This is a really nice hybrid gym concept in downtown Bismarck. They have "crossfit" style classes as well as a normal gym setup, split into two rooms. One room (the one that usually has the classes) has full squat racks, lifting platforms, and barbells with bumper plates, which is awesome. The other room has more machines and some free weights like dumbells. There is also a squat rack in that room, but I was perplexed as to why the rubber mat that's under it ends so close to it; it makes it hard to squat if you don't like squatting on bare concrete (which has less traction). I got a free day pass from the Radisson, and the checkin process was easy and painless. Bathrooms are large and clean, and there's showers too. One sort of weird thing about this gym were all the signs they had posted around with rules...I'm not sure how strict they are about enforcing them, but I feel like all the rules posted everywhere was maybe a bit much. All in all, a nice option for dropping in if you are in Bismarck and want to get a workout in.

I had the best experience at Proximal and firmly believe that this is the best gym that I have ever been to. They have a perfect mixture of weight machines, free weights, and a cardio/ turf area perfect for plyometric exercises. Although I do not live in town, I came here two days in a row and was amazed at the kindness of the staff and all of the members. Shout out to Kate and Lori for buying me at-shirt and the rest of the staff for being awesome! Thank you!!

The nutritionist, Callie Stein has helped me tremendously in gaining muscle, with her advice and support. I have had 2 in person appointments and a virtual appointment with additional follow up via text. It has worked great for me since I do not live near Bismarck.

Proximal is quite possibly the best executed gym with the best business plan and overall person/health approach I’ve ever encountered.There are some decent gyms in town that bring their A game, but the owner of proximal has ignored all the expectations and created a class of her own.The combination of physical therapy with a top notch traditional gym setup that caters to the yuppy and meathead alike is nothing short of genius.Normally (hopefully) a gym will focus on building a person from the ground up, which works for the average person with no physical issues to overcome - but for someone like myself that spent a long stint in a wheelchair - proximal digs way deeper than ground level so that even someone facing limitations can excel.Definitely a business built on competency and compassion that I’m happy to get to support. It feels more like investing into the success of a good friend than paying gym dues.

I can’t begin to say enough good about these two facilities. Almost hate to call them a gym... they are so much more than that. They are a community of supporting people who really only want too see you succeed. All of the staff are so great! The very best part of Proximal 50 is always knowing that it never matters if you have the latest and greatest gym attire or if you have been at this for years or if this is your first day, we are all the same and always welcome! Thank you Tana and Proximal staff for making our “gyms” so much more.

Always a smiling face greeting you! I enjoy all of the group classes but especially the Pulse classes, heart rate based training. The coaches are amazing and offer never-ending encouragement, motivation and guidance! Facilities are always very clean including locker rooms at both locations! Staff are just warm and inviting, I’ve always felt comfortable working out at P50!

2 awesome locations with different options at both facilities! Variety of different equipment and classes to fit anyone wherever they are in their fitness journey. Very friendly front desk staff and trainers! Would highly recommend this gym and the PULSE classes!

I'll give it 5 stars when shelves for spectacles and hooks are installed in bathroom stalls n showers, and a ladies locker room entrance privacy wall or screen is erected so you can't look into the hair dryer area from outside the room.
