IRONSIDE TRAINING | Portland in Portland, Oregon

“Really amazing gym. Researched every gym near my house within 5 miles. There are a lot of gyms in the area that only offer class formats, or regular commercial gyms without all of the tools that I need, or certain purple gyms that have nothing that you need. There are museum gyms and a kids gym. This is the only gym that offers all of their powerlifting equipment during open gym AND they have punch passes. Coming her”

“I don't have a membership here. I get to go to the powerlifting meets they throw occasionally. The entire staff is awesome. This is one of the best gyms I've ever been to. I wish I could afford the price. I love all the guys there. P.S. After talking with ownership, I am now a member. Been working out here for over a month. Very happy to be with ironside!”

“Ironside Training is the best Strength gym in Portland. Full stop. It has the equipment you need to get strong. It has the community you need to be accountable. It has the coaches you need to break past your limits. I have been lifting heavy for about 15 years now and I cannot recommend a gym more highly than I do Ironside.”

“This is the most wholesome, inclusive gym Iu2019ve ever been to in my life. Iu2019ve been training here for the past year and a half, and have found incredible community with Ironside members. Full of geeks, goobers and genuinely wonderful people. The coaches are all fantastic.

“I don't know why it's taken this long for me to write a review for this place I love so much. I'll be a lifer at Ironside. It's the first gym I've been to that feels legit welcoming, inclusive, and like a community. I've also experienced such incredible progress in just two years - and that's coming from a lifelong movement addict. There's an atmosphere of celebration at Ironside, even if you're lifting 50lbs next to”

“It's probably a great gym if you have money to spend on a personal trainer or you really know what you're doing, but I wouldn't go back. I've been working out at Planet Fitness for about a year and I've put on a decent bit of muscle, but I was really excited to finally use barbels and work on my stabilizers. I also have lumbar and cervical herniations, so I've avoided squats and deadlifts, etc. When I asked the perso”

“Great gym. Iu2019m impressed by their constant improvements to the open gym area. Just in my time as a member, theyu2019ve added: new squat racks, new deadlifting areas, fresh bumper plates, and a hip thrust machine. Also highly appreciate their transparency and flexibility with membership. I travel back to the east coast ~2 months out of the year and itu2019s super easy to pause my monthly payments. Overall highly recommend thi”
