I'll try to keep this short. I had a bad experience where I wasn't given any onboarding, my first…read moreclass was frustrating and embarrassing and I was treated like I was in the way. I spoke to Hallie the owner the next day, to her credit she was very apologetic and gave me space to tell her what happened. I had slipped through the cracks and she was sincerely sorry. I declined the offer for a real onboarding class, I wished her luck and we hung up. I was happy to quietly leave it be, no online reviews. Until that same evening--6 hours after I hung up--I received a generic recruitment call from Orangetheory Clive asking if I wanted to set up my free first class. I'm livid. This location is a clown show. I don't know what the hell is going on with them but someone needs to get their [stuff] together. I do not recommend Orangetheory Clive.

CF Waukee is a place for both your physical and mental well-being. Challenging workouts and a…read morefamily mentality combine to create a welcoming, fun atmosphere. The programming and coaching at Waukee is top-notch. Coaches take time to get to know the members and coach them on proper technique and member's goals. The programming is constantly varied, challenging, and can always be scaled to an individual's fitness level. The community at Waukee is what sets this box apart from others. I've visited several boxes, and while I have enjoyed every single community, this one is a group of real people who Crossfit. Every member is friendly, welcoming of new faces, and genuinely wants to get to know and help others. I used to be intimidated by partner WODs (workout of the day in CF speak), because I'm not the best athlete, and there hasn't been a single time at Waukee that I haven't been asked to be someone's partner almost immediately. I also have visited all of the various class times, and have felt welcome in each class. Speaking of class times, this box offers a variety of class options throughout the day, leaving lots of options and no excuse for not making it to a workout. Membership rates are very reasonable [for Crossfit]. Crossfit Waukee is associated with Crossfit Des Moines and Crossfit North Ankeny and also offers Acceleration Iowa for youth sports training. Stop in some time for a WOD and stay for the conversation with the other members. We are excited to see you. :)

New experience!!!! Called today to find out class times and how to get started. Everyone I spoke…read morewith was informative, kind and made me feel comfortable to try a new work out experience. Staff made recommendations for my first workout. Staff assisted me in renting the yoga mat and towel. Picked yoga for the first work out. Others working out were very encouraging in the common areas. Loved it was a private workout and you could sweat in a private area. There is also an area with weights and bands for a workout without the heat. Spinning and rowing are also available to use in the saunas. Team reviewed the safety features for members who work out when they are not there. Also reviewed program and fees as well as the specials they were running. Couple of notes of areas of opportunity: -hard to watch the instructor while in poses. Difficult when you are new to the moves. With experience and time would get a lot easier -website doesn't describe well that it is 24/7 when you are a member. This was great to learn once I arrived that it has very flexible times to attend. Looking for a new way to step up your workout, this would be a perfect switch to. Overall great experience and a sweaty and energizing workout. Absolutely recommend.

What a great quick workout. We were greater right away by the friendly staff. They were…read moreveryknoledable about the studio. It is open 24 hours a day so no excuses for not getting your workout in. The staff explained the infrared suana would help with recovery. The workouts are streamed into the sauna so no live instructors. There is an area to do a little workout or stretch on your own. You do need their special Matt's for the saunas. If you forget yours you can rent one through the vending machine for the day.

This is a 24 hour gym so it's pretty basic. I like that it's not packed beyond belief and I can…read morealways get a treadmill. 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.
