Portland Integrative Fitness

Gina and Brooke have created a very welcoming environment and have built a supportive community at PIF. They do great work helping people of all ages, fitness levels, and health challenges to feel comfortable exercising. I feel lucky to have found them!

I started training with Gina at the beginning of my first trimester, worked out with her all through my pregnancy, and am now back and building strength postpartum! Because of Gina's careful (and fun!) programing, I was hiking, running, and working out comfortably for the entirety of my pregnancy. In fact, I was at Portland Integrative Fitness working out the morning I went into labor, which was a much easier experience thanks to Gina. There are a lot of superficial compliments I've received during pregnancy and after that are no doubt thanks to everyone at PIF, but what's most important to me and to the team there is feeling strong, capable, and joyful in movement!

Not your typical gym, that's for sure. I had a great experience working through my customized plan to focus on my individual needs. Very friendly and welcoming.

This review is for the business over the service. I was targeted on Instagram for this business and signed up for the complimentary call to learn more about their services. Brooke, the woman I spoke with was great. At the end of the call she offered to have me come in so I could experience what the program would be like in person and I set up a time to do so. A few weeks later I went in and was the only one there. I thought I would have been experiencing the group program because that is what I had expressed interest in. The hour with Brooke was again a great experience and I was ready to sign up, however that night I received a text from the owner asking where she could send the invoice. Apparently I had misunderstood the situation and while the call was free this was a full, private session. This surprised me so much I was turned off from proceeding and was billed $175. So if you were Instagram targeted beware, but as long as you know the process and pricing in advance I would say the service that Brooke offered and the facility was great. Pricing is usually billed in bundles and they charged me so high because I chose not to continue. I paid the invoice and will use this as a cautionary tale for the rest of my life.

I’m 75 years old and joined Portland Integrative 1 1/2 years ago. With the encouragement of Gina, Celeste, and Brooke my strength and general fitness has increased exponentially. Loss of muscle mass and strength is so critical at my age and I know I will keep coming as if my life depended on it, because it does. I can’t thank them enough. What a wonderful and support group!

This isn’t your typical gym! Gina and Brooke are the best trainers I’ve ever had because I never felt so individually taken care of. I’m currently pregnant and going there to prep&strengthen for labor. I have a unique program that’s made for my body and they change the program when I’m ready to integrate other things. Scheduling is super easy with many time slots and they have multiple package options that I’m sure you can find something for your budget. I definitely recommend them especially if you tried other gym memberships and never able to stick with them or ended up hurting yourself because you didn’t know what you were doing on your own.

When I got involved with Root and Branch, I was looking for a workout where it can be hard but also done correctly. I have gotten that and more with this team. Gina is amazing at knowing what you need for your workout journey to push yourself but always listens to you about your body. She even made a workout session when I go to my other gym.

Though I have been coming here for years, it was in 2020 where it really became an oasis for tuning out the pandemic, even just for an hour. It has become a community of people who want the best for everyone. We cheers good news and comfort in bad news. It doesn't matter where you are in your fitness timeline, you will find a place here.

I found my glutes at Portland Integrative Fitness. No, seriously, I really did and it's helping me address an issue that has had me hobbling for months. I really appreciate Gina's informed and effective coaching and the tailored workouts. This is definitely the studio for me.

Gina and crew really have something special here, though I’m not quite sure how to put it into words. The environment is always fun, kind, and welcoming.

Gina will always meet each individual exactly where they are at on any given
day. The hour that I am there always feels like “me time” and the best self care. The exercises are also easy to do at home.

I hope that more people discover Portland Integrative Fitness, so that the business can continue to thrive.

It’s hard to articulate what a game-changing impact Gina has made on my life. I have a lot of postural and body mechanics issues, and every time I would try to “get in shape” I would end up injuring myself. Gina’s slow and methodical personalized approach allowed me to build strength in all the right ways to allow my body to get to the point where I can push it more. I haven’t felt this strong and pain-free in many, many years.

I was nervous about starting to workout- I didn't think it would be fun or easy. The trainers foster an atmosphere of lightness and joy and the burn feels really good! Both Gina and Brooke are great about helping me with my posture as I build my muscles. Thanks!

I wish I could select a 6th star as I can't recommend Gina and her gym more. So instead of hacking Google's review system to add that extra star, I feel I need to add a second review with a different email address, two years after I left my first.

Portland Integrative Fitness hasn't changed my body, it has changed my relationship to and my mindset about my body. That in turn has allowed me to increase my physical ability without these constant highs and lows of motivation, but with a steady built of confidence, stamina and self-love.
In the past I would be either super pumped about becoming more fit or feel totally incapable of lifting a dumbell at all. So, obviously, I could never build a sustainable fitness routine, but mostly felt I didn't have it in me.
Through Gina's tireless care and relentless physical philosophy I learned to embrace the body I have, see how it is precious, what it is capable off and how I could improve it in a way that is true to MY body as opposed to trying to be an instagram model.
Today I feel strong, able and know I can do my workouts even when I don't feel like it, because I have done it so many times with Gina's help. And most of all, I feel content about my body and look less envious at that of other men.

Try it out, but be careful, because you might really like it.

Portland Integrative Fitness is the best little gym/movement studio you could ever hope to find! With a body-positive, functional fitness focus and a warm, welcoming atmosphere, it's where to go if - like me - you're not remotely attracted to big sweaty box gyms and a "no pain no gain" attitude. PIF is exactly the opposite, providing structure, expertise, encouragement, and personalized fitness routines for all body types, ages, and abilities. The staff are friendly and fabulous. I can't recommend this place highly enough! (And this coming from a former exercise-phobe)

This is not your typical gym, and that's a good thing. They genuniely care about your health and well-being, and happily customize workouts that result in functional strength and mobility fit to your body. Gina has worked really hard to foster a wellness community, with integrated exercise/physical therapy offerings that are uniquely set up to make sure your body gets what it needs all the time. PIF has helped me stay strong and accountable throughout the pandemic, and has always been there to help me stay strong for whatever I need in that moment. Couldn't recommend them more highly!

Porltand Integrative Fitness changed my life! I had the body of a typical desk worker. Hunched over, sitting down all day, sort of troll doll posture. I had back pain, knee pain, and neck pain on the regular.

I started working with the amazing people of PIF and they've gotten me completely out of pain! I can walk, stand, sit, run, move, lift and carry better at 38 than I could at 28!

Also they're nice, funny, caring people, so it feels more like, "I'm going to the gym! Hurray! " Than "Fudge. I guess I gotta go to the gym. "

I've been going for years and will go for many more!

The team at Portland Integrative Fitness helped me feel strong and confident heading into the birth of my first child. I appreciated the consistent but not overly watchful attention from trainers in a small group setting. From strength building to breath work, I was supported through physical and mental preparation until the very end of my pregnancy.

Gina runs an exceptionally supportive and holistic gym, although I never refer to it as a 'gym', since I don't encounter any of the uncomfortable dynamics many gyms create. I don't feel the pressure to perform, to look great, to build muscle, but I do feel a warm environment where I can move my boundaries bit by bit.

Gina and her associate Colin offer personal fitness in the most personal sense of the word. Not only do they teach very precise and detailed exercises and techniques to strenghten my body, they also model a kind and compassionate approach to physical work that allows me to be gentle with myself, while still feeling I progress and build stability and strength.

My 25y old lower back issues have seldomly been this absent in my everyday life.

Highly, highly recommended.

I’ve been coming here for six weeks to work on a stubborn childhood injury. Gina is smart and kind, and I have a lot of confidence that my fitness plan will help me reach my goals. I feel like I’m getting stronger, and even though it’s tough, I never dread going in. Semi-private training is $50-ish an hour, and it’s worth it.
