StudioX Fitness

I was a member at StudioX for the past 8 months, and for someone who never enjoyed working out and was intimidated by group fitness in general, I really loved going to StudioX. The facilities are clean, the workouts are fun and dynamic, and the instructors are positive yet know how to challenge you in all of the right ways. Some of my favorite instructors there are Christina, Justin and Tim Wilson, but you can’t really go wrong with any of the instructors there.
Unfortunately I had to stop my membership and switch to drop in classes instead, but I can bet that there is no better gym in Portland than here. I’ll definitely come back as a member as soon as I can.

After trying many different gyms in Portland and having personal trainers on a off for years, I can unequivocally say this is the PERFECT gym:
* Spotless facility
* Great variety of small group classes
* Personal attention
* Challenging workouts
* Friendly atmosphere
* Very welcoming of new people
* Great into rate to give it a try (and get hooked)
Every detail has been so well thought-​out at this gym. How nice to finally find a gym where the experience is consistently excellent and it’s a pleasure to work out there!

Alright… After a hiatus, I came back to this place. And I love it more this time around.
The classes are still great. The instructors are still amazing. Yes, I still get intimidated by the strength and stamina of some of my fellow classmates. But that’s ok – i am seeing my own progress as well – and that’s what matters.
In 6 weeks (!!!) without changing my diet – in fact eating worse – I have lost 8% body fat. My endurance has gotten so much better. And my upper body strength has dramatically improved.
But what really takes the cake is the amazing personal training sessions. (Although there’s no actual cake included with said sessions.) yes, it’s kinda pricey – but all personal training is! But the attention to form and continuously changing routines. The friendliness of staff. The cleanliness. It’s so sad that it took me this long to make this investment in myself-​and now I am leaving!
So… Don’t make the same mistake I did. Get a trainer here. Take classes here. And change your mindset about working out. Love.

I’m really impressed by the level of communication, follow-​through and personal attention. I feel encouraged but not pressured. One of the best experiences I’ve had with a gym.

I have searched all over Portland for a workout studio that offers a flexible schedule, fair rates, amazing and challenging classes and a spotless, clean, fun environment. My six months at StudioX continue to exceed my expectations. Owner Tim is the knowledgeable, personable and energetic pulse of his studio. The trainers are warm, will always know your name and push you to individually exceed your own expectations. You will get into awesome shape by just showing up – the classes are designed for results in a non– threatening environment.
I became unexpectedly sick for a month and Tim surprised me by refunding my membership costs for the entire month. This is, in my opinion, the best place to get fit and have fun doing it in Portland. Love love love.

i’ve been coming here for nearly 3 months and don’t intend on stopping. studio x is the best fitness and workout i’ve come across. i wish the monthly membership (I have the 8 classes for $ 80) was just a little bit cheaper, but other than that i have no complaints. the team provides a solid workout consistently. they are friendly, helpful, and encouraging! i love this gym!

I have been going to StudioX now for a little over 6 months. I can’t say enough good things about this place. It goes above my basic expectations for a gym:
— Very clean
— Personal attention
— Small classes
— Trainers that will kick your butt
I love that you aren’t locked into one type of class. I can change my schedule each week based on time and what kind of work out I want. Classes are never exactly the same– even with the same instructors.
They send surveys throughout your membership. I only fill them out when I have new feedback. But when I have had feedback, they read it and actually respond.
It did seem pricey at first. But once you take a few classes, it is easy to justify paying $ 10/​class. 100% worth it.
I would definitely recommend this gym– and have to a lot of friends already!

I did the two weeks for $ 20 introductory deal and it was perfect. I’ve yet to meet a Studio X trainer I haven’t liked, and I’ve enjoyed how their individual styles complement the variety of classes offered.
In the six months I’ve worked out at Studio X, I’ve yet to feel any sales pressure. This mixed with the management class sizes has turned me into a convert and I’ve dragged several friends along with me to classes.

Really and truly one of the best gyms/​workout experiences you could ask for! I’ve done my fair share of boot camps, classes, and working out on my own, and I can safely say that Studio X far exceeded all of my expectations.
I love the small class sizes and how personable everyone is (trainers and other gym members alike). Everyone is supportive and motivating without being aggressive, which makes it all that much more fun to show up and do the work. I will be devastated if I ever have to move out of SE.
Highly recommended!

Got the introductory deal: 2 weeks for 20 bucks and I LOVE it.
Awesome gym. It’s in what looks like an old warehouse and has 3 gyms in one (one upstairs and 2 downstairs for different classes and private training). Really nicely renovated with lots of space.
They have a lot of different classes lIke bootcamp style, interval training type classes which I love.
Tim, the owner is really nice and attentive and so are the rest of the trainers I’ve had so far.
All around win!

Awesome gym, coming from someone who typically doesn’t like gyms. Take Jennifer’s Boxing class… you won’t regret it!

Best gym I’ve ever met!
I started with the 2 weeks for 20 bucks and got worked! What makes this place so great is the unique facility, fastidiously clean, welcoming, and inspiring space. Tim, the owner is clearly passionate about his business. The love and care he has for his «baby» comes through.
Classes are small and intimate, so you can’t hide in the crowd and go half-​ass. Trainers are nice people who aren’t afraid to push you to your limits, then high five you when you exceed them. This gym has rejuvenated my workouts, inspired me, and turned this «has been» athlete into a strong and fit warrior for life.
I love StudioX. You will, too.

I just moved to Portland, so I toured several local gyms to find a regular spot. I happened to be looking when Studio X was offering a few free classes for their ninth anniversary.
The short version: My wife and I loved both classes, especially Core Pilates. I also really like their punchcard setup… no monthly contracts, only pay for what you use and its great for me because I enjoy the extra guidance of an instructor over just working out on my own. Read: the classes kicked my ass! I never realized how lazy my workout routine had become.
Great concept, great space that won over a now-​regular customer. :)

I love working out here! The classes are all different, each trainer has their own style of workout and there are always different moves to do that constantly keeps your body challenged. There is nothing boring about working out at StudioX. I’ve been going here for the past six months and initially started out with their bootcamp program, lost 9 lbs. and 8.5 inches in the first 4 weeks! I’ve continued on and my overall strength has only improved, I feel great and look great. They’re unlimited monthly membership is an awesome deal too, with so many class times available 7 days a week, it works well with my busy schedule.

I’ve been going to StudioX for 7 months and LOVE it! The group classes are kept small so you get a personal training feel. The trainers are encouraging and supportive. Classes are fun, yet challenging at the same time. The personal training sessions are tailored to meet your needs. I enjoy working out with Tim [and Chris on occassion]. I thought it would be fun to arrange private classes for my office. The owner was so easy to work with. We just had our first class and the group had lots of fun!, I highly recommend StudioX!

I started going after an invitation from my boss. Being a total n00b with actually working out — their atmosphere is absolutely friendly as well as an intense workout. I really enjoy the boxing and the core strength workout sessions even though my body may not have the endurance as of yet. It is always fun breaking a sweat learning new workouts and I highly recommend boxing for those who are seeing if they want to try working out in a gym for the first time. Boxing really puts working out in another metaphor that just lifting weights for other basic sessions. Always a good experience!

I usually only review food places on Unilocal.I like food a lot, I eat food a lot, and I need a good work out to get rid of the signs of gluttony a lot. I have never, ever, ever, enjoyed the gym experience, until now. I really love this place. I look forward to all of my classes which are small (only up to ten attendants per class). The trainers are supportive and engaged. They make sure that everybody doing the exercises correctly with the max amount of benefits. I have some fitness challenges (if you call lack of coordination a fitness challenge) with which the instructors are patient and encouraging. The owner, Tim, is almost always there and truly cares about all of his clients. If you live in SE, you should go and experience the first week free package. You will be hooked as was I.

Best gym in Portland. Tim has been great to work with. He is very flexible with my hectic schedule and very patient with my questions and concerns. He is more than worth the money.
I go once a month a he works with me to set up a workout I can do on my own. Its the perfect set up for me. I would highly recommend Studio X to anyone who doesn’t want to waste time spent in the gym with an ineffective workout. Tim will help you get the most out of your eating and exercise routine.

I tried out Studio X about 7 months ago and can honestly say I wish I would have discovered it years ago for many, many, many reasons.
Here are a few…
1. Everyone. It isn’t a meat market. It is a creative, alternative, body altering, mind expanding experience to work out with every and all the instructors. No person teaches the same class twice and every trainer has a unique style. They balance putting the fire under you at that moment you are sure you can’t do another push up to genuinely noting accomplishments. Some yell and make noise, others play amazing music, and others make you believe you are the strongest and best version of yourself. I always leave covered in sweat and smiling from ear to ear.
2. Body. I have made a couple friends come that HATE working out. Months later, they are proud of their weight loss, muscle definition, and ability to do things they never had been able to. I think most of the people who teach and work out there were the kids that hated gym class and who walked to a different beat. I loathed gym class and still feel out of sorts with normal. A visiting friend from New York said there is nothing like this there and he wishes he could stick with it because he knows it would change his life. My Mom even says she is blown away by the definition in my arms.
3. Time. I used to work out 5 days a week on my own. It was boring and crowded and I plateaued. It probably added to 8 hours of my life a week. In 2 – 3 hours at Studio X, my body is continually building endurance, I’m stronger than I ever have been, and I am never bored. We are all busy people. The time and efficiency ratios are mind blowing. It is priceless.
4. Cool. Can I just tell you that the studio is really the coolest place around. From the set up of the studio to the people to the absolute lack of attitude… it is just plain… cool.

I love this gym!
I had been a 24 Hr fitness member for ages and decided that I needed to do something to shake up my fitness routine. I took advantage of the 2 week free trial at Studio X and haven’t looked back since. Great owner, fantastic trainers, a whole new way of thinking about fitness for me. A really supportive yet challenging environment. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
