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. I never in a million years imagined I could start a gym, but 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, Fitness, 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! Come join us, learn, get strong, socialize and have a blast!

Client Testimonials

“Jocelyn’s classes are always challenging and she helps you discover your body’s potential and how to push yourself that extra mile.

“Best workout ever! The classes are challenging and fun. Jocelyn & Laura are awesome. They are inspiring, personable and friendly. The boot camp classes have a good mix of cardio, strength and focus on form. Convenient location and a recommendation from a neighbor first brought me to Jocelyn’s classes and now I’m hooked!”

“I am 29 and I have been working out with Jocelyn for the last five years, four of which, she has been my personal trainer. For the firstyear, I attended her regular classes at the local gym and fell in love with her enthusiasm, teaching approach and positive energy. Some time later, I came to the realization that I needed that extra push and one-on-one time to reach my health goals – improve my strength and lose 15 pounds. That is how Jocelyn became my personal trainer. In one year, she helped me reach my best shape ever! I slimmed down and push-ups felt super easy. Jocelyn also guided me through the most physically challenging period of my life – pregnancy and postpartum. Together we pushed through days of fatigue, aching back, and tired knees and feet. I felt very fortunate to have Jocelyn there to cheer me up and customize every workout. Each exercise was beneficial and at the same time gentle on my body. I highly recommend Jocelyn as a personal trainer to everyone! She will create a fitness plan exclusively for you and will push you to reach your personal best.”
