I started working out with Celeste in October and I am so pleased with the results! I signed up for personal training because I had basically gotten myself as far as I could go on my own, and I felt like my motivation was starting to slip. When left to my own devices, I will *not* get myself out of bed in the morning to go the gym. Hiring a trainer was the perfect solution and my motivation has never been stronger and I have NEVER looked or felt better. I zip out of bed in the morning to get there on time! One of the first things I learned was how many things I was doing incorrectly! And this after reading plenty of fitness books and magazines. A lot of my aches and pains were coming from lack of balance and core strength, and “cheating” when doing certain moves. Whenever Celeste gently reminds me to lean a little bit forward, or keep my knee over my ankle, I know I’ve been cheating because it’s so much harder! Which brings me to my next point, I never realized what a whining, wheedling, complaining, sniveling person I could be until I started working with a personal trainer. It’s so embarrassing to hear the whimpering out of my mouth. Although my whining has zero effect on her, Celeste isn’t one of those mean and bitchy trainers that make you want to cry. She’s super supportive and says things like, “Just tell yourself it’s easy!” (this only slightly works). Don’t be fooled though - she’s deceptively hard-core. It’s just that when she tells you “only” have five more reps to go, she just says it in a very sweet tone of voice that lets you know that arguing isn’t even really an option. And now when I work out, I’m not watching the clock, I have a LOT more confidence at the gym, and I no longer have school-teacher arms (amazing biceps!). One last thing – the vibe at Life Body Fitness is fantastic. Not only are Celeste and Tiffany supportive and fun, but so are the other clients! It’s such a great motivating atmosphere for working out.
Pros: Trainers, equipment, cleanliness, parking
Cons: Morning traffic in Portland

I have been an athlete all my life; I've done triathlons, I've always had a gym membership and I actually WENT. But I fell off the wagon HARD, and became disillusioned with so-called 'personal trainers' at another full-time gym. I came to Tiffany weighing more than I ever thought I could, feeling out of shape, lazy, sad, and convinced I couldn't lose weight because I'd reached my 40s. Tiffany's wonderful personality, incredible motivational skills, and training smarts helped me help myself --- I have lost more than 20 pounds, am zeroing in on my goal, LOVE my workouts, and am actually practicing what I knew all along about eating well, taking care of my body and my spirit, and carrying a positive attitude. LifeBody fittness is more than a place to work out your body, it's a place to change your perspective, and trade your old thought patterns for new, healthier ones that truly do work. There is certainly no miracle solution --- I have worked very hard. While I have been in excellent shape before, I have never been in this complete shape: body, mind, and spirit. Tiffany helped me find that in myself, and LifeBody Fitness gives me a place to practice all those wonderful habits. This is a great gym, no matter your size, your goal, or your perspective - they will help you reach your goals and become a healthier soul!!
Pros: atmosphere, personal attention, motivation
