Services
Our unique studio was created 20 years ago to truly serve the Boise Area through excellent personal training and group classes. Our trainers and facility both reflect our mission to serve. Find out why. Body Basics Trainers not only lead by example in the realm of health and fitness but also exemplify great character and positive attitudes.
Personal Training at Body Basics revolves around the concept of Functional Movement. That means we focus on the proficiency of movement patterns and not just isolated muscle exercises. Our goal for each client is to improve their ability to move, give them the tools to stay fit, and create a fun and exciting experience.
Nutrition is the foundation of wellness and fitness. Through our Precision Nutrition Coaching model, our coaches will guide you towards your best self yet! We will help you learn how to use food to fuel your body, accomplish your goals, and enjoy life in a greater way. Our approach is simple. We listen to you and through our knowledge and expertise help you find the next best steps towards success.
Remote training is similar to our in-studio personal training: you are teamed up with your own certified, personal trainer who fits your needs best; you are assessed virtually (or on-site) before any program is designed; your trainer creates a unique workout specifically for you utilizing the equipment and space you have available; and then you are trained--virtually!
Working at Body Basics is more than just a job, it's being part of a family and making a difference in people's lives through fitness. The culture among the clients and the trainers is key to our success. We've created a environment that's been likened to the "cheers" of gyms. We take that as a huge compliment!

There are so many gyms, home gym equipment, workout technologies, and general access to fitness in the market today but there is no substitute for quality, trainer led instruction. My time is valuable to me which is why I choose Body Basics for focused training on a regular schedule. James and Christine Kling are well educated proprietors who hired licensed and experienced trainers. Melissa McPherson is helping me build strength but especially helping me prevent injury and even rehab injuries sustained in other activities outside of the gym. I’ve been a Body Basics client since June of 2004.

Body Basics is a multi-purpose physical fitness facility featuring a broad array of equipment and highly experienced staff. Focus on overall body strength and muscle flexibility was the primary reason for my joining their program. I was not disappointed and have noticed a reduction in the lower back pain that took me there in the first place. I have enjoyed working with my personal trainer and appreciate her friendliness, professional approach and patience while working with me on each individual exercise.

I started working with Christine in October 2019 after specifically running a search for personal trainer + autoimmune + Boise. She truly understands adrenal fatigue and how to adapt my training program so that I still get a solid workout without overtaxing my adrenals. I appreciate that she is comfortable with me checking in with her frequently to update her on how I'm feeling and cheers my successes. It's been a delight working with Christine, even though I now do my workouts virtually due to the pandemic. The bonus to doing the virtual sessions is that I now know that no matter where I am in

I started at Body Basics in 2018 and have never left! Their owners and trainers are wonderful people and offer a variety of services to best meet your goals. Since the pandemic began, I have taken advantage of their remote personal training and find it to be surprisingly just as beneficial! I admire how well they adapted to the pandemic keeping their staff and clients safe.

I started working out with the trainers at Body Basics about 6 months ago, and from day one, I have been 100% satisfied with my decision to start training there. Body Basics provides a personalized workout experience based on your goals and specific needs. You can choose to workout in-person, and they offer virtual training sessions as well. The facilities are spotless, and with the current COVID situation, they are limiting the number of people allowed in the gym during each training session plus wiping down equipment at regular intervals. I highly recommend this personal training facility!

I started training at Body Basics about 18 months ago. Since then, I've worked with trainers who listened to my interests and responded with training which is complimentary to my other interests like golf, running, and recently, boxing! My trainer also had to adapt to my broken foot, adjusting my training so I could continue almost seamlessly. BB has a great staff, super friendly, and the clientele I've come to know make it fun. I'm really happy being a client of and having a family of friends at BB!

I've been training here for over a year now. I first started with Body Basics when I was 3 months postpartum and I had fairly moderate Diastasis Recti. My trainer was very knowledgeable and helpful right from the start. She helped make sure my movements were keeping me safe AND progressing my abilities. All the training plans are individualized too so I was able to get the personalized attention I needed in order to hit my goals without causing injury. Since healing my DR I have worked with other trainers too and they have all been great. Everyone is super knowledgeable and friendly and the environment

Highly recommend place for fitness and nutrition goals! I came in with big goals and they showed me it was possible. They are very caring and committed to helping people achieve their goals and know how to help anyone. All their trainers are great to work with and keep you motivated. James has been awesome to work with on nutrition to better help me with my diet that I can use forever. I always look forward to every session at Body Basics!

I feel so fortunate to be able to workout at Body Basics. They’ve taken every protocol with the pandemic, and ensure everyone’s safety first and foremost. Besides being a safe environment, their trainers are very knowledgeable and caring. I’ve reached physical goals and look genuinely forward to my workouts! My personal trainer always remembers to check in on old injuries and makes sure I’m in good form. She also has a wealth of knowledge about health & is kind enough to guide me through some of my challenges. I couldn’t recommend body basics more!
