A great gym, if you're bodybuilding, powerlifting, or just coming in for a quick cardio sweat,…read moreFitness World 24 has what you need. I came here on a short visit and got a day pass. The gym has two floors; most of the weights that I enjoyed using is on the first floor, while the second floor has more of the cardio type equipment, although there is an area where there is a cross-trainer and some light weights. They have several squat/deadlift platforms, so you know this gym is legit. Plenty of free weights, a few bench presses, and weight machines as well. I love the color theme here. It's probably not a big deal to most people, but it reminds me of the Marvel Ironman-red color, and I'm a fan. Locker rooms is located on the first floor, near the check-in, and everything appears clean and fresh. On the weight area, there are a couple of private bathrooms near the weight machines, so lift some weights, pop a squat, as needed, and then do some squats with no worry of anything popping out.

There is a young guy who is there for a couple of hours each day who is available to sign new members up and clean. A monthly membership is very reasonable- $23/month. There used to be personal trainers available. I'm not sure if there are any longer. I haven't seen one in along time. Some of the equipment needs to be fixed and it's pretty clear it won't be. For example two of the treadmills are way off with the amount of calories burned. It seems to be a computer glitch. Another treadmill is missing some of the handle bar and there are exposed wires.. Which to me seems a Ike an issue but it's been that way for a long time. It close to my house, reasonably priced, and open all the time.

My husband and I dropped in a few times as we were out of town visitors. Everyone here was super…read morefriendly. I didn't try the kickboxing classes, although I wish I would have because they sound like a phenomenal workout, but we did do CrossFit three times. One day was an open gym style in the evening but they still program a WOD you can do - or work on your own thing which is a great complement to traditional training because we all have weaknesses and this is a great time to focus on some of those things, but the programmed WOD is always a good option too. The CrossFit class we did join was great. I have an injury preventing me from doing several movements but the coach made a quick adjustment for me so I could still join and have a really good workout. The box is spacious with new high quality and clean equipment (which surprisingly you don't find everywhere) and the programming was excellent. If I lived in the Nevada area I would totally join this box. I travel a lot for work and have visited several CrossFit's across the country and this is one of the best ones I've been to, I highly recommend them.

As a disclaimer, I was a big fan of barre workouts before ever coming to this studio. That being said, this barre studio is def one of my top faves. What I like: - Staff is always super welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Very supportive to first timers and veterans alike. - Incredible workout (barre is by far my favorite way to workout). - Various class formats and class lengths to choose from. I also appreciate that they offer multiple classes at different times each day. - Uncrowded classes. Always plenty of space to stretch out, even during busy classes.

I've heard great things about their childcare and how nice it is for families. The facility is kept clean and everyone is friendly. It's not quite as fancy as some gyms, but it gets the job done and isn't too expensive. Definitely the gym to join in Ankeny.

First impression of the locker rooms were that they were very clean and had everything you needed. Two showers too! The lockers are open but there are some that you can bring your own lock to use. I took a 45 minute hot yoga class with Frankie and he was awesome! He knows everyone by name which is really nice. Really enjoyed the flow of his class and I'm sure others did as well as it was a packed house. I would 100% come back to try out other classes next time I am in Des Moines.
