“I absolutely love this gym. Both the space and the people are awesome. I've been taking personal training sessions with Tyler to help me prepare for the Tactical Games and he has been amazing to work with. The research alone that he did into the competition to help me properly prepare for it blew my mind. Cannot recommend this place enough!”
“Convenient location with a hard to beat month-to-month membership. Can get pretty crowded during peak times, which is the only negative. Facility also kept pretty clean, and staff is great.”
“Dropped in for a week while in town. Great coaching staff and extremely welcoming members. Was easy to forget I was stranger! If I lived in Iowa, I would 100% commit to this gym.”
“Highly recommend CrossFit Valley Junction to anyone looking for a fun supportive environment that challenges you physically! I have done CrossFit off and on for a few years now. I recently switched back from a stint of powerlifting and CFVJ is such a supportive and fun community. The workouts are challenging, the coaches are knowledgeable and caring, and the members are fun and supportive! I cannot recommend a better place to continue your health journey!”

“Really happy with my visit to Orangetheory Fitness. Great facilities and the staff were genuinely helpful. Plenty of space and a motivating, friendly atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Ankeny.”
“My hubby and I were in town for the week and wanted to get a work out in. Trey helped us when we dropped in — he was very helpful and friendly. I ended up taking their strength training class and my hubby did his own workout.
The workout was awesome! Great atmosphere, challenging, and Alec and Trey were encouraging and did a nice job running the workout. Got a good sweat on! Would definitely come back next time we’re in town.”
“At d1 i have gained about 30 pounds in 6 months training with Kolton. It is a great environment with other athletes training to be the best version of themselves. Every day is something new that is always gonna make you better.”
“I started this challenge by myself again but knew a bit more of what to expect. I believe the program works if you follow the plan. The trainers care and make workouts fun and mix it up so never boring. They work with you to modify exercises if need be and this branch is very friendly. I asked a lot of questions Kyle was good at answering them.
I would recommend they do a package deal for Gluten Free people on supplements as they did the regular supplements or a discount on the GF products. This part got expensive for me one of the unexpected things. A list of available Certified Gluten Free products to use as supplements that are approved even if you don't carry it in your store would be helpful. Also a price list by the products or on the counter in a plastic sleeve as reference for us. I think a manual receipt or printed receipt if customer request it really be available for us. A cheat sheet to figure out how to get on the computer to track your weight on Monday would be helpful post next to the computer.
This challenge was so much harder due to some medical things and at 3 weeks I threw out my hip so leg and cardio days were replaced with core strengthening and arm exercises but 2 times a day then I went to do water aerobics to help my rheumatoid arthritis and sore hip and enjoyed the hot tub briefly Mon.-Sat.
Finding the time was hard with homeschooling 5 kids 3 with special needs (from mild to severe). The twins and another. God has blessed my family greatly.
I lost between both challenges 39.6 lbs.
I really enjoyed this experience and had fun doing it. I learned so very much from this about me and how food plays a big part in one wanting to loose weight.”

“I had a great experience at Eat The Frog Fitness - Ankeny. Plenty of space and a motivating, friendly atmosphere. Great facilities and the staff were genuinely helpful. I'll be recommending this spot to everyone I know.”
“Being able to get the day/week passes or memberships online make it easy to go anytime. Just have to download the app required.
The guy at the front desk was extremely nice and knew a lot about the company which was nice. Wasn’t just trying to push a membership across.
The equipment and areas were very cleaned and maintained.
Been twice and wasn’t overcrowded or waiting on machines at all.
Overall great experiences and bought the FF backpack they have.”
“I did the 6 week 20 pound challenge and I could not be more happy with the outcome. RJ and Hannah are awesome instructors! They keep the energy high and motivate you to become a better you! They are very detailed with the instructions on the daily workouts and are always there to help improve your form. They also provided a diet plan that if you follow I can guarantee you you’ll lose the 20 pounds! Not only did I lose more than the 20 pounds I dropped just under 8% body fat while retaining all my muscle mass! In 6 weeks! I will continue to workout at elite edge to push myself to lose another 10-15 pounds. This has been a great experience for me! Shout out to RJ and Hannah again you guys are doing great!”

“The gym itself has just about whatever you could want to increase or maintain your physical fitness with 24 hour access included with membership, with access to multiple personal trainers if needed, a budding recovery area, and many apparatus specifically for strong man training.
However, what differentiates this gym from all others is the owner Jeremy. He has manifested a gym experience out of his own personal fitness passion and focus on strength training.
He is at the gym every weekday (and can likely throughout the weekend) where he can be found greeting people by name, helping those that need it, socializing with those who are interested, and making genuine connections.
He offers personal training at different levels of engagement from providing personalized workouts to be completed on your own, group workouts, one on one sessions, and nutritional guidance.
What makes Jeremy standout as a personal trainer is his vast and deep understanding of the muscular framework. This expertise shines as he provides sound advice for both movement adjustments as well as mental focus techniques to help target appropriate muscles and reduce reliance on tertiary ones.”
“It took me 3 weeks to finally make it to my free lesson, but I'm damn glad I did. The experience was exactly what I was hoping for. Kelly lured me in and Justin killed it with the workout. Get ready for a legitimate full-body workout. Highly recommend this place ?”

“Hailey’s the best! She’s careful to adjust varied workouts around any sore or limited motion I experience with certain areas of my body. She’s a good listener, qualified, reliable, and empathetic.”
“I’ve been a member of this gym since October and it has been a great experience. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and the trainers are positive and encouraging. There’s a “small-town” feel to it, as well, where people know each other and OTF staff knows you by name. This gym has helped me get my spark and love for movement back and I’m very thankful for them.”

“I needed a boost to get me back in shape and knew I could count on Elite Edge to get that done. I love the early morning, workouts, and knowing what type of workout I would do each day. Mondays are for legs. Wednesdays are for arms, Fridays are full body and the rest of the days or cardio. I love how they have a list of things you can eat, no gray areas. And I love the switch up of things that we do, no one day is ever the same and the coaches are amazing. They know that I need the push and that is what they do. Cardio and strength are great things!! I recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about working out and getting back in shape.”

She really knows how to customize workouts to help you reach your goals and focus on any areas you want to improve. Plus, she’s great at explaining form and technique.

They are all super friendly, knowledgeable, easy to talk to if i have questions and often just simply ask about your day. The pool and locker rooms are always clean and i never worry about the showers or changing areas as they seem to always be well maintained. Im extremely thankful for the option of the pools. It's nice to have a place to go and work out and do physical therapy where i feel safe and comfortable.”
