Where is the Best Gym in Portland, Oregon?
If you’re more interested in getting in shape, pushing the limits and reaching your personal goals than you are being pitched various products & supplements or being stuck on a machine while your trainer picks his nose and tries to act cool, Extreme Training is the place to go.Extreme Training attracts a Type A crowd that’s willing to pay for the best but expects to get the best because the best is exactly what they get.When I started training at ET, I could do a couple of pushups and lift a *little* bit of weight. Now, I can do oodles of pushups, impress the guys with my benchpressing and I have abs of steel. I’ve always been a reluctant exerciser. Hated being in the gym, hated the meat market feel of a lot of gyms, hated having to show up for something I didn’t enjoy. Extreme Training makes working out fun and a challenge. I’ve been working out with ET for more than a couple of years now and it’s an addiction I never thought I’d have. The gym itself is clean with top of the lin
I have been attending this gym for two months now and I am so grateful to myself for finding the courage to check it out. When visiting PDX I found an info card about the gym and thought it was a great idea, then I watched their video on the web site and was even more inspired…but scared that I wouldn’t be fit enough to join in. It took me 3 months once I moved to Portland, to check it out.In early November, right before my birthday, I met with the owner Tina (she and her husband own the gym) to talk about doing a couple private sessions before taking the classes – I was unable to make the Foundations Class which I hear is a great way to start. I did a total of 4 privates with Tina who was totally not trying to sell me more private sessions, or get me to purchase a pack of classes. In fact, each time we met I had to remind her that I needed to pay her. I got the sense that she was doing this because she loved it and that the business was doing well – she didnt need to beg for m
I never write reviews but I was surprised that no one has ever written a review mentioning Man so I decided to write one now..I’ve been coming to Poshe Salon since they have opened(almost 5 years now) and Man (pronounced mON) was the very first person I was scheduled with and eversince then.. I never tried anyone else. I get everything done by Man; nails and waxing (eyebrows, underarms, bikini.. the whole shabang). Let me tell you.. it is HARD finding the right place to get nails/waxing done. I’m asian so my eyebrows grow differently than others and if you don’t have the right experience with waxing asian eyebrows then it turns out pretty bad. The nails ALWAYS turn outs out great, most of the time I see people who get their nails done at other places.. turn out to look tacky.Besides having nails/waxing done by Man, I come to Tony for hair cuts/bang trims. He’s really nice and does a pretty good job. It’s hard for me to trust people with my hair.. (I usually get my hair done in Cal
My search for an incredible and perfect hair stylist is finally over!! Heather is absolutely the answer I have been waiting for. You guys, she is an angel sent from heaven!!!! I have been to way too many hair stylists and salons (seriously, it’s embarrassing to share all the places and people I have been to in order to find Heather) only to be disappointed. All my haircuts in the past have either been terrible, mediocre, or just something that I am not wowed by. You know those people you see walking down the street and you want to just stop and ask them where they get their hair done? Well….thanks to the lovely Heather, I am now one of those people! I have NEVER been one those people until I went to Heather! It’s not only that other people notice my fabulous hair, but I feel like a movie star now. After years of ‘nothing-special’ kind of haircuts, I was so ready to feel movie star like! Nothing beats when you feel amazing because of a haircut! Heather listens and spends so much time
