My husband and I first came to OPEX CDA to prepare for an upcoming trip. We were looking to (of course) get in shape so that we could enjoy every minute of our vacation, and look good while doing it. Not only did we accomplish that goal, but we also found a lifelong home with OPEX CDA. We’re both physically stronger but the most important things is that we’ve found a sustainable training program for life! I cannot recommend OPEX CDA enough! More...

Not just a physical change but a mental mind shift as well! That’s what OPEX CDA has done for me... I was sitting behind a young lady on an airplane a couple of weeks ago and I could see that she was looking at all of her photos and editing her double chin, etc. … It broke my heart to see that because I was that girl...insecure, lacking confidence, strong on the outside, but broken on the inside. I still remember the day that I first walked into OPEX… That day almost didn’t happen, I almost turned around and drove back home… So nervous to step out of my comfort cardio zone and try something new. I pulled into the parking spot, took a deep breath and climbed out of my jeep. Walking through the doors for the first time, I was greeted by my Coach Brandon Burchfield. At this meeting I had no idea how much him and the OPEX gym would change my life!He took me to his office and my consult began… there was a huge blank white board on the wall, he said, “this is what I know about you... absolutely nothing! Let’s fill in the gap‘s! Tell me all about you, tell me about your past and where you want to see yourself go in the future, tell me about how you are doing physically, emotionally and spiritually.” I’m a crier, so of course we got onto certain subjects where I started crying! He said, “it’s OK to cry, I need to know everything about you to know where we need to start!” I laid it all out for him, I was open and honest and felt safe and secure enough to be vulnerable and share my fears, doubts and goals with him. We sat and chatted for about 45 minutes… I could feel something like goosebumps due to the nervousness and excitement that I was anticipating on this journey! His words to me that sealed the deal, “Jessi... I can see that you are pretty comfortable where you are, but it’s not giving you what your body and mind need to grow.... Time to embrace the uncomfortable!!” He had me!!Over the next few days he ran me through a gamut of body movement assessments/testing. The testing that he put me through was unlike anything that I physically had ever put my body through. Coming from spin classes three times a week, I was the cardio queen. Never picking up weights or doing any type of weight-bearing exercise before, this was like a foreign language to me. This was also something that I would have never felt brave enough to do without him teaching me and cheering me on.A few weeks went by and I was growing to love this place! There was something special about OPEX CDA...This was the piece of the puzzle that I had been missing in my fitness journey. I started talking with the other OPEX CDA members and discovered that not only was this place different than anything I’ve ever experienced before, but the people were different as well.... this was exactly what I needed! I could tell that my life would change and magic would happen belonging to the OPEX family. We come from all walks of life and all different fitness levels, but we have one thing in common... We want to see each other grow, get stronger and more confident. We want to see each other succeed and push our bodies! We are a family at OPEX, when we have bad days we are there for each other and it’s even better when we have good days! We are always there to push each other harder, cheer for each other louder and support one another....My coach and everyone I’ve met at OPEX has been responsible for the mental and physical transformation that I’ve gone through. Looking back when I first started in February, I have come so far. My self-esteem and self worth have gone through the roof, I’m doing things I never physically or mentally thought I was capable of! Not just getting my body stronger, but getting my mind stronger as well! I love the person who I’ve become and who I’m still becoming… There’s still room to grow, still room to change, still room to improve and still goals to reach! I’m looking forward to learning so much more about myself as time goes by… I am so thankful that I walked through those doors, this is exactly where I need to be. More...

Brandon is an excellent coach and puts together personalized plans to help me reach my goals. The Opex method works great for me, not just weights or cardio but a blend of excellent exercises that change frequently that keeps me from getting bored!

I have attended group crossfit for 3 years and switched to the individualized programming offered by Lotus 6 weeks after giving birth to my son. In just 6 months I am stronger now then I ever have been. Not only am I stronger but I have learned a lot about myself and what I am capable of. More...

This place feels like fitness for adults. That's just the best way I can explain it! You don't feel like you're getting sold by a car salesman. Everything is specific to your goals, your body, and what's going to give YOU the best results. It feels great not being compared to someone else and thinking about what other people or programs are doing. I know with incredible confidence that this is the best place for me. More...

I'm on the other side of 50 and have exercised most of my adult life, using a handful of approaches (e.g. calisthenics, weightlifting, cross-fit, etc. ). I've trained with Brandon for a couple of months now and continue to be impressed with his knowledge and with his judgement understanding what is and what is not appropriate work for my body. My experience with Opex is that it's not just a gym nor just a personal trainer, although both elements are obviously there - it's more and I emphatically recommend Brandon's business to anyone serious about improving their physical shape and appearance.

I highly recommend Lotus Fit by design!! I have been an avid exerciser since college, mainly group classes, running, biking and swimming. Didn’t see great results and always fell short of my goals but loved the feel of getting my heart rate up and being conditioned with a little weight training. I started CrossFit 7 years ago and and loved it! Realizing that I had never really worked at building muscle and getting stronger this set me on a new journey of goals and training. I’m very competitive and wanted to do competitions but needed specific training movements to help me achieve my goals. I’m also 53 years old and have had several injuries, ACL knee construction, Meniscus surgery and a few minor setbacks. After a few years of CrossFit these injuries caused other issues to flare up and I needed to modify my workouts. I realized I needed programming just for ME and my goals that I wouldn’t get in CrossFit classes. I started Personal Programming a few years ago and LOVED it! I’ve reached several goals, gotten stronger and have been able to workout through injuries and recover well. The coaches at Lotus are well educated, trained, certified and have the expertise to help you get to your personal goals. They program workouts just for you. They help when it comes to nutrition and fueling your body for your workouts and recovery. I’m in it for the long haul, longevity, building and keeping muscle as I age and just because it’s so much fun!! I would encourage anyone that has reached a plateau, has certain goals or just wants a workout catered to their needs to give it a try, you won’t be disappointed! More...

I absolutely LOVE being a part of Lotus Fit by Design, I feel so blessed to train here! The facilities are the best I've seen in north Idaho, always clean & orderly every time I walk in the door (5X/week). My programming is just for me, very personalized to meet my very specific needs/requirements. I'm personally coached not just in workouts, but in nutrition & lifestyle as well, again tailored to my unique requirements. I'm a 58 year old mother of four, grandmother of three and I'm in the best condition I've ever been! I'm consistently hitting new PRs and reaching new goals, even after years of training hard here, and it feels SO GOOD! My personal programming gives me the opportunity to do more, with new/different techniques & movements, and always in a safe way, and in a safe environment. Brandon (owner) has SO much knowledge about training & nutrition, but his biggest gift by far is his heart. It's so obvious he loves what he does, and wants the absolute best for every person that walks in the door. I truly love this place! More...

I joined Lotus a little over 2 years ago. I have always been physically active but nothing compared to the kind of workout I get at CrossFit. I have seen amazing results in my strength and endurance. I am an avid road bicyclist and have seen improvement in my riding due to CrossFit. The family atmosphere at Lotus is amazing. I have developed some of my best friends here and it has truely become a part of my life. Everyone cheers you on whether you are the first or last person to finish a workout. Lotus is not "clicky" or too competative, most of us are just here to stay in shape. More...

I have exercised regularly for 12 years... and have NEVER seen results like I have at Crossfit. The changes in my mind and body are great. I have never been so motivated to go to the "Gym". The coaches at Lotus are AMAZING.... so encouraging and easy to follow. And, of course the rest of the class feels almost like family... Great Experience and completely life changing! More...

I've been going to Lotus CF for a year and a few months now and it has completely changed my life. I started at Lotus after losing a large amount of weight, and was in the worst shape of my life, and have gone to being in the best shape I've ever been in.
The love and support I felt from the minute I started was unlike any other. The coaching is amazing! I've received coaching in everything from nutrition, to mobility, and everything in between. The staff go the extra mile to make sure that everyone is safe during each class to avoid any injury, and I really appreciate the emphasis they put on safety.
I started Independent Design at Lotus recently. Lotus offers this as a special programming designed to fit the specific person and the help them hit their specific needs and goals. I am getting in depth nutritional coaching as well as my own workouts each week and I love it! The detail and time they put into me as a client is above and beyond what I could have ever expected.
Check Lotus CF out! You won't regret it!
