I cannot name 3 other things In Boise. Seems like they're the best game in town.

Building looks like factory and gym like a fitness club. You would prolly get kicked out for doing deadlifts and slamming the weight on the floor or yelling while squatting. Or dropping the bar doing squat when you fail and try to avoid getting pinned.
This is impressive

The gym looks like a bunch of machines to me. Not my type of gym.

I always seem to get arrested in Boise.

The picture selection is a bit average, Ron.
Cardio machines, a door and some volleyball setup?
Show us the savage weights room.

Wish I worked there. I bet there are some nice hot pieces of ass there.

They took the seven figures they were giving Chickster and put it back into the company. They got tired of the ice machine stories and the Capt. Krunch outfits

He wasn't conducive with the image the brand was trying to convey. Things got worse when he conned BSN for a contract. He had zero product knowledge and couldn't speak intelligently about the company's offerings. They caught on quicker and showed Chick the door.

Even if you don't like their gym... Bodybuilding.com is an excellent company. I've put orders in 4pm and received the goods by early afternoon the next day.

More on the story

It took a little over $18 million, a few years of location hunting and a setback — vandalism that caused $240,000 of damage — but the Boise company that sells products and services to body-building enthusiasts online has moved into its new home in West Boise.
Bodybuilding.com's new headquarters, near the intersection of Cloverdale Road and Chinden Boulevard, is about 100,000 square feet. The building, which Bodybuilding.com bought, is large enough to house both the corporate offices and customer service staff, with room to grow, CEO Ryan DeLuca told the Idaho Statesman.
"It changes things, because we can work together a lot more closely," DeLuca said. "People have been coming up to me and being like, 'Man, I'm seeing all these people I haven't seen for months.'"
BodyBuilding.com has about 700 employees, with about 520 in Boise. The rest work at distribution centers in Pennsylvania and Florida and in Costa Rica, the United Kingdom and Brazil.
"We've just been growing so fast over the past few years," he said.
DeLuca told Inc. magazine in 2007 that BodyBuilding.com was on track for $90 million of sales that year, with 140 employees. Today it has 700 employees and three distribution centers. DeLuca said the company made $400 million in sales last year.
Bodybuilding.com also bought some property near the building, where it has built volleyball and basketball courts.
Employees can push a button to turn their work stations into standing desks, according to a news release announcing a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the headquarters next Friday, Sept. 6.

AGREED

Bodybuilding.com has lost my business. I am finished with them. I attempted to order something. i had a new shipping address and the computer declined my order. I contacted my bank and told them of my new shipping address and they noted it...I tried ordering again and it was declined again.
I will never shop their again and the company should be ashamed that their worthless new computer system is pushing away long time good customers.
Thanks for nothing.
Great new gym...by raising prices to pay for their new amazing computer system and new gym they are losing customers
PATHETIC
I am sure they wont recover.

Gene' $55 order every other month of on sale protein was what kept them afloat.

Hopefully he got the 15lb bag of protein, just for good measure :)

Someone else said it here and I'm going to reiterate it. When I order from Bodybuilding.com I get the order two days later. I haven't ordered anything from anyone that comes that fast by UPS.

That is why they have the other warehouses. After the order is placed it gets filled and shipped at the nearest one to your address. Unless an item is out of stock of course.

a real bodybuilding headquarters would have a pharmaceutical laboratory in it.
