the coaches at Misfits are all excellent. They provide exceptional programming, individualized coaching within the class and are wonderfully supportive.This gym truly feels like a community with members welcoming newbies and coaches taking time to include everyone regardless of skill. They have a rare ability to integrate a class of elite athletes through to complete noobs, while making everyone feel challenged, confident and included. no matter where you are on your fitness journey the misfit coaches will make you feel welcome.

This is the best CrossFit experience I've ever had, having sampled or belonged to 6 or 7 gyms the past decade. Safe, welcoming, and a great spectrum of athletes and beginners. The focus is on form and function and every exercise has a scaled option. The community is really open and supportive. I'm 40 something and it's awesome to work out with fire breathing 20 somethings, super fit seniors, and people brand new to CrossFit.The beginner class is really helpful, even for me returning after a year hiatus. It's three weeks of dedicated coaching, included in the regular membership, and a great on-ramp to learning the moves and the people.Coaching staff is top notch. Class sizes are thoughtfully limited to make the most of the space and time. The physical space itself is fantastic.The hardest thing about fitness is habit forming and motivation. Join the misfits and you won't have to worry about either. Sign up, show up, make friends, get sore, get fit, live longer and happier.

I love this gym! The coaches are next level, the members are friendly and unpretentious, and the beginner class sets you up for success. There are also many different classes and times to choose from, and I’ve never had any issues getting into a class or canceling one last minute. 10/10 would recommend.

I've been coming to the misfit gym for over a year and have lost 130 pounds..90 since starting there. Trainer/owner matt is incredible and this place very much has a supportive positive vibe going. Everyone supports each other!

This is an incredible gym to drop-in to if you are in the area. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. They meet you where you are at and take your injuries into consideration when scaling. Sweaty Saturday is an absolute blast! I wish I lived up there. I can’t wait until the next time I visit. It is the most impressive CrossFit gym I have ever been to.

I've been a member at another local Crossfit (also great) and what makes Misfit stand out is the workouts ("programming") - it is always FUN and they do a lot of lifts/strength and then keep their workout conditioning very short (rarely do we do conditioning for more than 15 minutes at time). What that does is increases the intensity you can bring to every workout - "It's only 12 minutes," you tell yourself (mwahaha). My other gym often programmed longer pieces (25-40 minutes) and I found it boring, a slog, and I didn't bring that speed and intensity that I bring to a shorter version. They're kind of psychological wizards here in that sometimes it's "4 minute workout, 2 minutes rest, a 8 minute work out, 2 minutes rest ..." so you may work out for 25 minutes, as an example, but it's broken up so you can always do your best, with that glorious promise of rest.The focus on the powerlifts and the Olympic lifts is what's fun for me, but the gym also offers "Engine" classes with a long cardio focus, if that's your thing. They also offer "hatchet" 90 minute class if 60 minutes isn't enough for you. They don't advertise it, but there are a lot of little bonuses to going to this gym: They have a podcast with more information, they have a clothing line and often give away great swag for $5 or $10 at the gym, they will help you with very very basic nutrition as part of your membership, and their coaches are always eager to stay an extra 5 minutes to help you learn a skill, they have beginner classes.Anyone at any skill level could join and get results. If you're wondering why you would pay so much to go to a gym and not pay $10 to go to Planet Fitness, it's because you'll WANT to come in 4-6 times a week here (seriously).

Expert coaching, supportive community and a well equipped facility. Programming for the entire family including a beginners class, kids class, body weight classes and traditional Crossfit for competitive and non-competitive athletes alike. If you're looking for a Crossfit home come join up at Misfit Portland, you'll be glad you did.

If you've debated trying CrossFit at any point in time, this is the gym to give it a go. Misfit is my gym home and I'd beyond recommend it.The coaches/staff are well trained and have eagle eyes, they can spot a bad lift/form a mile away, at night, through the fog with their backs turned to you. It's like working out with Moody's magical eye scanning the room. But really, form is important and they harp on it for good reason keeping everyone in their classes safe, especially me. A 3peat ortho surgery patient with knee and ankle issues who modify's almost everything.Your fellow gym goers are friendly and encouraging. They will introduce themselves and welcome you to the gym. Then when you're in the middle of a workout thinking how am I going to complete this one, they cheer you on, run beside you or push you to dig deep and finish.If you can't tell, I am a big fan of the environment that has been created at the Misfit gym, it's worth a shot, maybe you'll find your home too.
