I've been working out with Tony for about 9 weeks and the results are insane. He is no BS and helps you work towards your goals in a way I have never experienced with a coach/trainer.
However, don't waste your money or time if YOU are not truly ready to put in the WORK. He will rightly fire you.
Most importantly, I feed Tony tacos at least 1.5x week and the results are clear:
He is my greatest creation.

Tony is super personable and incredibly knowledgeable. I knew very little about technical weight lifting when I first started training with Tony, but he does an amazing job of working towards perfecting the basics and then progressively building up to more complex movements, all while explaining the science and "why" behind his methods. I cannot recommend him enough for anyone who wants to seriously consider weight training.

I had the absolute privilege to train with Tony in powerlifting for about a year. I am a former olympic weightlifter who competed nationally, and have every certification that you can get in the sport, as well as an NASM certification. For my research and experience as a athlete and coach myself. Tony is the best coach, an absolute professional, and trainer for lifting sports that can be found in the Portland area and an excellent athlete himself. One of the things that I most appreciate about his training style is his attention to typically undertrained muscle groups that typically cause power

Tony and his team are definitely the best in the business. I was a division 1 athlete in college and have seen several strength trainers, athletic trainers, physical therapists, chiropractors and medical doctors and none of them have helped me as much as Tony. His understanding of the musculoskeletal system helps me feel better from my back pain and helps me gain strength I had lost due to pain I had. Tony and his team are also extremely personable. They make you feel welcome and supported while challenging you to achieve your goals. I highly recommend Sandbothe Strong to anyone and everyone, of

I came to the gym in the midst of Covid and was out of shape and unhappy and weighed more than I ever had. Working with Alex has been the best thing for me and my soccer skills and my overall health. I feel faster and stronger and I have more energy. I tell everyone I know to come work out here. As a woman, going to the gym can be scary and intimidating but I have felt welcomed and encouraged at Sandbothe since day 1. Every trainer there is intelligent and kind and wants the best for all of their clients but Alex stands out because he's the tallest. :)

Alex Villareal is an exemplary trainer. Whatever your goals are Alex can help you get there. Alex is very dedicated. His knowledge of strength and conditioning is top tier and he's been trained by some of the best in the world. He also has just the right amount of compassion for each of his clients unique situations. This, combined with navigating his way to and ideal physique from a less than ideal starting position make Alex an ideal personal trainer for beginners and experienced trainers alike.

I cannot possibly recommend Alex at Sandbothe Strong enough. I started strength training and a nutritional plan with Alex Villarreal a little over a year ago and could not be happier that I made the decision to do so. I started from scratch, having never set foot in a gym before, and he made it such an easy transition. His professionalism, communication skills, and THOROUGH knowledge of nutrition and strength and conditioning techniques are absolutely top-tier. I truly cannot even begin to explain the impact his coaching has had on my health, and consequently, all other aspects of my life. No gimmicks

Jen is a BOSS. I've been training with her for almost 1 1/2 years now and it's hard to remember what my body felt like before starting this journey with her. I never thought I'd be into strength training, but Jen has given the opportunity to prioritize and understand the importance of taking responsibility for my own health. She pushes me to become stronger both physically and mentally. She also takes the time to meticulously explain how my body works, and what the purpose behind each workout is. If you're looking for a trainer who's going to relentlessly push you to become better AND keep you
