Great place to train! Came here after switching from a commercial gym, and I can definitely say the atmosphere is very different! You're training with like-minded people and common goals of strength, and if that's not enough, you get to watch some very strong individuals lift some ungodly weights like its nothing. Not only that, its 24/7 access so I don't need to worry about not being able to make it into the gym late at at night after work! And the staff are very friendly ?I'm happy I came to this place ?Need a place full of strong people? Come to the Athletic club. Want to find new friends and/or that motivation that you need to get out of bed? Come to the Athletic club!

Hands down my favorite gym in Ames.I personally prefer the tight knit atmosphere that this gym provides. Everyone at this gym is incredibly friendly, and the staff here do a fantastic job at maintaining a clean and organized environment for all of the gym-goers at the Athletic Club. It has just about everything you need (free weights, cardio equipment, dumbbells, a powerlifting rack, a punching bag, turf for agility and stretching, cable machines and more), and the management are keen on listening to their clientele on additional equipment preferences and ways to improve customer satisfaction.Not to mention the gym community here is one of a kind; even if you don’t personally know anyone at the gym, just about everyone is ready and willing to lend a hand, whether it’s racking weights, providing a spot, or just being there for moral support. The atmosphere here is always upbeat and engaging.Definitely an environment that welcomes both beginners to the fitness world, and those who are more advanced in their training.

I’ve never lifted at a gym with this kind of family atmosphere. Everyone seems to know everyone here. Everyone is super supportive and it’s nice to train next to some strong people. The gym is equipped with a great powerlifting setup as well.

If you're a power lifter, this gym is great for you! I'm more casual about going to the gym, so this place ended up not working out for me. However, most of the staff and the owner are very friendly, and I enjoyed having Cayden as my trainer. The 24-hour access is a nice feature along with the chocolate milk. I did notice a lot of the gym-goers do not wipe down their equipment, which I'm guessing is why the employees put signs everywhere about it. So you might want to wipe down your seat before settling in for a superset. In summary, I had a good experience here, and if I had a friend who was a power lifter, I would refer them to this gym.

The owner and staff here were awesome! We were in town for a short period of time while our kids competed in the 2023 Track & Field Junior Olympic Games in Des Moines and they opened the doors up to offer both strength/agility type training and pre-competition preparation. We thank you so much for the time and training tips!! If we are back in town we will be sure to stop by. :)

I love this gym! It’s actually designed for people who like to lift - there’s more squat racks than treadmills. The culture here is great, and it’s so refreshing to get to work out in an environment like this.
