Like so many of the other women who have posted here, I pretty much hated gyms until I started at KFit-- first working individually with Janet Hall and then joining one of her small-group classes. I sought Janet's help initially because my physical therapist told me she was great for clients with osteopenia, and I do feel that the work we've done has strengthened my bones. But it's so much more than that-- I've gained all-over strength, flexibility, dexterity, and endurance. It seems that everyday, I notice some way in which my body is more capable than it was before. The classes are friendly and fun, while being a great workout. And Janet and the other trainers are so savvy about the body that I don't worry that something they'll suggest will hurt me-- certainly not the case in other gyms.

Love this fitness studio. The workouts at fun, the space is really nice, the instructors are awesome, and the ladies I meet here are all super friendly! Bonus points for the cool garage door that they can open up when the weathers nice!

All women gym with exceptional group classes and outstanding personal training. I stopped going to my physical therapy because the work I do with the trainer Melissa helped me ten fold to anything else I've tried for my spine pain. She somehow knows how to push me hard to get a wonderful workout all while NOT aggravating my very sensitive nervous system/pain. Cannot say enough good things! You just have to give it a try.

What I love is that even with the virtual classes during the pandemic that I get great exercise AND feel like I'm part of a community of women all trying to keep healthy. The instructors are funny, fun and always give alternatives and encouragement for doing what's right for my body that day. I look forward to getting back to the gym when the pandemic calms down. Until then, I'll keep doing the virtual workouts because I always feel better after!

I don't go here currently, but I did in the past. Real cool women's gym with extremely supportive instructors, kind clients, and killer workouts! Convenient location to where I live, too. Would highly recommend to the type of client who prefers this setting. There are some things I didn't love, but 1) I'm probably in the minority about these things, and 2) These things aren't exclusive to K fit. Hence I didn't knock down any stars. I didn't like group jogging around the block(s) at the beginning or end of every workout; I don't want to be outside running in front of people and traffic. Furthermore, it stinks to be the slow one everyone is waiting for at the end. No one EVER made me feel bad, but nevertheless, I was embarrassed to stand out in that way. The workouts are also very... interactive. Things like facing one another in a circle while working out, and/or having mandatory partners or groups was the norm. I prefer to work out alone in anonymity, with instructor support for questions or concerns as needed. This is why this didn't work for me.

I am so deeply grateful for this gym and the amazing community that has formed around it. I have been going to K Fit for 3 years now and it would not be an exaggeration to say it has changed my life. I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking at different gyms in Portland online, trying to pump myself up to go try one out, trying to intuit from their website if it was a place I would feel comfortable. Thanks to a friend bringing me to a KFit class, I instantly felt welcomed, supported and encouraged by the awesome owners Tammy and Mary and all the folks working out there. I rediscovered my love of exercise and physically challenging myself at KFit - something I had lost touch with when I became a parent. I love how the classes here somehow always meet you at your level - whether you are just getting back into shape or already a workout pro - and they are always changing so I never get bored. Everything can always be modified to meet your level/ability and everyone is so supportive of one another no matter what. If you are looking for a supportive community of rad ladies to get strong with - this could be your new happy place!

I love going to Kfit Studio! The coaches and community are uplifting and supportive, the workouts challenge you and there is always a variety of stations. Being new to Portland, I was so happy to find a studio to call “home”.

K Fit Studio is more than a gym and great workouts, it’s a supportive community. Every workout is different and guaranteed to break a sweat! My day is always better when it includes a K Fit workout!

I love this gym and the whole concept of "for women, by women." It's a very welcoming space, and Mary and Tammy are great. They will challenge you, help you improve your form, and give you options, since our bodies are all capable of different things at different times. I feel like I found my people and my strength is improving!!

Kfit offers much more than a fabulous, highly personalized workout. It's also a community of amazing women who support one another and offer a variety of resources. From an acupuncturist and Thai massage therapist to a real estate agent and loan officer, my life has been enriched by being a part of the Kfit family.

Kfit is simply amazing! It has a welcoming atmosphere with supportive coaching. After having children and not taking care of myself for a few years, Kfit was the perfect fit. I’ve been attending three classes per week for a year and am still often sore, in all the good ways! The workouts are varied, challenging, and full body, with a perfect mix of strength and cardio training. My favorite class is Tammy’s The Blast! It makes working out fun!

K Fit Studio is a community of women motivated to move our bodies and stay healthy more than it is a gym.This place had changed my life in such positive ways. I’ve gone from being someone who said I disliked gyms and never working out, to absolutely loving waking up before 7am to go move my body and sweat it out before I start my day!I love all of the variety - we do something different every time, all surprise and novelty, no boredom here!Mary’s positivity is infectious and she does an amazing job supporting us to have accurate body mechanics so as to avoid injuries.Tammy is awesome too and you are sure to sweat up a storm in her classes.Conscientious warm-ups, circuit training, TRX, TABATA, group workouts, high intensity interval training, strength and cardio, we get it all.I come 3-4 days a week and really miss it when I am away.I am so grateful for K Fit and hope it sticks around for many many years to come!

I can't say enough about how wonderful K Fit Studio is. Knowing that I need a "class situation" for a work out, K Fit helps to keep me accountable to moving my body. The circuit-type work-outs are always changing, so there is never any boredom and this group of instructors really know how to modify things so that they work for all variety of limited mobility issues that we face as we age or when injured. They also make everyone that attends classes feel welcome and like they are part of a community!Speaking of community, the women in the K Fit community are welcoming, supportive, and frankly, hilarious at times! No matter how grumpy or tired I may feel when I walk in that door, I never leave still feeling that way!Thanks Mary and Tammy and the K Fit Community! (And thanks as well to the other coaches I have occasionally taken classes with - Liane, Kayla, Abby, & Genevieve).
