The environment is so nice--it's calm and clean when you walk in. The energy isn't nasty//aggressive//competitive. It's friendly and welcoming, but serious about fitness for everyone!

Trainer Grace has changed my life. At 72, I find myself actually excited about getting in shape. She's awesome to work with--I can see improvement each week. She works hard and really cares.

I'm no longer a member at this gym, yet they are charging me every month for a locker rental that I never signed up for. There is no way to remove credit card info from their membership site, so the only way to prevent them from charging your card is to lock or cancel and reissue it which is completely absurd.

Showed up for a free day trial run. What facilities I could access were very clean, equipment was modern, staff was very friendly and accommodating. If I move to Boise permanently, would definitely utilize this gym. Would recommend

This is a great little gym. It is clean and has a good variety of machines and free weights. The option to ride Pelotons is super cool and the classes are fun.
Just beware of their fees! I’m a medical student traveling for school, so I only need four week gym memberships. I paid for a single month and the start up fee up front. Then a month later I saw an additional charge on my credit card. When I called to ask about it, they said I was set up for month-to-month. They cancelled it but could not refund that charge because I was β€œsupposed to” pay β€œlast month’s” fees when I signed up, but the employee did not charge me that. Had I known it would end up being $150 for a single month, I would not have signed up.
Good gym, but definitely a little iffy to charge a customer for an employee’s mistake after the fact!

Outstanding performance oriented gym.
From the Justin the GM, to the team, to the members everyone is there to improve performance and glad to help you in the process.
Coming off an injury and surgery Justin has personally created a safe comeback routine that has not only rebuilt my body, but also my soul.

Fantastic environment and super helpful gym staff. They have a wide variety of gym equipment including free weights, machines, yoga balls, cardio machines etc. Located right downtown in the Zions Bank Building which makes it extremely convenient for working out before, on lunch break or after work!

The crew is awesome. The gym is super clean. I was impressed as everyone pitched in to clean up. The manager Austin had a rag in hand. Classes John and Austin teach are awesome. If you are downtown it is the best gym and a good networking spot. Say hello to Chris, Karly or Courtney at the front desk.

This place used to be great, but has gone down hill pretty fast. Ive been a member here for about a year. The initial tour that was given to me emphasized their amazing cycle room and high end cycles (now gone), the multiple workout spaces (now cut in half), the high end locker rooms with built in steam rooms (often gross and rarely working properly).

A few months ago they began advertising exciting upgrades coming to the gym. What they failed to advertise was that these upgrades would come at an increase in monthly fees. They converted a room that was previously an auxiliary gym, which we utilized often and was open to all members, into a room that they now call Pinnacle Training Studio which can be accessed for 25 extra dollars a month. So basically they cut the previous space in half, but did not cut our membership price in half, they increased it. This has lead to crowding in the main gym area and rendered some equipment basically useless because of space issues. Some equipment that was previously available to members is now locked behind that 25 dollar door.

24 hour access is very important to us as we like to exercise early in the morning. Twice in the last two months we have shown up to the gym to find locked doors.

I have tried to keep a positive attitude and let them try to adjust to the new environment, but they simply do not care about their loyal customers. All locker room talk lately has been negative with most people feeling like they are getting screwed by the company. I generally try to support local businesses, but I would encourage you to look at other gyms to spend your hard earned money with. There are plenty of other options even if management here thinks they are the premium gym downtown. Check out yelp for genuine member reviews.

This gym exceeds my expectations time after time. The dedication to having top of the line equipment and quality group training classes both impress me. Group classes have great music and work up a sweat. The level of cleanliness is better than any other gym I have attended. No complaints whatsoever!

When I was given the tour of the gym I was taken away by how well the gym was taken care of. If you enjoy a clean and respectful environment as your gym setting, then this is the place. The locker rooms are full of amenities and they are improving their free weights! Gotta love a place that takes care of the customers and improves the business. Definitely recommend!!

**Also, despite what Google says, this gym IS open 24 hours for members. Took me a while to figure that out.**

I'll preface this by saying I am a little biased because I do have a corporate membership through my work so it's only $16/month.

Having said that, I really like this gym. It's small, but there's two rooms, and enough machines that I've never seen them overly full (at least from what I've seen in weekdays in the early morning). I particularly love the wide open mat space in the second room where people can stretch or do freeform exercises. I've never done classes there but they're included with the membership.

There's plenty of lockers. Locker rooms are a tad cramped but I appreciate they have generous amounts of counters with mirrors for all us women who do our makeup before work. Showers are wonderful. Everything's always been nice and clean.

Staff are very friendly and smiling. All around, I've been very satisfied.

Can't be more proud about my home gym! It all starts with a great staff! Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping others achieve their fitness goals! I've seen plenty of amazing transformations over the years, which is definitely the proof in the pudding!

Then there's the gym itself...clean and includes all the necessary amenities (equipment/classes/locker room, etc.) to accommodate whatever fitness goals you plan to crush! ~Dallas

If you want an amazing place to workout, sold! This is it.
Great place, friendly staff, lot's of accommodations. I'm no gym savant, this is probably my 5th gym membership I've ever had. I didn't know gyms like this existed. They have mouthwash in the locker rooms! Private showers. Private latrines. Hair gel. The list goes on, it's great.
The staff is super friendly, the trainers there listen just as well as they guide you. You might think you know how to work out and what your doing. Just have a training session or go to a free class that comes with membership, you'll leave sore and informed. The wealth of knowledge they have is impressive.
I don't know everyone's name, but thank you Jennifer, Austin, Kathy, Chase, Chris, and everyone else there. A+
