Before I contacted Phillip Adler, I was emotionally, physically and spiritually tired. I knew I had to do something, but finding what it was seemed elusive. Where do I go? Who do I contact? Who can help me? I recalled that back in 2011 Phillip was my personal trainer at a local gym, I wanted to be healthy for a milestone year. When his career path changed I did not follow him and stayed with the local gym then sought team training elsewhere. Years have passed, then over four years ago my workout routine changed in a major way, I could not make the commitment because I allowed work to supersede this joy and I became trapped in a dark place and my depression blossomed until it was crushing my spirit and I gained weight because I found solace in alcohol. It quieted the voices, but I knew this was not a solution, I needed to solve my inner chaos another way. I contacted Phillip through his website, Philthy Fitness Pdx and we met, and after he analyzed my answers to the questionnaire and we discussed my inner personal conundrum, he proposed a holistic personal training route and I agreed. It takes more than physical strength to feel whole and complete, and content. I am so very happy that I made this commitment. Although I have only begun this mission of solving my emotional, physical and spiritual lethargy, in the short time I have participated I have seen significant inner personal growth and a resumption of joy. Philthy Fitness has been the resource I needed. Recently, I felt as if an outer layer of my inner chaos had been cleared, and it was so refreshing and uplifting, I regained an inner strength that had been buried by self-doubt and societal programming. I have recently elevated my personal growth by participating in dynamic meditation. I have never done this before but it has provided me with an avenue for release and celebration and after my second experience, I found it to be a resource for creativity and freedom. If you are in a dark place or if you feel that you've lost yourself, you need to reach out to Phillip Adler at Philthy Fitness Pdx. He's dedicated to his clients and extremely empathetic and supportive. He also conducts group classes with a focus on strength and conditioning, and he is there to guide you every step of the way. This is a community of people dedicated on an inner personal mission towards wellness. Phillip is an amazing guide for helping me on my path for better well-being and inner personal strength which is being complemented by physical health and soul enrichment. His holistic approach encompasses finding your sincere happiness, guidance on diet, movement and how to find that blessed quiet. I am grateful and excited about my future now that there is a viable solution and path. read more

There's a point in a person's weight loss journey when they wake up and get it. The light bulb goes off, and there is no stopping them. I had the determination of knowing I wanted to lose weight, but I always gave up. Being who I was seemed easier than working hard to get the results I wanted. One day I was talking with a friend who recommended Phillip to work with, and it changed my life forever. Phillip made me want to train. I found not only the strength to lift weights, but the strength within myself to know I could achieve all that I wanted. Phillip stepped me up into the results-driven, next level that I never thought I would reach--but I did. The time spent each week with someone who genuinely cared about me, my success and my overall well-being. I finally have this new life that I never thought I would have. I am who I was always meant to be. The internal motivation a person can get once they start seeing the results is amazing. Seeing the results of personal training is incredible! Phillip has went above my expectations as a trainer and helps with my diet as well. He truly invest in his students and helps on a much deeper level then just the outside appearance. I am a better person for starting my fitness journey in January 2016 and I'm down 30 lbs and 6 pants sizes. The weight is staying off and I feel great physically and emotionally. read more

I have a long, very long history of sports injuries. In the past I have tried to workout on my own and I manage to lose 20-30 but then I end up hurting myself and gaining them back. Having someone guide you and correct your form is very beneficial to get the most out of your workout. Over the years I have learned that there is a fine balance between pushing yourself and hurting yourself. I love that Phil is able to understand when I need accommodations on certain days when my knee is hurting. I know a lot of people are hesitant to sign up because they think that they cannot afford it, but when you stop eating out and cooking your own meals you actually start saving a lot of money. Strength camp is very different from other gyms and cross fit because it focusses on strengthening all aspects of you. It has definitely helped me become more physically and mentally strong. During my first week of the free trial I visited the cross fit that is two blocks away from my house and I ended up choosing strength camp over it although it is a 30-40 minute drive for me every morning. I highly encourage you to give the two week trial a shot, I promise you won't regret it. read more

Strength Camp Portland is a place that will take you to the next level. If it's your first time ever working out or you are a serious athlete trying to make it to the next level. Strength Camp Portland will get you to where you need to be. Phillip provides you with skills you can take outside of the workout and into your daily life. He has you set goals and then gives you the tools to go and crush them and then has you set new ones to demolish.

I have been going to strength camp for about two months with my mom now. Phil is a fantastic trainer and super knowledgeable. He is great at personalizing everything so it is challenging for us at our own levels. SInce going here I have already begun to see positive changes. I am happier, more toned, and can do so many more things in everyday life because of the strength I am developing here. In addition Phil helped me train for a physical test I was taking in a month from joining. I passed and I never could have done that on my own. Now he is helping me with new goals to PR in my next triathlon. I am grateful for the supportive atmosphere that strength camp always provides. read more

You guys! Strength Camp Portland moved to this sweet warehouse space on NE 42nd in the Cully hood! Since the move, I've decided to branch out from just the kickboxing classes and have dabbled in some of the group strength and conditioning ones taught by Phillip, the owner. Phewf! It's clear he knows what he's doing and knows how to get results! I always feel accomplished when the workout is over. And, yes, sometimes I'm sore. Good sore. Oh- there's also this rad wall of inspiring messages created with the help of gym members that I can't get enough of. Super Instagrammable! AND there's even a shower in one of the two lockable newly constructed bathrooms. Thumbs up! read more

I have been going to strength camp for a little over a month now. Previously I have done crossfit and ended up with a severe back injury which I had surgery for in 2015. I had lost hope that my back pain would never go away and lost motivation to work out. Through a friend, I heard about Strength Camp Portland. Phil has pushed me mentally and physically and I have loved every minute of it. My entire mentality has improved and my back pain has decreased significantly! I feel motivated and more like myself than I ever have! I am excited to continue my journey here at Strength Camp Portland!! read more

Philip is an awesome and motivating trainer. I did not know what it was like to push myself to the max until I attended this past month of Strength Camp. I came in out of shape and not in the best of spirits for how I looked and felt. It has been about a month and I feel so good and am totally addicted to these sessions. Everyone is so encouraging to each other as well. This is not like a chain gym experience at all. It is body, mind, soul...working out in a different and better way. I thank Philip for showing me I have a lot more in me than I had ever thought. read more

I have been training with Phil for close to 4 years. He is a great coach, pushing you on, helping you reach your goals with an understanding, but no no-nonsense approach. I originally started training with Phil because leg day should not be skipped and I wasn't happy with my solo workouts. I wanted to train smart. He has been terrific in teaching me form, technique, and I look forward to leg day and all my workouts now. Strength Camp is the place to go for your fitness and health goals. I recommend it for anyone. read more

Phillip has been a constant in my life and helped me to achieve my full potential. He continues to be a source of truth and inspiration for my ongoing mental and physical well-being. When I walk away from a session with Phillip I walk away a better person than when I arrived. I'm so excited to attend Strength Camp. The program looks amazing and the new space is second to none. read more

I injured my hamstring a few months ago and it really had me down. I hadn't been injured in 15+ years, at least not like that. I tried to nurse myself back to health by trying a number of things, but nothing has helped me the way Strength Camp has. Phil is great about modifying, but still pushing you to keep digging. I'm really glad I found this place. 10/10 would recommend. read more
