Risio Athletics

Risio Athletics Woman owned gym in Portland, OR that provides group fitness classes that build strength, skill, and cardiovascular endurance. Think You Know CrossFit? Not here.

You Don't Know PE. Not all CrossFit gyms are created equal. Each gym is individually owned and operated. You will find huge differences from one to the other. We welcome you to check out why our CrossFit gym is different. You're our focus. At other gyms you’ll find a dogmatic approach. We get it. You’re really busy. You have goals in mind. You just need to find a place to help you put the pieces together. Don't worry. We've got your back. At CrossFit Primal Energy, our goal is to help you be physically active and healthy for a long time. We are a welcoming, incredibly friendly and diverse group of people. THINK YOU’RE TOO OLD? THINK AGAIN. From ages 20-60, you’ll meet men and women of all shapes, sizes, and athletic abilities – different people with diverse goals. THINK YOU’RE TOO OUT OF SHAPE? NO WAY. We help you reach your goals - not someone else's idea of fitness. We can help you get stronger, get faster, lose weight (we have members striving to lose anywhere from 5-50 pounds), develop active habits, and increase your mobility (especially if you sit in an office all day). We would love to chat with you about your health goals and how we can help you reach them. WHAT CAN I EXPECT AT CROSSFIT PRIMAL ENERGY? Every day you’ll see familiar faces, give countless high fives, encourage each other when a workout is extra tough, or maybe you just had a rough day and need a little extra support. We are here for you. We bring together people who help us create a fun, safe, and supportive community. You will not be anonymous here. You won’t find banks of mirrors or rows of treadmills. People are engaged in the workout – not just mindlessly putting in their time. If that is what you are looking for we can point you in the right direction (like 24 Hour Fitness or LA Fitness, where nobody knows your name). We carefully plan our programs to give you a constantly varied, yet balanced workout. Our coaches will be teaching and guiding you from start to finish. You’ll know the names of everyone you are with and chances are you will join them for a happy hour after a workout sometimes. If you are ready to learn new skills, gain strength, endurance and find out how to take care of your body so you will be moving for years and years, come check us out. Less excuses. More benefits. Hire experienced coaches. Make friends. You already work hard. Why not play hard with us? Members love it. We think you will too. CrossFit Primal Energy, Portland, OR 97202

The best night of the year!!!! We LOVE a community event, and whats more than fun than getting dressed up and seeing all your fit friends in real life clothes!? (Don't answer that because we all know the answer is staying home in your pajamas in peace and quiet with your pets on your lap but that answer doesn't apply in this circumstance.)

See yall there!!!

Some words on the Open! We are no longer affiliated with CrossFit and will not be doing the Open in the same vein as we have years prior. We respect and support those who have done the Open year after yea, and wish to continue to test their fitness by participating in it this year. We'll provide a time and space with registered judges who can assist you through the workouts as needed. If that's something you're interested in, please let Coach Sydney or Coach Margaret know and we will further coordinate!

Alternately, if you like the idea of an online competition with your peers across the entire fitness space, the .fdn puts on an awesome yearly competition in which all proceeds go to support LGBTQ+ communities. If you and some other peeps want to get together to do those workouts, Risio will happily host you! Let us know!

Picture this: it's Sunday morning, you're well rested and caffeinated and so freakin' ready to go tackle a 45-50 minute workout with running and biking and lunging and rowing and burpeeing and skiing and sleds (oh my!) with all your strong strong gym friends. Literally nothing better!!!

If you aren't a member at Risio, we'd still love to see you come get your sweat on with us on Sundays- drop ins at the gym are $25. Come on down!
