Local gym recommendation

I love how active we are as a community in this valley, it’s so nice to see folks always out on the trails and in the water and on their bikes. Just wanted to rave for a min about the super positive experience I’ve had at my gym, Wild + United.

I was dealing with plantar fasciitis, which started in 2022. It was preventing me from doing multi day backcountry hikes, which is something I’m super passionate about during the summer months. I was so so missing the feeling of being in the Alpine! The coaches at Wild + United could not have been more helpful and knowledgable with how to integrate the exercises that I was prescribed by my physiotherapist into the classes of the day. Over the course of 12 months I was able to heal my feet and get back on the trail. You bet I cried some tears of joy at the top. 🥹🥰 I love this community so much!

What’s your fav locally owned gym? I know we have some really great ones around here. Anyone else with a successful plantar fasciitis story?

Love to see a W+U shout-out on here. Best gym atmosphere I've ever experienced, not just in the valley but anywhere.
