“I was in Des Moines/urban dale for work and wanted to drop in at a CrossFit gym and they just happened to be .9 miles from my hotel… I’ve been doing CrossFit on and off for 16 years and this easily the nicest CrossFit gym I’ve ever been to. Everything in the facility felt brand new, incredibly clean, and very well maintained. The coaching was excellent, the gym itself was awesome, and every member I met was welcoming and friendly.
You can tell there’s a great community here and that a lot of care goes into the gym. I’m Looking forward to dropping in again next time I’m in town for work.”

“First time doing CrossFit and all of the coaches were extremely welcoming and knowledgeable. Even doing the main lifts at a lower weight to learn the correct form, the workout will still get you a good sweat! It is an AMAZING place to go if you are visiting from out of town or in the area!”
“I’m in my mid-50s with very little workout experience, and I came to Valley Junction about 9 months ago. I was honestly a bit nervous getting started, but my experience here has been nothing short of extraordinary.
The trainers are incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. They make sure I stay within my abilities while still encouraging me to push myself safely. They focus on proper technique to prevent injury and truly understand how to meet each person where they are—no matter their fitness level.
If you’ve never tried CrossFit and are looking for a supportive place to start, this is it. They guide you every step of the way, motivate you, and celebrate your progress. I couldn’t recommend Valley Junction more highly.
Here's to the 5 am crew!!”

“22nd Street Barbell is a solid choice in Des Moines. Plenty of space and a motivating, friendly atmosphere. Locker rooms were spotless and the classes were excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Des Moines.”
“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.”
“Both of my kids love Nick….not just the workouts, but also his sense of humor….he makes working out fun for them, while also encouraging growth and responsibility. I truly appreciate that he cares….he shows up at events….he treats them like family. Thanks Nick and staff!!”
“Walked into Flex Factory today after work to check it out as I’m new to the area. Instantly knew that this was the gym for me. Very friendly and inviting crew members and awesome atmosphere in that place!! Definitely recommend!”

“I’ve been going here for almost two months and to say I love it is an understatement. I am usually kinda terrible at trying new things and actually sticking to them, but the amazing atmosphere in this place is what’s kept me going. The classes are amazing and the coaches are truly the best. So far, I’ve only taken classes with Brandi and Adam, who are both excellent at what they do and they never fail to make the classes fun and exhausting in the best way lol.”
“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 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.”

There’s a “small-town” feel to it, as well, where people know each other and OTF staff knows you by name.

“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. I definitely recommend working with her one-on-one or taking one of her classes!”

“I love coming here to swim. I first started coming last year for physical therapy after a bad car accident.This is how i met much if the staff and life guards. 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.”
