This gym changed my life. I’ve been attending this gym for 1 1/2 years. Best shape I’ve been in a long time - I have abs in my 40s. It’s the perfect practice workouts for any competition. I have excellent and dominated all my previous records in the Spartan Obstacle races I’ve been doing the last 10 years.
The workouts are never the same, each day is a new challenge. The coaches are inspiring and you build some great relationships with the members.
You’ll love the owner - Travis. His energy is contagious.

I’ve been going to Iron Valley CrossFit for the past 7 years, and it’s become one of the best things I’ve ever done. The programming that Coach Travis implements is challenging, never boring, and will help you become physically and mentally the strongest you’ve ever been. The coaches and members are always welcoming and encouraging, and working out there is always the highlight of my day.

I can’t say enough about IVC!! It feels like family. My husband and I both go there and even the kiddos love it. The coaches are fully engaged in helping us improve. In the short time I’ve been going, I already feel stronger and I now have goals I didn’t think I could ever have! We love Travis and the gang at IVC! Highly recommend!!!

I've been at Iron Valley Crossfit for almost 8 years now and wouldn't dream of leaving. The coaches do an awesome job of modifying workouts to fit personal fitness levels, motivating everyone to do their best, and encouraging each individual throughout the class. The IVC community is filled with friendly people that know how to work hard and have fun. I love it at IVC!! If you live in the Happy Valley/Clackamas area, whether you're an experienced crossfitter or new to fitness all together, you should definitely come check out the IVC family!!

I started as a brand new CrossFitter a year ago at Iron Valley CrossFit (IVC) and have fallen in love with the staff, the members who have become friends, and the CrossFit culture that they have created there. They celebrate my gains and are very encouraging. I’m no where near the “best” in the group but I feel very welcomed and it’s inspiring to see what some of the members can do. The owner Travis is a hoot and also a beast on another level with his personal workouts. I’m happy to have the opportunity to know these awesome humans.

P.S. On second thought… ! I don’t want it to get so busy there isn’t room for me. 🤨Please don’t come here. It’s terrible and the worst CF gym I have ever visited!! 😉

Great gym, great coach (Travis/owner), great programming and great group of people. If you want a very enthusiastic coach to push you in terms of strength and fitness, IVC is the place. Travis is very welcoming to everyone no matter their level of fitness, and will find a way to accommodate everyone. I would highly recommend IVC.

Both the Boot camp classes and the CrossFit classes are challenging and fun. I highly recommend IVC!

I recently moved back to the area in April 2016 and had been doing CrossFit a little over a year at another gym. Not looking forward to starting over at a new gym, I decided to try Iron Valley out and I am so happy I did, I LOVE it! The coaching and programming is top notch. Travis is so patient and encouraging and gets to know everyone that comes into the gym well. I have made major strides in my fitness and gotten much stronger over these last 6 months from the encouragement of Travis and the fantastic people I workout with every morning. The members embody a true community in and outside of the gym, always cheering one another on. If you’re looking for a box in the area, this is it!

Amazing box with an amazing coaching staff.

Anyone interested in getting in shape, trying a new training program or new to crossfit should consider this there first stop. The coaching staff is great with those who are new to fitness and working on form first and form second. I have been to a number of crossfit boxes and this is by far the best I have experienced. Come try it out and become a member of the IVC family.

Update: Still going to Iron Valley every morning and cannot get enough. I really enjoy the relationships with other members and Travis's coaching style is great! The time to visit the gym is now! Why wait????
____________________________
I started going to Iron Valley in December 2015. Not only has it been awesome to get to know the Iron Valley CrossFit community and Travis Mead but I've also accomplished more than I could have ever dreamed!

When I started I was not working out other than the occasional basketball game. In less than six months, I lost over 25 pounds and feel great!

Not only have I accomplished fitness goals but I have also met some amazing people. I go to the 6 AM class everyday and absolutely love hanging out with Liz, Travis, Nick, Johnny, Meilani, Jeff, Scott, and everyone else. I have never experienced a gym community quite like Iron Valley.

So there is some negative... This morning I did have to drill a new belt loop in a brand-new belt I got for Christmas. It is always fun seeing your waist shrink! I guess that is just one of the side effects of being an Iron Valley member.

I guess this is a pretty and glowing recommendation of Iron Valley CrossFit. Travis is an awesome coach and I enjoy working out every morning.

I have been doing CrossFit for one and a half years and became a member at Iron Valley about 8 months ago. My experience at Iron Valley is head and shoulders above what I perviously experienced at other gyms. I only have positive things to say about Iron Valley’s owner, coaching, athletes and programming.

Things I value and you will find at Iron Valley CrossFit:
Professionalism, safety, positive atmosphere, great coaching, friendly athletes, and well balanced, tough workouts.

More about what you can expect at Iron Valley CrossFit:
Coaches and members will be welcoming and cheer you on. Your personal wins will be celebrated by others. The community at Iron Valley is really friendly, enjoys socializing, and takes the workouts seriously. From my experience, athletes at Iron Valley do not compete to be the best in the class or at the gym, they instead compete against themselves. Iron Valley CrossFit is not an intimidating place to be. I have never felt looked down upon for scaling weights or movements, and I fully believe you will find this to be true too. Owner and Head Coach, Travis Mead, is always helpful, patient and understanding. No matter how many times I ask him to clarify a movement, he takes the time to respectfully demonstrate and observe my technique. You will not feel belittled by Travis or other coaches and members while you are gaining knowledge, skill and strength. I once had a coach (not at Iron Valley CrossFit) who was moody, would bring relationship drama into class, would make me feel stupid for asking questions, and spoke poorly about members in front of others. This simply does not happen at Iron Valley CrossFit and would not be tolerated. Travis and other coaches will always be encouraging, professional, and willing to assist. As a result of the superb coaching and programming at Iron Valley, you will always feel safe. Every 6-8 weeks everyone does a capacity test and finds their 1 rep maxes for different movements. Your weights are tracked by the coaches electronically, allowing them to always be aware of what is a safe weight for you. This makes them capable of being great guides as you build strength and learn technique. The WODs are tough but completely scaleable. You will always leave Iron Valey feeling as though you completed a great workout and that the coaches prepared you for the WOD with a fantastic warm up and strength activity.

Why I chose CrossFit:
Before I ventured into the world of CrossFit in early 2015, my fitness routine consisted of running and the stationary bike. I had never been a member at a gym and had never touched a barbell. I didn’t know what to expect and was a bit nervous. I soon learned that I love CrossFit because it provides a full body workout. I quickly gained strength, a great compliment to the endurance I had built up through running. The functional movements CrossFit focuses on have helped me become more aware of my body, and confident in what it can do.

Why you should choose Iron Valley CrossFit:
Whether you are hoping to become stronger, look better or feel better, I am confident the coaches at Iron Valley CrossFit can help you reach those goals. Iron Valley is a great place for athletes of all levels of experience.

When I got a groupon deal for this gym, I was going to just learn the basics and move to a crossfit gym closer to my house. After only 2 weeks there I quickly realized that I wasn't going anywhere. That was in the beginning of 2016. I highly recommend this gym as a place to workout and make new friends.

It is obvious Travis cares about what he does and he takes time with every member that comes in. It's an inspiring place to come too each day and I encourage people to come. I love it at Ironvalley, and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else.

They genuinely care about all their athletes and work with each individual to help them achieve their goals. The other members are encouraging, fun, and uplifting too. Working out has become a highlight of my day. The workouts are fun and challenging and I love the sense of accomplishment I feel when I leave.

I've checked out a few CrossFit gyms in the Portland area, and I was super impressed with Iron Valley CrossFit! The trainers really know what they're doing. They understand human physiology and how to perform exercise safely, and they know how to encourage and push people to help them achieve their best results.

The community is excellent- I felt welcomed right from the start.

They offer a week trial for free (as of August 2014)!! I have not heard of any other CrossFit gym doing that.

If you've been thinking about checking out CrossFit, this is the place to go.
