World class CrossFit coaching and programming for athletes in all walks of life. Come see what we're all about.

Why we exist

Who taught you how to take care of your body? That's us.

When you got your job, someone trained you. Your parents taught you to say please and thank you. But who taught you how to take care of your physical and metabolic health? That's where we come in.

Think of CrossFit as the operating manual for your body, and think of us as the coaches who walk you through it, page by page. No shortcuts, no quick fixes. Just incremental progress in a community that shows up, works hard, and has fun while they do it.

Do it right. Do it well. Then do it again. Welcome to MF.

    “Started going here mid 2023 and truthfully hadn't really done any lifting or exercise for about 10 years. The coaches here are second to none, they really care about making sure you're doing the workouts and movements appropriately and most importantly, safely. I'm the fittest I've ever been in my life and it's all thanks to the coaches and programming at Misfit Gym Portland. Don't get me wrong, CrossFit can be hard, but it's easier when you have a great community to do it with and coaches with you the make sure you're doing it right. 11/10, Six stars.”

    “We moved two years ago to Portland and joined the gym shortly after. We’ve found a fantastic supportive community of all ages and abilities and highly skilled coaches. The environment varies across levels that you can adjust based on where you are. It’s a great place to get in a sweat and improve your fitness!”

    “Best CrossFit gym I’ve experienced. The coaching will meet you where you’re at, while also pushing you to grow as an athlete. The community is equally inviting, appropriately competitive, and hilarious. Every time I leave a class, I’m so happy I get the opportunity to workout here.”

    “This has been our gym for two years — great gym, great coaches, great community. We started in the beginner classes x3mo which I would recommend; we considered ourselves active people but the long intro was needed for me. Really love the engine workouts.”

How it works

So what is CrossFit, actually?

Constantly varied, functional movement, performed at high intensity.

“Functional” just means the stuff life is made of: a squat is getting off the toilet, a deadlift is picking something (or someone) up off the ground. We make you better at both, at an intensity that's right for you. It's how we put elite athletes and grandmas in the same class at the same time.

We train all ten physical skills

  • Strength
  • Stamina
  • Endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Power
  • Speed
  • Coordination
  • Agility
  • Balance
  • Accuracy

Not just the two or three your old routine favored. That's the whole point.
