This gym is INCREDIBLE. John definitely knows his stuff when it comes to equipment. So many cult bodybuilding classic pieces of equipment all in one space. And each machine is in mint condition. Refinery is probably one of the best outfitted gyms in the country.

It doesn’t get better than this gym! Super clean and every aspect is very thought out and well done. So many machine options for each muscle group that also fit small females which is a huge bonus. Big fan!!

The Refinery is currently the best gym I have been to all across the world! The equipment selection is like something out of a fantasy football game, only with gym equipment. John the owner has sourced the best of the best from current times to up to 3 decades ago. The layout of the gym is carefully planned to fit maximum value under its roof, the members are definitely curated or selected by intelligent design and obviously the equipment selection and condition are second to none. If you value quality, or even remotely want to experience what equipment the best of the best would be proud to train on then you must get some sessions done here. It's not just a gym, it's a living, breathing, muscular artistic masterpiece!

I've known of John in the gym equipment world for quite sometime. His dedication to finding the best equipment ever made is at the very top of gym owners I've seen throughout the country. I have watched his commitment to that over the years and have been thoroughly impressed.
This gym that he and Jess have built is nothing short of spectacular. Hand picked equipment that has been tested by them while also understanding their member base is what every gym goer hopes to experience. A gym that was built out of passion, love and care for each member to have full access to everything you could want. And even access to equipment you had no idea existed.
The gym is extremely clean and well taken care of. If I lived in this area, this would be my full time gym. It is everything you want in a gym membership and they constantly evaluate how to make it better. Really well done!! A destination gym.

I joined The Refinery Gym back in March after leaving EOS, which had become overcrowded and filled with broken equipment that sat unfixed for months. To put it simply, you can’t beat The Refinery.
I usually train in the evenings and often interact with John, who is professional, driven, and consistently makes sure everyone upholds the gym’s rules and standards. You’ll usually see him cleaning, attending to equipment, or interacting with members, which sets the tone for the whole gym. Some nights are busier than others, but that comes with growth and the atmosphere always stays focused. You’ll spot a few pros working out here, but they’re some of the friendliest people you’ll meet. Most of us are just here to put in the work.
The equipment is top tier, with no cheap substitutes and some pieces are even custom made. The longest I’ve ever seen something out of service is a day or two at most, usually just the time it takes for a replacement part to arrive. When equipment does go down, the owners move quickly to get it back in service.
The Refinery blends old-school grit with modern gym culture, creating a space that’s both hardcore and welcoming. It’s truly an iron paradise, with just enough of that raw, prison-yard edge to keep it authentic.

Probably the best gym I’ve ever been to. They have (literally) tons of equipment, including many machines I’d never heard of before, and many machines that hit muscle groups from angles I didn’t know were possible. They have equipment that accommodates my extremely long legs, which usually makes certain lifts a struggle at other gyms. As an athlete, I’m very happy this gym exists because I don’t know how I’d be able to get such a comprehensive workout anywhere else.

Only went for a day pass but very nice gym. Lots of different routes of equipment. Staff was very welcoming and helpful.
Edit: went back and the owner was very rude. Kicked out for using the posing room for an hour. No posted policies or warnings. Just a rude tone and approach. Could have been handled a lot better.

Absolutely love the place. There’s a lot of little things that may go unappreciated but improve the overall experience of the gym. John and his wife are very intentional with every detail of the gym from machine organization, to convenience like as simple as phone chargers, the kitchen, the rolling carts, a shower. It’s everything you could possibly think of to have a solid experience every day. Always kept clean, the upkeep and preventative maintenance on machines, the list goes on. Plus the people are great and everyone here pushes each other and is here with a purpose.

This is a wonderful gym, but the owners have succeeded most by the culture they have created. Everyone is there to exercise and support each other. I never saw anyone disrespectful to someone. I never had to tell someone I was still using a machine.

I’ve gotta say hands down this is the best gym, if not one of the best gym facilities in Utah.
Big perk/takeaways for me. This is not a regular big box gym. If you want a quick “grab and go” kinda work out any other gym can do the job for sure. However, the refinery is different. This is a premium option for someone who takes pride in their own health, and surroundings.
This facility is extremely well maintained and the quality and cleanliness speaks volumes of the pride John and his family put into the refinery.
Brand new/extremely new equipment that will never be broken for more than a day is such an important aspect. I know any machine that I use is regularly cleaned. You also know it is repaired when needed ASAP. I’ve seen John work on different machines every day because he cares!
The layout itself is amazing, and the amount of different machines you have to choose from makes the biggest difference. From having lower back issues, leg work outs have been a nightmare for me. When you have a big box gym that’s always packed and one machine you want is always broken or taken sucks! If you lift here you get to choose your favorite and odds are you’re not gonna be waiting a year to get a work out in.
The clients that come here are awesome, you can always tell everyone here is here for the same reason. To get better, and support those who are here. This isn’t just a powerlifting/bodybuilding gym setting. Everyone I’ve met here is beyond courteous and respectful. John has an elevated standard, so anyone who doesn’t care for the rules doesn’t get to be a member. Having trust and high standards in the ownership, and the people who have memberships is another huge reason I love it here.
The price tag for a membership or a day pass may seem high to a passer by, but if you take into consideration what quality you are paying for it is worth every single penny. If the price is too high for ya, it may not be the gym for you. Sometimes the best things you need to pay a premium for, understanding that this gym is run by a family and them only is one big reason they have my business. The pure care and effort they put into every aspect is why I’m always going to support.
Long story short. If you’re torn on trying this gym out, give it a try you will not regret it. Thank you John for all the work you and your family put in!

I have been to gyms all over the country and this is truly one of my favorite gyms I’ve ever been to.
The equipment selection is unmatched & the owners are dedicated to providing the best experience possible for their members.
If you are anywhere close - this gym is a must stop. And even if you aren’t close - This gym is worthy of a trip just to train here.
I’m looking forward to coming back

Worst gym owner ever.
I swung by Saturday evening looking for a quick single day workout. Most gyms have a free single day pass, but I offered to pay you $12 for my wife and I. You YELLED at me, and then LIED saying that every other gym nearby charges $18+ for a single day pass.
Since you obviously have never done market research, here are the facts. MONTHLY pass price for gyms nearby:
EOS $10
VASA $15
Planet Fitness $15
Your DAILY pass is $14????? 30 days a month...
What is so valuable that your daily price is their monthly price??
Look, I understand that when I'm asking for a lower price, being declined is possible. It's obviously your right to decline my offer. Most human beings I've met can do so kindly, though.
Coming from a fellow businessperson, you don't know how to run a business.

Got a day pass here and man do I wish I lived in south Jordan so I could have a membership here. It isn’t too busy the membership is a far price and the equipment is the best I’ve ever seen. They have every machine and on top of the the best ones. The hip thrust machine is the best I’ve ever used. And I can actually use the hack squat as a short person!

If you’re looking for the best quality and variety of equipment over low end graffiti murals and a lame color scheme throughout the gym to compensate for lower quality equipment this is the place for you! The owners of this gym take pride in the equipment they bring in, finding different variations of machines that might only be in 3 other gyms in the country if that. If you’re serious about making progress and want a more upscale private experience come join the refinery gym.

My boyfriend and I recently moved to Utah, the first thing we look for in a new area is a solid gym. I checked out a few in the area and was disappointed every-time but the day I walked into Refinery, I knew I had to sign up there.
It’s so clearly the best gym in the area. The equipment is amazing and It’s obvious how much the owners care. The energy in the gym is the absolute best, and as someone who loves bodybuilding, I feel motivated simply by the people around in this space. Very lucky to have this gym nearby!

Great gym in terms of equipment. Owners are friendly. Way too much posing going on!!!!!!! They have a room for that but it’s not enforced. Dudes dropping their shorts in the middle of the gym (trainer at said gym) to pose. People posing in the bathroom next to the sign that says don’t pose, go to the posing room. I’ve seen this nonsense in person and it is posted daily in their social media. Go see for yourself. You can’t compete with the equipment but when a gym literally has cell phone stands so you can take videos and pictures of yourself?? Appreciate hard work and peoples results but cmon ? You shouldn’t have to feel like a body builder to go workout.

I absolutely love this gym! The variety of equipment is astounding. Yes, this is a bodybuilding gym but it's also very inclusive and welcoming to beginners as well. There are plenty of coaches and trainers to work with (I personally work with Edison) if that is something you are seeking. It is a family run business and they put a lot of detail and care into running the facility. They constantly bring in new equipment and look for ways to improve their members overall experience.

Hands down best gym in Utah!! From the community to the equipment it’s all top tier. The owners take personal interest in to each individual member. You feel like you’re supporting a real American family, not some huge corporation. They are always keeping everything clean from the floor to the equipment and even the mirrors for our beloved gym selfies. The posing room has multiple different lighting settings, and they even have a lot of cool merch, plus a little self serve supplement shop too. Also good for meeting great coaches that train here including Olympian bodybuilders. You just have to come check them out. It’s a vibe.

They have some of the best equipment in the state, however the vibe and energy are lacking.
It’s sad because it has the potential to be one of the best gyms, but its just not.

I came here for the day since I don't live near Sandy! I went around 5:30 in the morning. There was plenty of equipment and room that the gym didn't feel crowded. The equipment was amazing! I couldn't believe the variety and even a basic lateral raise machine has some "special" features. There aren't a ton of basic bench press or squat racks but I had no trouble finding an open one. If I lived closer I would sign up for membership in a heartbeat!

John and Jess are super nice and are very knowledgable on the equipment. I can show up at any time and still make my whole workout without waiting in lines. Convenient access to food and break areas, and still cheaper than the “all things included” big name gyms in the area.

This is by far the best gym I have ever been to NATIONWIDE. These are just a few of the reasons:
1. It has ever piece of equipment and accessories that you can dream up. I have everything I need and things I didn’t know that I needed.
2. It is CLEAN and ORGANIZED. The owners John and Jess take great pride in this and it rubs off on the members. Everyone cleans up after themselves.
3. The posing room is incredible and completely necessary for competitors and any gym goer wanting to capture their progress.
4. The culture of the members and trainers is welcoming and friendly.
5. Lastly, the owners truly care and listen. They are receptive to feedback and ensure that their members are taken care of.
So glad that I am fortunate enough to enjoy this gym everyday.

This gym was absolutely fabulous. It was the only gym that I have encountered in my extensive history of consistent gym-going that was always clean, had all of the equipment that beginners to body building athletes could want, that others gyms did not have or have never had. The atmosphere was welcoming, focused and supportive for everyone. The owners of the gym have taken pride in making their gym a place that is above and beyond anything you can find and truly makes it a place to excel in your goals. They welcome each person on a 1-on-1 basis and want to support you on your personal journey and are there for any questions, ideas for improvement or feedback.

Traveled from California for business, but needed a place with a good squat rack for the program I’m on. Had a superb experience at this gym. Pricing is simple and up front. The facility was unexpectedly large and had a very diverse selection of quality strength training equipment. Additionally, it’s one of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever been to. There was a very basic selection of cardio equipment, but definitely enough to get the job done. This gym is perfect for those who enjoy bodybuilding, powerlifting, and basic strength training for improved quality of life. I didn’t see any part of the facility suited to CrossFit or activities needing open turf. I also did not see an area suited for Olympic lifting (if those are your things) . For my needs, it was perfect. I enjoyed the convenience that this gym

Didn’t see the pay via Venmo sign. The owner approached us mid workout and “had to make sure we knew” that he was the owner and that we didn’t pay him. A mistake was made, and we apologized for it. There is no reason to make us feel bad or tell us that you would never enter a facility without paying. Bodybuilding is such a small world, people talk, make connections and friends not the opposite. Best of luck!

Came into SLC for a quick vacation from Midland, Texas and needed a gym. Looked at many online, read reviews and decided on The Refinery. Walked in and I knew this was the spot I would spend my week for my gym therapy. $35/week for a week pass which is great especially if you go to the gym daily for an hour to two hours at a time
Also it's 24 hours, open all the time, amd the owners John (Big John) and Jessica are owners who know what athletes need in a gym setting. The quipment ranges from old school, to new school, med balls, kettlebells, plenty of bands, chains, free weights that go beyond 135, cable machines and there is a piece of equipment that is specifically for the anterior tibialis (shin muscle). The guys and women who workout here take it serious. Seems many are training for bodybuilding events and avid gym-goers. It could be intimidating for first timers but those who have been in it for years like myself (14yrs), it's exactly where you want to be, around healthy, shredded, gallon water toting, protein eating women and men. Definitely and highly recommend The Refinery as the BEST GYM IN SLC and maybe even Utah in whole.

I have been lifting on and off for years. Been to every gym in the valley and across other states, I know the feel of good equipment and a good gym for lifting.
I have multiple memberships to the very best in the valley (Butler Pro, Hardbodiez, The Training Room) because I’m all over and love ease of access no matter where I am.
My girlfriend and I signed up here and I waited to write this review. I can confidently say this place is awesome. It is my number one spot and I try to make it here every time at all possible for my workouts. It’s home base with Butler for me. The equipment is amazing.
Every machine you want, quality benches and dumbbells. John and Jess keep it very clean. And as a long timer gym goer, I notice the details - the small things the owners make available for people. Phone charging stations, liquid chalk, belts, jump ropes, an excellent selection of cable attachments, mirrors for the squat racks, great music, etc.
The owners also just took out a wall so there is a ton of space and more machines than ever. Mostly plate loading machines which are fantastic with the smoothest movements and best results, but you’ll be hard pressed to not find what you need here. There are some machines/equipment even I have not seen or not seen in a long time which is impressive. Even the shower/changing room is awesome. And the owners have more to come they’re working hard on.
Anyways, this place will obviously get busier with the good reviews that will undoubtably be coming in but the owners deserve it. Lot of pride was put into this place and it shows.
Thanks for the awesome workout spot!

When you walk into The Refinery, you instantly feel that it is different than other gyms. John and Jessica have clearly worked hard to make this a safe and friendly environment for everyone - whether you are new to your fitness journey or are a professional body builder. All of the equipment is clean and consistently cared for. There is so many unique pieces and the community is there to help if you have any questions on how to use. Love this place!

there’s not enough stars for this gym, fell in love the 1st visit to the refinery, I was looking for a gym where I can be vulnerable, ugly (not having the pressure of having to always look a certain way like at commercial gyms) and really push myself in my health journey so a month ago decided to invest in myself and got a membership here! The people, the trainers, the environment are UNMATCHED, of course the equipment is amazing, it’s a motivation in the most encouraging way without words just being there around them, they have bodybuilding pro’s that train people here and train at the gym so I was kind of nervous however they are so welcoming, no ones workout is more important then someone else’s, but really the OWNERS make this gym. Jon and Jess are so kind making this gym feel like my safe place besides my home, so happy I found the Refinery!
P.s. there’s plenty of room to walk around 😊

Looking at starting a new job in SLC county so I thought I’d scout out the gyms in the local area. If everything works out The Refinery is definitely where I’ll be doing my early morning grind.
Not only do they have a great assortment of equipment and machines, but their trainees are all dedicated and polite to newcomers. Call me crazy but I tend to judge a gym based on the variety of leg machines they have, and the Refinery has a thousand ways to torture your lower body. I’m a particular fan of their Pendelum Squat machine.
Finding a new gym that you love isn’t easy, but I think I found it at The Refinery.

Highly recommend. The gym itself and equipment is amazing. It’s open 24/7 which is very convenient but what really separates the gym is the Owner John he is always involved with the gym and always checking in on everyone. Won’t be suprised if they end up opening a few more of these

This place has a great atmosphere for training. I left the purple palace 4 months ago and I am glad I did. The people and facility are unmatched. I have a much easier time getting out of bed at 3 a.m. to workout knowing I get to workout here.

I am a Refinery Gym member and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The gym is always spotlessly clean and well-maintained, and the unique equipment they have on offer keeps my workouts interesting and challenging. The owners, John and Jess, are incredibly friendly and approachable, always going out of their way to make sure their members are happy and comfortable. They truly care about the well-being of their members and are always looking for ways to improve the gym. I highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a clean, well-equipped, and welcoming place to workout.

Fantastic gym. I’ve sincerely enjoyed coming here. There is a good amount of equipment here I haven’t found anywhere else in gyms in Utah. The owners have been nothing but amazing and helpful, and seem to really care about their members. It’s also nice to have a gym owner be passionate about their equipment instead of just having it be another cookie cutter gym. I’ve loved it.

This is a top tier space to workout.
I have been going to this gym for well over a year now. Been through the ownership change. And trust me, this gym is currently at its best.
A couple months ago, I convinced my partner to try the gym out. She was hesitant at first, wasn’t sure if the vibe was for her. She had been joking with John about not having a spin bike in the gym, and she wouldn’t get a membership until the gym had a spin bike. Two days later John brings in a brand new spin bike just so she’d join.
That gesture seriously convinced me that the owners actually cared about making their members happy. Never have I experienced that level of customer service in a gym before.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional or just looking for a new space to improve your fitness. This is the place to be.

LOVE THIS PLACE! This place opened while my wife and I were in prep for a physique competition and the timing could not have been better. We were beyond angry with the crowds, lack of equipment, broken equipment and the mess of our local Vasa. We drive more than twice the distance to come here and it is worth it! All the equipment is amazing with some unique pieces as well. John and Jess (the owners) always make us feel welcome and are incredibly kind and supportive of our fitness goals. They even put in a posing practice area for those that compete.

Best gym I’ve ever been to, hands down. Aside from the amazing equipment, everything is extremely clean and well kept. The amount of thought that went into this gym is absolutely incredible! The owners have really outdone themselves by not only providing a fun place to train, but by attracting a great community. Everyone is nothing but respectful and friendly, and we all look out for each other even when we don’t realize it. Refinery is the place to be🔥 #RefineYourself

The past is in the dirt now, but based on some of these reviews, I feel it’s necessary from a former member who perceives the change differently:
I can’t describe my relief that this gym was purchased by new owners.
While I loved the sense of community members themselves fostered from before, there was a severe lack of investment into the facilities, intense lack of passion and a general vibe of hostility from the previous owner.
Now, at this gym, I am inspired. The second I see the vibrant orange door, I become pumped. The volume of incredible equipment I have access to is amazing. I can now train knowing I am isolating the target muscle and even become very specific about the intricate anatomy. I worry drastically less about injury and feel far less insecure about expertise. Machines make it much easier to do this right and well!
Every aspect of this gym was thoughtfully constructed, even down to the pellet ice and ambiance. The owners are happy to show me how to use the world class equipment. The space is often filled with kind and highly inspirational people.
I feel safe here. I feel like I am part of something special. I am much more optimistic about my potential now.
Thank you for all you’re doing to give us an awesome place to truly train.

This gym used to be a place I called home. After new management it completely changed. You can’t walk in the gym because it’s too crammed, and you ONLY feel welcomed if you’re a professional power lifter. They shoved us in the corner /outside if we wanted to do an actual cardio workout. I got told not to use their equipment and to use the old equipment if I wanted to do a sled drag outside because they didn’t want to ruin their stuff. Felt I was bullied out of the place. They even placed a mirror and cat walk board where stretching is supposed to happen. It was either pay more money or leave. Made it impossible to stay. They act like they care but they don’t, just want your money.

Love, love, love this gym! The atmosphere here is great and they seriously have some of the best machines! The owners are geniune. I've been treated like I was their best customer everytime I come in even though I don't have a membership yet. I thought I would just come once or twice, but I keep coming back. I'm to the point where I'm just going to get a full membership because I love this place so much. Ignore the very few bad reviews and give this place a shot. Thanks Refinery!!!

As soon as John took over the gym I was ready to leave. I stayed for my wife because she wanted to give it a chance since her friends were still going here. Jess was nice. So there's a star for that. John always seemed like he cared less about you unless you had a membership with him. Started cramming machines in the gym. You could barely walk and seemed uninterested in having a conversation. After my wife's friends started leaving she decided to do the same and honestly I'm glad. 5x the price for the same concept as your local gym. No thanks.

Confused why you would take over a gym, and then ban the previous owner/ half your members trainer from attending. There was a large group of us that were informed we had to purchase a membership by October 1st to continue to train with him. Which we all were ready to do. Just to find out John banned him the following day after informing us we all needed a membership. When you take over a 15 year gym with a close knit community, you're going to receive a lot of backlash when you ban the owner. Having a few extra pieces of equipment that Vasa or EOS does not have isn't going to keep the gym alive. Your community and word of mouth will, which he has now ruined for many people. I hope he is prepared for that.... Would not and will not recommend.
