Joined for reformer-based classes and a schedule that worked with a full-time job. After an…read moreinstructor left, both changed significantly. Classes are now mostly during working hours, and when I booked a high-intensity "Pulse" class, I was placed into a completely different matcha/barre-style format. Not comparable to what was advertised or what I originally signed up for. The class also ended short of the full 60 minutes, which is part of what this studio promotes at a premium price point. Management's response has been to strictly enforce a 30-day cancellation policy rather than address the change in service. If you need consistency in schedule and class format, this may not be the right fit.

I went to bodyReforme last week for the first time since becoming a mom and I cannot say enough…read morepositive things about this studio!! There are plenty of class options throughout the week, which makes it easy to fit workouts into a busy schedule. The instructors are knowledgeable and encouraging to the point where I left feeling stronger, refreshed, and motivated to come back.

Within my first week of classes, I was addressed by name upon arrival. I appreciate that this is for all fitness levels and all types of people are taking class. The instructors are very knowledgeable and help you with modifications if you need them. I look forward to taking class here and upgraded my membership after only one week! Thank you, Bodybar for creating such a fun, welcoming atmosphere for all fitness levels! I look forward to class and motivated to hit milestones!

In Des Moines for just a week, and wanted to take a yoga class. The closest one to my Air B&B was…read moreDM Wellness. I lucked out! I got two introductory classes for the insanely low price of $22. I took a fitness based class (kicked my butt!) and a more traditional yoga class (challenging but still relaxing). They were both amazing. Dara is welcoming and knowledgeable. Since I was just visiting I didn't have a mat, but Dara had everything I needed. I'm bummed I'm not staying longer, I would try every class!

This place is a joke. You don't get a good workout sometimes barely sweat. If you're past the age…read moreof 50 perhaps this place is more for you. The customer service though is what led me to write this review. One of the instructors was SO rude. I was told I could level up to a 1.5 class and she constantly made comments about how I couldn't do something because I was new or I wasn't used to doing something a certain way. We all were just looking at each other and smiling because her energy was so off. They actually gave me a new class because I had complained. So I go to the new class and show up at the door at 8:01 AM and was refused to come in. I said hey it's only 8:01 and I have seen many other ladies come in 2-3 minutes after. Dani still refused to let me in. This place is the worst!!! I do not recommend. Complete waste of money.

Through this program I found my favorite yoga place/instructor as well. Each Saturday was a different instructor from a different studio, and not even necessarily all from Iowa! It's just a great experience and I hope this program goes on for years to come! It's FREE! Try it out :) It goes from the first Saturday in June to the last Saturday in September every year.

The machines and workout space is nice and accommodating to all. The reason why I put 3 stars is…read morebecause I feel like the sauna and the showers do not get maintained and cleaned enough and the manager there is very stand-off and does not care about you. I actually went to the North Ames location to sign on with the manager there, she was much more approachable and helpful, I'd recommend signing up with her and not this South Ames guy, there's just something off with this guy. And the showers would have the same dirt from a week prior, same with the sauna. I recently had to cancel my membership and he said maybe ten words in all to me and did not care about the cancellation. From my previous experiences with gyms I've never dealt with such a manager. All are usually very kind and helpful and want to know how they can improve the gym and how my experience was. Not sure I'll be back. The rest of the employees there are wonderful however!

I'm definitely switching to anytime fitness to get the most out of my membership. If your gym would stay open until midnight on the weekends I would gladly stay.
