Village Fit

The ‘language game’ we started class with impacted how I talked to myself during the workout. I can do hard things! Aminta is an incredible coach, thanks for a great push today.

Aminta is great! She's so skillful at noticing the "strengths" while also providing feedback for correct alignment and foundation. She brings an energy that keeps the group motivated. Makes learning something new fun!

I enjoyed the focused intension on the word “fortitude”. The workout was super hard and did indeed require much fortitude. I also appreciated that Coach Aminta just finished the same workout earlier that morning so she knew the struggle!

Love Aminta’s pre-workout pep talks and detailed explanations + demonstrations of proper form. Great workout today, as usual!

Awesome coach, very attentive to each client and their needs!

Always enjoyable to have a class with Taka. He has a great sense of wry humor and brings a lot of variety of exercises to the class.

Alison was warm and welcoming. She explained the exercise exercises really well, set the pace , helped tailor the exercises to individual needs, was watchful, recognizing us us individually by name for our progress/performance/offering slight corrections as needed. Helped build and sustain our efforts by encouraging all of us as we pushed through the work out.

Thanks Natalie, great class!

Coaching was great. Instructions/demos were very clear, corrections were helpful and provided in positive way, vey supportive overall! Also enjoyed space - music not too loud. )Did not feel like I was being shouted at). And it was a great workout!

Great attention to everyone's form and very friendly!

You coached an amazing class. I love all the information about positioning etc. you were very helpful. Look forward to next week. Happy New Year!

Loved the workout and coaching. Thanks for the encouragement. Happy holidays!

Thanks to all of the instructors and fellow members! I’ve learned so much from all of you!

@Taka Thanks for my renewed balance and confidence on the old granite steps of Germany! You have been an incredible inspiration to me this year. Best wishes for a successful 2026! Happy Holidays!

Clear and concise instruction with options for modifying the workout to fit my specific needs.

Taka was great today. Feel like the class keeps getting better & better regarding tips for achieving & maintaining good form; increasing difficulty level but not too much as well as continuing to make the class fun.

Always enjoy your classes. Top notch coach!

Aminta and all the coaches at Village Fit are wonderful. Couldn’t recommend this gym highly enough. Expert coaches, relaxed and fun atmosphere, getting stronger all the time and day-to-day tasks are getting easier because of it.

Today’s workout involved a fun, supportive group of people led by an instructor who explained the movements and made them feel simple and doable and the time flew by. Thanks Patrick!

Coach Taki led the class I was in as a new prospect trying it out for the first time. I loved the class itself, and his teaching style: a mix of subtle humor and easy-to-comprehend steps with variations for different fitness levels. A big drawback for me is that classes must be signed up for in advance, and as I am currently coming and going from Portland and don’t have a regular schedule, that may be difficult. I’m checking out a nearby gym today and will figure out whether I can perhaps do both - maybe a limited membership there and a book of passes with Village Fit. Most appreciated is that the class feels like both semi-private coaching and small group exercises, with nice participants and an enjoyable coach, all rolled up into one package.

Really liked the 12 minutes set up at the end. Over the class was well paced and had the right intensity for me

Michelle’s class was good! She ensured everyone knew how to properly do each exercise and provided alternatives for those who had physical constraints. And she kept it fun.

Patrick has done a great job explaining moves in ways that allow me to correct my form, make smoother movements, and lift more confidently.

Patrick is an excellent coach! He is very focused on form and safety but also challenges the class to chellenge themselves!

Taka was the coach for my balance and aerobic class today. He is patient and good at explaining how each exercise is to be done. Thanks

Had a wonderful session with Taka!

Patrick- You always do a great job. Have a great weekend.

Excellent support today! Good hard work out. I appreciate the checking in and cheering on!

Taka delivers a senior training routine that seems simple but really gets results on balance, strength, coordination, and cardio. It is the perfect class for a women in her 70’s!

Great energy, exercise modification and warm up. Smiles and sweat from start to finish.

Love the class!

I love it when I can catch a class at VF with the one and only Aminta! She's amazing. And even better, today a big focus of our workout was on power cleans. If you know the power clean, it's not super intuitive and takes a great deal of focus on form and movement. Aminta's coaching is the best! So much detail and attention paid to each of us in the class, meeting each class participant "where they are" in their workout journey. Five stars +++

Patrick is fantastic! He has great classes with modifications if needed and kindly corrects posture to avoid injury. By consistently attending Patrick’s classes I am getting stronger and my clothes are fitting better too!

Michelle was amazing—easy to follow, fun, and engaging. 10/10

This review is for Taka's Seniors' Strength & Balance Class. It is absolutely wonderful! Today's class was very challenging but I pushed myself and did 50 squats and 5 planks. I couldn't do doodly squat when I started in June - he adapts to class members abilities.

Patrick was super encouraging for my intro class and helped get my form straightened out after years away from the gym.

Coach Takayuki. Great class. Worked on everything I needed working on. Takayuki was very encouraging

Patrick was great as always. Always encouraging and offers constructive feedback 🏆

Patrick was great! Always patient, enthusiastic, and helpful.

Patrick was great to work with! He’s patient, encouraging and clear in his instructions and adjustments. It was a great experience!

He is consistent in keeping the energy level up

Well organized class with lots of variety of strength and cardio. Patrick was very helpful with suggestions on correct form. Thanks for a great workout!

Patrick is attentive and gives clear instructions. I felt encouraged, but not pressured, and he had several short effective phrases that helped with learning the form of the exercises.

Alyson always makes me feel welcome and helps me plan a workout that is right for me! A+

Michelle was informative and encouraging! Instructions were clear and she made sure to check that we understood before moving into the workout

I liked the class today. I felt it was doable.

Patrick is an excellent coach!! This is my first experience in weight training since my late teens early 20s. He has slowed it down by explained best practice and made real time corrections as I did the routines. He and village fitness is flexible and accommodating for any personal desire or limitation. Thanks Patrick. You rock!

Very attentive and helpful with making sure I had adjustments and felt supported.

Patrick is kind, patient, and encouraging! His clear tips on form are so helpful and his humor draws the class together in intense moments.

Patrick did a great job leading us through class today!

Patrick was encouraging and helped me correct my form and better understand the movements.

Patrick bring experience and enthusiasm to every class.. that's all the more appreciated at those 5:50 classes! I'm pretty new to weight lifting so the "how to's" and eye on form is really helpful. Sometimes it's hard to get out of bed but I never, ever regret going!

Patrick is as personable, friendly and encouraging! His instructions were very thorough!

I'm loving Patrick's 5:50am classes! He brings a perfect balance of early morning energy, expertise in weight training, humor, and tough love. He knows appropriate modifications and encourages everyone at whatever level they are in their fitness journey. He's a great addition to the Village Fit family!

Awesome workout, good music. Thank you!

This gym is my happy place for soooooo many reasons. Here’s today’s reason… 🩵The workouts are well rounded with strength, cardio, mobility segments. 💛Aminta is an attentive coach. She has an eye on everyone’s form and makes necessary corrections. 🖤I am newly back after realizing I am not a workout at home girl. Today was my first class after being away for 20months. There were more familiar faces in the gym than not. Familiar AND friendly!! 🤍The environment is positive. 🩵The mindset is listen to and meet your body where it’s at TODAY. 💛 I am excited to go back!! 🖤 ALL fitness levels and bodies can participate in the classes here. The instructor will offer modifications without judgement. 🤍 This community is a well rounded and healthy one!

Great. Loved doing flexibility work, something thats important to me

Always the pro with being able to handle large groups.

Tyler is always great and his music is the best!

Patrick is very encouraging and gives good adjustment tips, but also lets me do it at my own speed. I always enjoy his class, and end up doing more than I thought I could.

Patrick is a great addition to the gym. He keeps a good pace and has the right balance of seriousness and fun

Fun class, good music, patient coaching!

I really enjoyed Cordell’s class. He was helpful with lifts and it was a great workout.

Alyson was incredibly kind and supportive, expertly adapting the workout to suit my needs. As someone who was understandably nervous about attending a group class for the first time, I truly appreciated her encouraging and accommodating approach. Thanks to her guidance, I left the class feeling empowered and excited to explore more classes in the future!

Class flowed well, good instruction and music! I also liked that the workout had both focused strength and getting my heart rate up.

Always feel challenged and supported by Aminta and the workouts. Love this place!

Cordell was awesome. He was knowledgeable and helpful. His energy was great.

Zandr was very supportive and patient. Made it all fun.

Fun class! Great energy.

Cordell was effective at pushing me (and the whole group) to maintain a high level of energy and endurance throughout a rigorous cardio routine, while keeping it fun!

So great! Alyson is always great.

Cordell was awesome! He’s so encouraging and ensures that we have good form. I love his classes!

Cordell led another butt kicking class with great coaching on technique.

Always love class with Cordell - he fun, friendly and encouraging!

Coach Alyson killed it! Great workout that kicked my booty!

Great class - it was a full class and felt like everyone got attention they needed and we completed a challenging workout.

Great instruction and class.

I really enjoy Allison’s classes. She is knowledgeable and keeps class fun and doable for everyone.

Very informative, great feedback on my form for lifting. I loved the pace of the class:)

Cordell is a great coach! He explains all the movements well and provides helpful cues for better form. His energy and enthusiasm is infectious and makes you want to push yourself.

I love Cordell’s classes. My mornings with him and the crew at Village Fit make the rest of the day so much better. He’s positive vibes only and provides helpful tips on form and technique to keep me injury free.

I am slowly transitioning back into working out after having a kid and Cordell has been an absolute delight in supporting me in that journey. His classes always feel welcoming (as does the whole Village Fit community). Workouts are challenging but modified for my specific ability (I am sore for days afterwards… it’s a great feeling!). He provides guidance on my form. Pushes me to get the most out of my workout. Most of all, the individual encouragement and support he provides me makes me feel well supported on my fitness journey. I look forward to my mornings with Cordell!

Expertly designed barre class! Felt like a fun workout class and physical therapy all wrapped into one.

Tyler guided me and 3 other students through a fun workout and provided ample guidance and feedback. Thank you for the awesome workout Tyler!

Great class - great energy for a Monday!

Love aminta!!!

I appreciate that Aminta tailors the workout to fit your personal situation, such as if you’re coming back from an injury or haven’t worked out in a while. It’s a really supportive environment.

Cordell was the best! He knew there were new people in the class so he had everyone introduce themselves! It was so welcoming. He had great positive energy and made gentle corrections which was fantastic bc it meant he was watching everyone.

Great class, solid balance of strength and cardio! Highly recommend 🙂

Another awesome class with Cordell, our favorite coach at Village Fit. Very much appreciate his enthusiasm (esp. at 5:50am!), professionalism, and attention to details; always makes it a point to check in on everyone during class and provide on the fly feedback and corrections. Based on our 12 years of small group and private training, he is one of those rare people that has a gift for coaching.

Encouraging, educational, positive, patient, balanced - Aminta is such a great coach!

Cordell is an amazing coach and I enjoyed the workout today, even though it was a hard grind, he kept the whole class motivated and pushing harder, but always with good form. His attitude is light and cheerful every time I see him and it makes getting to the gym easy knowing I’ll be led well by him when I get there.

Alyson is always very helpful in making sure I understand any modifications I can do for the prescribed workouts.

Aminta does a thorough and fantastic job of warming you up and preparing you for the movements in the workout. The coaches are always providing substitutes and modifications to cater to my abilities.

Cordell is great! He is conscious of form and everyone’s comfort level, striking that balance of challenging/pushing for strength and supporting/encouraging safety. I really appreciate his classes and Village Fit overall!

Cordell brings the energy every damn time in his classes! I also know I will get a good workout in with quality instruction, guidance, and support along the way !

Manageable, varied workout. So glad I could join for a friends and family day!

Cordell's energy and attitude always make it easier to get into the gym early in the morning. He's also great at offering adjustments and modifications when I need them without ever making me feel discouraged OR pushed to do more than I should.

Cordell is the best! He's so great at encouraging me to keep going but also making lots of options for modifications and staying safe.

Aminta’s positivity is infectious. I really appreciate her expertise. She knows when I need a modification before I do, keeping me healthy and having fun.

Alyson did a great job instructing a big class. She gave useful tips for the push press. The workout was fun. Partner workouts are motivating.

Cordell is always upbeat and positive. Workouts are hard for me but Cordell makes it fun and fast paced

Clear instructions and motivating environment- thank you

Awesome class, clear direction, and an all around great workout.

Cordell is a fantastic coach. He is very knowledgeable and great with modifications when needed. He also has an energetic attitude making the 5:50am class fun!

You are always incredible! Thank you!

I felt engaged the entire time and was grateful for the modifications since I was on a hiatus due to the holidays. Aminta brings a positive energy and knowledgeable perspective I need when lifting.

Alyson did a great job of making sure that each athlete had the modifications they needed to get a great workout. She enthusiastically cheered us on through our work💪🏻🤩
