When I first dreamed of starting , I envisioned a space where members of all ages and abilities could lift weights, feel empowered, and thrive.

Sometimes I have to pinch myself when I look around the studio, seeing this dream in action—strong, determined, and supportive people bringing this vision to life every single day.

PDXstrength is more than just a gym. It’s a safe, inviting, and inclusive community where you show up exactly as you are, lift heavy things, and find support from folks who genuinely cheer you on.

Come find your strength, your community, and your confidence with us. We can’t wait to welcome you. ❤️🔥

Dave is going to start coaching Saturdays in June! We are so excited to have him join our coaching roster. Give him a big high five next time you see him in class.

I discovered weight training and functional fitness later in life when I joined PDXStrength right before my 40th birthday. Before then, my experience in athletics was as a D3 college swimmer but the lack of good pools in the St. Johns area left me looking for a new way to workout. I’m thrilled to be joining the coaching staff to help share the strength, conditioning and community that I’ve built from being a member. You’ll often find me in the weeknight Group Strength & Conditioning classes or coaching on Sat. mornings.
My main focus as a coach is to meet athletes where they are in their fitness journey. If you want to learn a gymnastics movement (I love working on handstands!), build strength, or just get sweaty, I want to help you have fun doing it! I’ve learned from PDXStrength that the most effective workout is the one that makes you look forward to coming back to the gym.
