About Valley Strength and Fitness

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.

Athletic & Training Background

From a young age I played basketball, baseball, football and wrestled. School Sports ended for me, when I took up bodybuilding at the age of 12, and earned sponsorship at age 15. Since that time I have experimented with many different styles/methods of lifting from bands, to kettle bells to power lifting and find value in them all. For the last few year I have been training and competing as a powerlifter, earning National and State Drug Tested titles.

Current Role

For the last 17 years I have worked with men and women in all walks of life and skill levels, as a personal trainer I believe that everyone can reach their goals they have in mind, as long as they are willing to go the extra mile to get there.
Whether it be weight loss, increased muscle mass, or improved records in their sport, I will help get you there! I love watching the progress of my clients as they close the gap on their set fitness goals.
