The Armory is an incredible gym that truly feels like a community. You're constantly surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed and who are always there to cheer you on as you work toward your goals. The coaches are not only supportive but also bring great energy and a positive vibe every time they walk in:) The Armory offers so many classes that are well structured, fun, and challenging!

This place has trainers that are amazing. One of the trainer as well as the owner is so fun to train with and is willing to work with your schedule. He pushes you as well as educates you on form, your individual performance and just has fun doing the workouts with you. The group classes or incuraging and the atmosphere really gets you pumped up.

I became paralyzed 3 years ago. Working out is a key part of my recovery. Jared is the best personal trainer that meets you where you’re at but pushes you to get the results you want! The gym is very clean and equipment is in working order!

Jared's gym is awesome! I am a novice in the weight room and have been weight training with Jared for a couple months. He is extremely knowledgeable and a great coach. I've seen improvement quickly and am the strongest I've ever been at 30 years old. Sign up for one-on-one coaching if you want to get strong!

I highly recommend!! This has been such a benefit and upgrade in my life. After college and getting married, I lost some motivation with working out and just coasted through different workout classes. Getting involved with Jared and his workout plans has me motivated and excited to workout again. Jared was able to build workouts specifically for me that actually has me looking forward to each morning workout and challenging me. If you want to change your fitness journey for the better, this is the place to be!

Fantastic gym to lift or just exercise at. Plenty of equipment to do whatever lift you want. Coaches are very motivating and assist with questions and are patient with newer or experienced lifters to offer advice to. Best gym in the valley in my opinion.

Sticking to a consistent fitness routine is easier when it’s enjoyable and going to the Armory is always something I look forward to. The Armory provides an intimate, friendly atmosphere while also having space to spread out and offering a wide variety of equipment. Shaira and Jared have been knowledgeable trainers and are always supportive and celebratory of clients victories. I recommend The Armory as a supportive community to join if you’re interested in achieving fitness goals and surround yourself with quality people while you’re at it!

I really like this class. I have Achilles problems and ankle range of motion issues. He modifies exercises for me so I can do each exercise pain free and in a safe range of motion. He’s very professional, yet fun and makes class easy to show up to. I’d definitely recommend this class to anybody. It’s a great way to start your day!

I have been working out at the gym for about 3 months. If you want a gym that feels like home, this ones it! Its cozy, and offers everything you need to meet your goals! I train with Anna Thomas. She is an amazing trainer! She listens to your needs and wants and then checks on you throughout the week. She makes each client her priority.
Seriously join the armory guys!!!

There’s something special going on at this gym. Very rarely have I have looked forward to going to work out. But Armory changed that. I’ve never belonged to a gym that has such a good sense of camaraderie. The message and concept Jarred pushes is top notch. I really can’t speak more highly of this gym. (Plus I’m not far anymore)

What separates Armory from any other gym I’ve trained at in the past, is the culture and the people.

The coaches have all the knowledge and experience to help you achieve your fitness goals, but more importantly they know how to make it fun.
The class environment makes you a part of a team that cares about your success and wants to see you win.

This is a great gym which offers classes and open gym. It's small enough that during open gym you are likely to have the gym to yourself but big enough that they have all the equipment you'll need for a solid workout. Jared is a good dude, he genuinely wants you to progress in whatever your goals are. If you are into powerlifting they have plenty there for you as well. I'm just a dad trying not to get fat.

The Armory is the first small gym I’ve ever been apart of. I’ve been in and out of gyms my entire adult life, working online with a few different trainers.
I have to say, each trainer/gym has served it’s purpose for that season, but I’ve never experienced anything like Shaira or The Armory.
First of all, working in person in semi private training has been life changing in the gym. I felt confident with basic gym knowledge, but having Shaira there to perfect form and give me advice on small adjustments has made such a difference in my performance.
Second, semi private means I’ve gained the best workout buddy. It’s not big like a class, but it’s a friend, sometimes two, that you walk the journey with. It makes it fun and exciting but not overwhelming or intimidating.
Third, Jared runs a wonderful gym. The atmosphere is elite. The community is something I never would’ve imagined I’d experience with a gym. In fact I never thought I could even write a review about a gym this long hahaha.
All of this to say, if you don’t know what to do, where or how to start, The Armory is the perfect place for you. If you need someone to break it down and walk you through every step, The Armory is the perfect place for you. If you’re already a strong athlete and just want the community support, The Armory is the place for you.
I promise, you won’t regret it.

Armory is great! Jared, Anna, and the other coaches are fantastic, and the community is really welcoming and helpful. As someone pretty new to fitness in general, their guidance has been invaluable. They've found a great balance between meeting you where you're at, and pushing you further. Highly recommend!

The Armory is a great gym and Shaira is an awesome coach who took me from having 0 confidence in a gym to truly enjoying strength training and feeling great!

Shaira’s semi-private classes are a wonderful option for people like me who don’t feel comfortable yet with a standard gym or big group classes. She clearly instructs equipment use, proper form, gives modifications if needed and teaches how to increase effectiveness while training.

Overall: I have spent 3 months attending Shaira’s classes 3x a week and have many positive physical, mental and health changes in my life!! I highly recommend Shaira and the Armory for anyone looking for the next steps in your health/fitness journey!!

I've been going to Armory since July and it's the best small personal gym I've ever been to! Between the community, workouts and overall knowledge nothing has fallen short of expectations.
Regardless of where you are in your fitness journey Armory will be more than happy to have you!!
Thank you Jared and the team!

Was in Kalispell for a family vacation and I always like to check out local gyms to workout in when I travel.

Armory was fantastic. The gym itself is great and has everything you need, and has so much cool character.

The owner, Jared, was incredibly welcoming and helpful and from the get-go made me feel like a member of the community they’ve built there.

Such a cool spot. If I’m ever in town again this will be my go to spot.

Came to Armory to find a community focused on building strength and refining skills/technique, not just a "grip, rip, and pray" for the best mentality. Found what I was looking for to challenge myself to continue to strive towards those goals. Working with Jared in PT sessions one-on-one helps with the refinement of those skills and even reprogramming of some of my poorly developed habits. There is no doubt that Jared loves what he does, loves seeing folks reach and exceed their goals, and genuinely has the right mindset as a coach!!

Jared is amazing, I couldn’t recommend a gym more. He really cares about his clients and always is very encouraging. Armory is such a lovely community and I always leave feeling accomplished. Everyone who attends is so amazing, and we are never short of moral support!! It doesn’t matter what skill level you are, Jared can accommodate everyone!
Shaira is also a great coach too! You can tell they both really enjoy what they do, and it is inspiring! I truly love this place and these people.

When I wanted to step up my training, I joined Armory and started working with Jared. I just started working out this year and was nervous to try something more challenging than I’m used to, but it’s the best decision I’ve ever made! He is knowledgeable, patient, and pushes me right to where I need to be.

I have seen positive changes in my endurance levels, body composition, strength, energy, and state of mind. I continue to improve each week and push myself harder than I ever have before.

My fellow gym mates are supportive, kind, and always cheering me on when I need it - so I never feel out of place for lack of experience. (I’m in a semi-private training group & if you’re reading this thank you for being so awesome!) The workouts are always changing so you don’t know what you’re going to get when you walk in, but that’s what I love about it.

To sum it up, if you want to push yourself to be the best version of yourself, surrounded by others doing the same, then this is the gym for you. Thanks Jared!!!

Don’t miss your chance to try this new 💎 gym out!

Jared Brenden’s new gym here in Kalispell, MT: Armory 🦌 Athletic Club is just the right size for structured group training, tailored one-on-one personal sessions, and plenty of access to free weights! Armory has available cardio machines and so many other tools you don’t have to fight to wait for equipment to get exactly what you need done for the day.

I thought at first 🦌AAC may only just be a CrossFit or Powerlifting gym…The more time I spend in there, I’ve come to realize anyone can make the space whatever they need it to be for a solid workout!

Jared is very compassionate and approachable. He once had planned a WOD that I thought had one of the most impossible challenges-single arm stability cross body rows! I failed a few times trying them at first, but with continued practice, I can now pull a 30lb DB with ease 🥹🥳💪🏼.

Jared’s approach in his gym has been so different than previous coaches and trainers I’ve had in the past. He provides that needed motivation and encouragement I can vibe with. 😎 His energy is electric and he always makes sure everyone is having their best day, first thing when his members walk in the garage door! ⚡️⚡️It’s all about the community that’s being built here ❤️💪🏼.

Jared cares and never forgets to model and demo his performance techniques for each WOD. I love this about Jared Brenden’s dedication to share his wealth of knowledge and experience because I can come in and already expect to understand and follow his lead!

💯 % I cannot express how much I have appreciated his feedback in such a short time period. 🙏🏻✝️ THANK YOU!! I look forward to what is to come on my own powerlifting journey while working with Jared at Armory 🦌 Athletic Club!!

I have been training on and off with Ali for a little over 2 years now. She is amazing to work with (workouts and macros). She gets to know you and your goals, she really understands what you can do and when to push you and when you are at your max. I started back up with her in April and that's when I started working out at Armory and it has been great. I love that's it's a smaller gym,. Everyone I've met, from the owner, Jared, to others working out there have been so nice and friendly. If you are looking for somewhere to workout and have a great supportive community, for sure check out Armory Athletic Club.

Armory Athletic Club is just the type of gym I’ve been searching for. As a busy mama of 3, I love that there are several different membership options available that span everything from open gym, group classes or smaller more intimate coaching. To be honest, as a runner, I don’t always hit the weights like I should and I get nervous trying to figure it out on my own. It can be intimidating and I know I’m not alone in that sentiment. But Jared is the absolute best! Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is so kind and makes you feel right at home. He is extremely motivating, challenges me, and to top it off checks in and remembers important things going on in our lives. It’s the little things like that, that are the big things and has made me a dedicated Armorer and proud of it! 💪🏼👊🏼

Armory athletics has the size of a classic gold gym era weight room with all the modern weights and machines. The environment is nothing less than phenomenal, the way Jared runs his gym forces you out of you comfort zone by kicking your butt and making you communicate with all the other people there. Truly making the work out experience fun, and having others there with the same goal really pushes you more. Armory really knows what it’s doing and is giving you that fun lifting with the boys/girls in a garage gym playing music and having a great time while getting the best pump of your life !

I have been searching for a place to begin working out again after quite a long break from anything fitness related, and Im so glad I ran into this awesome gym! Jared and the rest of the team there is so positive and supportive, and they are excited to help you accomplish any goals you have. The environment in the gym itself is the biggest win for me though... it's fun, but super challenging at the same time, and I really like the other people that work out there too!

Jared is a great, supportive coach and he's founded and developed a wonderful gym and community for people who might be new (or are regulars) to strength training or working out. The atmosphere is inviting and warm, so if you're someone who might feel shy about getting into exercise or working out with others, this is a great place to be. If group classes aren't your thing, he also offers private sessions as well and is a motivating and encouraging coach to learn from. Highly recommend joining!

Jared is incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, patient, and kind. I never feel embarrassed or inadequate during training. Jared takes the time to listen to my concerns, gives me constructive feedback, and helps me work towards my goals.

The atmosphere in the group class is fantastic... I am NOT a morning person, so I was skeptical about those 6 a.m. sessions at first, but everyone is so inviting and dedicated, which makes things a lot easier.

I look forward to continuing my training with Jared and am excited to reach my fitness goals.

I’ve worked with Jared before as a client. My training sessions have always left me feeling powerful, challenged, and encouraged. Jared always finds new fun ways to push me to my limits and his passion training is very obvious.

He goes above and beyond, providing workout plans and meal plans for his clients, not to mention he is just an all around great guy.

This gym is a must for me, I have never found anyone that lives up to Jared’s level of commitment and understanding!

Highly recommend
