Personal Training in Beaverton, Oregon

Joining Above the Barr has been the best decision I’ve made for my health. I have been working out with Jamie for the past six months, and the results have been fantastic. I have so much more energy for daily activities and my favorite hobbies like yoga, hiking, and backpacking.Jamie customizes the overall workout plan based on where you are starting out, and he even adjusts it daily based on how you are feeling on any given day. The atmosphere is very welcoming, low-key, and filled with cool people. I highly recommend Jamie for everyone, no matter your fitness level!

I found Jaime and Above the Barr when I was desperately Googling, “Personal trainers for chronic pain.” I have dealt with pain for most of my adult life and as a result often feel much older than my actual age. I had become “stuck,” and struggled to train my body in a way that was safe and effective. At my initial assessment, I was literally in tears as I realized how limited my movement had become. Now, 6 months into my time with Jaime, my strength and confidence have improved immensely. I am lifting heavier weights than I ever have before and doing more than I imagined I could a year ago. Jaime creates a safe and supportive community at his gym, and the guidance I have received as I reclaim my body has been invaluable. This is not a space where you will be intimidated by gym bros slamming barbells to the ground or influencers recording their workouts. I look forward to reflecting back in another year and once again marveling at how far I’ve come!

I’ve been going to this gym for about 5 months, and it’s been such a great experience. Jaime has been incredibly helpful and supportive from day one. When I started, I had been dealing with tennis elbow for about 4 months and could barely use my left arm because of the pain. Thanks to Jaime’s training program, my arm recovered quickly and became much stronger. To be honest, I’ve never really been a “gym person” because I usually find working out boring, but the atmosphere here completely changed that for me. Training in small groups of people makes exercising actually fun, and everyone is so friendly and encouraging. I can clearly see the progress I’m making, both physically and mentally. Jaime has done an amazing job creating such a positive and motivating community. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for more than just a gym.

I’ve been training with Jaime for six months now and haven’t missed a single day. I usually get bored with workouts, and every time I’ve tried exercising on my own, I eventually stop. I even tried “I Love Kickboxing,” but the constant rotation of instructors made it hard to stay motivated. Training with Jaime has been completely different. This is the most consistent I’ve been since taking P.E. in schoo, and that was mandatory. Jaime works around my schedule and adapts every workout so I stay challenged without injuring myself. I’ve noticed a big difference in how my clothes fit, and even my A1C has dropped. My main goal was to lose weight and improve my health so I could eventually get off medication. I finally found something that works. The people I work out with are great, too. Everyone has their own goals and their own pace, which Jaime emphasized from day one. It’s not a competition; it’s about your personal journey. I can’t recommend Above the Barr enough.

I’ve been training at Above the Barr for about 6 months and going strong! I’ve always had trouble sticking with a workout routine, but Jaime has created a fun, comfortable and welcoming environment that makes me want to keep coming back. The true differentiator is that he really cares about me and my health goals. He develops a workout plan to meet you where you are and is consistently checking in about how your body is feeling before, during and after the workout so he can make any adjustments. Jaime has found the perfect balance of challenging me to push myself, while also knowing when to pump the brakes and take it easy. At Above The Barr it’s not about lifting as heavy as you can all the time, it’s about gradually building strength and making progress. People of all shapes and sizes workout here and I’ve seen Jaime provide workout plans catered to each individuals needs. We often workout in small groups of 2-4 people, so it has been really fun getting to know people and make some new friends. It is a very welcoming and supportive community that I’m excited and proud to be a part of. If you’re lucky, you might even get served a cup of coffee with your morning workout. Talk about full service!
