Built for Portland personal trainers
Portland counted 352 employer fitness centers, 14.0 per 100,000 residents and 98th of 387 metros. Multnomah County had 114, Washington County 102 and Clark County across the Columbia in Washington state 64, so the market is spread across two states. Eighty-six had ten to nineteen staff. A trainer with clients on both sides of the river needs session locations settled at booking, and recurring weekly slots keep the commute predictable.
Washington County has 16.9 fitness centers per 100,000 residents, ahead of Multnomah County's 14.4, and it is the county that grew since the 2020 base. Metro-wide it is one employer fitness center for every 7,200 or so people. Beaverton and Hillsboro clients are the growing pool, and session locations chosen at booking keep a trainer's crosstown driving in check. A trainer with clients in Beaverton, Hillsboro and Vancouver can group the week by side of the river and list each spot separately, so a Clark County client never books a Hawthorne park session by mistake.
