“Our motivation has always been to have something that brings as many people along with us as we can - and creates a positive experience for everyone involved - instead of focusing on how Lynndsey and I can just elevate ourselves.” That is how Zac Eldridge describes what he and his wife, Lynndsey Eldridge, set out to build at Big Mountain Barbell, their Midvale gym that has grown from a 2,500-square-foot warehouse into an 11,000-square-foot training facility rooted in community.

“There is a connection, I don't even know how to explain it, between just moving your body and being healthy.” Lya Wodraska has carried that belief through every chapter of her life. Today, it sits at the center of The BackLine SLC, the gym she built to help people find what their bodies need, whether that means building strength, easing chronic pain, or simply learning how to move with more confidence.
