2012 Health & Fitness-Best Exercise Facility

Peak

Cheers to 30 years — and yet another “Best of” designation. Peak Health and Wellness Center, formerly known as Ironwood Athletic Club, is celebrating its 30th anniversary in business this year. With three locations — in Hayden, Coeur d’Alene, and Post Falls — the club sure has grown a lot since it opened in 1982.

When you walk into a well-equipped Peak facility, it’s especially nice to be greeted so warmly. Peak staff are friendly and inviting, a real boost for a 7 a.m. workout or after a long day on the job. Their success isn’t just superficial, however. They back it up with expertise.

“We pride ourselves on continually being on the cutting edge of the health industry through our nutritional guidance, programming, group fitness, and our continuing education of our fitness professionals,” Peak staff told the North Idaho Business Journal.

Peak equipment and trainers are, if you’ll pardon the pun, in peak condition. But it’s not just about the treadmill. Peak offers more than 160 group fitness classes weekly with 70 personal trainers and instructors. Examples span a broad range of interests such as Xfit, yoga, Pilates, Zumba and much more. Popular group programs include Biggest Loser, TRX, Insane X, Women’s and Men’s Bootcamps have been highly successful and helped members lose weight, sculpt bodies, and improve health with the support and encouragement of other class members and instructors.

Peak is open 5 a.m. until 10 p.m. weekdays and 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. ThePeakID.com. (208) 667-2582
