Ten months ago my doctor recommended strength training to build bone density, decrease body fat, and to speed up my metabolism. Why did I wait six months before I started strength training? I waited mainly out of fear. I didnt want to train in a place where I felt uncomfortable. What muscle gym would welcome a middle aged chunky woman? I found one, Black Sheep Athletic. Not only do I feel comfortable, I feel welcome. I am encouraged to do my best and I am forced to get out of my comfort zone. All ages and skill levels are welcome. Some people look like the incredible hulk but others dont. (Even the incredible hulks are nice here.) I would recommend Black Sheep Athletic to any one who is interested in strength training. In a couple of months, I wont be a middle aged woman, I will be a lean and fit cougar. . .just kidding about the cougar. I will be a roaring lion.

I’ve had a hard time getting back into working out after being with a large chain gym so I decided to try the strength and conditioning class at Black Sheep Athletics and LOVE it!! I never say I love working out and I’m not a morning person yet despite that, I’ve been coming to the 6am class for a couple of months and look forward to being there. Dave is an excellent instructor, knowledgeable and knows how to motivate. I’m seeing changes in my fitness and appearance and can’t wait to see what the next months bring. The gym is so clean, excellent equipment, safe and all around welcoming. I would recommend this gym to anyone wanting h to improve thier mind and body.

What a great facility! I’ve attended four classes so far and I will attest to the energy and commitment that is provided by the training is exactly what I’ve been looking for. They care about my safety while pushing me to gain my own maximum commitment and results! Very personable and friendly while adhering to a respectable and ethical code of behavior. Thank you guys for the opportunity to make my workouts more effective and enjoyable!

This gym is clean, functional, the owner is authentic, and the work ethic is palpable. It’s a super friendly and supportive environment where you will be encouraged to be your best. A good friend of mine has been recovering from an injury by training here with the owner. He has made drastic improvements in just a short time. Like many have said before, it feels like family.

Amazing training! David is a great coach, motivates and encourages to perform better every day.Group classes are so fun and also so effective. It’s been just a month and I feel great.And have to say, the gym is super clean and well maintained

I had the pleasure of meeting David and visiting his gym while we were in town for the masters weightlifting nationals. He opened his gym to us and made us feel at home. Blacksheep Athletic is very well equipped for all fitness disciplines. There were platforms for us to use. David was a very gracious host and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything my wife and I needed to train. Thanks David we will be back.

David has welcomed me into the Black Sheep family from the first day I set foot in this beautiful facility. Excellent equipment, clean environment, freedom to work at your own pace (once he knows you know what youre doing), or to join classes and/or quality private coaching sessions. Black Sheep is one of a kind, and feels like a second home to me.

David is absolutely amazing, very knowledgeable and detailed with his workout planning. The gym is one of the finest facilities Ive gotten to sweat in, even compared to the US Ski Team Center of Excellence. The combination of the two make for an amazing experience just by walking through the door!

Outstanding facility with a great mission. As a combat vet, I fully appreciate being able to workout in a secure facility among members who have been previously vetted. Equipment is top notch and entire place is always kept exceptionally clean and well maintained. Fully recommend.

This place is awesome! Was looking for a no BS gym while I was in town and found this gem! They have some of the best equipment I would only dream my gym in AZ had and David (the owner) was extremely inviting and courteous. I would give more stars if I could!

Black Sheep is one of the best gyms I’ve ever worked out at. Dave, the owner, has spent a lot of time and energy setting it up just so to be one of the best strength and conditioning gyms out there. If you’re looking for a place to get strong, mobile and have fun, I highly recommend it!

I have trained in multiple gyms in Salt Lake and Black Sheep is by the far the cleanest, most organized, and well operated. It has off hours access for private members. On top of that, it has a mission to support people wounded in combat or injured in accidents. There is ample space for wheelchairs and great equipment for adaptive athletes. Its a hidden gem!!

I love Black sheep with all my heart. It is literally like a 2nd home to me and Ive gained a lot of confidence in myself while working out there. It is very clean and the equipment is so nice. Its a smaller gym which I like a lot and everyone there is so kind and supportive. I definitely recommend it

Really classy gym. Great place for beginners and those looking to get in shape. Good workout programs that can be tailored to personal needs

One of the best gyms I’ve ever gone to, great staff equipment and amazing atmosphere to lift and work on pushing yourself to the best you! Can’t wait to come home and call this gym my home!

A phenomenal secure 24 hour facility run by an incredibly professional staff. This gym will satisfy every fitness requirement you could ever dream of! Take a tour and you will never want to work out anywhere else ever again.

My partner and I have been coming to the Black Sheep Gym for 4 months now and have seen great results with personal attention from Dave every day. We have both seen our muscle percentage increase and our body fat percentage decrease considerably. Most importantly, Sheri has had a 30 percent increase in her titamium shoulder mobility, and considerable less pain, a result her physician said wasnt going to happen. Sheri had been dealing with this since her injury 6 years ago.

Excellent facility with all the equipment needed for Olympic weightlifting, power lifting, and strongman training and competition prep. Fantastic staff to assist you in your fitness goals. Would highly recommend to all.

Outstanding facility with anything a lifter would ever need. Very clean, organized and the owner is fantastic (and a veteran!).If you live in SLC, or are just passing through, this is the place for serious lifters to train.

Awesome gym and Awesome people. I’ve struggled with some injuries in my right leg and found people that believed in me and pushed me. David Blackett is my trainer and the owner and I’ve never met someone that wants me to improve as much as he does. It’s a family here and I highly recommend checking it out

Awesome gym, great size classes and personal attention couldn’t be any better. David is the best !! I Highly recommended to give it try.

Finally a amazing facility catering to law enforcement and military. Strength training. Dave owner is a great guy.

Absolutely loved this gym!I was lucky enough to drop into this place by mistake on my walk around Salt Lake City, while on a very short visitDavid was amazing. It is obvious from our first introduction that this place is an extension of himself, a place that is built with every detail in mind, giving you the very best. It’s not for show. It’s just the real deal.The facility is great, providing you with everything imaginable. Heart and soul was definitely given in the creation of Black Sheep Athletic. If you are serious about training, you gotta drop into this place if you’re in the SLC area. And if you’re staying for longer, you need to join the community. Will 100% be returning on my next SLC trip. Thank you again for the great lifting sesh. This is any humans dream, do yourself a favor and support this gym and all it has to offer.

I am having a great time working out in a group of people here, we motivate each other, Also David is a great trainer, definitely love this place.

What this place does is exceptional! They truly understand and care for those that are there to work!

I love this place, I am a bit older and I have not felt this good in years. Try it you will like it!!!

Great facility with friendly and knowledgeable coaching staff!
