Fantastic customer service, nice equipment and a clean space. I unfortunately had to cancel my membership due to time, location, and money issues emerging with a new job, and the team was super gracious. I was directed exactly to where I needed to go to get the cancellation completed, nobody tried to sell me on more time with the membership or offer me any deals or anything like that, and everyone I spoke with was incredibly gracious. If you dislike getting memberships out of fear that somebody will act angrily with you when you try to cancel, don't worry about that here! Thanks for your excellent service AF Des Moines! read more

This is a friendly gym with a good variety of equipment, and lots of regulars. It's not too crowded, the ventilation works well, and the location has lots of parking. I drive past a few other gyms that are much closer to my house to go to this gym, based on local recommendations I received. I really like the vibe of the people that go to this gym, and especially how there are lots of young people that go to the gym together. Haha, I know when was their age, I definitely was not at the gym! I feel very motivated by everyone I see at the gym. Thank you! read more

Great gym. One of my favorite. Inclusive, covid protocols and friendly staff. The gym is open 24/7/365 not sure why it says it's closed (might be staffing hours). You can access the gym anytime via key fob. Kudos to Briana (manager). read more

I wish I started a diary to review all the Anytime Fitnesses I've visited so I could paste them together on a dream board and create my one perfect gym. Had I done that, I could stop here as this is the cherry on top. (Yes my gym vision board is in the shape of an ice cream sundae) Please note I'm posting this in 2020 and so things are weird, I'm paying more attention to things I wouldn't typically note. A place to deadlift next to a cozy garage door... I can only imagine the door open on a perfect Seattle summer day, but atlas it's winter and I was just thankful the sun was shining so I could soak up some vitamin D between sets. It's not common to find an AF with a deadlifting platform. Perks are that platforms make you instantly 10% stronger on all your pulls for some reason. It's bro science I think. I have a larger than your average water bottle (64 oz) and the water bottle filler fills it up without timing out or stopping. This made me ridiculously happy as usually I'm awkwardly wiggling around my bottle trying to get the water to start again, making a mess, etc etc. IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS. The whole time I was there the staff was cleaning which was very nice to see they are taking all the precautions! Not to mention this is def the largest AF I've ever been to which made social distancing a snap. On the way out the gal in the office bid me farewell and used my name which was a super sweet touch as it's not my most frequented AF at the moment. Really felt welcomed and apart of the community. 10 outa 10 highly recommend. read more

Really love coming here! It's so nice that it's open 24 hours and that you use a key fob to come in. It feels very safe, there are fobs to get in and rules about not holding the doors for others so people without a fob aren't coming in. It's always very clean and the managers and other people that come here seem to be friendly and a community environment. People of all ages come here which is cool! It's never too crowded either, with lots of equipment which is a big plus. read more

Good place to work out. Certain employees can be rude to you if your home gym is not here. They'll limit your access here.

Pros: Gym is conveniently open all the time. The equipment is varied and in good condition. Cons: No real classes (exception is twice weekly yoga). (They have a periodic extra cost group workout, but it lacks the attendance, fun, and camaraderie of a traditional class). The gym seems to be designed for introverts, I miss the fun of group exercise classes at my old gym! The temperature is kept uncomfortably warm (70 degrees), especially for folks who are overweight, pre-menopausal, or spend much time on cardio machines. I usually wind up cutting my gym time short as I become overheated. The older HVAC system blows hot air on the cardio equipment when folks open the back door to try and cool things off. (Seems like a huge cost to their utility bills too!). Unfortunately, no one is able to adjust thermostat. The International Fitness Association gym temperature standards are 65-68 degrees. Wish they'd provide more fans or adjust thermostat! read more

I had found this gym on the anytime fitness app as I have family who reside in Des Moines, and this was a perfect place to workout while visiting. The Owner was very friendly and keeps her gym well maintained. I spoke to her momentarily and complimented her for the very clean and nice facility. I will definitely recommend her gym to my family and friends. Thanks for the wonderful experience Hannah, keep up the good work. read more

This is one of the best Anytime Fitness I have been to and I have been to a few in different states. The space is big and very clean. The equipment is top notch and some of the best I have seen at an Anytime Fitness. I talked to the owner and told her I was impressed with the amount and quality of equipment there. I am looking forward to working out there when the gym reopens. read more

This is the worst gym ever!! The staff here will tell you that you can pay extra to be on a month to month with no strings attached and then when you cancel will continue to charge you and the send you to collections. Do not go here, the lady owns her own gym and is struggling to keep the gym up keep (understandable during COVID). But what they will do is keep charging you even after you have finished with your month to month deal. They have now sent me to collections with NO CONTRACT. Please be aware the push-ups and pull-ups and resistance bands at home are better than the headache. read more
