Body Temple Athletics

Fantastic experience: Fantastic facility and extremely accommodating. I'm on the road constantly but training for a national competition, Heidi was a legend for allowing me in to train in her gym - and the quality of gear is second to none. Can't recommend this place enough.

Fantastic experience: Heidi is one of the most amazing trainer and woman I have ever met. She is very knowledgeable in what she does and I’ve had amazing progress.

Fantastic experience: Love training at BTA! Heidi is extremely knowledgeable, and creates an inclusive and fun environment. The classes are kept small and adjustments are made on a personal level to fulfill individual strengths and goals. Your overall health is important here, and Heidi continues to seek out ways to increase the value of being a member. Before starting my journey here, I couldn’t do a bench press due to an injury- learning correct form has enabled me to have gains that I never thought was possible!

I love the judgement free atmosphere, how you always have someone helping you with form and pushing you to do better. The staff is very friendly and positive. The gym is always clean and there’s plenty of variety in equipment. I never thought I would love strongman but once I started going to BTA I can’t imagine not doing strongman again. I add many of the lifts to my regular training sessions. I love this place!

I throughly enjoy Heidi’s stance on learning and understanding the importance on form and health before anything else. Longevity and safety is key and that has to go along with proper education from awesome coaches. Highly recommend, especially if you’re interested in power lifting and/or strong man. You’ll totally fit right in

If you want to pick up heavy things and put them back down, this is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: In February a random thing happened, I found that BTA was holding a beginning/starting Strongman class. This was something I found interesting, and attended the first night. Since February I've continued attending the Strongman Class, have purchased a membership and am thoroughly loving it. Part of what keeps bringing me back is the staff, Heidi, Rebecca and Nicole were all totally welcoming of a new person to their class and they know their stuff. They make sure to show correct technique and make sure that all the athletes are safe. The other thing that keeps me coming back are the other athletes. We push each other and have a good time while working out. BTA provides all the necessary equipment in a clean, fun atmosphere! Come check out a Strongman class, or any of the other offerings at BTA! A year after starting to attend I'm still going to BTA. The gym has added awesome new Strongman equipment. Same awesome people, same awesome owner! I love BTA!

Fantastic experience: In town from Georgia and dropped in. Heidi is amazing and strongman Saturday is so fun with an awesome group of people! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! ❤❤ Small classes and the most awesome coaches. Helping me get stronger and do things I never thought I could The atmosphere is so much fun and positive. Cant find that at big box gyms

Fantastic experience: My Guru/mentor holds space for us here at this gym. When I enter those doors I feel a peace in my soul that reverberates throughout the rest of my life

Fantastic experience: Health first, performance second? No joke! Percentage-based workouts and an emphasis on proper form make you stronger and less prone to injury. Your choice of music every night and random trivia questions make you come back for more... look no further for powerlifting in Salt Lake City.

Fantastic experience: Coach Heidi is amazing as knowledgeable about powerlifting and strongman; the gym is clean and always organized; and all the trainers are very supportive of all of the athletes. Call and setup an appointment to visit the facilities and meet Coach Heidi

Fantastic experience: Heidi is great! She's a trainer concerned about the whole person not just one's physical health. In my experience, she listens to her clients concerns and addresses them. The gym feels clean too.

Fantastic experience: The staff here are friendly and the equipment is in good condition. They have barbells, plates, stones, sandbags, yokes, farmer's handles, and basically most of the things you would need for strength training. I'd definitely go here again.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place and the people! Great place to go for community and fitness.

Fantastic experience: Professional and knowledgeable coaches. Fun, inviting, and motivating atmosphere. Feels like family!

Fantastic experience: As a chiropractor I get to meet and visit different gyms and fitness establishments. BTA is always clean and organized. The flow of equipment is set up to allow for the best use of space possible. They should be proud of what they have built. I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Heidi is super wonderful. As a newly postpartum momma she was very kind and warm when talking to me about my goals.

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and the trainers are top notch. Perfect gym to get stronger or just improve your overall health and well-being.

Fantastic experience: Exceptional coaches, exceptional environment, exceptional equipment, exceptional comradery...what more could you want? Maybe STRONGMAN implements? It has tons of them!!! Hello!?!?!? I am so happy to have found this place! Pulling trucks, carrying stones, pressing logs, doing tire deadlifts, etc. It is just too much fun and one heck of a workout! This is also great to prepare for the new Army Combat Fitness Test! Just loving it!

Fantastic experience: When I was 5 I looked up at my mom and said, "Mom! I want to go to the Olympics." She smiled and said if you work hard I think you will. Years later when I was 14 I remember thinking about that but the thought instantly left my mind while I shoved a doughnut into my mouth and yelled at my friend for using cheat codes during an epic match of Goldeneye. Boy did I not stick to my goals. Span a few years later Im sitting at the rec center gym on facebook thinking thoughts like why Im not jacked out of my mind, why aren't the ladies washing their hoodies on my abs, why in the world do my arms hurt while putting the pop tart in the toaster, and why cant I lift more than the bar off the rack? These thoughts would haunt me at night and follow me during the day. Then one day on a cool spring morning I was awoken by a voice much like Morgan Freeman's. The voice said, " Erik! If you want to be the man you have dreamed about since you were 5 find the one they call Heidi!" Before I could get my weak butt out of bed I went on the internet and found the one the voice told me to find. I called BTA and joined instantly . I was introduced to strongman and functional fitness. Because I listened to the voice I am now like unto a Greek god. Not the demi ones i mean like the full blown Zues types. My body screams of success and hard work. All thanks to the Morgan Freeman voice and Heidi and the team at BTA. If you want to be like me or even just want to hang out with some of the nicest people on Earth give BTA a call. Tell them Erik sent you. It won't do you any good but it will make me feel cool.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! Every single person there genuinely cares and wants to see you be your best self! Life can be stressful and this place is an amazing escape from that also, the fact it has some of the best equipment anywhere doesnt hurt either

Fantastic experience: Highly recommended by everyone who trains there. From beginners to elite athletes.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym that put on an amazing strongman comp. Strongman classes offered too! Go here if you want to lift heavy stuff!

Fantastic experience: Being in the fitness industry for over 5 years I have to say BTA is one of the cleanest gyms I have ever been in. It’s a great location for Utahns that want to continue to grow and learn in strength sports. The staff provides a knowledgeable and positive atmosphere to help clients feel safe and reach goals.

Fantastic experience: BTA creates a positive environment through a great coach and great athletes. It’s very inviting for those who are just beginning to very experienced lifters. I’ll definitely be returning to this gym anytime I visit SLC!

Fantastic experience: Worked with Heidi in booking an open-training session while visiting Salt Lake. Absolutely incredible gym, fantastic staff, and great equipment! Will definitely be returning

Fantastic experience: This gym is incredible. I’ve been looking for a place where I feel comfortable, independent, and pushed. This is an amazing atmosphere with passionate coaches and staff. Wish there were 6-7 stars.

Fantastic experience: Very fun and energetic group of people! Very clean gym with good equipment!

Fantastic experience: BTA is a hidden gem accessible to all; Heidi and her crew are positive, encouraging professionals who know how to dig deep and lift heavy, and how to inspire others to do the same. The space is clean, the crowd is all smiles and hard work, the various classes offered are kept small and personal so you get the attention you need no matter what level you're at, and best of all, no BS rules about grunting or dropping weights! BTA is truly a place where everyone is accepted, folks old and new are welcomed as friends, and you're gonna lift something heavy! Support your local professionals and stop wasting time at the casual 24 spots!

Fantastic experience: Body Temple is such an amazing community of strength for every level of athlete. I had the privilege of beginning a Strongman Special Interest Group with the National Strength and Conditioning Association with Heidi and her work ethic, enthusiasm, and knowledge of strength training is incredible. The environment at Body Temple is welcoming for athletes of every level, whether you are looking for help beginning a practical, science-based and effective training regimen or to take the next step in your strength career, give Body Temple your time. You won't be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: BTA is an outstanding gym for both beginners and serious competitors! I’ve loved my time here so far and I’ve learned so many new exercises. Better than that, it’s more than just a gym, there are always competitions, parties, and charitable events going on so there’s something for everyone. The atmosphere and people are fantastic. Everyone feels loved and included. 10/10 I highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Heidi's powerlifting team for a little over a year now and I am shocked at all the progress I've made in such a short time! I came in with no experience or knowledge about lifting and would just stick to the cardio machines whenever I entered a gym. In just a year I have learned so much about lifting and nutrition, which is empowering knowledge I'll have forever. The strength I've gained has translated into every aspect of my life. For example, when I began skiing again this year I was shocked at my increased endurance and better form. On top of all this Heidi has made the gym an awesome family and all the coaches sincerely care about the gym members. If you are looking for a supportive community, knowledge that will last your lifetime, increased confidence, and strength this new year then I highly recommend looking into BTA!

Fantastic experience: I started coming to Strongman Saturdays because I realized it was necessary to take my competition to the next level. The community Heidi has built is incredible - coaching and support here is like nothing I've ever experienced. I can get stronger at any gym. Here, I can get better too.

Fantastic experience: Being postpartum I was worried about working out again. Heidi was great...she understood my limitations but pushed me to move beyond my mental limitations. Working out was fun too.

Fantastic experience: Zero “gym-timidation”, friendly community, and great for any experience level. Everyone is welcome here! Clean space, quality equipment, and knowledgeable coaches. If you’re looking for an elevated gym experience, this is it.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, great people, and a lot of fun! Very knowledgeable staff, emphasis on form and functionality. A safe/friendly environment to improve physically and mentally. Love it there!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for roughly 4 months. WOW. I've been working out for about 3-4 years prior and in the short time that I've been here, my body has really balanced itself out, body transformation! Heidi and staff know their stuff, all specializing in different things. If you have a question, you'll get your answer with an earful of proven science. They have fluent and always changing programs to follow that really open the doors to your body. Even some fundamentals mixed in to really keep you entertained and not feeling monotonous like your standard gym. I came here because I wanted to be able and strong and I feel exactly that today. Proven athletes and skilled people of amazing fields come here. My body in a short 4 months... results don't lie. This is the right place to be if you care about your body.

Fantastic experience: I have been to a couple of their strongman workouts and a calisthenics class. Heide is very thoughtful and is always making sure you have everything you need. The coaches, Nicole and Chris, I worked with the most and they were very helpful and knowledgeable. They took the time to make sure my technique was correct and gave me personal tips. The overall staff is great! They make you feel welcomed no matter where you are starting. I will definitely go back again.

Fantastic experience: This place is so much fun. Heidi is super friendly and has a great personality. They have a wide array of equipment from typical weightlifting, calestenics and strongman. We just did their open gym strongman lift (Saturday at 10:30am) and we did farmers carry, yolk walk, stone lifting, overhead work and a few others. It's a blast! They also have a few trainers here to help you throughout the workout. Today we were trained by Coach Nicole and she is absolutely fantastic. Give them a try!

Fantastic experience: The gym is great and the people are very helpful and approachable. There's a ton of equipment and different lifts that made the workout progressively push myself. Heidi, Chris, Nicole, and John are great coaches! 10/10 would lift again.

Fantastic experience: Loved it. Great place. Good tips

Fantastic experience: Heidi and Hill are the BEST! I started training with them coming off a back injury, and they were so knowledgeable and helpful every step of the way. They kept my injury in mind with every exercise, and worked with me to correct movement patterns. They gave me insights and tips that I never would have come up with on my own, and I feel so much more confident in my body's abilities. I cannot recommend BTA enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been working with Heidi for two months. She has been a great help nutritionally and with accountability. She has quickly been able to identify specific issues in my nutrition plan and she has helped me find solutions to live a healthier lifestyle. I would greatly recommend Heidi, she works with you on your individual needs with kindness and compassion. She is a great motivator and asset to have on your side. Thank you Heidi!

Fantastic experience: Working with Heidi is amazing! She gets it!

She is helpful with returning to activity after an injury as well as helping you become your strongest and highest performing self yet. I do not hesitate to refer patients to her for strength and conditioning guidance.

Fantastic experience: I attended Heidi's powerlifting group. I felt immediately at home with her and the group; Heidi created a feeling of community and inclusion with her humor, down to earth nature, and individualized attention. She encouraged me through the group workout, assisting me with perfecting form and getting out of my comfort zone. The group training routine was dynamic, interesting, and well-rounded. I loved It! Thanks Heidi!

Fantastic experience: I had taken a break from MTB, road riding, and snowboarding for the past three years. I gained weight and lost my endurance. Deciding recently to get back to the things I love, I first wanted to know where my fitness level stood. Heidi lead me through a series of tests to give me a picture of where I stand, and showed me how I can get back to my previous fitness level. Heidi is very thorough and encouraging, showing you the areas to concentrate on for feeling better. Talk to her today.

Fantastic experience: Heidi is a true expert who cares and listens to her clients. My wife and I consulted with Heidi about a meal plan that was specific to our needs. She took the time to listen to us and customized a strategy just for us. She didn't just give us a pre-determined meal plan. She really cares about her clients and their needs. Very professional and personal - a rare combination in today's world!

Fantastic experience: I took a yoga class from Heidi weekly Over the span of around 8 months and definitely recommend her! She was great at offering suggestions for different difficulty levels and I appreciated her professional and caring demeanor.

Fantastic experience: She's (she being Heidi) has helped me with several preps leading up to competitions. One of the most knowledgeable trainers I know (and I know a ton). Beginner, intermediate or advance lifters would definitely benefit from Heidi and BTA's help with whatever fitness goal that you may have.

Fantastic experience: Heidi is professional, kind and knowledgeable. You never will feel uncomfortable with Heidi. She knew I wasn't comfortable working out with a bunch of fit, strong, "beautiful" people. She set up a private time for me to work out where I wouldn't feel intimidated by other people. I appreciated that small gesture so much.

Fantastic experience: Heidi is one of the most gifted trainers I've ever worked with! Right from the start I trusted her, because she was not only attentive to every movement, but stopped me to make adjustments and coached me along the way, ensuring that I was not only targeting the correct muscles, but doing so in a safe and effective way. Her knowledge and philosophy regarding the human body, exercise, food and nutrition is unparalleled. I highly recommend working with Heidi, regardless of what your health and fitness goals may be.
