Xcel Fitness

I'm surprised that reviews on this place is so low. I think this is by far, my favorite gym in Utah. It is a bit pricey but it is so worth it.

I get to try regular group exercise, and CrossFit. Depending on the class you want to take, membership prices can vary.

The quality of working out classes is so good. People who exercise at Xcel just become regular. You would start liking to work out.

They also have a cafe at the register area. Protein shakes are freshly made and those are pretty good.

I am a member here, ONLY because I am a lululemon employee, and get a monthly amount of $ to spend at a gym. This gym is on my way home from work, so I can get in and out quick. I am absolutely SHOCKED at the pricing of this gym. My sister just called, wanting to get a membership for her and her husband with childcare included and they quoted her $190/month + an extra $20 for childcare. I am honestly saddened and disgusted to hear this. That is the same pricing as Lifetime. Are you even KIDDING ME !!?? I have been going to Xcel for two years now, and have not been happy with the cleanliness at ALL. Dust bunnies, hair, and mold in between every crevice in the machines I use. When I watch them mop, they don't change out the water, the bathroom showers have mold growing in the corners, shower heads, and ground, and dirt is coated on the ground. Not to mention, they don't even have a working hot tub or sauna, just a steam room that smells like mildew. What am I even paying for? Good thing I'm not! What a JOKE. If you're going to be a boogie, upper class gym, ACT LIKE IT! The only reason I keep coming back, is because there's hardly anyone working out when I'm there. It's starting to make sense though... they're probably losing people right and left because of how disgusting it is, so it's empty lol. It is SO outdated, and not well maintained AT ALL. Where's all our money going? Definitely not renovations! There is absolutely ZERO reason to have absolutely ABSURD prices like this. DO BETTER EXCEL. I have nothing but bad things to say about this crappy gym.

After supporting Xcel with membership for 20 years, I was told that to remain a gym member my cost would be quadrupled. I agreed the legacy rate I had for many years was low and probably should be raised. But, by a factor of 4, and all at once! I am retired and cannot afford this much of a fee increase. I spoke to both the manager and owner about the increase, but they were unmoved. The sense I get is that management is fine with cutting out long time members to make way for new people that will pay the higher prices. Good I guess, if you can get it. Xcel is a nice gym, but there are certainly other options. I signed up at EOS Fitness in Murray, a short distance away from Xcel. Much lower membership fees than Xcel with everything I need in a gym. In fact, there are some things I like better than Xcel.

Newer to xcel! So far we love it! Childcare is the reason we came here but probably not the reason we stay! I love that the reformer Pilates is included with our membership and they have a wide variety of classes. I just wish they had more evening sessions that lined up with kids care! I'd easily prefer 5:30pm yoga to body pump. We see the facility's very well kept we just wished the other patrons participated in upholding this. A lot of them just carry around their spray bottles rather then actually cleaning :( our main issue is really just that our app doesn't let us book classes or childcare which I like to do weeks in advance and I feel it is an annoyance on both ends to call in to schedule both kids care and classes. Otherwise we love it! Very safe, exclusive, environment couldn't be happier to be here!

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.

RACISTS AND LOOKING FOR A LAWSUIT! I came in this morning after calling LAST NIGHT to confirm that their gym would be open and accepting free trial members. The lady last night confirmed they would be open this morning and even if I was a trial member I could come in. A lot of gyms are closed due to the Coronavirus and social distancing. I drove 40 minutes to get to Xcel this morning and upon checking in. The guy in front turned me away because I was a free trial member. There was no disclaimer online when I signed up saying they were not accepting free trial members nor were there signs outside their door saying they won't be allowing free trial members in.

IT MADE NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE HE LATER STATED IF I PAID FOR THEIR MEMBERSHIP ($200 UP FRONT) THEN I COULD GO IN! THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I don't even know if I would like your gym to be able to sign up for a membership that's why I'm doing the free trial. They're taking advantage of other gyms closing and knowing they're open they want to force people to sign up in order to use their facility at a time like this. Nowhere on their website does it say they aren't accepting free trial members. What difference does it make between me going in with the free trial vs paying your ridiculous $200 up front fee without trying your gym first?! I'm still the same person going into the gym the SAME DAY except that you're having me pay before even trying out the gym to see if I like it enough to become a member! You guys are horrible

Came to Xcel Fitness for a CrossFit yelp event! Class was awesome. So much energy! Got to hear a little about Xcel and how it became about. Atmosphere seems nice. They have a little cafe inside, day care, sauna and hot tubs in locker room, variety of workout classes! Yoga, Pilates, CrossFit, and spin! Didn't seem crowded. Variety of equipment with multiple ones of the same one not just 1-2. Made the atmosphere so that you can work in groups. Super clean gym! Loved the class and gym itself! Should definitely try their 3 day class pass you can use everything- including the classes!

Xcel is my safe space. It's one of my favorite places on the planet. The staff is very nice and very friendly whenever I come in. Most of the people at the front desk go out of their way to get to know everyone on a first name basis

Xcel offers a three day free trial. If I can give you any advice it is this: if you aren't willing to pay ~$80 for a gym membership, DO NOT TRY THIS GYM FOR FREE because you will fall in love. I used to go to Planet Fitness for $10 a month since it was functional enough. Then I moved and I wasn't a fan of the Planet Fitness near me, so I checked out VASA. Holy hell, VASA gets busy. Good luck trying to get on the equipment you want. Wanna know what Xcel's expensive membership gives you? A gym without all the crowds. You won't have to wait for a squat rack, or for a weight machine, or any of the cardio equipment. They get busy, but not to the point where your workout will suffer.

This gym is functional and offers everything you can imagine. It's ridiculously clean too. They offer classes at an additional cost. I'm bummed they charge extra, but they included a couple free passes when I joined so I'm still excited to try barre, pilates, anti-gravity yoga, etc.

Also, after coming from Planet Fitness, I expected this gym to be very intimidating. Maybe it is at first, but for the most part it's very welcoming. People aren't judging you or watching you because they are too focused on their own workout. Honestly, if you live in the area check it out. I'm convinced it's the best gym in the area.

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 trainers
Shake 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 Xcel for 14 years and I've watched this gym change quite a bit, but it's never lost it's top notch rating for me.
