I've noticed that Sun Valley lacks in boutique fitness studios and gyms like Synergy have a huge waitlist and don't sell weekly passes. I get my exercise in hiking and biking during the summer, but needed to find a way to get a good sweat now that I've retired from skiing (if you can call what I did skiing).
I was excited to see they had a treadmill/circuit training type of class called the mill. I did the power mill class 4 times during my week in Sun Valley and loved it so much. All 3 instructors I took with (Sophie, Maggie and Josie) were challenging and energetic. It was a good combo of running and weight lifting - I hated it during the workout, but felt so good when I left.
Sophie's class was probably the most challenging of the 3 and she was also super friendly and welcoming to a newbie like me. Her Sunday morning class was also the smallest with only 3 of us so spent a lot of time correcting our form as well. I think you can't go wrong with any of the classes here and if you love to run they have a run mill class that's all on the tread.
Excited I found this amazing workout for my frequent trips to Sun Valley. It seems popular among the locals, but tourists should try it too. And the first class was only $15 on mind body! read more
