Bodies In Motion

My husband and I came here for the ropes course date night. The ropes course was challenging! Although, I wished there was more trusting or communication activities for the couples. The course was set up for more individual activity. You could follow your partner around, but at no time did you work with your partner to achieve something. Just a suggestion! Or perhaps I misunderstood what the date night consisted of. The date night also included a dinner entrée for each person. The food is healthy and tasty! Thumbs up!

It is really hard to find more fun indoors in Boise than Bodies in Motion. A million programs, martial arts, indoor ropes course, giant play structure, coffee and lunch, it is perfect really.
My 11 year old daughter and I love coming here and doing the ropes course. It has high, challenging obstacles that are fun and completely safe … but give kids (and adults) a chance to feel safely out of control while learning to lead and navigate obstacles. You’ll climb, swing, jump, pull, and rappel your way around a course that requires balance, strength, coordination and courage. Most importantly, you’ll have a blast.
The owners Duncan and Rachael have put together a team of people to rival Disney. They are so focused on ensuring your experience is perfect every time that you almost forget you only drove a few minutes to have so much fun.
Plenty of parking, easy to get into, REAL service. And, if you just want to let the kids play while you enjoy a beverage, there is plenty of room for that too.
We’ll keep coming back because it is more fun that a barrel of monkeys!

We first start going to BIM last summer for tae kwon do. Their Little Ninjas program is just the right amount of fun and study for the little tots. The instructor, Rachel (also owner) is amazing with the kiddos — keeps them focused, attentive, and having fun. Then we started at the preschool, and this is when I really feel in love with BIM. The preschool program here is amazing! Sarah, Lexi, Lindsey and Jessica are beyond wonderful with the kids. I love them all and I could not have been happier with Tyler’s preschool experience. The curriculum is strong and interactive, and includes a lot of physical activity which is great for little boys (and girls!) I am very happy that my son is able to continue spending time there before and after Kindergarten. I feel so at ease knowing the BIM team is taking care of him during the day and transporting him to and from school safely. I’m really appreciative of this program and all the staff here.
The place itself can seem kind of overwhelming when you first go in — kids running everywhere, classes going on, adults hanging out drinking espresso and eating yummy flatbread… don’t worry, it’s a smoothy-​ran operation! The large «open-​play» structure is any kids’ dream. If you stop in you can relax on a comfortable couch while the kids have a ton of fun. It’s just a great overall place and we are lucky it’s near our neighborhood!

Birthday Party was fine staff person was attentive. Company overbooked and party was in hallway. Seemed there should have been cut rate for that.

Very pleased with the open play area. My 4 year old was in heaven. So much variety between the indoor play gym, costumes, train tracks, exercise ball… You name it. Was not a stuffy parent area either. Clean, cozy, bright. Has nice couches for parents or a café sitting area with tables and chairs and internet access. Will be returning!!!

Like Kelly’s review before me there is no one word you can use to describe this place. I am just finishing up their Ultimate Body Challenge which is a 10 week butt kick! I have already dropped 10 lbs and 5% body fat! I feel like I am in the best shape of my life and the staff has taught me that my body can do much more than my mind thinks it can (i.e. Box jumps!). I have so much more confidence and feel like a new person. I started the program when my son was 8 months old and I would recommend it for any mom wanting to get her body back. I am already in better shape then before I had my son.
The facility itself is great for family and kids. My husband and son come and play while I workout and then we can order delicious food for dinner. I also love the new protein shakes after an AM workout.
I can’t say enough great things about BIM. There is so many things going on there its a great place for anyone!

Ok, so you know how amped you get listening to Eye of the Tiger when you watch Rocky? Or the Star Wars theme song when it blasts onto the screen? Or maybe when you crank up Rage Against the Machine and rock out with your toddler? What, is that just me? Anyway, THAT is how excited I am to review Bodies in Motion.
I’ve known the lead instructor and owner for almost fifteen years, and have taken fitness classes from him in four different venues from his lowly beginnings as an assistant Taekwondo student/​instructor to now opening his own fitness/​karate/​daycare/​playland/​food/​coffee complex. And I have to say Duncan Richardson can work you out and run a business like nobody’s…well…business.
This place is awesome. The whole concept is to get people moving and healthy. Kids, adults, in shape and obese… everyone fits in here and they really care about you.
First the instructor staff: Duncan the lead is personable and charismatic and can almost will the fat off you. It’s amazing. He makes it fun to kill yourself in a thairobics class and I’m pretty sure he could make a root canal a good time. His wife/​biz partner Rachel is an ex BSU cheerleader and mother of four… who looks like she coud whip Schwarzeneggers tail. Ripped! And is also super nice and very good at getting students to work. Kyndal should’ve been a drill seargant… heck, maybe she was? Either way, she knows her stuff and does not allow failure in her class. You always get a great workout. Rhea seems like she’s going to be nice to you in class, and comes off so friendly it’s disarming… then bam you’re sore for a week! Which, is exactly what you want in an instructor. I’m actually sore as I type this from Rhea kicking my butt last night. There are a few other instructors as well, and they’re really all awesome.
The facility: Wow. It’s got a wave slides that is tied for the largest indoor one in North America. The slide is attached to a kid-​zone type climbing gym playland thing… I can’t describe it better than that, but it’s got slides and obstacles and a little zip line thing… it’s cool. So while your kids play there (or stay in the on-​site daycare facility), you can take Karate and/​or fitness classes (which run simultaneously). There is a ropes course on site, and if you get hungry there are wraps and pizza and espresso available at the café inside. It’s brand new and set up perfectly for families on the go… which is what I like best.
I could go on for days: There’s after school van pickup, they do birthday parties, and on and on… it’s just pretty awesome and I highly recommend you go check it out. I got to partake in the first Thairobics class they held there last night, and it was really impressive.
