The Genesis Mills facility has many options for your workout including group classes, free weights,…read moremachines, a pool, basketball court and plenty of stair masters, etc., in addition to a running track. The negatives is that the building is getting up there in age and it shows. Lights need to be cleaned, areas painted and the general paint colors are outdated. But is there any reason that lights in the court are out in addition to the stair master area and held the tv's work. The big positive is that staff is very friendly and professional. So as a prospective looking for an all around health club give it a look and check out Lifetime but do it during the busy hours after 4pm to get a real feel.

After 6 weeks I am down 23 pounds and three pant sizes. The trainers at the South Des Moines location are amazing! Jesse and Fernando are knowledgable, encouraging and so supportive! I really appreciated how they pushed me to set and achieve new personal best goals. I also really appreciated the support and accountability from other Challengers and gym members. This was such a great experience for me and I'm looking forward to continuing on the journey the great team at Elite Edge helped me get started on.

It never dawned on me how much my endurance would increase in such a small amount of time. Going into the challenge, I was nervous because I knew it was going to be tough both mentally and physically. However, it's an amazing feeling knowing that I was able to push through the entire challenge, FTDI and receive desired results. Though my determination and dedication was much needed, I also had a great support system to back me up every step of the way. I'd definitely recommend the 6-week challenge through Elite Edge to anyone who is serious about making a real lifestyle change to improve their health and physique!

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.

The combination of rowing and strength training is perfect. When I started my first 50-day challenge, I was dealing with knee pain. Jen and the team were amazing in supporting me through it, encouraging me to keep doing the work but modifying or resting when needed. Now, four months later, I have zero pain in my knee! Jen, the owner, and all the coaches are incredibly supportive while also pushing me to work hard and stay focused on my goals. I'm currently in the middle of my second challenge, and the accountability and weekly check-ins have been invaluable in keeping me on track. I'm so happy with the progress I've made--now it's time to shop for new summer clothes! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get stronger, healthier, and feel amazing!
