Last year (Freshman) was my son's (Jakob) first year playing football. He was pretty scared, but then about two games into the season he fell in love with football. Needless to say, he was quite a bit behind many of the other players, as they had played numerous seasons in the past. A friend of our referred us to EFORCE, more specifically, in their own words, "a great coach." Wanting to give our son the best chance at making the team as a Sophomore next year, my wife and I went all-in to give our son the opportunity to experience optimal coaching. We knew that for Jakob to make the needed progress it would be an uphill battle. We contacted EFORCE and requested he work with the referred "great" coach.
UPDATE: After a few months of attending EFORCE, this so-called "great coach" turned out NOT to be "great" after all...he is "phenomenal." Coach Paul Kraus has taken a young man who has only one year of experience and was full of the love of the game, but lacked the necessary skills, and has instilled in Jakob, not only the skills he will need to succeed, but the character he needs in order to mentally prepare himself, conduct himself, and to succeed himself in his goal to play high school football. My son now takes it upon himself (because he now believes in himself) and does 100 pushups on his own every day and understands hard work, focus, and what it means to not cheat yourself by cutting corners. I know this is a long review, but with tears in my eyes I write this review. Why? Because I see that my son, for the first time in his football journey, believes in himself and is, on his own, driving himself to be the best football player he can be. I owe it all to Coach Paul Kraus (Milwaukie/Portland, Oregon). Thank you, Coach Kraus, for investing in the most valuable person in our lives, our son. #EFORCE

My son Tom has been training with Jordan at Eforce for over a year now. It has been a great experience. Jordan is a fantastic trainer and really connects with Tom. He is stronger, faster and excited about going to the gym and staying fit. And we can see the results on the baseball field. He is hitting harder, running faster and is just generally more athletic. I can’t recommend Jordan and Eforce more!

If you’re looking for a well guided and supportive fitness program Eforce Fitness is your place. Dan and Brett are knowledgeable and can adapt to anyone’s ability level. I’ve been going to the 5am class for 2.5 years and have been able to lose 30lbs and increase my overall strength tremendously while maintaining my weight which has been a struggle for the last 15 years. I highly recommend and there’s no better to get started on your health than now!

I have been apart of Eforce for several years and what I love most is the constant encouragement and the variety of workouts. Coach Dan is always there to make sure we are not only pushing ourselves but also making sure we are doing it safely and effectively. Eforce isn’t just about pushing weights around, it’s about total body improvement whether it’s with conditioning, weightlifting or nutrition. Coach Dan is always willing to pass along his knowledge.

After my kids had such success with EForce Performance, both earning D1 sports scholarships, I decided to join the EForce Fit program for myself. I knew I had a long journey ahead of me to try and undo a few years of personal neglect. So far I have been able to stick with it for almost two years thanks to the amazing trainers like Coach Dan, and the flexibility afforded by the program. Dan does a great job of providing a program that is challenging, but can also adjust exercises to varying levels of skills in a group setting. The smaller group settings start every 1/2 hour in the mornings and provide both the flexibility to accommodate busy schedules as well as welcoming and supportive workout partners to stay motivated. I would recommend giving EForce a try no matter where you are in your fitness journey.

I started training with Dan in Jan 2023, it’s been a positive experience ever since. I had zero involvement working with a trainer and very little in the gym.
Dan has proven to be a patient and understanding coach. He’s also a great teacher, extremely knowledgeable, and supportive.
One of the things I appreciate is he doesn’t give lip service, when he says “good work today” I know I’ve earned it.
He’s exceptionally hard working and committed to helping everyone reach their fitness and health goals no matter where you come from.
If you want to make a positive change to your health and fitness goals I highly recommend Dan @ Eforce Milwaukie. You’ve got nothing to lose but everything to gain with Dan as your personal trainer….”everyone has to start somewhere”

I’m very happy to have found Eforce! My goal is to build strength and improve my overall fitness. I am achieving that due to the insightful and targeted workouts prepared by Dan Ketchem. I love it when something that was impossible becomes easy like a glute bridge using a medicine ball. Or when 15 reps replaces 10 and I can do it! The atmosphere is friendly, supportive and respectful. The schedule is flexible because life happens. I strongly recommend Dan and Eforce. Oh, and I also like the availability of PT and massage all in one place.

Dan is the Man :)
I have been training with Dan for more than a few years now and I can't imagine where I would be without him! He is professional, patient and knowledgeable. Most importantly, he adapts training to my needs rather than his preferences. He pays attention to any injuries I have had and is morally supportive.

I have been working out at Efit since 2019. I cannot say enough good things about Coach Dan. He is a true professional and puts as much thought & effort into training our fitness group as he does into training high school, college and professional athletes. He is always encouraging & I have definitely gained strength & confidence. Dan’s emphasis is on challenging each individual and getting the best results while maintaining safety, in my five years at Efit I have never been injured. Thanks Dan, I love this community you have led!

Had a wonderful training experience with Dan! He was very patient and thoroughly explained each step as well as how to properly do every exercise. I don’t remember the last time i had such a planned and detailed workout. Working with a trainer like Dan made me more confident going forward with going to the gym. The gym can be an intimidating place if you aren’t sure where to start, but Dan made the process easy and boosted my overall faith in myself. Would 100% recommend working with him!

I have been training at EForce with Dan for several months. Prior to this I had been working out on my own on and off for years, but in the time I have been consistently training with Dan I have learned so much more and gotten stronger. Dan is SO knowledgeable. He is always so helpful with form and explaining the why behind the exercises. I couldn’t recommended training with Dan enough! He has helped me reach goals that I didn’t think were possible!

If you’re looking for an awesome personal trainer, I would look no further than Dan! On our first session, he did a great job at meeting me where I am at in my fitness journey. His attention to detail and advice has absolutely improved my workouts and helped me achieve my goals. He walked me through my workout routine, helped me improve my form, and I have definitely felt a lot more confident in my workouts since working with him.

Paul Kraus is the BEST! My son has been going to camps with him since 2019 and most recently the Trenches program. Can't say enough how much he has learned and grown over the years. Paul even takes the time to come to the games to support the kids when he gets a chance! Would definitely recommend for anyone looking to grown their knowledge of the game!

I’ve been training with Dan since 2018. We’ve trained in the gym, with dumbbells and a bench during the 2020 craziness, and most recently in my expanded home gym that Dan helped me configure. Dan’s approach to programming is systematic and strategic and never fails to get results-my 1RMs go up on all my major lifts every cycle, without fail. We’ve also had the opportunity to sit down and chat about fitness programming and I’ve learned more from Dan about periodization, energy systems, and physiology than I’ve learned from some textbooks I’ve read. He’s one of the most knowledgeable trainers you’ll ever be lucky to find and more than that, he puts his knowledge into practice with his clients and himself to get real results. Dan’s an incredible trainer and a quality person. Go to eforce and train with Dan-you’ll be glad you did!
(Well, maybe except if he makes you do Bulgarian split squats, lol. But that’s another story … :) )

Full disclosure: Daniel (Dan) is our son and we’ve been getting fitness advice and coaching from him for about 10 years. Fitness has been his passion since he was in high school. As senior citizens, we depend on Daniel to keep us in shape and mobile as we struggle with the day-to-day physical realities of aging. He adapts our workouts to our lifestyle and time availability. We live thousands of miles from the Eforce facility, but Daniel makes it work. It’s never too late to get started. If you have kids that are training at Eforce and it’s working for them, then you should give it a try. You won’t regret it.

I’ve been working out there for 4 years now and every single trainer has been AWESOME. From working with Hayden, James, Jordan and Dan they know there stuff. You will have great relationships with all of them. They are very adaptable to your needs and how your body is feeling. If you want to get quicker, faster, stronger, more explosive and more conditioned, decrease your chance of injury, this is the perfect place. It’s the right way to workout for an athlete as well for anyone! It works. Trust the process!

We cannot say enough good things about the youth program at EForce! Our daughter has been attending for just about a year and we have seen tremendous gains in her abilities. She has been working with Jordan and he is amazing. He does a great job of motivating the kids and getting them to perform while still making it enjoyable for the kids. We are so grateful to have found such high level training for younger kids.

My kids have been going here for years. They’ve received phenomenal 1:1 attention and purposeful workouts tailored to their athletic pursuits — some of which are endurance sports and some are not — like baseball, cross country mountain biking, basketball and skiing. They go year round and look forward to every visit. Jordan is a trusted mentor and coach to both of my boys. I cannot say enough about EForce for consistent strength training and profound student athlete development.

EForce is an amazing establishment. My boys have been going there for almost 5 years. They have become not only amazing athletes but have learned proper nutrition and lifting that will benefit them their whole life. It’s not like your just another person in a gym. They care about each one of their clients and their success. They offer so many different programs and camps to meet everyone’s needs.

My son has been training with a facility like EForce since 2019 (changing to EForce around 2021). The strength training, 1:1's, and small skills groups they offer has only been beneficial for him. He wants to take his sport, football, to the next level (college), and if it wasn't for EForce that would be difficult. The staff and coaches are very knowledgable about what he needs and truly care about him. We will always be affiliated with EForce one way or the other over the next few years.

I am in the best shape I have ever been and I’m in my 40’s. All the coaches have such knowledge that they can adapt the workout to whatever level you’re at. They all take the time to know your strengths and weaknesses and help you build to achieve your goal. Never leaving!

The EForce staff worked with my son to help prepare him for the rigors of competitive HS football and lacrosse. After a highly successful senior year in both sports, he’s now moving on to play in college. The holistic focus, including flexibility and explosive power, are what sets this approach apart from other trainers we’ve worked with. Highly recommend you give them a shot for your athlete!

The EForce Fitness classes are wonderful! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and make the workouts so fun. I love the new Milwaukie facility! We had my son's birthday here, and it was a blast. Obstacle courses, basketball, baseball, and a space for food and drinks. I highly recommend EForce!

Both my son and I train at EForce and absolutely love it. EF is so much more than a gym. It's a community where everyone always supports and encourages one another no matter what is going on, both health related as well as in our personal lives. Unlike standard gyms, EF really feels like a group of friends all working together in an effort to live our healthiest.

I have been with Eforce for almost 5 years, and it has been by far the best gym experience I have ever had. Being a part of this group of people means constant encouragement not just from the knowledgeable coaches but also from fellow members. You can go anywhere to lift weights or run on a treadmill but at Eforce you get the variety of heavy lifting and conditioning with the confidence of knowing you are being led by expert coaches. From individual training to small group to group classes there is something for everyone here. Even those who are just starting their fitness journey, all levels of experience are welcome.

The basketball and performance training at eforce are top notch!
On the performance side they have all of the knowledge and expertise to train young athletes appropriately for their age and sport. They do it in a way that decreases the risk of injury while increasing their performance.
The basketball trainers are extremely knowledgeable and great at working on what is needed for each athlete. We have used the Shot Lab quite a bit and find that to be an amazing extra benefit to take your shot to the next level. Rudy has been amazing with our son and has even taken the time to work with him on the mental side of the game during training sessions as well. I highly recommend eforce!

Eforce sports performance is the elite sports performance facility in the northwest.
The staff is amazing and outstanding in customer service. Friendly and pleasant to work with. My kids love the training sessions and the coaches stress fundamentals, which as a parent, is the most important thing to me.
Highly recommended for anyone looking to involve their kids in extra training!
Thank you EForce!!

As a former college athlete I grew up with top quality coaching and wanted nothing less for my two boys. After searching all around Oregon I was so pleased that my family found EForce. The entire staff was top notch from day one! I could not ask for a better group of professionals to help push, motivate, and encourage my two sons into the student athletes they wanted to become. If you are looking for a place that actually takes an interest in your child then don’t hesitate one more minute. Alex Brink and Ryan DePalo and their entire team have cultivated my boys into respectful, hard working young men that have actual goals and know how to achieve them. Thank you to the entire EForce staff!!
