Great personal trainer and very knowledgeable

by brandonbunce

I had a personal training session and I was very impressed. My trainer (Tanya) was very knowledegable and I found the session to be highly effective. I will be able to apply the workout to my daily routine and I can conduct it at home or in a park. If you are tired of crowded gyms and thinking about getting a personal trainer, I highly recommend Recess.

• Pros: trainer very knowledgeable, flexible hours

Well worth the time!

by pdxer1

I recently attended the four-part lecture series at Umpqua bank in the Pearl. The topics ranged from health and nutrition to recreational activities. Overall it centered around making better decisions for yourself in your life. I didn't really know what to expect, in fact a friend had to drag me along to the first one as it took place on such a beautiful day...but after that I was hooked! I understand that Recess can also help with personal nutrition, yoga, kickboxing etc. What struck me the most was how genuinely helpful Tanya was with all our questions!

• Pros: approachability, great information, rewarding

More Appealing than a Gym

by mnpdx

I'd spent years on and off doing my own thing in stinky gyms, and I have to admit...I just started to cut corners and didn't really have my heart in it anymore. So when I signed up for Recess, I was skeptical of their holistic approach. Would it really make a difference? After sessions [IN MY OWN HOUSE] with a fitness trainer, a yoga instructor and a nutritionist I rediscovered how easy it was to work out, eat well, and keep in tune without that additional obstacle of going to the gym. It made healthy choices easier to understand and make when done in the context of my own home.

• Pros: Expert Instructors, Time-flexible, Thorough

This was a great way to break old habits...

by mnickles

The Recess instructor inspired me to modify my behavior through clear instruction and encouragement. The fitness instructor, Jennifer, followed up with diagrams and written instructions tailored directly to my needs. I really appreciate that the workouts were designed for me and my individual goals it was a great personal touch.

• Pros: Accomodating, Great Instrutors, Tailored for me
