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 never considered myself to be an athlete, but in only a few months time, I surprised myself in the strength that I have gained and exercises that I can now accomplish for the first time ever. I leave her gym feeling good, and in control of my health. Suzie keeps the workouts unique, each week being different. It is never boring! She listened to my goals, and has kept them in mind each week that we meet. She has a friendly personality, and keeps me motivated. I also really like that her gym is private, and you are not competing for equipment or being distracted by the surroundings of a large gym setting. I am so glad that I have started my journey to better health with her. She is amazing. I highly recommend her as a personal trainer. More recently, my husband has recently started doing a joint session with me at Tym 4 Me Fitness. Suzie does a great job balancing the joint session. She incorporates partner exercises as well as individualized exercise during the sessions. The joint sessions are great. We work hard in her gym and have a lot of fun doing it.

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.

I live with chronic back pain and a year ago a friend told me to book an appointment with Aksana. Nothing else (I've tried it all) helped much so I went ahead with an initial training appointment and it changed EVERYTHING! i could barley walk normally when we first started and 3 appointments later I could move more freely and when my pain got bad it only took hours instead of days to reset. A year, and 14-15 appointments it has set the physical clock back years! Aksana has been a literal life saver for me and I am forever grateful!

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.

I highly recommend Shelley Bellestrazzi and NW Core Balance. Shelley is the owner and instructor of…read moreNW Core Balance and is a true fitness professional. She understands how important it is to have a strong core and the value of stretching for those of us that work and sit in an office all day. Having had 2 previous back surgeries, I fully appreciate how Pilates incorporates strength, balance, coordination, control, stretching and flexibility. Shelley is extremely knowledgeable about the musculoskeletal structure and how our body is connected and needs to function for optimal performance, that equates to pain relief and overall fitness. With a maximum of 4 students per class you receive Shelley's expertise and it is a bargain for her 1-on-1 personal training in a friendly, non-judgemental and supportive environment. Shelley has invested in top-if-the-line equipment that provides her students with the ultimate Pilates experience. Every class is different because she is constantly mixing things up by using the Pilates reformer and chair and incorporating different props like the barrel, circle, ball and foam rollers to increase the intensity of the workouts. Don't be fooled by thinking that Pilates is easy because you don't lift heavy weights. I'm definitely seeing definition in my core, legs and arms as a result of the resistance training you get by practicing Pilates. Balance is my biggest challenge because of the back surgeries I've had, and while I'll never be the most graceful person, my balance is improving as I gain strength, control and coordination with the movements I've learned. I just celebrated 1 yr working with Shelley at her Pilates studio and the time has gone quickly. I look forward to class when previously I simply couldn't get myself out of bed to go to the gym anymore. If you're tired or bored with your current workout or don't work out at all, do yourself a favor and and invest in yourself. Call Shelley for your personal consultatation and get started on your personal path to fitness through Pilates.

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.
