This is a totally new experience, I didn’t know what to expect with it being a VR gym but it turned out to be so much fun and it’s been working for me! I feel good after my work outs here and the staff is awesome. I always go back to workout with Jordan. Worth checking out !

Iv been working out here for almost 6 years & joining BBVR was one of the best things I have ever done for myself! I’m so much healthier than I have ever been, & some chronic pain I had for 11 years prior is completely gone, which feels like a miracle. I have so much more energy now too, I don’t even drink caffeine anymore because I don’t need it.
Exercising used to be a chore I had to force myself to do, but now it’s something I genuinely look forward to & enjoy!
The staff & members are all amazing. John is exceptional!! I am not a morning person, but it works best for my schedule to come in the morning & he makes it worth it! He is always so cheery & fun to talk to.

Black Box VR has been one of the coolest gym experiences I’ve ever had. In the last 6 weeks, I’ve lost 1% of body fat and gained 4 lbs of muscle. The workouts are great, the gamification really pushes you and I love the access to the in body scans. Would highly recommend

Wow. It's just a "wow" experience! I have never worked my muscles (full body) so hard before, and yet had so much fun doing it. Gamifying the workout experience is great on multiple levels. First, it's enjoyable, so coming in for a workout isn't drudgery or a chore. It's something I look forward to. Second, it keeps my brain engaged on the game, so I'm not thinking about how tired I'm getting. Third, it pushes me to do a little bit extra, both for points in the game and for contributing to my team's success. I can't say enough good things about Black Box VR. And if all that wasn't enough, the people I've met and worked with are universally awesome!

I've been going to Black Box VR for about a month now, (username Krylancelo) and it's easily become one of my favorite gyms. I love the fact that the workouts are only 30mins, easy to work into my schedule, and exercise my whole body as well as if I spent much longer in a standard gym. On top of that, it's fun! As a gamer and someone who gets bored of humdrum, I love the gameplay aspect. Depending on what your opponent is using will require different strategies and different work outs.
Everyone I've met so far has been friendly and encouraging, shout out to Brady! Even though it's a solo workout for the most part I still feel like I am contributing to my team and I aim to keep my streak alive! Let's go RaidStreakers!

One month in and both my wife and I throughly enjoy BlackBoxVR. Been going to the gym for years but definitely feel the difference when working out! After my 30 minute work out at Black Box VE I feel great and it’s the best workout I have ever done compared to lifting at a gym. I am throughly engaged and look forward to my next session! Sam and Brady are awesome both are always there to help with questions or suggestions! I highly recommend you check it out. My wife never really got into the gym scene but we get go Black Box VR together and work out each week and she loves it. ! Have to thank Mike and Angie for introducing us to this great experience!

Black Box VR Fitness really is a fun way to stay active. The workout is engaging, and it adapts to your abilities making it just hard enough to be challenging without tipping over into just enduring it. The staff are all very friendly and cleanliness-conscious. Brady in particular has been extremely helpful throughout the joining and onboarding process. Give it a shot!

I've been going to Black Box for years.... something I can't say about gyms, yoga and other scheduled workout classes. You have the freedom to get a workout in last minute - which helps with my unpredictable schedule - and the game always drives you to maximize your effort! Never gets boring!

5 Stars – Incredible Experience at Black Box!
Black Box isn’t just a workout place—it’s a full-on fitness experience. The facility is modern, clean, and packed with everything you need to challenge yourself and grow stronger every day.
The real magic, though, is in the people—Shout out to Brady Greer, who goes above and beyond to support each person’s fitness journey, making sure you feel seen, motivated, and empowered. Sam has been very helpful and kind! I appreciate how they are professional, friendly, and always ready to help you succeed.
If you’re looking for a place that feels like a community and pushes you to be your best, Black Box is it. Highly recommend!

I've been loving Blackbox lately. I was a little apprehensive at first, but once I had a couple weeks under my belt, I started loving it. I'm on the unlimited plan now and I look forward to working out. I even sneak extra workouts in when I get the chance. Brady, the Johns, and Sam are wonderful people. They did a great job helping me get comfortable. Love it!

Great way to get in shape. Weight is adjusted automatically as you work out so you never have to worry about adjusting the machines. The game makes for a fun work out. Keeps your mind working out too. What a bonus!

Look, not everyone is a gym rat that has a thirst to pump iron. Most of us are just your average guy who wants to feel better and inherently understand that it's important to work your body to build strength and keep healthy. Black Box VR fills that role perfectly. It makes the early morning 'slog' of working out much more rewarding and entertaining. Every rep is recorded, every weight increase included and graphed out so you can quite literally view your progress week over week on any particular muscle group. And all the while you're playing a fun game while doing it! The VR equipment really doesn't weigh you down or effect you in any way, it simply melts away as you begin the game and start working out. I have never, not once, in my life gone to the gym three times a week for over a month with the consistency that I do with Black Box VR. That tells you all you need to know.

Black box VR is perfect for busy competitive people. I love that I don’t have to come up with a workout routine, think about lifts I need to do or wait for a machine to open up. I can just schedule a time slot and then walk in and get after it They have an Evolt scanner to measure your body composition to track the gains and losses that you can’t see, but if you do this consistently everyone will see. The game aspect will push your competitive side to go for those extra reps.

I've been a member for 6 months now, and it's been quite a life changer for me. I didn't think I would like it and was worried about motion sickness, but not only did I enjoy the VR experience, but I don't get any motion sickness at all. Staff is very helpful and ready to assist if needed.

I recently started utilizing Black Box VR in my fitness routine. As someone who has lifted weights and worked out for over 30 years, I can already say that Black Box is going to be a game-changer for me. The workout itself is difficult…fast paced, engaging, and exhausting…everything you want from a workout. It only takes 30 minutes, but hits every major muscle group. The game play aspect makes the time pass quickly. Often times I forget that I’m actually working out. The space is clean and the staff is excellent. 5 stars across the board!

Started late 2024, and Blackbox has been such a great place to be. I’ve always had struggles working out, staying committed, staying motivated. Blackbox has helped me in all those fronts. The gameplay is fun, and it pushes you harder and harder each time you go. The people there are super friendly and cheer you on at every session. This is a more personal thing, but I really appreciate the individual work out booths, since I don’t have to worry being looked at all when working out, which is comforting.
They’ve got a variety of plans, I’m currently on the cheapest one, which lets me go 3 times a week during “off peak” hours, which are from about 10:30 to 4:00. If you have a lot of flexibility in your daytime schedule like I do, it’s great. The other plans, while they are a bit costly, I think are still worth it
Overall, I love going to Blackbox VR and if you’re interested at all, just stop by sometime and see if they can squeeze you in for a trial session, try it for yourself!

I went to Black Box VR Fitness today and it was great! Definitely more enjoyable than any gym experience I've had before. The only potential drawback is that it's not really a social activity like a regular gym - can- be. Absolutely worth trying out! Only $1 for the first week, and they don't autosubscribe you after. If you find yourself wanting a more fun exercise experience, you'll find it here! 😊🙌

I just completed my second workout with Black Box VR, and I'm already hooked! This innovative approach to fitness is incredibly engaging and fun. It felt more like I was immersed in a game than actually working out, which made the time fly by. The experience was so captivating that I barely noticed how much effort I was putting in—until I felt the satisfying soreness in my muscles afterward! I can't wait to see the progress I'll make with continued sessions. Go check them out!

I used to tell myself...
~ I don't have time to play games!
~ I don't want to go to the gym ~ (not my thing, not where I want to spend my time or money).
~ It's a place for vanity seekers.
~~~ NONE ARE TRUE !!!
I LOVE playing games that make me happy. I spend time doing what makes me happy! The 30 minutes I'm at Black Box are super-efficient and without adjusting any weights.
It is my health that I'm spending time on so I can better enjoy all the other things I enjoy doing! 🌞
I have met several great new friends at Black Box. Every employee ~ electrical & mechanical engineers, programmers, and owners have always been as friendly and warm as family.
STAFF adjusted my one repetition maximum so I could safely return to the gym 4 weeks after surgery. Being able to participate in the fun is helping me to recovermore quickly!💪🏋️♀️🥇
You're welcome to join me ~ please do!
Today, I'm hanging out with new friends after working out at Black Box VR Fitness. The whole experience is Gamified with VR that is unique each day and the mobile app tracks my progress automatically.
Today's, June 19th from 4 to 6 there's an open house and give away. Tickets for the Boise Music Festival. Join me here today if you can!

Blackbox has been incredible. There isn’t a big secret to fitness. If you can progressively overload your muscles over time you will get stronger and more hypertrophy.
Blackbox solves progressive overload with a cable machine that automatically calibrates to your level of strength, and keeps track of your strength on the app. It pushes you up to show up and do your best because if you don’t, their enemy Tidal might take down your crystal!
Blackbox solves the “over time” portion by creating an engaging community and fairly addicting game. I’m excited to level up in the arenas, and I feel peer pressure to show up and keep my streak high so I can earn rewards for my team. I like to look at my strength charts over time and see the many plateaus and rising above the plateaus.
I’ve been here for 7 months so far. I’m loving it! The game will only get better from here on out. There’s some balancing that needs to be done, but the sky is the limit and I’m still shocked that I’m getting such good results from a VR workout, 3 days a week, 30 minutes a day.

BlackBox VR takes the mundane out of working out! It’s great that the full body workouts are tailored so that you can make fitness gains without even realising it because of how fun and engaging they are. Plus this is the first gym that I’ve seen where the staff/trainers take the extra step in remembering every clients name and create a sense of community for all members (both new and experienced). Hopefully an at-home BBVR gym will be available in the future!

This gym is so good I feel fortunate to happen to live in an area that has a Black Box VR location nearby. Though I am very active, I've only one other time in my life worked out in a gym before joining BBVR. Luckily no gym or workout experience is required to get the hang of the BBVR workouts. The whole experience is easy to learn and fun to continue advancing through. The algorithm handles all the weights for you, which for me is a priceless feature that makes this experience superior to any other gym. Try it! You will not regret it. I am 4.5 weeks into my membership and I can't believe how much more endurance and strength I have for my skiing, climbing, and kayaking.

Black box finally brought a high intensity workout paired with a motivation competitive environment for the solo user! This work out is time sensitive and easy to book in advance. Private rooms allow for privacy if you’re working toward goals and don’t want to be on stage in the front of the gym where everyone else is facing. I found this gym to be the best of all worlds. I was frustrated waiting for people sitting on their phones on equipment I was wanting to use and with setting weights and cleaning equipment back to back, my gym work outs were always 75-90 minutes. Now I can get a better workout that is more high intensity within 30 - 60 minutes, the system incentivizes and motivates you to push harder, and there is no cleaning of machines required. Thank you BBVR Team.

I've been working out with Black Box since October of last year. It's been an amazing ride! What they have accomplished is incredible. As for the experience, nothing compares to it. You do six different full body exercises inside of a virtual reality game using a proprietary cable machine. All of this is in complete privacy so you don't have to worry about feeling judged or inadequate. As you improve the program levels you up and the intensity of the workout increases. The game is a bit like tower defense with you trying to take down the AI's crystal. Oh, and pre-workout and post workout whey protein are included with the membership to maximize your results. On top of that, the team is very welcoming, and with six booths, you can come in almost anytime. Anyway, the first month is free, so I would recommend trying it out!

This place has been a god send! I have been able to accomplish things physically I NEVER thought possible. I started barely being able to lift any weight and couldn’t even finish a 30 mins workout. Now, I have at least quadrupled what I can lift in any given set and I can make it though my workouts even when my body is working against me (yay asthma, haha!).
John was one of the biggest reasons I came back after totally being embarrassed that I almost passed out my first time. He made sure I took a second, brought me some water, all while encouraging me to keep going because it GETS BETTER. He was so right!
I kept coming back… and every time, no matter what hero trainer was manning the front that day… they were ALL so encouraging. John, Josh, Diego, and Michael have not only taken the time to encourage me throughout my journey, but they have also become friends. I look forward to seeing them every workout. BBVR might just look like a fancy, VR gym on the outside. But they are more than that…. BBVR is my family.

I recommend this gym to everyone. I have been fighting chronic back pain for over 20 years. I called all the gyms in the valley looking for help to manage my recovery after surgery and not 1 gym called me back until 3 days later. I called Black Box they answered my call that day and they helped me find a regimen that worked to manage my recovery using their VR machines. Now I deadlift 2x my own body weight. I am doing things I thought I would never again be able to do. I was willing to settle with just walking. I can rollerblading again, rock climbing, bike and am looking forward to Snowboarding this season... Black Box VR has given me my life back again. I am so greatful and beyond words to express my happiness. The staff and facility is so very professional and state of the art. If you looking for recovery or just looking to get in shape this is for you. I am now in the best shape I have been in years. Thank you to the incredible staff and all of Black Box. I am a client for life now...

Black Box Fitness has been life changing for me. A private booth that mixes HIIT with VR gaming is THE most efficient and best workout I've ever experienced. The staff is always super helpful and I enjoy every time I go. I've tried many other gym memberships, and with those, I always found myself finding excuses NOT to go. With BBVR, I LOVE going, and routine is the key to fitness. I HIGHLY recommend this for any level of fitness, as the workouts are customized to each individual person!!

I started my journey more than a year ago. What kinda of experience is this you ask? Whether you see it as a game or a fitness challenge I say is the best of both worlds. I've never been a gamer nor been consistent with my workouts until I started coming here (BBVR). For me it has the perfect balance between both, you get motivated playing the game and pushing yourself physically to be better. Let's not forget the community within, navigating through the game and your progress is easier because, there is always someone there to help you and pick you up when you're feeling like you're not good enough. If you haven't tried it, what are you waiting for? Did I ever think I would be at almost 200 sessions in, with a 142 Streak and still going strong? No, but I'm so proud. 😊

Best workout experience ever! Private Booths are sanitized very thoroughly after each members visit. Staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They have a gaming app with incentives to earn points/rewards and calendar to schedule workouts. The VR set bases your weights on every individuals strength. You must try the demo to fully experience how amazing this place is!

I am a busy white collar guy. This is perfect because it is private, engaging, and part science, part game.

My first experience was awesome!! I was definitely taken back how challenging the resistance can get. I have 8 plus years of experience lifting weights and this was one of the best pump and exercises I've ever had! I had a lot of fun while getting in a great workout!!

It is a clean and fun place. I love how they sanitize the equipment. Great concept, but it’s not for me as a regular workout. I also wish I could battle my friends or other people using black box as well.

I was absolutely blown away at how much fun it was, that I forgot how much of a cardio workout I was getting in! I felt it the next day, but it was such a good kind of sore! This definitely increased my fitness and overall stamina.

It's a fun way to get an extreme workout and battle through a well thought out game. It's fast paced and gets my heart going, something lifting in a traditional gym I usually struggle to attain as I would take my time. The game encourages speed and effort.

The experience is mind blowing and the results I'm showing in only 2 weeks time motivates me like I never have been motivated before to go to the gym and go back to the gym day after day

I signed up to go to Black Box Vr 15 days ago immediately canceled my other gym membership after just two days in the box. It is a full body, HIIT, 30 minute workout that turns into a game and makes working out fun! Best in Boise, hands down.
I've literally caught the bug and have been in there reiligisouly as teh game play is tons of fun and the pump you get after the workout is the best, no where else I can get that feeling after 30 mins of working out.
The staff is also super friendly and nice. From the guys in the morning, JB and Gabe, to Amber and Jazmine later in the day. Thank you for making me feel welcome and looking forward to 2020 with you!

Such a great place to get a workout in. Turned me into a morning person! I love getting up, grabbing a coffee and making my way over to BBVR. I’ve been consistently going since they’ve opened and I’ve canceled my other gym membership. It’s super worth it.

My first experience in VR was incredible!! I was blown away by the experience itself but more impressed by the staff. I was helped by JB, talk about going the extra mile; JB was very professional and extremely attentive to detail. He is very passionate and driven to provide the best experience possible. I would recommend Black Box VR Gym!

I signed up for trial at Black Box and it was such a fun experience!!! You won't want to cancel it after you start! A guy named JB helped get me signed up and showed me how to use the VR system. The customer service couldn't have been better. He was energetic, fun and patient with me as I figured it out. 10/10 recommend if you like gaming and want to stay in shape during the winter months!

As a “conventional” lifter I struggle to find the motivation to do the proper amount of cardio, or even HIT. Black box was a great compromise, with the VR aspect the workout was enjoyable and left me wanting to go for longer. Definitely would recommend for anyone trying to switch things up! Plus the staff was very friendly, with Jazmin helping me out every step of the way getting the hang of it was a breeze.

I tried Black Box VR for the first time a few weeks ago in downtown Boise. JB Bridgman showed my husband and I around. He was so enthusiastic and helpful throughout the whole process. I got all twisted up in the cords mid way through my workout and he was there to help before I even had the chance to ask. I would definitely go back! Highly recommend Boise Black Box VR!

VR mixed with a workout has been a great motivator for me. I am about 20 sessions in and am already seeing results. It's nice to roll out of bed in the morning and be excited to go to the gym.
