Review of PDX Muscle Gym – Beaverton, OR

I love working out and trying different local gyms and studios, and PDX Muscle really stood out. It’s a family-owned private gym and athletic training studio that recently went through a remodel and added more equipment—which was awesome to see.

I did a drop-in session, but they also offer monthly memberships, one-on-one training, group training, and nutrition planning. During my visit, I got the chance to talk with two of the trainers. They were incredibly knowledgeable—not just about fitness and training, but also about proper nutrition and hormone health. That kind of insight is exactly what I look for in a gym and in a trainer.

Nutrition and hormonal balance are key to real lifestyle changes. It’s not always about pushing heavy weights—it's about finding the right balance. I really appreciated the energy at PDX Muscle. The gym is clean, welcoming, and there are no cliques. Everyone was friendly, and you can tell the owners and staff genuinely know what they’re doing.

Highly recommend if you're serious about training smart and living healthier.

I’ve been training at PDX Muscle for 3.5 years and it has consistently been an outstanding gym. The facility offers a wide variety of equipment suited for athletes at every level. Since the new ownership, the improvements have been remarkable—from upgraded equipment to enhanced cleanliness and better systems. The owners are highly responsive and open to feedback, which shows their commitment to providing a top-tier experience. The trainers are knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive, helping members get the most out of their training. PDX Muscle combines excellent facilities with a professional and motivating environment, making it one of the best places to train in the area.

Used to be a good gym with a good community. I went there for years and loved it. The new owners suck as people and don’t care about their members at all. They can’t figure out how to run a gym and will continue to charge you even after you cancel your membership

Edit to the response: Everyone signed the waivers the owners just don’t know that they stay on file and you don’t have to sign every time. As for the outrageously priced day pass and considering the price of the membership you’d think you’d be able to bring guests in for free like you used to be able to do. Also you think the owners would warn you directly about this and not just the person you brought in. It hasn’t only happened to me being charged like that but to a couple of my friends as well.

Came here to sign up and Alyssa B was incredibly rude to my girlfriend. We left and are never coming back

Edit to owner response: Yes that sounds right. Well, she sure acted like she was a part of the gym. She said she was a trainer. The manager with the beard was inhospitable as well. It was about a year ago; I only just got around to putting in a review.

Awesome gym for the bodybuilder/power lifter who is looking for a serious training facility. Lots of great machines and even a posing station for BB competitors. Only complaint is that there’s only one squat rack, one deadlift platform, and and two bench racks. This is fine if you’re in there at 6am with just a few people but during busy hours like after work you’ll probably have to wait for equipment. There’s a bunch of cardio equipment that I feel like they could pare down to make space for another rack but maybe I only think that because I hate cardio haha. Otherwise great environment and place to get a nasty pump.

I am not a body builder or a power lifter. Mostly performing therapy to injures developed over the last 20 years, but I’ve gone here for a bit. It’s a good gym great location, people are friendly and they have great equipment. Glad I joined.

Okay normally I don’t write reviews of locations unless I had a really great experience or a very poor experience. PDX muscle is an old school type of bodybuilding gym, that honestly looks super cool. Their equipment is dope and the way it presented looks like a place for serious lifters. Once they opened up in phase 1, I signed up with excitement. Not just to workout, however to find a small community of like minded people. A place I can call home, since my previous gym went out of business due to the virus.

However, my experience with the staff, especially one named Dan didn’t make us feel welcomed. Many instances occurred for being called out for equipment use or the “rules” at the gym. At first I was confused and I didn’t think anything of it. So I didn’t let it affect my training partner and I continued to train. However, I was noticing a pattern it seemed to me every time I went to the gym. I was worried of upsetting a trainer which should be the least of my worries. One day, it hit the nail on the coffin when I was called out again for taking over an equipment. There was some confusion, but I was completely yelled out and spoken to in a very unprofessional way. From there I just felt like I didn’t belong here. I no longer wanted endure the harassment given to me, just from working out to achieve my goals. Or using the gym as a copping mechanism during these tough times.

This gym is really cool, however the staff didn’t make us feel welcomed or respected. I wasn’t comfortable even working out. It took one of the trainers to yelled with disrespect to finally just stand up for myself explain what he was doing was not okay. I felt as my training partner and I were called out for things that other members weren’t even talked to about it. I told him and myself that if we really have to worry this much just to train at “our” gym, then it’s not worth this headache. So we decided to leave.

I came to pdx muscle to further myself in my goals and find a good gym community to call home. Unfortunately that was not the case with this gym. One of the trainers there by the name of dan made an unprofessional comment to a close friend of mine. When I confronted the trainer about the issue he decided to justify is behavior by merely saying “I tell everyone, I’m not a nice guy”. After I realized the staff had no intent of owning up to their unprofessional behavior, I decided to take my business elsewhere.

Hands down best gym around, wether or not you are an experienced lifter or just starting your fitness journey let’s these trainers/staff help guide you. Super informational, helpful, and the atmosphere is untouchable everyone here helps and supports others in the gym. It’s a small family atmosphere. At the very least try it out and get a feel for it.

I’ve been working out at with Felton and PDX Muscle for seven years. Felton keeps us moving throughout the workout and has tailored the workouts to meet my goals. His knowledge and creativity make the workouts great. He has a great sense of humor and coupled with new and challenging exercises, he makes the workout fun and interesting.

I started training with Pops over 2 years ago to increase strength and my general fitness. He successfully prepped me for a white water rafting trip through the Grand Canyon and is now keeping me fit for my next big milestone - having a baby! His depth and breadth of knowledge is unmatched. He helps you reach your goals, whatever they may be. 5/5 for the gym, trainers, and members! Thank you for being a place I look forward to coming to every week!

Day in and day out, I find the support I need from coaches, and staff, and the whole pdx team members. The atmosphere is very positive, all of the coaches are very encouraging, even if you don’t work with them. There are options to be a sponsored athlete, apparel for sale, drinks and healthy snacks available for purchase. It’s an all around home away from home for me, and I love showing up everyday. Thank you to all that make the gym run! We appreciate you all!!!

I’ve been working out with Felton at PDX Muscle (formerly Rhino Fitness) on and off for the last year. It’s a great, small gym and recent updates to the facility have been a nice refresh. You’ll see all fitness levels and everyone is very supportive. Felton is an awesome trainer who knows how challenge you. This is not a normal mega gym but it’s right sized for personal training and focused workouts.

I’ve been training at PDX Muscle for over 2 years (previously Rhino Fitness). The gym has improved significantly since new ownership took over. The equipment is great, it is very clean, the trainers/staff are well qualified and the atmosphere is very positive and welcoming. You are able to work out when it fits your schedule, as it is open 24 hours a day. It is setup to work for any fitness level from beginner up to a pro fitness competitor. I personally train with Dan and he has been a great coach and really helped guide me on my fitness journey. I highly recommend PDX Muscle to anyone looking for a great place to work out.

My story is a long one with this gym so I will keep it relatively short.
It’s small which I personally like better now.
I didn’t always because I was under the assumption that if I went to a larger gym, all of us are in the same space of not knowing what we’re doing. Of course that simply isn’t true. So I started coming here because Dan inspired me to feel confident and safe to be in a “family” dynamic if you will where I know if I have a question about lifting etc, I am going to get the answers I need. I love working with Dan! He’s very good at what he does and teaches how to properly lift without invoking feelings of guilt or embarrassment. He knows we are genuinely learning! It’s a wonderful space to work out in and if you try going once, I would be very surprised if you don’t stay. And that’s just the way I feel about it.

PDX Muscle has been my home for years even when it was Rhino Fit Studios. I come everyday and am excited to be there. Everyone is helpful and want each other to see progress with their fitness goals. The extra kicker is that you have 24 hour access to the facility. I can come and go on Holidays and not have to worry about open/close times. It really is the perfect set up if you ask me. I'll gladly support local businesses like this as they're providing the best environment for me. I won't ever go back to any corporate owned gym in the future. Thanks to PDX Muscle for treating me so well over the years.

PDX Muscle I joined back just about 6 months ago and love it. It is clean, the people are friendly, equipment that most gyms don't have which makes the workout a challenge (in a good way). The staff acknowledges you on a regular for your progression and willing to share best practices. Dan Simpson it my go to coach, I appreciate his leadership, and laughs every time I go. This is my happy place and in all that I have learned from him, he doesn't just train but lives out what he trains his clients. It is a place that I refer people to and most recently love the new addition of equipment as well new greeting area. Great place if you haven't tried it out, sadly you are missing out.

PDX muscle is a great facility with positive and motivating staff/members. I’ve been coming to this gym before it was “PDX Muscle”, and all I can really say is that it has improved immensely. New equipment, clean, fun environment. This is one of the only gyms I know of that takes their members advice on new training equipment. 24/7 facility, and a top recommendation in my book.
