This has been the best gym experience me and my fiancé have ever been a part of! The gym culture is top notch! The owners John & Jess go out of their way to make sure the atmosphere is welcoming, immaculately clean, they encourage good gym etiquette and make everyone feel like a part of a family. Not only is this a safe space, but it has the biggest and best equipment available 24/7! They’re quick to greet you and make training at any time possible. As an added bonus they have trainers, body work specialists, and nutritionists easily accessible in the same building for all of your health and wellness needs. I highly recommend this gym to anyone and everyone, no matter what your goals or where you are on you journey! Run, don’t walk to this gem of a gym! 10/10

I have been lifting on and off for years. Been to every gym in the valley and across other states, I know the feel of good equipment and a good gym for lifting.I have multiple memberships to the very best in the valley (Butler Pro, Hardbodiez, The Training Room) because I’m all over and love ease of access no matter where I am.My girlfriend and I signed up here and I waited to write this review. I can confidently say this place is awesome. It is my number one spot and I try to make it here every time at all possible for my workouts. It’s home base with Butler for me. The equipment is amazing.Every machine you want, quality benches and dumbbells. John and Jess keep it very clean. And as a long timer gym goer, I notice the details - the small things the owners make available for people. Phone charging stations, liquid chalk, belts, jump ropes, an excellent selection of cable attachments, mirrors for the squat racks, great music, etc.The owners also just took out a wall so there is a ton of space and more machines than ever. Mostly plate loading machines which are fantastic with the smoothest movements and best results, but you’ll be hard pressed to not find what you need here. There are some machines/equipment even I have not seen or not seen in a long time which is impressive. Even the shower/changing room is awesome. And the owners have more to come they’re working hard on.Anyways, this place will obviously get busier with the good reviews that will undoubtably be coming in but the owners deserve it. Lot of pride was put into this place and it shows.Thanks for the awesome workout spot!

Our favorite gym in Utah! You won’t find a problem with the people or equipment here. If there is anything that needs fixing it’s done right then and there. The owners genuinely care and are great people, the equipment is unique and well taken care of! Highly recommend.

Came into SLC for a quick vacation from Midland, Texas and needed a gym. Looked at many online, read reviews and decided on The Refinery. Walked in and I knew this was the spot I would spend my week for my gym therapy. $35/week for a week pass which is great especially if you go to the gym daily for an hour to two hours at a timeAlso it's 24 hours, open all the time, amd the owners John (Big John) and Jessica are owners who know what athletes need in a gym setting. The quipment ranges from old school, to new school, med balls, kettlebells, plenty of bands, chains, free weights that go beyond 135, cable machines and there is a piece of equipment that is specifically for the anterior tibialis (shin muscle). The guys and women who workout here take it serious. Seems many are training for bodybuilding events and avid gym-goers. It could be intimidating for first timers but those who have been in it for years like myself (14yrs), it's exactly where you want to be, around healthy, shredded, gallon water toting, protein eating women and men. Definitely and highly recommend The Refinery as the BEST GYM IN SLC and maybe even Utah in whole.

there’s not enough stars for this gym, fell in love the 1st visit to the refinery, I was looking for a gym where I can be vulnerable, ugly (not having the pressure of having to always look a certain way like at commercial gyms) and really push myself in my health journey so a month ago decided to invest in myself and got a membership here! The people, the trainers, the environment are UNMATCHED, of course the equipment is amazing, it’s a motivation in the most encouraging way without words just being there around them, they have bodybuilding pro’s that train people here and train at the gym so I was kind of nervous however they are so welcoming, no ones workout is more important then someone else’s, but really the OWNERS make this gym. Jon and Jess are so kind making this gym feel like my safe place besides my home, so happy I found the Refinery!P.s. there’s plenty of room to walk around 😊
