The Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse

What The Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse does

The Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse is a non-profit community fitness and wellness facility headquartered in Boise, Idaho, operating from a 46,000 sq ft purpose-built building on nearly 7 acres. The facility was funded primarily by the J.A. & Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation and co-houses three distinct organizations: Mission43 (a veteran/military-family organization), the Challenged Athletes Foundation – Idaho (CAF-Idaho, serving adaptive athletes), and Summit Hyperbarics & Wellness. Its core offering is physical infrastructure and programming rather than a standalone technology product — weight rooms, indoor turf, climbing and bouldering walls, a yoga studio, Spartan SGX training space, and hyperbaric chambers — supported by staff of 1–10 and a mobile app used for class registration.

The programming portfolio is structured around the FORGED family of functional-fitness programs for veterans, including FORGED (core cohort), FORGED Together (couples/family extension), and FORGED Challenge (12-week structured format). Adjacent programming covers yoga, climbing, Spartan SGX training, and adaptive-sports conditioning delivered through CAF-Idaho. Summit Hyperbarics extends the facility into recovery and wellness services with an explicit first-responder adjacency alongside the veteran base. The Fieldhouse has also partnered with Boise Nordic Foundation to operate the Boulder Mountain Tour Nordic Club, adding outdoor Nordic programming to its portfolio.

The business model is that of a community-anchored non-profit rather than a commercial operator. Capital expenditure (the facility build) was substantially underwritten by the J.A. & Kathryn Albertson Family Foundation; ongoing operations appear funded through a mix of grants, donations, partner-organization contributions, and programmatic fees. There are no disclosed revenue or membership economics, and the model depends on continued philanthropic support and the continued participation of Mission43, CAF-Idaho, and Summit Hyperbarics as anchor tenants.
