Stafford Hills Club

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Stafford Hills Club. I have been a member of many gyms throughout my life and this one is by far my favorite. Before I used to always hate going to the gym, now I hate the times I don’t get to go to the gym, or with SHC a full-service club! After busting-out my shoulder in MMA I had to find a place that had everything I needed to rehab my shoulder and get me back into fighting shape. I was tirelessly searching for a way to afford daily access to a lap pool, yoga, quality strength and cardio machines and workout classes. As I was wrestling with the option of spending two hundred plus dollars a month and going to three different establishments to get all that I needed, I would longingly drive by the club near my home wishing I made about 10k more a year. Late at night just before closing I would even drive into the front parking area and grab glimpses of the heated outdoor pool and just watch the beautiful blue steam play against the pool lights, then slyly drive on and out the parking area again. I’m ashamed to say I waited months before making contact with Stafford Hills Club's amazing membership team, just assuming there was no way I could afford a place as magnificent as this. I quickly scheduled a tour, crunched the numbers and it was actually cheaper than all my other options and I got everything I needed and more, and without having to go to three different places. Best decisions I have ever made! Two years later I’m still a member and still can’t believe I belong to such an amazing club. I love swimming in the heated, saline lap pool. I’ve actually gotten so spoiled I have no interest swimming in any other pools now. The pool is also a great place to lounge around on a hot day and in the summer they have poolside drink and food service (and did I mention wine and beer for the adults). The pool and pool area is very kid friendly and they even have lifeguards on busier days for the kids safety! The establishment does a really nice job of making the pool area accommodate both people looking to play in the pool and people looking to lap swim/workout. Adults and kids happily coexisting in a pool… that does not always happen. There are very courteous signs asking people to shower before entering the pool and to wait ten minutes after applying sunscreen before going in. I swim in the pool 2-5 times a week and I have never noticed an issue with the people or pool being dirty. A little sunscreeny in the summer, yes, but that has since dissipated with the new ten minute plan. Seriously, it’s like five star resort style cleanliness and accommodations at SHC. Yoga classes and Barre classes are phenomenal, Zumba and U-Jam classes are a super fun way to burn calories, cycling and core classes are still on my to-do list, but they are raved about by my fellow workoutees who have taken them. Also the gym equipment is the nice TechnoGym line and is always well maintained. They have some nice specialized machines that other gyms don’t usually have, and I have never had to wait to use anything here. On the few mornings that have multiple classes and events going on and the parking lot gets full, the club provides complimentary valet service. The café and smoothie bar is amazing as well. They can charge it right to your account too so you don’t have to go retrieve your wallet out of the locker room. Locker rooms in main building have steam and sauna rooms, private showers, and customizable code lockers in case you forgot your lock. There is also an in-house Spa and Salon at SHC, I now get my haircut after Zumba and have been known to slip in for a 60 minute massage after yoga! Seriously this place is amazing!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Stafford Hills is the best health sport club ever. I have been fortunate to use the pool for over 5 years now and hope to continue for the rest of my life. Where else can I got to a pool outside in the middle of winter at 32 degrees and work out or swim with such joy. Thank you Stafford Hills Club.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I really enjoy my time at the Stafford Hills Club. I love my swim time and love the work out area!! I am going to encourage my children and their families to join!

Fantastic experience: This club is a cheerful and warm place to socialize and get your exercise. It is a beautiful space inside and out. I play tennis, take group exercise classes like yoga and enjoy pool side conversation with my friends. The grounds are park like. You can't find a nicer staff or a more beautiful club. I have been a member for 6 years and the tennis pros there have taught me so much. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: Our family loves this place. It is a great environment for kids and the tennis community is absolutely wonderful! It has become our home away from home. There is nothing bad to say about Stafford Hills other than it provides for us a sanctuary to be surrounded by friends, enjoying tennis and swimming and social events.

Fantastic experience: Great place. The staff is fantastic and the swimming pool is heavenly. In my opinion its the nicest pool in the Portland area.

Fantastic experience: April 2020. SHC has worked hard to maintain its relationship with their neighbors. We were very reluctant to join this club when if first opened. We have now been members for a couple of years and the club is really great. It has a family feel yet provides excellent services. All of the staff members are caring and friendly and the facility is kept very clean and bright. Our whole familly is now members

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Stafford Hills is the most amazing place and our family cherishes our time we spend there. The facility is always clean and the staff is extremely friendly. The management bends over backward to be sure that the members are treated fairly and that the concerns of its members are addressed. The "club" as we call it - is a place where my two kids and I spend our free time and really helps to promote this healthy outdoor fitness lifestyle. My husband - not so much desiring this aspect - enjoys his time there in the pool and the hot tub - but PLAYING with our kids. In the end, this "club" helps with reducing screen time for the entire family, developing lifestyle habits, developing friendships, and TALKING again! Chatting in the hot tub, poolside, in the steam room with other members, guests, my kids, or even my husband... it is getting back to QUALITY time. I truly can't speak highly enough of the policies at this club to be fair, uplifting, inclusive, and caring to their members. My elderly mother thought that the place was just too "fancy" for her, but completely changed her opinion. Now she enjoys the calm, clean bathrooms... the serene outdoor pool to do her laps in that aren't needing to be shared with 3 other people, a sincere effort to create a space for health - not just physical but mental. There really is nothing better than a morning swim in the beautiful outdoors. It has been the best gift I could give to my mother, my children, and my family. So overall... Stafford Hills is our favorite place... and thanks SH for your amazing work!

Fantastic experience: It’s the idea of a health club up a couple of notches. Pool is especially nice. Tennis courts are tops as well with good instructors. It has a real deli with great dishes and good IPAs on tap.

Fantastic experience: Being an "east sider", I was a little leery of the stereotypical LO / WL bros and bottled blondes. But, the members at SHC could not be nicer, and the staff has been helpful and friendly. The tennis courts are the highest quality, and the pool is uncrowded and pleasant. BIG thumbs up.

Fantastic experience: We enjoy this place and all it has to offer

Fantastic experience: Incredible club with the best facilities! Had a very enjoyable time here. I highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: My home away from home!!! Almost a year ago I almost signed back up at Club Sport for the summer so my kids could swim but one chat with Tony at SHC and I was scheduling an appointment for a tour. This place is truly the best fitness/pool club I have ever belonged to and I am so glad we made the decision to join. A few things stand out. You know that theme song to Cheers? Well Jennifer at the front desk knows EVERY SINGLE MEMBER by name. It makes for such a warm welcome into the club, like it is a friends and family club. Second, the kids club!!! I am so impressed with the staff at the kids club, I started dropping my son when he was 6 months old and I felt at ease immediately. You have to schedule any kids under 12 months of age which may seem like an inconvenience but imagine the peace of mind that comes with knowing they only allow 4 infants at one time so that a tentative staff member can be holding or tending to your little one in your absence. Every time I came to grab my kids someone was holding the baby!!! They treat my older kids just as well and get to know the kids individually and become our back up sitters. THE POOL!!! HEATED! NO CHLORINE!! Outdoors and open ALL YEAR LONG. I have taken my kids swimming on a dreary 45 degree day and don't get me started on beautiful spring sunny days when all the kids are at the pool and that's not even including summer. The pool never gets overcrowded or out of control like other public pools or health clubs. The best part is, we don't all get out wreaking of chlorine and chemicals. I have taken aerobic classes, had personal training and now I'm in my second session of an amazing group fitness training they offer called Tribe and I have truly found my tribe! The instructors are amazing and get to know you and your goals personally and really mentor and guide you through your training process whether it is your first time working out or you have been a super athlete for years. I am at the club so often it is truly a home away from home. Gotta drop your kids and get some work done in the cafe, this place is for you. Need a motivating team to work out with to get to the next level, this place is for you. Want a place to bring your kids to keep them entertained and busy ALL year long, this place is for you. Want excellent swimming lessons for your kids, SHC! Want to meet your girlfriends for a relaxing soak in the hot tub, SHC! I cannot say enough about how awesome, down to earth and invigorating the Stafford Hills Club is. Atmosphere 10 Trainers 10 Staff 10 Pool 10 Kids Club 10 Tribe class 10

Fantastic experience: Cleanest Club with Friendly staff . It’s like going to a resort everyday you go . Trainers are awesome and the classes are fun . I can’t believe this is not rated 5 stars . If this club is 3.7 stars . Any 24 hour Fitness is a Minus 10

Fantastic experience: The spa and its staff are amazing. This is a place I will come back to again and again!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to SHC for a year and a half. Best classes, instructors, staff, equipment, pool, locker room, food and beverages. The place is top quality and I couldn't imagine going to any other gym. They communicate efficiently (text, email, posted notices) so I always know what is up. Great place for families or those without children. Top notch all the way! Bonus - they have built additional parking on the west side of the building which is awesome because the lack of parking used to be an issue.
