Reviews of Firebrand Sports (Gym)

Megan Cwiklinski

I go to a lot of workout studios around Portland, OR but no one offers the variety like Firebrand Sports does! Pyrolates, Cycle, Urban Row and Firebarre! The Pyrolates class (also known as Lagree Fitness) is an extremely challenging workout that forces you to become stronger physically and mentally! I have seen a ton of changes in my body since coming here and have lost several inches from this class as well! Not only are the workouts challenging, but the instructors are really fun people and once you join it is more of a community than just a place to work out! :)

I couldn’t be happier that I found Firebrand!!! I’m not one to stick with any workout routine AT ALL, so for me to be still excited and willing to work out after 10 months is a really big deal. The Lagree method is a really great low impact/high intensity workout. Because you protect your joints during every exercise, I’ve even taken a few classes with a sprained ankle and surprisingly it didn’t even hurt (driving to class was harder on the ankle then taking the class) Is it challenging? Yes Is it confusing? Yes, only at first. Is it worth it? YES! Stick with it and you will amaze yourself!

I’ve been doing Lagree for several years and have been a member at Firebrand since moving to Portland. The instructors and employees here are all wonderful!

I love this studio. I'm obsessed with Lagree. The cycling bikes are very nice (but not a huge fan of the cramped space). The new row studio is very cool as well. I'm not as huge of a fan of FireBarre just because I'm not into neon lighting, and I prefer other barre studios, but still a great workout! If I still lived in Portland, I would come here all the time.

Masha Georgiev

I love the studio, the cleanness, and the effectiveness of the workouts. I also appreciate that some of the instructors made an effort to remember my name, and encourage me personally during the workout! It makes a huge difference!

Lauren Short

Nothing else in Portland like this place! The workouts are truly life changing!

Jenna Ramji

Firebrand is amazing! All the instructors are incredible! I appreciate their focus on form in every class. I am hooked to the rowing classes and am starting to get into Lagree more (which is a crazy hard but fantastic workout!!!) I would highly recommend Firebrand to anyone who wants to work hard and see results!

Great combination of strength training and cardio. Such a beautiful, clean and well kept facility.

Brice Terrible

Best instructors, best facility, amazing clients, and the most aggressive burn I've found in any other workout ever before. Pyrolates is the star class, but rowing, cycling, and firebarre are equally challenging and results driven. And it somehow only keeps getting harder...

Jude Sturman

Instructors are very knowledgeable and friendly. They have the best app. It's great to be able to manage classes with my busy schedule.

I hate writing negative reviews, but I felt as a potential new client (that might google search this studio prior to going...) this is information I would want to hear. 1. There is absolutely no doubt the Lagree workout is unmatched. However, if you are set on this workout, try a competing studio. 2. The culture and community at the studio is horrific. I have never experienced such negativity, hostility, and awkward communication at a boutique studio, and I have tried many studios nationwide. I actually witnessed the owner sitting in on a new instructors class, only to humiliate the poor new instructor by outwardly correcting and shaming her in from of the entire class. (And this is one of MANY instances I saw). 3. Instructors are not trained properly. If you are not in stellar shape or are new to the workout, you risk injury, because they have no clue what they are doing. The instructors actually don’t even have to take the class before being certified! Someone tell me how that makes sense?!?!?! 4. The owners have zero respect for their paying (and high paying at that) clients. They don’t want to hear honest feedback, they talk negative about nearly every small business in Portland, and are selfish. I highly recommend checking out a different Lagree studio in the area before giving your money to this place.

This is a fantastic place for bettering your body! The interior is very cute, the workout is challenging to whatever level is fitted for you, and the staff there are all very friendly. I can't wait to be back at Firebrand!

Marie Seitzer

Really great studio that is clean, small classes. Great amenities and a juice bar inside.

Laura Watson

Firebrand Sports has to be THE BEST studio I have yet to discover. The classes are INTENSE, the instructors & staff are AWESOME, FRIENDLY and HELPFUL, the class sizes are SMALL, the class times ROCK (I am an early morning person)...I never realized that getting FIT, STRONG and SWEATY would be soooooo much FUN! I am hooked!!

Brooke Martin

This place is awesome!

Rachel Murphy

Friendly staff and an excellent workout! I’ve been coming for almost a year now and I feel amazing! Loving the results.

J Wa

Amazing instructors who really care about your form, health and quality of your workout. Great variety of workouts- Pilates inspired strength training, rowing and circuit training. This gym provides the ultimate workout!

Lana Atchley

I pass Firebrand so often but never understood that they are not just another studio. The equipment and classes are top notch! Every step to starting was easy. Infomation on the website from how to prepare and real descriptions of the class; the workouts are addictively challenging. Being able to register using the MindBody App and a reliable Waitlist Text with an update; which made planning your day easier. Added perks to your workout experience. Book a class via MindBody App The Staff & The Instructors are AMAZING - Each unique and all rockstars Fellow Members - Encouraging and Friendly Equipment - initial draw (LaGree) and now I am interested in checking out the rowing class. Facility is very Clean with a Fresh Open Space Portland Juice Company right inside! Fresh Juice - after class! Socks and such for purchase and brands you like. So happy to have taken the step to sign up for a class and now I am in my 10 class package (sign up) which will soon turn into membership.

Why I love Firebrand: the personal attention and support of instructors and staff; variety of modalities and approaches available; unique, sophisticated, high-quality equipment; inspirational and approachable staff. Additionally, the location is very easy to get to and from via public transportation, and the changing area and shower are always clean. I love the inspirational messages on the mirror in the restroom area!

Ryan McAlvey

If you want to get fit and get your ass kicked this is the place to do it. Legree Fitness is unlike any other workout you'll find and is never the same. Urban Rowing is a great cardio, zero impact workout and the Cycle classes are on the most unique bikes you'll ever use in a spin class. Great and professional instructors, friendly staff, clean and welcoming space, you will walk out of there feeling exhausted and accomplished every time

Huelo Dunn

Lagree is an awesome workout. It gets results and never gets boring or easy for me. The staff here is super nice and I appreciate that they have so many classes on their schedule. I've been doing their classes for about 6 months and I'm still hooked.

Rachel R

Love Lagree, love the Instructors, and all of the Front Desk staff! The main issue with Firebrand are the owners. While in the studio you will often hear them sitting at the front desk loudly insulting one of their employees, or body shaming a client. For claiming to be a empowering feminist business, this is nothing of the sort. With such high turnover, maybe 6 mangers in this past year, it is clear that I need to take my business elsewhere. I encourage others to take a deeper look into the kind of businesses you are supporting.

Kelly Newman

Awesome class and friendly staff.

Norman Huynh

Firebrand Sports is an incredible fitness studio. Classes are intense and never exceed 45 minutes. They offer Lagree Fitness, which has been an incredible discovery. For cardio, I usually take their rowing class and if you need HIIT, they offer a creative and fun session called Triple Threat. The instructors are each unique in their approach and much can be gained from taking a class with each one of them. There is always someone smiling and greeting at the door. I highly recommend this fitness studio!

Ellen K

Firebrand offers a friendly, energetic environment where you're constantly be physically challenged. Every workout is different and you're able to adjust to make it your own. I've been a member for 3 months - I've seen a significant improvement in my strength and toning. Highly recommended!

Linda Cereda

Variety of workouts, very professional and motivating staff, great environment

Jessa Moon

Firebrand fitness is the BEST. Lagree to get you toned, triple threat for HIIT and row for a full body workout - all three to keep things fresh. The instructors are knowledgeable and challenge you (+ are awesome) and the space is inviting with awesome amenities. Can’t recommend Firebrand more!

Wendy Baker

I love that I can get a workout in in 50 minutes. The workout was not only efficient but effective. With a busy schedule, these two elements in a training program are essential.

valvinger

Great staff, new equipment , beautiful space, convenient location. Hard work out.

Don

Absolutely wonderful place to work out

Jenny G

FB used to be pretty good but they lost all of their good instructors and hired people with seemingly zero fitness experience (or even basic fitness knowledge). They cancel classes at the last minute with little or no notice. They now don't even have Sunday classes.(at the Lake Oswego studio). Its just too expensive for such poor service. The management/owner staff is erratic, unprofessional, uncaring and frankly, concerning. I do not feel appreciated or even comfortable there anymore.

Courtney Brown

I love this place! My body has improved a ton! Every class is incredibly challenging, so you never plateau. The instructors are all amazing and encouraging and the staff is awesome! I love starting my day at firebrand! If you want an awesome butt, this is the place to go!

Sara Skrlin

I'm so happy I found Firebrand Sports. I was already in decent shape before I started going to Firebrand, but the Lagree Method has taken me to the next level. The instructors are high energy and make you want to work hard. Overall a great place to work out.

Gabrielle Gousset

I am so happy I have found Firebrand Sports! The workouts are incredible and the staff feel like family. The instructors really care about your form, health and overall enjoyment of each class. I highly recommend trying a class here if you haven’t already!

Laina R

I started coming here on Class Pass for the Lagree class and feel in love. The instructors are amazing, friendly, attentive, helpful, encouraging, and knowledgable. Being a member here has changed my fitness level and kept me on track. I also love that the classes are smaller so you really get to interact with the instructors and meet people in class. If you have questions or need help they are always there 10 min before class to help. The classes they offer are like no other ones around the Portland area, its made me try new things that I would have never done otherwise. I highly recomment Firebrand.

Andleeb Dombrowski

This is a fantastic studio! Lagree is a great workout that supports any of your other workouts. The instructors and staff are friendly and extremely supportive. If you haven’t tried this place out yet, you’re missing out. Hurry up and get in here!

Melissa Cwiklinski

I never thought I would join a specialty gym, but once I went to Firebrand I was hooked! The pyrolates/Lagree fitness class is excellent if you are looking for strength both physically and mentally. Love the cycle, row and barre options to get cardio in. The instructors are all awesome and really fun people, and care about you getting the most out of your workouts!

Sara Hoffman

Firebrand has been such a welcoming and positive experience. Every class has been challenging, but the each teacher has been so motivating without been judgmental and so helpful in encouraging me to push my limits. The Lagree classes are a great mix of cardio and Pilates, and the Firebarre and Urban Row classes have been an awesome addition to my cardio workouts. I have felt stronger and more in-tune with my body since I have starting taking classes at Firebrand. You will not regret taking a class!

Josh Reed

Good variety of work out options, good time choices, and friendly staff.

Laurra McGregor

Excellent vibe--positive and uplifting. A challenging workout! Can't wait to return!

Tommy Day

Firebrand has the perfect set of workout classes to get you incredibly fit and also keep it fresh all the time. I love the row classes - there’s no better way to get a super high intensity, low impact, full body workout in just 45 minutes!

Robert Griesinger

The machines are kinda crazy...still sore

Mark Redding

Great workout for all levels and ages! The staff is awesome and supportive towards your goals.

John Sparkman

Christina Provencio

Such a wonderful studio! Kickass instructors

christine mendiola

They are so helpful, encouraging and made me feel so welcome! I’m so excited to be at Firebrand!

Kim Brown

Motivational instructors. The hardest strength-building workout I've ever done. It's the most inspiring love/hate relationship. Hate to walk in the door because you know it will be the hardest thing you do that day. Love it because you walk in the door knowing that it will be the most rewarding thing you do that day.-Kim

Megan Rolerkite

Everything you need fitness related under one roof. The classes are challenging and the job done in 50 minutes.

Marc Goldring

There is nothing quite like Lagree Fitness classes to get you into shape. And Firebrand is a fabulous place to takes these classes - super gym, amazing instructors and an all round great experience. Kerry Goldring

Ognyan Moore

Good workout routine, friendly and helpful staff/instructors. Triple thread workout is a fantastic compliment for playing recreational sports.

Paula Plocharsky

Great place for a truly unique workout that will get you amazing results! This place is no joke! Encouraging instructors that motivate you to work hard every single time. The space is super friendly, clean and has an excellent management team.
