Main equipment area

My boyfriend and I are visiting Boise from out of state and we wanted to check out the gyms while we were here. We're so glad we found Jack City Fitness!! They have an exceptionally clean and organized facility as well as pretty much any machine/weight/accessory you could hope for. Preston at the front desk was super helpful and friendly. He shared Jack City's mission as well as showed us around and told us a bit about the fun things this gym has to offer. I was really impressed by how much this gym and staff seems to truly care about their clients! Bonus points to Jack City Fitness for having a children's area and amenities in the women's restroom! It just shows how they go above and beyond.

It's good to have a sense of humor!

Scott is a fantastic trainer and instructor. He kicked off the class by asking us our goals and…read moreended up personalizing the class for each of us. He taught us the science behind every move and was very optimistic and gave us motivation throughout the whole class. The space was beautifully designed! Can't recommend enough.

After a fairly active and fit young adulthood including college era athletics, I had been in a long decline and decided to do something about it. I had been a massage client of his for a couple of years, and he often talked about his ideas about fitness training during sessions. I have been a computer geek since the early 80s, and there was something I recognized in the way he talked about anatomy, diet and training. He really nerded out on it. I'd never worked with a personal trainer before, but if I was going to start I wanted it to be someone like Scott who was smart, scientific minded and flat out obsessed with it. I was also attracted to his body-weight training approach. Being a weight lifting gym rat was never my thing, and I had always preferred body-weight style training. The fact that he did circus-type training as well was intriguing (handstands are no-joke crazy hard!). Anyhow. He's the real deal. Each session was always something different. He constantly was adapting the routines to fit my current needs (maybe I had a bit of an injury to work around, etc). We used Dexafit scans to track progress objectively. I honestly doubt there's any better trainer in the City.

This is by far the best gym I've experienced, and I say that as a personal trainer with 15 years in…read morethe industry. I know what makes a gym great, and this place delivers large open space, quality equipment, and an amazing community of trainers, staff, and members. Carrie, one of the personal trainers, truly stands out. She even called me on my birthday to wish me a happy birthday and offered a free session, which speaks volumes about the level of care here. She's knowledgeable, professional, and uses proper technique! I highly recommend her. I also want to recognize Jake and the manager, Bret, for their integrity and outstanding customer service. If you're serious about your fitness and want a gym that genuinely cares, this is the place to be.

The pool area at this gym has been increasingly disappointing. The pool filtration system is…read moreconstantly failing, and the make-shift temporary external filter they use leaves the water gross & cloudy at best. The jacuzzi is often lukewarm instead of hot, & is in desperate need of resurfacing. The womens steam room is honestly disgusting -- visible slime buildup has remained on the floors and walls in the same spots for months, and the odor is terrible. When concerns or questions have been brought up to management, it is meet with disregard or sales-tactic excuses, & I am told these are all "normal". Very disingenuous response from management. The basic maintenance and sanitation of the facility are flat out ignored. The gym itself has a lot of potential. Its a shame that the pool/locker room facilities reflects a complete lack of care and pride in what could otherwise a nice location to enjoy.

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. The gym is always clean, people are welcoming, there is plenty of equipment and it makes it easy to get an early workout done effectively and efficiently. I highly recommend Rachel and Volition Fitness!

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.

His first initial consult isn't just "oh wat are ur goals ..how many times a week u normally workout or wanna workout" no, it's in depth of ..wat do u normally eat ..wats ur typical day outside of working out ...do u understand wat xyz workouts do to/for u ..or are u doing it just because u saw it on instagram?? He gives u the WHY in things & WHY he has workouts & daily calorie intake tailored to YOU .. not the same one as all ur bros have ..

Me and my three girlfriends were staying at the hotel for the weekend coming from out of state, and…read morewe chose the hotel partly because of the attached spa. It was difficult to schedule four services at the same time, but they were able to accommodate a facial and massage at the same time, and then two more massages right after. We thought our services were fine; my girlfriend had a prenatal massage and said her therapist talked the whole time which she thought was distracting, but I had the same therapist right after and we didn't chat at all. I know therapists usually go off the energy of the client that they're working with, so I think she was probably being polite and the therapist might have considered it being open for more conversation. Anyway, like I said, we did enjoy our services. We were hoping for a group discount, but instead they treated us each to a glass of wine, which we appreciated. We didn't use any of the gym or pool facilities, nor the locker room. The gym equipment seemed fine. There were quite a few people in the gym. We didn't see anyone using the pool, but there were people using the hot tub, sauna, and steam room. I would say that clientele leans more male, and the pool/hot tub/sauna/steam room are co-ed, so take that into consideration if you visit.

I wanted to an update after another 6 months of membership. I've been a member here off and on for…read moreyears. A few general comments: - The smaller size and location of the gym are positives in my view. If you need to drive and park, though, it's rough. They have parking through the hotel, but it's time limited and the garage gets full and unusable if there are lots of hotel guests or events. - The locker rooms are tiny, barely kept up (broken hooks, and doors, towels strewn about), showers are sort of just a mess (it's one big open space mostly). Also, on the mens restroom, the urinal continues to almost flood daily as it's been kind of clogged forever. You can use it, but don't flush it.. - Cardio machines are ok -- getting on the older side but work well usually Some frustrations continue to include: - They lease out the pool to external swim lessons, so there are large swaths of the day where the pool is basically unusable and kids are running around, screaming, parents are everywhere -- it's a mes - It's also the hotel pool and gym, so between that, swim lessons and normal members, it's a dirty pool if we are being honest. I used to swim here, but I've run into so many gross hairs and "things" underwater that I just can't do it anymore. - It feels like ownership has gotten a little excited post pandemic and membership growth has REALLY taken off the last few months. It's really noticeable and at peak times (4pm-7pm) it's almost impossible to get a weight workout in without massive frustrations. There's simply no space. There's one single real squat rack (the other is a smith machine type thing), a couple benches, one normal bench press ... you'll end up nearly bumping into people just trying to pick up dumbbells. - There also seem to be some third party kettle bell trainers running private training in the gym, which further takes up space and seems to always ALSO be at peak times. - During peak times -- FORGET about trying to even get changed in the locker room. It becomes like trying to change in an aircraft lavatory. - I don't know if they plan to cap memberships, but I worry they won't (like all gyms, they just love the money coming in) ... and it's now teetering on not being a usable gym option just because it's so uniquely small in terms of Sq/Ft. It just doesn't handle the extra people well. - For now I continue to go and mostly enjoy it but only because I have schedule flexibility. If I were forced to only go at after work times, it'd be a tough sell honestly. 4/5 for now -- but it's getting too crowded really quickly
