“Gina runs an exceptionally supportive and holistic gym, although I never refer to it as a ‘gym’, since I don’t encounter any of the uncomfortable dynamics many gyms create. I don’t feel the pressure to perform, to look great, to build muscle, but I do feel a warm environment where I can move my boundaries bit by bit. Gina and her team offer personal fitness in the most personal sense of the word. Not only do they teach very precise and detailed exercises and techniques to strengthen my body, they also model a kind and compassionate approach to physical work that allows me to be gentle with myself, while still feeling I progress and build stability and strength. My 25-year old lower back issues have seldomly been this absent in my everyday life. Highly, highly recommended.”

“Like many people my body has things it does well, and things it doesn’t… old injuries, limitations, pros and cons. I’ve worked with personal trainers in various gyms using various modalities over the past 30+ years. I’ve searched for and tried a handful of different gyms in my 16+ years in Portland and finally feel like I’ve found a place that not only takes your goals seriously, but simultaneously meets you where you are and helps you maximize what you can do in an environment designed to avoid additional injury. This goes beyond just what your form looks like, but into the choices of staff, the setup for the gym itself, the sequence of exercises over time, and the ethos of the whole place. Gina has nailed it with Portland Integrative Fitness. I am not only realizing the gains I was hoping for, but I can just be my authentic self in an environment that doesn’t require me to be someone else for meaningful participation. Highly recommend!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Portland Integrative Fitness and the team there. I am someone who historically has avoided gyms and moving my body. I found PIF online just by looking at gyms close to where I live and I couldn’t be happier. Everyone who works at the gym is kind and encouraging. Gina has designed an approach that keeps me working on my edge and excited to come back. Because the routines change every five sessions, I never get bored. I travel a lot for work and I always make sure to have fitness sessions scheduled when I am in town, because I feel so uplifted by spending time in company with the fantastic trainers and investing in my well-being.”

“Portland Integrative Fitness provides the best quality of care out there. They build an individualized plan for you! They can modify and teach movements for your unique weird body needs! They’re so kind and very fun! They don’t make you talk to them if you’re grumpy AND will still make sure you’re not doing that hinge-thingy wrong! I am a former gym rat who got POTS and stopped being able to function for several years. They’ve been a critical piece of my rehabilitation and have set me up to feel like I can return to a less individualized workout space and still be successful.”

I have been a client of Portland Integrative Fitness for nearly 5 years. Gina, Joe, Madison and the whole team are incredible. They will meet you where you’re at each day and create a custom program for whatever your goals might be, big or small. There is no toxic fitness culture here and it’s safe for everyone — all ages, bodies, and abilities. I can do things with my body now that I never thought were possible… and one of them is gardening without my back hurting the next day. It’s the little things yall. PIF is my safe space and I look forward to coming to my sessions each week. Thank you for all you do!”

“I love Portland Integrative Fitness! As a breast cancer survivor seeking to gain strength at mid-life, I was worried about being lost at a big gym. PIF has helped me to rebuild trust in my body and work towards my goals all with a community of people I look forward to seeing each week.”

“Portland Integrative Fitness changed my life! I had the body of a typical desk worker. Hunched over, sitting down all day, sort of troll doll posture. I had back pain, knee pain, and neck pain on the regular. I started working with the amazing people and Portland Integrative Fitness and they’ve gotten me completely out of pain! I can walk, stand, sit, run, move, lift and carry better at 38 than I could at 28!”

“I started training with Gina at the beginning of my first trimester, worked out with her all through my pregnancy, and am now back and building strength postpartum! Because of Gina’s careful (and fun!) programming, I was hiking, running, and working out comfortably for the entirety of my pregnancy. In fact, I was at Portland Integrative Fitness working out the morning I went into labor, which was a much easier experience thanks to Gina. There are a lot of superficial compliments I’ve received during pregnancy and after that are no doubt thanks to everyone at PIF, but what’s most important to me and to the team there is feeling strong, capable, and joyful in movement!”

“I’ve been coming here for over a year, the staff is well trained and super helpful. The workouts are tailored to my individual needs and goals. They take time to make sure I am using the correct muscles and form rather than rush me through a workout and work with my body and its abilities rather than push it too far. The atmosphere is inviting and judgement free and they genuinely want to help me reach my goals. They offer virtual classes that don’t require a gym but I definitely recommend coming to a class if you are able, it’s truly a great experience!”
