Fitness centerAbout the Club
Kara Johnson, Diane Kenney and Crystal Merrow, are highly trained and committed fitness
instructors who worked closely together throughout the pandemic. We stayed loyal to Excell
Fitness (a long-time workplace for us) during the first shutdown, teaching free Facebook live
classes for months. After the gym closed for good, we wanted a way to keep our community
together. Two months later, we started Level Up Cycle and Fitness, as a virtual gym, offering a
full schedule of Zoom classes. Through the tremendous support of the Newberg-Dundee
community, we were able to open a fitness studio designed with the
same passion and community spirit that we were all born from. Welcome to Level Up!

I've been "Leveling Up" online since May with this amazing studio full of talented, beautiful, encouraging and inspiring women. I'm from the NW, but I now live in Arkansas and found out about the opportunity to use their incredible service using Fitli and Zoom from a mutual friend. It's very affordable and user friendly to join.
I take classes with them every weekday and have noticed so many benefits. I wouldn't be as disciplined all on my own, but if you sign up for class and don't sign in, you'll miss your chance, so it forces me to be accountable.
I absolutely love the positive vibes from these sweet ladies. They make you feel seen, appreciated and acknowledged. They are all so caring and kind, willing to work with you and support you if you need to modify for whatever reason. There's a lot of sharing, laughter and joy sprinkled into their fantastic fitness classes.
I take all the morning classes that I can which include Diane's Strength Express (30 min), Diane's Yoga (1hr), Diane's Core (30 min), Kara's Full Body Strength (1 hr), and Kara's Barre (1 hr). They are all great and plenty challenging for me. I did have to acquire some dumbbells, bands, kettle bells, a bender ball, yoga blocks, sliders and a fabric slider mat (some I had and some I purchased), but now that I'm all set up, it's easy to join in and follow along with class. I've taken a couple classes with Crystal on the weekends (Saturdays), which they rotate class types and teachers for. She's a real treat to take class with, very real, humorous and speaks in a fun manner. Evenings don't really work for me to take classes with my family, dinner and such, but if you can, she's great. I would highly recommend her.
Diane's yoga classes are very unique and specific to her own teaching style. I've been practicing for 27 years and I find them engaging and challenging. She doesn't go deep into spirituality, but rather, keeps it focused, light-hearted and fun. She does ladder flows, so you're building the flow one pose at a time each side, so there's plenty of opportunity to practice the moves over and over again. It will definitely challenge your balance and stamina. There's a lot of time to stretch and rest at the beginning, middle and end, but there are also moments of high-intensity and sweating. I honestly don't know how she squeezes it all in. Her Savasanas are particularly restful and juicy. In a nutshell, I really love her yoga classes and encourage you to try one or many. 😉
Kara is a real "butt-kicker", as I like to call her. She's oh so sweet and cute though. She does really fun music playlists for her classes that are very motivating. She's a great cheerleader to the folks present in studio and the "Zoom" crew, which includes me. It's also worth saying, in case you've never done Zoom, that you can choose to hide or share yourself on video, so no worries if you're shy. Even if she can't see you, she'll still say hi to you and acknowledge that she knows you're working hard and thank you for joining her at the end.
I am just SO eternally grateful for this wonderful community that I now have access to from a multitude of states away! 🙏 I've even been able to take them with me on vacation to Miami and continue working out. I live in a very rural area where we just don't have many options and I'm truly a class junkie/group exercise addict, so I really am thankful for the service.
If you're local, go check 'em out. You won't regret it. And if you're not, be like me and join them online anyway. 👍

Level Up is a game changer! The owners are a group of strong, inspiring women who have built an incredible gym. I love how each instructor brings their own style and flair to their classes. The class variety is one of my favorite things about this gym. There are SO MANY OPTIONS: Yoga, Barre, backside burn, cycle, strength, boot camp - there really is something for everyone, with lots of different times to work with your schedule. This team has all the best energy & it really shines in the community of members that I really believe are a group of kind, encouraging and inclusive people cheering each other on while having a blast in class. Diane, Kara & Crystal are excellent owners & instructors who are passionate about fitness and how it can improve your life. These women make classes so fun! The membership options are excellent - including a ZOOM membership for getting the Level up experience from home or travels. The facility is clean, well stocked with anything you might need. It's conveniently located between two coffee shops - so your pre and post workout needs are double covered. I'm incredibly grateful for this gym & community.

More Than a Gym
Level Up Cycle & Fitness has been so much more than just a gym for me — it’s therapy, it’s wellness, it’s community, and it’s one hell of a workout.
From the moment you walk in, the energy is welcoming and real. The coaches really know their stuff. They’re not just there to run a class, they’re there to help you grow. Crystal, especially, has been the best personal training coach I’ve ever had, she delivers the truth you need to hear, but always with kindness and care. She’s the kind of trainer who remembers your goals, notices your effort, and actually wants to see you show up and succeed. Crystal is my go to, but I believe that all of the coaches here offer that type of experience.
This place has become a part of my life in the best way. If you’re looking for more than a cookie-cutter workout and want to be part of something that genuinely lifts you up, Level Up is it.

I was beyond excited to find out there was a spin based gym in Newberg. After my introductory class I was hooked. I love all the classes - cycle, boot camp style strength, yoga, barre and much more. Kara, Diane and Crystal are passionate instructors who have built a beautiful, inclusive community. There is something for everyone at Level-up Cycle and Fitness.

We visited Level Up when we were traveling to Newberg and had such a fun experience. Kara was so helpful getting our large group booked and Crystal, who led our class, was great. So glad we found you and, if we are ever in the area again, we'll be back!

There is such a positive, motivating, inspiring, welcoming, inclusive, and encouraging atmosphere at Level Up. I always leave feeling better physically, mentally and emotionally than I did when I walked in the door. The kids room is a life saver for parents needing childcare during workouts and the playroom is a fun place my kiddo looks forward to.

Level Up Cycle and Fitness' origin story resonated with me when I "found" them in summer 2023. Since then, I've taken classes from all the teachers, mostly through Zoom. I love the convenience of working out from home. I especially enjoy Diane's yoga classes. She's a terrific teacher.

Level Up completely changed my life! I struggled for years with motivation for fitness and challenging myself when I would just go into the gym alone. Group fitness classes at LU helped me not only learn proper techniques, but gave me confidence and inspiration to show up 5-6 days a week and kill every workout with passion! The community that Level Up has created is admirable and it feels so amazing to be apart of it. You can show up on your worst day and leave your workout feeling like a brand new you. I cannot thank all of the instructors enough for being my cheerleaders and friends.

I have been going to Level Up for over a year, this place has brought me back to myself after having a baby and probably turned me into the strongest and healthiest version of myself I have ever been. I look forward to working out with this community and with each of the instructors every time I walk in. I am so thankful that working out is no longer scary or daunting to me, I have felt supported at every level of my fitness journey. I am constantly inspired by the women in class with me and our collective consistency motivates me to stick with it even when it's challenging. My current faves are Full Body Strength, Barre, Boot Camp and Yoga :)

I have taken a class with all 3 instructors. Not only are they knowledgeable about health, workout techniques, GREAT MUSIC TASTE, they come up with unique workouts every day and MOTIVATE YOU!!! I can not recommend this gym enough. The encouragement and interaction and direct relationships are my game changer that make me roll out of bed and show up each day. I love the humor, the push, the community of women who I have met and just are so friendly. The ZOOM options make it so awesome to work out even when I’m on vacation or not able to be in person. The accountability to sign in -in person keeps me from slacking off and sleeping in. Seriously best all around gym FOR MILES!!! Kick it into high gear with the best instructors ever!!! Loving my LEVEL UP ERA!!!!

I was so nervous when I moved to Newberg that I would not be able to find a place that was more than just a gym. When I found Level Up and headed to my first class all nerves went out the door quickly. This is everything I wanted and more! The instructors are fabulous. The atmosphere is positive and it makes me feel good walking in and out the door every time. Im grateful to Kara and ladies for creating such an incredible space to workout.

This place has opened so many doors for myself and many of the other beautiful people who strengthen themselves here. Through lifting, cycling, barre, and especially yoga, I have found the movement my body loves! Each instructor brings their own unique energy to their classes. The owners are three power house women who will encourage you through every season and get to know their clients. They are involved in every aspect of their business which is HUGE. You won't get that kind of service or involvement anywhere else.It's not just a gym. Honestly, it's a huge beautiful family that encourages one another to level up! Level Up is one of a kind.

This studio has been life-changing for me and my family. I joined shortly after they opened, took a break (which Level Up facilitated so easily by the way) when my daughter was born and was welcomed back with open arms in the studio and online. When I was newly postpartum, hearing “Ashlee, yay you’re back” was just the motivation I needed to reclaim some time for myself. The kids room for “Little Champs” is lovingly staffed and filled with educational and fun toys and activities. My infant and preschooler both have a blast while I get some much needed self care. The instructors are the best I’ve ever worked with - committed, caring, hardworking and a joy to be around. Every one offers a unique experience, so there’s something here for everyone! Level up is a community you’ll be so glad you joined.

Level Up is more than a place to just get your sweat on! You'll join as a stranger but leave as family! I've been working out with Kara, Crystal and Diane way before they opened this studio. And when they opened this place two yrs ago, of course I followed them over! Their cycle studio is a vibe, the strength classes will leave you sore and the yoga classes will make you feel all nice and limber! Every instructor has their own style so try all the classes and see which one fits your needs!
