Epic Fitness — Local services in Millcreek

You’re either coming out of covid fit, fat, or dead. I really only wanted the first option. For the first eight months of covid, I gestated a flabby physique. I wasn’t getting out and it was really showing. So I made the decision to birth a better lifestyle and joined Epic Fitness.

Being just two blocks from my house, and having heard good reviews of other “neighborhood gyms”, I chose to invest in myself and start working out regularly. Epic had taken significant steps to adapt to covid and that was just one hallmark of their dedication to excellence visible throughout the gym and business. The practices I found there were continued as covid waned and the gym moved to a new location.

Epic Fitness has superb facilities with top-notch training gear. This is shown through available Glute Loops, exercise bands, mats, plates, hex bars, boxes, and training field, but, most of all, the knowledgeable instructors are always on hand for one-on-one help and guidance. And I don’t casually include them in this list of gear because Epic is truly centered around the experience of their members and their commitment to excellence is reflected in all their employees.

Expect to be greeted with a smile every time you come and go, and by name. I didn’t stay at Epic just because of the staff but I’m proud now to call many of them friends.

Workouts may be self-guided or under the immediate supervision of a trainer. Workouts are tailored to each individual. The trainers put together programs based on your level of fitness with new programs every dozen workouts. Epic is a Functional Strength Training program. This approach builds fitness as a body-whole slowly bringing your fitness up as a complete unit. The workouts are phone app-driven so you’ll see a phone or tablet next to everyone in the gym. But let me define who everyone is…

It is very rare to ever have more than 10 members working out at the same time. This number is not facility size limited. It’s a part of Epic’s offering as a neighborhood gym. There are never less than two trainers in the gym and I’ve seen as many as six in there. Outnumbering the members is not unheard of. Epic is not a muscle-bound gym. The members are of respectable age and able to afford such a pristine environment. Loud grunting is only heard when Mitch makes a joke. These are everyday people who care about their health and make an effort to put in the effort.

Coming from a big-box gym you may not appreciate all the amenities of Epic. But, if you go back to one, you’ll be in for a shock at what you put up with. Since becoming a member, the biggest takeaway for me is the know-how to work out correctly. I’ve worked out for most of my life but the techniques I learned at Epic are far and above everything I have learned before.

I really appreciate the time I have spent working out at Epic Fitness. I lost significant weight and am keeping it off. I’m healthy and have good muscle fitness and I can do anything I ask of my body. Ben Fogel has really created something wonderful...

A 15-Year Fitness Love Affair – Home Sweet Gym! After 15 incredible years at Epic Fitness, it's about time I share the love! 💪🏋️‍♀️ From a rookie to a seasoned fitness warrior, this gym has been my constant, my anchor, and my second home.

Back in the day, when I first met Ben (the owner), I had no idea I was joining more than just a gym – I was becoming part of a fitness family. The trainers have witnessed my fitness evolution, and they've been there every step of the way from a fitness competition to pregnancy and post pregnancy bodies. All the while having personalized workouts for my current goals that keep me motivated and challenged.

As a single mom, time management is an art, and Epic Fitness has mastered it. The flexibility of schedules and the understanding of life's demands make it the perfect fit for any parent juggling a million things. Shoutout to the amazing staff for always having my back!

What sets this place apart is the bond we've formed over the years. The members have become my workout buddies, my sounding boards, and lifelong friends. It's not just a gym; it's a 15-year-long love affair that keeps getting better.

The facility has evolved with the times, staying top-notch with state-of-the-art equipment and a spotless atmosphere. The trainers, still as passionate as ever, continue to inspire and push me to new limits.

So, if you're looking for a fitness home where the family is as enduring as the gains, look no further than Epic Fitness. Here's to 15 years of sweat, laughter, and triumphs – and many more to come! 🎉 #GymFamily #FitForLife...

If you are looking for a place to just get gains and hang with the bros in a sea of machines and cables, best of luck in your search. If you are looking for a gym that has attentive and supportive coaches, a personalized workout plan created and taught by people who know what they’re talking about, and a great community feeling where you are surrounded by others who are trying to live their best healthy life then this is the place for you.

Epic Fitness Utah has been such a game changer for me. I have tried other big-box gyms in the past and usually ended up in the dark theater room because I didn’t know how to really utilize the weight machines and didn’t want to end up on the internet in one of those “gym fail” videos. That won’t happen now because the coaches at Epic show you all the proper moves and correct way to use any of their equipment. They also build a personalized workout program after talking to you about your fitness and health goals.

This is the first time in my life that I have been this consistent with any workout program or gym membership and I attribute that to the personal touches that Epic offers. From the reserved parking spot the first day I went to talk to them about signing up to the coaches learning my name the first time they met me to the greetings, high fives, and shout outs I get every time I’m there to the Friday morning class starting “Fun Sock Friday”. You aren’t just a membership number here - you are part of a community. A community of people who are willing to support, cheer, and help keep you accountable through your...
