What members say
★★★★★
I have tried a few gyms in Corvallis and helix is by far the best one. The trainers are amazing and very helpful, the work outs are incredible and I started seeing results quicker than I thought. It's a kind, mellow environment. I highly recommend!

★★★★★
I greatly appreciate the coaching at Helix where the coaches constantly look for proper form and make corrections where needed. I believe their attention to proper form has kept me from injuries that I use to get when I did exercise on my own.

Every time I go to class, no matter the coach, I am amazed at the strength and conditioning that I have accomplished because of this gym! I return weekly because it is fun and my classmates are wonderful to be around. I am so happy with the Helix experience!
