I love coming here for so many reasons. However, athletic clubs are a highly personal thing - I would strongly reccomend test driving before locking into a contracted membership.

Having been recently remodeled, the club has a much more welcoming feel. The schedules of classes available are generous and varied. 

My boys love swimming here, especially in the winter. I especially love the family changing rooms - they make all the difference.

The gym equipment is always very clean, and while the place is never really deserted, I rarely have to wait very long for the machine I want or a space to stretch. 

Overall, a lovely facility.

Our whole family loves this place. They go above and beyond to meet and exceed your needs and requests. This club is for everyone, it’s clean, always updated and fun to be apart of. They have done an excellent job of creating a community.  We have been members since 2010.

My husband and I joined a year ago and have enjoyed our membership so far. The slightly ritzy environment and overwhelming workout options were intimidating at first, but now I that I am aquainted with the place, I feel quite comfortable there. We often come during the middle of the day or weekend evenings, and are able to avoid the bigger crowds. I've run into a handful of fitness snobs, and one rude/pointless employee, but most people are kind and just trying to get exercise and have some fun. The membership fee is on the higher end, but it's a higher end facility. I love everything they have to offer and plan on adding our teenage kids to our membership this spring.

Had a billing/membership issue that took a little more effort to resolve than I had wanted. They met me in the middle on the issue and it was resolved. I wish I had a better experience with them but “not all gyms are for everyone.” Besides the billing issues it was a fun place to workout.

We are currently members here. The staff is extremely friendly. They have everything you could desire if you just want your basic fitness needs met!

As far as the patrons go, this isn't a hardcore classic gym. It is basically an LA Fitness with a better weight room. The crowd is definitely one of those "I just want to be lean and toned" kind of crowds.

The weight room has come a long way since the early 2000's. I think the owner and management are gradually modernizing the weight area. They are definitely headed in the right direction but they are not there yet.  

If you are into power lifting or strongman you will have some needs met but it won't be ideal. They do not allow chalk. The bumper plate selection is limited (only two sets of 45's). They have one great squat rack and two average ones. The two shock absorbing platforms are wonderful for deadlift...but there are only two. Worst feature of their weight room is the hex plates. These plates do not stack well on the bar. They can spin and slightly move the bar away from you when you deadlift. The risk can be mitigated if you slow down your lift and reset every rep. In addition you can mix bumpers with 35lb hex plates that do not touch the ground, but it is still not ideal. Slight movement is still inevitable.They have some round 100lb plates on the leg press but they are very wide and take up a lot of space on the bar. There is no strongman equipment here. Sled and prowlers might be located away from the weight room but they are reserved for the crossfiteers. Don't even ask about logs or atlas stones they will look at you like an alien.   I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a glute/ham machine. I was saddened when I realized most the patrons use the glute/ham for ab exercises but at least they have one!

If you are a bodybuilder they have plenty of free motion machines and free weights. However in that area, the dumbbells don't go beyond 120lbs. Also the hoist machines are not great at all. The hoist equipment has an odd weight chart that coincides with very random weight conversions in lbs. The hoist leg press has an extra large platform and is at an extra exaggerated angle. If you are used to heel only pressing it won't work well on this. Your range of motion will be limited. They have an alternative leg press that is completely flat but it isn't the best. 

If you are a crossfiteer, I am not a good source. That area is exclusively reserved for "the tribe." So you will want to talk to a "tribe member." They have ropes up stairs. 

If you are an endurance athlete the cardio equipment is great. They have a vast selection. There are multiple treadmills, stair steppers, row machines, bikes, they even have an arm bike! It is apparent that they have invested heavily in that area of the gym. If you prefer a traditional track hang tight! They are building one. The pool is shorter than standard short course length. I estimate it is 19.5 yards in length or shorter? All I know is it is not the standard 25 yards in length. 

Overall, I still think this is one of the better gyms in Bozeman. Like I mentioned earlier, they have come a long way. Locally I have not found another gym that can compete with them on every level. Nationally they are still behind a lot of places you can find in most American cities.
