Whole Body Fitness: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Brandon has both a solid and nuanced understanding of physical training that has helped me meet my goals. My workout has given me increased strength and flexibility in areas I'd previously associated with the inevitability of aging. The personalized program he created incorporates a variety of exercises that keeps things interesting, and his positive attitude and supportive encouragement provides a comfortable working environment.
Thank you for the positive feedback. We have loved watching you get stronger and more confident - we especially love the way you've taken what you have learned with Brandon and stretched yourself to practice independently! Your commitment to improving, regardless of age, is brilliant.
Fantastic experience: Excellent trainers and facility! 10 out of 10. If you want an intimate, welcoming and EFFECTIVE training studio, go to Whole Body. I was a client at Whole Body for over a year (coming several times/wk) before I moved out of the area. I saw two trainers (shout out to BRANDON) who helped me immensely. As someone who's exercised my whole life, I simply didn't know what I didn't know. I learned proper form and that was GAME changing. Now, I can do group weights and feel confident that not only am I avoiding injury, but I'm working out the correct muscle groups to stay strong and functional in my movement. As someone who's been in 7 car accidents, this is critical for pain relief and mobility. Brandon specifically taught me a stretch for my knee that changed the way that I respond to different types of discomfort in my body. What I mean is that I used to feel knee pain and STOP. Obviously, this actually increases the pain and decreases mobility over time. He showed me how to stretch my knee in a specific way (that I'd never seen before) when I start to feel some discomfort in my knee. It relieves it every time--and I get back to strengthening. My knee, hip and core strength are SO much stronger. Tiffany, the owner - is awesome. Great business all-around. Go see them!
Thank you for this kind review, Dawn!! So glad we had the opportunity to work with you and that the things you learned here continue to serve you well. Here's to more pain free living:)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a personal trainer. I am beyond grateful to Brandon for his patience and expertise in adjusting each movement technique to fit my capabilities. I got more pain relief out of the first three months training with Brandon than I have in years of physical therapy. He takes the time and listens. I am confident that Brandon treats all of his clients with the same care, respect, and discernment to set them up for success to meet their individual goals safely.
Really happy you had such a good experience working with Brandon, we are lucky to have him! You're right, his expertise and patient demeanor is something he gives to every client.
Fantastic experience: Such a fun place to get fit. Brandon is the best personal trainer I've ever had. He's engaging, hilarious, encouraging and keeps things challenging. I've never looked and felt this good before ...
Yay for fitness and fun! Thanks for sharing your kind words here and for bringing the smiling energy with you each session. Here's to your continued health, keep going!
Fantastic experience: I've been working out with Brandon for over 2 years and it has been such a positive experience. Brandon has deep expertise in weight lifting, injury prevention and remediation, and empathy for women's concerns (childbirth and recovery, hormonal fluctuations, etc). I have gotten noticeably stronger since I started working out with him. He's one of the greatest humans I've known and I feel lucky to get to spend time with him, and get stronger in the process!
Love hearing this positive feedback, thank you! Brandon is a gem. So glad that his versatile expertise, coupled with your curiosity and hard work, made a difference in your life. Getting stronger in all the ways makes life better:)
Fantastic experience: Over the course of three years of training with Brandon, it's been amazing to feel my body transform, with back pains eliminated as my core strengthened, and feeling stronger in my day to day life. His guidance and oversight helped me understand proper techniques, and provided accountability that encouraged me to keep up the work. His training sessions are very responsive to my goals and to how my body is feeling on any given day, and I love how I feel afterwards. I 100% recommend Brandon and Whole Body Fitness!
Thank you for sharing your experience here, Joshua. We appreciate your perspective and value the feedback. I'm glad you are feeling stronger day to day and are learning proper technique from Brandon. We are lucky to have him as part of our team and lucky to have your trust!
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Brandon at Whole Body Fitness for about three years now. When I started, I had a lot of sports experience in my past, but basically zero strength training experience. Over these three years, I had a serious hip arthritis diagnosis that eventually led to a total hip replacement less than three months ago. Brandon has been a fantastic trainer throughout. He strikes a wonderful balance between a welcoming, relaxed atmosphere and a professional, work-hard attitude. Workouts are always fun, in no small part because Brandon keeps things challenging and provides motivation so that I always feel that I can meet those challenges (even when I actually can’t). Brandon makes sure to keep things progressing, even if that progression is tiny, so I never feel that frustration of not moving forward. The hip arthritis/replacement surgery led to various modifications, of course, but with those in mind, I have experienced all of my desired outcomes: increased strength, increased flexibility/mobility, and weight loss. There are small things, too. I used to experience somewhat-regular lower back pain. I have not felt that pain in over two years. I choose to work with a trainer because I have trouble with self-motivation, and in the beginning, I thought it would be better/safer to get professional guidance rather than going it alone. My initial thoughts were that I would plan to transition to self-training, but I have grown to value the benefits of working with a professional like Brandon. Working with Brandon means that I don’t worry about programming my workouts, tracking my progression, or even motivating myself to workout. For people like me who find it difficult to create that drive internally, personal training is a gift. On top of that, Brandon himself is a font of up-to-date sports science and training knowledge. He is also fantastic at watching and tracking my form, etc. so that I no longer worry about injury. Brandon is excellent at creating a workout environment that manages to feel safe and nurturing while also motivating and challenging. At no time have I felt like Brandon was giving me some kind of one-size-fits-all program. From day one, everything has been about my stated goals and needs plus what Brandon observes during our sessions. Everything is so clearly tailored specifically to me and constantly changing in reaction to my performance. With Brandon’s support, encouragement, and guidance, my goals feel easy to achieve - all I need to do is the physical stuff. I would recommend Brandon (and Whole Body Fitness in general) to anyone considering getting personal training. Personal training is, by its nature, expensive, but I can confidently say that I get far more than my money’s worth.
Tom, such kind and thoughtful words! So good of you to take the time and share your experience, it is appreciated. We enjoy seeing you every week and I know Brandon loves working with you. Here's to your continued and impressive success!
Fantastic experience: I went in with some sports injuries and resilience goals but very little knowledge of what I needed. Every session Brandon was so careful to check in with what hurt and shift workouts to build support and strength without causing more damage. This is a place that truly feels like they partner with you to help get you to where you want to be!
Thank you for the review, Josh! I'm glad you felt supported and cared for at Whole Body Fitness. Brandon has a thoughtful approach with clients and I'm glad you were satisfied!
Fantastic experience: This place is great. I signed up after significant health challenges. Tiffany was very thorough in making sure I was ready. She found the perfect trainer for me and made accommodations when needed. Killian, my trainer, is great. He’s knowledgeable, encouraging, pleasant, and has helped me make huge strides. I would highly recommend Killian and Whole Body Fitness.
Thank you, MaryRuth! So kind of you to share your thoughts and experience with us. We are so glad you joined our community and are getting the training you want and need. Here's to your continued health!
Fantastic experience: Easily my favorite gym/personal trainer experience. I reached out to Whole Body Fitness before relocating to Portland, Tiffany called me back soon after, and it was an excellent conversation. She asked about my goals, gave me thoughtful and helpful responses, and, a few weeks later, I was in the gym. After evaluating my goals, she paired me with Brandon as my PT. I can't speak highly enough of my sessions with Brandon. He's incredibly knowledgable, insightful, and an excellent PT and teacher. I told him early on I wanted a solid foundation to make sure I performed each exercise correctly, and he got it; he always made time to explain why each movement should be performed a certain way and how it related to other, more advanced movements. He'll push you, but he's not pushy. It felt great to make noticeable progress during my time there. I plan on booking more sessions with Brandon in a few months. I highly recommend Whole Body Fitness, especially if you're looking to build a strong foundation.
Thank you, Brad! This is so great to hear and we are thrilled you've had such a positive experience. We will look forward to working with you again in the near future. Welcome to Portland!
Fantastic experience: I started my workout journey with WBF in September 2018 and now I can’t imagine change my workout location. Tiffany and her staff doing everything for me to accomplish my goal and they’re open if i have any suggestion. They all are great coach : Sarah, Gigi, Camille, Scott . I feel confortable with all of them. Thanks Tiffany and coaches :-)
Thank you, Edwina!! We can't imagine WBF without you:) Your growth and determination to improve are inspiring and we are lucky to work with you!
Fantastic experience: Working out at WB Fitness with Tiffany has been one of the best decisions I have made. Tiffany has been great to work with because she is very tuned in to what my body needs. She listens very well to how I am feeling and creates the workouts accordingly. She exhibits a great balance of being a motivator but also a great listener. I have gotten into a lot better shape as a result. Plus, she is a good person who is nice to talk to as well. Highly recommended!
Jordan, so very kind of you to share such a review. Thank you! It has been my privilege to work with you, watching you grow stronger and more resilient. Your quest for information and focus on ways to improve your health is part of why I love my job. Bravo!
Fantastic experience: I LOVE this place. I've worked out with Tiffany, Sara, and Bekah. I'd recommend all of them to anyone. I don't always feel like going, but when I do, the time flies by and I feel 100% better than when I walk in. Not only are they friendly, but they provide a variety of workouts and it never gets boring. If you're looking for a personal trainer, go to Whole Body Fitness!
Thank you, Jihan! We love working with you! You're continued effort and fun disposition make it easy. Looking forward to the continued progress!
Fantastic experience: Hands down this place is the best! I've never been a gym person and I was skeptical to join. I'm so glad I did. I decided about 1 year and half ago to make some major shifts in my life, and getting myself to a healthy me was my number 1! I was paired up with Tiffany and I'm so glad that we met. She literally changed my life. She is so kind and fun and pushes you to do things you had no idea your body could! I saw a transformation and I was hooked. She is so encouraging without ever being pushy. She listens to what your goals are and is dedicated to helping you get there. There is zero judgement on her part, i always felt supported by her. She fosters a culture of acceptance and loving your body at whatever stage you are at. I would recommend Tiffany and whole body fitness over and over again!!
Thank you, thank you for the kind words, Sarah! We have enjoyed working with you in so many ways and are very grateful you found us. Here's to the fun pursuit of your growing strength and health!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Tiffany at Whole Body Fitness for almost a year, and I cannot say enough good things about the experience. Tiffany has been the best trainer I have ever worked with- she is so knowledgeable, works with any injury or deficit I have, and has helped me establish strength and a routine I have never had before (plus she is an amazing human). She has changed the way I view the gym and how it can support (and unlock) all the activities I like to do outside. I am so grateful I found her!
Danielle, thank you for these generous words! You have been a delight to learn, grow and work with. It's our privilege to be a part of your constant quest for health and are so glad you trust us!
Fantastic experience: Now that my first 24 session package is coming to an end I wanted to share my experience at Whole Body Fitness. I honestly didn't know what to expect when I first met with James. Starting out as a 200 pound, 43 year old man that hasn’t consistently worked out since high school I didn’t know what to expect when considering a personal trainer. Like many people, I’ve tried the standard gym membership, but never really knew what I was doing and never really saw any change. Even though I felt like I needed a personal trainer, I didn't know if I'd sign up when coming in for my consultation and even after I did sign up, I questioned myself. Is this going to be a another version of my standard gym experience? I started working with James to get my nutrition on track. We talked about my fitness goals, and planned how to achieve those goals. James took the mystery out of the whole process. He explained nutrition and how my body uses what I eat. Something I’d never considered before. Early in my sessions, James had me start working with Bekah who I can't say enough good things about! If before starting at WBF I had to describe my expectations for an ideal personal training experience, Bekah would easily exceed all of them. She’s thoughtful and fun to work with, easy to get along with, she challenges me every time we work together and she keeps the workouts interesting. Her encouragement motivates me to push harder than I think I can. She has made a daily impact on my life. Work hard, lose weight, gain muscle, sweat a lot, breath, create new habits and have patience because change doesn't happen overnight, but it will happen. Anyway, all of this to say that after 24 sessions I'm seeing and feeling the changes I was looking for. I'm looking forward to my next 24 sessions, and for any hesitation I had starting with WBF, continuing with them stopped being a question for me a long time ago. Thank you James, Tammie and Bekah!
Thank you, Matt!! Bekah loves working with and helping you reach your goals!
Negative experience: Great people unless they aren’t working directly with you
Fantastic experience: Thank you! Your Methods work!
Fantastic experience: I've really enjoyed working out with James this past month! I have learned a lot about nutrition, strength training and weight loss We are already starting to see changes in my body. I can't wait to continue working with him over the next two months to get in hot shape for my wedding!
Fantastic experience: Really great experience with my trainer, Steve. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Personal training atmosphere as it should be! Trainers are professionals and experts, I asked a thousand questions and they gave me a thousand thoughtful answers. Maybe because they're local, they feel more vested in clients, opposite of many intimidating counterparts (I've shopped around). The workouts, the equipment, everything is organized and clean - really a pleasure to work out in this space, so glad I found them!
Diane thank you, we are always striving to be aware and familiar with the latest trends and findings in the industry. Most of all we love sharing this information with our clients and teasing out the reason why we design such specific programs to each client's needs.
Fantastic experience: My experience with Whole Body Fitness was great. Steve is extremely knowledgeable and made it so I didn't dread coming to training. Haha... I was actually always surprised how fast the hour passed by. I told him what my goals were, and he really helped me make them a reality! It was a good before and after. ;) I'm still excited about this fitness journey. Steve will help you stick to it both in and out of the gym.
Yeah Aranda, your progress has been amazing and we are so happy to accompany you on this journey.
Fantastic experience: Alyssa and Tammie are awesome and super-patient. I've had some ups and downs, but Alyssa has always been positive and given good suggestions when needed.
We are always here for you and love your positive energy when you walk in the studio!
Fantastic experience: Don't hesitate a minute longer - come to Whole Body Fitness! I've been training weekly with them for 2.5 years. The proprietors Tammie and James take great care to hire good people with great attitudes and fresh ideas. I'm the strongest I've ever been, and I've got to go now because I have to go pick up my pants from the tailor (they all had to be taken in at the waist!)...
We all are so proud of you Carrie! Your dedication to this lifestyle has been truly inspiring!
Fantastic experience: I've been working out with steve for the last several months, and have made a lot of progress on my goals. Steve is a good teacher, and provides a good balance of push and encouragement.
Fantastic experience: Whole Body Fitness is a stellar establishment. My trainer works so hard to ensure that I am doing moves correctly and has spent the time trying to figure out what we need to do to get my core stronger and my mild back pain to disappear. The staff and owners are really great and definitely get to know you and what your goals are. They go above and beyond to help you reach your goals. Highly recommend WBF for personal training.
Thank you Christina! We enjoy working with you on your goals and seeing you achieve them!
Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Whole Body Fitness! It is extremely helpful to have a personal trainer to help and encourage you to accomplish your goals, and here they put the whole picture together with not only exercise and weight training, but also nutrition. If you are struggling to be in the best shape you can be, this is the place for you! After only a month of training here with James, I'm already beginning to see results. Go to Whole Body Fitness, and you will not be disappointed.
Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with my experience at Whole Body Fitness. All the trainers are incredibly knowledgeable, kind, caring and attentive to your journey. And they love what they do! The whole premise of the gym is to look at the body holistically, and that makes all the difference if you're really trying to improve your health, wellbeing and body sculpting. The equipment is in excellent condition, and the overall cleanliness is top-notch. If you're looking for a tailored experience with a great coach, you've found the right place.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Whole Body Fitness, and specifically Tammie, as a trainer for anyone wishing to achieve their fitness goals. The location is convenient, the equipment is clean and up-to-date and the atmosphere is always welcoming. I work specifically with Tammie, one of the owners, who is extremely knowledgable in the field of fitness. I am constantly inspired by her positive and encouraging attitude; she has been great at tailoring each workout to meet my specific needs. I can’t say enough positive things about this place!
Fantastic experience: Whole Body Fitness rocks!! I've been working out with Jim and Tammie, the owners of Whole Body Fitness, for years now. They are extremely knowledgeable and have many years of training experience behind them. Our workouts are goal-oriented, individualized, energetic and fun, and Jim is continually providing great advice and motivation to push me to the next level. Additionally, they are able to provide expert nutritional advice, which is the key to success when it comes to diet and exercise. I can't recommend this awesome studio gym enough.
Fantastic experience: These people really know what they're doing. In addition to friendly and helpful trainers, Whole Body Fitness boasts a wealth of knowledge and experience in fitness and nutrition. They are great at helping you set realistic goals and accomplish them through encouragement and accountability. I strongly recommend checking them out.
Fantastic experience: Amazing! I After years of injuries and bad habits my body was in pretty bad shape. I experienced pain every day from old scar tissue, joint instability, incorrect movement patterns, tendinitis, and severe neck pain. After working at Whole Body Fitness for over a year I can say that I have improved 100%. Not only have my injuries gone away but I have now moved past rehab into intense strength training! They truly understand how the body works and know exactly how to cater to what you as an individual need on any given day. The work never stops! I am always pushed to work harder and to keep improving. James and Tammie are wonderful people and really understand what it means to run a business. They treat every client with respect and courtesy and only want what is best for you! Don't go here if you want a cookie cutter workout from a magazine. Go here if you want to change your life!
Molly, your dedication to the process is undeniable and your continued success, inspiring! So proud of all your hard work!!!
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Whole Body Fitness for the last 3 months. I'm not a gym goer, and because of my complicated back and neck issues, I knew I needed a personal trainer. I've been mostly working with James, who has been awesome. Our workouts are fun, challenging, and most importantly target the areas I need to work on. James is extremely knowledgable and has tailored every work out to help me meet my goals. I've been working with him twice a week, for 1hr sessions. He is a great motivator, pushes me in the right direction, and keeps me accountable. He also does nutritional counseling and really sticks to the motto "whole body" fitness. I'm forever greatful to Whole Body Fitness. It is an intimate gym with caring, knowledgable trainers who work together to help you meet your fitness goals, provide nutritional counseling, and give you greater confidence and a heathier body. Who doesn't want that? I highly recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: My experience has been excellent. My body is stronger and my eating habits are much improved. The personal guidance, encouragement and accountability have helped me look much better and feel great about myself. It is a worthy investment. Many thanks to Tammie, James and the staff at Whole Body Fitness.
Steve,
It is always rewarding to see clients such as yourself put into action the tools you learn while training here!
Fantastic experience: I started working out at WBF in March and could not be happier with my decision. Tammie, Juniper and James are true professionals who truly know about fitness. Every workout is different so you are never bored. The workouts are always challenging leaving you feeling strong and satisfied. The trainers are very patient and I believe they honestly care about my progress. I am also very impressed by how the trainers are living the life they are professing making them true inspirations to all of their clients. Thanks to Whole Body Fittness I know I have all the tools to a healthier future and look forward to using their services for many years to come.
Miss Emily, You have impressed us each and every workout. Your positive attitude is intoxicating and we look forward to your appts and helping you achieve new goals we set forth each and every workout. Plus, I know you love the balance ones!
-WBF
Fantastic experience: I plan to train with WBF for years to come. The husband & wife owners, James and Tammie, have years of experience and only bring on the highest caliber of trainers. Every time I finish my work out, I feel 10x better than when I walked in. They care about their clients, they love what they do and it shows. I've learned more about fitness, nutrition and my body than I ever thought I could in only three months. And I couldn't be happier with the results. I'd highly recommend anyone to WBF, no matter where you're at. They will tailor a program to your needs and show you how to meet your goals. Their prices are fair, they never push for sales and will have you feeling your best. :)
Donica, You have made such great progress. We love seeing you not only meet your fitness goals but exceeding them! It is clients like you that make us proud to get up and do this every day. Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: There's nothing like the feeling that someone cares about your well-being. Tammie, James and the WBF team are focused on helping you help yourself as well as kicking your a** into shape with tailored, challenging, results-focused workouts. I'm a believer in positive change - Tammie is helping me to further understand the complexities of the mind/body connection and how to reach my goals, even at middle age. She is appropriately considerate of my individual concerns each time we have a session. And if that isn't enough, I also love that the team continues to educate themselves. I am a skeptic of any newfangled knowledge, so knowing that the teachings are thoughtful and well-rounded is extremely important to me. This team will whip you into shape as well as give you tools to continue to stay health-minded for the long term.
Alissa, thank you for making your health and well being a priority. We are constantly continuing our education in order to bring you and other personal training clients the best and most up to date information. We not only hold you accountable but ourselves as well!!!
Fantastic experience: Whole Body Fitness offers top level personal fitness training and nutrition counseling that provides results. I've lost 5 lbs of body fat in my first two months with them - and that includes a lot of travel time away from Portland where I'm simply implementing what I've learned in my sessions. The level of professionalism and sound advice is unparalleled, as is the careful listening and understanding of the client's individual needs. I feel optimistic that I can achieve not only my general health and fitness goals, but also some level of improved strength and sculpting that I never before thought possible. And it's fun.
Blair, so happy to hear that you are taking what you have learned in the training sessions and actually implementing them into your routine while traveling. It has been a pleasure to continue to work with you on your fitness goals and see the progress you have made, keep it up!
-James
Fantastic experience: I have been working out at Whole Body Fitness for a few months now, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience so far. I think the idea of working out with a trainer can be a little intimidating at first, but Tammie and James make you feel very welcome. Not only will your body change, but so will your view on exercise and movement in general. I highly recommend taking a nutrition class, too - so much to learn. They make each session interesting and I always walk away feeling as though I've learned something new. Sure, personal training isn't necessarily cheap, but it's an investment in your overall health happiness. And if you find yourself on the fence, trying to decide whether or not you can afford it, just think of how easily money is spent on going out to eat or a night at the bar. In the short time that I've been with Whole Body Fitness, my overall physical and emotional state has improved exponentially, and I believe that anyone who walks through their doors will have the same positive experience.
Leslie, it is always a pleasure working with you. You bring so much to our workouts, your energetic personalities and dedication is inspiring to others in the studio. It has been a pleasure to train with you and look forward to helping you reach your goals this year!
-Tammie & James and The Team at Whole Body Fitness
Fantastic experience: I never thought I would work with a personal trainer. I thought it was too self indulgent, too expensive and unnecessary. Something shifted when I read an article about the philosophy at WBF in the Laurelhurst Living magazine. What captured me was an emphasis on functional strength and balance. Since recovering from breast cancer, I was aware that I had lost a lot of my strength and balance and it concerned me. Still, I was skeptical when I called WBF to schedule an informational session. I was still unsure when I signed up and committed to 24 sessions. I even had buyer’s remorse until I had my first session with my personal trainer, Jeremy. Our first session together, and every session since has been informative and challenging. Jeremy is impressively knowledgeable about how the human body works and how to gain strength and correct imbalances. He is well read, passionate and enthusiastic. I trust the exercises he chooses for me to strengthen the areas I am the weakest. I feel safe trying new exercises with Jeremy right beside me making sure my form is correct, that I am not going to hurt my spine (due to severe osteoporosis). I am already feeling stronger, more energetic and excited to continue with Jeremy and WBF.
Enid, thank you for not only letting WBF into your life but taking the leap to empower yourself! You are always a pleasure to have in the space and it has been a gift to see you reach your goals!
-James, Tammie and the entire team at Whole Body Fitness.
Fantastic experience: My time in the studio has been very fun and rejuvenating! Thank you Jeremy for being the professional that you are! Your knowledge and enthusiasm for your field is inspiring!
Trevor, thank you!
Fantastic experience: A five-star shout out to for Jeremy at Whole Body Fitness! I have been training with Jeremy at WBF now for 5 months and he is quite simply “THE BEST”. He has a great understanding of how the body works and how to get the best performance out of you. No “cookie cutter” exercise programs where you feel you are just “going through the motions”. Jeremy’s training style is functional fitness (though he does all kinds of training). The sessions are always different, evolving, and specific to your goals. Jeremy is truly passionate about fitness and a great motivator! As someone who previously did NOT like working out, I seriously look forward to my sessions at Whole Body Fitness. Each time I leave the studio I feel like I have given myself a tremendous gift. No other investment will bring you this much happiness!
Jakki, thank you for all your kind words. We take great pride in knowing that our personal trainers are the highest qualified and trained fitness professionals in Portland, Oregon. Your dedication and fabulous attitude are contagious and we too, look forward to each session. Plus you crush the "bonus workouts!"
Fantastic experience: Working with Tammie has made such a huge difference in my overall fitness and strength. I have recommended Whole Body Fitness to coworkers, friends and anyone looking to start seeing some positive changes in their fitness and health.
Thank you Whitney, we enjoy working with you and bringing you new challenges to crush! Your dedication to the process has been great! Keep it up!
Positive experience: I’ve been working out with Tammie for 4 months and Juniper for 2 months. I appreciate both their different styles and knowing that if either of them are on vacation, I can continue my training without learning someone new or feeling like I didn’t get a good workout. Both of them challenge me consistently, so I continue to learn and stretch into what my body and mind is capable of doing. I generally feel strong and confident enough in my body. I’ve been at WBF in multiple times of the day and multiple days of the week. I appreciate that the place isn’t swarming with people and both Tammie and Juniper are able to adjust as space and timing allow. Overall, I am getting what I came for and more.
Eva, Thank you for your warm and kind words. We work hard to create a non-intimidating environment free of judgement here.
Fantastic experience: I have been very pleased with my experience at Whole Body Fitness. Tammie and James are always professional. Tammie makes my training experiences positive and effective. I really feel that she is invested in my success and has helped me set reasonable goals. I have trained at a variety of places and find this one-on-one experience to be one that I enjoy the most!
Sylla, Thank you and keep up the amazing work!
Fantastic experience: James' nutritional advice was clear, direct, and—best of all—it works. He challenged my assumptions about how much and how often I need to fuel my body, and I've already seen major results from his suggestions. I would 100% recommend a one-on-one nutritional consultation and body analysis, I'll certainly be back for more.
Allison, we believe that once you understand how food fuels your body you are equipped to make the healthy decisions about what food works for you and helps you reach your health and fitness/weightloss goals.
Fantastic experience: James and Tammy are both very knowledgeable and personable trainers - as are the other folks they have on staff. I appreciate that they take a no-nonsense, but realistic approach to health and fitness that combines exercise, nutrition counselling and measuring progress using body composition (not just weight). The workouts I've had seem to fly by because the WBF trainers change up the program constantly and incorporate a variety of equipment/techniques. As someone who is admittedly 'gym phobic', I've found the culture at WBF to be supportive and friendly. This is definitely the place to go if you want to make a real investment in your long-term health and well being.
John, It has been our pleasure!
Fantastic experience: I have worked with Tammie and James at Whole Body Fitness (WBF) for nearly a year now. I have thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated their expertise and support during workouts, nutrition counseling and outside of the gym. Since my time at WBF, I have become the most active and fit I have ever been (I’ve lost 6% body fat too!!). With my training at WBF I have found a new appreciation for running. Prior to coming here I would have never considered myself a runner—maybe a lousy treadmill jogger at best. This past spring I ran my first half marathon! I would have never considered training for such an event without the immense support of Tammie. I am currently training with the Portland Marathon Clinic with Tammie for upcoming events. Both Tammie and James have a great amount of passion for what they do and are extremely positive people that are a pleasure to work with.
Caislin! You have been an inspiration to many! It has been amazing to watch your transformation to a healthier lifestyle.
Fantastic experience: Tammie and James have both done a fantastic job helping me lay the groundwork for a healthier and more active lifestyle. Not only have they begun to teach me how to better utilize my workouts, food journaling and menu planing but they have been able to teach me why they have me working on what they do. With their help I’ve successfully increased my strength while simultaneously taken steps towards a much healthier weight for my size. Finally, Tammie and James are both easy to get along with. They have found a good balance between pushing me out of my comfort zone while always remaining likable, respectful and engaged during my time with them. Perhaps that’s an odd thing to mention here but this last point is why I started looking for a new trainer in the first place and I’m so glad I did. My time with Tammie and James at Whole Body Fitness has been nothing but exemplary.
WHat kind words Lucas! We truly love training with you as well. It is so rewarding to see you become stronger, fitter and more empowered! We look forward to continuing your journey with you!
Fantastic experience: I've been working out with Tammie for 3 months and it's been a great experience. The workouts are tough but I always look forward to our sessions. Tammie is a great cheerleader and motivator. She's great at explaining how and why certain exercises work. And she's committed to helping her clients be successful outside of the gym, recommending other activities and talking about nutrition.
Jen, thank you and I look forward to knowing that whatever challenge I create for you - you are always ready to tackle it with a positive attitude!
-Tammie D
Fantastic experience: I've learned quite a bit about nutrition and body mechanics while exercising. I feel more mindful and excited about the changes I've made with the encouragement of Tammie and James.
Elizabeth, Thank you and it was a pleasure teaching you how exercise can be a positive addition to your lifestyle. Finding mindful balance is what it is about!
Fantastic experience: After just twelve sessions at Whole Body Fitness (WBF) over eight weeks, I feel great and am stronger than I've been in years. I'm eager to keep going and push myself to accomplish some audacious goals for someone my age. What do I want to do? Play full court basketball on a team again, do my first triathlon, run a 10k race and place in the top 10% for my age group, look great in my "skinny" jeans and trim fit shirts...yep, all that and more. I'm eager continue training and accomplish goals I didn't think were possible anymore. If you are ready to build a stronger and healthier you, I highly recommend WBF.
Marty,
Thank you so much for your kind words and we are so happy we could help you along this journey!
Fantastic experience: After 10+ years out of the gym and 7+ years of steadily getting heavier and slower as an avid runner, I decided to turn to the pros. I selected WBF as they were recommended through one of my running group forums. After 4 months, I’ve dropped weight, gained strength and am running faster than ever. My sessions with Martin are challenging and always changing. He comes prepared twice a week with new things to do and takes careful note of adjustments that need to be made to tailor fit the routines to my individual needs. With his training and support from James and Tammie, I recently competed in a Duathlon and met or beat all of my goals. I whole heartedly recommend Whole Body Fitness to any who are ready to take control and make a change.
Lisa, you have made amazing progress in reaching your goals-truly adopting the lifestyle to keep you healthy and fit for a lifetime!
Fantastic experience: James and Tammie at whole body fitness are the best. In my first four weeks working with them, I've dropped 8 lbs of fat and added 2 lbs of lean muscle. My energy level is at an all time high. Their combination of fitness training and nutrition counseling are unmatched in the industry. They take extra time to ensure that you're maximizing your potential and seeing the results that you desire. Each workout and nutrition session is customized to fit you. If you're looking for a personal training experience that is truly personal, then you need to look no further.
Thanks Jeff!
Fantastic experience: I love coming to WBF! I was having a lot of trouble getting motivated to get bak in shape and lose weight, over 2 years after having a baby. Tammie and James have really helped me get into gear and I have seen so much improvement already. I recently got an injury as well, and they've helped me to stay on track and work around it, so that I don't undo all the hard work I've already done. I would recommend Whole Body Fitness to anyone who asks.
Kristen it is always a pleasure kicking your butt into shape!
Fantastic experience: I've been working out at Whole Body Fitness for almost two months. It's been a great experience for me so far. I had been pretty inactive for awhile and this was my first experience with a personal trainer. I really wanted to find someone that could give me personal attention and teach me to do things properly and I have found that here. I work mainly with James and and he is very knowledgeable and experienced and efficient. He works me very hard but is also encouraging. He also gave me some great nutrition information that has been very helpful and easy to use. I've already lost weight and gained some muscle and am looking forward to my continued progress. I've also had a session each with Tammie, Juniper, and Martin, and they were great to work with as well. I recommend this place if you want to get fit!
Paul, you have come soooo far. it has been amazing seeing the progress you have made AND continue to make! Here is to the Lifestyle!
Fantastic experience: I was nervous about starting to work with a personal trainer, but I've now been with WBF for over 2 years! I love working with Juniper, she is very down to earth and really respects my motivations and goals. (Like, strength for my physical job, lifelong health and mobility, and less about how I look.) All the exercises are explained so well and she watches your moves so you know you are doing it right, something I value about individual training over a group class. I always look forward to workout days and have yet to miss a session, which can't be said for previous times I've joined a gym and had no accountability about going. Everyone at WBF is so friendly and encouraging, this is definitely a 'change your life' kind of place!
Thank you for all your years of support!
Fantastic experience: My experience training with Martin at WBF has been awesome. I have been working with him for 6 months and it is STILL NOT BORING. The workouts are challenging and intentional and focused on my goals. I wanted to lose a ton of weight and I have and I wanted to be strong enough to run without injury and I am now a runner again after ten years on the couch. When my weight loss slowed down a couple times, Tammie really helped me with some ideas to get back on board and stay nourished all day eating healthy food. I'm very satisfied with the support at WBF and the results. I'm much happier and all of a sudden 45 is feeling young instead of old. I'd also say that as an introvert I find most gym settings pretty overwhelming and I like that at WBF I just get focused, contained support without having to deal with a lot of people around me.
Thanks for the kind words
Fantastic experience: Two words: LIFE CHANGING! I was an extremely overweight soccer mom running a small business. My sedentary yet busy life had me gaining more and more weight each year with no time to even think of a way to change. By 4PM each day I was wiped out. One of my clients was a Whole Body Fitness devotee and I marveled at her energy, glow, and just overall health. I felt that I was too far gone but to my surprise she had WBF reach out to me for a free consultation. That was the beginning of WBF helping me dig myself out of the pit I had created. They know everything that's going on in my life - emotional stuff, food stuff, body stuff - and are helping me address everything in a way that's doable. I've never loved workouts but I look forward to seeing Tammie every week. She's like the girlfriend that makes it fun but inspires me to reach for more. I don't think we've ever done the same workout twice. I love the variety and I am actually feeling energetic now. My kids couldn't believe I chased them around the park at full speed yesterday. I am also LOVING their WEIGHT SOLUTIONS program. I meet with James once a week for maximum accountability (hey, I need it that way!). His knowledge of the human body and nutrition is unbelievable. I have learned so much from him. Best of all, I'm losing weight every week! I don't know who gets happier - him or me when I weigh in. We are doing things safely, little by little, and it feels very manageable. My only regret is that I didn't do this years ago. It's never too late to invest in yourself. This is the best decision I've made in years. Thank you Whole Body Fitness!
Cass, Thank you so much and I look forward to seeing the changes radiate around you! It is so important that we learn to put ourselves first before we can truly share our gifts with others. I look forward to seeing your continued success.
Fantastic experience: Without going to WBF, I would never have been able to see myself as a strong, fit and inspirational woman. Sounds cheesy, but until you hit the mat and really dig in-you're going to miss out on the best opportunity of your life.
Andrea, it has been a true pleasure working with you towards your goals! No worries about the cheese either, when it comes to your fitness and a healthy life NOTHING is cheesy!
Fantastic experience: If I could give Whole Body Fitness 10 stars I would The team at Whole Body Fitness has been absolutely inspirational and life-changing! As others expressed, my personal training sessions are fun, challenging and always a bit different - no getting bored with your workouts! This is the place to go if you truly want to transform.The trainers are supportive and provide you with all the tools you'll need to be the best you possible. They have helped me achieve a balanced lifestyle, through not only fitness but nutrition too. In short, if you're ready to challenge yourself and find your inner and outer excellence, Whole Body Fitness Personal Training is a fantastic place to begin your journey.
Fantastic experience: I just started going to Whole Body Fitness two weeks ago and am excited and happy with my experience so far. I was looking for a trainer who would really listen to what I needed and empower me to own the lifestyle. This gym is really close to my house so I thought that would be a good start at making a sustainable routine. The gym is simple and private and Tammie has been incredible. She lets me know why I'm doing certain workouts, and built me a plan for when I travel, as well as coaches my running. The workouts kick my butt which I love, and she even took the time to make sure I knew how to use the foam roller. I decided to see James about nutrition and it was a perfect compliment. He spent much of the time educating since this isn't just about following directions but about making smart decisions. Friending Tammy on myfitnesspal put it over the top that these guys are invested in helping people be healthy. I feel like I'm on a great path for success and love the team coach approach at WBF. I'm optimistic about hitting my goals in a couple months.
Thanks Gwen! Keep up all the hard work.
Fantastic experience: Great studio! Professional trainers! I would highly recommend this studio to anyone who wants a long lasting, healthy approach to weight and diet.
Karen you are one of the strongest ladies we know. Now lets do some bench press!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Whole Body Fitness as a gym for personal training! I worked with James and Tammie for 2 years and I am amazed at what they helped me accomplish. Not only did they give me the skills to know how to exercise and tone my body, they gave me motivation, encouragement and the holistic knowledge that it takes to see serious results. Then to really seal the deal they are super friendly and awesome people! I personally needed someone to kick my butt in gear and be concerned of my health for me, and without their support I really believe I wouldn't have made the changes that I wanted, that I needed! They also incorperate nutrition into your program and meal planning, this isn't just about fitness this is about health and lifestyle, about working towards being the healthiest you. This is why clients at Whole Body stay for the long haul, and why so many people that come here have their lives changed. If you want to learn from some dedicated fitness experts give them a shot. They have great trial packages and surely have something to offer you in your budget.
Lindsey, thank you for your kind words!
Fantastic experience: Good gym! Good location! Tammie always give me a solid work out and is really aware of injuries when I have them. I like that this is a more personalized experience and there are not a lot of people working out when I am.
Thanks doll!
Fantastic experience: Working with James has changed my whole health routine, for the better. Experience with techniques and mechanics, setting and meeting goals, being mindful of nutrition--this studio has the tools and experience to help anyone get where they want to be. A+
Jon, you are always full of energy and vivaciousness. We give you an A+ for an amazing attitude towards yourself, your workouts and others!
Fantastic experience: I've been working with James and Tammie since May and thus far I've lost 30lbs of body fat and increased my strength & fitness to a whole new level. At 38 I am in the best shape of my life thanks to Whole Body Fitness. Their methods are simple. No fads, no gimmicks, no over-priced supplements. Just a vast knowledge of nutrition and exercise. If you do the work, you'll see the results.
Thanks so much Joe
Fantastic experience: It's all about "fine tuning" and hitting that caloric "sweet spot". James and Tammie finally have me dialed in using their dietary plan and I am starting to see results.I have been training at Whole Body Fitness for over a year now and can honestly say the staff here are the best you will find attending to your Goal set from the start, finding and working around weakness and promoting strength. Trained and knowledgeable staff with great attitudes and have been flexible for me when needed..
Paul
You really found the 'qwon' the essence of working out and achieving a balanced life based in fitness.
Fantastic experience: The trainers at Whole Body Fitness are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. The studio is immaculate with the most current equipment. If you are seeking a long term plan for health and wellness it is WELL worth the time to meet with a trainer. The trainers at WBF will set you up with an exercise and nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and enables your long-term success. I have worked with three trainers at the studio and all have been great. The owners of WBF work for the highest customer satisfaction and will treat you right. Don't hesitate--just do it!
Thanks doll!
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough great things about Whole Body Fitness! Ive been training here for over a year now and am in the best shape I've been in since high school. I've worked with most of the trainers there and they each have a different approach and all are amazing and get fantastic results! I love that I get strength, cardio and stamina training as well as nutrition coaching and meal planning all from folks that actually give a crap about how their clients are doing. I've dropped 150 pounds and kept it off thanks to the coaching and support I've received from the team at WBF. They are truly gifted at what they do and will help you change your life in all positive ways. Thank you Whole Body Fitness!!
What! You are great! Always ready and willing to do those burpees. (even creating some of your own!)
Fantastic experience: Tammie and James are awesome! I have learned a lot working with them. Their studio space is nice, clean, and their equipment is great.
Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Tammie definitely "walks the walk" when it comes to Whole Body Fitness. She is a great inspiration, always focusing on the positive. Tammie will challenge you to be the best version of yourself. I have appreciated the Whole Body approach, which not only addresses your fitness goals, but also emphasizes the role your nutrition plays in achieving the healthy body you want. You will be held accountable and you will be cheered on and supported every step of the way at Whole Body Fitness.
Fantastic experience: Great place! The people there are what make it so rad. James and Tammie are fantastic.
Fantastic experience: Loving my time training with Tammie! Her awesome never quit mentality and positive motivation makes me want to push harder every time! Everyone is super knowledgeable from nutrition, strength training and post work out education- all bases are covered:) the focused attention is a plus and I feel taken care of... Not just another client- the location is awesome and has a calming feel... Not another stale gym situation! All I can say is awesome sauce!
Fantastic experience: I am really enjoying my training sessions with Tammie, she is tough but encouraging! Even though she kicks my butt and makes me work hard, I am still looking forward to my gym time every week! I like the way she explains each exercise, demontrates it and attentively make sure the exercise is done correctly. If you are looking for an integral program -fitness & nutrition- personalized and tailored to your wants and needs plus someone who will never stop pushing you to do your best, please do yourself a favor and look no further, Whole Body Fitness is your place!!
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Whole Body Fitness since early 2013. A the time of writing this, in Fall 2014, I'm the fittest I've ever been in my (soon to be) thirty-eight years. I'm very happy about this. I had neglected my physical fitness for almost a decade and I was staring to see and feel it. I had never tried personal training before, but based on past experience, I knew that to make a long-term positive change in my fitness, I should seriously consider this option. When I first showed up, I discussed my goals with James, and he set me up with Brett as a personal trainer. Brett paid keen attention to my history and goals. At the time he left Portland, a year later, I was very happy with my increased fitness and confidence in my physical abilities. Brett and I also became friends. When Brett left, Tammie transitioned me over to Martin who was just starting there. At first I wasn't sure of this transition, as Martin's style differed from that of Brett's, but over the next few weeks I came to appreciate Martin's style of personal training. He too, paid keen attention to where I was coming from and what my goals were. I highly recommend him. When Brett or Martin weren't available occasionally, I trained with Tammie and Juniper. Those sessions were also great. I consider everyone at Whole Body Fitness to be very professional, knowledgeable, and thoughtful. Now, as I head out of Portland for extended travel, I'll miss training at Whole Body Fitness, but I expect that the habits and knowledge I've gained will support my fitness goals wherever I go.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to WBF for over 2 years now, doing both personal training and classes, and I can wholeheartedly recommend both. All the trainers are friendly and accommodating but will definitely push you and give you a workout that's worth the money. The kickboxing class is a great mixture of conditioning and skills training, and since it meets three times a week it's an excellent way to keep active on a regular schedule. Since you can try a personal training session or a class session for free, there's really no excuse for not checking it out. I can guarantee you'll love it.
Fantastic experience: I have been fortunate to train with James, Tammy & Brent at Whole Body fitness and love them all. I started with James, going back to Nutrition counseling. Sometimes we forget those basic principles, that are essential to understanding how your body works and why! It was great to go back and re-learn what what preventing me from seeing the results I wanted. Then, I layered on the strength, weight and HIIT training. We always changed it up & they kept it challenging. I always like to say, if I am not sore in the morning, there's something wrong. I never EVER felt like that with them. They knew just how to kick my butt. I would highly recommend them to those in need of just a kick start or want something more. For those on the fence with Personal Training but really want results... I say, its WORTH the investment. You need accountability and to know that you'll at least get a really good butt kicking once a week :)
Fantastic experience: My experience at Whole Body fitness was exactly what I was looking for in my jam-packed, road warrior lifestyle: encouragement, accountability, friendliness, flexibility, experience, and fun! Since joining I've been motivated to pursue a more integrated, healthful lifestyle -both inside the studio and out - that has brought more joy and balance to my life.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Tammie for personal training. I have been seeing her for several years. She mixes up the workouts and pushes me, all while being fun, nice, and supportive. The training during the week has allowed my weekends to be more active doing the things I love. A session at Whole Body Fitness is time and money well spent.
