As soon as I walked in, I could feel a negative vibe. Nobody talks to each other. Where I come…read morefrom, the gym is like a party. This place was a morgue. The front desk staff were very nice, but the clientele felt like the inmates at Leavenworth prison. Particularly one short, overly tattooed, white runt with spiky hair, about 40, wearing wireless earbuds so he can't hear all the negative things people are saying about him, who sits on machines for 20 minutes texting and not allowing anybody else to use them. I asked if I could work in and he said he had one more set. Then he started texting like a 15-year-old girl for another five minutes. I finally said something to him and he acted like I was the one being the jerk. What a tiny, sad life he must have, always trying to prove he's "tough", even to people that are friendly to him. Probably got bullied in elementary school and has been taking it out on the world ever since. Then I tried to use the other lap pull down machine, and the second guy using that one gave him an attitude about working in on it too, even though I asked him in a very friendly way. The first guy got up and walked away from the machine so I finally got to use the one I wanted to use in the first place, but then he came back and said he was still using it. This is about 10 minutes after I asked him if I could work in. We got into a ridiculous discussion until I finally had enough and told him he could have the machine if it was that important to him and that he clearly needed the little victory more than I did. I have two black belts and could've mopped the floor with him, but I just wanted to finish my workout. I walked away and used a different machine and observed as he and some other guys joked and laughed about it, trying to regain whatever actual pride he has, I suppose. And it suddenly dawned on me that the regular members at this gym are purposely harassing new people because the gym is probably overcrowded and they want to intimidate people so they won't come back. This should be a great concern to the manager because he's going to lose a lot of business running a gym full of jerks. They seem to have created their own little mafia, except without the actual deadliness. I would suggest hiring somebody that doesn't use the gym to pose as a new member and try to work in with some of the muscleheads in there to see if this is a strategy of theirs. When I was leaving, I complained to the front desk, but they didn't even offer to take a report or show any interest. They were very nice, but the right thing to do would've been to ask me to point this clown out to her so that she could know who the troublemaker of the Jim were for future reference. If that was my gym and there were short man complex afflicted butt flaps like him treating classy members like that, I would cancel their memberships. This gym is way out of my way. I was only there because I had some business in Nampa that day so I won't be back. If I do happen to need to use the gym again, let it be known that Shorty has used up his one free pass.

The 1-star review is due to a wild safety incident and how Mecca handled it. I started a membership…read moreand was there for only 2 months before they let some stranger without a membership into the gym who physically broke into my locker, stole my wallet, and immediately went on a shopping spree with all my credit cards. I called the police who came and I filed a report. During that process and my back-and-forth with various staff I mentioned that of course I would like to cancel and expect given the extreme circumstance that the cancellation fee would be waved. I was quickly assured that would not be a problem. 6 months go by and I don't hear a word from Mecca until I get a nasty email telling me I owe them over $300 in unpaid membership fees. Shocked, I call them up to discuss. Whoever I talked to told me to email the manager. Manager didn't reply back to me but the billing person did and basically explained that they could care less if my wallet is stolen and since I did not follow some specific sign they claim was posted somewhere that in order to cancel you have to *email* the manager (I guess talking to him or the people reporting directly to him is not enough), they would not consider the verbal agreement at the time valid. Even though I didn't lay foot in the gym since, even though their lack of security (not checking people's membership status during the day) lead to my wallet getting stolen, even though they silently went along for 6 months without communication making it seem settled, they have sent this made-up "bill" to a collections agency. Haven't dealt with a business so vile and greedy before in my life. As for the gym itself, incredibly overrated. You are basically paying double what you should to deal with an overcrowded gym with frequently broken machines and which is a bit filthy at times. Take your money elsewhere!

Within about 8 months of training with him, I've gotten many compliments on my booty. My Asian mom is constantly telling me my glutes are too big. ALSO, I went from hardly being able to squat 135 to squatting over 225 lbs! Through Chris, I also learned to be comfortable in my changing body and to live a lifestyle that isn't just cutting and bulking constantly, but a lifestyle that is more sustainable. To top it off, he gives decent life advice when needed. When I was ready to end our training, he encouraged it. He trained me to be able to make my own programs and do things on my own, not depend on a trainer forever. I'd recommend anyone to train with this guy.

Shapes is an all women's gym with a brand new location in Meridian ID. I signed up with a group of girlfriends last week and have been thanking myself ever since. Shapes has the kindest employees, trainers & management and every single employee who I've interacted with has been super warm, welcoming and engaged with the members who come in. They're so anxious to help and support women and you can tel they genuinely love what they do! I've tried group classes with Cheryl, Marissa and April and all 3 have been phenomenal and upbeat with a contagious, positive approach to leading group classes with ages, bodies and abilities of all types. I've appreciated that all 3 of these teachers have shared modifications for allowing guests to go at either an easier or harder pace, depending on their varying needs. My favorite part of the group classes has been that the workout room has positive affirmations and mantras posted on the walls that are so encouraging and lifting. Who doesn't need to be reminded of their worth as they work hard, making time for themselves! The price is unbeatable for what they offer - gym equipment to run, lift & bike, an infrared sauna, a stocked locker room with showers and essentials, full access to all group classes with a variety of classes and times starting early in the morning and often even having night time classes offered too! So glad I signed up, I've been loving this new gym. No contracts, amazing price - so sign up and give it a shot, cancel if it doesn't work for you. Thanks Shapes for providing women with a supportive place to move, become and enjoy

Gym is not crowded, each time I was there , there might have only been 2-3 other people max. Service is friendly and accommodating. We got a weekend pass as out of state visitors.

Make sure to test with door locked to avoid possible subsequent issues 2) bathroom stall was out of toilet paper, so hopefully some more can be stocked up. Overall, would definitely return to visit the facility if I'm back in the area. Keep up the great work.

Boise is my hometown and I come back here to visit every year, but I spend so much time jumping between gym looking for the equipment I need depending on what I'm training that day. The moment I walked in and saw the equipment they had to offer, I knew I was home. They have everything you need to take a true holistic approach to fitness. The moment I walked in I was greeted by the welcoming staff and shown around. Unlike most places I've been around here where the front desk employee kinda looks at you weird like they're wondering why you're bothering them with your presence. All in all, Jack City is an uplifting environment with a welcoming community and unparalleled fitness resources that makes me miss it and wish I had a place like this to train at when I'm gone. And plus, they're one of the only place I've ever seen with kettlebells that go over 50 pounds. Thank you for having me, JFC

Before working with a coach, I had done a lot of group classes and worked out independently. However, working 1:1 with someone who is super knowledgeable and encouraging has been a game changer in my consistency and motivation. Rachel is a badass powerlifter and kind human so she makes twice weekly workouts, dare I say, enjoyable! I love the flexibility that Volition gives to work with a trainer but also to workout independently. Rachel's programming for these independent days is clear and makes it easy stick to my goals. This has helped me to get comfortable training on my own.

I highly recommend Rachel and Volition Fitness!

It's now Sept 2016, 3 years later, I was a Groupon whore, always looking for a good deal, Crossfit2C ad appeared like countless of other times, this time I said "What do I have to lose, let's try it". Realize I had no expectations other than to make a fool of myself as a gym misfit. I am a person who researches before I decide on something, I signed up at a wimp, with no clue of what it all entailed, I may have discouraged myself if I had. 1. To my surprise the first weeks is all 1-ON-1 with a certified trainer, learning fundamentals, focusing on stretching, warming up, and new movements. I didn't feel overwhelming awkward and alone. What a sigh of relief! 2. I've never seen a gym where strangers are encouraging and cheering you to finish a workout and/or accomplish a personal achievement. An atmosphere that is conducive to growing and having fun, they call it a "Crossfit community". You feel a sense of commitment to your newly found Crossfit family. The best of part of my experience, is the new friendships I've never had before with other females, who share similar interests like running races, hiking and hanging out for coffee/tea dates. 3. Last, but not least, this is a kid and pet friendly environment. Folks bring their well-behaved pets to sit and watch. No such thing at traditional gyms. I've been a member at this box for 2 1/2 years, there has been positive recent changes, to name one, promotional activities inside and outside the gym. Turns out all that apprehension and intimidation was for nothing, everything is scaled to YOUR level. You will find folks of all backgrounds and skill levels in that gym. Where can you share the same sweat, blood, and tears? At a Crossfit box named Crossfit 2C! I hope my story will encourage you to come check it out.

I got fed up with constantly fluctuating and binge eating, I gave Joanne a visit after doing some research & it's been the most gratifying experience ever! She is knowledgeable about nutrition & fitness! Her ability to teach is very special, I don't always grasp concepts easy or process information quickly but Joanne was able to deliver all of the information I would need to not only reach but sustain my weight loss goals. Most people have all these crazy theories about what it takes to lose fat and build muscle but Joanne has factual information on the physiology & anatomy of the body. She is brilliant and somehow simplifies such complex information. Due to my results, all of my peers come to me now for ways to lose weight lol! I refer them all to her, she gave me the attention and the time I needed to get what I came for. It's not about business for her it's about her clients and what we take away from our experience at the Shrink Shop. Since meeting her I've competed in two NPC fitness competitions! She's amazing, don't hesitate or waste any time, she books up fast and the only feeling you'll have after seeing her is "where has she been all my life?!"
