PDXstrength started as an outdoor bootcamp in Cathedral park. I saw a gap that needed to be filled, and wanted to build a class based fitness studio that provided a place to build healthy relationships with our bodies and fitness. As the cold weather approached every fall, our participants begged to find a warm indoor space to keep the party going! Established in 2012, PDXStrength has quickly become one of the top rated gyms in Portland, OR! PDXstrength is woman owned small business that’s an inclusive and safe space for the St. Johns community to workout. We strive to deliver only the best to our clients in terms of Classes, Personal Training, Nutritional Advice and of course a fun experience! PDXstrength is a positive and welcoming community. We are an anti- diet culture gym that believes fitness is for EVERYBODY! We get asked if we are a Crossfit gym, and we are NOT. Come join us, learn, get strong, socialize and have a blast!

Client Testimonials
” I love your classes and I have seen so many changes in myself this summer. I have ran five 5Ks between June 1st and Sept 15th, and I have lost ten pounds since last Christmas! I have also noticed so much muscle definition, and overall tightening up. I have also noticed I am much less sore after class, especially if I come to both Monday and Wednesday classes. Also I feel SUPER guilty for skipping class on Wednesday. But I think that is a testament to the fact that working out regularly is a lifestyle now. and taking time off to nurse running injuries is necessary, but I don’t like it!
For most of my life I was inactive and I was basically a couch potato, struggling to get to the gym and feeling guilty for not working out on a regular basis. But no more! In 2013 that all changed and I’ve lost weight, and I officially a runner, and I love high intensity work outs (which I honestly never thought I would). Some new goals for age 29 and for 2014 are to run a 10K and to be able to do a real full push up (I”m working on counter push ups at home now). Eventually I want to be able to do a chin up or pull up (I can’t even get close to one now) but I don’t even know where to start to train for that. Anyway, you and your classes have been a HUGE part of my journey. I just wanted to say thank you!”
“I absolutely love this gym! The programming is fun and challenging. The trainers cultivate a positive and lighthearted atmosphere. The classes work for all skill levels from novice to experienced. Best of all, I am finally meeting goals that eluded me during my three years at a Crossfit affiliate!!! ”
“I’ve been training with Jocelyn for a few months now and i just love her! I’ve been a member at westcoast fitness where she teaches classes and trains for the past 2 years. The first time I took her class “strength and stamina” I was amazed! First by how hard it was and how out of shape I was, but also by her enthusiasm. She really kicked our butts! In a good way! She modifies things to accommodate injuries or for your level of fitness and also shows you how to make things more challenging. I finally decided to look into training with her privately and found that she was super affordable. She develops workouts based around your goals and emails them to you afterward. She’s always available for questions and doesn’t mind when I ask her to show me an exercise 10 times because I can’t seem to get it.
I meet with her weekly, but she gives me that drive and motivation to go to the gym. I finally have a purpose other then the elliptical! She has shown me easy workouts that I can do alone ( not all at the gym as I have a son and sometimes need to work out at home) in as little as 30 min! I broke my toe and was unable to do much for a while but she showed me workouts I could do that were low impact on my foot. She’s awesome and I’d recommend her to anyone! I finally feel like I know what to do to change my body and how to become a stronger more fit version of myself.
She’s awesome!!”
