In Sandy, there are two main gym options. Thrive Fitness is the smaller, more affordable, more straightforward option. It was opened by a bodybuilder/powerlifter and kept to the essentials.
I've mostly interacted with employee Becky, from my 7-day free trial, to sign up, to a session explaining machines and checking my form. I've appreciated her welcome to the gym. I also appreciate the 24/7 access for members (though I'm usually there during staffed hours).
In terms of main equipment/things to know, they have:
Three squat/deadlift racks, plus a Smith, Hack, and Pendulum machine.
They just got a hip thrust machine which is very appreciated.
Normal amount of dumbbells and a small collection of kettlebells.
A turf area.
Plenty of ellipticals, two stair climbers, and many treadmills though they do sometimes fill up.
Single-gender bathrooms with two stalls and one shower.
Parking lot. read more
