Xcel Fitness

My family and I have been members of this gym for many years. When it comes to a phenomenal gym you definitely pay for what you get and this here is the best gym in the state! They are constantly updating equipment and bringing in some of the trainers, coaches and classes you'll find. My top three favorite aspects are as follows : 1) the gym is clean and the fellow members keep it that way, you don't ever need to fear laying in a puddle of some "bro's" sweat on a bench. 2) equipment availability, unlike many other gyms you rarely need to wait for your favorite machine or weights to be available while someone hogs it. 3) child care, they have the most epic kids club that'll watch your your young ones while you get to go work out. I could go on and write about the luxurious locker rooms with steam rooms, hot tubs and showers that aren't reminiscent of a horror film, but I don't have the room. I will however recommend that people swing on in and go check it out, you'll never be able to look at your old gym the same again. More...

I have visited many gyms in the area and this is the best one! I drive 30 min to use this gym and it's worth the drive! It's the best facility with great equipment and awesome staff. They are constantly bringing in new pieces for members to use. I love it! More...

Great gym.  Good mix of functional equipment + your traditional globo gym/bodybuilding stuff.  Most of the equipment is top notch.  I typically can't stand commercial gyms but this place has a different feel to it. More...

There are two reasons I go to Xcel. The first is how clean everything is. From the equipment and classrooms to the lockers, it always feels just cleaned. I appreciate not touching sticky workout equipment. The second and most profound reason for me is the Kids' Club. No other gym matches the safety, cleanliest, and atmosphere of the Kids' Club. Everyone who works in there is outstanding. I could on and on about the the special efforts they take to ensure my child is happy, safe, and having fun. On top of this, there are pagers you can borrow (or just leave your phone number for a text or call if you'd prefer), a camera so you can tune into the Kids' Club while exercising, a staff to children ratio that is expectional, and other safety and hygienic procedures taken to maintain the high standards of the Kids' Club. Xcel is doing fantastic in many areas and I appreciate their continuous efforts to improve and maintain being one of the top gyms in Utah. More...

Great gym. Been a member for 3+ years and love the large and spacious environment. It has something for everyone. 8 Olympic lifting platforms, pull-up rigs, tons of free weights, cross fit room, MMA corner, and everything in between. The staff is personable and they don't push stuff on you and make you feel uncomfortable. I would recommend this gym.4.8.2019 Quick update. I have been a member for over 6 year now and the feeling is still the same. Ownership has changed, and a few employees...but not tons, and they have still managed to keep the culture the same (if not a tad better) and I really appreciate the environment and equipment they have given to us.

Nate, the owner, really made things right when I expressed a concern in a previous review. First off, I love this gym. Great facilities, great energy, great staff, and members that are serious about staying in shape. Acknowledging that things don't always meet the expectations of a customer or in this case gym member like myself, I truly value how management deals with the customers concerns. Nate is a stand up owner, truly caring about the customer experience above the financial bottom line. I can't imagine a better gym in SLC. More...

Love it but the janitors are always cleaning the floors between 530 and 6 during the week, which I assume is the busiest time of day. The chemicals they're cleaning with hurt to breath during a cardio session. More...

I went to Xcel Fitness because of the John Madsen Program that I enrolled in to get healthier and more disciplined with my workouts- I was impressed with the cleanliness, options available for classes, and friendliness of the staff at Xcel. The JMP trainers pushed me and helped me to achieve great results and somehow still made a hard workout fun. Both Xcel and JMP are worth the price, but only if you are willing to put in the time and effort. More...

Xcel Fitness is one of the best gyms in Utah and has a strong commitment to professional athletes and serious enthusiasts. They have a modern and smartly designed interior with lots of natural window lighting throughout. The gym and locker rooms are clean and well-maintained.No, Excel doesn't have a swimming pool or basketball courts, but they do have a very well-equipped gym with serious tools for developing the best in their members. They also offer cycling, yoga, Pilates, CrossFit, and other classes to help educate and encourage your training.I've had the opportunity to attend multiple CrossFit competitions at Xcel and their Crossfit box, C2X CrossFit. The level of competition and athleticism is truly amazing. Xcel truly brings together a world-class gym with inspiring and powerful athletes. More...

I have been to hometown gyms, private gyms, large franchise gyms and even tried just getting in workouts from home and always felt frustrated with equipment breaking, too busy, and that all changed when I started going to Xcel Fitness! It is so much more than a "gym" for me! I recently had surgery on my pec and I just came to get others encouragement during my recovery. It's an incredible atmosphere and the equipment is top notch, always clean, and never broken. You are always welcomed in with a smile and hello, and the daycare is spectacular - my 4 year old LOVES it! If you've been frustrated in the past with other gyms, I promise you will have a different experience with Xcel - go check it out! More...

I have been a member of Xcel since it opened in 1999. Over the years I have seen the facility go through many changes (including ownership) and it is still hands down the best gym in the valley. Due to my office location I had a second membership at an upscale gym downtown that was nice but far less equipment so I often felt crowded while working out. I've also been a guest at the other gym down the road from Xcel and it was not something I'd do again (gross). If you're looking to take classes then Xcel IMO is the place to go. I took Body Pump 2x a week for about 2 years and the instructors are amazing. They're all Les Mills certified so the classes you're taking have been professionally choreographed. The facility itself is continually being updated and you can tell that everyone on the staff cares to be the #1 gym in Salt Lake. Thanks Xcel More...

Best gym in the state, hands down, here's why: It's open, ie plenty of open space Anything you want to do for fitness, it's here It's always clean Friendly, helpful staff and trainersShake bar is on point It's no frills, no tough-people attitudes, etc I often think, it would really suck training down the street at those big box gyms.

I've been a member of this gym for almost a year now, and I absolutely love friendly staff, amazing people, and general culture of this gym! I'm extremely sad to say that I have to downsize gym memberships until I finish my studies, but I had a wonderful experience at Xcel Fitness, and hope to be back once I graduate! PROS:- Wonderful culture: everyone is so friendly, inclusive, and kind. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, and every person I've interacted with at this gym has smiled and said hello. The people who come here are super genuine, and a lot of them are in great shape. It's encouraging to see so many people doing so well with their health, and all of the people I talked to were always really kind to me. I never felt uncomfortable, judged, or unwelcome. I've gained a lot of weight in the last two years due to some major life changes, and I'm extremely uncomfortable with my body at the moment. At Xcel Fitness, I never felt like I was out of place, even though I'm in the worst shape of my life. (Compared to other gyms where people might be judgmental- I never experienced anything like that here).- Extremely safe: I never felt anxious or nervous about leaving my things in my locker, none of the staff or members ever made me feel unsafe. And the location of this gym is in a nice neighborhood. I never worried about my car being broken into, etc.- Amazing gym equipment: the equipment in this gym is extremely nice compared to others gyms. They spend a lot of money in the quality of this gym and equipment. I have only seen a few machines that were broken for a short period of time, and normally there were other machines exactly like it that did work.- Experienced/friendly trainers: Unfortunately I couldn't afford to have a personal trainer, but I was able to have a session with one of them named Austin. He was so kind, attentive, and patient with me. All of the trainers that I've met at this gym are courteous and fun. - Month-to-month membership: I loved the flexibility of having a month-to-month membership. Being a full-time college student, I knew that there's a possibility to come into financial trouble. Cancelling my membership (although sad) was a really easy process. They were completely understanding and helped the process go smoothly.- Management: Ryan is awesome! He actually showed me around the gym when I was looking into the place. He was really friendly and got to know me personally. I think that's really cool.CONS:- They are expensive: compared to other gyms, the price is definitely high. But the quality of the gym does make up for that, in my opinion. Health is an investment, and a really good one to make. - Only one location: I currently work and go to school. Xcel Fitness was right by my office (I passed it on my way to work every day), but not my home or school. So I couldn't go as often as I would like to because it was a 10-15 minute drive from my home. I loved coming here in the mornings before work, but if I managed to forget my gym clothes, it was unlikely that I would make the drive again in the evening to get a workout in. More...
