Swimming feels like a complete workout, and it mostly is. But time in the pool alone won`t build the strength, power, and joint stability that actually make your stroke stronger. 🏊♀️💪
Our newest blog post breaks down why "dryland" strength training matters for swimmers - - from pulling power and core stability to leg strength for better kicks, turns, and starts off the wall. Plus: how to add strength work without leaving yourself too fatigued to swim well.

Our most popular blog article of 2026 (so far) is "Gym Workouts that Burn the Most Calories", so I decided to do a deep dive on a few of the exercises that made the list. Starting with everyone`s least favorite: Jump Rope. Truly one of the simplest, but hardest to enjoy, exercises ever invented. Apparently ancient Egyptians used jump rope to stay fit (you`d have thought building pyramids would have been enough) as well as antient Chinese!
I don`t know about you but I feel like I`m in an old Jerry Lewis movie when I try to Jump Rope - but it turns out that just going stright from zero to sixty is not the way to start. Now that we know who to blame for the invention, here are proper steps to `enjoy` jump rope:
Use short sets of 15 to 20 seconds.
Rest for 30 to 60 seconds between rounds.
Keep the rope moving slowly at first.
Jump on a softer surface if possible.
To learn more about the how, why and when of Jumping Rope, visit our blog at PortlandPersonalTraining.com.

Strong enough isn’t about chasing elite numbers.
It’s about building the kind of strength that supports real life: confidence, function, and long-term health.
Our latest blog breaks down what “strong enough” can look like for general adults, why it matters, and how personal training can help you get there with a plan that fits your body and your goals.

What makes our trainers different? It`s not a secret program — it`s the relationship.

FORM FIRST. ALWAYS.
It`s not the weight on the bar that builds you — it`s how you move it. Good form is the difference between progress and injury, between results that last and setbacks that sideline you for weeks.
That`s the real value of working with a Personal Trainer: a second set of eyes making sure every rep counts, catching the small breakdowns before they become big problems, and holding you accountable to doing it right — not just doing it fast.
Lift smarter. Lift safer. Lift with a trainer.
👉 Your first session is free — let`s talk form.

Sweaty workouts can do more than leave you feeling tired — they can also deplete the electrolytes your body needs for muscle function, hydration, and recovery. My new blog breaks down what electrolytes do, why you lose them through sweat, and how to know when your body needs more than just water.
