This is the cleanest, most well organized gym I’ve had the pleasure of working out in. The owner is extremely hospitable and the overall atmosphere is so positive and individualistically goal oriented; would highly recommend to anyone who prioritizes his or her health and fitness.

I've been a member for almost two years. This gym is great, and you can tell that there is a lot of pride and hard work that goes in to making it that way. Everything is clean and well stocked, all of the equipment works, and the community is friendly and respectful. Someone is always there to greet you during staffed hours and you can tell the staff cares about its membership.I recently started personal training with Jeremy, and I've been very impressed. Jeremy is pushing me to my limits while also being receptive to feedback about my goals and expectations before, during, and after our sessions. I feel like with his help, I am able to maximize the time I have available to work out. The entire experience has been very professional.

While well priced monthly subscription and most goers leave you alone the personal training wasn't great...especially for beginners. He doesn't respect your time and will often talk to other gym goers (hard to believe he has friends) in your scheduled training time at your cost. Offers little to no information about what you're doing, proper technique, and why and always gossips (like a woman) about the people that walk by the gym...often speaking very judgmentally and negatively about them as if he doesn't have flaws. Lack of professionalism and the pushiness for money really drag this score down several stars. He doesn't care about his clients he only cares about himself. And when life hits he has no understanding. I'm overall disappointed.

Limited time working out there but very clean. If you can get past a member of the staff sending your significant other unsolicited filthy pics of his wife you'll be fine. Plus you can get the greatest gear from Jeremy. Small gym without a patriotic feel but can get the job done. Especially with the "supplements" you can score in the back.

Great staff who make you feel at home. Amazing for 24-hour access. I feel totally comfortable there as a female at any hour of the day even when unstaffed.

5th Street Fitness is the absolute best gym in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area, hard stop, no question about it. I have been working out for decades and there is no other atmosphere like it. It truly is the most effective, accommodating and comfortable gym I have ever worked out at. There is not one aspect of this gym that isn't perfect. To start with, Jeremy (the owner) is one of the nicest people I have ever met. When I started there he was not interested in "selling" anything because his main concern is to understand what your goals are in order to create an environment that is perfect for everyone and anyone on the journey reach their individual fitness goals. I have seen Jeremy spend hours with people helping them, coaching them and making sure they were comfortable and making progress no matter what their goals were. You will not find any ego's in this gym and the support and positive attitude is consistently visible throughout the gym at all times and at all fitness levels. The equipment can't be beat, the facilities can't be beat. Everything is so well taken care of that it looks brand new. There is not one doubt in my mind that Jeremy and 5th Street Fitness will provide you with the absolute best environment to help you reach your fitness goals.

I’ve been going to fifth street since August 2022 and only stopped because I moved. Best gym I’ve been to. Staff are incredible—they almost always greet you and say goodbye—and the gym is always spotless. Each person gets their own spray bottle and towel which is appreciated. Don’t let the fact that it’s a small gym scare you away—I always went at 5:00pm when everyone is getting off work and rarely had to wait to use equipment. There are a few signs posted throughout the gym but honestly they are rules you should be following anyway and are completely reasonable (cleaning equipment after use, no slamming weights super early/late as courtesy to residents above, not getting fingerprints on mirrors, not letting in people when there are no staff present, etc.). Members were also excellent to be around. Highly recommend if you are considering joining.
