We were dropping in from NY while visiting Portland and loved VC CrossFit. Taking class with Tom was a great experience! He was extremely welcoming, energetic, attentive, and did a great job taking us through the workout from start to finish. Would highly recommend anyone in the Portland area stop by VC!

Coach Tyler is form-focused and manages to provide individualized feedback even when there is a large class.He provided feedback that improved my deadlift form and encouraged me to make changes to achieve faster jump rope.

I had the opportunity to visit for bring a friend. I truly enjoyed myself and will be a returning member. I had been out of CrossFit for some time. I had been reluctant to restart because finding a great box can be intimidating. I was a regular member of Cross-fit SOCO out of Colorado Springs and in visiting VC CrossFit I find the atmosphere and vibe as welcoming as my friends out in Colorado Springs. My experience was awesome and I have also let my Colorado friends know if they are in the area VC CrossFit would be an awesome place to drop in. Thank you so much for your kindness and I look forward to adding your box to my fitness journey and goals. Awesomeness !!

Tom did a great job. He had good presence while going through the workout and clearly explained and demonstrated the movements. He also made it a point to call out people by name which is always a welcome touch. I would definitely be back to VC CrossFit next time I am in Portland.

Love this gym. Great coaches and a very welcoming and supportive community. All of the coaches are excellent. They’re very attentive to each individual’s needs and abilities, and they typically work with clients directly multiple times during a class to help improve form, and adjust the workout to align with each person’s capabilities. They do a great job making people feel good about what they accomplish each day, and they also work hard to build a supportive community among all the participants. Couldn’t ask for more!

This place is great! I’ve been going for 5 months now and have really enjoyed it. I was new to CrossFit and they were great about teaching form and helping me learn new movements. It feels like a community that is cheering for you to succeed. I have noticed strength gains and improvement in my health and physique which is great.

Dropped in for a class while I was in town for a conference. Coach Tyler was very welcoming. We were walked through a good warm up, had a great WOD and a cool down was programmed too. Members were friendly. Highly recommend checking them out.

I started at VC by myself with zero experience lifting weights and very little experience even being in a gym. I was nervous to be a newbie in both skill and knowledge as well as the community. I was so pleasantly surprised by the attentive, kind and encouraging welcome. The coaches are awesome! They kept an eye on me, taught me everything I needed to know and made sure I was doing things correctly and safely. They held me accountable, challenged me and cheered me on every time I came in. I not only built muscle but I also built my confidence. I highly recommend VC Crossfit! Give it a whirl, you won't be disappointed.

I wish I hadn’t let myself be intimidated by the thought of “CrossFit” for so long. The staff and culture here is second to none, and I can’t say enough good things.

If you’re on the fence, just give it a try.

I don’t know what I would do without this gym in my routine. I’d always been intimidated by the idea of CrossFit, but once I put that aside and committed to VC I noticed so much positive change in my life. The coaches and people who attend this gym are inspiring and make it easy to commit. It’s such a welcoming community and works for people at any fitness level. The coaches do a great job explaining the movements for each workout as well as providing modifications (or increased difficulty) depending on where you are at on your fitness journey. They pay close attention to you while working through the movements and provide feedback to ensure you don’t get injured. I also love the structure of the classes as it seems the hour goes by quickly. They start with a warmup/stretching component, then move to skill/strength before doing the WOD (workout of the day). If you are looking to add a fitness routine to your life and see results, commit to this gym. You will not regret it!

I've been coming to VC for about 5 years now and absolutely love it. The coaches are friendly, encouraging and really want to see you succeed in both life and fitness goals. They're extremely good at helping members scale workouts and offering modifications for any movement you aren't able to do. It's an incredible community and I've made great friends while at they gym.

Highly recommend! I was a bit intimidated to return to crossfit. Glad I joined VC -- friendly & welcoming coaches, great co-owners, Tom & Tyler. Fun vibes and playlists. I have particularly appreciated the vigilant coaching: attention to form and movement, with help to correct and improve. The programming is pretty varied with occasional gymnastics and other novel movements. There are options for approachable and more challenging workouts. There's very high level of fitness represented here too -- which is an inspiring environment to workout in.

VC has surpassed my expectations by a lot! Coaches Tyler, Tom, Holly, Brandon and Alex are all social, communicative and supportive. They’ve really helped me feel like a part of the community. I was a bit intimidated to join a CrossFit gym, but I discovered an energetic and friendly atmosphere in VC. Most days, it’s the highlight of my day! Highly recommended for people who are looking a CrossFit gym that offers a very social vibe and lively community (not to mention the sick workout playlists!).

The premier group fitness gym in the greater Portland area. VC CrossFit is hands down the best-in-class option for anyone looking to move their body and stay motivated through support from an amazing community. All of the coaches are extremely friendly & knowledgeable, and both co-owners are incredible humans who are invested in progress for each one of their members. My only regret is not having joined sooner!

VC is a vibrant community with a positive environment.
Coaches are highly knowledgeable, experienced, conversational, and funny. They always pay close attention to athletes, providing valuable advice on personal improvement. Group workouts depending on time in a day are appropriately numbered and distributed, so there’s no scarcity of equipment. In addition, VC hosts periodical events and special trainings, for example, recently there was a squat mobility workshop with a couple of physiotherapists.
In sum, I’d highly recommend for both CrossFit beginners and more advanced individuals.

VC is an amazing place that has built a strong sense of community. No matter what level of fitness you may be at, they have something for everyone. A huge selling point for me was the body composition testing that allows to track your progress with tangible data.

This place has it all and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get their butts whooped (in a good way).

Dropped in for 3 consecutive days while visiting PDX. VC is a very well appointed gym with super friendly members - they even gave me some great recommendations of things to see/places to eat in town. Coach Ty was fantastic (and fluent in sign language - we had a hard of hearing member in class - how awesome is that??). The Saturday partner WOD was particularly fun. Hope to return again!

Joining VC was one of the best decisions I’ve made. When I decided I wanted to try Crossfit, I checked out multiple boxes in the area, and VC was by far the most welcoming the moment I walked through the door. Tom, Ty and all the other coaches are fun and knowledgeable, and you can tell they really care about each athlete’s progress, safety and well-being. You can find good workouts a lot of places, but it’s the people that make VC different. Everyone is here to work hard while always having fun and supporting each other each and every day. Come for the Crossfit, stay for the community!

Fine I'm sure, very nice group, but way too many people for a single trainer. Even if people have experience a trainer needs to check people's form here it's just not possible with the class sizes.

I started at VC 11/15 and it has changed my life. I was unhealthy, had a beer belly and ate out every meal.
Tom and all of the other trainers made it easy to learn and they're very passionate about you, your form and encourage you along the way.
It's crazy how it becomes your lifestyle, you change your diet and general activities to do better and better at the gym. You focus on how everything else effects your overall health and want to improve it. Now, I cook all of my meals, rarely drink and go on runs... For fun, crazy.
I'm currently running high 5 minute miles and squat over 300lbs. I feel and look better than I ever have.
Check this gym out, the culture is inviting and encouraging.

I have been here a little over 5 months and have come to love CrossFit. Yet a big part of CrossFit is the community you are surrounded with. VC CrossFit is an amazing community of athletes dedicated to making you feel welcome and helping you reach your goals!! I have met countless drop-ins leave with the satisfaction of feeling a part of the VC CrossFit community in one class!! That is no easy feat.
