Built by people who have designed, equipped, and run the room.

Approach
How we are different
Independent. We work for you, not for a manufacturer.
No brand to push. Every piece is chosen for your space, members and budget.
Relationships with multiple manufacturers. We can source widely and compare options side by side.
We own and run gyms ourselves. Our plans come from operating real facilities every day.
Locations
Where we work
LEVEL5 works anywhere in the United States. We have designed and equipped fitness spaces, large and small, in all 50 states and Washington, DC, from Miami, New York and Chicago to Seattle, Portland and San Francisco, and we travel for site walks, installs and openings wherever the project is. Our offices are in Portland, OR / Vancouver, WA and San Francisco, CA, but location has never limited where we take on work.
