I come daily if I can / if I'm not too sore, but the workouts are the same across the country, no matter what location you're at that day. The trainers are just as lively, energizing and motivational across the board. They like to play more 90s music which I dig. Meridian seems much busier. More classes fill up, so I have to sign up for wait lists much more often. Luckily a lot of people drop, but sometimes it's last-last minute. Lehi gives you the option of where you want to start the workout when you check-in (treads, rowers, weight floor). Meridian does not. They usually tell you where you're assigned when you check-in. Meridian's studio has less room to do floor exercises by the rowers. You have to stagger or move away from other people to avoid running into people. I am always so thankful for the generous airflow that help keep everyone pushing forward. The workout is worth it, hands down. The facility is always clean, and the staff are friendly. I have never felt so strong and had this much endurance in my life = life-changer.

The Mecca Gym is a gem of a training facility located in a strip mall area right off the freeway in…read moreMeridian, ID. It is tucked back in such a way as to allow for back door access to the back lot for Prowler runs, farmer's walks and tire flipping. Owned by local natural bodybuilders and powerlifters, Eric and Kacee Cafferty, the locals all have a sense of ownership and familial bonding after only one visit to this gym. Go in without your headphones on and you'll see what we mean. Everyone is friendly, willing to help, coach, co-train and chat about pretty much anything. We saw a 130# gossipy female (very entertaining) trying to pr her squat with a 210# beefcake mainstay of the club. All of the equipment is top-of-the-line and the Cafferty's own several unique pieces we have not seen anywhere in the Treasure Valley. These include a Nautilus pec-deck straight from Venice Beach, a Roger's squat (if you haven't worked your ass-quads-core in this remarkable piece of equipment, a visit to The Mecca Gym is worth it just for that.) and a seal row bench. The powerlifting staples are of the best quality we've seen in the entire state and if you are trying to just work on your Big 3, this is your gym. Cardio equipment consists of a row of treadmills and a step mill. They also own a Jacob's Ladder, which is great. The step mill has no platform for a phone or iPad to watch a movie so that's disappointing. The staff is all sincerely friendly with welcome greetings, big furry smiles and surprisingly, the females don't annoy us with their friendly chatter. The "Mecca Family" (meaning the members) are always available to help spot you, inform you or give you a tip on how to hit that little-know muscle group or to share a new delicious recipe. The reason we gave The Mecca gym only 4 of 5 stars is that it also offers tanning and childcare-neither of which are note-worthy or worth it. The child care room is always unmanned and you have to ask a staff member to hang out with your kids. This would be fine for older children, but if you have a little one, training over an hour gets you feeling guilty as there are RARELY any kids to play with here. They do have a tv and the kids can watch movies or play with the plethora of trucks, baby toys or a toy kitchen. Also, there is really no set limit on the childcare hours like at other facilities so you could come with the kids at 3 am and train until noon if you so chose. Also, you could let your kids hang out with you on the floor as long as they are well-behaved. This is something you really don't see. The tanning bed was used by us twice in a row and not a drop of color after 15 minutes which tells us that the bulbs must need changing. All-in-all, this is decidedly FABULOUS gym and we could train here for hours!

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.

I was really interested in joining this gym because I like their approach. It reminded me a lot of…read morea gym I went to in Washington where the owner would text me and check in on me if I hadn't been there in a while. And they have a couple new coaches who seem exceptionally knowledgeable. But. And this is a big but. There's one major problem: They use a very pungent air freshener. It's so strong and overpowering it makes me feel nauseous and/or lightheaded. And it makes it impossible for me to work out and breathe heavily in the gym. What's weird is a lot of these reviews mention the gym smells really good. The air freshener smell is identical to a hotel I stayed at in Lovelock NV that had a casino and was trying to squash the smell of cigarettes. It's not a clean fresh smelling "scent". It's like the "plug in" version of an industrial HVAC system. Or like those super strong car air fresheners. It's really too bad. I would have loved to work out here. Must mention: Coach Kenzie is amazing. Marshall, I'm begging you: Please stop using that air freshener!!!!

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?!"
