I’ve been aware of and using the Starting Strength Method since 2018. However, I’ve always been a solo lifter lifting in my garage. During a family trip to Boise, I decided to get a form check using the free drop-in session. I was aware of the Boise location from the Starting Strength Gyms podcast.I met with John in the morning and briefly discussed my lifting history. I decided to start with the squat and deadlift as those are the two lifts I’ve had to self-correct the most over the years. John was incredibly generous with his time. The free session is technically 30-min, but I was there for about 2-hr eventually going through all the lifts (sans power clean). It was great working with John to tweak my technique. I completely understand the value if you have the opportunity to regularly get hands-on coaching at a Starting Strength Gym. John’s explanations were excellent, and I really enjoyed watching him coach other lifters. All in all, I had a very positive experience with John and the Boise gym. I recommend anyone new to SS or anyone who hasn’t experienced hands-on coaching to give them a try.

Starting Strength has been an incredible experience for my 18-year-old. Brandon and all the others have been so welcoming and great at keeping him motivated to reach his goals this summer. It has been a huge summer win.

I dropped in for a class when I was in town on a business trip. I went back and forth as to whether it would be worth the price but I’m SO glad I went for it. The gym itself is impressive—cool aesthetic, great equipment, and super clean. Everyone was inviting and kind. Avery, the coach I worked with, was down-to-earth and warm, not to mention incredibly knowledgeable. The cues and advice were invaluable; I actually took notes because it was so helpful and I didn’t want to forget anything. Avery even helped me get to the bottom of a nagging hip issue I’ve been having for years. If I lived in the area, I would absolutely be a member of this gym. It would be foolish not to. Alas, I am left to wait until a SS gym near my home opens.

This is an amazing gym with not only top-notch coaches who know their stuff but a really inviting, uplifting atmosphere. I just turned 60 and decided it was time to really prepare for my older years by ensuring I was as strong as possible. I'm loving the results!

Starting Strength is the best fitness concept my husband and I have seen, especially when it comes to helping build muscle, improve bone density, reduce joint pain, and improve our capability to get more enjoyment out of life as we age!

My experience with Starting Strength Boise has been beyond my expectations! I moved here several years ago looking for a personal trainer and found the best gym in Boise for my interests and needs. My background is in bodybuilding. Wanting to add more muscle I discovered that powerlifting as a base to my overall program is what works best for me. The personal trainers at Starting Strength are so knowledgeable and have really helped me add strength and increase my numbers. The great thing about Starting Strength is you can come in with no experience in lifting weights and be coached through all the lifts using proper form and getting individual attention. It’s the best gym in the Boise area to get personalized attention in your lifts, enjoy a small class size, and meet some amazing coaches and athletes.

I wish I had started going to Starting Strength Boise as soon as I got to Idaho. I am a student doctor and still with my busy schedule, all my lifts have increased beyond anything I imagined. The coaches are friendly and supportive and actually care about your progress. It is a non-judgmental environment and not intimidating by any means. The other students are also extremely kind and encouraging. If you are serious about getting stronger and learning the lifts, I highly recommend this gym. You have a spot reserved, so you do not need to wait for a squat rack. They have the best equipment possible. Not sure what else you want. I've gained 25 lbs while lifting here for only 6 months. My deadlift has gone up 155 lbs, squat has gone up 125 lbs, bench has gone up 70 lbs, and press has gone up 70 lbs. If I can do it, anyone can.
