There are a plethora of gyms across the Des Moines Metro where paying members can stay fit. Yet,…read moreonly a few keep their equipment tooled, clean and have the appropriate handi wipes in strategic user friendly places. Although this gym is part of a big nationwide franchise, you would never know it -- one would think it was a private club-- because of the pride, team spirit and attention displayed to interior as you enter the door. The facility has an overall cleanliness with members that exude a genuine neighbor friendly outlook. The total environment is safe, parking is adequate with a personal trainer's team that is highly skilled and visible.

My friend is a refugee from Afghanistan and he misunderstood and thought it would cost $25 a month…read morenot every 2 weeks. He can't afford $50 a month. Despite the language difficulty Anytime Fitness would not let him out of his contract. Absolutely Deplorable!!! Was told by the owner that Anytime Fitness did everything by the book. I don't disagree with that. That's the problem. Horrible, horrible business decision from heartless people. Would never do business with this Anytime Fitness. Spoke with a manager from another Anytime Fitness and she couldn't believe how poorly this was handled.

It never dawned on me how much my endurance would increase in such a small amount of time. Going into the challenge, I was nervous because I knew it was going to be tough both mentally and physically. However, it's an amazing feeling knowing that I was able to push through the entire challenge, FTDI and receive desired results. Though my determination and dedication was much needed, I also had a great support system to back me up every step of the way. I'd definitely recommend the 6-week challenge through Elite Edge to anyone who is serious about making a real lifestyle change to improve their health and physique!

I was attracted to this gym for their UPBEAT multicultural & FUN environment, however, for the last…read moreseveral months all that it's play is hard rock that lacks rhythm that assist in motivation, decrease perceived effort and fun. Studies have showed that Music is a key to motivational factor to exercise intensity. Crunch Fitness is a science-based fitness industry with a progressive, multicultural philosophy. Though, customers can use their headphones to listen at their music the gym environment needs to meet their multicultural FUN philosophy and stop altering it to a home garage gym. The gym safety and cleanliness have, also, deteriorated. The locker rooms and bathrooms are extremely felty to the point that its scary to step in these rooms, thinking of the increased bacteria, which puts health at risk, not in a state of wellness. Key, balance equipment has come missing and several machines are not properly functioning, decreasing the variety of mode exercise one can do for fitness improvement. The improper function of exercise machines increases risk for injury. When staff is presented with these and other concerns, staff does not provide awareness and/or a resolution to these issues.

I can't say enough about this gym!…read more LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! It is a great place to go for all shapes and sizes, all ages, all skill levels. Classes ranging from 5:05am to 5:30pm so it's hard to have an excuse not to go. Classes are anything from Strength, Cardio, HIIT, Yoga, Pilates, TRX, Kickboxing and more! Open Monday through Saturday. It's a small group fitness setting and everyone supports each other it can start to feel like our little "FIT" family. There are also a wide variety of instructors so you don't always get the same person each time. The owner keeps me accountable and checks in to see how I'm doing or why I haven't been to class in awhile. She's all about the journey and keeping you on your toes about your goals. Since working out at FIT for about a year I finally reached my weight loss goal that I've had for 5+ years. Unfortunately, Christmas got the best of me and I gained a little back but I'm back in the saddle and doing one of there challenges. The challenges are great because she sets you up with a grocery list and daily meals so it takes the hassle out of the,"what are we going to eat tonight..." deal that we all can struggle with. I've lost so many inches, my mood has improved and I just feel all around better than I did before I started working out at FIT!

We put on something comfortable before heading there, and were greeted by the owner upon entering the space. The owner was very nice, knowledgeable, and fun! The space is really cool. They have a variety of poles, some stationary and some spinning. They have a lot of other equipment as well, so you can tell that they teach a variety of fitness and dance classes there. The owner was there with two other trainers, and they showed us a few moves on the poles while we enjoyed the happy hour social before the workshop started. The workshop itself was very fun! It's a GREAT workout, you feel good about your body, and everyone is extremely body positive and fun to be around. Someone even won a $25 gift card for having the sexiest outfit. It was very fun and my friend and I talked about coming back to try some of their other classes in the future.
