That led them to open their own fitness gym.<\/p>\n<p>Psychotic Addictions Gym opened in November at 2825 East 14th North in Ammon, inside an 1,800-square-foot industrial building near iJump. The couple held a grand opening celebration earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>In a conversation with EastIdahoNews.com, Nikki describes it as a 24\/7 functional fitness gym. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a gym built (for people) to move,\u201d Nikki says. \u201cYou\u2019re not going to go in there and just sit on a machine. We do have bikes, rowers (and dumbbells), but no cable machines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nikki says the gym appeals to a niche crowd, but for those who know what it is and how to use it, it\u2019s an enjoyable experience. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/gym-pic-2.jpg\" alt=\"Equipment inside Psychotic Addictions Gym in Ammon. | Courtesy Nikki Roberts\" width=\"1201\" height=\"600\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-807623\"  \/>Equipment inside Psychotic Addictions Gym in Ammon. | Courtesy Nikki Roberts<\/p>\n<p>Nine different workout programs are available to help members get started. They can follow those programs or do their own thing.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki and her husband moved back to the area from Meridian in 2020 and found a remote trainer in Utah to help them get in shape. They were looking for something they could do with minimal equipment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to be able to climb a rope more than once, I wanted to be able to do strict pull-ups,\u201d says Nikki. <\/p>\n<p>They\u2019ve stuck with it for the last five years, and she says they\u2019re \u201caddicted to the results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to be stronger and fitter, and this has definitely done it!\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Through the years, Nikki says many people have seen how intense their workouts are and said they\u2019re \u201ccrazy for doing that.\u201d That\u2019s how they came up with the gym\u2019s name.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re a little bit crazy to do what we do, but you just keep going back because you\u2019re addicted to the results,\u201d Nikki says.<\/p>\n<p>She says they\u2019re thrilled to have a space where other people can get a good workout.<\/p>\n<p>Nikki says it would be great if the business took off and they could open another location. But for now, they\u2019re focused on serving customers at this location.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not going to have 300 people coming in because the space is just not big enough,\u201d she says. \u201cWe want to make sure people have room to do what they want when they want to do it.
