I love…no, I really, really love the environment. It’s uplifting when you enter, not only because they’ve made the gym cool inside, but the people are awesome. I walk out feeling so much better after a great workout!

The biggest difference I have noticed is that I can actually breath after exerting myself now. I was so out of shape before that I felt like I was going to pass out anytime I had to walk up hill. It made hunting season much more challenging then it should have been. I have also been able to get off my cholesterol medication which was a pretty big deal to me.

The training at Functional Idaho allows me to push myself and set attainable goals in strength, endurance, and overall fitness. It’s been a huge mental lift as well as a physical and healthy lift. It has really set up a different lifestyle for me. The great thing about Functional Idaho is that the trainers will push you, but also know that every person is different in what they can handle. They will work within the parameters and limits needed.

I trained at Functional Idaho during my off-season. I enjoyed coming into the gym- no matter what time of day- to fit in my main lifts without having to wait around for racks, weights, etc. I was looking for an athlete-friendly place and found one! My goals were to be able to get bigger and stronger in the off-season so I could be ready and in shape for baseball season.

Functional Idaho partnerships are the real deal! I have shared specific goals with Tim, my personal trainer, and he has exceeded every expectation in building a phased training plan tailored to me and my goals. The vibe at Functional Idaho is different from any gym I’ve been a part of and it’s the partnership values that make it different. I am truly pleased with the progress so far and I have ultimate confidence in Tim’s expertise and instruction- it feels like Tim is equally invested in my success. I love the facility and the 24-hour access. I challenge anyone out there to find a better gym!

The biggest difference resistance training and training [in general] at Functional Idaho has made is in my confidence. It’s something I have always struggled with, not only within myself, but also in the gym. I was always scared to go to the gym by myself; but through training with Sierra at Functional Idaho, I now have gone to the gym on my own multiple times which never would have happened before. I feel the best I ever have, and I know I have Sierra and the rest of the staff at Functional Idaho to thank for some of that.

I feel like JCF has been great for my stress levels. It gives me an outlet and has become a place I can go to burn anxious energy and feel a little more “zen”.

I train so I can reach my [soccer] goals, giving me an advantage going into those top levels. An added benefit is becoming stronger and more fit so I’m able to play all game [and against bigger and stronger opponents]. I love seeing the progress I’ve made over the weeks and months, strength as well as mentally. I’m more confident on the field knowing I put in the work to get to where I am.
