PCC Cascade Gym

600 North Killingsworth Street, Portland, OR 97217

"Excellent resource for neighbors who want to take fitness classes. It's a huge plus to have instructors guide you through exercises and develop a fitness plan. You must enroll as a student, then you can audit classes. Cost is about $150 for 12 weeks. I wish there were more "drop-in" hrs. BONUS: now you have a student ID in your wallet to get various discounts around town."

"Coach Corey teaches jiu jitsu and he's the best teacher I've had. He's a cool dude"

"They cut back open gym hours like CRAZY this year, so it's not worth paying for a gym membership anymore but if you want to take a class here, it's decent. Lifters are respectful and almost never drop weights, eveyone is really good about putting equipment away and pretty good at wiping down equipment. People don't get too chatty when they are on the machines, which is nice. The multipurpose rooms often have classes in them but are great to use when they don't have classes. Free tampons, often free protein bars, waterbottle fill up stations. Locker rooms are kept in good shape and the lockers are decent sizes. Water pressure is best in the handicap shower. No glass containers allowed. Only two stars because if the CRAZY limited open gym hours and the cost of classes."

"I go to the gym here because I go to school here. The gym is $12 a semester if you go to PCC (a real deal). It’s pretty small and almost every time I come here to exercise there is a personal trainer doing workouts with someone and walking in the way of everyone complaining about other people using the gym. All in all, for the price, it’s great!"
