I can’t say enough good things about K Fit. It’s an incredibly supportive, women-only space that truly fosters a sense of safety, inclusion, and community—no matter your age, fitness level, or body type. Even though I didn’t know anyone when I joined, I always felt welcomed and never out of place.
I started working out here while recovering from an injury that had left me anxious and fearful about exercise. The personal training I received was compassionate and empowering—it helped me build strength and confidence at my own pace. Over time, I felt strong enough to join group classes, and now I feel like I’m finally working out at my full potential.
This gym isn’t just about fitness; it’s about healing, empowerment, and belonging. I very, very highly recommend it for any woman looking for community and a place to feel strong, supported, and safe!

Have been attending classes 3 days a week for over a year now, pretty much addicted. Classes are fun, challenging, and different everytime, with a great buncha gals and excellent instructors. Couldn’t ask for more to keep the muscles, core, balance, and happiness while doing all in top shape.

I started with KFit for the Wednesday 5:30am Tabor run in March 2024, it was so fun that I gave the gym a try and wow, it’s the best! I love the supportive environment, knowledgeable trainers who focus on women’s fitness needs, and circuit training in creative ways. I continue to get stronger. Recently, I had zero soreness after loading a dumpster to the tune of 20,000 steps to help downsize my aging mom. KFit works, 100% recommend trying a class!

I have worked out with K Fit Studio for a while now. However, I recently broke my foot and needed surgery and have been on one leg for the past month. It is a crazy hassle to not be able to bear weight on one of your feet, but the main thing that has saved me is the strength and functional movement fitness I have gained at K Fit Studio. The frequency that I have needed to perform single leg dead-lifts and squats on a daily basis to just function shocked me. Core and arm strength have enabled me to use the crutches and knee scooter. Surprisingly (to me!) you need core strength on that knee scooter... I feel grateful that I have been able to do these things. It has allowed me to be at work, cook in my kitchen, do daily life stuff, and take care of myself on one leg, sometimes with the other wrapped in a garbage bag and elevated. All of the strength and core work that the trainers at K Fit have us do to keep us moving safely and strong has never been more evident to me as in this past month. Many thanks to Mary, Tammy, Sophie, Janet, Melissa, Genevieve, Katie and all the excellent trainers at K Fit for keeping us strong, healthy, and well equipped to handle whatever life throws our way. I can’t wait to get back in there!

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!!
