Reviews of Kvell Fitness and Nutrition
Amariah Luotonen
My husband and I have started going to classes here within the past couple of months. We have enjoyed every second of it! I have played sports most of my life and am very active. My husband has less of an active lifestyle and background, yet we are both able to get in an effective and fitness level appropriate workout within 45 minutes! We have worked with Glenn and Holly so far and they are always there to make sure we are using proper form to maximize our efforts and prevent injury. The classes build a sense of community that beats working out by yourself in a large gym chain. We love “Owning It!” each time we go and look forward to many more sweats there! I highly recommend Kvell to anyone looking to start or advance their fitness journey!
Brigette Casillas
I joined Kvell Fitness because I wanted to finally invest in myself and my overall health. Everyone at the gym is very friendly and the workout groups become a mini community of support. I have had them create specific strength training to help with some long term back and hip problems and having targeted focus has produced noticeable results that will be beneficial now and in the future.
I would highly recommend Kvell Fitness to anyone that wants to get into a great workout routine and meet some amazing trainers, in particular Andrew Fletcher.
Brock Eaton
I’ve been attending workouts for just over 2 months now and the overall experience has been great. The workouts are designed to be flexible and challenge you at your current level of fitness. The coaches are very friendly and provide great instructions for adjusting form for better results. Very welcoming, I would encourage anyone interested to try Kvell.
Maddyson Davis
Kvell is awesome! Going to the gym has always been an intimidating thing for me, but since going to Kvell I always feel confident walking through those doors and ready to get to work! They show you how to do the exercises properly and care about your overall well being, not just getting the workout done! The coaches are amazing at guiding you through the workouts and giving you ways to adjust to your physical needs! I definitely will continue recommending Kvell to anyone looking to find their new favorite gym. 🤩
David Andrews
I've said it before, these guys deserve 6 stars, best gym and workout experience I have ever had. I had been a Kvell member for six years, and since Covid started I spent two years doing many of the exercises I learned at Kvell in my "home gym"(garage). It feels so good to be back in the gym, being coached, feeling motivated by fellow members and coaches, meeting people, seeing and feeling immediate results. Hands down, great experience!!!
Lauren Dustin
A great local gym in the Boise area featuring group fitness and personal training. Andrew + Glenn we’re both very welcoming from the moment I walked in—there is a strong sense of community and loyalty. Workouts are 45 minutes, the first 20 minutes include foam rolling and stretching, the back half includes cardio and strength, with programming that rotates every 3 weeks. A great location for a quick workout to get you moving, and a welcoming environment.
Dave Foss
I’ve joined your typical gym before with a treadmill, bike, elliptical, along with free weights and machines. It last about 3 weeks for me.
I had drove and walked by Kvell for a couple of months. It was different in the sense we’re working out in a group and there are free weights but no treadmill, bikes, or machines.
I was so out of shape and no history of exercising. My first day I was exhausted after the warm up. Numerous members encouraged me to keep coming. I have. I’m still exhausted when I leave, but it is better. I’m 68 years old with two new knees. I have improved my overall condition significantly, and actually have quads and calf’s. My posture is significantly improved.
I go four times a week. I started at three times then increased because I enjoy it. There are a lot of very fit people and people like me on the other end of the spectrum. People are friendly and supportive. Instructors are helpful and encouraging.
Go and commit to a month, it gets better and is fun once you get going. Just get going.
Kevin McReynolds
I have been coming to Kvell for at least four years at least. It's probably the only thing in my life that doesn't change. I took time off to deal with some health issues but felt like I was missing something. They helped me get back into the swing of things when I came back. After a month, I felt I had found exactly what I was missing. I consider the team family. The trainers know what they are doing. They help you make safe adjustments when needed and they know when to give you that little push.
Joshua Crotinger
Great gym, I see myself coming here for a long time. Excellent programming, very friendly and helpful coaches, welcoming atmosphere all around. Workouts are appropriately intense, impactful, and designed in a way to actually make you stronger.
Highly recommend.
Carrie Miles
Kvell is the best, unique gym in Boise! It's a positive, supportive community and we all have similar goals in mind- fitness, strength training, cardio and nutrition. Kvell encompasses a "forever" healthy lifestyle in body and spirit. From group classes to personal training and supportive coaches, your goals are attainable! Nik, Kvell's personal trainer is awesome!!! He is excellent at incorporating your own personal goals into your individualized work out plan. His attention to detail, knowledge, observing your movement abilities and your objectives make for a fun, positive, successful training plan.
Kvell is the place to be!!!!
Pam Smart
I love Kvell. I've been going for over 6 months and my fitness has increased drastically. I am in the best pre-ski season shape of my life and my bike season was so much better this year than ever before. I appreciate that the workouts change constantly and align with upcoming seasons. The coaches are great as well; extremely supportive and work to ensure efficient workouts with good form. The fact that they encourage good technique and body position over "lifting heavy" reinforces that they are working for long-term success and avoiding injury. I appreciate the accountability that a group workout session provides, so these workouts have been a great fit for me. And the fact that the class is 45 minutes and fits into my lunch break makes it less of an obstacle for me to get a great workout in on a regular basis.
Trina
I've been a member at other places and usually wound up hurting myself because I was trying to keep up with serious athletes. I'm not athletic, but I really enjoy the Kvell workouts. The warm up is thorough, and the trainers are roaming the floor at all times to instruct and monitor your form. Glen also helps to keep me focused on which exercise I should be doing rather than, well, let's just say that my mind tends to wander.
Overall, Kvell is a great place to condition your body, build strength, and prepare for the upcoming rigorous gardening season!
Thanks to all of the trainers. I am stronger because of Kvell, and for the first time in my life, I look forward to exercise classes!
Katrina Burkhardt
If you are looking for a full body workout in 45 minutes then this is your place. Every three weeks is a new phase and each phase challenges my body in different ways. I continually feel like my body is changing and growing stronger. Come check it out, you won’t regret it!
Christina Sonner
I have been going to kvell for 7 years now and I go because I have never experienced this level of fitness and nutrition anywhere else. It challenges me in so many different ways and keeps me wanting more for myself. I hope I can continue to come for years to come.
Alexandra Egland
Kvell is the place to be! I just recently joined in the past few weeks and am so impressed with how accessible it is to work out here! I am someone who has always dreaded working out. I decided to try out Kvell, and am so happy I did! I want to build healthy work out habits now instead of waiting until it's too late, and this is the place to do it! The team at Kvell is all types of people and bodies- I never feel like I have to compete with others outside of my fitness realm. The level system of tailoring workouts to where you are at in your fitness goals is key to feeling like you can really do the moves. The workouts are 45 minutes- you can do anything for 45 minutes! I appreciate the coaching that happens when I am working to make sure I am doing the moves right and not going to put anything in motion to hurt myself. The coaches also know when to push you to make gains in a way that is positive and encouraging. The scheduling process is easy to sign up for classes. Things are very socially distanced in class as well. I am excited to keep up the intensity at Kvell!
Sarah Zarchin
I've been working with a personal trainer here. Nik is definitely the best coach! I'm working with a chronic injury and Nik has helped me TONS. He's very smart and professional, and makes working out fun! He customizes each person's plan to their specific goals and limitations. Nik has helped me in gaining mobility and strength and overall increasing my work capacity. Highly recommend working at Kvell with Nik!
Malisa Gonzales
I have been going to Kvell for about a month now and I legit couldn't be happier.
My personal trainer, Nik, is amazing. He makes me feel comfortable yet still challenges me to give it my all. Nik is super knowledgeable and genuinely wants to see me succeed. He teaches me HOW to best train so that I can be self reliant in my activity.
The environment is always inviting and empowering. They ultimately want you to be successful. The varied class times allow me to either go before work, at lunch, or after. I have 4 kids, a full-time time demanding job, and a spouse. Finding time to invest in me is super hard.
I am seeing a big change in my body already. I'm stronger and leaner. Not only do you get bang for your buck in the 45 min total body group classes, but they offer incentives for just showing up. On top of rebates for attendance, they do random prizes like massages, facials, cash + charitable donation match, etc.
All the staff are friendly, encouraging, and provide the positive accountability that keeps you on track. No matter your current fitness level, Kvell has the ability to meet you where you are and help you build on that.
I will be encouraging anyone who is ready to transform their bodies and minds to give Kvell a try. I don't leave many reviews so know that I mean every word of this review.
Hannah Pugh
I've been working with Nik, Kvell’s personal trainer, and can’t speak highly enough of him. Nik the best! I'm a runner working through some injuries (post-PT) and Nik has helped me so much. He is careful to tailor my workouts to what I really need/want and provides corrections/information so that I get the most out of it. I have definitely increased my strength but I’ve also learned so much. I would recommend working with Nik to anyone!
Heather Stinemates
If you join Kvell, you join an awesome community! The 45 minute sessions are perfect along with the outstanding coaches. The 5am crew is terrific!
Robin Gates
I’m a 54 year old woman and started Kvell 8 months ago, going twice a week. The workouts are relatively short and make everyone (regardless of fitness level) feel included and comfortable. Total judgement free zone!!! What I’ve noticed over the last 8 months is a complete change in my muscle tone. What I mean by that is not that I’ve “bulked up” but things that used to not be firm are now firm. I have arm muscles again! Ive slowly increased the weights and level of difficulty (optional for all). My balance has gotten a lot better too which is something I’ve always struggled with. My husband and I make this into date night a couple of nights a week. Shout out to the trainers! They are great at what they do. I highly recommend Kvell!!!!
Jeff Lyu
Was in Boise for a short trip, and stopped by a few times. Efficient workout, good space, plenty of equipment, and friendly people and coaches. They have a well thought out program for people who live here as well.
Marley Marshall
I have been working out at Kvell for over nine years and continue to I love it. Five stars all the way around. It is the engaged coaches, the positive motivating environment and the variety of the workouts that keep me coming back. Workouts are challenging for any level and the community is fun and supporting!
Kevin Harvey
One my favorite aspects of Kvell is the coaching. Brett and all the coaches constantly circulate, monitor everyone's form and suggest corrections as necessary. They also sometimes suggest a higher or lower weight so we get the most benefit from the workout.
I have limited motion in one shoulder from a skiing accident and the coaches accomodate the limitation with different exercises.
I also enjoy the varied workout routines to keep things fresh.
Everyone is friendly and supportive and sometimes there are a lot of laughs.
I've been going there for a while and I've noticed they always greet new people and help them integrate into the program. Sometimes the newbie is even paired with an experienced person which helps the newbie learn the routines faster.
I've tried other places but Kvell is by far the best.
Elizabeth Gibson
Just before I learned about Kvell, I realized that, for fitness, the most important thing for me is to be strong. I’m hoping that being strong will enable me to fully participate in life and everything else will follow. Most fitness regimens worked for me in the past but, at 50, I seemed to have lost my response to quick dieting and sticktoitiveness. The employees at Kvell are supportive and everyone is super friendly. Classes are 45 minutes and roughly divided into a 15 minute warmup and 30 minutes of workout. This time allocation is quite doable, fun and feels great. Kvell suits all levels and adapts for injury. The defining point for me, is that I keep going back. Kvell is unique to Boise and a true gem, try it.
Took a break during Covid and started back up with the personal coaching Kvell sessions, which are awesome! I have an individualized program and Nik makes sure I'm using the right form, which gives me a good foundation as my strength training progresses. Nik is great at explaining while offering encouragement and I’m loving it and staying motivated. I was hesitant to pay more for the personal sessions, but I look at it as an investment in a healthy retirement, plus it’s making me feel great now. You’re worth it too, and as I said above, try it!
Erin Hudson
Great coaches, fast results and a workout is great for anyone - from beginner to seasoned athlete, there are levels built within each movement to ensure everyone is having an experience that works best for them. Coaches are also great to help members make adjustments to their movements to avoid injury and to get the most out of the workout. Lastly, I sincerely appreciate Kvell pivoting during this never-ending pandemic by creating classes for vaccinated members that require masks. I felt my concerns were heard and I feel very safe in the gym every time I go in.
Jason Spillman
After several months on a successful weight loss journey, I was in need of an avenue to take my fitness to the next level. Kvell has totally fit the bill! The workouts are well-balanced and efficient, and there’s definitely something in it for all types of folks. The movements are great at getting me out of the rut of “typical” things I was doing, and the overall environment is welcoming and fun. Feeling much stronger, younger, and happier. Thanks, Kvell!
Shaine Smith
Stop searching and just go. There are a million gyms and trainers out there, figuring out which one is exhausting. You've stumbled upon a gem. I checked out Kvell and i'm hooked. It's friendly, fun, engaging and as hard as you want to make it. It's coach-led group training (unless you're doing personal stuff). You're always grouped with people so you what what to do and where to go, that's super nice. You're not just standing there confused, you're working and sweating. I've done 3 workouts so far, and I have had a trainer form-check me and give me tips on every single movement so far. Super nice and helpful. You have an app that you schedule through and I feel it makes you accountable, because you're not "in the system." The hardest part of any workout is getting off the couch. So seriously, give it a try, everyone is super supportive, zero attitude, zero judging and there to work while having fun and suffering in a good way.
Diana Parker
Kvell is a super efficient, very friendly, clean and an excellent gym to help me get back into the best shape of my life. Within three weeks, I'm feeling stronger, more confident and motivated to show up and do the work. My trainer is always positive, listens to any concerns and cheers me on. I highly recommend Kvell!
Allison Musgrave
If you are looking for a community not just a gym this is the place to be! Kvell has become my second home and to be honest I quite like it! They make it extremely easy to schedule classes by using an app and I enjoy how they do personal training. Andrew is a wonderful coach and is passionate about helping me reach my goals. 10/10 would recommend!!
Douglas Kelly
I've been going to Kvell for about six months. The group workouts are effective (I've grown stronger and lost some weight) and happen at convenient times. Members are diverse in terms of age, body shape, gender, and fitness levels. Friendly and inclusive gym. Andrew is a terrific personal trainer, probably the best I've ever had. Keep it up Kvell!
Jaime Russell
Glenn has been great! I drag my sorry tail in there three times a week, and he's always upbeat. He REALLY knows his forms, and constantly helps you to do your best work for the best results. I have not worked out in many years, but I am still going, so that says a lot about how great they are! It's super quick (only 45 minutes in and out), and you really feel in all muscles groups that it's working. If you haven't had any success being motivated at box gyms, this is the place for you!
Carrie
I was looking for a new gym to join. Kvell is different from an ordinary "treadmill" gym. Their programs are well rounded workouts. Strength, flexibility, balance and cardio all wrapped into one. It's so much fun!!
Andrew is wonderful. He listens to what you want to achieve and puts together a personal work out plan. In addition Kvell offers a nutrition program. I highly recommend you check out Kvell fitness. It's a new way to get a fun, great workout. You will be very happy with your results!
Monica Tenaya
One of my favorite things about Kvell is the community. Everyone is always smiling and there to have a good time working out. There are a ton of class options so it’s really easy to find one that works for my across the board schedule.
I like the flow of the work outs and I feel like the way they format the work outs is more sustainable for body longevity then CrossFit.
Kevin McDonald
Friends of mine have been taking classes at Kvell for the last several months. I was hesitant to join them because I thought I needed more than weightlifting. After taking several classes I've already started to see the benefit to this kind of functional workout.
The coaches are very helpful, friendly and well trained.
Kvell And their full body workouts have become an Intercal part of my training program.
Megumi Meldrum
I absolutely love this gym! Its an amazing sense of community and everyone is so positive and helpful. I did the group classes along with personal training and loved both. Andrew, the personal trainer is amazing and all of the coaches are very good at helping accommodate any special needs or preferences. The one downside I would say is that there aren't a ton of class times if you work longer hours(i.e. no 5 am class everyday), but still enough that you can go a few times a week. Overall I would definitely recommend giving it a try! I travel a lot for work and loved it enough that I am doing a virtual subscription to be able to workout with them at my next job site!
K Shrader
Kvell is a fantastic way to start the day off bright and early. The workouts are efficient and surprised me with how quickly I saw progress in the mirror at home and in my body movement throughout the day. The coaches walk through the entire circuit, constantly, helping ensure correct posture and targeting muscle groups. Thank you for the challenge.
Alexis Gillum
Amazing place! The coaches always make sure you are comfortable and confident in your workout! A short 45 minute session fits perfect into your day! They have multiple different levels to fit your exercising experience and they make sure your form is good for a safe workout! My husband and I love going and definitely will continue going!
Rachel Piscette
I love working out at Kvell! I have recently gotten back into exercise after having a baby, and they have been really helpful and mindful of how to get back into shape post-baby. I attend their vaxxed and masked classes, so I feel safe while working out. I definitely recommend this gym if you like group exercise and the benefits of personal training without the expense.
Carol Schoenherr
KVELL is great! I really enjoy the workouts and love that I can get full-body resistance training in a 45 minute class 2 or 3 times a week. I think Brett really understands what movements are important to increase strength and reduce injuries. KVELL is the foundation of my exercise routine, and I do other activities feeling more confident that I won’t get injured. Joining KVELL has been a great decision for me.
Betsy Dunklin
While at 72 I’m very much an outlier among the Kvell clientele, I still enjoy these effective and efficient workouts, offered at different levels of ability, to build strength and lower my percentage of body fat. Since the pandemic, I’ve taken advantage of their great online workouts. While I miss the music and camaraderie of the in-person classes and the enthusiastic trainers, I’m grateful to have a safe way to continue my fitness regimen. They know how to build a supportive community focused on everyday health and fitness. Kvell is worth every penny and really is quite affordable for what you get. Health is wealth!
Jeff Sykes
Getting exercise is never easy. I joined Kvell several months ago with a friend I found it to be the best investment I’ve ever made in myself in a long time. Kvell makes it easy to schedule classes and there are plenty of them. The Kvell app works great and the trainers are excellent.The workouts are to your ability but are intense and quick which I appreciate. Great gym. 5 stars.
Brienne Dyer
Kvell is the best! I’ve been a member since 2014 and nothing can beat the staff, the workout, the members, and the total experience! I took a hiatus from the gym during peak pandemic times, but kept up the workouts from home thanks to the awesome flexibility and creativity of the owner. I returned last year and I AM SO GLAD TO BE BACK!!! The facility is super clean and the community feel of the workouts is motivating and inspiring! I love Kvell!
Charlotte Thomas
In the last 11 years I’ve worked for / worked out in a lot of different fitness facilities in Boise - Kvell know what they’re doing. They have every portion of their program dialed in. For me - a 45 minute class is optimal. The coaches are clearly knowledgeable and they actively show they care / believe in the program. The day I attended my second class it was a coach I hadn’t met the prior visit - he greeted me by name. Meaning he had actively reviewed the class roster and saw my photo. That’s huge. That goes beyond customer service. I’m on my second week and I continue to be impressed / look forward to classes.
Thom Bruce
Great gym! Awesome individualized training! I was looking for semi-private lessons to avoid large gym crowds. Kvell had exactly what I was looking for! The gym is spotless and the trainer’s focus on form and individual progress is motivating and effective! Highly recommended either for group classes, or for those like me looking for something smaller, semi-private lessons. The Kvell total body workout method is outstanding!
Arita Borgesen
Relatively new to the Boise area and have been looking for a gym where they offer strength training and cardio in a class setting. Very happy to have found Kvell Fitness. I had an initial consultation with Andrew and that was helpful to see if this would be a good fit for me. Since then I have been going regularly and the instructors (Andrew, Glen, Holly) and classes are awesome . Good variety of strength training exercises, help from instructors on technique, friendly and good work out environment.
Definitely one of the best parts of my day is getting the 45 minute workout in at Kvell.
G SurBoi
Kvell has been a great find for me. There is excellent focus on injury prevention and stretching, which has sidelined my training in the past. I also like the fact that there are no MIRRORS in the gym, so there are no distractions. It's very easy for me to just focus on what I'm doing, and not be self conscious about the surroundings. Value-wise, I think the pricing is affordable to a 40+ crowd, and there are pricing incentives for showing up x times a month. So if you are consistently going, you pay less. Parking is easy and the scheduled workouts work well for both mornings and late afternoons. Finally, the trainers are really nice people and DON'T push supplements or other add-ons, which is refreshing. I really appreciate the opportunity to workout at Kvell and the personal attention I'm able to get, and I'm starting to actually think I might be able to get back in shape someday!
Nick Smith
I was a bit hesitant to join due to the group setting, after having lifted weights on my own and done at-home workout programs. There is a difference between being busy and effective. I’ve had success working out on my own, but I love how the structure of Kvell takes any guesswork out of it. It’s set up well to accommodate all types of fitness levels and allows you to progress the right way with whatever your goals are. I’m a 34 year old male and I really enjoy the well-rounded, timed workouts/rest periods. The class times are flexible, and I love working out my entire body multiple times a week instead of alternating muscle groups. Also, the more you workout, the less the membership costs. You can ease in or jump in with both feet, either way, this is a great place to workout!
Gabby Dorsch
I started going to Kvell after having a gym membership for almost a year and only going ONCE.. yes, I was paying for a gym I never went to. I needed to get out of my comfort zone and try a workout that I know would change my body and challenge my mind. I'm now 4 months in and I'm hooked, I've already noticed changes in my strength but I've mostly noticed how much more energy I have and motivation to keep my body moving throughout the day. Kvell is a place where you cheer your neighbor on, work hard, and feel the benefits of strength training not only physically but mentally as well. EVERYONE is welcome here regardless of what level of fitness you are at. Sign up, and you won't regret it.
Kim Sanchez
Ending my 3rd week of one of Kvell's challenges and it has been one of the better decisions I have made for my health. I recommend giving Kvell a try no matter what shape your in! I love that they accommodate the exercises to the level that you can do when you 1st start out, or if you have an injury to avoid further problems. I love the 45 min classes from 5 am to the evenings. I also really like that you go and do what you can without feeling like others are watching and judging you because everyone is busy doing their own best! Overall I have felt better then I have in a long time with Kvell's help on nutrition as well. Definitely check them out!
Sydney Therrien
After falling out of a fitness routine and moving to Boise 3 months ago, I needed to find a new gym and workout routine I could get excited about and stick with. I am thrilled to have found Kvell - after one workout, I knew this is a gym I will stick with for years to come! The workouts are constantly changing so it never gets boring, and everyone is so welcoming and helpful. The 45 minute classes completely fly by! I truly look forward to going and working hard and have seen subtle changes in my body and fitness level after just a few weeks. I can't recommend Kvell highly enough!!
Aaron Varela
This is the best gym I've gone to. If you want to work different muscle groups every day, have a great environment, see results, and be responsible for your own journey. This is the place. Yes, you will be sore for some of the workouts. But they change things up daily and keep it interesting. At the beginning my form was terrible for most workouts. Brett, Glenn, and other trainers have helped me with this, and helped me to become a better me too. Without sounding and being disingenuous, this is honestly the best gym outline I've experienced. If used correctly you can change yourself immensely. I have and do advise all of my friends to join this journey.
Kerry Bruce
I started personal training with Kvell 4 weeks ago, because I didn't feel comfortable with classes given COVID at the moment. It has been fantastic! I am getting a much more focused workout and most importantly a lot of help with form. The workout is tailored to my level of fitness and is a full body workout. I can already see progress towards better overall strength. I am looking forward to using these skills in the regularly scheduled classes at some point too!
Paul Graham
The KVELL trainers are great with first timers. I was a little nervous before my first group training session but I didn't need to be. You are made to feel very welcome, every exercise is explained in detail, there are multiple options depending on your fitness/experience level and you get a great all-body workout in such a short time. Awesome.
Jessica Wagner
I’m a former athlete from many, many years ago and have missed feeling like an athlete. I have been exercising, but never felt fit, nor did I get the experience I was looking for from other gyms/studios. I’ve been going to KVell consistently for 3 weeks now and I think every muscle in my body has been sore, but In the way you want it. The trainers are friendly and share feedback directly and with no judgement. The members are also welcoming! I don’t feel like I’m just working out, I feel like I’m training with my team and it’s great! I’m headed there shortly!
Mykeah Kranzler
I started working out at Kvell a few years after my daughter was born. I remember the first time I finished a workout and I thought I might die! But I kept going, and man was I glad I did. I can honestly say that I was in the best shape of my life while attending Kvell. At one point, I could actually complete 10 pull ups, something I had NEVER been able to do! Great energy, encouraging staff, and a definite feeling of camaraderie with all of the members. I highly recommend joining Kvell - you won't be sorry.
Jamie M.
I was looking a personal training experience but in a group setting. I was also looking for a program that incorporated strength training movements along with HIIT sprinkled in. Kvell hit all of these marks. They have 3 different movement options for each exercise so you can scale your workout up or down depending on what you need. It really is a personalized experience and the coaches are great about form corrections. It's very clean and well organized. Thanks Kvell!
Airielle Moore
After a year hiatus due to Covid, I am back at Kvell and so happy to be there. I love that the space is clean, equipped with everything you will need to maximize your workout, and the coaches are awesome. With convenient daily times and workouts that can be geared towards beginners and advanced alike, Kvell is extremely inclusive. I think it is pretty telling that the place is full of many of the same faces I was used to seeing years ago, and everyone is always happy to see each other and extremely supportive. Get ready to feel the burn! It will be worth it.
Paul Simmonds
Kvell is great. I am a pretty active person who swims and plays soccer but I was a complete newcomer to working out in a "gym" environment. Everyone has made me feel really welcome and has been super helpful with teaching me the proper way to do the various movements and exercises. I was worried that gyms might be full of "meatheads" but Kvell is the complete opposite of that atmosphere with people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. I have been coming for almost 2 months now and can see clear results - I'm building muscle, losing fat, and getting stronger and fitter overall. I totally recommend Kvell!
Cailin Wilson
Kvell is great! Super focused, high intensity workout that works for all fitness levels. The coaches are right there motivating you and showing you proper form. A lot of times you end up with the same core group of people in your classes, so you build a community of people that are there to help and support you. I highly recommend!
Tina Wilkerson
I joined Kvell 3.5 weeks ago, trying the 21 days for $1 intro and by day 2 I knew I was hooked! Prior to Kvell I was struggling getting back into a workout routine and was not self motivated the way I have been in the past. Kvell is a welcoming environment that encourages and supports various fitness levels. There are 3 levels, and I have already gained strength and improved to the point in 3 weeks that I can do the highest level in some movements. I feel stronger, I have more energy, and appreciate the flexibility of classes to work with my schedule.
I was in a bit of a fitness rut and joining Kvell has completely turned things around for me. The professional and knowledgeable staff encourage and provide guidance during the workouts to ensure you are doing the movements correctly to avoid any injuries. I also love that there is a new workout everyday that focuses on different areas of strength and fitness training.
I would recommend Kvell to anyone who has a desire to find inspiration and real results in a supportive community. I tell all my friends about it and will continue to do so!!! 5 stars all the way!!
Alexa Ries
Kvell has changed my life. The trainers are the most supportive, judge-free people you will come across in the fitness industry. A lot of the trainers started as members, so they understand the workouts. I love that the classes are only 45 mins, great for busy people! I look forward to my workouts each week. That says a lot because I use to dread going to the gym. Do yourself a favor and try a class, you'll be hooked!
Sara Simmonds
Kvell is so much more than a gym. It’s a community. People of every level of fitness and ability are welcomed and encouraged to reach their goals. The sessions take the guesswork out of what you should be doing. All you have to do is show up and put in the work for 45 mins. I went from not working out to working out 4 times a week. After three months I have seen gains in my strength and overall fitness, but more importantly it has elevated my mood and self confidence!
AJ Gravel
As a former athlete who has been missing structure and accountability in my workouts, I have come to appreciate Kvell's personalized fitness routines and sense of community. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable and have kept me motivated to reach my fitness goals. Definitely would recommend to anyone tired of the same old gym routine and tired of not seeing results!
Ben Sitz
I love working out here even though I leave every time feeling spent. The focus on a full body workout with a focus on overall strength that will lead to lifelong fitness is paramount for me. I hike/run alot and I definitely notice increased strength and stamina. Lastly, the awesome trainers and other community members make it a joy to attend, everyone is supportive of each other. Would highly recommend this place to anyone and all abilities.
Heather Harradine
I have been actively working out at Kvell for over 4 years. Great class schedule with involved coaches. From varied workouts, daily emails, regular challenges and a focus on health, I am happy to have found a gym that wants the best for me and provided the fitness results I was looking for.
William Patterson
It has been a long road back from an illness and some injuries that had seen my physical health decline drastically. After a period of intensive physical therapy and rehabilitation, the next phase was to regain stength and functional mobility. After a fairly intensive search and in consultation with my physical therapist, I decided to go with Kvell Fitness. I havent regretted that decision for a minute.
The first thing that made a lasting impression was the amount of assessment that went into developing a specific plan for my individual short and long terms objectives, and taking into account my current physical limitations, as well as a roadmap to working towards overcoming them. The work that has been laid out for me is challenging, but its achievable. And I receive direct coaching and encouragement from my trainer, who has done a great job adapting on the fly to mechanical limitations.
Kvell is not a gym to go wander around and workout your own program. But if you're looking for a carefully guided approach to fitness or performance for your specific objectives, i would highly recommend you consider Kvell.
Craig Roth
Brett and the rest of the Kvell staff are fitness experts. Brett's program is quick, easy and fun. Most importantly, his program is effective and has been vital to maintaining a high level of participation in the activities I enjoy outside of the gym!
Katie Smith
I love Kvell! I like the instruction and they think of all fitness levels in the group classes. It makes me as someone who is out of shape feel included and able to help me get started on my fitness goals. I also love the fast paced circuit/HIIT full body type of work out with a focus on form and making sure no one injures them selves. Great for Men and women and all fitness levels! Tons of class times to accommodate busy schedules
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Idaho
We were the beneficiaries (and participants) of "Workout for a Cause" and we had a tremendous time. Brett and the team at Kvell have created a great atmosphere that encourages functional health in both the individual and the community! Kvell is a great asset to the Treasure Valley... and we were just the right amount of sore the next day!
val drager
I would recommend Kvell Fitness in Boise for anyone looking for an efficient and unique workout. That is why I joined. Bands, balls, weights we use it all. There are 3 options for the days workout so regardless of fitness level you can join. Having coaches walking the floor to provide direction is something I haven't gotten anyplace else either. Try the 21 days for $1 and see what I mean, it's an addiction!
Cory Carone
My wife and I tried the 21 days for $1 special, and we've been hooked ever since. The workouts vary and are really well structured, so you never get bored and feel like you're always improving. Signing up for classes in advance helps us stay accountable to work out 3 times per weeks. The coaches are great, providing advice and motivation throughout each workout. Definitely give Kvell a try, it's well worth it!
Grace Guryan
Kvell is a true gem! The workouts are phenomenal. They're always challenging, but every exercise can be scaled up or down to match your fitness level. I love that I can get a great workout done in under an hour and the atmosphere is fun and energetic. The community is also amazing and everyone is friendly and respectful. I was really nervous about going back to a gym after a year of being sedentary due to COVID, but the few months I've been going to Kvell have been nothing but positive. I can't recommend this place enough!
Amanda Rand
I have been working out at Kvell for almost a year and it has been the most rewarding experience. The coaches are amazing, very attentive and encouraging. I am constantly being challenged with the 3 week rotation for workouts. There is something for every level of fitness, whether your are a beginner, an expert or anywhere in between. The community is awesome! The environment is upbeat and positive. Members encourage and support one another. This has been the best place to go after my health and fitness goals.
Shalini Ramachandran
They give you a full 21 days to try out their gym. It's a well-balanced approach that hits strength and endurance while keeping injury risk low. I like that they incentivize regular attendance by lowering the monthly fee for higher attendance. You can start at any level of fitness and build up. It is a welcoming and inclusive group. I would recommend Kvell to anyone interested in a sustainable fitness program that yields results.
Lois Borelli
Kvell has been just the place I was looking for to get me back into exercising.
Brett has done such a great job with each 45 minute workout that has three different levels for where your are at in your journey. There is absolutely no pressure and the staff is right there with you as you learn how to navigate the moves and do them correctly. The classes are challenging and motivational.
Easy on-line booking keeps the classes small and the gym is a great , clean atmosphere. I also really enjoy the weekly blogs sent to motivate your workout-they are awesome!
I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to tone up ,build muscle or get back into exercise !
Will Holloway
I heard about Kvell from some good friends who were loving it and they mentioned all the right things I was looking for in a group fitness gym. Happy to say that having taken several classes, Kvell is the right place to help me meet both my mind and body goals. The environment is clean, energetic and welcoming.
One of the things I like most, is that the classes are designed for all fitness levels, and it gives you the opportunity to work on areas you need help with, and/or challenge yourself in areas you are stronger in.
Another thing that is great about Kvell, is the focus on mobility and recovery. Starting each class with foam rolling and active stretching has been a huge help in getting me to my next workout recovered and ready to go.
Hope to see you there!
Gina Lockwood
2 years ago I hit a wall and couldn't get inspired to workout. Then I tried Kvell out for 21 days for $1 and have been there ever since. Brett has routines planned for every week that motivate, and help develop strength and positive well-being. I've recently finished a challenge promoting real food and feel like I'm getting back on track after the year of COVID. It's part of my lifestyle now and would encourage anyone that is seeking amazing trainers and a gym that truly cares about you, Kvell Fitness and Nutrition is the place for you!
Amanda Bartlett
Kvell is the best!. The coaches will help you own and achieve your fitness goals. I love the structure - you can be in and out in 45 minutes. I love that the workouts are designed to meet you where you are - from beginner to beast master. I love the feedback you get- even in a group class you get personalized attention. The environment is professional and encouraging. Kvell removes a lot of the barriers I usually have to working out (I don’t have time, I don’t know what I am doing, I am discouraged and don’t know where to begin). In return, I go consistently. I am finally making progress after feeling like I had stalled out.
**UPDATE **As a testament to the effectiveness, I wanted to update my review by sharing that Kvell helped me hit a 15+ year goal - I did my first unassisted pull-up! When I started, I couldn't do a single push up. I am so grateful to the entire Kvell community for helping me reach my goals in and out of the gym.
Maynard Davis
Highly Highly recommend Kvell. I've been going for about a year and half and there’s nothing else like Kvell…best workout, best trainers, best members, best atmosphere and culture. They really are the best. Brett and his team couldn’t be more welcoming. The place is spotless, very well equipped and organized. All the trainers are very professional and make everyone feel welcome and comfortable. And as well the members are very friendly and have made it very easy for the new member to fit right in. Hands down the very best gym in Boise, I can’t recommend Kvell enough.
Holli Anderson
I have been working out at Kvell for over 6 months, and cannot say enough positive things about this gym. The trainers are authentic and passionate about helping you achieve your fitness goals, the gym is spotless and comes equipped with everything you need (even hair-ties if you forget yours)! They also have a fit3D Scanner inside the gym to track your health metrics and posture. Whether you are new to working out or a hardcore trainer, you will feel welcome and at home within the Kvellian community. I would recommend Kvell to everyone, and can say with 100% certainty that it will be one of the best decisions you can make for yourself!
Shelley Zimmer
I’ve been a member of Kvell for five years. The training varies, so I never get bored. The nutrition training is simple and achievable. I recommend!
Michael Shea O'Donnell
My husband and I have been going to Kvell for the past few months, and we have really enjoyed it. The workouts are created so that we are comfortable with each move before increasing the intensity but change frequently enough so that we're never bored. Each workout is designed so that it can fit any fitness level or goal, and the instructors are great and very helpful. I always look forward to working out there.
Kelsey Givens
I was looking for a gym but needed classes as well. Kvell has the personal training side with a group but you without the intimidation. the work outs are challenging. Having the coaches there to correct technique has allowed me to increase how much I lift without any injury. I look forward to the 3 week sessions. By going 3 times a week I have seen the muscle gain I was hoping for and encouragement.
It is a very clean facility and has enough space to spread out.
Kimberly Boyer
I joined Kvell a month after moving to Boise. There were a few gyms in the area I wanted to try, however, my first day working out at Kvell, I knew this was the gym for me! Alyssa was my coach and she welcomed me in and could not have been nicer. Alyssa made me feel comfortable and less awkward being new. Brett, the owner and all of his staff are so professional and extremely knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. It’s obvious that Brett is committed to the health and well being of his members. There is a Facebook group you can join that connects you to other members so right away you are a part of the community of “Kvellians.” Brett also writes helpful posts that encourages and educates you in all areas of fitness both mental and physical fitness. There is a really nice camaraderie among the members and staff which makes this the best gym! I cannot say enough great things about this gym, I’m hooked and I encourage you to come in, give Kvell a try and sign up! It is only 1 dollar to join for 21 days! Such a great deal!
Zoe Miller
I was invited to "Bring a Friend" week at Kvell and after my first class, I could not wait to go again! Whether you are just beginning your fitness journey, or you are looking to take your fitness to the next level, Kvell offers something for everyone. The coaches are friendly, encouraging and provide guidance when needed. Coach Glenn, Sarah and Jake keep the atmosphere fun and motivational. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a truly unique fitness experience.
Bill Rauer
I became a Kvellian in December of 2019 and have not regretted it at all. Brett and Glenn have made it simpler for me to be consistent with my weekly workouts (even through the pandemic). Not only is my body stronger, but so are my mind and soul. Sign up and own it!
kavita patil
I love Kvell! I have been to many fitness classes and gyms and Kvell seems very special. They really care about fitness and really want their clients to actually attend the workout classes. In order to facilitate good attendance, Kvell offers rebate to those clients that show up at least certain times a week- what a great way to motivate folks! The exercise plan varies day to day and accommodates all fitness levels... the gym is very clean too. My only call out is regarding the number of classes offered- this could be due to covid- but there are very limited classes offered on certain days, e.g. Tuesday and Thursday there are only 2 morning classes. Overall, I love getting my workout here!!
Kelsey Jenkins
Kvell is really quite great. I was hesitant to attend any type of group fitness class, but the atmosphere and staff of Kvell assuaged my hesitations. The coaches are kind and encouraging, and they really know their stuff. Regardless of the class size, the coaches are attentive and give good feedback in terms of what I am doing incorrectly, and correctly. The people who attend classes are also awesome - welcoming, friendly. Which makes a huge difference in a group setting. The variation of exercises from day to day, and week to week, work out the entire body. I would recommend Kvell to anyone!
Dm
I started my fitness journey at the end of March/beginning of April of this year (2021). I searched online through various programs, and decided to try Kvell. They have an amazing option, 21 days for $1. Trust me, bypass the dollar menu and choose the 21 days. It's COMPLETLEY worth it!. I'm taking it a day at a time, and I selected to continue on this journey after my first 21 days expired. I'm someone who hasn't worked out regularly for over 20 years. I don't have healthy eating habits. All of this is changing slowly, and I feel myself caring more and more each day about these healthy disciplines. I had strong reservations about joining a group of people, but have found nothing but support from the trainers and other clients. A warm hello goes a long way. :) I'm not feeling the aches and pains in my joints that I was experiencing before starting Kvell. I've gained a few pounds of weight but feel stronger and more agile. I know that as I continue to make more and more consistent healthy choices, that I am going to continue to look and feel much better! I love the flexibility of selecting classes easily through the Kvell app, and any changes I've made with my card for payment have been super smooth. I have been recommending Kvell to everyone I talk with, and I believe as people see the changes in my life and improvement in my countenance and health, the results will speak for themselves. If you're looking to begin your own fitness journey or if you're just wanting an effective and down to earth place to grow as a person and in discipline, I highly recommend you check out Kvell in Boise or in Meridian.
Kat Fisher
I moved to Boise recently and was looking for a new gym. A few guys at my office raved about Kvell. I love classes and group fitness so I was excited to try it out. Both Glenn and Brett have been great instructors. The class sizes are not too small and not too big. The variety of the workouts is great, you're never doing the same thing two days in a row. And I love that classes are a quick 45 minutes but you still get a hard, full body workout. It's easy to pop in on days where you don't have a ton of time to dedicate to your sweat sesh. You can even opt-in to receive daily emails from Kvell that motivate you with fitness and nutrition ideas. Kvell will definitely motivate you to meet your goals!
Kendra Gould
5/5 stars for Kvell Boise! While I've only being going a short time, I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I love that the workouts cater to all different skill levels and that you don't have to be an elite athlete to enjoy this gym. Kvell has a very motivational atmosphere and the trainers take the time to help you maximize your workout and ensure you are doing everything correct. I highly recommend this gym!
Crystal Wink
I stay pretty active with various activities, but have been wanting to incorporate more strength based training into my routine. I’ve found it challenging to do so at my usual gym due to the limited availability of the group weight lifting classes and the intimidation of using weights on my own. Kvell has been amazing! I love the flexible schedule. The other members are friendly and encouraging for new starts and the staff is fantastic with helping you feel at ease and improving your technique. I’m only 6 weeks in and have already noticed improvements in strength and my range of motion!
Hilary Glad
When I first started working out at Kvell I had some unusual restrictions due to health challenges I had been dealing with. I had also become quite weak due to too many months of partial bed rest/movement restrictions. The trainers have all been amazing to work with. They have been great at working with the restrictions my doctors had given me and helped me adjust the workouts to meet me where I was while still pushing me just enough to help me improve. I was never a person who enjoyed going to the gym but Kvell has changed that for me. I actually miss it when I can't be there. I've come a long way through the classes/trainers help. I've finally progressed to be able to do a plank on the floor instead of against the wall (that's where I was when I started at Kvell). I just completed a six week challenge and have seen some amazing changes in my mental state as well as in my body. My overall health has greatly improved over the past six weeks and I'm looking forward to my next challenge. If you are looking for something to help you become a stronger and healthier you I can't recommend these guys highly enough! They are professional, helpful, motivating, encouraging and just all around awesome! The people you will be working out with are awesome as well! I love the Kvell community. While many friends were beginning the loss of the gym when covid shut everything down Bret and team were working hard to adapt and keep us going. Yes being in the gym is ideal but they wanted to continue helping us to stay healthy and they quickly adapted and have continued to provide a great way to work out from home along with in the gym now that they are back open. So near or far you can join this great family!
Lynn Rinehart
I have been going to Kvell since January 2019 and have loved it. I wanted to start working out but the typical gym atmosphere was intimidating, so when I found Kvell it was just what I was hoping for. You have a personal trainer for your group at every session and they teach proper form, motivate and take the time to know everyone’s name. They have different levels of workouts depending on your fitness level. It’s a group atmosphere and only 45 minutes, which you can sign up for online. It’s a great workout with some awesome trainers. Best decision as far as joining a gym!!!!!!
Chris Gussner
Brett and the Kvell team have developed a high quality, efficient, safe, reasonably priced and really fun 45 min workout for all fitness levels. I am a board certified, Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation medical doctor and would love for more of my patients to participate in this or a similar health program. I started Kvell in November 2020 with the goal of getting in shape for snow skiing and had one of the most enjoyable ski seasons (despite COVID) thanks to Allyssa, Glenn and Brett. I am currently in my 4th week of a 6 week Kvell Challenge and have been provided the tools to significantly improve my whole food nutrition and daily exercise levels. I really appreciate the positive reinforcements and the can do attitude of the coaches. I encourage anyone looking to improve their health and fitness to consider Kvell. The 21 Days for $1 is a great way to try a new fitness program.
Wendy Renfro
Kvell is great and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get a personal training experience with their workout. Although the classes are groups, the trainers at Kvell are great about going around observing individuals form and making suggestions ensuring you're doing the workout safely and correct to get the most benefits. The staff, as well as members who know the routine, are all very friendly and helpful.
Update 1 year later - I initially did a challenge at Kvell a year ago, loved the classes, but got busy with other things and decided I didn't have time to go. Well, here I am a year later and I'm so glad to be back and have realized almost anyone should be able to make time for themselves for a 45 minute class a few times a week. I've been back for a couple months and feel stronger and more fit than I've ever been. I like that Brett and the other trainers see that I'm capable of more than I think I am and push me to do more. The workouts are great, and they work. Kvell is a top notch place to work out, very positive and not at all intimidating.
Hannah K.E. Read Newbill
I can't express adequately how much Kvell has impacted my life! As a busy professional and parent having a fun friendly gym is AMAZING. How much attending Kvell helps me in the rest of life is immeasurable. They are so incredibly efficient (just 45 minutes!) and have a session time to fit any wacky schedule- you just need to show up! It is a joyful, kind community guided by knowledgeable and friendly coaches, welcoming to all ages and stages of life/fitness. In the time of Covid they have pivoted expertly to add virtual programming for the super cautious set, huge! You will always enjoy your time here even though you'll be working hard.
Jessica Gradhandt
I've been attending classes at Kvell in Boise for over a month now and am loving it. Each class offers several levels of challenge, with each level offering modifications/challenges as appropriate. The classes allow me to get a great workout that feels safe and challenging every time. The instructors are welcoming, fun, encouraging and offer great cues to help me work efficiently and safely. Best part: it's a 45-minute workout which fits perfectly into my busy days! I've already noticed great changes in my body these past 4 weeks, and am looking forward to the months ahead!
Jessica Maitri
This gym is absolutely amazing. The quick 45-minute work outs are so manageable and convenient with my schedule, not to mention they kick my ass every time, in a good way! I love starting my day at Kvell. The workouts have helped me build and maintain a foundation of strength in my body, that enhances my yoga practice, and keeps me embodied and mindful. Brett has done a wonderful job at creating a place to get connection with community, while getting a quality work out at the same time. Thanks for your passion and encouragement! :)
Joseph Astle
Kvell provides a great support team for those who need a little guidance or accountability working out. The variety of workouts is great for a complete body makeover. In addition the high intensity methods used make the time commitment easy for even the busy person.
Carolyn Uhl
I've been at Kvell for about 5 months now and I don't have anything but great things to say. I love the workouts! They are always challenging no matter what level you are at in fitness. The trainers are encouraging and definitely have your best interest at heart. They are very consistent with form so you can get the best workout, while also staying safe. I did a 6 week challenge over the holidays, and it was the most organized and professional challenges I have ever done at a gym. Just like everyday workouts at Kvell, it kept me accountable and provided me with all of the information I needed to set myself up for success. I am much stronger, healthier, and happier! Thanks Kvell!
Sara Gibbons
I love Kvell! From day one everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The coaches are great, helping to correct form so you get the most out of the workout and encouraging increases in the amount of weight you are lifting if you aren't pushing yourself hard enough. The workouts are challenging in the best way. I definitely push myself harder when I am there than I do when I am on my own. And it is fun, which is also awesome.
Lindsay Niederklein
I have been doing Kvell for about 6 weeks now and love it! The workouts are challenging and always changing, which makes me want to come back every time. Also, the coaches
really help to keep you focused on form and not quitting when you are exhausted. It has been a great place for a cardio-freak like me to supplement my running and biking workouts with strength. I even got a PR on my 1/2 marathon after working out at Kvell for just 3 weeks! I Highly recommend this workout!
Steve Wood
Been here 3+ years. Still loving the positive energy, friendly patrons & knowledgeable, helpful staff of this locally own gym. Full service from daily workouts to nutrition to accountability to personal goals. Highly recommended. Thx Brett & crew!
Sri Divya
Kvell is different, I mean when I say that. It’s not a boot camp or any other group exercise classes. It is almost like having a personal trainer and getting motivated by working out in a group. I like how the workouts are structured, it’s different and challenging each day, which makes me look forward to those early morning sweaty workout sessions. Both Glenn and Sarah are wonderful coaches, they guide us based on our fitness level and make sure that we get the right form. I have been going to Kvell since March and I am glad that I made the right decision. I tried other gyms in the valley and did not see any improvement with my runners knee. I am super happy that now I am able to train for a 10K. I highly recommend Kvell to anyone who is serious about getting fit and strong.
Portia Rauer
Kvell is a great place to get fit and get active! The coaches make sure your form is correct, they offer alternative exercises to work around an old injury when necessary, and they give you incentive to improve and succeed. Give Kvell a try -- what do you have to lose?!!
Beka Smith
I just started working out here and it has been a great experience so far! The workouts are tiered based off of your fitness levels. The coaches are super friendly and really helpful! It's a lot of fun and worth a try.
Jennifer Burlage
I have really loved Kvell. The workouts are intense but fun and very effective. The staff are supportive and encouraging. The other participants are friendly and real. There are people at all levels of fitness but no one is judgmental. I'm doing the challenge for the first time and it is a great program!
Tim ODonnell
I trained in martial arts for many years and looking for a more general fitness program, Kvell really fits the bill. I like the variety of drills and the variety of formats - makes each class different yet familiar. The range of drills are also practical and reflect movements used in regular life. It not only keeps you in shape but prepared for living an active life.
Reagan Bodey
Joining Kvell has been one of my best decisions in a while. The workouts are great and the staff are fantastic. Though I have never been able to keep myself to a workout regiment, the atmosphere set by Kvell is so welcoming and encouraging that I can't seem to stay away! The results I'm having are also far greater than what I was expecting from a few 45 minute workouts a week. All things considered, I don't think there is any other gym that can offer both the atmosphere and the results that Kvell does. Definitely check this place out!
Marissa Morrison
I am so happy I joined Kvell! The trainers are professional, uplifting, and assist you with form so that you get your best workout. You never regret a workout here! I can tell the functional aspect of the workout is helping with my other sports and activities! Thanks, Kvell!
Rodney Herman
Kvell is hands down the best fitness facility of its kind period. The moment you walk in you notice energy. Brett, Alyssa and Glenn are welcoming, knowledgeable and very passionate about Kvell mission- which is helping people!
I can honestly say that if you’re looking to improve your whole lifestyle and enjoy a group fitness atmosphere, then this is the place!
Tina Bird
I joined Kvell 6 weeks ago and absolutely love it. Having to sign up and attend classes holds me accountable. I love the training cycles that build and help me to grow and push myself. It’s awesome to be educated on proper execution via video daily and from Brett and his staff during class. This program is adaptable for EVERY fitness level. Every third week is bring a friend week to introduce new people to the workouts and they have a fabulous start up special!! Check Kvell out, you won’t regret it.
Airielle Moore
I have been with Kvell for four months now, and I am loving it. I had been interested in resistance training and working with weights, but was very intimidated by the gym atmospheres I had experienced, even after working with trainers. Kvell has opened up a new world of fitness to me, and I am loving my results! The coaches are all fabulous, paying lots of attention to detail to avoid injury and correct postures to ensure the best results. I love the schedule of available classes, and with workouts coming in just under an hour, I am able to get my sweaty self home with plenty of time to take care of my family. Give these guys a try, there is something for everyone at Kvell! The challenges are an extra incentive to push and grow with your workout, and the Body Scanner has been helping to keep me on track for my goal to reduce my body fat percentage. I am truly thankful I found this place.
Raquel Davis
In 2013 I decided I wanted to incorporate more weights into my workouts but I wasn’t sure how! The idea of personal training seemed intimidating and expensive. A friend recommend I stop by Kvell (Back then it was called The Lab) and talk with one of the trainers. I was reluctant, but it was the best action I ever took. Beyond learning impeccable form, increasing strength and endurance, I have also built important habits and friendships. Small group personal training is the solution for me!!!
Vicki Stieha
I’ve been very happy with my experience at Kvell. In one month I feel like I’m regaining the strength I lost while I’ve been away from the gym. Great coach support, friendly folks (not intimidating at all!), and a good challenge!
Vanessa Fry
I've fallen in love with Kvell! I'm just a few weeks in, but I already know it's going to become part of my regular fitness routine. I was looking for a a training program to complement yoga and running and Kvell is the perfect fit for me. I particularly appreciate the schedule of classes offered, the convenient location in downtown Boise, and the ability to book online. I also like that the workouts are accessible to people of all levels of fitness - from elite athletes to those just beginning a fitness program. What is most attractive to me, however, is the coaching. Glen and Sarah both have provided me with amazing instruction and are very welcoming each and every time I walk in for class.
Eric Fletcher
I'm extremely pleased with my results and experience. I consider myself an advanced lifter, though injuries and life caused results to plateau. Then, my trainer and personalized routine quickly refined my form and built support muscles to alleviate injury while getting back to gains. I'm very pleased with the results. I've seen all levels of lifters at Kvell getting the same quality of attention. The community has been equally great and welcoming. Highly recommended for all.
Kim White
I have been a Kvell client for two years and have been very pleased. The workouts are challenging and I appreciate how they are individualized based on your abilities. Classes start and end promptly, and 45 minutes is easy to work into your schedule. I love how the coach will pay attention to each person's form and offer appropriate corrections. The environment is very supportive. I have never been a fan of exercise or been able to commit to a fitness routine, but Kvell has changed all of that! I go three times per week and have lost 15 pounds, gained muscle, and dropped nearly 10% body fat!
Lisa DeRosier
I've been going to this workout program off & on for many years.
Every time I'm consistent, I see amazing results.
They have a great formula that works if you work it.
You can do anything for a short amount of time and this program packs a lot into a quick, simple workout and has amazing coaches to help. Good variety to keep you engaged & motivated. Never boring for sure!
Susan McIlroy
Kvell is fantastic in so many ways! Brett and his team are welcoming, supportive, and motivating. Within a few workouts I was hooked, and within a month I’m getting stronger and leaner. The fact that the same class is taught throughout the day makes attending easy and convenient. The workouts are challenging and fun and I very much look forward to them. The introductory deal of 21 days for $1 is a great way to experience Kvell. Check this place out-you won’t regret it!

My friends are athletes. My coworkers are fit. I have always been….less so. My friend brought me to Kvell about 6 weeks ago on one of the “bring a friend” weeks. The coaches helped me with my form without making me feel inexperienced. Everyone was super supportive of each other, even strangers. You can start with beginner moves or level up like a boss. We were in and out in 45 minutes flat. I have been going ever since and am starting to see results I didn’t know I had in me! The system also rewards you for consistency by paying you back for showing up regularly! Ive literally never heard of another gym doing that. I’m in!

After 10ish years away from a gym I jumped into Kvell head first. Two years in and consistently dedicated to 3-4 days a week has improved my times in mtb biking, running and skiing. Throughout that time I've found the coaches to be very encouraging and energetic. The ever changing routines leave you feeling worked and never mundane. My advice, give it a few months and you'll notice the changes.

When I planned to spend August in Boise, I decided to use the time to practice good habits. I contacted KVELL, and I hit the jackpot by being teamed with Andrew Fletcher. From the movement assessment to our now completed 6 sessions (of 10), Andrew has motivated me to work harder than I ever have. In the past, workouts this intense would leave me sore and barely able to walk, but Andrew has some kind of magical workout b/c I am walking well and have more energy.
I am 65 and overweight, yet Andrew has devised workouts to increase my balance, flexibility, and strength. He is able to break down the movements, indicating which muscles I should feel and how to best balance my weight. He corrects my form to ensure full benefit of the exercise while maintaining an upbeat, positive and fun atmosphere.
Andrew is in top notch shape so I recommend him as a trainer to all, from my remedial level all the way to graduate level fitness!

I joined Kvell with a simple goal of finding a place to help me with accountability in going to the gym on a consistent basis. The Kvell workout structure, philosophy, and supportive environment have proven to be a perfect fit for me. It has been fun to see results with 2 - 3 workouts a week and I've seen improvement on activities outside of the gym specially mountain biking and my soccer fitness. It has been a great experience and I look forward to many more months of fitness and nutrition support! Own It!
Janessa Dyk
Kvell is a great gym! Their workouts are tailored to help you get fit so that you can go out and do the things that you love to do (hiking, biking, etc). They switch up the workouts, yet also establish a routine so that you can understand what the flow of the workouts is like. The team is great and the trainers are very friendly and great at knowing you by name and getting to know you personally. Awesome gym and highly recommend!
Allison Cunningham
With 45 minutes classes, coaching, workouts designed for all levels, community support, incentives for coming consistently, online support, and easy downtown location Kvell has created a program for people to be consistent, get results, and enjoy the journey. If you have struggled with other gyms, cross fit or other classes you need to give Kvell a try.
I always had the impression that Kvell was intense "gym rat" only place but its set up for people of all levels from intense athletes to those just getting started. Each class has people of all ages and abilities and feels comfortable for everyone.
Christina Lequerica
Kvell is the only gym that has ever worked for me! I love that the workout is so effective and concise in less than an hours time. Brett and his team are dedicated to helping people with their fitness goals. At Kvell yo get one on one personal training each work out, it’s like having personal training sessions for jenoroce of a gym membership. The environs is welcoming and comfortable. I Jane really enjoyed this gym for almost 2 years now and highly recommend it!!!??
Chris Gussner
I have been enjoying work outs at KVELL since Nov. 2021 and on June 18 2022 had a bike accident and broke my elbow. KVELL has been great about putting my payments on hold until I was able to work out again. The coach has been able to safely modify my workouts in the group setting so I was able to return. I really enjoy the well organized, efficient and fun total body workouts. I am glad to be back at KVELL.
Charles Honsinger
After several relatively recent injuries and surgeries to this aging body resulting from athletic pursuits (and the corresponding loss of fitness and weight gain), I feel fortunate to have found Kvell. I have been at it with Brett and Kvell for six months now. The workouts have given me a very strong base fitness from which I can move into my athletic activities with a much lower fear of injury and with confidence that I will perform at least competently. The flexibility in scheduling a Kvell workout throughout the day is very helpful to somebody without a "regular" work schedule. I really enjoy the workouts, the camaraderie, and the constant attention by Brett and the other coaches. I'd recommend it to anybody at any level who wants to improve their fitness.
Kriss Cloyd
Kvell is the best gym in Boise! It’s not just a place to workout. This is where you create a life style. The coaches work with to help you improve and never cause an injury.
Eric Case
Kvell has been an amazing gym. I’ve been going to kvell for for about 3 months and I already that I have more energy day to day and am getting stronger every week. Brett does a great job setting up and leading workouts. He constantly is walking through the class helping people with their form and movement to ensure they are not getting hurt and are getting the most out of every movement. The classes are great as the routines change every 3 weeks and each class is different day to day. Thank you Brett.
Nathan Jenkins
My wife first started working out at Kvell while I was deployed. When I returned I accompanied her to bring a friend week and I was welcomed from the start. I have always been apprehensive when working out in a gym as I never really knew what I was doing. I did not feel that after the first time at Kvell. Workouts can be tailored by each individual based on their own level of fitness meaning that everyone can get a good workout. Each movement is explained and demonstrated and a coach is there to offer spot corrections while working out while leading the workout. I'm glad my wife introduced me to the Kvell community as I have finally found a gym that's right for me, and I look forward to getting my sweat on, even at 0500 in the morning.
Cait Kessler
A Kvell class is like no other group fitness class I’ve experienced. You’re surrounded by a group of all different fitness levels, with everyone supporting one another with either fist bumps, cheers, or the very familiar head nod of “this is hard as hell, but we got this.” The coaches are very engaged throughout the entire length of the class, making sure movements are correct while encouraging you to push further and break barriers. And the results have been amazing! I’ve been going for about two months now, and my energy levels and confidence are higher than they’ve been in a long time! Yes, the Kvell workout IS tough, but the feeling of accomplishing a class is super addictive. If you’re looking for a good kick in your workout routine and fitness journey, I highly recommend joining Kvell!
Mali Sawyer
Kvell is different than a lot of workout programs and gyms. I’ve tried other programs similar to Kvell, but there is no comparison. The coaches really care about you, your progress, and correct technique. I recently graduated college and played collegiate volleyball. For someone with little athletic experience or a lot, Kvell is a great choice. So happy to be part of an amazing community!
Pamela Bond
If you are looking for a safe, fast, and effective workout, Kvell is your place. The workouts are never boring and it's easy to keep challenging yourself because of their 3-level approach. This isn't your typical gym - the trainers and staff will give you personalized advice about workouts and nutrition and are always happy to chat about anything related to your overall wellness. Staff, trainers, and members are all very welcoming and want to see you meet your fitness and wellness goals. I would recommend Kvell to people of ALL fitness levels.
Carly Fisher
This place is great! Before attending Kvell I would regularly go to the gym but I found I wasn't pushing myself or getting results. With Kvell I feel challenged, I also receive advice and encouragement the whole time. The 45 minute workouts are perfect for my busy life style and something I look forward to! I also really enjoy the fact that there are different levels or modifications for each workout in the circuit. It allows me to push myself, or take it down a notch if my form starts to crack. Regardless of fitness or health level, this place has already taught me so much and I highly recommend it for any one looking for a healthier life style!
Kyle Lee
This gym is absolutely amazing. It’s as close as you can get to personal training, but without the high cost. I started out at 18% body fat percentage and went down to 16% within a few weeks. I took a week off and went back up to 18%, it really works! I play sports and do a fair amount of outdoor activities, but Kvell is a perfect cross training to help me perform better in my other hobbies and prevent injury. My shoulder used to get really sore from playing tennis, but now my strength has been built to keep me going without soreness. My favorite part about Kvell is how quickly you get a killer workout in. I can go during the middle of the workday and be out of there in 45 minutes. Brett does an amazing job getting to know my strength and potential. He knows what I am capable of more than I do, so he pushes me further than I was even thinking of going. Kvell is a perfect platform for everyone to go at their own pace and level. I highly recommend Kvell!
Emilio Mata
Kvell is amazing!! Every trainer is really cool, attentive and helps you reach your fitness goals. Easily my favorite gym I’ve ever been apart of. 10/10 highly recommend
Jake Shaddox
Kvell fitness is the only choice for results driven, quick and effective workouts! The staff is incredible and it feels like a mission to get in, work your tail off, and get out in 45 minutes. The workouts are as challenging as you want them to be, and are extremely accommodating to all fitness levels!
Taina Moynihan
Kvell is an awesome place to go if you’re looking to improve your fitness the right way. Short, intense group sessions are easy to fit in to busy schedules and the modifiable workouts can accommodate any skill level. The atmosphere during workouts is incredible and everyone is so supportive of one another! I can’t recommend Brett and his team enough!
Alyssa
I highly recommend Kvell to anyone wanting to get healthy and fit! The trainers are awesome and not only give you new workouts all the time, but make sure you are maintaining proper form for best results. The nutrition experts are amazing too! They really helped me create a personal nutrition plan to meet my fitness goals. There are plenty of class times throughout the day making it easy for me to incorporate a workout into my busy schedule. Everyone is so encouraging and always remembers my name, which makes me want to workout more! Kvell is one of a kind and I would recommend anyone and everyone to experience it!
Paul Remeis
Great workout, great people, great atmosphere.
I have been going to Kvell Boise for about 8 weeks. The workouts are intense, but with options for every fitness level. The trainers are genuinely invested in the clients' progress; they concentrate on proper form and make sure that we are pushing to the end of every interval. The atmosphere is supportive, friendly, and warm.
After the first six weeks, I have seen great results: I have added about 1 pound of muscle and lost over a pound of fat. Thanks to Justin, Nathan, Maria, and Chelsie for improving my strength and nutrition.
Tyra Beard
I can't say enough great things about Kvell. A great full body workout every time in a super friendly environment. The classes are never boring as they are always changing and they make the time fly by. Everyone gets a great workout no matter your level of fitness. The instructors do a great job of motivating you and helping you with form. Overall a very positive environment and experience.
Michele Carney
Kvell is amazing because it works for all fitness levels. The workouts have 3 levels built in and the coaches do a create job of additional accommodations as needed. I highly recommend!
Chandra Heinz-Odom
I went to Kvell a few times during their “Bring a Friend” week and had a great experience! The workouts were really quick - less than an hour - but super effective. Everyone in the class was very welcoming and helped me out when I didn’t know how to do an exercise. The instructors are also great about helping you learn the correct form and showing you modifications for each move. I recommend to people of all fitness levels!
Danielle Dorsch
Kvell was game changer for me. Atmosphere is positive and motivating, and the trainers are top notch! I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a truly unique fitness experience.Whether you are just beginning your fitness journey, or you are looking to take your fitness to the next level, Kvell offers something for everyone.
Rosy Moreno
Kvell has redefined my relationship with strength fitness. Having always felt lost at the gym, Kvell takes the guess work out with providing an effective 45 minute workout that’s never left me feeling intimidated. The trainers and community are respectful, welcoming and encouraging. Happy to be here!
Heather Harrington
Joining Kvell has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I was at a plateau in my workout regimen and this is exactly what I needed to feel that high in my workouts again! The trainers are personable, knowledgeable, educated and make sure you are in perfect form so you will always get the most out of your workouts. If you are serious about any and all workout goals you will see results with Kvell! Your experience will be no less than both fun and life changing.
Angela Battazzo
Kvell Fitness is an AWESOME community, with a persistent and fearless leader in Brett Denton. Brett is the kind of coach who will hold you to the high standard you are capable of, and if you meet yourself at the challenge, you’ll be happy with the results. His online pivot during Covid helped me get stronger while stuck in my living room in Seattle for months, and helped me establish a new pattern in my nutrition routine that has stuck for almost a year now. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY AND COMMUNITY.
Tori Wassner
KVELL is a gym that is welcoming, consistent, and place where I feel safe. I know the coaches have my best interest in my fitness journey. They make sure our form is correct, to ensure we are being safe and effective.
I truly love going to KVELL ! It is a one of a kind!
Sarah Daugherty
I am loving this gym. I am a self proclaimed "workout nerd" and have been to a lot of gyms. This one is doing it right and is different than others. They provide workouts that are not only fun and but are purposeful. They have training cycles so you can really get results and stay safe. I love the group training sessions because the energy is awesome. Even though they are group sessions I have recieved a ton of coaching. The coaches really make the workout individualized. I would recommend Kvell to anyone at any fitness level.
Christa O'Neill
I look forward to every workout and have had more success with the Kvell program than any other I have ever participated in. The Kvell crew is very knowledgeable and seamlessly integrate into their workouts all fitness levels while pushing all of us to be our best self every workout. The environment could not be more positive and supportive from the staff to the other participants. They are available for questions and to support your personal goals and strive to improve upon that all the time. In just 6 weeks I was able to drop 10.9 lbs of fat for a 4.3% loss!
Alison Stark
Kvell classes are offered at convenient times throughout the day. Morning parking is plentiful at the downtown location. The workouts are varied enough to keep things interesting, and the instructional videos leave the coaches free to monitor and make corrections/suggestions throughout each session. The music keeps the energy high, and you will be greeted by name at the door each day. The facility is clean, the equipment is in good shape, and the clientele is fit, friendly, and hardworking. I'm super happy to be a Kveller!
Lesley Alberts
Kvell is a great place to workout they offer something for everyone no matter what your fitness level or capabilities are. The community at Kvell is encouraging and friendly and the coaches care about you doing movements correctly with the proper form. There are several class times throughout the day and you feel great after and accomplished for getting a workout in in just 45 minutes. The foam rolling and stretching are also great benefits of the class. I definitely recommend trying this studio/gym.
Joel Smith
I have been attending classes at Kvell Boise for about 3 months now and I really enjoy the intense atmosphere! Brett's workouts have helped me improve in my Running and Biking and this type of cross-training is really helping with my total body fitness. Brett is an attentive fitness coach and connects with all clients on an individual level. His coaching style is direct and he ensures that clients are pushing themselves and using correct form. I would recommend Kvell to anyone!
Erin Shumard
OWN IT. I've been going to Kvell for 10 months. I honestly thought when I joined that I would workout for a couple of months, then lose interest. Or that I wouldn't like it. Or that it would be too hard. It IS hard, but only as hard as I'm ready for at each workout. The coaches know my name and greet me every time I show up, which really makes me feel like a member of the Kvell community. There's no guilt trip for missing days, just support to get back on track and positive attitude from other Kvellians. There are options for each exercise tailored for novice gym-goers and more challenging versions for experienced members - no one will find it too easy or boring! Coaches offer helpful tips on technique and encouragement to "up the weight" if I'm not looking challenged enough. I show up, I do the day's workout, and I'm done in under an hour. I am healthier now than I have been in ten years, and I have Brett and Kvell to thank for that. It's absolutely worth it!
Desiree Delosada
The trainers that work here are extremely nice and helped me get momentum on going to the gym. The trainers are always able to fix wrong techniques that I wasn't even aware I was doing. Kvell actually makes me excited to get up to go to the gym. This gym also has a really great concept. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivating, and awesome people to be around. I've never been in a gym with a better vibe. No matter if your goal is to simply stay fit during summer or to train hardcore, Kvell has it all. The gym is also always clean. I would highly recommend going to Kvell if you haven't tried it already.
Joanne Mitten
I have lived in Boise for 35 years and I can truthfully say that Kvell Fitness and Nutrition is the best place I have ever worked out. The atmosphere is fun. People working out are working hard, enjoying themselves and getting results. The coaches are magnificent! They are well educated and trained. Even in a larger class you can guarantee a coach is watching you to help improve your form or modify a move to prevent injury. I have also taken some of their other offerings such as nutrition education. When I took this in addition to the high intensity training, I lost 30 pounds in 3 months. My favorite class is team training. I have increased my strength to a level I did not think possible at my current age. I recommend Kvell to everyone. Just call to get more information. They will help you get the results you want.
Samuel Bishop
Awesome place! Good team energy is super important when in a gym setting, and Kvell definitely has that, and it helps me stay focused on my pursuits while having fun. Ultra convenient class times and super approachable work outs with variations for all skill and fitness levels. More coaching than I would have expected for a class atmosphere, which is important to me. I feel like I'm rapidly getting stronger, have higher endurance. I dig it!
Shaye Larie
I love Kvell! This is my third week and I'm already noticing huge improvements to my physique. I used to think my daily workouts at home were good enough, but now I am improving much more quickly and I only go three days a week! It is a great deal for the money too because your workouts are planned for you and the amount of time and assistance you get from the coach is similar to experiences I've had with private coaching.
Mark Long
The short story: I lost 20 pounds of fat going to Kvell. They've completely changed my attitude on gyms, and immensely improved not only my fitness, but also my confidence and how I feel every day!
The long story: I've never been much of an athlete, so I never learned how to properly work out. I tried going to gyms before, but always went on my own and never had any idea what I was doing. Then I started going to Kvell Fitness - after the first class, I was hooked!
The coaches welcome you as soon as you walk in the door, answer all your questions, no matter how silly you think they are, and explain every workout to you in detail with examples. Then, when you're doing the workout, they help you with your form so you're getting the maximum benefit, no matter how fit you are (or aren't, in my case)
After three months at Kvell, I feel more flexible, stronger, and have more energy than I have in a long time. What's better than that, is that I feel more confident in myself, and have no reservations about being active outside of Kvell. Whether it's working out in the yard or going on a hike, I know I have the strength and endurance to enjoy it, and it's all thanks to Kvell Fitness!
If you're even thinking about getting active, visit Kvell! You can tell they love what they do, they make you feel like you belong and that you're included, and their passion for fitness will definitely rub off on you!
Courtney Yamada-Anderson
Kvell Fitness is TOP NOTCH. Incredibly knowledgeable, motivating and fun coaches. The people are very welcoming. I received personal attention and technical advice to help ensure I was getting the most out of my workout. The workouts are fun and can be catered to you fitness/ ability level. They are dedicated to fitness, community, and helping you be the best version of you. I highly recommend stoping in meeting the staff and trying out one of their workouts.
Patrick Erstad
Kvell is an awesome gym! The coaches are friendly and encouraging, and they are very helpful making sure you're doing the movements correctly. The class was only 45 minutes but I was exhausted afterward. I'd recommend them to anyone!
Nick Pollock
I started going to Kvell a little over a month ago, and I couldn't be happier that I gave the place a try! The quick-paced, well-structured workouts have really pushed me beyond where I would normally push myself. I've already noticed a difference in how I look and feel. The trainers are both great teachers and motivators. I'd definitely recommend this gym for either people looking to switch up their fitness routines or people looking to get themselves back into shape.
andrew may
Today I accompanied my daughter ( who is a new member) for an awesome workout at Kvell. I was completely impressed with the entire setup. The class was professionally supervised by Glen and Brett, who guided the our class in reps of core exercises. Though I consider myself (58yrs) in good shape by being an avid mountain and trail hiker, I have to admit this class kicked my butt in a good way. I was also impressed with the clientele of fellow classmates. Good and devoted members of all ranges of gym experience. There is such a pleasant atmosphere of mutual respect and support for everyone involved in the class. It really motivates you. Glen and Brett are excellent at intervening during the class to give professional adjustments for each member and getting the most out of each exercise. They keep it honest to everyone’s individual physical abilities. If you are looking for a workout that will both challenge you and motivate you, you would be hard pressed to find a better place. Kudos to Kvell.
Naomi Jones Yoga
I started working with Holly in the group class format about 1 month ago. I'm enjoying the strength building and cardio burst part of the training session. Since I practice a lot of yoga, I wanted to work on strength and increase metabolism. It's been a great experience and I'm definitely learning new skills.
Laura Netz
What a great fitness center! I've only been there a few weeks, but it is really a great workout and the people are very welcoming and friendly. I like having a workout set up for me...I have never been able to do it on my own and stay consistent. The workouts are different every time and you can go at your own level instead of trying to keep up with everyone else. The coaches are fantastic, very encouraging and helpful, but also there to push you to do more. The best part? No judgement. Everyone who attends is encouraging and helpful and there to do their best. I look forward to going every time!
Bill Klein-Reed
I can't speak highly enough of Kvell. In the 6 weeks I've been doing classes 3 times a week, I've lost nearly 20 pounds. I love the workouts, the group nature of the classes, and they work with all levels of skill. The class setting may seem intimidating at first, but by the end of your workout you feel like you're part of a team and I look forward to working out with the regulars that attend the classes I go to. I'm "gym-dumb" but have really managed to find success at Kvell. It's amazing, Glenn, Brett and Alyssa are awesome coaches!
Sneha Chowdary
Excellent trainers who can train a person who entered into gym for the first time like me. They care for each and everyone, observe every one and correct them even in a group workout. Their exercises have lot of variations and are suitable for all levels. Safe, friendly and positive environment. Lot of Motivation and support. Convenient location and Flexible timings. Great full body exercise with in 45 minutes. Great results. I love Brett's daily articles.I Highly recommend Kvell.
amy iddings
The idea of a gym has never been appealing to me, so what I really appreciate about Kvell is that my body and mind get challenged more than in any other workout I've done, AND I don't have to be in a space that feels like a gym, with equipment that doesn't feel empowering to use. Brett has a great group exercise approach, and after just a few weeks I already feel way stronger to do the other things in my life I love (swimming, surfing, hiking, cycling). It's an exhilarating feeling :)
David Wacker
I visited Kvell this morning with a friend who has been raving about it for a while, and it blew me away! The workout is smart, effective, fun, and just difficult enough to kick your butt if you push yourself. I am a former Boise State Men’s basketball player and Kvell uses the same approach and attention to detail that my strength and conditioning coach did. A safe, high intensity workout that will give you the results you want without the risk of injury. Definitely would recommend!
Mel Meier
I tried Kvell after hearing about the format from a friend. I was super out of shape and very nervous about going to a new gym and worried if I’d even make it through the workout. To my surprise, I had a great first session. The workouts can all be tailored to fit different fitness levels, and the instruction is very clear. The coaches are awesome, and the members are kind and encouraging. Oh, and the music has good beats to get you pumped up to workout. If you’re on the fence, give it a try! I’m so glad I put myself out there and tried something out of my comfort zone!
Myki Rauer
I have been working out with the Kvell team for almost a year. I have not only reached my fitness goals but so many personal goals as well! This is a fantastic gym who offer great work classes along with incredible coaches to push you to your goals. If you are looking for a positive, upbeat workout, Kvell is the place for you.
charles jones
Kvell gets results. After only a few months there, I felt so much healthier. I had more energy throughout my day, and I really enjoyed my ability to work with progressively heavier weights.
The best part of Kvell is the camaraderie and positive reinforcement. I fully believe that I was able to work through some of the hardest challenges of my life because of the energy and encouragement I received at this gym.
Join to lose weight, stay for the physical and mental strength they help you find!
DeAnn Bodey
I have been a member at Kvell for a little over 4 months and absolutely LOVE it. I am always eager to go to class as it is a super friendly and supportive atmosphere AND a great workout. The classes are structured to accommodate all fitness levels and only take 45 minutes of your day. All of the trainers are impressively knowledgeable in their field and they work hard to ensure you are getting the most out of your workout. If you're looking for a place to better yourself and get in shape.....look no further!!
camille cooper
Kvell is hands down the best gym in Boise. Its perfect for busy lifestyles with their ultra effective 45 minute classes. I always leave there feeling like I got the most out of my workout and good about myself. Its perfect because it is geared towards all fitness levels and you always feel supported and encouraged. Won't find me working out anywhere else.
Lisa Della Badia
I just completed my first month at Kvell. I’m just coming off of an injury and needed something I could ease into. Brett and his team offer workouts for all levels, even customizing certain moves to accommodate my needs. Now that I’m able to work out at 100%, all of the coaches are supporting my transition. This is an evidence-based fitness format that can work for everyone/anyone. They keep it interesting and engaging. I actually like going to work out now!
Laura Coil
Kvell is an amazing gym with coaches who help you focus on improving your lifestyle through both fitness and nutrition. In just 45 minutes, you complete workouts designed for all strength/skill levels that are challenging and leave you with a feeling of accomplishment. Each move in the class has plenty of room for progression or regression, and the coaches will help push you to the level that is best for you and your goals. Additionally, results are seen immediately, both in body fat loss and muscle gain. I highly recommend Kvell for anyone ready to commit to making fitness and nutrition a priority- and I'd definitely recommend signing up for a 6 week challenge to really show you how much change can happen in a short month and a half! The personal feedback you get from Kvell is unmatched by any other gym (unless maybe you're paying the higher prices of personal trainers), making it completely worth your investment.
Brooke G
I highly recommend joining Kvell, if you are considering it! The workouts are relatively quick and continually change, so they stay interesting and provide optimal results. The Kvell community is good for ALL fitness levels. Brett and his staff provide individual feedback during the workouts to make sure we are doing things correctly. I've been a member of for almost 4 months, and feel so much healthier!
Fred Willerup
I always hated going to gyms, and tried to stay in shape by doing stuff outside. This worked when I was younger, but now at 50 it's catching up with me and I needed to do something.
Two months in at Kvell, I love it! The 45 min sessions at any time of day are easy to fit in several times a week, no excuses, just turn up and do it. The community is great- a great mix of young and old, super fit and less so, it made me feel at home right away. And the coaches are great with just the right amount of instruction and encouragement. Finally, I really like the incentive structure when you pay less the more you go.
Kvell has done the impossible: getting this old gym-hater back in shape! :)
sam diddle
Kvell is great. Brett has it figured out. The workouts are effective, efficient and safe. The program is suited for people just starting to improve their physical fitness all the way to highly trained athletes looking for the added boost to their training program. The program's three levels of intensity or difficulty for the various movements in the workout make it adaptable to your level of fitness and specific workout goals. The atmosphere in the gym is high energy and extremely friendly. The program can really be life changing.
Tara Newton
I have done various types of training over the years, and Kvell is by far the best! Not only are the trainers spectacular, but I achieve better results in the 45 minutes I spend here 3 days a week, than when I was working out two hours a day, 5 times a week. And what is great, is that you can choose how you want to push yourself, as they offer three levels of each exercise. So beginners, immediate, and experts can all get in a great work out! Super excited to continue my journey with the Kvell fam!
Cindy Smith
First time at Kvell in Boise, and I absolute LOVED it! Very well laid out facility. Brett, the owner, does a phenomenal job putting together a workout that is geared for all fitness levels. Members are all friendly and encouraging. The session time is perfect!
I highly recommend Kvell to anyone wanting to take back control of their health & fitness.
Lydia Fuller
Kvell is unlike any other gym or fitness class I have been too. There were a variety of ages and fitness levels all working to accomplish their goals together. The instructor was helpful and encouraging. The workout was formatted in a way to keep you challenged and feel the burn all while being safe in your fitness level. Such a friendly place to sweat it out at!
Travis White
Kvell is truly an amazing gym! As a health care provider I have enjoyed watching and participating in the evolution of group fitness over the past 10 years. Brett and all of the coaching staff truly care about the success and health of their athletes. They possess amazing bio-mechanical knowledge and are quick to adapt any workout to any athletes that suffer from physical limitations. The programming is also designed to prevent injuries while promoting incredible results. This will be a gym that will continue to expand and make a mark in the fitness community.
Jeff Kesling
What I like most about Kvell is not having to plan my workouts. I achieve a intense full-body workout in under and hour. Upon arrival, a good warmup is included, along with detailed instructions on the exercises for the day. Then the workout itself is catered to my strength and skill level, and supervised by knowledgeable trainers. Offering several convenient workout sessions per day, along with the camaraderie of working out with others adds to the appeal. Kvell is awesome!

I’ve gone to many gyms in Boise, from the YMCA to various CrossFit gyms. The program at Kvell has by far led me to my greatest results and improvements, and through a truly holistic approach. The coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. The incentives are fairly unheard of elsewhere and are a positive way to hold you accountable. I highly recommend Kvell and it certainly has clients living up to its name (“happy and proud”).
Kristen Slappey
The gyms are extremely clean and well maintained. The thing I enjoy most are the ever changing workouts. Just reading the description of the workouts I felt overwhelmed but honestly these are easy to understand and follow. You work at your pace (not waiting on anyone to finish so you can use equipment) and the coaches are awesome at keeping tabs on everyone. They challenge you when you need it, guide and help you perfect your form, and encourage you when you’re struggling to finish the last sets. I’ve been quite impressed with my time here so far and plan to get my parents to join as well. It’s a very welcoming gym for anyone of any fitness ability. And I mean that. Most gyms advertise that, but this gym truly lived it (gym isn’t even the correct word for this place- it’s so much better). Brett’s passion is palpable as are his colleagues. I’m working through a pretty significant injury and he and the team are helping me modify so I can join in on the action. This is a very welcoming and accepting community. Best functional fitness gym in Boise for sure! Don’t shy away from fitness goals anymore!
Bob Barrow
I was looking for a low key gym to go with my Biking, Running and hiking. The Kvell program is a great match. The workouts are a good mix of personal training and guided self motivated workouts. Own it!

I love Kvell! I used to lift weights 3x a week at a small, private, office-based gym and that was OK. Used their cardio equipment 2x a week when I couldn’t get out on the trails. That was OK, too — better than being a couch potato. Then a friend invited me to Kvell’s “Bring a Friend” week and I haven’t looked back since (thanks, Laura ‘-). I love the intensity of the workouts that I get in less time than I was spending working out on my own. I love having a coach available to make sure I am performing each move correctly — for the most benefit and least structural strain. And I love the variety of sets we do each session, with the graduated skill levels so no matter where you are fitness-wise you can find a level to plug in at and then push yourself to notch it up at whatever pace makes sense for you. Plus, they really are community focused - both within the workout sessions and in terms of looking for ways to support various non-profit organizations in the community. Kvell, yeah!
Lisa Conn
I absolutely love this place! Staff is knowledgeable and kind and only want what’s best for you. Everyone who belongs to this gym is great as well! I have never belonged to a gym that is as supporting as Kvell Fitness. They have an excellent program that works. I feel my body is getting stronger every day and I find myself making healthier decisions because I am loving the results. You owe it to yourself to give Kvell Fitness a chance!
Amy Gonzalez
I’ve been going to Kvell for over 2 years now and it has proven to be one of the best decisions I’ve made for my health and fitness. The workouts provide an excellent balance of being challenged mentally and physically while focusing on proper form and being safe in your workouts…all in 45 minutes :). Even in a group setting, Brett provides the individual attention and instruction you would get if you had a personal trainer. Every time I leave Kvell, I feel stronger and more confident about myself.
Chris Kozfkay
I recently started going to Kvell. This gym is great - there are lots of classes throughout the day so easy to schedule, the strength training movements are at various levels so you can choose (and increase) your level and good training/feedback is provided during the class so you can get proper form. Classes maximize athleticism and performance and if you are wanting to get in shape - this is the place.
Marianne Hudson
I love working out at Kvell! The trainers are the best, the group size are great. Not too big! You still get the personal corrections you need while not feeling singled out or embarrassed. They push you and motivate you to always try your best. If you’re consistent,... you’ll see the results you’re after!
Kurt Ziegler
I've never liked gym workouts, opting for outdoor activities instead. But when I needed something to supplement my cycling I decided to give Kvell a try. I still wouldn't go back to a typical gym but I'm loving Kvell. The difference is efficient, well designed group workouts. In 45 minutes I can get an excellent all-body workout with a great group of people without the hype, pressure and other undesirable trappings of many gyms. Brett is an excellent trainer, able to keep even my uncoordinated body using proper technique to maximize effectiveness and minimize risk of injury. It's a low-pressure environment except that the program, Brett, and the other members encourage you to always strive for personal improvement. It's about perfect.
Blake Ewing
I have been going to Kvell for right at a month. I moved back to Boise and was looking for a gym/bootcamp that provided coaching and a team environment and I wasn't interested in doing cross fit. I looked at couple of other gyms and what really sold me on Kvell was the structure and cadence of the workouts, along with the hands-on coaching that the coaches provide during the workout. I had never done foam rolling before and Kvell emphasizes it as a key part of recovery. It's helped me in my recovery - and in turn - my overall performance. In addition to the foam rolling, we also do stretching every day as part of the scheduled time. As obvious as it seems, other gyms I have been to don't emphasize stretching the way they do at Kvell and I can tell it's already helping with my flexibility and athleticism. Beyond the foam rolling and stretching we then do 30 minutes of circuit training which mostly includes using body weight, dumb bells and kettle bells. I have only been going to Kvell for a month but I'm sold. Alyssa got me set up and has been great about checking in with me and making sure I'm on track. Glenn and Brett are the coaches during the time that I attend and they are both great. I feel like my form has gotten much better in a short time and it's because of their hands-on approach and encouragement. I would highly recommend Kvell to any friend or family member. If you're worried about whether or not you're a fit for Kvell, you are. The workouts that we do are and can be modified easily. There is a great mix of men and women of different ages and fitness levels. Come join the fam!
LeAnn Naillon
I can’t say enough good things about Brett and the Kvell team. As a former college athlete I had lost the athlete within through the years. Kvell brings team training and an individual coach to someone who thrives off community and coaching. Kvell has sparked the athlete from within again for me.
I love reserving the class and making the commitment to myself to show up. The team takes the time to help each person get the most out of the class. Coaching on form and technique along the way to ensure a safe and effective workout every time! EVERY TIME!
The workouts are scalable to multiple fitness levels from the beginner to the elite and the environment is welcoming to all. If you join you will not regret the investment you are making in yourself!
Holli Woodings
During the pandemic I had really lost tone and mobility, so needed an effective workout to get back on track. At Kvell every 45-minute workout is designed to increase strength and flexibility which is just exactly what I needed, without taking a lot of time out of my day. I'm only two weeks in but already am feeling the benefits, and feeling more ready to take on everything summer has to offer. You have everything to gain by trying it out!
RONTXO
Kvell motivates me to work out harder and smarter to get leaner and stronger, especially after noticing rapid results in the few months I’ve been going. I recommend going 3x a week to take advantage of their payment kickback option. If you want to get your butt in great shape and have more energy, it’s a fun workout and the personal instruction is impressive.
Janine Reynard
I heard about Kvell from friends. They were right, it's great! I love the 45 minute workout times, which are very manageable with a busy work and kid schedule. I love that I just have to show up and do the exercises that are laid out for me in the specific time allotted. I don't have to think about whether I should be working my arms today or my legs. Brett has it all figured out and organized. I am amazed at how much stronger I feel and I have only been working out 3 months! Brett and his staff are friendly and helpful and so are the people that workout at Kvell. This is truly a place for beginners to athletes who want to improve their health!
KDK MC
I've been attending Kvell for about a month now. I've participated in several types of workout programs over the years and this is one of my favorite types of workouts. I like the bootcamp style, the no nonsense feel, and that it is all in one compact 45 minute class. They also offer an amazing trial period...why wouldn't you give it a try to see if it fits you?
Joelle Alexander
Kvell is incredible! I tried what seemed like everything before. Cleanses, online fitness challenges, standard gym memberships, drastic and non-drastic diet changes, etc., and nothing seemed to work. I absolutely hated the idea of working out with a group as I am incredibly self conscious, but decided to try to burst my own comfort bubble. I'm really thankful I did, because Kvell is amazing! Brett is a great instructor, the workout times are convenient, and everyone there, staff and peers, are so warm and welcoming. I saw and felt a change in how I looked and felt, and I'm excited to continue on my fitness journey with Kvell!
Traci Mcclure
I came to Kvell because I had plateaued in my current workout program. Within 2 weeks I already see changes in my muscle tone and my endurance has improved. I love that Brett and Glenn take the time to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly both for maximum results but also to keep you from getting hurt. They are so patient when I just “don’t get “ a certain movement. The relaxed atmosphere makes coming to Kvell a pleasure.
Alicia Leacox
Best gym experience! This is where the community is at! Kvell is a team-oriented, judgement-free zone, where you feel like a part of the family while working towards your fitness and nutrition goals. The coaches are sincerely interested in your goals and will work with you to help you achieve them successfully. Everyone is on a first name basis which is phenomenal! Thank you Glen, Andrew, Alyssa, and Brett, you guys rock!
Danette Lansing Kroll
I am HOOKED!! Kvell is like nothing else I've tried in the fitness industry. The classes go by so danged fast. The variety is fantastic for keeping my motivation up from week to week. Not kidding when I say how amazing the instructors are. There's not a weak link in the group. They all make ya' feel like you're a part of the family. They all got to know me personally which makes a profound impact on my fitness bc they all know what accommodations and adjustments I need. I can't believe I'm actually saying this, but the fitness is fun!!
Heiden Bliss
I have been a member of Kvell Fitness for several years now. Due to my work schedule it has only been in the past few months that I have been able to consistently make it to my workouts every week. All I can say is wow! My body is being constantly challenged. I am already seeing significant progress in my monthly body scans. If you are willing to commit to making it to your workouts and eating healthy, you will see results and most likely be in the best shape of your life. I recommend Kvell Fitness to anyone, whether you are looking to lose weight, increase strength, just starting out, already in great shape, etc. Anyone can benefit from this program. Sign up today and truly commit to showing up and you will not be disappointed!
Brandi Gillen
My son (14) and I joined Kvell just 3 weeks ago and love the training that we are receiving. Every trainer takes the time to work with each individual in technique and drives your motivation to make it thru each session. We look forward to joining the nutrition challenge to learn and feel even better about our health/bodies! Thank you to all of our trainers for keeping us accountable!
Grant Rosendahl
I have been working out at Kvell Fitness for the last two months and it has been amazing! There are a ton of class times to fit almost anyone’s schedule, the workouts are organized and it’s all within 45mins! Brett is a very professional trainer that helps push you and makes sure you are getting the most out of the workout! If you are looking for a total body workout that will make you sweat your ass off I highly recommend Kvell! Keep up the hard work!
Desirae Small
Love love love this place! I've never really been what you could call "fit". Seriously, even a basic body-weight squat has been a challenge. I've tried many other gyms in the area but couldn't get into a routine on my own. I figured I needed something a bit more guided, so I went on the hunt for something akin to group classes. I stumbled upon Kvell and almost didn't join because of the price (at least 3x any other gym I've been to!), and the location is a bit out of my way, but I decided to give their very generous 21 days for $1 promotion a try. I knew by day 3 that I was hooked. The classes are structured in a way that the coaches can help guide form, answer questions, and provide modifications if needed. Everyone (including other members) are super friendly and easy to talk to. I love how the classes change every 3 weeks, and aren't just cardio-cardio-cardio all the time. The foam rolling at the beginning of each session is always AMAZINGLY relaxing. Plus, there are people of all skill levels there, so I never feel intimidated (but I do often feel motivated -- Brett makes the higher-level stuff look so easy that I like to think one day it'll be easier for me too!). So far this has been the most consistent workout routine I've engaged in. I actually look forward to going. IMO the price is 100% worth it because I'm actually using and seeing results from the program, which is more than I can say for any of the other gyms I've tried.
Tim Dougherty
I have gone through phases of being in very good shape and not. I am at a low point in my fitness and I needed help jump starting me back on track. I love that I can show up and the entire workout is planned for me. I don't have to think about what to do I just have to show up and do the work that is laid out for us.The focus on entire body including flexibility is a huge bonus for me. I have had great results in my hip mobility! The class numbers are small enough that the coaches are able to help with form on all of the movements.
Thanks to the Kvell team!
Katy Foutz
About 3 months ago, I heard an advertisement on the radio for a gym called Kvell that specialized in strengthening not only muscles, but also tendons and ligaments in order to prevent injury. I have battled injuries from basic day to day tasks for years, so my interest was piqued. Then the radio ad said I could try Kvell for 21 days for $1. I knew if anyone offered use of their gym for 21 days for only $1, they must have a winning product, so I thought I would give it a try. My experience with Kvell has been so positive. The owner, Brett, really wants people to be successful. Every workout is customized for optimal strength training and calorie burn. His staff knows me personally. They know my health challenges, and work hard to assure that I can perform the moves safely, or else they provide an optional move for me. In fact, soon after joining Kvell I had shoulder surgery. The Kvell staff encouraged me to return to Kvell as soon as I could after surgery. I was there just a few days after surgery, and they helped me find exercises that I could do even with my limitations. At my follow up visit, my surgeon was amazed at how quickly I was recovering. I gave Kvell all the credit.
Brett also has an amazing nutritionist that is so knowledgeable and sweet! Since going to Kvell, my work outs and nutritional practices have set me up for success in reaching my goals. And even though my monthly payment is more than it would be at Axiom or other typical gyms, it is worth every penny. It is completely apparent that Brett puts so much time and effort into helping each member reach their fitness goals. In fact, he actually refunds part of your gym membership fees dependent upon how many times you come to class.
I’ve also participated in the nutritional challenges Kvell offers. During these challenges you learn healthy nutritional habits. And you learn to be accountable for your choices. I won the very first challenge I did! I lost 10.5 inches and 9 lbs of fat in 6 weeks. His program works! If you are ready to take control of your health, don’t hesitate! Head to Kvell today! I would recommend it to anyone looking for a personal, effective, motivational work out program.
Kallie Nettleton
By far this has been the best gym I have ever been with. I've been coming to Kvell for over 2 years now and I absolutely love the people. Workouts are challenging but fun and the group's enthusiasm helps push me to the next level.
Maureen Brewer
I initially hesitated joining Kvell because of the monthly cost compared to a "general" gym membership. Nearly 4 years later, I have no regrets about the investment. The classes are hard and short (read: doable! You CAN get through them!) and offered at times that I can get there. The support from the coaches is the same level and intensity and expertise that I experienced in collegiate sports. That being said though, Kvell is incredibly open to working with clients of all levels, shapes, and sizes. From my experience, everyone is welcome there in a very real way. Every exercise is designed for 3 different levels, and I've never worked out anywhere that was so accommodating, so focused on form and technique, and so committed to helping you reach your goals in measurable ways.
Hayley Hanes
When visiting family in Boise, I didn’t want to lose my workout momentum, so did a search of the gyms in the area. Kvell Fitness was highest on my list to check out. I didn’t want a formal CrossFit Box or a standard gym with cardio and weight equipment, instead I wanted a workout that focused on HIIT, Tabata, and Kettlebells. After dropping in and talking with a trainer, it felt like I found the right place. I was able to get quickly oriented and I returned later that day to work out.
Kvell Fitness didn’t disappoint! They have a number of sessions throughout the day. And the way their program is set up makes it easy to join in and offers variety and options according to your fitness level. Beginners to seasoned athletes can benefit.
The workout I completed was quick and well-rounded, covering strength, flexibility, and cardio. The other athletes were friendly and welcoming. Great coaching, form correction, and encouragement were readily provided.
I will definitely be back to pick up a workout when I’m back in town.
Theresa Willerup
In the 6 weeks I have been attending classes I’ve lost 5 lbs of fat and gained 4 lbs of muscle. I feel better and my clothes fit better. Love the instructors and the workouts are great. I need the focused exercises and intensity Kvell offers - I found I couldn’t get the same intensity of workout on my own. The mix of strength training and cardio is effective and I love the feeling I get for the rest of the day.
Theresa Sievers
The name may have changed from Fitness Revolution to The Lab to Kvell, but one thing that has not changed during my years working out with this wonderful group of trainers is their ability to inspire and motivate. They are in this business for the right reasons. They care about your health as much as you do and do everything in their power to make sure you have a successful and safe workout each and every training session you attend. They take interest in you, and every other person training with you, and foster a feeling of family and belonging. Never have I felt like I didn't belong, even as a new person doing my first Challenge. People of all fitness levels work together in an atmosphere of acceptance and encouragement. No matter what your fitness goals, they strive to help you achieve them. You can't get these things at your run of the mill gym. If you want an excellent and inclusive environment in which to better yourself, Kvell is definitely the place to go. Try it! You will certainly not regret the experience!
Tyler Brannon
We dropped in from out of town and it was perfect for me and my wife. We regularly exercise so we didn’t know what to expect. The class had all levels of fitness so we were able to modify the workout to the level we wanted. Coach Brett was very helpful and corrected my form during the workout. The best thing about this gym was how welcome I felt. They have a great community and if I lived here I would be a full time member. I recommend this gym for anyone who is looking for a community, connection and wants to feel better!
R Cafferty
A friend inspired me to try Kvell because she has had great success with the program. I have always had a gym membership but have not been very good about consistency and only run on a treadmill or used an elliptical...it would be fair to say that I was incredibly nervous to go somewhere new- not know what I was doing, look ridiculous, etc- complete gym intimidation. Kvell has
been fantastic for me- it is 45 minutes with numerous times which is a big factor in my attendance success, they have options for all fitness levels (from an amateur like me to an athlete that has been at it for years), it is an incredible work out- difficult, definitely- BUT, that is why I go- to change my body and strength, and Brett is great at helping a newbie like me learn how to do the basic things I've never done (since I've only done cardio in the past).They have challenges they offer frequently, and for those looking to see big results, I would highly recommend trying one. Kvell is an experience I would recommend to anyone looking to gain strength, lose weight, better their health, get fit-the various reasons we opt to work out.
Megan Abreu
I’m finishing up my third week at Kvell and I’m already feeling such a difference! I definitely love all the coaches, they help a lot on making sure you are doing the workouts correctly so you don’t hurt yourself and so you are getting a great workout! I definitely needed the structure of Kvell to keep me focused and achieving my goal. I am extremely happy that I found Kvell and for myself to be on track again!
Brian Dietrich
I was introduced to Kvell by a Navy Reserve colleague. I loved the training and nutrition guidance right from the start. If you are looking to get back in shape, looking for a new workout regimen or nutrition guidance, Kvell is the place for you. We support each other in our goals, at all levels. I became a Kvell ambassador shortly after joining. Brett and the staff at Kvell are world class. I can say that I am in the absolute shape of my life. Come down and check it out! It‘s still the best training location in town.
Megan Cox
Because I'm not as active in the winter I was looking for some type of fitness program to get me through late winter/early spring. Kvell fit perfectly into my schedule! I was able to get an awesome workout in on my lunch hour! The staff at Kvell was very quick in responding to my inquiry about their programs and worked with me to choose the option that would best fit my needs. Kvell does an amazing job of building a sense of community with those participating in classes. They know who you are and call you by name...even in a large group setting. Justin knew just how hard to push me and happens to choose GREAT music for the workouts!
Loren Husk
Great gym for everyone from beginners to athletes. Especially helpful for those people that are ready to make a serious change in their bodies and lifestyle. I came to Kvell wanting to maintain and get a great workout with some direction (to make sure I was not hurting myself). I was not expecting to find out that I have so many bad habits, needing that extra direction and also making some serious progress. Most importantly for me, the trainers are extremely knowledgeable and make sure to give every person the attention that you would get from a personal trainer. Every trainer knows your name and is genuinely interested in your performance and progress. Justin especially has the perfect tone and direction to make you feel encouraged and excited to come back for the next class.
mike ames
From week one everyone was friendly and supportive! Especially since we started at the end of the 3 week cycle ( it was the hard week!). The personal attention and instructions received throughout all the sessions really does make it feel like I have a personal trainer even though it’s a group setting. Just walk in and introduce yourself! You’ll be glad you did!
Kartheek Nagulapati
I have been working out at Kvell Fitness for more than a year now. Their program is structured with a unique set of exercises which motivate you to get in and workout everyday. The attention Sarah, Glen and other trainers give to each and every individual is simply amazing. The program helped me to gain confidence and stay motivated. OWN IT!
Kelly Jameson
As a former college athlete, I really needed a workout that would keep my fitness at that same level without getting injured. Brett meets you at your current level and pushes you beyond. I love the team atmosphere at Kvell and how supportive Brett and the rest of the crew is. I feel so much stronger and healthier, and I actually look forward to working out! Each day is new and challenging, which keeps the workouts fresh and exciting.
jim voulelis
Being a part of Kvell was a great move for my wife and I. The workouts compliment our active lifestyles and prepare us for running, skiing, cycling and all the other things we do. The workouts are under an hour and can be customized in intensity based on your individual fitness level or modified due to injury. It's the first gym that my wife and I can workout in the same class, at the same time and get a workout that is appropriate for both of us. I really appreciate the diversity of members in the class as all ages and fitness levels can come together. We have formed great friendships and the sense of "team" is palpable. Highly recommend!
Kellie Kozel
I just moved to the area and thought I’d try a local gym, and after the first week at Kvell I was completely sold! I’ve never loved working out, so the 45 minute classes are perfect and over before I know it! The trainers are super encouraging and helpful, and everyone else in the class is always so supportive as well. It’s honestly such a positive environment and I I feel like I’m getting healthier and fit instead of just losing weight. Can’t say enough good things about this place!
Jenna Furman
Great workout in 45 minutes! I like that everything is customizable to your fitness level so it's appropriate for those looking to get into shape and those wanting to stay in shape. Coach Glenn is great about pushing you to (safely) do more than you think you can do too. Would recommend for all fitness levels!
Matt Pierce
A super friendly and inviting gym! I've dropped in twice while visiting Boise, and both times I was welcomed in for a quick and fun workout. The programmed workout had different levels, so I could match movements to my skill and challenge myself as needed. Thanks Kvell, I'll be back next time I'm in town!
Heather G
Kvell is the best gym in town. I've be an active member for a year, and just talked my husband into joining too! The trainers are awesome, and extremely knowledgeable. They care about their clients and want to keep you uninjured and motivated to achieve your goals. If for some reason you can't do an exercise they have ways to help you get the same results doing an exercise you can do. In the past I have not enjoyed going to organized classes but this is something completely different, there is no competition or trying to out do someone else everyone is there for support and you are doing what you are capable of. I have belonged to many gyms over the years and this truly is the best gym I have ever belonged to.
Jessie Uehling
This is a great gym. My experience with past gyms has been that probability of success depends on pricing, schedule flexibility, trainer personalities/styles and sense of community. Kvell offers classes at convenient times, priced super competitively, and best of all are the people who work and work out there. The employees traverse being friendly and authoritative professionals seamlessly. They lead by example with their own commitment to fitness, but do so without coming off as condescending or intimidating. The workouts are offered with modifications for all fitness levels, and are attended by athletes of diverse ages and experience levels. Kvell attracts people with a certain personality type, the kind who make excellent accountabilibuddies. I would recommend it to anyone in the Boise area looking to make an investment in their well being.
Fred Costello
I joined Kvell for two reasons and got so much more. I like to bike, run, hike and ski and want to be able to transition from season to season with good strength and with a low risk of injury. Kvell is amazing at providing individual attention to fitness, strength, nutrition, and the mental challenges of life and fitness. This is hands down the most thoughtful and thorough help I have ever received from a gym. Join up and you won't be disappointed.
Richard Guinn
Brett and his team have created something amazing. Today was my first time in the gym and I was extremely impressed. Not only did I receive one on one assistance with my workout but I also got to participate with an entire crew of dedicated clients. People who have been coming for years and plan on continuing their fitness regime with Kvell. A great workout, environment and community.
Mitchell Bliss
Kvell is not only an awesome place to work out but also has a great support structure built in to help keep you motivated and achieve your goals. The coaches are awesome and really take the time to get to know their clients and what they are trying to achieve. Monthly body scans are provided with membership to help keep track of progress and the staff is always available if you have questions about meal planning or the workouts. I have throughly enjoyed working out at Kvell and the results I have seen!
Francesca Guare
I joined Kvell a few weeks ago and am already obsessed with it! The coaches are motivating and the workouts are killer. After the class is over I feel energized and constantly find myself looking forward to my next workout. They provide you with everything you would need to reach your fitness goals. I would recommend Kvell to anyone!
Troy Newton
Stop looking for your next workout plan! Kvell is more than worth the investment. I've been going for a little over 2 months now and absolutely love it. I just went through a reset and they built me a nutrition plan that is easy to follow and not crazy. The workouts are awesome along with the feel of a one on one training session. When you join you will understand that everyone that works at Kvell really does care about your health, safety and results. The wife and I are shooting for a full year of Kvell. You won't be disappointed you checked it out.
Paul Goldy
Joining Kvell raised my fitness to a new level – in only 6 months. My personal fitness plan was stalled for years and I was reluctant to shell out the $’s for a gym but not see results. Kvell overcame that barrier with the “bring a friend” program and I saw how I could work hard in only a 45 minute session with a bunch of other like-minded people. I signed up and go to sessions 3 or 4 times per week with the result of increased strength, flexibility and a personal commitment to monitor my diet resulting in a 15 lb. loss over 6 months.
The sessions are a sequence of intense exercises which are rarely in the same order making for variety and never boring. The focus is on resistance training and core strength with weights, resistance bands, etc. but I also learned some fun sounding exercises such as the “break dancer” and “renegade rows” which really work the core muscle groups. Never a dull workout.
I see that people are NOT excluded due to their fitness level with 1, 2, and 3 levels of fitness for each exercise. Fitness level 1 is for those who are new to working out, or have lapsed in their fitness, and I can see they feel very much included – especially when Brett, or other coaches, spend time with them. Level 2 (where I am) and 3 simply apply more resistance/weight/difficulty to each set of exercises. I think this is a great concept because so often people don’t work out because they are out of shape and get intimidated by the super fit people at the gym. That is NOT the case at Kvell.
I really like the workout session availability and set my own schedule to mesh with my work and personal schedule. For example this week for me it’s Monday 4pm, Wed 9am, Thurs noon and Fri noon – all to fit into my crazy work schedule. Plus, signing up for a session is so simple using the Kvell app on my iPhone.
Highly recommend Kvell for people who want to get in shape and are tight on time.
Scot Scheffel
I recently returned to Kvell after being away for a couple years. I can honestly say that this remains the best workout program for my busy life. The workouts have great variety and are adaptable to all strength and flexibility levels. Such a relief from my prior self-directed gym or home exercises. Brett and his staff are no nonsense but also great about making adaptations (if needed) for individual injuries and/or limitations. Classes always start and end on time - a huge plus! I would highly recommend Kvell to any friend or colleague. Thx for getting me back on track... again!
Athena Herman
Finding and working out at Kvell has been a life changing experience. I have been dancing since I was young and was active for most of my life until I hit college. I became so focused on my studies and the college experience that I let my fitness go. I started at Kvell last fall and was so excited to begin my fitness journey. I lost ten pounds and then took a break to finish strong with my graduation. I came back in January and so far have lost nine pounds. A Kvell workout is fun, fast-paced, and challenging and it has made me feel so much stronger after only a month. Thank you Brett, Glen, and Alyssa!

Kvell is an amazing place. The atmosphere is amazing and inviting. The group sessions are extremely beneficial and you really feel like you got a good workout in. If you are looking for a new place to work out this is definitely the spot.

I am not one for going to the "gym." Every time I started a gym membership, I would go for a couple weeks, become intimidated, and then lose motivation. All of this changed when I joined Kvell. Kvell isn't a normal gym! This is a training program designed to challenge every person from all different fitness perspectives. I love the High Intensity Interval Training (H.I.I.T) classes. They've changed my life. I credit my big change to a healthier lifestyle to the coaches at Kvell and Chelsie! Normally, Nate leads my classes and he's awesome! He's a wonderful teacher and he's not afraid to increase the challenge of the workout. Chelsie is so helpful with the nutrition side of the lifestyle change. She is a well of knowledge! Plus, she is sweet and encouraging, which makes embracing change easier. I recommend Kvell for anyone! I still grumble every now and then, but I live for the workouts. When I miss a day, it messes with my whole mood!
Janine Jameson
This workout is by far the best workout I have ever done, and I have worked out for many years and have tried everything. The science-based workout program has transformed my body in just 6 months. I am stronger, leaner and more confident.
Brett is an awesome coach/trainer/mentor. Even if the class is full, he will make you feel like you're the only one in the class. He pays attention to form to get the best results without injury.
I am so happy to be a part of the Kvell family. This is more than a gym, it incorporates lifestyle, wellness and nutrition. If you give 100% you will see results.
Denise Holstein
I have been a member of Kvell for over 3 years and it is the first gym that I go consistently! I love that the workouts are only 30 minutes. You're in and out but they kick your butt!!! The trainers make sure the moves are done with proper form and push you to do more than you think you can. GREAT place!
Colten Michael
Lovely little gym in the heart of Boise. I attend the morning classes and am always impressed with the quality of the trainers and the variety of exercises. The workouts are generally a tight 45 minutes (including warmups/stretching), which fits neatly into the morning routine.
Shelley Zimmer
I joined Kvell a few months ago and I really like it. I especially like the positive, specific coaching that I receive. The 45 minute workout is efficient and tiring! Much better than trying to maintain a program at a fitness center, the group atmosphere is encouraging!
Taya Sundell
My husband started at Kvell with personal training sessions. After seeing his results I was excited to try the workout. At first I was hesitant to quit my other gym membership because I thought it offered more variety. Boy was that wrong! I can truly say in the years I have worked out at Kvell there have been new and varied workout each week! Truly a great gym.
J Vpool
This is the most amazing workout location; session; group that I have ever gone to. In years past I have always had my own workout routine and even had personal trainers. I can assure you that these sessions have already done more for me than those individual sessions. The way that Kvell has this structured and the way that the coaches interact with each person makes this personal plus. I value that they take the time to not only share about technique, but also about the need to push ahead whether that is with more weight or faster movements. A definite must join!
brek orton
Being a “typical” gym meathead for the last 20 years, I was skeptical on how good of a workout I could get at KVELL. I wanted a change from my normal routine and tried their 21 days for a dollar trial. I am glad I did! KVELL is a great place to get a good solid workout in 45 minutes. (Guaranteed 45 minutes every day) The trainers are always watching and making sure that you are using the proper technique. They are also very good at keeping you honest and making sure that you don’t slack on your workout. (Esp the ones named Glenn ) :)
If you are looking for a good solid workout and don’t have a lot of time, you should definitely try Kvell.
Shay Pittman
Kvell has been amazing at getting me back into the swing of working out, but in a functional level. Coming from a CrossFit/soccer background I always enjoyed the group experience and the coaches encouragement to push myself to the level that my body needs. Kvell gives me that, but in a controlled environment where form and function takes precedence over weight/reps. They care about giving you the foundation of an overall fitness level that most don't. I highly recommend Brett and his coaches to anyone who's willing to improve their body to enjoy the life that they want/dream to/or currently enjoy.
Ana Braaten
Great instructor. Helped a lot with form! Everyone in the class was welcoming and friendly as well.
Brenda Murphy
Working out at Kvell has been awesome! The instructors are encouraging, motivating, and very helpful & patient with helping me find adaptive moves when needed. I actually look forward to my work-outs. Every level of fitness & ability is represented at each class that I have been too, which is very comforting. Just enough personal attention to encourage & ensure I'm getting the most out of my work-outs, but not overbearing. Scheduling my classes each week is easy & flexible, which is a must for me, as my days/weeks are never the same. I have worked out at other typical "gyms" and get bored with the basic cardio + same-old weight routines, over & over. This work out is motivating & the time literally flies by! I lost 5 pounds and 4 inches in my first 6 weeks. I think it's perfect for anyone at any level of fitness. Give it a try! You have nothing to lose but a few pounds!
Mikayla Tihonovich
Such an amazing experience and workout! The staff is very knowledgeable and the gym is great!
Robert Wycoff
Kvell is a huge breath of fresh air (and heavy sweat) from the normal gym routine! The staff are very supportive, motivating and knowledgeable about every exercise and constantly give constructive feedback to everyone to get the most out of each workout. These workouts are effective, efficient and perfect for those busy work week schedules! Love this place!
Gina Gorden
I tried Kvell during "bring a friend week" and immediately felt like part of the team. The coaches are welcoming, energetic and passionate about fitness. The workout is mapped out for you but flexible enough to meet you at your fitness level. The coaches are attentive and constantly checking to make sure your form is safe and correct. I loved the chance to have 1 free consultation with Gretchen, the Kvell dietician, and being able to use the Fit3D scan to get a baseline of my measurements and body composition. You also can't beat the chance to try it out for 21 days for $1. But from I've seen so far, I hope to be a member for a long time to come!
Tawny Lyons
Working out at Kvell has been an inspiring experience. The sessions are challenging and push you to your limits, but can be modified to different levels of ability. The trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, and there to help you each step of the way. The culture at Kvell is also very welcoming - everyone (regardless of ability) is there to reach a goal and support each other in achieving it! The environment is sleek and tempo of each circuit keeps you going.
Working out isn't easy. I'm stoked to have found a place that motivates me to do it!
Elizabeth Hutchinson
I decided to take advantage of Kvell’s $1 for 21 and I’m so glad I did! The coaches are always so nice, motivating, knowledgeable and encouraging. The 45 min session goes super fast and I feel great when’s it done. Everyday is a new training, so it is never boring. The facility is super clean with plenty of equipment for everyone. I definitely recommend and encourage everyone to try it out, you won’t be disappointed.
Steve Patterson
I have been training with Andrew to condition for special forces selection in the army and the results have been great. He is consistent, creative, pushes hard, and gets results. My mobility, strength and endurance has increased in the 5 wks we have been working together. He pays attention to his clients and tailors workouts specific to their needs. I have learned a lot working with him. I can recommend Andrew for those training for events, or those looking to increase their mobility, durability, endurance and strength to give them an edge in whatever their personal training goals may be.
Shaun Bonney
I want to thank the crew at Kvell for all that they do to ensure that their members receive a first class experience. The trainers go to great lengths to provide a quality fitness program tailored to give each participate a complete body workout. I am also impressed by the rotation of exercise sets and the attention each participate receives. My experience with both Nathan and Justin have been extremely positive. Thank you two for kicking my butt regularly. Kvell also offers the necessary resources to guide you through proper nutrition and healthy eating habits. It is truly a pleasure to know that with Kvell you are not alone, and that the entire "krew" is there to assist.
Thank you,
Shaun R. Bonney
Kelley Noe
I've had a long history with Kvell. I took a four year break and after dealing with back issues for several years I decided it was time to get back to the gym. Kvell was where I chose to go. The workouts are designed to make you stronger and not waste your time. Brett is constantly walking around making sure proper form (very important for people like me with back issues) and he helps you find a modification if you find that a certain move doesn't work. The workouts change every three weeks so your body is constantly challenged by new movements. I rarely give anything 5 stars but Kvell is the real deal.
Lesley Krone
Kvell is an amazing community that supports your health goals. I love that the workouts are short yet super effective. I've seen so much improvement in my body in just a few weeks. I also love the challenges that provide so much good information on health and nutrition, and give you the accountability you need to do the work and reach your goals.
Kayce Anderson
If you are on the fence about trying out Kvell, just do it! You’ll be greeted by the trainer the minute you walk in the door, which immediately will put you at ease, and you’ll get an amazing workout for the next 45 minutes. It doesn’t matter if you are in the worst shape of your life or the best, the workouts are catered to your fitness level. You’ll soon become part of an amazing community of people, all working to get fit and strong. Its such a powerful feeling!
Christian Grey
I started going to Kvell back in 2013, although it was called Fitness Revolution at that time. I have experienced the evolution of Brett's gym over the years from Fitness Revolution to "The Lab", now Kvell. These changes are more than just re-branding. They are a representation of Brett's commitment to the improvement of his fitness methodology, not his profit margin.
There are cheaper options out there, but unlike most gyms that thrive on large membership numbers and low-participation, Brett has created an environment of motivation and accountability. He wants you to show up. He wants you to succeed. The fact that classes are scheduled mitigates the mindset of "oh, I'll just show up whenever" - which often results in not showing up at all. The social aspect of the gym is unmatched - you will make friends who struggle with you, challenge you, and celebrate with you at the end of each workout. I have tried several big box gyms, like Planet Fitness, Axiom, YMCA, etc. This is the only gym that I have attended consistently and achieved a fitness level that I can be proud of. I am constantly motivated to improve and keep showing up. If you want to be stronger and healthier - this is the place to make it happen.
Lindsay Wienand
New member and very happy with my experience! Clean gym, friendly members and staff. Good amount of variety of exercises with focus on stretching and preventing injury which a lot of gyms do not focus on! 45 minutes classes on the dot so you can plan them in your day. One of the best gyms in Boise!
Brian Price
I started going to Kvell just over a year ago with one idea in mind which was to get as fit as possible before I went in for a hernia operation. Brett and the rest of the coaches were great to work with especially as things kept getting worse. I finally had the surgery and I credit the work that I did at Kvell and their help in getting me back up an to full strength in 2 weeks as opposed to the 4 plus that was mentioned to by the doctors. I have continued on after that and it is great since it is never really the same workout twice, they tailor everything to being short and intense but not boring. Would highly recommend them to anyone at any fitness stage.
Sara Baker
I've been training at Kvell Fitness for a little over 1 month, and am very pleased with my experience so far. Each workout can be tailored for different levels of fitness, from beginner to elite, and the trainers are constantly moving around the gym, checking for proper form and encouraging you to dig a little deeper and give a little more. The workouts last about 45 minutes, from beginning to end, and start promptly on the hour. The first 7 minutes of the workout are spent doing foam rolling, followed by a warmup and explanation of the workout, and then the workout itself. The monthly membership includes unlimited classes and body scans - I find the body scans particularly helpful because the trainers help you learn to read it, and you can see a breakdown of your body composition (body fat, water weight, lean muscle mass) so you can really get an idea of what you need to work on (drinking more water, eating more protein, decreasing body fat percentage). There are numerous classes offered during the day, starting as early as 5am, so there are no excuses not to get your workout in!
Leah Larson
Once upon a time I was a phenomenal athlete. I played competitive Water Polo for a decade, Softball, and Roller Derby for even longer. After many crippling injuries I thought I had an inability to play the sports I loved; I lost myself and gained 100 lbs. I didn’t know who I was without sports and coaching. Fast forward to four years later, I found Kvell thanks to my co-worker! Kvell has inspired me to be the best version of myself, given me hope to be better than I was as an athlete. I am tremendously comfortable every time I step into Kvell. No one has ever judged me. Every single trainer is above phenomenal, supportive and encouraging with such a positive attitude. The training is superb to anything I’ve tried. Kvell keeps me engaged, accountable, and I never get bored!! Every day I am grateful that I walked through the front door of Kvell. Kvell is helping me get back to my true self and that is worth every single penny I pay!
Jessica Lawrence
The dedicated staff at Kvell really know their stuff. I have had a few injuries outside of the gym: one shoulder and one leg tendon injury. The trainers are quick to guide you through the workouts so you still get the most you can out of it, without further injury. They are helpful and knowledgeable, not just in the work out room, but with nutritional assistance and goal setting as well. If you have the determination, Kvell will help you reach your goals. Money well spent with as much guidance as you receive. Thanks Kvell.
Kelly Strough
I started last Monday, today is Wednesday of week two for me. So far every coach knows me by name. Each class, the coaches observe every participant. For example Brett noticed on two of my workouts, that I was not going, "hard enough." He suggested I add weight or increase the difficulty level. This really helped me because I may have thought I was reaching my peak, taking me to the next level.
I am really enjoying my time with the Kvell community making me feel comfortable. This is also the first time in over two years that I look forward to every workout session.
Thank you!
Tyson Funk
I visited Kvell on bring a friend week to give it a shot. The gym had a very friendly atmosphere right from the beginning. Brett was very helpful throughout the whole workout. He was encouraging and also gave positive critiquing on technique. The workout itself was fast paced, unique, fun, and effective. I will be going to Kvell again and I highly recommend it!
Tannan Koehl
I joined Kvell about a month ago and it's been great! I love that its a little different from regular gyms, varying workouts but not needing a lot of specialized uquipment. They maximize the routines, giving you a full workout in only 45 min. It's a super efficient way to bust out a workout - even if you're always feeling rushed on time! (like me!) Lastly, they have classes all throughout the day, eliminating any excuse to get there! Brett is very knowledgable about form/technique and the overall environment is very welcoming and supportive. I would recommend to anyone, of any ability or goals!
Art Butts
Listen, I hardly ever take the time to write reviews. However, as I have gained so much from my short time at Kvell, I thought I would provide some thoughts on my personal experience. I hope that anyone considering taking the Kvellian leap (or squat) will find it useful. I have been attending Kvell since early February 2019 when I took the 21 day trial after being brought by a friend. I was struggling mentally with personal issues and numerous attempts over the years at getting back into a normal routine of physical activity typically floundered after a week or two. Finding motivation to get to a gym and actually push myself while at the gym were difficult for me. I was in a rut. The most immediate benefit after a few sessions was a profound improvement on mood and outlook. I knew exercise was supposed to help the mind but I did not realize how important it was. I also learned how weak I actually was and over the few months I have been attending, I have seen big improvements in my strength, stamina, and endurance.
Kvell exercises are in a group setting, which for me has been a new, but more effective and enjoyable fitness experience. Sharing sweat, pain, and encouragement builds camaraderie and there is a sense of community at the gym. This is further fostered by periodic opportunities to exercise for charity, participate in group and individual performance-based challenges, group hikes, and even a Spartan team. It appears that there have been a lot of friendships formed while Kvelling. There is a common message of achieving not just fitness goals, but lessons for success at anything you do.
The most basic description of the program would be that we cycle through a new 3-week set of exercises or “Phase” planned out by the Kvell staff. Together they result in a total body workout. Week one, the “recovery” week, we learn the exercises and proper form. There is a different routine every day of the week. Weeks 2-3 follow the same routine but increase in intensity and duration. Each individual exercise can be modified for difficulty. There is no room for boredom or slacking with this format. There is no judgement amongst members and it is a very positive environment. A coach will walk through the room providing encouragement and helping people with posture and technique. (Still working on keeping my back straight!) The coaches (Brett, Glenn, & Alyssa) are great teachers and awesome people and I have been amazed at their ability to remember the names of all the Kvellians.
Kvell is not the cheapest gym membership around but there are financial incentives for attendance, which is a great motivator. Speaking from experience, I have easily spent more on gym memberships that I wasn’t using regularly. Conversely, attending is now one of the highlights of my day and I am bummed when I don’t get my Kvell on. There are other benefits to Kvell which I have not yet taken advantage of: group/individual challenges, nutrition and diet information, routine 3-D body scan analysis, and more. I realize that this is getting long, so to sum it up: Kvell has been the most unique and effective fitness/gym experience that I have tried. It has become an important part of my life and I have experienced many positive mental and physical benefits. I really can’t recommend it enough. You can give it a try with the 21-day for $1 intro, so what do you have to lose? It was certainly one of the best uses of $1 I have ever spent. Own it!
Anna Cowles
I've been working out at Kvell since April. Having never been to any type of gym before, I had no idea what to expect. Kvell is the real deal. What I got was support and personal accountability. The workouts are amazing. Having coaches who want to see you succeed and grow is priceless. Kvell does not dissapoint!
Mariah Irwin
I loved my time at Kvell. I signed up for the 6 week challenge, and it definitely lived up to its name. The trainers are really good at pushing you, but also keep your humanity intact. The environment is super positive, and it was really awesome to see people from multiple backgrounds and generations at every one of the training sessions I attended.
Also, shortly after my 6 week bootcamp ended, I only had a few weeks left in Boise. I wanted to continue my time at Kvell, but since time was short I wasn't super hopeful that my time frame would fit into any of the time commitments they'd already organized. After talking to Chelsie, she totally took care of me and worked it out so that I could continue and not have to worry about anything. Customer service says a lot about a gym and how they view their clients, and I can certainly say that Kvell is one of the few that have a sincere interest in the people they serve.
Samantha Andreas
Gyms have never been part of my fitness routine. I actually despised them until I joined Kvell. I have been a Kvellian for a year and half and I don’t foresee me quitting in the near future. I enjoy the workouts, feel stronger than ever and I appreciate the accountability. If you have wanted to try a gym but have felt unsure, come give Kvell a try!
Danielle Davies
Here's the thing, kvell is expensive, but if you don't show up, I'm pretty sure a team of henchman come to your front door and drag you to class. Ok, I don't know if that happens, but it's expensive enough that I'm not going to not show up, like I did at every other gym I ever joined. The coach will welcome you by name when you walk in the door from Day 2 onward and then ask where you've been if they haven't seen you in a while just to make you feel extra shame. You are paying for accountability but also a concise workout adaptable for all skill levels, but damn some of them older folks can crush it. Also the first three weeks are like $1 so you pretty much don't have anything to lose, except $1. So go spend 45 minutes at kvell.
Meagan Cramer
I've always considered myself to be athletic. However, due to the sedentary nature of my job, over the past few years I lost the energy I once had.
Kvell has truly been a life changing experience. After attending classes the past 3 months, I can tell my body is stronger than it has ever been. The sessions are challenging and push you to your limits. You are in-charge of modifying the workouts to your ability and the instructors are always there keeping a close eye on your form. It is great knowing you are in good hands and that they care about each and every person that comes through the door.
Ronnie Hulce
Lots of things to love about Kvell. The are multiple class times to choose from throughout the day, which is great! I can get busy and am never certain what time I can make it in, the Kvell App is fast and easy to schedule/change class times. The classes are always 'total body training' giving my entire body a great workout. The atmosphere is outgoing and energetic, you never feel like you don't belong.
Elizabeth Mediate
I joined Kvell because I was looking for a good workout and a solid community. I’ve gotten all of that and more since my first session. The people are great, instructors help me with my form so I stay healthy, and I’m pushed by coaches when they know it’s time for me to up my game. I don’t dread my “workout classes” anymore. I head to the gym ready to sweat and get stronger. Thank you, Kvell!
Kathy Starman
If you are looking for functional, accountable workouts in a positive atmosphere with amazing trainers you will love Kvell Fitness. They will meet you where you are fitness-wise & will help you as much or as little as you need with nutrition.
Tyler Hopper
Kvell is a great fitness experience that caters to all levels and experience. The staff always greets you by your name and is good about coaching proper form and biomechanics throughout each workout. Their mobile app and class offerings make it easy to squeeze fitness into a busy schedule.
Alyshia Baker
Love this gym!! The classes are only 45 minutes, but they make the most of every second. There are different exercises for every level of fitness and the trainers are upbeat, positive, and super helpful! The best way to jumpstart your day!
Kate Bivens
Kvell is absolutely phenomenal!! From being able to do total body scans to the amazing workouts and all of the resources available have made it possible for me to finally move towards my health and fitness goals. The accountability factor and ability to advance to different levels of training make this program unbeatable. No exaggeration, Kvell is helping change every aspect of my life! I would recommend to anyone!
Amber Weaver
I love Kvell! This welcoming gym provides an effective 45 minute workout for ALL fitness levels. My trainer, Glen, is friendly, knowledgeable and encouraging. I can’t recommend this gym enough.
britney smith
Kvell provides knowledgable coaches, efficient and effective workouts and a group energy that keeps you motivated through the entirety of the workout. Kvell is great for anyone new to fitness while also challenging enough for athletes offering modifications according to fitness level. 10/10 would recommend for any fitness level.
Jesse Remeis
Kvell is an awesome place to workout! The workouts are challenging and rewarding, and I always leave feeling stronger and motivated. It's an awesome way to start the day!
They've been super flexible with my schedule, and the staff is friendly and motivating.
Tracy Melbihess
Kvell is a fantastic gym/community. Workouts are effective, motivating, and founded on scientific principles. I have gotten stronger and leaner with Kvell than any other program I’ve ever done. Kvell believes in personal accountability, no excuses, hard work. If you want results, look no further!!! Love!
liz preite
So grateful that I found Kvell. Everyone is super welcoming and knowledgeable. I look forward coming in and working out, it’s also a bonus that it’s only 45 minutes. If you are new to working out definitely try Kvell. The staff here are super helpful when you have questions and don’t hesitate to help you out!
Jennifer Tomlinson
Kvell is a great gym. I am stronger than I have been in years and the 45 minute workouts are easy to fit into a busy schedule. Brett has designed the workouts to be fast paced, challenging and painful but super efficient.
Shamarie Hart
I joined an eight week fitness challenge with Kvell. It has been amazing! I am so much stronger six weeks into the challenge than I ever imagined I could be. I love the workouts. The nutrition support has also been great. I highly recommend Kvell.
Jamie Scott
Kvell is a friendly and fast workout with accommodations for those new to fitness and those that are old pros. Great variety and convenient class times. Coaches are great.
Micki Weiner
Awesome and efficient workout!! I travel for a living and came across Kvell through an internet search. I honestly wasn't 100% sure what to expect, as in some of the smaller cities I've been to, getting an great workout can be a tough thing to find. The staff was super friendly and helpful and worked with me, my schedule, and my short time in town. The trainers are wonderful and give tons of attention and correct any cheats in form that the body may attempt. The workout is only 45 minutes and it kicks your ass! They offer different levels of each exercise so the same class can literally work for someone just getting started on their fitness journey, or someone like me who is a regular fitness enthusiast. Happy I found Kvell and I will be back for sure, if I'm ever back in Boise!
Bonnie Shelton
Kvell is the perfect fit for my busy lifestyle. I love that all I have to do is show up and I know I’ll get a great workout in 45 minutes, then I’m back to my day. I’ve seen amazing changes in my body and better yet - I feel strong! It’s an awesome community that keeps me motivated to work harder and continue to get stronger.
Aaron Williams
Been going to Kvell for a few months now. I highly recommend trying them out. The workouts are set up in a small group setting with a trainer guiding, encouraging and correcting positions for proper motion throughout the 45 min workout. It’s far more effective and motivating than working out solo. Brett is extremely knowledgeable in fitness and nutrition and is always open for sharing tips, tricks and techniques. I signed up for a full year and got a small discount over month to month.
Lauren Flynn
I recently joined Kvell and I am loving it so far! The trainers are all great and very welcoming. I love showing up and not having to think about what to do, instead the workouts are all expertly planned, all I have to do it show up. The community is great and there are many class times to choose from.
Marvin Pepper
The Kvell experience has been excellent, Brett and his team do a great job.
It’s simple, effective, challenging and yet still fun. It’s amazing to look around the room full of people who’ve just pushed themselves to their personal limits… and everyone is smiling.
I highly recommend Kvell to anyone who’s looking for a complete fitness program.
Todd Ludlow
Kvell Fitness is friendly, pushed me to be better, and helped me to achieve my fitness goals. I was very skeptical when I first joined, but the results were incredible. I dropped my body fat in half and felt ten years younger. While they pushed me, they also ensured that I maintained proper form so that I would not injure myself . Had I not moved out of the area, this would still be my gym.
Steven Detton
The coaches are great - very friendly and knowledgeable. Workouts are tailored to fit people of all skill levels, which I appreciate! Very challenging but not impossible, and there is a great variety so it doesn’t get boring. The hard foam rollers as part of the warmup has been very helpful to roll out sore muscles and prevent injury. An excellent place to work out!
CeCe Cheney
Kvell Fitness in Meridian is the best! I love the atmosphere, the workout structure and the coaches. Any stage of fitness level is welcome and they really know their stuff. I feel fantastic and ready to conquer the world after a session, can't say enough about this place!!
Tami Hinderager
I have been going to Kvell for years now. I am a rediculously busy full time vet and full time mother. I live for my kvell workouts. They are everything I need and I have seen incredible results. Its the only program that I have tried including F45, crossfit, YMCA, all the other gyms that has given me consistent and exciting results. I am going into early menapause so losing weight is difficult and KVELL makes it happen. My before and after pictures are so fun to look at because I did that (with the help of KVELL). More importantly it makes you so strong and functional in the real world. Picking up kids, rushing them to school, running up stairs, climbing mountains, carrying in groceries--thats where I noticed it. Not just the abs and muscles but my ability to do everything and it all felt easy. I also have 5 yes 5 autoimmune diseases and my flares and exhaustion and my inflammatory markers have almost resolved with healthy eating (KVELL has eating/educational challenges that are SO SO worth it) and KVELL workouts. I have more energy, I am happier, and I sleep SO well. I LOVE this program. Its super scientific so YOU GET RESULTS and its fun and its super sustainable! I have done these workouts with a mid 70 year old that could hardly walk with bad knees and she stuck with it and was doing legit lunges within a few months. Any age, Any shape, Any health, just bring some desire and passion for making you life better and KVELL is the place. DO IT! OWN IT! You won't regret it!
Kris Peterson
If your like me and don't know how to workout in a gym I highly recommend Kvell Fitness. The trainers are consistently pushing to work hard but more importantly maintain form. Plus its nice being in and out within 45 minutes and feel like your ass just got kicked! It has helped me feel stronger in my mountain biking and handstand dragonfly practice. ;)
Tina Bird
Kvell Fitness and Nutrition is the absolute best workout facility on the planet! I recommend with 100 stars. Training cycles are expertly designed, exercises are explained daily and the awesome coaches make sure you understand proper technique and how to execute it. It’s fun and my fellow Kvellians are so motivating. You can’t go wrong with 3 weeks for $1 and I guarantee you’ll be hooked once you try it!
Kristina Martin
Hands down the best gym. It's like having a personal trainer by your side and guiding you, without actually paying for the high costs of personal training. The staff is well-educated on physical fitness and nutrition, so you know you'll be getting life-changing advice and not some fad diet and exercise plan. Cannot say enough good things about Kvell and it's employees!
Donald Jewell
I am an older man and have worked out and done active sports my entire life. Basketball, running, hiking/backpacking, skiing, aerobics, lifting, cycling, tennis, hot yoga, you name it... I have been working out at Kvell for the last eight years and it's the best all-around workout I have ever had. I have controlled my weight, improved my strength, gained flexability and endurance all without injury. Brett, Glenn and the entire staff are very professional and supportive. Highest recommendation!

Working out at Kvell has helped me stay consistent with my workouts. The coaches always greet you with a smile and it's a fun environment! I'd recommend Kvell to anyone looking to get in good, efficient workouts.
Bill Moats
I have worked out for years and as I've gotten older find it harder to motivate myself and get the results I want. Decided to try the Kvell 6 wk challenge and now that it's over I have become a regular member. I'm stronger, more flexible and have more endurance. I really like the very efficient 45 min. workout session that are non-stop and target every area of the body while getting a cardio and strengthening workout at the same time. . Also there are 3 different levels you can choose to work at during each session so you don't have to worry about keeping up with anyone else, just push yourself as hard as you want. Brett and staff greet everyone by first name from day one and every time you come in. They also circulate throughout the group during the entire workout session insuring proper technique and safety with everyone. Not into the latest fad diet or exercise program, but well researched exercise and common sense nutrition. Professional staff, very efficiently run and you always feel good when you leave (bad when you're working out:) ) and look forward to coming back for the next session. Try it out with the 6 wk challenge.

Kvell offers effective, efficient, and well-researched workout programming in a purpose-built space with excellent coaches who know you by name from Day 1.
Like many people, I was struggling with working out consistently. I knew I liked working out, but I would quickly enter "analysis paralysis" when starting to think about what I should do for the hour I'd given myself at the gym. I'd put in tons of time researching, only to get to the gym and need to compete with everyone else for equipment and the smallest piece of open space to actually do the workouts I'd planned. I'd end up spending most of my hour at the gym moving equipment out of people's way, which I guess is a workout unto itself, albeit an ineffective one!
Kvell is addresses all these common issues. They do all the research for you - figuring out the most effective exercises, pairings, and scheduling. The programming occurs in three-week chunks, which is enough time to get the hang of the movements without succumbing to boredom or plateaus. Coaches make sure you're doing the movement correctly to prevent injury and will push you to increase weight or difficulty once they've seen you consistently achieve at your current level. The classes are 45 minutes, exactly, including a warm-up. They limit class sizes so that there is enough equipment for everyone to do all the movements without any waiting around or mid-class reorganization. There is only one class "type" to choose from, and it is offered multiple times throughout the day to accommodate all sorts of schedules.
I didn't think I was going to like Kvell as much as I have - I was used to solo, self-directed workouts where I would show up when I wanted, put on my headphones and zone out. I was nervous that group fitness was going to require I share a fun fact about myself every class (honestly, a nightmare) and that having sign-ups and set start times would feel limiting. But…the results have spoken for themselves. Where previously I might have made it to the gym once a week (or less), in the 10 weeks since starting at Kvell I’ve made it 3-5 times a week, even amidst holiday and work travel. I am genuinely sad when I can’t make it but feel all the better prepared for how to efficiently make use of my hotel gym while on the road.
Out of everything, the thing I've loved best about Kvell is that unlike other gyms with similar programming or formats, you are not competing with the other people in your class. No one is recording reps on a board, timing workouts, or ranking participants. You are accountable only to yourself, which I've found to be way more effective and motivating than the more common external competition. At my old gyms, I might push beyond what was healthy on a given day to get a PR or beat someone's record. I'd end up injured or so sore I couldn't workout the next 3-4 days. Conversely, sometimes knowing that I'd be pitted against other people in the class kept me from wanting to show up for fear of not performing well.
I’m sure this, along with everything else I’ve mentioned, was by design. Brett and his crew are incredibly thoughtful and intentional with every element of the programming, space, and community. If you want to get stronger or fitter, it’s hard to imagine a better place to do so than Kvell.

I used to wonder what it was about this gym that made people look so happy when they walked out...and then I tried it! The workouts are intense, and they are fun. They change constantly so it's impossible to get bored. And, the energy in the gym is awesome! Everyone is at a different place in their fitness journey, they are supportive of each other, and just happy to be there. I also really appreciate the guidance from the trainers because their goal is to help everyone have good form, build strength without injury, and push themselves to have a great workout! I feel so lucky that I don't wonder anymore, I get to BE that happier, healthier person walking out!
Lisa Dean-erlander
I enjoy the variety of the workouts at Kvell, the fact that you can be in and out in under and hour, the personal support from the coaches, and the positive attitude of everyone there. I enjoy working out at Kvell--and I have yet to find a gym that made me feel that way. Thank you!
Jamie Hausman
I've been with Kvell for almost one month, and since the start, it's been a fun and effective way to get fit. The workouts are different every day, and the trainers are incredibly helpful, energetic and considerate. I look forward to my workouts now, which is transformation enough for me, but I am also seeing results in my body and overall energy level. If you're on the fence, check it out.
Denise Holstein
I’ve been going to Kvell since before it was Kvell! I’ve been though a couple of their name changes! And it’s always been awesome!!! Knowledgeable trainers, friendly environment, they know everyone by name, and it’s a great workout! I’ve had to dip in and out over the years but I’m always welcomed back with open arms! No judgement!
Sawtooth Snowkiting
I have had a phenomenal experience at Kvell. After trying everything from the YMCA, to Crossfit and hot yoga I've settled on the workouts here and am not looking back.
They have well-rounded full body workouts which leave you feeling fantastic...sore in a good way, but already looking forward to the next workout. The class is constantly changing as they rotate through 3 week workout segements so you're never getting bored, and are always being challenged.
Kimberly Guevara
Kvell Fitness is the place to go for full body workouts, small workout groups, and great coaching. Glen is the best, he will help you improve your posture, techniques, and motivate you throughout the workout to push yourself. I am also seeing results, Kvell sends emails daily reminding you to stay on track with fitness and nutritional goals.
Carrie Cook
Kvell changed my mind about fitness classes!! I've always said that I hate fitness classes but Brett Denton and his crew at Kvell changed my mind. As a busy professional, I get in, get out, all in 45 minutes. Flexible online booking. High quality programs and instruction. Clean facilities. Daily motivational emails from Brett. I look forward to my training each week.
Lyndsay Gomez
I recently completed the 6 week challenge at Kvell and it felt amazing! The classes take out all the guess work for getting in a good workout, just show up and do the work! The classes are 45 minutes long and packed with different exercises, you'll certainly get in a good sweat. I liked it so much I ended up moving to a membership and I can't wait to make more progress.
David H
the two years I've been going to Kvell have changed my life. When I started I'd had knee problems that kept me from being as active I'd always been and my weight & body showed it. The trainers took time to understand my objectives & concerns and guided me into a program that allowed me to gradually improve my mobility & health. With the knowledge and encouragement of Brett & his crew of coaches Kvell has become an integral part of my life. It has changed me in many ways, all positive! I can't say enough good about Brett & Kvell!
Katie Ratliff
Kvell is great! There's not a better gym in town when it comes to class offerings throughout the day. The team is super positive and push you as much as you need to be pushed. They also have great playlists which makes the 45 minute classes go by pretty fast. I love the feeling of accomplishment whenever I leave as I know I've just had a great workout!
Sparky Steward
When we moved to Boise to be close to family, we were hoping to find a gym that was as good as the one we had. We found one even better! “Kvell Fitness”. Just a few of the reasons are: All levels are accompanied at once. You get in, get your workout done and your out, feeling like a million bucks. The staff has been amazing and personable, it’s like family. You are always in the loop of what’s going on. I love “Kvelling”
Sara Arkle
Brett and the Kvell team are great to work with. Because, face it, you will WORK. I have been active all my life but have never been stronger than I am after 5 months with this team. The workouts are challenging and rewarding. The thing I didn't expect was the wonderful culture Kvell creates. I appreciate the "be your best self" motivation and am inspired every day by the folks I am meeting.
Lee Frederickson
Kvell...LOVE IT!!
I started a few months ago after having a baby and taking a year off of workouts of any kind. I was quite a bit nervous to start but that quickly disappeared! The Kvell team is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I never felt judged or embarrassed, but instead motivated and determined. The array of class times offered and 45 minute efficient workout structure has left me with no excuses not to succeed.
Thanks Kvell!!
Bryan Rodriguez
Went here for a morning exercise session while visiting family. This routine can be as difficult or as easy as you want it to be. They have 3 different levels for each exercise allowing people of all fitness levels to get the most out of their workout. Our instructor Brett was excellent at giving pointers and making sure everyone’s form was on point. I immediately felt welcomed, very friendly environment. Highly recommend making this a part of your fitness routine if you live in the Boise area.
Adrienne Dorison
My husband and I attended a Friday evening class recently and LOVED this workout, and more importantly this community. We immediately felt welcomed and were paired up with some new workout friends who made us feel right at home during the entire class. Our coach corrected my form in ways that no trainer has ever bothered to do and I felt really taken care of overall while getting a really great unique workout!
Sheemers
I've been going to Kvell for about three months now from a company sponsored challenge. Now that the challenge is over, I'm still going! These guys are fantastic. In three months I've lost 9% body fat, and about 20 lbs of fat. I feel so much better about myself and I have so much more energy every day. I sleep better, I eat better, and I really do feel better, and it's because I've been coming in to Kvell 2-3 times a week consistently.
They have a great team that is engaging and supportive. They start you with a 21-day nutrition reset that really helps set the tone for what you need to do. They're very encouraging and helpful, without being pushy or arrogant about what they do. If you're open to making a change in your life and health and physique, this is a wonderful place to come to.
The workouts are great and varied every day. Everything is group work, and very flexible, with times throughout the day. I have co-workers that like to make it in the morning and I find it easier to go in the evening. The trainers they have leading the sessions are fun and encouraging. I've never felt uncomfortable or awkward or self-conscious going in. All you have to do is bring yourself and an open attitude and be ready to push yourself. Not knowing what you're going to do on any day you go in is fun and keeps it fresh. I love the structure and the routine.
If you're looking for a great workout, come in and give these guys a month of your time and you'll be convinced just like me.
chelsea Brown
My experience at Kvell has always been top notch! Justin, and the whole training staff, go above and beyond to get to know each client and their needs. They use your name every time you see them. It is amazing how just that small touch increases your engagement with the process. The tribe of people you will meet and train with at Kvell is another added bonus. They support each other, and manage to smile at you through HARD CORE and effective workouts. Love this place!
LacyLeigh Goroski
The best 45 minutes you could give yourself! The coaches make sure you are getting the best workout for YOU. There is something for everyone and any workout can be modified for what you can handle. The coaches are helpful, motivating, and make you push yourself. Do not regret one second of my Kvell experience!
Mike Guryan
Update 9/27/2021 - Kvell is STILL the best! 10 years a member this December. After a round of chemo this spring and summer I'm back and improving every week. Kvell is an essential part of my recovery plan.
There is much more to fitness than pushing weights or doing burpees. You need a complete plan for both mental and physical health. The Lab covers all the bases with great coaching. They check in with each and every member with support and encouragement. They give attention to the details of form and level of effort. They put the work in to understand the nuances of nutrition and pass that knowledge on.
I'm into my 4th year now. I cannot believe I've stuck with it this long, but the Lab is that good, I'm still learning and I'm still getting stronger at 60.
Marissa Wickland
Game changer ! I have an insanely busy schedule and Kvell gives me the workout my body craves in 45 minutes. I love going mid-day on my lunch hour since it is conveniently downtown. The trainers are thorough with their demonstrations and offer plenty of different modifications throughout the class. I was worried my bad knees would hold me back, but I've never felt better. I'm hooked!! I'd recommend it to anyone; there truly is something for everyone in that crazy green gym!
Karina Crosby
Kvell is the best place to come to workout. Trainers are always looking out for your form, they help, push and motivated you to nail your workouts. All the staff are able to help you to reach your goals. You never get bored, the routines are different everyday. I love this place!!!
M'lea McDonald
I joined Kvell in 2016 as part of a fitness challenge. I was 25 pounds over weight and totally out of shape -- I was desperate to feel better! More than a year later I look forward to my workouts at Kvell and my physical self has been transformed! The greatest part, beyond being in the best shape of my life, is how strong I feel. I LOVE feeling STRONG!!! Strength goes beyond outward appearances, it becomes in who you are. I love Kvell for what it has given me: strength, health and confidence in myself.
Steve Despot
I've been a member since the start 10 years ago. I have increased my muscular endurance, balance and flexibility. This has allowed me to be more active in my personal life by biking and hiking and living an active healthy life. The Kvell Fitness Center has also been instrumental in rehabing after a spinal surgery. I highly recommend Kvell If you are seeking living a healthy active life.
Melissa Bacon
I joined Kvell Fitness back when it used to be called Fitness Revolution and loved it for many reasons. The workouts were great and challenging. But the one thing that stuck out the most was the instructor Brett Denton. He really focused on each individual and made you feel good about yourself. I am not surprised at all that his business is now booming more than ever.
Tyler Musson
Kvell Fitness gives you every building block to health and fitness success in the most strategically thoughtful and holistic program I’ve ever seen in a lifetime of intermittent periods of being fit in my own life. In my opinion the perfect recipe for success would be education + inspiration + mindset + scientifically proven workout routines that are sustainable and scalable by skill level/age/strength + accountability + autonomy/time management/flexibility + incentives/rewards + variety + teamwork + exceptional customer experience = a sustainable health and fitness system for for life!
As a husband, father, executive, and entrepreneur managing my time and having the flexibility to accomplish my health and fitness goals is my #1 priority as I have seen more growth in every aspect of my life flow from a fitness first mindset than any other “hack” I have ever integrated into my daily ritual. Kvell, for me, is the best of all worlds and Brett Denton has masterfully developed the ultimate fitness lifestyle system in my opinion.
Last but not least, the coaches! Every Kvell coach that I have had the pleasure to learn from all bring their unique personalities and love for “people growing” to the table; Brett, Glenn, and Sarah all bring a genuine desire to serve you during your 45 min sesh.
If you are serious about rapid transformation and developing a habit for life one day at a time then I would enthusiastically recommend you try Kvell Fitness above all other Boise gyms, Meridian gyms, or Eagle gyms! These guys truly live their “Why” and run a stellar business to stand the test of time!
PS - As a professional marketer I have never seen a company integrate every branding and customer experience fundamental essential to sustainable success in today’s environment with total integrity. Outstanding authenticity! I wish you all mountains of success, blessings, and good karma!
Alisha S
I joined Fitness Revolution 4 ½ months ago on the recommendation from a friend and haven’t looked back. I’ve never considered myself in shape and core strength was a figment of my imagination. I’ve had a few stints with other work outs like P90X but an hour + workout 6 days a week was not realistic for me long term. Nothing has stuck until Fitness Revolution. 30-45 minutes, 3 times a week? THAT is a commitment I can make! The workouts are tough but they fly by. Brett, Josh & Justin are caring coaches that have taught me the importance of correct form and consistency. Since starting I’ve lost inches, my posture has improved and my muscles are more defined. I’m much stronger and this has transferred across all settings. I’m a better snowboarder, golfer and I can’t wait to try out my ‘new’ balance while backpacking this summer. I highly recommend Fitness Revolution! Great place, great coaches and great results.
Gretchen LeMay
I joined Kvell just over one month ago, nearly 30lbs over weight, having no energy or motivation. I have since lost 12lbs. and 2.8% bf simply by attending three 45 minute classed per week and eating clean! I have gained so much strength, but what is more, Justin and Nathan push me to use the correct form with every exercise and to use more weight when they know I'm ready! It is personal training in a group setting. No question goes unanswered! I look forward to every workout! Kvell is a happy and safe place to be at any level of fitness!
Nicole Rounds
My original review below was from 2017 and I would give them ANOTHER 5 star review now if I was able. The team at KVELL is truly amazing. They always support their clients and fitness goals, whatever that may be.
I joined just over seven years ago and it is still the best decision I have made for my health and fitness.

Stop looking for a gym and personal trainer, you have it all right here! I joined Kvell 2 years ago and my nick name should be YoYo because that's how my progress was. I would lose weight, gain some back, lose a lot of weight, gain some back. My progress has been slow, but the last 6 week challenge I 100% committed myself to the process and I feel in love with myself again. These dedicated coaches NEVER gave up on me and they were there to help when I needed it. Not to mention the Kvell members are the best support group you could ever have. All you need is 45 minutes, three days a week to change your life!! You won't regret it! Go Krew!
Aaron Lapp
Started 3 weeks ago. Love the atmosphere and friendly coaching staff. I have made a few friends here already. The most motivating portion is there is nothing to decide...you show up and throw down. Every workout has something for everyone from the beginner to the advanced athlete. You can tailor your own workout to match how you are feeling that day. Highly recommend trying Kvell.
Alli Kearns
Kvell is a gym that actually delivers on what they promise. Brett and team have personally helped me reach my goals through their proven process and the individual attention extended to everyone. I really appreciate that they know everyone on a first name basis which is a small indication of how they are tuned in to each person's individual goals, exercise form for every movement and also modifications when necessary. This combo means Kvell is a great all-around experience delivering a challenge, fun and results. Thank you, Kvell!
Maci Richardson
I've been going to Kvell for three months now and absolutely love it! The classes are well put together and enjoyable, as well as effective. I've never followed a workout regime like I have with Kvell and have recommended to a few friends and all of them have signed a membership after doing their 21 day trial!
Anna Holcomb
During my time at Kvell, I already feel stronger and more capable of achieving my fitness goals! The work outs are fun and challenging, and the staff is incredibly encouraging. Definitely worth it!
Amy Clark
Kvell is like no other program I have done before! The staff is amazing! I am a novice ice hockey player and after just two weeks at Kvell I felt my strength on the ice improve significantly. I love this workout! It’s fun and fast and never boring!
Melisa Dick
Kvell has a true community feel to it with trainers who greet you by name when you walk through the door. This is a place that strips away any intimidation of gyms, providing energetic, efficient workouts that have been carefully created to deliver results.
The owner, Brett, strives to make health and fitness attainable to all, simultaneously providing support and pushing clients to their full potential. His knowledgeable team of trainers guide you through proper form and body mechanics to prevent injury and maximize workouts. They know what you're capable of and hold you to it!
Scott Newbould
No-nonsense, get down to business fitness. Focus is on functional movement and results. Brett (the owner/coach) is there to ensure you have good form and keeps the classes moving so you are in and out in 45 minutes to go about your business. All workouts are scalable, so you can push yourself within your own personal limits. Life is short - push yourself! The workouts are as tough as you make them - if you are going to breathe/sweat/suffer (in a good way), always best to do it with a group of like-minded folks! Highly recommend Kvell!
Abby Kostecka
I agree with many of the other posts--Kvell provides a great, high intensity workout that incorporates movements and exercises that I've never done at other classes or working out on my own. I have been going to Kvell for about 6 months and noticed a huge difference in some of the trail races I've run this spring--I have run Race to Robie for the past few years and generally train the same way. I shaved about 9 minutes off my time this year and the only thing I've done differently is go to Kvell--I felt so much stronger on the uphill. I would encourage anyone who wants to add a weight training, HIIT workout to their running regime to consider going to Kvell.
Mark Skudlarek
The workouts at Kvell are perfect for me! I show up three times a week, the trainers have a well thought-out workout planned, and all I do is follow their lead. I am so impressed with the Kvell trainers! They work extremely hard to motivate me to push myself past my limits. Thanks for the great job! Hammer On!
Julie Raymond
The Lab Fitness is a system that works! If you want to make it easier to live healthy and stay with your goals you can find it at The Lab. They customize to your needs (not the other way around) with all kinds of tools available to you that cover nutrition to monitoring your workouts. The coaches have been awesome in helping me find immediate techniques in my workouts to start regaining my fitness to a previous level. The workouts are challenging in the most supportive place you can imagine. Don't come expecting to cruise along with a treadmill mind -set - come expecting some fun and to enjoy each small success with a great team.
Luis Urrutia
I have always struggled with staying on an exercise program, primarily because i either get bored or I loose interest. there is always a reason not to show up! Kvell has broken through that in a big way! The ever changing routines, the pace, and most importantly, the coaches are outstanding!! They offer a great balance of encouragement and tough love that lifts you up when you need it, and don't let you slack when that's what you are doing. I highly recommend the program and have seen great results in appearance and the way I feel. It's a way of life and I love it!!!
Talia Garreffa
I just started at Kvell this month, and I can say I really love it there. I was really nervous coming in but there is so much support from the coaches as well other people in the gym. If you are trying to get back in the swing of working out this is the place to go. The coaches are there to help you get your form down and they encourage you every step of the way!
Leslie Tengelsen
Kvell is a fantastic change from the rat race of a "regular" gym. Hours are fantastic for me to work out and then make it to work on time...and if I don't make the before-work workout, there are other great choices for classes throughout the day. I love that there are levels for each move..i still get a good sweat going and don't feel intimidated by others efforts. There is comraderie, with none of the competitive hype seen elsewhere. Thanks Kvell for showing me a way to health that rings true to me as a scientist and as a regular gal just trying to improve my health!
Laura Adams
I've been working out at Kvell for 3 weeks now, and along with eating clean, I have already noticed a positive difference in the way I look and feel. I appreciate the thoughtfully designed workouts that are supervised by knowledgeable trainers. The fact that I can get a great workout in, along with stretching out with a foam-roller all in 45 minutes has kept me coming back.
Caroline Old
I have always been scared to go to the gym in fear of not knowing what to do, that all changed after working out at Kvell. The moment you enter you are greeted with a smile which makes it feel very welcoming. Not only does it feel like I belong but I have transformed my body for the better, the trainer pushes you while making sure you are doing the movement correctly. I am beyond happy with the results I have seen so far and can't wait to see how much muscle I gain in the coming months. OWN IT!!!
Ashley Hall
It’s easy to feel lost in the crowd at a big box gym and honestly it’s easy to let yourself go through the motions when you are there alone. KVell offers a completely different feel and experience. A structured workout experience with expert trainers to make sure you are hitting the motions to maximize the effects while preventing injury. The energy you feed off of being with others is contagious. Each day is different but easy to follow with modifications for different fitness levels. I get a killer good sweat in, but the time flies while I’m there. I’m hooked! Plus they offer optional challenges and bonus incentives for pushing yourself. It’s awesome all around!
Doug Woodruff
I joined Kvell looking for help embedding nutrition and fitness into my lifestyle, which has been lacking both for much of my life. Kvell delivers on both fronts via a super welcoming and kind environment. The coaches bring an inspiring blend of encouragement and critique that keeps you focused on your best effort. On nutrition, they keep things simple and attainable. All this is bolstered by a positive persistent mind set shared by the crew. A month into it, my results far exceed my expectations. Lighter, stronger, feel younger—I’m Kvelling!
Karen Corn
For the past 15 years I have tried gym memberships, cross fit gyms, group training centers and I always fizzled out, spent too much money or ended up injured.
I found Kvell 2 months ago and have found my home. After 2 babies, a lot of added weight and injury issues I was intimated to walk in the door. I am so glad I did. The second the class started all fears melted away. This program offers quality training for all abilities, is motivating, and the coaches are incredible at understanding your needs and adapting as necessary.
My energy is through the roof, I am seeing results and I am so motivated by the incredible community of people at Kvell.
Do yourself a favor. Take them up on the $1 for 21 days offer. You won’t regret it!
Mike Alexander
I’ve been going to Kvell for over 5 years. The staff is excellent and it is clean and well run. I love that I can go get my workout in a timely manner without too much thought, just focus. I also find it safer, for someone my age, than other workouts I’ve tried, such as Cross Fit. Just try it, you’ll see!
Jessica Varley
I am new to the area and so grateful that I found the best gym in Boise! I wasn't looking forward to finding a gym and navigating workouts, programs, trainers, etc. A friend invited me for a workout during "bring a friend" week and I've been going since. I just show up and everything is in place for an awesome workout. It's like having a personal trainer as the staff is very into making sure you are working out correctly (posture, body alignment) with surprisingly minimal equipment. They also have great motivational challenges and prizes, including a discount on one of the monthly membership options for showing up 12x/mo. The 45 minute workout is the perfect amount of time and they offer lots of times throughout the day. I always feel challenged (you control your level of exertion) and feel great the rest of the day. I am noticing changes already in my strength and tone after just a month going 2 times/wk. Can't say enough great things about Kvell. Own it!
linda moore
A friend of mine joined Kvell, and after seeing her results after just 6 months, I knew I had to join! The workouts are short and sweet, intense and varied, with great direction and support provided by Brett and his team. I've been a member for well over a year, and I've seen a significant change in my body with strength gain and weight loss. I can't imagine working out anywhere else now!
Sydney Borba
Kvell is no joke. I have been to every type of gym/exercise place you could think of and nothing compares to the workout you get here. Before Kvell, I had been going to a personal trainer for about a month and spending about 30 a session, I know crazy right I'm a college student. The value you get for Kvell is unbelievable and I highly recommend. I was a little hesitant about joining at first but now I've never been happier. If you're on the fence just do it! You won't regret it!
Bret Connor
Structured workouts are the way to go for a full body workout and Kvell does it right! These guys know what fitness is all about and I have learned so much. All in less than 1 hour sessions. If you want to lose weight, firm up, get stronger and feel better about yourself... then Kvell is it! Join up because it is worth it and you'll be on your way to a BETTER YOU.
Jennifer Lowe
Kvell Academy is the best fitness experience I have ever had! No doubt they are the best at what they do. If I could give more stars I would. Brett, Justine and the whole team are very compassionate and helpful. I started slow and not one time did I feel judged or uncomfortable on my lack of knowledge or strength. You set your own pace and they work with you. Their main focus is helping you be the best you that you can be. The training I received has not only helped me physically, but mentally as well. If you ever want to own your day join the Kvell Fitness and Nutrition YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!
Kirby Wigton
I have yet to have a bad experience with Kvell. Their six-week programs are wonderful, the classes are hard-working, the trainers somehow know the names of everyone! It's all great. Staff was extremely understanding when I had to stop because of injury. And when I mostly recovered, I was able to work out with alternate routines as to not further aggravate my shoulder. I struggle in thinking of just one negative thing for Kvell - that alone makes it a 5-star place in my book.
Lindsey Holman
I decided to try Kvell’s 21 days for $1 after accompanying a friend to a couple of sessions; I am a week in and have really enjoyed the workouts, vibe, and learning their format/methodology. I’ve most appreciated the constant feedback on form from the coaches. I haven’t received this level of correction and support at the CrossFit boxes I’ve been with, but have always felt nervous about injury. I don’t have those same nerves here! 27/10 recommend giving their 3-week trial a go.
Claudia Day
Workouts are varied and challenging, and the trainers work hard to boost individual technique for maximum benefit and low risk of injury. It is a welcoming and fun place-like going to Cheers, minus the beer!
Jennifer Callahan
If you join Kvell, you will not be disappointed! I hate group fitness classes, but I love this place. It amazes me the amount of attention the trainers are able to give each person during the class. These classes are not easy, but nothing that will get you results should be easy. They do make it do-able to all different levels though by giving you different options for each exercise. One of the many thing I love about this place, is they really do care about getting you HEALTHY. They try and avoid injuries, give great tips and really care. The energy is amazing the staff and trainers are awesome, and if you try it, you will love it!

Kvell is such an awesome place to workout! The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. The classes are challenging, yet fun and never boring. I love that I can go workout on my lunchbreak. Getting a good workout in during the day makes me a much happier person. Thanks, Kvell!
Megan Roberto
I love the quick, intense workouts at Kvell! The coaches are always super helpful, fun and help you challenge yourself. Kvell actually gets me in the gym multiple times a week! Plus the location is super convenient.

I will just start out by saying... I hate the gym. And I LOVE Kvell!! 45 minutes of structured workouts that have me dripping sweat by the time we are done. Staff's number one concern is your safety - consistently ensuring everyone's form is correct. Number two concern - maximizing your results, whatever your goals are. And - they are all pretty rad on top of knowing their stuff. Group classes, but everyone works at their own level, thanks to tiered options so that you are comfortable. Seven weeks ago, my goal was to lose 5% body fat. Today, I am up one pound, down 8 pounds of body fat, and down 4% body fat. Minor changes in diet, and a few days a week in the gym have produced more results in two short months than anything else I have ever tried - and I don't hate it. I really can't say enough good things!

I adore Kvell and here is why: I have NEVER been a gym person. I would join one, attend for a week or less, feel intimidated, become self-conscience, get bored and never go back. Kvell changed that up for me.
The first thing I noticed when I walked through the door for my initial interview with the staff was that this was not a typical “gym-type” environment. There were no ellipticals, treadmills, weight machines, floor to ceiling mirrors or dozens of beach bodies taking selfies while judging other patrons. Just a big green room scattered with enough apparatus to challenge you and a small handful people of all ages, genders and abilities working together to accomplish a common goal: health and fitness.
Sign. Me. Up.
In the time I have been a part of the Kvell fitness family, I have enjoyed my daily nutrition goals that are sent to my phone through their app along with Brett’s “Shot in the Arm” that is emailed. I REALLY like the workouts. 45 minutes of non-stop, heart-pumping, butt-kicking fitness. My first day, I was concerned that others would judge me for my lack of ability or that I wouldn’t size up to everyone else. I was wrong. I was met by nothing but friendly faces from all levels of the program who were more than happy to give me pointers. Nathan, who is the afternoon instructor, makes sure that all participants in that 45 minutes of raw work are poised correctly as not to cause injury and explains how each task is done to there is no confusion. It is the quickest three quarter hour ever and you know you just challenged yourself every time you walk out the door!
Never been much of gym person before? Join Kvell. Love the gym, but need more than just a treadmill in your life? Join Kvell. Want to revamp your body to be the best it can be? Join Kvell. Need a program that not only works your muscles, but keeps you healthy inside and out? Join Kvell.
Trust me – I did and I wish I had done it a long time ago!

This place is amazing. You're rewarded for your hard work and making it to the gym not only by looking and feeling better, but with CASH! My wife and I have been going to Kvell in Meridian and downtown Boise for close to a year now and we're in the best shape of our lives.
If you're looking to make a meaningful change, Kvell will certainly get you on the right path.
Emily Hicks
I am only a couple of weeks in but I am absolutely loving it! The workouts are efficient and intense. I actually look forward to going to the gym now! The structure of Kvell is incredibly motivating and I am excited to be a part of this community and continue my fitness journey.
Ella Thompson
I love to workout at Kvell with my Mom. I am only 13 but my chiropractor/physical therapist has me do the same functional movements they teach at Kvell. He said all children by the age of 10 should be taught how to do these movements and do them regularly. Whenever I have a break from school sports I like to get my exercise at Kvell. The coaches are really nice too and help me understand and do the movements correctly. You should let your kids try it too!!!
Mark Girard
I have been a part of Kvell for about four weeks now. Nate has been the only trainer that I have worked with so far and he has made me feel welcome and has given me fantastic guidance. I am impressed with the curriculum and the dedication that the crew has to helping their clients achieve their goals. Nate has taken the time to guide me and give me suggestions on ways to improve my workout. I would certainly recommend Kvell to friends...actually I already have.
Kendall Clifton
I used to workout 6 days a week but after moving from California, that all changed. I found Kvell through a Facebook ad and decided to check it out! 6 workouts in and I’m loving it. The coaches are super welcoming and they do all they can to ensure proper form and a workout that everyone can complete successfully, regardless of injuries or fitness levels.
Lorene Rasmussen
OWN IT! - Something I have needed after taking a break from marathon training due to this "COVID-19 uncertainty" and public races being cancelled. At Kvell, they not only hold you accountable (in a great way) but they champion your goals and coach you during the sessions. Gene is knowledgeable, cheerful, and a great coach at the early morning sessions. Alyssa has been helpful and encouraging as she help set me up with my membership. And Brett's daily e-letters have been a much needed shot in the arm. Thank you, Kvell Team
Kellie Gosselin
I've always hated gyms, with a passion! Kvell is no normal gym with grunting and lifting huge weights. They focus on proper form and full body - similar to what I've done with HIIT. The 45 minutes is done before you know it. I've never felt so great in my life! And at 42!!! I've lost 5 lbs of fat in just 3 weeks!! Love the trainers. The best thing is I'm learning how to make real life changers that work, period.
Nicole Dunn
Kvell has been a great experience. I look forward to training here each time. The coaches are knowledgable and so friendly. It feels like a community and I am so glad I found this place. I have been here for almost 3 weeks and I already feel the results! By far the best gym in Boise
Matt Lightfoot
I came to Kvell as an athlete looking to grow stronger. I was always pretty fast, but needed to add strength/size. Little did I know, I’d do just that and then so much more! I gained size and strength from Kvell which also translated into more speed and explosiveness! The Kvell coaches really know their stuff, and I’d recommend them to any athlete serious about taking their game to the next level!
Dr. Sarah Wolverton
I LOVE Kvell and the way the classes are arranged. They are extremely challenging, but over in 45 minutes. You can do anything for 45 minutes, right? Brett is a great trainer, and extremely dedicated to his clients and classes. He is always pushing, guiding and encouraging everyone. I look forward to seeing the people I work out with in class. We all have something in common together, and feel accomplished when the class is over. With Brett teaching the classes, it is as if you have a personal trainer. He also offers a wide range of times for classes daily that should fit anyone's schedule. OWN IT!! :-)
Sarah Ober-Hicks
Fitness Revolution absolutely changed my life! I've always been a very active person, but the classes offered here pushed me farther than I ever thought I could go, and my results have been amazing. The coaches are incredibly helpful and motivating and the classes are quick and intense. Not all of us have time throughout the day to do a proper 45+ minute cardio workout; the fast-paced metabolic classes offered at Fitness Revolution are about 30-45 minutes and you WILL feel it the next day. Honestly, I don't have enough positive things to say about this place. Highly, highly, highly recommend!
Leslie Atkins
If I were to move away from Boise, Kvell is in the list of top-three-things-I-would-miss, and I'm not a gym person.
Ryan McCaene
I first started at Kvell about 4 years ago. I joined in a weight loss challenge: 20# in 6 weeks -YIKES! the prize for achievement was 3 months worth of membership fees. On the fateful weigh-in day I had dropped 26 pounds, and had built significant muscle. I stayed with Brett 3x/week and his crew for a couple of years & change. Left the area for a summer, and you know the rest...fast-forward 2 years... My new bride & I re-enlisted in August. In our time away from Kvell, Brett has been busy developing the quality and experience of the workouts. Same positive, friendly, encouraging environment, great resources...couldn't be happier!
I'm shopping again...in my closet.
Larissa Martineau
I like that the Kvell training and community extends beyond the gym, beyond the class. Being part of the FB community and receiving daily email communications help me continue to learn, grow, and change in more than just fitness. Beyond fitness and nutrition coaching, you'll get real LIFE coaching.
Austin Heindel
Kvell Fitness does an amazing job with their workouts! You choose the level of workout you want, and by the time you are done, you feel great! The workouts fly by and Kvell makes it fun with different challenges as well!
Nicola Cranmer
I have been going to Kvell for almost a year and it has become an integral part of my life. The workouts are result producing and the education around nutrition is easily applied to your life creating healthy habits. I travel a lot for work and always look forward to getting back to the work at Kvell. It really has set me back on the right track to feeling strong and confident. My life is truly better with Kvell.
Cory Compton
I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every workout....even the burn! The instructors are fantastic. They take a real interest in getting to know you and encourage you to push yourself in a safe way! Every staff member I have encountered is incredibly polite and upbeat! Brett has put together a
very professional team!.The nutrition tips have been informative and have already helped me to lose weight and body fat in just the first 4 weeks! Highly recommend giving their program a try!
Michael Pelton
my wife has been going here regularly and has enjoyed it, so I decided to give it a try. I found the workout to be a pretty efficient total body workout (HIIT) and despite being a regular runner, I am definitely a bit sore the day after, as I obviously had some muscles not being exercised. I found the first class to be a little chaotic moving to different stations, grabbing weights etc but the regulars have everything down pat and I thought Brett was helpful with giving technique advice. definitely worth checking out if you are looking to improve your fitness
Sam B
Circuit training style gym with flexible schedules, informed and helpful coaching, and rigorous programs for all fitness levels at once. Scheduling is easy with their app, and the workouts pack a lot into a short amount of time (45 minutes start to finish). Brett is patient and helpful. Everyone is really encouraging. No heavy sales pressure yet that I've experienced, which is great! You can just jump right in and go from scratch and you'll be ok.
Pam Vance
I have been so happy with my experience at Kvell. I've been going for about 18 months now. I no longer experience aches and pains from general muscle weakness and have a noticed a huge improvement in overall strength and stamina. The workouts are amazingly efficient and the atmosphere is supportive. Anyone can kvell.
Dyan Blanc Goldhammer
Kvell is the place to get it done! In 45 minutes I can achieve a workout that is tailored for me. I leave there feeling fit and motivated not only to stay healthy, but to continue improving in all facets of life.
Brett has been a great mentor for my business success too!
Ariel Minter
Kvell is the best fitness program I have ever been apart of. I've done it all, to classes at the local YMCA to Personal Trainers to being on sports teams to buying popular Bikini guides. Why is it the best? The honest first reason is because YOU GET RESULTS. I've lost almost five pounds of fat and not a bit of muscle in just the first four weeks of classes. Also, it's about proper form. You are instructed on the appropriate technique and how to care for your muscles. Secondly, the coaching staff, lead by Justin, is above and beyond. I appreciate the group workouts because I get the same attention as I have received in personal training without the awkward one on one pressure. Truly the hardest part truly is showing up since Justin and Nate guide you through each HIIT workout movement. I feel challenged. Each time I go in I try more weight (as long as it's safe). Also, the classes are 45 minutes and the first 8 minutes or so is all foam rolling and stretching. I always go hard because I know "I can do anything for 37 minutes." I really push myself to get to the next level each time. I tell everyone about it, and when the finally show up they always wonder why they didn't listen sooner.
Irina Voyce
I tried out two other boutique fitness studios in the Boise area, this one is the best by far. The environment is very motivating and they do a great job scaling the exercises up or down to my level. Loving the results and community feel always looking forward to my next workout!
marianne konvalinka
Great workout, never boring, always challenging and good for any fitness level. They even make it easy to take your workout on the road. In the 2 months I’ve been going my strength and stamina have noticeably increased. 45 minutes in and out and good to go. There’s even a monetary incentive to make it in regularly. The folks here really care about helping clients stay healthy and meet fitness goals.
Randy Norris
I stopped by Kvell about 2 months ago and after an incredible introduction by Chelsie, I felt that the facility might meet my needs. So I decided to try it out. Over the last 2 months I have enjoyed the flexible class schedule. Sometime I go on my way into the office, sometimes on my way home, sometime at lunch or a free time mid morning. It's fantastic. The trainers took time to know me, by name, and learn my goals and concerns. They have been fantastic! Results? In the 2 months I am down 5 lbs of body fat (or 2% PBF) and I am feeling fantastic. The work out are sweaty and nasty be fun and effective. Now ... if I reduce my monthly Cheeseburger intake, the results might be even better (not likely).
Mykeah Kranzler
Feb 2017 Update: I'm back this month after a little break, and man am I happy to be back! Working out at Kvell put me in the best shape of my life, and I want that again! The classes are amazing, the results you get are fantastic, and honestly, I look forward to going, knowing that they are going to push me, and that I'm going to get results. Coming back to Kvell is the best thing I've done for myself in a long time!
I just finished a 6 week program and I can't wait to go back for more! The classes at the Lab took my fitness to a whole new level and I have never felt better. I lost weight, gained muscle, and for the first time ever, I can do a pull up! Best investment I have made in a long time.
Clint Howard
Kvell Fitness is a great facility, awesome coaches and workouts, and great culture! I highly recommend them if you’re wanting to get healthy and fit and have a great experience.
Genia Black
Kvell is absolutely, hands down, the best workout facility in the area. I started there six years ago and it has transformed into an amazing facility and it has transformed me. It's not just a gym, it's a community where we are all working towards our goals. The support and encouragement is amazing. The staff takes care of you and they care about you as an individual. I love Kvell!
Nikki Bergman
I just finished my second week here and I am so happy I joined. The workouts are intense and tough but you have great trainers helping you through them and great people supporting you. I especially appreciate that each workout is different and has multiple levels of difficulty so you never feel like you have to do something you may not be ready for. If you are struggling with something, the staff will make sure to find a modification that works and they are focused on making sure you do the exercises right, not just fast. This program feels like it will be much easier to stick with and I’m excited to see even more changes. I’ve already seen Some
Differences on the scale after just two weeks. If you have 45 minutes and want to get in better shape and health, definitely go here.
Debbie Donovan
Outstanding gym! Total package -motivation and community encouragement! Each total body training session is has attainable levels to meet all needs. Highly recommend Kvell Fitness and Nutrition!
Kate Bauer
Kvell is a great gym! It has awesome classes with weight lifting and HITT type workouts. The coaches are friendly and helpful with form and pushing you do to your best!!
Clancy Johnston
Simply put: Kvell is typically the best money I spend every month.
Price structure: The more you work out, the less it is. Typically you’d pay about $119 a month for 12-25 sessions/month!
Pros:
⁃ Locally owned and operated
⁃ Professional yet kind and fun
⁃ Amazing 45 minute workouts
⁃ A great community
⁃ Focused on the big picture of health, not just fitness
⁃ Wildly convenient if you work downtown
Possible cons:
⁃ no showers
⁃ Relatively large classes. Can be a bit crowded for the space they have. They’ve experienced growing pains the past few months. Great service, some classes are fully booked and can’t get into. Book ahead of time.
⁃ At times can value marketing material over private results. In the fitness industry before and after photos are the most compelling form of social proof and testimony. They run incredibly effective 6 week challenges where they require you to submit before and after photos (cool). However, they require you to allow them to post the photos publicly on their social media, website, etc if you’re a challenge winner. It’s their prerogative, I just don’t care for it as a requirement.
Overall I highly recommend it! Would send my friends and family.
Kristie White
I am a busy mom of two, I work night shift at the hospital and I felt making fitness a priority just wasn’t in the cards, but Kvell has helped me realize balance is possible and I couldn’t be happier. It feels so rewarding knowing I’m making time for me, three times a week, 45 minutes a day, who could say no to that, I couldn’t. Even on mornings when I get home just a few hours earlier from work, managed to get maybe five hours of sleep, I’ve been woken up by my three year old, my sleep was interrupted countless times and everything in me is telling me to hit snooze and go back to sleep, there is something unique about Kvell that I haven’t found anywhere else, they motivate me to get up, show up and bring it. I’ve never experienced a fitness center/gym where I felt I belonged. From day one I never felt isolated or ignored, even when the class is large I feel the coaches are just as aware and ready to make it the most productive and rewarding 45 minutes of your day as they are if the class is small. I am on my fourth week and have been to eleven classes and I can already feel a change in my mind and body. Thank You Kvell for being different and impacting my life in such an incredible way. I am a better mom, wife and person in general because of what you offer. Again, Thank You! If your contemplating trying out Kvell, I highly encourage you to take the leap, you won’t regret it for even a second. It will be one of the most rewarding decisions you choose to invest in, YOU!
Nikki D
I'm new to Kvell, and was very pleasantly surprised! I love the high-intensity group workout and the attention by the trainers. They are very hands-on and involved during every step of the workout. Awesome staff and great workout planning!!
Trisa OFarrell
I joined Kvell over year ago, it was the best decision !! The atmosphere is not intimidating, all fitness levels are welcome and everyone encourages each other. Additionally, the trainers always greet me by name each and every time I go-can't find that at any other gym!
Frank Robinson
I’ve been a member at Kvell for a few years. Before Kvell I tried several gyms, but none provided the professional coaching and feedback given at Kvell. Because each exercise has three levels of difficulty, anyone can fit in and get fit with Kvell. Thanks Kvell for the years of fitness and fun.
Shasta Hanson
It is out of my comfort zone to try new things, especially when it involves exercise, in a group setting no less. Being someone who has never set foot in a gym, it was a huge new thing to try. I did not know 90% of the movements and was very uncoordinated. Three months later, after going consistently for three days a week, my confidence, coordination, and strength have greatly improved. The amount of personal training I receive in a group setting is impressive. My body and mind are in a better place having found Kvell.
Ryan Martin
By far the best gym we have spent our time and money at. You show up and out in the time and you will feel better and see results. Overall a very positive experience. And we’ve been clients for almost a decade!
Shannon McDowell
Kvell is an awesome place to get an amazing work out. The trainers are attentive to your needs and make sure everyone gets the best workout they can, whether you are just starting or have been training your whole life!
joan burke
I needed a fitness routine that was convenient, varied, educational, personal, challenging and fun. I have found it at Kvell. I was super nervous at my first workout and within 5 minutes I was at ease ready to OWN it. Great staff, clean environment, and amazing workouts!!
Lauren Nuxoll
I train with Kvell because I need the accountability, to be productive, and someone to teach me new workouts so I don't get bored. Having a 1.5+ hour commute between going to work and home each day makes it hard to find time or to want to workout. Having signed up for a class during lunch allows me a break from work and the accountability that I need to show up. My schedule is tight (as most people's are) and I need my workout to be productive. I don't have 1-2 hours each day to spend at the gym. A 45min intense workout 3 days a week works for me. I'm not an exercise science major I don't know what workouts will help me the most. They do. That's why I go to Kvell.
Kirstin Mann
This place is amazing! I've been coming here for over two years and absolutely love it. I took a six-month hiatus and tried to find other programs like it, but nothing honestly compares and had to come back. The programs are best if you (like me) need group workouts, but some level of individual coaching. Brett, the coach is amazing and really cares about making Kvell the best program it can be. This program is challenging, but totally worth it. Own it!
Lyndsay Salb
Kvell is such a great workout experience every time! The coaches are enthusiastic, innovative and dedicated to making sure you are maximizing your workouts. Every time i leave I feel a sense of accomplishment. Thanks to the Kvell team for all you do!
