I highly recommend Welborn Fitness. I did the boot camp classes, which is really amazing because the coaches have something different for you everyday. I started to see results within the first week and a half. John and the other coaches do a great job at keeping things upbeat, and push you to challenge yourself.

Excellent place for fat burning, I have seen the best results with bootcamp sessions in very short period. I am new to all the gym equipment and workouts but John was so helpful and patient in teaching.One of the greatest fitness place in Gresham…

Best place to train! The equipment is outstanding, facility is immaculate, members and staff are fun and helpful...

John was very professional and polite when I arrived. His facility is perfect for group exercises. John was extremely helpful in my weightloss goals and I look forward to doing work with him!

I highly recommend Welborn Fitness. If you want to work hard... be motivated... be encouraged... have fun while working out...this is the place to go. The coaches are positive and keep you on track. It’s a family atmosphere and everyone is very supportive of each other. It is well worth it. I wouldn’t be trained anywhere else.

Im injury-prone. Seems like every time I turn around Im falling, tripping, losing my balance etc. Its very hard for me to maintain a weight loss program or an exercise program because of this. I had an MRI done a yr ago and found that I have six compressed discs in the lumbar and thoracic region. Ive been to physical therapy programs, I have hired other physical trainers. Until I met John, I really was thinking that I would end up being on pain medications and just have to accept where Im at. John showed me that he could change that outlook for me by helping me become a stronger person and thats exactly what hes doing. In just 3 months that Ive training with him, I have not had one fall, one trip or lost my balance. My outlook for future goals is stronger now than ever. John genuinely cares about what hes doing with his clients. he listens and when youre not having a good day he pushes you even harder because he knows that you can do it! hes very upbeat, extremely knowledgeable. You cannot fail when youre working with him, unless you quit. What hes done for me, I cant express enough, how grateful I am, thank you John!!

This program was well thought out. The workout sessions are applicable for both the gym and at home. Easy to follow and even video demonstrations of the workouts. Through determination and hard work, this program will change your body, as well as your outlook of what is possible!

A great gym at a great value. They have all of the equipment you need in about the right amounts!

Working with John Welborn changed my life. The knowledge I gained about what was going on in my body was priceless. It was time and money well spent at the time. I invested not only in him but in myself and in turn walked away with the body of my dreams and a friend for life.

Ive been training with John for 5 months. I have lost 30+ pounds and about 3% of body fat. I havent felt better. John really enjoys what he does and it comes through when he is working with you. He is very knowledge about fitness, nutrition, and the body. The workouts are very well thought out and fun! John makes modifications for all types of injuries. I am so glad I made that appointment! You wont regret it either! Come join!

John Welborn is a very down to earth coach/trainer that will push you to be the greatest version of yourself.If you are desirous of being the healthiest youve ever been, I highly recommend him! No idea on how or what to workout/eat? He will design a plan specifically for you that will help you reach your goal.

Warm atmosphere.. definitely a no judgment zone. They work you hard with a smile. One of my favorite places. I feel like I have accomplished so much in such a short time!

Workouts are challenging and tailored toward your level. Classes are offered 5 days/wk, and at different hours of the day to fit your schedule.If you are looking to move your life into a positive and healthy direction, if you want to feel fitter, leaner, stronger, & have more energy contact John Welborn TODAY! You will be amazed with the results!!!

What started out as a 6week challenge has turned into 10 months and counting 💪. Why? 1) 30 minutes and done...2) Fun and encouraging atmosphere 3) I cant is replaced with lets modify it and 4) All the coaches care about your individual progress and does not compare you to others in the group. 😀

So far I love the workouts and the people I have encountered at this gym. This is my second week and I can update my review should anything change but I do not foresee to happening unless it is to show my results 💪🏼😊

John knows how to push you. He always does this in an encouraging way that doesnt make you feel stupid or insecure. there are all types of body shapes and sizes in his group classes. Everyone is at a different skill level, but it encourages you to push yourself even more. I was at a point with exercise that it was boring, I lost interest quickly and didnt want to do it anymore. I also felt like I didnt know what I was doing. John and his group takes all of that worry away, and the exercises are always different. I always love his flexibility with small children coming to be there. I know as a mom of two, when one is sick I can take them with me if need be. It makes it easy for parents to workout and get started with the day. I think besides his encouragement and enthusiasm, this is what sets him apart from all other gyms, even the ones with built in day care. Thank you!

Really appreciate all the great information and motivation your emails provide. Keep up the great job.

John Welborn Fitness is a community that embodies health, fitness, friendships and accountability. John is a great coach that focuses on the needs of each member and meets you at your level of comfort, but pushes you to be your greatest potential. I have been with JWF for 10 months now and am loving it.

You feel like a champ completing his workouts. They are challenging and work muscles that I long forgot I even had. I like that I can get in a complete workout in 30 minutes. The atmosphere is positive and inviting. John invests in each of his clients and differentiates workouts based on your ability and needs. He goes easy on no one though. Be prepared to leave your excuses somewhere far away from him. Trust him to get your mind and body in shape!!

Great atmosphere and coaches. They push you, but aren’t intimidating. It’s also fun and I never thought I would say that about a gym or a workout.

John is awesome! I would definitely recommend for anyone looking for motivation to push hard with people that really care about you reaching your fitness goals.

Great atmosphere and coaches. They push you, but aren’t intimidating. It’s also fun and I never thought I would say that about a gym or a workout.

Excellent service and a great motivator! Works with you and meets you where you are. Offers a variety of workouts. He is well trained in what he does and understands health beyond losing numbers on the scale. Also great in the community and offers single moms the opportunity to bring their kids! So great! Well worth your time and commitment!

Johns workouts are excellent, they are challenging, and motivating. I am looking forward to learning more about the right nutrition to get the results, combined with exercise.

Very motivating and supportive! Small groups. John always customizes the training to everyone and make sure everyone is pushing their limit but not hurting themselves. Lots of other resources on how to eat healthy and smart fat loss. Definitely will recommend to my friends!

John Welborn has been my trainer for over 3 years. With his overwhelming knowledge of nutrition, strength training and human behavior, I have lost 70 lbs, maintained my weight loss for over two years, and become healthier and stronger than Ive been in 40 years. He pushes me to be the best version of me I can be. Every time I reach a goal, hes there to help me set a new goal. Im on a never ending journey and hes right by my side every step of the way. Hes always available to answer questions, cheer for my successes and help me up when I stumble and fall. Im always learning something new. I wish I had made the decision to work with him earlier. I;m so happy with my transformation. Not only physical transformation but mental transformation. Thank you Coach John! Youve changed my life!

JWF is absolutely amazing! Not even exaggerating either. I was very nervous at first because I had never done anything like this before. Part of it was the money but the biggest part was because I struggled daily with low self esteem. I was worried that people would look at me the wrong way or tease me because Im a BIG girl! That is not the case. Everyone there is focused on the same goal and thats improving our health and strengthening are BEAUTIFUL bodies!! JWF was so welcoming from the very beginning. The coaches are incredible and encourage you every single day to push yourself. Workouts are modified too so dont even worry about being a beginner. We all learn and grow together and its something that I really love about being a member here. I didnt think Id be able to stick it out but here I am 2 months later and 17lbs down!!

Coach John helped me begin my weight loss journey through the Family United Project . He offered flexibility nutrition solutions with online coaching videos that are amazing ! He is well spoken and a great motivational speaker . The videos were easily understood and he walked through the nutrition and work outs step by step .I still go back and review videos and stay in touch with coach John when I have questions he’s very personable and approachable. I appreciate all the time he takes to answer my questions and doesn’t make me feel bad for asking ! He’s a great coach I recommend him to everyone I meet !!!!Thanks coach John !!!!

A Safe Place to Transform Your Body. John Welborn Fitness is a great place to workout and begin the process of transforming your body. I signed up for 12 weeks of personal training with John. Im about ten weeks in and Im probably three to five times stronger (if not more) than when I walked in the door. I think the other day I did something crazy like 27 sets of leg exercises in 50 minutes (and I didnt whine about it at all). Hes a great guy, super compassionate, and really enjoyable to work with. If youre in the Fairview, Gresham or East Portland area, definitely check him out. So much better than any big box gym and the results are incredible.

After years and I mean years of back issues Im finally walking around and more importantly getting up in the morning with little to no back pain. I have suffered for years from a low back with no curve. Getting up in the morning was painful and I would spend 30 minutes going through a stretching routine to get some relief. After working with John and learning some new exercises I am getting out of bed and not hurting. It was not a fast process but, neither was abusing my back all my life. The training was worth every penny and every minute I invested. Its so nice to have a curved back now. Cheers John, Thanks for all you do!

Amazing, supportive team. You could spend your money on a simple gym membership, but you wont get the same personalized attention and diet help. John customizes his training plan to each client. I have a shoulder injury and he designs my workout around that. He is super knowledgeable too-loves to explain why we do the things we do. I wouldnt go anywhere else!

John has built a great program. The classes I’m attending are 30 minute work outs with multiple time slots available each day. I love the format. Feeling stronger and healthier than ever.

John creates an inviting and fun environment. I was saddened that I would not be able to work with him this summer but look forward to being able to work with him in the future. He is responsible and willing to work with you on payments. He is definitely looking out for you and getting you were you want to be. If you have special conditions he is unfamiliar with he will find someone who can assist. You can tell he genuinely wants to help you reach your goals as long as you put in the work.

Very encouraging coach, awesome atmosphere and people to work out with.I am so glad I was able to train @ John Welborn Fitness during my pregnancy! I never felt so strong in my life.

Having John for a trainer was like being around your biggest fan. He’s so invested in his clients and wants nothing more than to watch us succeed in our goals. When working with John not only did I gain a teacher, but I also gained a great friend. He’s got a great heart and passion for helping and guiding people to their best selves. 10/10 recommend!!

John is amazing!Very Knowledgeable, compassionate, and motivating.Don’t let fear of failure stop you. He’ll keep pushing you until you’ve reached your potential.Make the jump...it’s worth it!

I Completed a 6 week challenge and feel great! Im seeing the results that Ive long awaited for and that was to feel better in mind and body. I no longer say I cant! and now tell myself to try! John introduces you to many variations of exercises that give you the results you want. Dont wait any longer, call John Welborn to help you improve yourself.

I found John through facebook and decided to give his gym a try after seeing all the positive feedback from his clients. I have been working out with John for 6 weeks and I am seeing results I never would have achieved on my own. Johns workouts are always new and targeting different muscle groups. He has helped me with nutrition and given me the tools to be successful with my fitness goals. He is always encouraging me to work harder and motivating me to be the best I can be. John is willing to put in the hard work to help if you are also willing to put in the hard work to be successful. Its not easy, but it is worth it! I now look forward to going to the gym to get a good workout in.

I have been working with John for the past 5 weeks after randomly finding him on the internet. I am so grateful that I came across him of all people. I have struggled with keeping my up with working out and I felt lost and on my own. John is knowledgeable and I couldn’t ask for anything more. He has encouraged me and kept me accountable through this journey. Well worth the money!

Ive never actually WANTED to go to the gym before. Im not really sure who I am anymore.... lol. I really enjoy the small group workouts, and they are always different, so Im never bored. The trainers take into account any injuries or restrictions you might have, and are able to modify or change up the workouts for you. There are also no judgey people. All of the members are also great! I highly recommend this gym!

I am so happy that I randomly found Johns 6 week challenge on Facebook. I needed someone to help me get back into fitness and keep me accountable. John exceeded my expectations, he pushed me further than I thought I could go. Without a doubt I would recommend John and his team for you! In these 6 weeks I have seen great results that I couldn’t accomplish on my own. Thank you John!

After going to John Welborn Fitness for 6 weeks I have lost 16 pounds, I feel much better and I get compliments all the time about how much better I look. He has taught me to push myself as well as how to eat in a way that doesnt feel like Im being punished. He is helping me achieve my goals and live a healthy lifestyle.

I’m on my fitness journey to lose the last little bit of baby fat on my belly and John is helping me make that happen!! It’s not easy but with a little help and encouragement from John i believe i will be able to get where i want. thank you John!!!he’s quick at replying to my DMs and is very knowledgeable:) highly recommend him

I am so so thankful for the 6 weeks of real blessing. Yes, it was difficult; yes, it took some time and effort, but I transformed my body and I am feeling great. Thank you, John, for doing an amazing job!!!

John Welborn and Staff are fantastic! I randomly saw an ad for John Welborn Fitness on Facebook and decided to see what its about.After 5 weeks with John, I am able to keep up with my toddler and I have a new excitement for working out. Thank you, John, for helping me get my energy and confidence back!- Nicole Tracy

John surpasses all my expectations of a fitness coach. Not only does he motivate me to want to push myself everyday, but he gives me the foundations to do it successfully. John is upbeat, caring, compassionate, energetic, and strives to make your goals his top priority. If youre someone who is struggling to reach their fitness goals, doesnt know where to start, or you just need a fresh start, John is the person who can help!

I have been working with John for 8 weeks now and I can say that he has totally changed the way I feel about working out and how I see my body. Before I started my 6 week challenge I thought there were things I would never be able to do, but boy did he prove me wrong. Every workout is different and he always knows how to push me just to the edge of sanity (ha!). I have lost weight and inches, but more importantly I have gained confidence in myself and what I can do! Thanks, John! I can’t wait to continue working out with you!

This is where we come together to support each other. There is no shortage of support here. Pushes you past to a place where you want to be.

John Welborn Fitness is a great place to work out. Good motivation, challenging and fun workouts that changes everytime

Awesome workouts, great guy, and a super fun environment! John pushes you to your limits and will modify any workout to fit your exact needs. Definitely reccomend!

Amazing coach, very nice people with work out with, awesome atmosphere I recommend this fitnesses center way beyond 100%

Ever been to a gym where you are completely comfortable? Never feeling judged? Allowed to talk back to the coach? Well thats this gym! John truly cares about what he does and his clients. I will say, you are definitely going to hurt after every work out. You will at some point feel haterad towards him, it is completely normal and he understands. You will look at him and want to just strangle him a couple of times. However, when you have the look on your face about ready to scream, he will look at you and say Go faster! keep going! I know you can do it!. You magically take that anger and use it to keep it going. John doesnt judge just likes to motivate. He has a sense of humor and once you get to know him you can get it out of him. You will hate life and wish evil things upon him. But in the end, he will make you better than you already are! He will have your back the whole way and respond to messages most of the time. When it comes to messages, you might have to give him a nudge every so often. Finally, if he tells you to workout until the bell rings, I hope you can go for awhile! He means well but my golly! My abs feel like they are going to fall off!

John is very knowledgeable about health and fitness, and very willing to go above and beyond to help people! He genuinely cares about the health and well being of his clients.

Great workouts, motivating and caring coaches! So happy I joined JWF!!!

Im a veteran who got injured in Afghanistan and before I met John I had accepted that I wouldnt be running or physically training anymore which was a large part of my self confidence and lifestyle. Meeting John was a life changing event for me as he has helped me develop and has shown me that what I thought I had lost was merely obscured by my injuries. I will forever be thankful for that.

Closing in on my 6 week challenge with John Welborn Fitness (JWF) and Staff. Ive met some amazing people over these 6 weeks and appreciate the kick start of living a healthier lifestyle and doing some exercises which I thought Id never be able to do. The gym is small but effective; John and the Staff push you but modify the stretch or exercise to your limitations. If youre local and looking for a quick start way to getting healthier, highly recommend JWF. You get to work out with all types of people of different ages and backgrounds. However, one concerning issue was when clients were allowed to bring their children which in my opinion is not safe or they may have brought a friend which can seem like an audience. Be prepared to post your measurements on a board for all to see. You also will be using equipment in a circuit fashion, so if you go after the person with heavy sweat...be prepared. If any of this makes you uncomfortable, dont sign up or ask for one on one sessions. Read your contract, ask questions and know what you are signing. John and Matt are very knowledgeable and will challenge you to do things you didnt think you could. But YOU have to work at it and make the right decisions for YOU. If youre ready to commit to YOU, then sign on the dotted line and get it DONE.

John is an expectional personal trainer. His knowledge in nutrition and fitness is mind blowing! I have learned so much from him. The passion he has for his work really shows through! He is so invested into each and everyone of his clients. Your goals are his goals. Your concerns are his concerns. He is not only a coach to his clients...he is also a friend!

As a fellow personal trainer, I can say that John and his methods are a solid, healthy and fun approach to reach your fitness goals! Keep it up!!

Coach John is a great fitness trainer and coach. He has surpassed my expectations to help me be successful in my weight loss and strength training goals.

Amazing fitness coach! I did the family United project with my mom and he’s great!

I’m working out whit John, I’m excited to transform my body!

Awesome trainer, hes been helping me for about 2 years now and hes helped me get closer to my fitness goals everytime i train with him, not only a trainer but a great friend that actually cares about your well being and success.

Where to even start?! Well I met John through my nutritionist that I had only been working with a couple weeks. I went to an open gym for free that John was putting on; I had every excuse not to go, but I pushed myself and went. Best decision I have ever made!! I have done so many fad workouts, diets, worked with a few trainers, but nothing has compared to the knowledge and passion that John has for health, fitness and especially his clients!! Now why did it stick this time and not the others, especially when my biggest excuse is being a single parent who cant get to the gym? I whole heartedly believe that John has played a huge part in why Im not quitting and have stomped on all my excuses! Im only about two months in, but I still get excited daily for my workouts and wonder what hes got up his sleeve next! Just when you think the workouts cant push you any farther, oh you just wait!! I still look at John sometimes like hes nuts if he thinks I can lift that much weight with one arm or do a certain exercise. But ever since I have put my full trust in him with my fitness journey and goals, I believe more in myself and dont question him anymore (still give him crazy looks of course though lol). He will not let you give up on yourself or validate any of your illegitimate excuses! My biggest excuse is not being able to get to the gym because Im a single parent who is unable to go with me. Well John squashed that excuse fast and allows my son to come with me! Which made my mama heart smile as now my son gets to be apart of my motivation and lifestyle. John is one of the most positive and motivational people I have met in my life. He remembers all the little things about his clients and caters to each one of us during a group workout so that we each get the most out of it while making sure any previous injuries we may have are not injured further. And the positive encouragement and feedback each one of us receives during the workouts, just pushes us all to keep going and to not stop even when our mind is trying to convince us otherwise. Im not sure where Im at after two months as Im not doing a weigh in or measurements for another week (will update), but I can tell yall this: my clothes fit better, Im happier, Im more positive towards life and myself, Im more motivated than ever to reach my goals and stick with em, and have found the best fit fam that God could have ever blessed me with! Thanks Coach John! Words will never be able to express how grateful I am for you and what you do!

John is an excellent trainer with a positive gym culture! It doesnt matter what level of fitness you are at, you have lots to gain from this guy.

Very encouraging....Very motivating.....hard work, but easy to work with

Excited! Love the energy, the vibe!
