online Cons: No hamstring curl machine Classroom space maybe needs some TLC ... no other cons that I've found yet Looking forward to spending more time here and for the class schedule to expand! read more

Peak Performance - The shower... clean, bright, waterfall shower-head AND handheld shower-head - Gyms Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm a new member and have been impressed by this gym. The gym has a large range of free weights and machines, but it also doesn't feel like a massive warehouse like so many of the large chains feel. The staff is super friendly and they seem to have a large range of classes as well. I definitely recommend it! read more

Love this neighborhood gym! Bootcamp classes have been my go-to. They're offered at convenient hours and have been amazing for my fitness. Would recommend to anyone looking for a gym in the area. read more

I've been a member here for a little over a year. The main reason I joined was that it's close to my house. But the reason I've stayed is that it really is a great gym--there are a couple big chain gyms within blocks of my office which on some days would actually be even more convenient. So why do I say it's a great gym? It has everything someone serious about their fitness needs. The equipment is all new-ish, well maintained, and thoughtfully acquired. They have everything you need for any type of workout from metcons to powerlifting. Do you like CrossFit-type workouts, but don't want to pay CrossFit prices, and have the knowledge and motivation to curate your workouts on your own? This is the gym for you. There are plenty of rowing machines, medicine balls (and boards for wallballs), kettlebells, ab mats, boxes for box jumps, ropes for climbing, rubberized plates and floors so you can drop the bar after a heavy lift, and more racks in the lifting area than the big box gym in the Pearl where I used to work out--at least at the time I go, I don't think I've ever had to wait for a rack to open up. I use the sauna almost every day, so that's another thing I'm glad they have. I don't do classes, but there seems to be a wide offering, and their cardio machines cover all the basics. Beyond all that, though, I have to say one of the things I appreciate most about the gym is the fact that they are constantly making improvements that aren't urgent or even very necessary, but which tell me that the management takes pride in the gym. This matters. They didn't HAVE to replace the sinks in the locker room, for example, or paint the walls, or put in new tile, or get a nice curtain for the shower. But they've done all that. It shows love, and I think that makes for good energy. read more

Peak Performance - A bar, with plates on it. - Gyms Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I'm a sucker for awesome gyms with nice staff and Peak Performance definitely fits that bill. With friends and family in the PDX area, we find ourselves in the area often. Whenever we're in town, we always make time to work out here. Regardless of what workouts you're into; crossfit, weightlifting, bodybuilding, cardio, circuit, etc, there's the space and equipment here for you! Day passes are only $16 (far cheaper than that of a commercial gym), and the staff is extremely knowledgeable and helpful! If you're in the area and you need a quick pump for whatever reason, I highly recommend coming here! read more

Peak Performance - Free weight area - Gyms Near Me - Portland, Oregon

We've been regulars for a couple of years and have nothing but great things to say about the equipment, classes, staff, and vibe. My trainer, Shireen Noroozi, has especially been helpful. She listened to my goals and needs and crafted a compact, efficient workout for me. Always professional and cheerful, her knowledge of physiology and routine options is spot-on, builds variety, and gave me results. I HIGHLY recommend her. We especially enjoy the camaraderie shown by the regulars, which creates a positive culture. We love the people, the place, and the essential role the gym plays in our lives. Can't say enough good things! read more

Awesome gym! They had an excellent range of equipment for their size, and I hardly ever had to wait for machines. The other gym goers are courteous, the music wasn't too loud, and the place has a positive and relaxed vibe overall full of nice everyday people getting their workout in. The front desk folks were helpful, and the gym is clean. I was only in town for a month, but I loved using this gym and wish I'd been able to stay longer! read more

I like that there is a gym in my neighborhood. It is clean and has nice equipment. The people here are very nice, but not helpful. Every time I've had a request or question, it's either not answered or backburnered and without diligent effort on my part, I'm stuck. Which means that the hour I've carved out for myself is only a half an hour or less OR I make a different plan entirely. I also wish the wretched news wasn't on every evening. On most of the channels... There's nothing worse than having a stressful day and coming to the gym and being more stressed out about the in-my-face news or having some Jerry Springer-like program running. I can't do cardio and avoid it. I'm writing this here because I'm completely ignored if I bring anything up at the gym.... so do with this what you want.. whoever you are. The gym is convenient.. they have some nice classes and a nice sauna for cold rainy days. Maybe you'll love it. Maybe it's just more convenient than going all the way across town. read more

Plenty of equipment, clean, extremely helpful/friendly staff. What else do you need? I had nothing but a good experience here and they were especially great when I went to cancel my membership. If I start working out in a gym again I will come back here 100%. read more

I love this gym. It's clean, never packed, and has everything. And the staff are great, especially Natasha, who actually reorganizes the weights! read more

This is a great gym. It's a medium-sized neighborhood gym with friendly staff and a clean facility. They also have free classes, plenty of free weights, and lots of space. It helps that it's never too crowded One additional thing that endears them to me is their cancellation policy. They have very reasonable cancellation terms and allow for digital cancellation. But why would you want to cancel? :) read more

I really wanted to like this gym. It's clean and convenient​. ​But it's also super small. It's fine during the day when it's empty but crammed during peak hours. The trainers who teach the group classes aren't attentive to form nor do they give proper modifications or progressions. (I'm a trainer, I should know.) One of them told me "If it hurts you're probably doing​ it​ right" when I asked what I was doing wrong in my kettlebell swing because it was hurting​ my right lower back. ​That is not okay. I talked to the front desk staff about this and they said someone​ would call me to chat about this but no one called, hence me leaving​ this review​. I hope this gets the attention of management and they realize that this kind of absentmindedness is dangerous for clients. read more

This place is dope. Not crowded. Lots of new and interesting equipment to play on! Other location is smaller but equally as cool!

Big fan. In so many ways. The staff are complete gems, there's room to spread out and do your thing, and they've got classes that range from yoga to boot camps. There's a disco ball, and there's a sauna. It's great. Plus, both locations were once video stores - they've got the drop box and everything. Big fan. read more

I switched from 24 hour fitness to Peak Performance, after buying a house close by. Even though it did not have all the same bells and whistles, it was 5 minutes away. Recently they remodeled and the place kicks ass. Everyone seems friendly en, gym is clean and has a wide variety of exercise equipment. I definitely recommend this gym :-) read more

The only gym I've ever stayed at for two+ years. Every machine you could ever need. Even at peak hours there's never a wait. Try it out.

Love this place! I live nearby and joined just over a year ago now -- no regrets. Good hours, plenty of classes with fun instructors, it's conveniently located near a couple of bus stops, very clean and plenty of equipment (they even have a curved treadmill!), decent sized locker rooms with showers and a sauna. I also have 1-1 training sessions with Craig, one of the trainers. If you're having trouble getting started with working out again or have a goal in mind, I highly recommend seeking out their trainers. Most of their trainers teach the fitness classes so you can get a taste of their style prior to your first session! Everyone is so nice, so it might be difficult to choose which one you want. The rates are hard to turn down too compared to other gyms in the area. You should just come here! read more

This is an amazing gym. The staff are really friendly, the equipment range is really good, the personal coaching that I've taken is excellent, the management are kind and compassionate. Can't say enough good things about them! read more

Was visiting Portland over Thanksgiving and was very happy I found this place. Lots of equipment, nice and clean, a little old (but not bad), have towels for rent and will loan you a lock for the lockers. Staff was always pleasant and helpful. Nice location (maybe too many restaurants and bars nearby, but that is a different issue :)) Day pass price was the same as other gyms in the area. I would join this gym if I lived there, but will certainly be back when I visit and it is great for drop in guests. read more

Great place!! I've been a member for three years and have watched lots of improvements be made. Keeps getting better all the time.

Have been with this gym for one-year and some odd months and some change... Also, signed the one-year contract. Have experienced MANY GYMS; however, never stayed around for more than four months and could name names/reasons as to why I go the other way and hate to see them coming; however, let's just say that they weren't even worth an ounce of loyalty, lol or anything else for that matter. From day one, this has been my stable, non-constant changing place of renewal, especially at the Alberta location where the HydroMassage bed is with excellent internet and affordable refrigerated drinks, which can also be charged on account without having to worry about bringing paper bills or cards to the gym, very nice.... And, if for some odd reason, the internet is acting acting up that day, I usually go right to the front desk and it's looked over and reset.... Other than that, the Internet is ALWAYS working, especially fast... Internet at a gym is very important, and life doesn't just stop suddenly when you're there, either. Along with the refrigerated drinks, there're also affordable high quality food items, which also alternate. There is also a sauna in the locker room; however, I only use the HydroMassage bed as I can't stand all that hot steam..... You can also really tell that the facility has a high quality hot water heater. When you turn the sink or even shower faucet to hot, warm, or even cold, the temperatures really do reflect that temperature and stay that way. I've also had the privilege of working with Caroline, and Patrick, as well as, Chris on whatever it may have been at the time, who by the way are MOST DEFINITELY assets/strengths to the company. There're also MANY types of equipment there for whatever your goals may be.... Being that the Kenton location has been remodeled with new stuff, whenever I do make it over there, out of all the stuff in the entire gym, I mainly use the more lighter expensive jump ropes, which are in the closet. However, I'm really hoping that those will be added or even brought over to the Alberta location before or even after the remodel. The Kenton location also has the best cardio equipment, featuring the most powerful built-in fans right up above the screens. If you select high, then that's exactly what you'll get, not so much the case for the Alberta cardio equipment, rather it's a hit-or-miss. The Kenton location is an extension of the Alberta location, only without the HydroMassage bed or sauna, as well as, the food items here being different, and private changing rooms. Also, can't wait till the food items are the same at both locations, that way, one doesn't miss out on the new items. On an ending note, I could've sworn that I've met the owner before while lifting weights. I had asked him about the weights and on another occasion something having to do with the internet, and he was most definitely an extension of his fellow co-workers who are mentioned above. By the way, which either location you do go to, the hours are PERFECT. After the remodel, the Alberta location will soon be 24-hours. read more

I moved from LA Fitness purely out of convenience and so far it's ok. This review is for the one on Lombard actually as they don't have a page, but I've been to the other one and they're similar in a lot of regards. I mostly use the treadmill for running and the heart rate monitors shock me every time I touch them which is not pleasant. Also- the scale is like a bathroom scale! I don't have much confidence in it as it always seems to be off. It would be nice to have a legit gym scale for accuracy. They have lots of classes which are great, but only one at the time I can actually take it. It's also more expensive than LA Fitness so I guess I expected more, but maybe they pay their staff really well- I hope so. Staff is very friendly and everything is very clean. read more

Love this place! I've tried out a few different gyms in this neighborhood and this one by far has the best atmosphere and space. It's clean every time I go in there and the staff is always friendly. Great monthly rate and all the classes are included which was an upgrade from my last gym in the area. Very happy with all the current equipment. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a locally owned gym! read more

This gym has excellent trainers and instructors and a very friendly vibe. Peak offers a good variety of classes, the equipment is well maintained, and the staff are always helpful. read more

Incredible gym. The staff and the crowd at Peak Performance are friendly and over time start to feel like family. There is a great mix of cardio machines and free weights which opens up a lot of training opportunities. They keep great hours, so working out is available for any variety of schedule. Love their spot on Alberta! read more

Super low-key gym, with a calm vibe and no blasting music! I was in the gym today on a stormy and blustering day in Portland at 5-6:30 pm and the place was not packed. Don't have to pay extra for classes and the instructors are skilled and teach interesting and varied workouts. Helpful and friendly staff, parking no problem and great price for a sweet neighborhood gym. read more

My last gym experience was 24 Hr Fitness in the Pearl, and by comparison Peak on Alberta is a breath of fresh air--literally. Even during busier times there's no rancid odor of dirt, dust and mildew that I almost got used to at 24HF. Peak is clean and there's a good selection of machines and free weights, nicely arranged so it doesn't feel cramped. Staff is welcoming and helpful, especially Chris. This is an unpretentious neighborhood gym (again, unlike 24HF) where everyone can feel comfortable whether you're super-fit or just getting started. One star removed for not making each type of class available at both locations (as of this writing, Zumba and Unwind are only available at Lombard). read more

Great gym!! Has a huge remodel going on that I'm really excited to see. Seems as though it will be very spacious. Very nice employees and great classes they have going on. read more
