Helping You Reach Your Fitness and Running Goals One Starting Line at a Time

Starting Line is a physical therapy clinic and studio gym, that is driven to bridge the gap between injury and performance. Helping you reach your goals is our #1 priority. We are dedicated to preparing runners and active adults for their next “starting line” through physical therapy services, massage therapy, personal training, and group fitness classes that are rooted in education, empowerment, and personalized care.

Portland Maine’s Premier Physical Therapy

Whether you are dealing with an injury or looking to chase your next PR, we are here to navigate those obstacles WITH you. We will meet you where you are and guide you to where you want to go.  It is our goal to help you learn the root cause of your problem and the importance of consistent well-rounded training. NOW is the time to discover the care you deserve!

Maine’s ONLY Treadmill Studio

Starting Line welcomes individuals of all fitness levels to push outside of their comfort zone and reach for something new. Our state of the art Woodway Treadmills, high energy group fitness classes, and certified coaches may just be what you’ve been looking for!

You’ve got options to run (or walk!), lift, or do a mix of both. All of our HIIT-style running classes have you going over varying speeds and inclines that will be challenging for beginners and veterans alike. All of our circuit-based strength classes have exercises that allow everyone to workout together while going at their own pace.

Personal Training and Semi-Private

Looking for a more individualized plan to reach your fitness goals? Personal training is designed to meet the needs of busy professionals with tricky schedules. Semi-private is designed to help people with accountability while also having the opportunity to workout with others who may share the same goals!

  • The hardest part about working out is just getting to the gym. You know you’re going to have fun once you’re there! Our goal is to create an empowering and fun environment that will help you commit to your health and fitness goals.

  • The answer to a healthy, sustainable lifestyle is increasing your overall strength. This will help you with your daily posture and keep that morning stiffness or those minor aches and pains from dictating what activities you do!

  • We want to help anyone with any goal they may have in a holistic way. We aren’t here to provide any “quick fixes”. Our goal is to educate you on healthy eating habits in addition to your workouts and get you to lead a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy can play a big role in your wellness and even speed up your recovery.

Our licensed massage therapists are trained with a combination of techniques that will help you recover from a hard workout, a stressful desk job, or even the aches and pains you may experience during pregnancy.

As Portland Maine’s Physical Therapy and Fitness Hub, we treat and train active adults all along the athlete continuum. From first time runners (and walkers!) and marathoners to youth athletes, we are here to educate and empower you to reach your goals. Starting Line was founded to provide YOU with the tools to develop smart training habits and discover your inner strength to push beyond your limits.

Education is at the center of what we do, whether you join us for a group fitness class, one-on-one personal training, physical therapy or massage therapy session.

Our team will be there to motivate, encourage, and support you every step of the way on your fitness journey, so that you feel empowered from the starting line to the finish line.

Consistent and balanced training will be the best way to prepare you for your next starting line. We will help you build the resiliency and endurance you’ll need to tackle your next “race”.
