Jessica Jones has been my trainer since 2022, and I can honestly say she has transformed my life. I started with the goal of building muscle to support my long-term health--strengthening my core, reducing my risk of osteoporosis, and simply feeling stronger in my own body. In the three years we've worked together, she has not only helped me accomplish all of that, she has taken me far beyond what I ever thought I could do. Jessica has this incredible ability to push me exactly when I need it, even in the moments when I would've quit on myself. Her workouts are always thoughtful, always tailored to my needs, and always spot-on. She listens, adapts, and somehow knows just how to challenge me while keeping the sessions fun (unless I'm gasping for air--but even then, she gets me talking again!). I admire her expertise, her professionalism, and the genuine care she puts into every session. I respect her more than I can say. I would never have reached this level of strength, confidence, and overall health without her guidance. She is amazing--plain and simple--and I'm beyond grateful to have her in my corner. read more

Xcel fitness is by far the best gym in town. I've tried every other gym and none of them can beat it. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the members are always respectful and kind. The equipment is new and there is a wide variety of options and a huge selection of dumbells. I've been a part of this gym for years and love it. This community is great! read more

Absolutely, horrible service, and lied about membership. Charged over $340 without permission, even after canceling, and refused to help. Not only unhelpful, but an arrogant and condescending tone. Definitely scripted responses, and admitted this happens frequently. read more

Great gym, got all you need, upgrades come about twice a year with no changes in membership cost . Been going here for almost 2 years and have made so much progress. The owner Israel is a great guy, and hey a protein shop with fresh steaks and farm goods!? What else could you ask for? read more

Great gym with a fantastic staff. Good overall fitness atmosphere with good equipment and they keep the place very clean. They even implemented a farm to table store with fresh food, cheese and eggs which we love to take home after a good gym sesh! I highly recommend this gym. read more

if your looking for a great place to work out Xcel Fitness is your place. super friendly faculty that remembers your name. plenty of space and parking is not much of a problem. the cross fit teachers are great and encouraging. the members are everyday people and not a lot of ego lifters. you should definitely check Xcel out if you need a good local gym. read more

this gym is a great option if you are looking for ungainful employment along with your workout - they make it clear upon arrival that your $15/day drop in fee includes cleaning responsibilities for all the equipment, bathrooms, and lockers. don't worry! they keep all the tools you'll need for your janitorial services clearly accessible. brian says: might be a good option if you live in bend. sauna kinda sucks but there are classes and lots of equipment. if you're visiting, the drop in fee is still worth it. read more

Great gym! Love coming here, always clean and a great community. Definitely recommend

I have been a member since 2018 and always had a great experience here. Tons of equipment, space, and a dry sauna which is nice. Definitely the best gym I've been to in Central Oregon. read more

Awesome staff that is extremely accommodating and friendly ! Great equipment and selection read more

Xcel Fitness - Trainers Near Me - Bend, Oregon

Complete garbage. Billed for 2 months they were locked down. Closed the location that I used and the monthly and annual 'maintenance" fee stayed the same....Unable to get out of the contract. Read the other 1 star reviews and judge for yourself if this gym is a good investment. read more

Even though corona virus is happening, excel feels "legally obligated" to keep charging me my monthly fee. They refuse to terminate my contract until it is paid in full. Be very wary of any contracts with Xcel. read more

I had been going to xcel crossfit for months, mostly kept to myself but was friendly to everyone there. I drove all the way from sunriver to join classes at least 3 times a week. When suddenly me and my mother got a phone call from the manager telling us "people had been complaining that we smell bad and we need to fix it or we will be asked to leave" we scheduled an appointment to talk to him in person and he was still just as awful to our faces. He made comments about how me (a 17 year old at the time) would wear sleeveless tops and he could "smell me from across the room" and was convinced we didn't wear deodorant. I've waited a long time to post this, but it still saddens me just as much today as it did years ago. Please spend your money on a different gym. read more

I hired Lexie Peterson as my personal trainer for $70 per hour. On our 2nd session she left in the middle of the workout to teach a random gym member how to deadlift. When she returned to our session I asked her if she could hold off on training others until after our session because I am paying good money for her time. she was offended by my request and told me that she's a free resource for everyone at the gym and wants to help everybody. Uhhh... why am I paying you if you're a free resource and just want to help everybody?? read more

Staff is incredibly friendly and make it a point to greet you by name. Sometimes it gets busy and it's hard to use the equipment you want to use but there's always an alternative available. Definitely worth the monthly price. Only flaw is the parking. read more

One of the best gyms I've ever had a membership at. The facility is always kept clean, the staff is always friendly and up for a quick conversation and the access to a sauna, CrossFit, childcare and massage therapist is a godsend. For everything that's offered in Bend Oregon, you will not find a deal better than excel with 24/7 access at a great price and still lots of weightlifting equipment unlike planet fitness. For someone like me who's all about the products offered rather than just a nice looking interior, this place is a gold mine for fitness people!! read more

Great place to work out! CrossFit is AMAZING, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. They make a point of getting to know you, and address you on a first-name basis right from the start. 100% recommend! Oh, and they also have child care! Wooooooo! read more

Staff is always nice and helpful. Great array of equipment and lovely place to workout!

They won't let me cancel my membership even though I moved. They said I can cancel if I moved more then 25 miles away from facility and provide proof of move with piece of mail. I provided several pieces of mail but they wouldn't accept it as proof. Said it had to be an utility bill. I don't have any utilities in my name but I doubt they would even cancel if I did, they would probably say it's not good enough. read more

Xcel is a fantastic gym! Super friendly staff that remember your name and ask how your day is going. Tons of equipment to choose from. I especially love the turf room with the extra CrossFit equipment! Now referring to the other questionable reviews... I've been working out at Xcel on and off for a decade, never had any issues with the contracts! Staff always explained everything clearly and canceled or made changes on time and were super helpful. read more

I have been a member for over 5 years and I absolutely love my gym. I work out early in the mornings before work and it always starts my day out right! Having a 24 hour gym is the best! Being able to shower after a great work out is a huge plus for me. The variety of equipment is excellent and it is fun to mix up work outs with all the variety of possibilities at Xcel. One thing I especially enjoy is when I come in during staffed ours and the wonderful staff welcomes me by name. . read more

To cancel your membership call Peak Payment at 1 (801) 981 - 5328. Speak with a customer service representative and they will help. If you are considering this gym please note, they have taken advantage of hundreds of people in the Bend community during Covid. The owners shut down their south location and secretly transferred all memberships to their north location. Then they continued to charge all south location members for a gym that does not exist, refused to provide any refunds, and threaten to send you to collections if you refuse to pay. It is truly horrendous to have such unethical business practices during the pandemic. read more

I was in Bend on vacation. The whole week was a $25 fee, which is a great deal for how nice the gym is. They have plenty of room to lift some serious weights and everything is nice and clean. The staff was so friendly, I almost wanted to move to Bend from San Francisco, just to join this gym. ;) The childcare daily drop in was only $7/day for my 3 kids! They did crafts and interacted with the kids, they had so much fun and it was safe environment. I finally tried the Crossfit the last day and the programming was incredible! The people in the class were extremely friendly and the coach was helpful and encouraging. read more

Went to workout here after being a client for two years. This place has really taken a hit in terms of core values and standards. I typically go around 8pm at night which is when staffing leaves, and it brings in another crowd. Rude , arrogant, and crude boys. I am a new mom and they made some awful sexual comments about me, and not to mention no one was wearing a mask. After being there for 20 minutes I wrapped up and grabbed my things, to find a rat in the girls bathroom. I will not be returning , after two years I would've expected better things. But I mean, in a pandemic you'd rather let boys have their freedom and not mask up, then keep your business ? read more

One of the best gyms in town! Love the people that work here. They are super nice and take care of the gym very well. I love all the equipment they have here especially the hip thrust machine. Will continue to come to this gym above any other in town. read more

GREAT GYM! Have been going since high school, never ever let's me down. Great community that comes along with this grade gym

Maybe for cities of this size, people consider this a nice gym, but having lived in larger cities most of my life, I find that it is outdated and somewhat tacky, an example being the signs they have taped to the benches in the men's bathroom (which is also very outdated). This is the kind of place I wish I had money to buy and do a complete makeover. Otherwise, it's only the second gym I've visited here but it was recommended by a local supplement store owner and it will do fine for the two month membership I purchased. read more

Pretty good gym. Although, during the last couple months it's gotten really crazy crowded!

As many others have said, this gym is an absolute scam. They do not hold their part of the contract and will stop at nothing to get your money. I joined and in less than a week they shut down the only facility that proved useful to me and many others. Do not sign with xcel!!! You will regret it. There are plenty of other gyms to choose from that will treat you like a valued customer. #sueXcel read more

Do not go to this gym!! All they care about is money. It is impossible to cancel!!! Impossible. They say you can cancel if you show proof that you moved. I showed proof!! And it's not enough because they say that I'm using the same license. Well obviously I am using the same license because I own the address and moved back to it. What do they want from me? They are liars. I showed them the proof they wanted and they are still not willing to cancel my membership. We will see what my lawyer has to say about this! Please, people, do not go here. Look at all of the other issues that people have with this gym. read more

Not impressed. The gym is packed. You need to park up the street to get in. We wanted to put a hold on our account one month to travel and see family. They said they'd only do it if we brought in plane tickets and lodging receipts to prove we left town. Called to cancel back in the spring. They kept charging us regardless and sent us to collections for over $300 in fees. You need to go ahead and call their special membership cancelling hotline which doesn't answer the phone. When we called to dispute they've deleted our info so you can't even dispute the charges. Completely let down by this experience. I would take my business elsewhere. read more

I've recently moved to Bend and have been in a search to find "my place." The search is over! This gym is amazing. It's clean and has such a cool vibe. The equipment is fantastic. The layout is perfect. The members and staff are super friendly. After going to pretty much every other gym in Bend, I can not recommend this place enough. read more

The owners of the gym don't care about the client they just care about the money My wife and I have heath problem that we are unable to work out and wanted to cancel our member ship. We haven't worked out there seance October. They continue to take 55 dollars a month out of our account. I've talked to them several times and the management said sounds like bad luck to me. Don't have heath problem. read more

By far best gym in Bend. Full of people who actually workout. Large open space with all the right equipment. Staff knew me by name after my first week there. Super friendly all around. Do not understand the bad reviews. I drive 15 minutes out of my way to come here because it's so much better than anything else in town. read more

This place is always open, ALWAYS equipped, and ALWAYS clean. I live 5 minutes away. Maybe less, depending on what kind of morning I'm having. Staff Is great. Management must be very good! Cheers! Isaac read more

I've worked and/or worked out at almost all of the larger gyms in Bend, and Xcel is by far the best. Both the East and Southside location are very clean and well taken care of. The gyms don't get too crowded so you can use the equipment you want. The trainers are knowledgable and the owners are always making sure things run smoothly. read more

This is the perfect gym for anyone, at any skill level. The staff is amazing at getting to know you, and answer any question you may have. Opportunities are endless with massage therapists, nutrition coaches, and personal trainers. Plus, the childcare in the mornings work great for the days my son doesn't have school I'm able to get a work out in as he plays with his friends At the gym. I highly recommend. read more

Great gym, great people, and good environment. The only draw back is that they can be busy in certain times but that's what you get when you are good. read more

TERRIBLE! All they care about is getting your money. When I signed up to get a contract, they told me I could cancel at any time and when I tried to, they told me I couldn't until a year later. I am a minor that they completely took advantage of. Don't make a contract with them. read more

The membership cancellation policy is almost impossible. They send you to a third party who is only available via email and the response time is days. I have been emailing back and forth one sentence for days now and still have not been able to cancel read more
