Best Fitness Center near Rexburg, Idaho

Went to a comedy show in the Hart. Nice place! Clean, well organized with ushers, etc. It holds a lot of people. Event sold out fast. Nice facility! Easy to find free parking also.

I wore my byui t shirt with the word capstone on it because it looks exactly the same as the byui gym clothes. I didn’t notice the word capstone until I came in and they did not let me in. It was so weird because literally the guy who came in before me wore a light blue hoodie and there were other guys wearing beige and pink t-shirt inside the gym.

Decent gym with lots of options for a workout. However, it seems each machine is slowly collecting the "Out of Order" award. Not sure why that is. 🤔

There are too many students during the semesters, and they're closed during holidays. Machines are often broken (due to misuse or lack of control from students) and sometimes take several weeks to repair. TVs are often frozen, lagging, or inopperable. It is nice to go in for free for both my wife and I, though parking is limited and getting a pass is difficult (spouses can not get a parking pass near the center). Tips for coming here: 1. Don't waste money buying gym clothing unless you like shorts and t-shirts (which cost you $50 a pair). Instead, wear approved sweatpants and a hoodie (which are allowed). Even pajamas qualify for appropriate wear, so take advantage and save some money. 2. Parking is ticketed from 7am-5pm on weekdays. So, going in the morning or after 5 pm (and before 11 pm when they close) is the best way to not have to buy a parking pass and still work out for free. 3. Best times to work out (based on personal experience): Weekdays= Opening-4pm & 9pm-close Weekends= Almost anytime, though evenings are typically busier (4pm-8pm) 4. Call in to see if hours vary for holidays or breaks. Many times, Google maps and the website don't reflect the actual hours of the fitness center. I've found that calling ahead to ask about hours has been helpful in saving me the drive. If they don't answer, they probably aren't open. I'd prefer to work out at Planet Fitness or another gym if I didn't spend all of my money on college.

I’m grateful for a free gym and a university that offers tuition at a very low rate. That being said the dress code at the gym is obviously in place for a reason. I get it and I follow it. My understanding is that it ensures modesty while working out. But when me or my husband are asked to leave because we don’t have the BYUI logo on our blue shorts it just feels a little too nitpicking. We have come in perfectly modest clothes and ones very identical to the required uniform… just no logo on the shorts. I just don’t understand who or what I’m hurting by not wearing the BYUI approved shorts. Oh, but I forgot if I wear black sweat pants it’s fine if it doesn’t have to have the logo. I’m just hoping by this review that those who make the rules and those students who run everything on campus will think more about the spirit of law rather than just the letter of the law. Because right now it doesn’t feel like it’s about being modest it feels more like I’m just trying to be controlled. *For reference these are the shorts compared to the BYUI required ones.
