Been going for a while now and it's a smaller gym, with great equipment. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to get in shape.

After Main Street Fitness closed about a month ago I needed a new gym and Ridge Downtown was pretty much my only option for downtown gyms (there are others, but they're either too small or specialized on things I don't care about). I had heard it's something of a scene, but that's not been my experience. Overall, it's a good gym with all the basics. They're about to shut down for a few months to remodel and expand, so I'm hoping that resolves the problems they've had with locker rooms being outdated and out of service. If they just add some boxing equipment (a heavy bag, at least) I would have no complaints. I miss the sense of community that existed at Main Street Fitness and Ridge is a bit of a younger persons gym (college age and thereabouts) but I go to a gym to workout in as efficient a manner as possible, and the layout and assortment of machines and free weights is all I need. Overall, a good gym in a very good location for those in the downtown area. read more

Toooo expensive for seniors! They no longer accept silver sneakers they should have some thing for seniors who don't want racquetball courts etc and just need cardio read more

awesome gym with a wide variety of equipment including both free weights, bars, and machines that are all very nice. John was an outstanding staff member. He was extremely helpful and extremely nice. over all great experience. read more

Great location, but continue to be disappointed about the state of the cardio machines. There is always at least one machine out of order (and at such a small gym, that does not leave a lot left for us to use). I was on the elliptical yesterday and it literally broke while I was on it and I fell off. I told the attendant and I got nothing more than a mumbled "SORRY". I would hope soon that managements takes a look at their state of their machines.... just because it's the downtown/smaller location, doesn't mean it should be an afterthought. read more

The good: 1. The newly reopened facility is a HUGE improvement. It has almost doubled in size and has gone from being a juvenile with acne to a young adult with a full-time job and better skin. It's cleaner, airer and has an improved cardio experience. 2. The exercise studio is another BIG improvement over the old space as it has windows, is bright and looks out into the street. 3. More cardio machines to choose from and better, more modern treadmills. 4. More weightlifting equipment. 5. The bathroom experience is much less ghetto since they took the time to do a facelift. 6. A small cafe with coffee and healthy snack options is probably a good add on. 7. They don't blast FOX News here, as they do at the Fallon location. A real nice bonus. 8. Location still rocks. The UGLY: 1. I cannot tell you how many times I have had to breathe in chemicals while someone cleans nears me while I am working out. This continues to happen despite the fact that myself and several other people have complained about it. As of today, 4/6/13, I have now had to ask every single female staff they employ to refrain cleaning near me. I have had this issue go on EVERY time I have been at the gym in the last two weeks, meaning, it has happened 10 times, in a row. In what freaking universe it is OK to spray chemicals next to someone who is working out on a cardio machine? I don't care if the cleaning supplies are "green" or all natural, it goes against every customer service ideal, EVER. Picture having a dinner at a restaurant and having folks vacuum or clean the floor while you are eating....You can't picture it, because it DOES NOT HAPPEN! Why is it OK to vacuum or clean the gym during prime workout hours or at ANYTIME the facility welcomes paying customers? I have NEVER seen this happen at the gym on Fallon or any other gym I have been a member of. One time, when this happened the staff member stopped spraying on the machine but continued to spray and clean by putting the towel over the spray bottle. SERIOUSLY!?! WTF? 2. Not enough free weights in the weight room area. If you lift anything under 15 pounds and work out downtown, you are screwed. Almost every time I need a 12 pound pair of weights, they are gone to the studio. They have no 8 pound weights on the floor, either. Obviously, BUY MORE! Also, apparently, heavier weights are more important given they are given a shelf. Lighter weights are on the floor as, you know, smaller users, the elderly and those who are not lifting huge amounts are not as important. Again, unique to this gym and unsightly. 3. If you have equipment that breaks down and you only have two of that type of machine, fix it immediately. While it just got fixed, the Step Mill at the ridge downtown was broken for well over two weeks. 4. Everyone knows that kettlebell workouts are in and one of the most effective workout tools out there, for both men and women. I weight 125 pounds dripping wet and the smallest kettle bell they have is an 18 pounder. To be fair, they did expand the availability of these as before they did not have any until a frustrated member went out and bought a set to use at the gym (!!) But to not add 10, 12, 15 pound kettlebells? What gives? 5. Weekend hours blow. I was hoping that they would update hours to 7am on Sat/Sun instead of the 8am/12pm mix. Again, have never seen this before moving to Montana. 12pm on a Sunday for opening time? Really? The Fallon ridge opens up at 8am on Sunday, the Club on Rouse opens at 8am and so is Gold's Gym. I am not about to cancel my membership because in many ways, this gym is probably the best alternative to the others in downtown Bozeman, but I sure hope some of these issues are addressed. I have now left a vm for the general manager and messaged them via Facebook re: the cleaning issue. Let's see how they respond to it as I plan to publish their response here and on my blog. Update as of 5/1/13 - no one cleans near me and I have not seen any staff cleaning during club hours. Big improvement to my time there. All the other issues still persist. read more

Ridge Downtown - The studio at The Ridge Downtown - Gyms Near Me - Bozeman, Montana

Unfortunately, I have had a poor enough experience with the Ridge that I felt compelled to write a negative review. The ridge membership staff if unwilling to work with you in regards to canceling your membership. The facilities are nice, but considering the expensive dues and the poor treatment of customers/members, I cannot recommend the ridge to anyone. If you decide to join the ridge, plan on paying for more months than you used. That being said, their facilities are adequate. read more

Old facility but kept fairly clean. Very small but you can usually use the equipment without interruption.

Love this gym! Plenty of machines to choose from, friendly staff and knowledgeable instructors.

I am a member of Ridge Athletic and typically frequent the main location, however I went to the downtown location on Saturday 1/13/18 and was pleasantly surprised. I have never taken an Oula class before and decided to this day. The instructor's name is Blaise, she was so warm and welcoming, we had never met before so she made a point to come introduce herself to me which was great. She had so much spunk and energy that I can envision myself wanting to emulate her should I ever choose to become an instructor. She was so motivating and over-the-top excited to be there thus making the attendees feel the same. I am not sure what else she teaches, but I highly suggest taking any of her classes!!! read more

I must say I love this gym. I am a huge fan of the main ridge location but prefer the smaller gym vibe. The staff is always welcoming and friendly and helpful with any questions I have had. I do with they were open later or earlier on Sunday. read more

Good clean club. Has most equipment needed for any workout. Convenient location with good parking available.
