The Difference | Mission Statement, Vision, Motto & Purpose

The Northwest Personal Training Difference:
We are passionately committed to our mission of changing people's lives around the world by helping them adopt a more healthy and fit lifestyle so they look and feel their best. Here's what makes us different than your typical gym:

We Guarantee Results:
This is what sets us apart from others - our clients achieve life-changing results! Fat loss, muscle tone, better energy levels, increased bone density, lowered stress level... Our primary focus is to ensure our clients achieve the goals they have set for themselves. Nothing brings us more joy than knowing that we have positively impacted someone's life. This is what it's all about for us. We are the fitness columnists for a variety of local newspapers and magazines because we want to help everyone in our community reach for their best - even if they don't train with us directly.

Best Personal Trainers and Fitness Instructors in the World:
Every fitness club has dumbbells and treadmills, but at Northwest Personal Training, our most important asset is our team of fitness professionals. We take our roles seriously and we don't feel successful until you've achieved results. You are our number one priority! Our trainers are the best in the world, holding credentials from ACE and/or NASM, two of the most stringent nationally recognized fitness certifications. Many hold Bachelor's and Master's Degrees in Exercise Science, as well as additional certifications in specialty areas. As a company and a team, we have won many industry awards because of our customer service, innovative programming, and the results that our clients achieve. These honors include 2006 IDEA International Program Directors of the Year, 2006 American Council on Exercise National Fitness Educators of the Year Top 3 Finalist, CanFitPro Canadian Fitness Presenter of the Year, and the Inaugural IDEA Personal Trainer of the Year. Our team instructs and certifies other trainers and fitness professionals in the Northwest and around the world. You can be confident that we will take great care of you! When it comes to your health, you deserve to work with the best!

High-End Customer Service:
Everyone says they have good customer service, but we stand behind our promises. In fact, we were voted the Better Business Bureau Business of the Year because of our attention to details and our daily customer service initiatives. As a boutique-style facility, you are not just a number among thousands! We provide an intimate and friendly environment - a place where everyone really does know your name. We have also received Best of City Search recognition and the Northwest Women's Journal's Best Fitness Club for Women in our area. We strive for excellence in all areas.

Creative and Fun Workouts:
We understand that when beginning a program, exercise can seem like quite a chore. For this reason, our team does whatever we can to make your exercise experience fun. When you're having a good time, you're more likely to come! We host monthly events, activities, and parties to develop a sense of community and a social, friendly atmosphere. We incorporate creative and innovative exercises and programs to keep workouts fun and interesting. With us, it's more than just a workout - it's a lifestyle!

Personalized Attention:
We want you to know that your workouts are all about you. Depending on your goals, fitness level, interests, and individual muscular needs, we will design a custom-fit plan perfect for you. Every fitness program is different - one size does not fit all! We will personally oversee your progress. If you don't show up, we'll be calling to find out why! It's exactly this type of accountability that most people need to help them stick to a program and get great results! We care about you and want you to succeed!

A Home Away From Home:
When we created our world-class fitness and training studios in Portland, OR and Vancouver, WA, we chose colors and materials very carefully, working hard to create an environment that is motivating, uplifting, intimate, and welcoming. Our facilities are immaculate and beautiful - they don't look or smell like your typical gym. In fact, a KGW Channel 8 news report found our facility to be the cleanest gym in the area. We provide a home away from home - if you enjoy the atmosphere where you work out you'll be more likely to get here, and we know from experience that consistency is the key to results. Once you're here we take care of everything else. In fact, our clients tell us they love how they feel when they exercise with us and are motivated to show up more often - and that's our goal!

Community Involvement:
We focus all of our initiatives on increasing the quality of life in our community. We regularly host fundraisers and exercise-a-thons to benefit local shelters and various charitable causes including heart disease and breast cancer. We also donate our time and resources to various schools and charities.

We love what we do and are always trying to do better. Please let us know at any time if we've fallen short of our vision.

Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to help you achieve your PERSONAL BEST.
