I was so fortunate to have found Ryan Jones. I moved to the area in June 2021 and left behind a…read moregreat personal trainer who I thought I couldn't replace here in Idaho. I found Ryan and can't believe my luck. Ryan has it all when it comes to personal training. Ryan certainly has the training/certifications, and it shows during our sessions. He has a full understanding of human musculature and knows how to approach every workout set to maximize safety and gain the most benefit. He focuses on making sure you do everything the right way and explains why you're doing everything he shows you to do. He is really organized, keeping a detailed record of your previous sets/reps/weight to help you constantly grow and improve over time. He has a focus on weight management if you seek that, making recommendations on meal plans, use of calorie tracking apps, and just to add that helpful accountability so you can hit your health goals. He also has a massive and still growing exercise equipment inventory which I've frankly never seen before, and he always leverages the right equipment for the next step in your improvement. If you have any physical limitations, which I have a few, Ryan is always aware of them and helps you to work around them, or improve them, depending on your situation. And although I started out one-on-one, my daughter is now also attending my sessions with me, at NO ADDITIONAL COST, and he works in parallel to support both of us. Seriously, I've never been more motivated to improve, nor more stronger, than I am right now because of Ryan. Finally, he's in a new location providing a lot of room, and he's constantly adding new equipment and high value hardware which in my opinion really makes him second to none in Treasure Valley. I can offer no higher recommendation. Ryan is the first choice for personal training. Period.

I've been working out with Ryan since September 2019. When I came to him I was weak, and completely…read moretired of my body. I was so ready for a change and so I booked a consultation. I was so nervous but Ryan just joked and kept it light hearted, he's really easy to talk to and almost becomes your friend. He asked me what my goals were and he cared about what I was trying to achieve, he made a meal plan for me and he pushed me when I needed it! I've lost 25 pounds and I've gotten stronger! He's been so patient and kind in showing me how to properly Use the equipment and explains why we are doing it and how it will benefit my body! I learn something new everyday that I train with him! I really recommend him, not only is he reasonably priced but he's knowledgeable and professional! I'm excited to see what else I am capable of with the help of Ryan! He's an awesome trainer!

This is one of the greatest gyms I have gone to, far better than high school gyms. I'd personally…read morenot listen to the one other terrible review that's left on here, sure there may be a bunch of people at certain times; such as 4-5pm since people are getting off of work. Around 3pm there are quite a bunch of high school students working out (including me). No, people don't film their friends doing sets, no, nobody is barefoot. The machines aren't sticky because you get a RAG and spray to wipe them down if they are ever left with sweat. The staff members are very pleasant, and are present during the times that are displayed on the front desk. If you're all about gym etiquette and are don't like grunting then go ahead and go to planet fitness where that grunting won't be heard over the lunk alarm, jeez. Better yet, get a pair of noise cancelling headphones or earbuds. The staff members clean and vacuum the gym as well as the bathrooms daily before they leave to go home, as this is a 24-hour gym. If there's someone using the machine you need then it's as simple as asking "how many sets do you have left?" and then being patient as said person finishes their workout. Yes, you may see high school students working out in groups and waiting for their friends to do their sets before continuing theirs, just pop a question and you'll get the machine in a few minutes. No, we don't bite. The gym was recently remodeled and looks far different than it does in the displayed photos. There are many more machines than there were a few months ago. There is also an upstairs where you can do yoga and other sort of workouts. There are many options for cardio and there are usually enough machines for everyone since there are so many. There are fans all around the gym that keep it nice and cool inside, it also usually smells good due to the staff cleaning so much. This is the perfect place to improve yourself and your quality of life, go ahead and give it a shot. Pausing and cancelling memberships are also very easy as you don't sign your soul away (unlike other gyms). One recommendation I have is about the music played in the gym, it could be a little better. However, since I am very sensible I bring my own noise cancelling headphones if I want to listen to something else. Thank you for the staff for being very helpful, and thank you to the manager for being very kind.

As per the other poor review, the gym seems to cater to one demographic only. Junior high and high…read moreschool students. No matter when I go, and I've tried multiple locations at multiple times in the afternoon, evening and at night, the gym is OVER RUN by groups of teenagers. They gather in groups of 3-10 - all use their phones, crowd other members. Don't use the cleaning materials provided, walk around with no shoes like they own the place. They let the friends in the doors and don't scan in like other members. I've tried reaching out to club stuff or ownership and get no response. I cannot wait to find a different gym and highly recommend that if you want to workout on clean, accessible equipment you look elsewhere. They seem to have cut a deal with local junior high and high schools to allow access to an unlimited number of teenagers and it ruins the gym for all their other members and they don't seem to care.

The workouts are challenging and different everyday with different focuses on strength, endurance, and power. As with any workout, getting started is the hardest part, but so rewarding if you can just get started. It is my mental and physical therapy! I highly recommend it to anyone. The workouts are challenging and designed around all fitness levels from just beginning and needing to get active/in shape to those that are in fabulous shape and just want to be healthy. If there is a downside it would be a little expensive for many. If one puts it in prospective though and break it down for what one prioritizes in their life you can have a monthly membership (unlimited) for one night of going out to a nice dinner for two??

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!

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. Pro tip: register on a weekday, since weekends may not have a front desk person to assist Recommendations : 1) test out your access after registration. 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

For some time I thought following the right people on Instagram was the answer to saving tons of money on weight loss programs and fitness trainers. Turns out, I may not have wasted a ton of money but I surely wasted a ton of my time! 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?!"

The slide isn't always staffed, but when it is, it's super fun... even as a grown up :-) They have a rock wall, track for walking/running, and offer fitness classes. My mom likes doing the circuit of machines up in the weight lifting area. There's lots of cardio equipment. I usually prefer the free weights and non-circuit resistance machines for my workouts, and I've found everything I needed at this YMCA. Staff and members are all friendly, and I've never felt uncomfortable working out here. Sometimes you end up weighting for weights or machines, especially during peak times, but that's pretty much how it goes at any gym. Membership is $50/month for one person, or I believe $80/month for two, so a bit of savings. Considering everything you have access to with a membership, it's honestly not a bad deal. I have paid as much or more for gyms with way fewer amenities, let alone for a yoga or pilates studio. Definitely a good option.

I will say it is a bit pricey, but they have financial assistance for people who are needing it, and when I lost my job we paid based on how much we made so cost doesn't have to be a factor preventing you from going to an inclusive community center for all ages. The YMCA in West Boise offers a great experience for any newcomer to the gym or long time veterans who are just coming in to work out.
