About Me
My name is Ryan Achenbach, and I’m a certified personal trainer serving the Portland, Milwaukie, Oregon City, Clackamas, Gresham, and Happy Valley areas. I am proud to be a certified drug-free state and national powerlifting record holder and a former sponsored teenage bodybuilder. With over 17 years of experience and more than 23,500 personal training sessions completed, I bring a wealth of expertise to every client I work with.
 
I initially pursued studies to become a Physical Therapist Assistant but ultimately chose a more hands-on, personal approach to fitness training. My passion for fitness led me to roles at LA Fitness, 24 Hour Fitness, and Snap Fitness, where I observed significant shortcomings in the corporate gym model. These facilities often prioritized profits over personalized, results-driven service, leaving clients without the attention and care they deserved.
 

At Valley Strength and Fitness, we reject the “one-size-fits-all” approach. Our mission is to deliver individualized fat-loss, strength training, bodybuilding, powerlifting, and general fitness coaching tailored to every client’s unique needs. Drawing on extensive experience as both athletes and coaches, we are dedicated to helping you achieve your goals and unlock your full potential.

Is Valley Strength Right for You?
Valley Strength and Fitness is the ideal choice for anyone seeking highly customized personal training in a supportive, private setting. Located in Happy Valley, Oregon, our Downtown Clackamas facility has been recognized for excellence, earning awards in 2019, 2023, and 2024.
 
Unlike corporate gyms that prioritize membership numbers over service quality, we focus on providing individualized attention and science-based training programs. Whether you’re looking to enhance your fitness, strength, or physique for everyday life—or even competitive powerlifting or bodybuilding—we are here to guide you every step of the way.
 
Most of our clients come to us with a desire to improve their quality of life. Whether you are just beginning your fitness journey or are looking to refine your routine, our experienced trainers will create a plan tailored specifically to your goals.
 
Our Mission
At Valley Strength and Fitness, our mission is to provide a welcoming, private training environment where clients can achieve their goals with the guidance of experienced professionals—not trainees gaining experience at your expense.
 
Our ideal client is anyone with a positive attitude and a willingness to work hard. We offer expert guidance and motivation to help you achieve lasting results, whether you’re a professional athlete, casual gym-goer, or someone entirely new to fitness.
 
We also specialize in working with clients who have special needs, helping them build stronger, more capable bodies to improve their daily lives. No matter your experience level, we are here to support you on your journey to better health and fitness.
 
If this aligns with your goals, we would love to help you transform your life through personalized training. Let’s get started!

Even trainers slip up! Here's my own transformation from July 2022 to December 2022

Kaden’s parents came to me with a goal: to get their son strong enough to pass the West Point Military Academy Fitness Assessment.
 
When he first started, Kaden couldn’t complete a single pull-up, sit-up, or push-up. Fast forward to the end of his training and he was knocking out 9+ pull-ups and built the strength and endurance needed to pass his Fitness Assessment!

Negative Steroid test. I only compete in Drug Test powerlifting

The fitness industry is full of false advertising, from celebrities to trainers—especially right here in Clackamas and Happy Valley. Many of them, both men and women, rely on Ozempic, Steroids, TRT, while promoting unrealistic results. I won’t promise to turn you into a magazine cover model, but I will promise you this: no gimmicks, no nonsense—just honest, effective training and nutrition plans that actually work for real people.

I've worked at all the corporate gyms in my career
