Although I love food more than exercise, I realize that to combat the first (eat well), I must do the second (work out). Skills fitness has been a great place for helping strengthen my core. I really need to spend more time here, but I at least try to make my commitment to attend the weekly Tuesday evening Pilates class. The instructor is great; she kicks my butt every time. And as a result, my core muscles have improved greatly from my lethargic sedentary lifestyle of a few years ago. I also occasionally use the media room treadmill and watch movies on the huge screen. And the hot tub, sauna and steam room are great for a sore bod. I still have the gut to prove my love of food and beer. But I can carry it with pride knowing that there are some stronger muscles underneath that will help me keep moving into my 60s. I can highly recommend this nice, clean and professional gym in North Bountiful. read more

I really REALLY don't want to write this review because I love skills. But I hope that someone will see it and changes will be made. I've been going to skills since they first opened. The only time I haven't been a member was when I was away at college. I even worked for skills for a year. It's my favorite gym in the world, but with the new ownership things have really gone downhill. When I used to work at skills we cleaned the bathrooms every shift. Now I'd be surprised if they are cleaned once a week. The bathrooms are absolutely nasty. And with the new ownership they've switched to a system where someone is only manning the front desk for a few hours a day, meaning no towel service, no help with memberships, no movies in the cinema room. The cinema room has been turned into the spin studio meaning no more working out while watching a film. The yoga studio was torn down and made into some weird stretching space. Buttons on machines are broken and will go for months without being fixed. And forget using the hot tub or sauna -- they are always broken. The class schedule used to be packed during the morning and evening, now there's only one class offered during the evenings most nights. And while everything has changed, prices have gone up a few bucks -- which isn't a big deal, but I paid for what skills used to be. I used to love skills. It was a great local gym with the best amenities, equipment, and classes around. But it's turned into a sad shell of its former self. I've cancelled my membership and switched gyms. I hope they can turn skills around before it's too late. read more

I'm shopping around for a close gym that can support my training for powerlifting. The girl that showed us around was the sweetest thing in the world. She was so nice. She took the time to show us around . She showed us everything. She told us all the details gave us the pricing , and even let us put our daughter in the daycare while we checked it all out. This place looks little from the outside but I didn't realize that I was looking at the whole thing the whole time. This place is huge. The locker rooms are massive, the hallways are massive, the class studio was massive, hiit training area was decent, and then we got to the regular gym area. Crammed. The key features I need is a deadlift platform, benchpress, and a squat rack. They had them all but in our trial time we found it to be very crowded and crammed and hard to maneuver around. The deadlift platform was in front of a squat rack, so one had to be rendered useless if it was being used. They had another squat rack which was ok, had enough space. The bench presses were okay but the rack was not adjustable so it was hard for me to unrack with my short arms, with a lot of weight, even with a spotter. The benchpress was super thick and squishy, like a mattress. Yes, this was comfortable, but it made for a really unstable bench. The first thing I noticed was the crammed space. I was Waltzing around with sweaty strangers say, "Oooh sorry, sorry. Oh excuse me. Oh NO excuse ME! Sorry." The other thing I noticed that drives me crazy, the weights were scattered all over the place. I could not find two matching weight plates on the same machine, near the same rack, or even in the same area. Steel plates were mixed with rubber plates which were mixed with grip plates which were then mixed with a 10 rubber plate behind a 45 steel and then 25 grip plate in front of a 5 lb rubber. This was all on the same tree, sometimes. I had to go across the gym to find a matching plate. Another downside was no bar locks. I saw three. I had to take 2 off a benchpress setup. Luckily no one was using it. It was time to move on to the free weights. I was greeted with a nice loud juicy burp from a possible regular. I think his space being threatened by an unknown woman. What woman dareth saunter into thine free weight kingdom?! .....TIS I!! I found myself an open bench and turned to where the pair of 45's would be. Queue record scratch sound... There were none. So I started looking again starting at where the 5s would be. They were all mixed up....5, 10, 35, 15, 70, 25, 55...it was a mess. They were all over too. I finally found the 45s, numerically placed next to the 100s, because that makes sense. I was kind of frazzled at that point. I did 1 set of Incline overhead presses and called it quits. I went and got my daughter from the daycare and we left. I wasn't mad or frustrated. I was a little bummed it wasn't going to work. I never did use the next 2 free days. My training is important to me and I couldn't bare having 2 more days of distraction interfering with my concentration, so I had to move along. This place is nice. 24 hour access, big locker room and even a private locker room (extra $) that offers laundry service. They hand out towels while you workout, they have sauna rooms and all the spoils. And as I mentioned, daycare. This is heaven for some people, but it's definitely not for me. I'm not a pamper me kind of woman. I get that people go before work and need to clean up. I feel you're paying for the luxury of cleaning up bedore work and not the equpiment and opportunity to workout. I spent most of my time looking for weights instead of working out. I don't spoil myself with hot tubs and saunas and see no need for them. If I were more into the luxuries, I'd consider the monthly payment, but it was too pricey for someone who just wants to come in, lift heavy shit, sweat and go home. read more

Awesome local gym, very well kept, tons of high-end equipment. The staff is extremely polite and management keeps everything very clean and organized. I feel very comfortable training here any time, even with the COVID19 pandemic going around. This gym caters to anyone looking to improve general fitness, bodybuilding, power lifting, crossfit style workouts, and all other fitness. They also have a large variety of classes. I highly recommend you check it out if you're in the area. read more

Decent gym that has all that you need to stay in shape with less ego and attitude. Good classes, good staff and good assortment of weights and workout machines. The down side is they don't keep machines (tv's) I'm working order. I hit four machines today and not one of them had a working tv... Very disappointed with this. Otherwise it's a good spot to stay in shape. read more

I love this gym. It big and very spacious. It is always clean. The staff is VERY friendly. They have so many exercise machines and weights. There is also a theater room where you can watch a movie and exercise at the same time. There is also so many different classes you can also join. The womens bathroom is very clean at all times. read more

This is the nicest and cleanest gym I have ever been to. The owners and staff actually care about their members and the gym culture is positive and uplifting which means the members interact and support each other as a caring family and strong community. Hands down the best gym in the state of Utah. I highly recommend this gym. read more

New to the gym and I like it but it's more to go there than other places. People at the front desk super friendly and I love the hot tub. My complaint and why I can't give 5 stars is too much of the equipment is broken. I feel you pay a premium price the place should look amazing and everything should work well. read more

I just started working out at Skills. What a great place. I've known about it for a long time but now I'm finally here. The equipment is in good shape and I really love the staff. I also love the general vibe here. I feel like most people are here because the want to work out. It's not a show off kind of a place and I always feel comfortable here. Check it out! read more

I love this place. It's clean, and the staff and members are respectful. They don't have a ton of equipment, but they're getting there.

I've been to a lot of gyms, and skills is my favorite! I love the staff, weights and how there is something for everyone there. They make it possible for everyone to hit their goals. They also added tons of new hammer strength machines and other features. It is open Sunday's now as well which is perfect! read more

Used to be a great place, but have since lost their personal touch that made them so great. It's all about the mighty dollar now. They enroll more members than their facility can accommodate. It's difficult to get a spot in their classes so you have to come 15 minutes early to get in. Frequently equipment is broken and or poorly maintained and takes months of repeatedly reporting the problems before they are repaired. The theater room is also frequently out of order and they employ staff that is young and inexperienced. I'm saddened and disappointed with my recent experience with them. Beware, they are not all that their shiny exterior portrays them to be. read more
