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

I am so impressed with Xcel and how I have been treated as a member and the measures they take for its' cleanliness. Especially so with the recent trials they have faced with Covid 19. Their equipment is top notch (and trust me I have tried nearly every gym in the SL valley, Summit County and also St. George as I have a part time residence there. My work outs are my sanity and I have had multiple memberships at other facilities because not one ever fully satisfied my needs. I can honestly & unequivocally say and review that this is the best gym in the state. I am a hardcore fitness fanatic and I will never leave this facility for two reasons. One-you won't find another gym who has the variety or caliber of equipment and how it is maintained. Two-how they treat their members. If you are on the fence because of poor reviews, don't give the reviews much credence. Just go and try for yourself. You won't regret the equipment opportunities and the maintenance of them. You can 100 percent tell if a machine is poorly maintained and it is frustrating when you need to push yourself and the resistance and ease of the machine has issues. The staff is like family and treat their members as such. The poor reviews are a reflection of those reviewers own personal issues and not the caliber of the gym. I would gladly challenge any who says otherwise. It is why I am writing this review. Xcel is deserving of it. All of the effort and hard work of ownership and staff do not go unnoticed!

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

RACISTS AND LOOKING FOR A LAWSUIT! I came in this morning after calling LAST NIGHT to confirm that their gym would be open and accepting free trial members. The lady last night confirmed they would be open this morning and even if I was a trial member I could come in. A lot of gyms are closed due to the Coronavirus and social distancing. I drove 40 minutes to get to Xcel this morning and upon checking in. The guy in front turned me away because I was a free trial member. There was no disclaimer online when I signed up saying they were not accepting free trial members nor were there signs outside their door saying they won't be allowing free trial members in. IT MADE NO SENSE TO ME BECAUSE HE LATER STATED IF I PAID FOR THEIR MEMBERSHIP ($200 UP FRONT) THEN I COULD GO IN! THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I don't even know if I would like your gym to be able to sign up for a membership that's why I'm doing the free trial. They're taking advantage of other gyms closing and knowing they're open they want to force people to sign up in order to use their facility at a time like this. Nowhere on their website does it say they aren't accepting free trial members. What difference does it make between me going in with the free trial vs paying your ridiculous $200 up front fee without trying your gym first?! I'm still the same person going into the gym the SAME DAY except that you're having me pay before even trying out the gym to see if I like it enough to become a member! You guys are horrible

I'm surprised that reviews on this place is so low. I think this is by far, my favorite gym in Utah. It is a bit pricey but it is so worth it. I get to try regular group exercise, and CrossFit. Depending on the class you want to take, membership prices can vary. The quality of working out classes is so good. People who exercise at Xcel just become regular. You would start liking to work out. They also have a cafe at the register area. Protein shakes are freshly made and those are pretty good.

Xcel is my favorite gym in Utah! I've been working out at Xcel Fitness for the last 6 years and won't go anywhere else. They have everything I need and the owner has become a great friend. Couldn't say enough good things about this gym. Open, clean, bright, motivating, new equipment, great staff, awesome classes and lots more!

Really wanted to try it out while I was in town but $30 per person for a day pass is absolutely unheard of

We visited Xcel for a week during a vacation to Salt Lake. They gave us an extremely reasonable price for our visitors pass. The Kids Club was fantastic, our boys really enjoyed going each day. The gym has a nice open layout that was great for my husband who did CrossFit style workouts on his own while I took some amazing yoga classes. Maggie's power yoga and recovery classes are both incredible. The gym may seem intimidating initially because everyone is super fit but they were also all extremely friendly. If we lived in Utah we'd definitely join. I'd highly recommend!

If you are the average gym guru this is not the place for you. There are not enough "do it yourself" areas and makes you feel pressured by into having a trainer. It is a nice place and probably great for fitness professionals.

So far it's the best place in SLC UT to lift, CrossFit, and cardio. The locker rooms are clean and I always have access to to the equipment I need. Erin and Nate also create a great community environment for Crossfit!!!! They are great Great coaches!!!'

My family and I have been members of this gym for many years. When it comes to a phenomenal gym you definitely pay for what you get and this here is the best gym in the state! They are constantly updating equipment and bringing in some of the trainers, coaches and classes you'll find. My top three favorite aspects are as follows : 1) the gym is clean and the fellow members keep it that way, you don't ever need to fear laying in a puddle of some "bro's" sweat on a bench. 2) equipment availability, unlike many other gyms you rarely need to wait for your favorite machine or weights to be available while someone hogs it. 3) child care, they have the most epic kids club that'll watch your your young ones while you get to go work out. I could go on and write about the luxurious locker rooms with steam rooms, hot tubs and showers that aren't reminiscent of a horror film, but I don't have the room. I will however recommend that people swing on in and go check it out, you'll never be able to look at your old gym the same again.

Great gym. Good mix of functional equipment + your traditional globo gym/bodybuilding stuff. Most of the equipment is top notch. I typically can't stand commercial gyms but this place has a different feel to it.

The most filthy, poorly run gym in Utah. Or at least that I've ever been in. I was a member for 20 years. Nate Brown, the owner, terminated my membership today because I have been vocal about the disgusting state of the women's showers. I didn't even mention the broken equipment, the dust cats, the disgusting floor in the spin room, along with the broken bikes. Nate Brown is the most incompetent owner of any business that I know of. Instead of listening to a member and fixing the problems that many people have, he would rather terminate a longterm, loyal member. Good riddance. Save your money and join Lifetime fitness.

There are two reasons I go to Xcel. The first is how clean everything is. From the equipment and classrooms to the locker room and bathrooms, it always feels just cleaned. I appreciate not touching sticky workout equipment. The second and most profound reason for me is the Kids' Club. No other gym matches the safety, cleanliest, and atmosphere of the Kids' Club. Everyone who works in there is outstanding. I could on and on about the the special efforts they take to ensure my child is happy, safe, and having fun. On top of this, there are pagers you can borrow (or just leave your phone number for a text or call if you'd prefer), a camera so you can tune into the Kids' Club while exercising, a staff to children ratio that is expectional, and other safety and hygienic procedures taken to maintain the high standards of the Kids' Club. Xcel is doing fantastic in many areas and I appreciate their continuous efforts to improve and maintain being one of the top gyms in Utah.

Nate, the owner, really made things right when I expressed a concern in a previous review. First off, I love this gym. Great facilities, great energy, great staff, and members that are serious about staying in shape. Acknowledging that things don't always meet the expectations of a customer or in this case gym member like myself, I truly value how management deals with the customers concerns. Nate is a stand up owner, truly caring about the customer experience above the financial bottom line. I can't imagine a better gym in SLC.
