Probably the worst gym I've ever been to. I went to meridian n McMillan and chinden locations for several years. They were ok. Nothing great but decent I guess. State st is bad. Cables are way outdated, serious lack of equipment and everything is outdated. If meridian costs $35 this location should be $20.
Only allowing guests during staffed hours is a big detractor. Also, the facility at this location is poorly ventilated so they leave the emergency exit door open during the day. This completely defeats the purpose of having controlled access to the location and the emergency exit also happens to be located immediately next to the lockers which are not located inside a restroom.
The equipment is mostly new and in decent repair. I have not seen anything broken yet, although there appear to be many reviews stating equipment goes down for long periods of time.
During peak hours there isn’t much room, only a few squat racks available and the floor isn’t very large.
All in all, it’s a pretty middle of the road gym. I am a member solely out of location convenience, though I am tempted to go back to making a 20min bike commute to and from Axiom in East Boise again, as the lack of physical security at this gym and its proximity to the center of the homeless population in Boise is a significant detractor.

When equipment breaks, it’s basically broken for good with an “out of order” sign on it. They have a $40 annual “maintenance” fee in addition to the monthly fee, it’s CLEARLY not going to keeping the equipment in good shape, so where’s it going?
I just walked into the State street location and I asked the gentleman who helped me, the prices for membership. He was not kind, like why would I ask that question. He gave me a sour look. I asked if I could look around and he said, sure if you want. He didn't even offer me a tour of the facility. I looked around and left. Was not a good feeling.
I’ve been enjoying working out here. They’ve really been proactive about keeping the place clean during the covid pandemic and have made rags and cleaner readily available to that patrons can do their part. Lots of hand sanitizer. I like that it’s open 24/7. If it had rubber plates and deadlift platforms I would give it five stars.
The 24/hr access accompanied with clean restrooms, equipment, fresh towels for wiping down equipment, along with an accountable staff, makes this place a wonderful gym to loose weight, or just stay in shape. This gym has a cost effective model for the average person to afford. That being said, it is one of the best gyms in town minus a pool or spa area.
Great gym. No complaints. It's not the biggest and baddest, but for only $15 a month, you can't really complain. It has all of the equipment I need for my workouts. (Which is fairly basic to be honest. Take that for what you want.) It's clean, and the staff is friendly. Go check it out!
