Specialty Athletic Training - Portland

Specialty Athletic is awesome. We were clients for many years, focusing on strength, muscle tone, coordination, and so much more. I can’t say enough how positive this experience was for my kid. Fitness, confidence, relationships… Specialty Athletic is doing important work!

We couldn’t be more pleased with Specialty Athletics! Ryan and his team have found a way to help kids that need that extra boost, and they make that happen with both positive motivation and special caring. My kids main trainer Emily, epitomizes the best in Specialty Athletics. Emily has made our daughter feel so good about herself. She’s always making strong gains. Her other trainer Mercury was just as good at growing confidence and ability. I would recommend Specialty Athletic whole heartedly!! Thank you Ryan.

Our son has trained with Specialty Athletic Training for 7 years and they have provided an amazing experience every step of the way! Ryan and his trainers are always positive, focusing on the strides your athlete makes and pushing him/her (gently) to achieve at the right pace. We have never seen a more enthusiastic group of individuals focused on all of the right things. If you or someone you love is interested in a very individualized training experience, Specialty Athletic Training is the place to be!

My son has been working with the fabulous people at Specialty Athletic on and off for nearly 9 years. Off the bat, appointment number 1, Ryan's ability to connect with my son was nothing short of magical. He truly has a gift. His passion for working with kids like mine is apparent, and he recruits like-minded trainers to his team. It has been a joy to watch him grow his business over the years.
When the pandemic hit, they immediately jumped into flexibility mode and committed to staying connected. Virtually, Specialty continued to offer their training sessions, but also new options as well. I signed my son up for their virtual yoga class with Galen, he's been attending ever since. He looks forward to it every week, and it's been a great constant for him during this stressful and isolating time. I'm grateful to Ryan, Galen, and Specialty Athletic Training for their continued support and presence, and for all they do for families like ours.

We just love Specialty Athletics. My kiddo is not necessarily someone who you would describe as sporty. But he is so excited before and after each and every session. The sessions have helped him recognize his personal enjoyment of exercise, his own agility, and have contributed towards his general sense of self-confidence. We're working with Emily but also know Ryan. Both are incredible - really connect with my kid at his level. I am so grateful we found them!
