Best Gym around. First place I havent felt judged and everyone there is so nice and chill and helpful.

Okay normally I don’t write reviews of locations unless I had a really great experience or a very poor experience. PDX muscle is an old school type of bodybuilding gym, that honestly looks super cool. Their equipment is dope and the way it presented looks like a place for serious lifters. Once they opened up in phase 1, I signed up with excitement. Not just to workout, however to find a small community of like minded people. A place I can call home, since my previous gym went out of business due to the virus.However, my experience with the staff, especially one named Dan didn’t make us feel welcomed. Many instances occurred for being called out for equipment use or the “rules” at the gym. At first I was confused and I didn’t think anything of it. So I didn’t let it affect my training partner and I continued to train. However, I was noticing a pattern it seemed to me every time I went to the gym. I was worried of upsetting a trainer which should be the least of my worries. One day, it hit the nail on the coffin when I was called out again for taking over an equipment. There was some confusion, but I was completely yelled out and spoken to in a very unprofessional way. From there I just felt like I didn’t belong here. I no longer wanted endure the harassment given to me, just from working out to achieve my goals. Or using the gym as a copping mechanism during these tough times.This gym is really cool, however the staff didn’t make us feel welcomed or respected. I wasn’t comfortable even working out. It took one of the trainers to yelled with disrespect to finally just stand up for myself explain what he was doing was not okay. I felt as my training partner and I were called out for things that other members weren’t even talked to about it. I told him and myself that if we really have to worry this much just to train at “our” gym, then it’s not worth this headache. So we decided to leave.

I’ve been training at PDX Muscle for over 2 years (previously Rhino Fitness). The gym has improved significantly since new ownership took over. The equipment is great, it is very clean, the trainers/staff are well qualified and the atmosphere is very positive and welcoming. You are able to work out when it fits your schedule, as it is open 24 hours a day. It is setup to work for any fitness level from beginner up to a pro fitness competitor. I personally train with Dan and he has been a great coach and really helped guide me on my fitness journey. I highly recommend PDX Muscle to anyone looking for a great place to work out.

Great staff, and a clean environment with good equipment.

I started training with Pops over 2 years ago to increase strength and my general fitness. He successfully prepped me for a white water rafting trip through the Grand Canyon and is now keeping me fit for my next big milestone - having a baby! His depth and breadth of knowledge is unmatched. He helps you reach your goals, whatever they may be. 5/5 for the gym, trainers, and members! Thank you for being a place I look forward to coming to every week!

My favorite part was when they hooked it up and stayed open during quarantine

Most supportive gym to go too.

PDX Muscle is by far one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at. Great staff members as well as great gym members. Has some of the best training equipment and it’s open 24/7. I always recommend this gym to people wanting to incorporate fitness into their lives. The coaches are so helpful and it’s a very fun environment to work out at. Don’t hesitate to stop by and check them out for yourself!

PDX Muscle has been my home for years even when it was Rhino Fit Studios. I come everyday and am excited to be there. Everyone is helpful and want each other to see progress with their fitness goals. The extra kicker is that you have 24 hour access to the facility. I can come and go on Holidays and not have to worry about open/close times. It really is the perfect set up if you ask me. Ill gladly support local businesses like this as theyre providing the best environment for me. I wont ever go back to any corporate owned gym in the future. Thanks to PDX Muscle for treating me so well over the years.

My story is a long one with this gym so I will keep it relatively short.It’s small which I personally like better now.I didn’t always because I was under the assumption that if I went to a larger gym, all of us are in the same space of not knowing what we’re doing. Of course that simply isn’t true. So I started coming here because Dan inspired me to feel confident and safe to be in a “family” dynamic if you will where I know if I have a question about lifting etc, I am going to get the answers I need. I love working with Dan! He’s very good at what he does and teaches how to properly lift without invoking feelings of guilt or embarrassment. He knows we are genuinely learning! It’s a wonderful space to work out in and if you try going once, I would be very surprised if you don’t stay. And that’s just the way I feel about it.

Hands down best gym around, wether or not you are an experienced lifter or just starting your fitness journey let’s these trainers/staff help guide you. Super informational, helpful, and the atmosphere is untouchable everyone here helps and supports others in the gym. It’s a small family atmosphere. At the very least try it out and get a feel for it.

PDX muscle is a great facility with positive and motivating staff/members. I’ve been coming to this gym before it was “PDX Muscle”, and all I can really say is that it has improved immensely. New equipment, clean, fun environment. This is one of the only gyms I know of that takes their members advice on new training equipment. 24/7 facility, and a top recommendation in my book.

I cant say enough about how grateful I am to have found PDX muscle and the great coaches there! I personally work with Dan, who is whipping my a$$ into shape! The thing that I like the most is the no BS attitude and honesty from staff and members. I have come from other gyms that had so many restrictions on what I could and couldnt do, I felt like it was holding me back! PDX Muscle has a great variety of equipment for every level of fitness, I highly recommend them!

Great gym with all the equipment you need for exercises including circuit training, boxing, isolation and compound exercises, weightlifting, powerlifting; this gym has it all. Staff is very friendly and always willing to help. Amy (front desk staff) is welcoming and makes you feel comfortable. Very inclusive atmosphere no matter where you are at in your fitness journey. Classes are offered by Coach Dan and energy is always high. If you want a motivating gym family, this is the place to come!

Best gym I ever trained at. Feel very comfortable here. Seriously feels like 1 big family. The people here are very open, honest, and down to earth which makes it hard to ever go back to a recreational gym. This place is growing fast and I am happy to be apart of it.

I’ve been going to this gym for years now, back when it was Rhino Fitness, but with the new name and new ownership PDX Muscle is hands down the best gym I’ve ever been to. There is such a warm welcome as soon as you walk through the doors, with so many great trainers to choose from, and brand new equipment to use. From beginners to pro athletes, I highly suggest stopping by and trying it out!

Awesome gym with a genuine staff. Great atmosphere to surround yourself with. The people are very knowledgeable and welcoming. Go check them out if you haven’t yet!

Day in and day out, I find the support I need from coaches, and staff, and the whole pdx team members. The atmosphere is very positive, all of the coaches are very encouraging, even if you don’t work with them. There are options to be a sponsored athlete, apparel for sale, drinks and healthy snacks available for purchase. It’s an all around home away from home for me, and I love showing up everyday. Thank you to all that make the gym run! We appreciate you all!!!

I came to pdx muscle to further myself in my goals and find a good gym community to call home. Unfortunately that was not the case with this gym. One of the trainers there by the name of dan made an unprofessional comment to a close friend of mine. When I confronted the trainer about the issue he decided to justify is behavior by merely saying “I tell everyone, I’m not a nice guy”. After I realized the staff had no intent of owning up to their unprofessional behavior, I decided to take my business elsewhere.

Love this place! It’s got a great atmosphere and equipment for whatever your fitness goals are! It is super affordable and an amazing diverse community! Everyone is super encouraging, positive, and genuinely cares about you and your goals. Coming from the midwest I am glad I have found my west coast family here at PDX Muscle!

Great gym that is really starting to shine under new ownership. The staff is friendly, the gym is clean, and the new equipment is excellent (even if I dont know how to use it all yet.) All in all a great place to get fit and meditate on who you want to be.

I was a member at Rhino prior to it transforming into PDX Muscle. There is a lot of care and thought that went into the equipment brought in. My husband and both powerlift and have been pleased. It’s a small gym with a big heart. Be prepared to do some work when you pass through those doors.

I started going to PDX muscle about 3 months ago. The trainers are very knowledgeable and make working out fun. Its clean and a upbeat atmosphere with lots of great people. I highly recommend giving it a try.

Moving to Portland, it was important for me to find a community that was supportive and felt like family. PDX Muscle was and is it !!! Everyone is extremely supportive and motivating. Mr. Felton Pop is my trainer, he challenges me and supports my goals. He is the best! :-)

I’ve been working out with Felton at PDX Muscle (formerly Rhino Fitness) on and off for the last year. It’s a great, small gym and recent updates to the facility have been a nice refresh. You’ll see all fitness levels and everyone is very supportive. Felton is an awesome trainer who knows how challenge you. This is not a normal mega gym but it’s right sized for personal training and focused workouts.

This gym is awesome! It has some of the best equipment. Awesome coaches but most importantly everyone their is like a huge family and so welcoming and always willing to give you pointers. If your looking for a coach I definitely recommend Danimal !

Just joined and I have to say that this is by far a better gym then the one I left. Great environment & very friendly staff. You get greeted right when u walk in and the trainers are amazing. Im really enjoying the Monday group classes.

Keri Ann is the best trainer ever and I love pdx muscle! Only gym Ive ever worked out at but I am so satisfied with my experience here so far 💕👌 Keri Ann will listen to your goals and find a way to achieve your goals the best way for you, train with her you will not be disappointed 😊

PDX Muscle has all the equipment for the beginner to advanced lifter. The fun, friendly atmosphere is welcoming to everyone. I love my results from working with a personal trainer at PDX Muscle. Highly recommend.

PDX Muscle I joined back just about 6 months ago and love it. It is clean, the people are friendly, equipment that most gyms dont have which makes the workout a challenge (in a good way). The staff acknowledges you on a regular for your progression and willing to share best practices. Dan Simpson it my go to coach, I appreciate his leadership, and laughs every time I go. This is my happy place and in all that I have learned from him, he doesnt just train but lives out what he trains his clients. It is a place that I refer people to and most recently love the new addition of equipment as well new greeting area. Great place if you havent tried it out, sadly you are missing out.

I’ve been working out at with Felton and PDX Muscle for seven years. Felton keeps us moving throughout the workout and has tailored the workouts to meet my goals. His knowledge and creativity make the workouts great. He has a great sense of humor and coupled with new and challenging exercises, he makes the workout fun and interesting.

Great gym and Felton is a fantastic trainer. 10 out of 10 for the gym and Felton. He understands muscle, nutrition, aches and pains and motivation. He is always ready to step in to assist or encourage! Great guy and I would not hesitate to recommend him!

No flash, all iron

Probably the best gym I’ve been a part of! Great variety of equipment, super friendly atmosphere, and very clean.

Love the Gym! Love the people! Positive and great strength training coaches!

Great gym with great staff and great environment. I would highly recommend this gym.

Its VERY hard finding a great trainer...someone not only knowledgeable about physical fitness, body mechanics, nutrition & kinesiology - but also someone motivating....and that you LIKE. I hit the jackpot with Felton - and he and PDX Muscle are now essential to my regimine of health & well being! #BestTrainer

New name but same gym as it was before - Rhino Fit. Just look at the address. Same run down gym. Not worth it. Its the same gym as Rhino Fit who was owned by Jim Stark of Stark Vacuum in Portland. Its a shame the gym isnt taken care of - filthy and bathrooms look like a truck stop :( No thanks.

I love the atmosphere, great equipment, nothing is broken !!!💞

Friendly, clean, and lots of new equipment!!
