Terra Smout

Founder

Terra and Dustin started Kova Strength in their garage in 2020. Terra is a Boise State kinesiology grad and former District 91 PE teacher; Dustin is Idaho Falls-born and raised.

What began as a small idea-real, coach-led training that makes sense-grew into a women-only gym the whole family pours into. Today, Kova is where women come to actually reach their goals-whether that’s a full transformation, getting stronger, feeling better day-to-day, or staying active for the long haul.

Every session is coach-led, personal, and supportive. As a locally owned, family-operated gym, they’re proud to serve Idaho Falls and honored to be part of each member’s story.

Private Strength Sanctuary

Kova Strength is more than a gym-it’s a private, women-only space built on support, accountability, and community.

With semi-private coaching, group classes, and Better with Age training, Kova offers an intimate, results-driven experience where women feel known, encouraged, and empowered-something you won’t find anywhere else in Idaho Falls.
