Personal training for seniors in Portland
Stay strong, steady, and independent. At our Slabtown studio, we help adults build real-world strength with coaching shaped around your body, your history, and your goals. Every plan starts where you are today, and moves at a pace that feels right.
Why strength training is essential after 50
Resistance training is the most effective intervention available for healthy aging. As we age, targeted strength work acts as a prescription to protect your body against natural decline:
Sarcopenia & muscle preservation: Adults lose 3% to 8% of muscle mass per decade after age 30, accelerating after 50. Custom strength training slows and reverses muscle loss, keeping your metabolism active and your body capable.
Bone density & osteoporosis defense: Loading your skeletal structure through safe, controlled resistance signals your bones to retain mineral density, lowering the risk of osteopenia and fractures.
Balance & fall prevention: Falls are the leading cause of injury-related loss of independence in adults over 65. Our programming targets hip stability, ankle mobility, and core strength to keep you confident on stairs, curbs, and uneven Portland trails.
Everyday functional independence: Lifting groceries, getting up off the floor comfortably, carrying grandchildren, and working in the garden require functional power. We train these movement patterns directly.

Training at Hyatt Strength + Wellness is completely private and coach-led. Before you lift a single weight, we conduct a thorough movement and health history assessment. Past joint replacements, arthritis, spinal issues, and medical considerations dictate every exercise selection.

What our members say
Frequently asked questions
Yes, absolutely. Research shows that adults can gain significant muscle mass and bone density at any age. We begin with a comprehensive movement assessment and progress your weights gradually. Because coaching is always supervised, your form is monitored on every rep.
We work with all three every week. We build your entire program around your medical history. Our CSCS-certified trainers adjust exercise variations, loading angles, and ranges of motion so you strengthen the surrounding muscles without irritating joint surfaces. Loading bone and muscle safely is one of the best things you can do for both arthritis and bone density.
Yes. Balance and foot/ankle stability work are core components of our senior programming. We train lateral stability, single-leg control, and rotational strength so you feel steady on stairs, curbs, and wet surfaces.
One-on-one personal training sessions start at $93 per session, with package pricing that lowers the per-session cost.
Both are coach-led and closely supervised. One-on-one training gives you a coach’s full attention every session—a good fit if you’re working around an injury or prefer privacy. Small-group training keeps that same level of form coaching while adding the accountability and energy of training alongside others working toward similar goals.
Most members do well with one to two coached sessions a week, plus simple movement at home in between. We set the right cadence for you at your consultation. Strength and energy usually show up within four to six weeks, and confidence on stairs often comes sooner. Your InBody scans give you an objective read on muscle gain along the way.
No. Most clients start precisely because they are not sure where to begin, or haven’t exercised in years. We meet you where you are and build from there—there’s no fitness level required to book your first session.
We are located at 2001 NW 19th Ave #102 in Slabtown, near New Seasons. We offer a dedicated private parking lot with free client parking, making your visit completely stress-free.
