Reviews

Charlie Anzaldo is a terrific trainer. He has guided me, encouraged me, each work out session is different, keeps it interesting, and his guidance is so light, there is just not a lot of correction, which I have seen other trainers do and don't care for. Charlie is AMAZING, recommended 10/10.

Charlie is a great trainer and has helped me grow my body without lifting heavy weights. Ask for him at the front desk and you won’t regret it.

Justin is a terrific trainer. He listened, always made sure I was safe, and pushed me to get stronger. He greatly increased my mobility which was my goal. I will continue to practice what he taught me and I will look forward to checking in with him on my progress. I wish I had found him sooner.

Leaving this review after 3 great sessions with Tara! She has made custom workouts that are making me stronger and more confident, things that are challenging and easy to incorporate into my gym time. My routines have more interesting and effective movements. She has honed in on areas where I need to develop strength that will serve me beyond our sessions together. Tara is a gem, a natural coach, and an expert who is happy to share her knowledge. I'm SO glad I got paired up with her. THANK YOU Tara!

Excellent personal training.
Great atmosphere.
Kino is the best.

I learned so much in my sessions with Megan! You can tell she has extensive knowledge of our complicated bodies and thorough loves her job! I plan to do more training with her in the future!

I've been working with Evan just over a month he has made the whole experience enjoyable. I had never stepped foot in a gym and was nervous/anxious about getting started. Every workout he goes over how to do each exercise and how it targets each specific muscle group. Even takes the time to text through our the week to check in and see how I'm doing. Definitely recommend him!

My new favorite exercise—TRX-supported squats!! Who knew?! Khino knew. Amazing trainer!

Getting triceps with Khino’s help!

Love this machine = GOLD—thanks, Khino!

I have started training with Charlie at the club and I really like his over-all view of fitness as it relates to the entirety of life and mental wellness. I feel comfortable and accepted and my previous knowledge is valued. Charlie is really the expert, and you can tell this is more than a job to him. He really tailors a workout to your strengths but also makes it fun and is encouraging while you do things that are more challenging. I am especially impressed with his ability to help the many different types of clients he has; but as a woman the respect and compassion has been especially refreshing. Charlie is playful, loyal, inspired and really knows his stuff; don't miss out before he gets famous online!

Khino knows! The man helps this old man gain muscle and improve fitness

My trainer Carmen is the best! I am a very unathletic person who dislikes sports. She is willing to work with my preferences, and pays close attention to my abilities and form. I told her I’m easily bored and so she gives me a wide variety of things to do that make me feel stronger and happier in my body. I wouldn’t go to the gym without her.

Had a training session with Charlie and he exceeded expectations. Showed and explained a lot of new movements that fired muscles I have never felt get engaged. Highly recommend a session with him!

Megan is great! She combines strength and mobility in a fun and challenging session. I always look forward to her workouts!

Charlie is hands down the best personal trainer I've ever had! In just 8 months, he's transformed my workouts into enjoyable sessions, and I'm finally back in the groove of fitness. With his expertise and motivational skills, going to the gym has become something I look forward to. Highly recommend!

Love Chase. Been working with her for 2 years and plan to continue working with her for many more.

I loved working with Charlie at Portland Personal Training. He was knowledgeable, really positive, fun to work with and he worked with my injuries. The facility is great and has a very welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!

Khino is super friendly, highly recommend

I was only able to work with Khino for a short time, but he was still able to significantly increase the intensity and variety of my workouts, and I started to see and feel the results within a few months. I’ve had a lot of injuries in the past, and he was careful to work around problem areas and find solutions so I could still get full body workouts. I would definitely work with him again in the future.

Portland Personal Training's team of trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and I also have noticed a huge change in physique over the past four months that I've been working with them. They've helped me develop a new method of taking care of my body that fits my lifestyle. 10 out of 10 experience. Also, love the gym and community.

I've been training with Khino for four months now, and even though that is a relatively short time frame, his breadth of knowledge around strength and resistance training and application of body mechanics in our sessions has been instrumental in my health and healing journey. I’ve lived with debilitating chronic pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder region for over a decade. Over the years, I have sought various treatment interventions and modalities with minimal relief and, at best, temporary or short-lived. Now, combined with biweekly chiropractic treatment and strength training, for the first time in a long time, I’ve experienced most days with little to no pain. I can’t emphasize enough how impactful this is on my existence– it's like a whole new life! My only regret is that I wish I would have found Khino sooner!

I started training with Portland Physical Training about a year ago and haven’t looked back! I have always felt intimidated by the idea going to a gym and was overwhelmed about where to start and what I could/should do. I needed someone to walk me through how to get the most out of the gym, to give me the confidence to pursue fitness on my own, and to keep me coming back every week.

So far I’ve worked with both Khino and Nataliia who have enthusiastically given me everything I’ve wanted and more. They don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, and they understand my goals and what’s important to me so that we can focus on that every session. I have always felt that I could ask them anything without feeling stupid or like I don’t “belong” there. They are clearly experts at what they do but are very kind and welcoming to newbies like me. I end every session feeling tired but accomplished at having completed the workouts they designed for me. I can’t recommend PPT strongly enough!

I had such a great experience working with Khino as a personal trainer. I hadn't worked with a personal trainer before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, and Khino set the bar HIGH! My goals were 1) get stronger, 2) increase gym-confidence (going into a gym and knowing what to do). He surpassed both of those goals, making me feel comfortable and greatly improving my fitness. Highly recommend!

I strongly endorse Khino as a personal trainer! In the past 3 months, he skillfully helped me shed fat and build strength. With his expertise in personal training and background as a professional weightlifting coach, he's an excellent choice for individuals at any fitness level. Highly recommended for a top-notch training experience, especially to those who are more advanced lifters.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Natalia at Portland Personal Training, and I couldn't be more impressed with the knowledge and expertise she brought to my fitness journey. Natalia is a true professional who is passionate about helping her clients achieve their fitness goals. Her personalized approach to training was just what I needed to stay motivated and see real results. I would highly recommend Natalia and Portland Personal Training to anyone looking for a top-notch fitness experience.

Great facility and my experience with personal training has also been quite good. Alberto sets good expectations and goals in a positive manner. Definitely recommend!

I’ve worked with personal trainers in several different cities, and Khino is great. He has good knowledge of body mechanics, challenges you with every session, but also quickly modifies exercises and keeps it tailored to your current needs day by day. I highly recommend working with him to help you with your health and fitness goals.

Highlight of my travel nurse contract in Portland! Definitely a reason to come back too. Khino was my trainer and we built a great working relationship. Pushed me just the right amount and let me complain when some days were harder than others. Always on time and even worked with me via FaceTime when I was on vacation. Highly recommend Portland personal training and the whole gym.

Phil is awesome! I had 12 sessions with Phil, and coming in for training to supplement martial arts it was great to work with someone who has an extensive background in multiple disciplines. Phil is very knowledgeable, understanding and accommodating of different needs, and very open to try out different exercises and really play in the gym. If you're looking for a dynamic workout with an emphasis on holistic physical growth this is the place to go

So appreciative of the environment for growth that Khino cultivates with PPT.

As someone not familiar with gyms or fitness at all but looking to make a lifestyle change that incorporated more activity and resulted in increased strength and mobility, it was intimidating to start but the process, but from the moment training began it has been educational, welcoming and fun.

I’d definitely recommend working with Khino to achieve your personal fitness goals. Lots of flexible approaches for any schedule and budgets, a great motivational presence, and a boundless amount of fitness knowledge (plus he’s always ready with an appropriate sitcom quote for any scenario). I’ve loved my experience.

I highly recommend. I have been working out with Khino for a few months and have had an incredible experience. He tailors my workouts perfectly for my ability.

Great experience. Khino is an incredible trainer. He really tailors my workouts to my ability.

Khino is the best of the best when it comes to changing your life. Khino’s leadership ways as a trainer teach u not to depend on his guidance but leave u with all the knowledge u will ever need.

13 years ago when I first stepped into a gym, Khino witnessed me doing a squat horribly, out of personal worry about me hurting myself he helped me. Showing me form etc.., I then decided to higher him and after our 3 month contract I was hooked!

13 years later weight training and overall fitness is just a way of life thanks to his leadership. This guys the real deal!

Thanks again Khino! U have no idea how much u your leadership influenced me

Best personal training in Portland! Khino is an extremely friendly, knowledgeable and effective trainer.

Intimidated by gym culture? Me too! I needed help learning how to weight train and build muscle and I got lucky when I chose Portland Personal Training. It's been a life-changing experience.

Khino is an approachable, patient and consistent trainer with a great sense of humor. He leads an amazing team and program. You can really feel the love at this place. The club is so welcoming and safe. The positive vibe is strong and the community is real. Training with PPT has been a balm for all that ailed me, a healing experience; mind, body and soul.

I especially appreciate their intention to create a safe space for queer and non-binary folks. Not even a whiff of toxic masculinity here.

So grateful to PPT for creating a custom fit for me, supporting me to reach my goals, and building skills I'll use for life. A deep and endless thank you from a very happy (and ripped, like, totally shredded) customer.

I have been going to LAC for about 10 years. I have really appreciated the changes made by the new owners. The facilities have been freshened up. The energy of the staff is positive. And the clientele is more diverse. And I particularly appreciate Portland Personal Training and Weight Loss trainers. They are professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. Check this place out if you want to workout at an athletic club that has good facilities at reasonable prices and is inclusive of all types of people.

Had such a great experience here! I worked with Alberto and he was so helpful and encouraging, he always made sure to ask if I had questions and helped me fix anything I felt I wasn't doing correctly. He gave me lots of tips for in the gym, as well as exercises I can do at home! Would definitely reccomend:)

Aly has been a friend of mine for a long while now and when it came to finding someone to help me out in improving myself physically, I had nothing but 100% trust in her for my choice. She’s made every session I’ve had with her a fun experience and has worked with me in specific areas I need work on with no pressure and absolute ease. She’s very personable and patient, which definitely eased my anxiety of coming in to something new like this. She’s shown the aspects of a great personal trainer that I’ve always thought of them to have. I may come out of each session a little achy and sweaty, but at least I’m having a fun and enjoyable time doing it! Her humor and personality definitely will ease up anyone new coming in to this. Trust me, it helped me out! Thanks, Aly.

One of the best decisions of my life! I've always struggled with exercising and intimidated by going to the gym, fear of being judged, lack of enthusiasm and excitement. I contacted Nick and he called me the next day. I explained to him that I don't wanna get overwhelmed, pushed too hard and get bulky. He listened very carefully and answered all my questions in detail and with patience. long story short I've been going to the gym every week since then and man oh man I have been enjoying it. I am training with Derek and he's like the most humble awesome trainer I've ever seen. He's extremely knowledgeable and makes sure you're enjoying the exercise. As cheesy as it sounds I LOVE going to the gym now. There are many different options financially and you can chose the one that fit you most. The gym itself has everything you need. The showers and lockers are super clean and you don't have to rent a locker like many other places, you can borrow a lock from the front desk. There is a lounge area which is very cool and the other day I just sat there working before my exercise session, enjoying a free cup of coffee. Another option they have which I am using as well is a small group training session 3 times a week and honestly it feels the same as personal training session. They focus on your work constantly and help you through it. I like the 1-1 sessions because I would like to discuss each exercise with Derek and sometimes I'm really tired or soar, so he updates the sets accordingly. Just go to a free session, they won't force you to make your mind right away AT ALL. even after a month they ask if you want to continue or not. Hope anyone who reads this would give them and most importantly yourself a chance.

I have trained with Khino and have had a great experience so far. Khino is fun to work out with, always pushing me to go a little harder.I enjoyed working with him a lot.
I would recommend Portland Personal Training & Weight Loss to anyone looking for personal training.

I’ve been training with Khino for about 4 months now, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him, Portland Personal Training and Lloyd Athletic Club.

Khino has an unbelievable depth of knowledge, not only about how best to train to hit your goals but how to do it efficiently and safely.

I’ve made major progress in my personal fitness journey and almost more importantly, I’m learning how to continue my progress on my own if I’m ever traveling or in a new gym.

The Lloyd Athletic Club staff has been incredibly kind and motivating, and the gym is always clean and well organized. It has that community/family feeling that I don’t think you would get at a commercial fitness center.

If you’re considering personal training, I would highly recommend Portland Personal Trainers, and if you’re lucky enough to work with Khino, you’ve won the trainer lottery as well.

SO WORTH IT! I came to Portland in February 2021 and was in desperate need of getting back in shape and I had no motivation to do it on my own, so I looked up gyms with personal trainers and this one had the best reviews. I signed up and was paired with Aly. We met about 3 times a week. She is great with communication, she really motivates you when those reps are getting hard, and she really cares about her clients. I was in school and my schedule was always changing (thanks COVID 😕) and she was more than willing to work with me. She even gave me some great recommendations on food, shops, and sights in the area since I was new to Portland. Oh! And she also put together some workouts for me to do on my own time either at home or at the gym on days that we didn’t meet.

The gym itself has tons of different equipment and is very clean and organized. There is plenty of space, although on busy days you might have to wait your turn to use something. Unfortunately I never attended any of the classes they host but they have plenty to chose from! All of the other staff that I met were very friendly as well, always greeting me when I came in and saying goodbye when I left. It may seem small but things like that make me feel like it’s my family ☺️ I wish I could continue going to this gym but unfortunately my job requires otherwise.

Much love to everyone at Lloyd Athletic Club!!! And especially Aly because she really is awesome! 😉

Khino is a fantastic coach. He pushes for results and give great advice for making lifestyle changes. I'm losing weight and building muscle at a sustainable rate. I feel stronger and healthier every week. I highly recommend Portland Personal Training!

Alina is a great instructor and I really enjoy training with her as well as the results I'm already experiencing. I feel great and always look forward to the varying challenges she offers during our sessions. I've learned a lot from her as she's created, guided, and helped me develop my workouts, all the while demonstrating versatility and patience in her teaching. Her experience in competitive boxing makes it very rewarding to be learning the fundamentals of the sport from her, which I've found to not only be great cardio exercise but a great form of stress relief. Whatever you might want to achieve, I highly recommend training with Alina.

Alina has been my trainer for a little over a month and it’s been a great experience. She has the patience and knowledge to help me achieve my fitness goals!

I have been seeing Carlee Roe at Portland Personal Training since last August though due to traveling and then the pandemic, I didn't have access to training from January through June. Now that the gym has reopened in Phase 1, I have started back for the past couple of months. Carlee and the staff at Lloyd Athletic Club/Portland Personal Training have been following protocol for making the gym and equipment safe for us to use. The club is requiring everyone inside the building to wear masks and to sanitize their hands before beginning to work out, temperature is taken upon entering the building, stairways are one direction, and all equipment is sanitized before and after working out during training. Since racquetball is not being played right now, the courts are being used by the trainers and clients so there's lots of space to be physically distanced from each other (there's just two of us in this court). There are hand sanitizing stations in various places in the building as well. The staff is making sure to count the # of people in the gym at any given time so that there's plenty of space and no chance of any crowding at all. I feel safe using the gym in this manner, and Carlee makes me work much harder than I would if I was doing this on my own, especially because sometimes, at age 65, I just want to be lazy. She's cheerful so it's hard to get mad at her for making me bust my butt 🙂

Khino is an amazing trainer!! He is awesome to work with!

Sean is a great trainer! In one of my recent appointments I stated “this wasn’t the workout neither one of us expected but it was the work out I needed.” That’s the thing, he meets you where you are to get you to your goals, and you get to have a few laughs along the way. Thanks, Sean!

I have worked with PPT for almost 10 years now and I can't say enough good things. I’ve worked out with Carlee for about six months and she is fantastic. She is able to work around my schedule as well as any injuries I have. Her workouts are tough but doable and always new. She’s not a trainer that just puts things on Repeat. So, if you’re in the market for a trainer and you need someone who can actually work with your schedule, then you can't go wrong with Portland Personal Training & Weight Loss.

I’ve got to give a special shout out for an extraordinary personal trainer, Carlee Roe. I've been working with her for about six month now and I can say we’ve made significant progress on all my goals. She listens, help you to develop a plan and then enables you to stick to it. All the while she is making the whole experience fun. Give her a try - you won't regret it!

I've been going to PPT since Sept. 2019 and it's one of the best decisions I've made. I was really nervous about getting a personal trainer and even going to a public gym in general. BUT, I started working with Carlee as my personal trainer and it has been nothing short of amazing! Carlee is so fun to work with - she'll push you when you need it and educate you on good form (and maybe even make you laugh during your reps). I've learned so much about physical fitness from her and continue to learn more with each session. I highly, highly recommend Carlee here at PPT!

Carmen is an awesome trainer. She’s so engaging and communicative. The time passes so quickly it doesn’t feel like I’m busting my butt (until the next day). It’s extremely affordable and I keep goin back. I would (and have) recommend this group to anyone looking to make fitness a lifestyle.

Khino is a great trainer; he will push you to your limits if you like that and always has great advice on nutrition and exercise. I usually walk/run everyday and work out with him once a week. I feel stronger and challenged with every session. Khino is also flexible and listens to what we want or need, such as ending a session with some stretching for example. I look forward to my training sessions every week.

I have worked with Nick for almost six years. I’m in my 70’s and he toned me up and I felt great. I have also worked with Kino. I highly recommend a Portland Personal training.

I signed up for the 1 on 1 training and my trainer, Sharon helped me achieve my goals. He is a very good and friendly great trainer. I have lost 12 pounds in a very short period of time. Highly recommended.

Finally got the chance to train with Aly focusing mostly on legs and the booty of course! If you’re looking for a sweat and an amazing after workout pump you NEED to book one on one time with her (or check out her classes!)
I will be back soon! Thanks again Aly! ❤️

Great team of trainers that work really hard to help their clients achieve their personal goals! Nathan is very knowledgeable and always positive.

I have been running with Carlee Roe for almost 20 years. I always look forward to that call or text each week “ok, where are we going for our run this weekend? How far are we going?” She has the positive attitude, motivation and mentality to keep pushing you. “Oh, you want to go 4 miles? How about 5...?” She’s there by my side encouraging to do more. I always enjoy a good run with CARLEE ROE!!

I trained with Aly and she was amazing! She’s got some amazing insight and knows what she’s doing. It’s fun to learn from her!!

I've been working out with Carlee as a coach for over a year. She is great at motivating me to get the most out of my workouts and makes it fun at the same time. If your looking for a coach that can create a workout based on the results you are looking for I highly recommend Carlee Roe!

Carlee is AMAZING! I have been working with her for the last few years. She listens to what you want, focuses on your goals and pushes you REALLY hard to accomplish them. All while making sure you are listening to your body and making sure you stay injury-free. One of my favorite things about her coaching style is that if there ever is an exercise that is too painful to do, she will always find a way to modify it, while making sure that you are still working towards your full potential. Carlee is consistent, reliable, knowledgeable and always makes sure to have fun. Book a workout class and you will not regret it!

I have trained with Carlee Roe and have been very impressed with her knowledge, focus and dedication to physical fitness.
I have done many extremely difficult training hikes/climbs with her and she always maintains a positive enthusiastic attitude even in some very challenging accents.

Carlee is the accountability coach! She keeps it fun and interesting and, most importantly, challenging. She inspires you to do more and has a keen sense for knowing what your limit is and pushing you to that point, which leads to amazing results. 💪🏼👍🏼🏃‍♀️

I have been training with Carlee Roe for a couple years. She is a great, always on time, knowledgeable, funny and keeps me motivated and accountable. And she can really kick my butt sometimes!

I have been working with Carlee for a few weeks, and she’s been terrific. Results to come shortly!

I had the pleasure of training with Aly at Lloyd Athletic Club for my first time in the club.
Firstly, I was very impressed with the facility. It’s so spacious and has many amenities not offered at 24 where I currently go. Lots of courts for racquetball (how cool!) and plenty of space to work out even at 6pm.
Aly was fantastic. I told her I wanted a lower body workout and she delivered. I was shaking 5 minutes in. She is so knowledgable that I felt the exercises were way more effective than stuff I normally do. She corrected me to make sure i was doing everything correctly. She also is so nice and so professional. She makes challenging exercises fun, even at the fourth set. I felt so accomplished, and i will definitely book another session with her!

I love having one on one sessions as well as group sessions. The groups offer more independence but still allow for a trainer to help you when you have questions. I feel stronger and more confident. Khino is a great guy.. would recommend him to anyone!!!
