GRL PWR is more than just a name — it’s a movement.
At APEX PWR, we created GRL PWR to provide a dedicated space where girls can build strength, confidence, and community through fitness.
Available summer of 2025 for middle school & high school girls in Tigard, Beaverton, Lake Oswego and the greater Portland, Oregon metro area. Register today!
GRL PWR is a female-led weight training class built for girls in the Portland, Oregon metro area. We combine expert-led coaching with a positive, high-energy environment that encourages physical strength, mental resilience, and self-confidence. Young girls in middle school and high school can expect to learn strength training fundamentals, familiarity with a range of equipment, all while working alongside others in a safe, comfortable environment to create a fitness foundation for the future.
This class is available on Wednesdays only (at this time). We provide additional classes all week, as well as private training options if your girl(s) would like to work 1 on 1 , in a small group or bring their entire team. Click below to speak with our team about more details.
Research shows that girls are more likely to drop out of sports by age 14, and that self-esteem struggles often spike during middle and high school years. GRL PWR combats this with a holistic approach — blending performance training with real conversations and community support.
The disparity between access & resources in male athletics vs female athletics continues to exist. One research study highlights only 9% of coaches require strength & conditioning for their female athletes compared to 50% for male athletes. And that’s just athletes, not including those that aren’t participating in sports.
GRL PWR is also designed to help girls develop strength, bone density & a foundation in fitness for the future. At APEX PWR, we’re a leading provider of DEXA Scans for body composition & bone density analysis. A resounding statement we hear from both our referring providers and women themselves later in their life battling bone density concerns is, “I wish I would’ve implemented weight training earlier in my life”. GRL PWR is our answer to help young girls build confidence early in life with weight training and the weight room / gym.
Because strong girls become strong women. And strong women change the world. 💥
