CLient Testimonials
I’ve been going to Xcel Fitness for around 2 years now. The actual gym is great, and C2X CrossFit is even better. Joe Fecker is a fantastic and knowledgeable CrossFit coach and has helped me improve so much since taking over as head coach. I also train with him 1 on 1 and work on weightlifting skills that have tremendously helped my lifts and allowed me to work with higher weights. The entire CrossFit staff – Joe, Kylee Turko, Gynelle Nevin, Chris McNerney, Nick Borden, Madeline Cook, etc. – are such fantastic coaches who truly care about the progress you’re making, cheer you on, and push you to be your best and try new things. It’s a great and welcoming environment and I highly recommend anyone who is looking to get into CrossFit or weightlifting to utilize the intelligent and incredible people at Xcel!
I have LOVED my experience working one-on-one with Joe Fecker. He is incredible at programming, coaching the Crossfit classes, AND he is also the most meticulous and passionate trainers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I was flatlined with all my Olympic movements- but 1-2 private sessions with Joe completely changed my techniques and instantly fixed many of the issues I had struggled with for years. He has also given me a large amount of accessory work to complete outside of training that has fixed my posture, my hip mobility, and has fixed bad lifting habits that could have led to injury in the long run. When I am coached by him I feel completely safe to try more difficult movements because of his high attention to detail, skill, and overall friendly space he provides. If you are looking for a coach for mobility, a skilled olympic lifting coach, or If you are considering checking out this gym for Crossfit, look no further. I would give Joe a 10 star rating- absolutely has exceeded all of my expectations while also being extremely fun and friendly to talk to.
Most versatile facility you will find in Utah. Whether its weightlifting, yoga, pilates, crossfit,spin, there is an endless bound of fitness capacity here. Everyone starting from the staff on is friendly and passionate about making you a better person. Highly recommend Xcel to any person of any fitness level.
We were super impressed with the cleanliness of the gym and all the options available. They have yoga, CrossFit, pilates, high fitness, etc.; anything you could ever want in a gym! The staff is always friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommend!
Nicole Sohm
My wife and I have been going here for just over a year now and it has been fantastic. The staff is nice and know that I do crossfit when I come in and so they check me into class. Management has been nothing but friendly. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone who is near by
