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.

    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 type 2 fun ever! Great community and great coaches. Coaches are very knowledgeable and make sure all members are warmed up properly and workout scaled appropriately to their fitness level. Best gym I’ve been a member of!

    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.

Every one of these started with someone showing up nervous and out of shape for a first class. We're ready whenever you are.
