Hi, I’m Steve.
If you live near Sellwood Riverfront Park or commute across the Sellwood Bridge, you know how busy the local commercial gyms can get. I built Stick-To-It Fitness as the quiet, completely private alternative right on SE Milwaukie Ave.
No waiting for equipment. No loud music. Just 1-on-1 focus.
My clients in the Sellwood neighborhood come to me because they want to recover from athletic injuries, age confidently, and build strength without the intimidation factor. With over 13 years of experience and a Guinness World Record in strength, I design customized programs that keep you active, running, and moving pain-free.
You will not feel rushed. You will feel safe and guided.
And yes, you might meet Strudel the bulldog.
Stick-To-It Fitness is located on SE Milwaukie Ave, just a quick drive or bike ride north from the heart of the Sellwood neighborhood. It is an incredibly easy commute for residents in the Sellwood-Moreland area.
Yes, we offer easy, stress-free street parking directly outside our private studio for all Sellwood clients. Because we operate as a 1-on-1 personal training facility, you will never have to fight for a parking spot in a crowded gym lot.
Absolutely, Stick-To-It Fitness specializes in injury rehabilitation, longevity, and safe biomechanics for active Sellwood residents and runners. We can rebuild the strength around your joints using corrective exercises so you can keep running the riverfront pain-free for years to come.
Stick-To-It Fitness is highly suited for adults 35–65 in Sellwood who want to move better as they age, build strength safely, and avoid injury. We successfully train clients of all ages—from teens building athletic foundations to active seniors maintaining their independence. Many clients are local professionals who value privacy, expert coaching, and long-term results over quick fixes.
Your first personal training session at our private studio is a free, no-sweat strategy and movement assessment. We will sit down to discuss your health history, longevity goals, and any physical limitations. Then, we will go through a few simple movement screens, and I will show you how to properly engage your core to move in ways that prevent the pain you may be used to experiencing. This allows me to understand your baseline biomechanics and build the perfect, customized plan for your body.
Your first session is completely free — no commitment. Let's discuss your goals, assess your movement, and see if we're a good fit.
