Bridgetown CrossFit and Barbell Club in Portland, Oregon

“Started going to this gym a few years back and I couldnu2019t so much as do a real push up or pull up. The owners are awesome; patient, knowledgeable, and prioritize safety. Great for beginners and appreciate the space even more now that Iu2019m more experienced. I love being able to walk in, do my own programming, and have my own rack without waiting for equipment to free up. The equipment selection is great, no way anyone ”

“I'm 46 and I've never lifted anything beyond kids, groceries and mulch. I've always been intimidated by the equipment and the vibe of weightlifting...but I also wanted to get stronger. I'm so glad my friend introduced me to Bridgetown! Jay has been incredibly kind and respectful to me. He's helped me find some routines that I feel excited about and he's committed to my safety and form. The whole community there is we”

“Fantastic gym! Great place to learn how to lift weights in a supportive environment that will still challenge you. Owners Erin and Jay are very knowledgeable and willing to help. I particularly like the warm ups (way better than any other crossfit gym I've been to) and the emphasis on avoiding injuries or rehabbing existing injuries. Every class has a warmup and stretching routine geared toward whatever the movements”

“Best gym experience out there. I was wary of the class format but it's changed my mind entirely. Jay and Erin have a ton of experience lifting and coaching and apply that each individual. If you're injured or inexperienced they'll coach you through it and get you to wherever you want to go. The flexibility is a great part of the gym and programs, and there's no pushing inexperienced lifters into hardcore crossfit wor”

“This is where anyone can learn to use a barbell and do other strength-training exercises. I had never lifted a barbell before coming, and after several weeks, I still don't really know I'm doing...But I'm learning and I feel great. The members are genuinely friendly and since it's an individual workout, there doesn't feel like any macho pressure. That said, Jay and Erin will push you to do your best and keep you safe”

“Jay and Erin run a seriously awesome gym. Not only are they exceptional coaches, they truly support their clients as individuals. They got me through two pregnancies and never gave up on me - even though my recovery after the second kid has been, shall we say, on the relaxed side. If you're looking for a gym that will push you AND support you through what life throws at you, BCBC is it!!!”
