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 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.

Unfortunately my workout was incomplete because I could not locate a back or abdominal machine; these are part of every one of my weight routines. That cost a couple of stars in the rating because the lack of these machines would cause me not to join if this was the only location I could visit. The showers and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. Overall, I felt this was a solid four star location but the lack of two pieces of equipment necessitated the three star review (which I feel is generous).

Eventually, mall security approached me with concerns. After a constructive conversation, I was told I could relocate the bike inside the gym, and I received explicit permission from gym staff to do so. However, on my next visit, I was publicly harassed by two patrons -- one shouted insults at me, and the other threatened to physically remove my bike. This all happened in front of staff, who did nothing to step in or address the behavior. Instead, they told me to remove my bike from the premises. I chose to cancel my membership -- not out of anger, but because I no longer felt welcome or safe in that environment. I also reached out to mall management, but received no response. Disappointed in how a situation involving clear communication and staff permission was mishandled, and how quickly it shifted into an uncomfortable and hostile experience.
