Idaho Fitness Factory State Street

Update: In case you were wondering, its now April and the treadmills that were down in September of last year are still broken. Still waiting on that new equipment they promised was coming 5 months ago 3 (update FOUR!!)of their treadmills have been broken for months, getting tired of having to wait around for someone to finish with one. Go somewhere that they actually care about their equipment Edit: Its been 10 days since the day they said they were getting new ones. The ones that were broken in September are still broken, they just moved them around. Lol

Probably the worst gym I've ever been to. I went to meridian n McMillan and chinden locations for several years. They were ok. Nothing great but decent I guess. State st is bad. Cables are way outdated, serious lack of equipment and everything is outdated. If meridian costs $35 this location should be $20.

This is by far the worst gym I've ever been in. In the past 7 days, I've felt more unsafe lifting here than I have in 2.5 years at the YMCA. 2nd day - people openly threatening gun violence. 3rd day - junkies shooting up in the bathroom. 5th day - tweaker harassing people, esp women, at 12am. today - 2 children attacking eachother and screaming in a secluded room, forcing me to put myself in danger and play babysitter. This gym is a murder case waiting to happen, purchase a membership at your own risk. btw if you do make the mistake of lifitng here, do not go after 7PM when the staff leave, especially if you are a woman.

When equipment breaks, its basically broken for good with an out of order sign on it. They have a $40 annual maintenance fee in addition to the monthly fee, its CLEARLY not going to keeping the equipment in good shape, so wheres it going?

Only allowing guests during staffed hours is a big detractor. Also, the facility at this location is poorly ventilated so they leave the emergency exit door open during the day. This completely defeats the purpose of having controlled access to the location and the emergency exit also happens to be located immediately next to the lockers which are not located inside a restroom. The equipment is mostly new and in decent repair. I have not seen anything broken yet, although there appear to be many reviews stating equipment goes down for long periods of time. During peak hours there isnt much room, only a few squat racks available and the floor isnt very large. All in all, its a pretty middle of the road gym. I am a member solely out of location convenience, though I am tempted to go back to making a 20min bike commute to and from Axiom in East Boise again, as the lack of physical security at this gym and its proximity to the center of the homeless population in Boise is a significant detractor.
