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. Not only did I see my be transformed, but this process also transforms my attitude and the way I think about food. I'm ending this challenge confident I will be able to maintain and build on what I've already achieved.

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!

They…read moreare patient, friendly and super knowledgeable and will help you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

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. :)

His class was challenging but in the best way possible. I look forward to coming back. Like other locations they will rent out a mat+towel if you dont have one. It's best to bring your own.

Joined for reformer-based classes and a schedule that worked with a full-time job. After an…read moreinstructor left, both changed significantly. Classes are now mostly during working hours, and when I booked a high-intensity "Pulse" class, I was placed into a completely different matcha/barre-style format. Not comparable to what was advertised or what I originally signed up for. The class also ended short of the full 60 minutes, which is part of what this studio promotes at a premium price point. Management's response has been to strictly enforce a 30-day cancellation policy rather than address the change in service. If you need consistency in schedule and class format, this may not be the right fit.

I went to bodyReforme last week for the first time since becoming a mom and I cannot say enough…read morepositive things about this studio!! There are plenty of class options throughout the week, which makes it easy to fit workouts into a busy schedule.

They encourage you to work hard, but also take you from where you are. I also love the piece of signing up on line so it is my accountability. I always leave feeling like I got a great workout.

I have been a member at Krave Gym for about 7 or 8 years and there are so many things I love about…read moreit. Most importantly, the owners, coaches, and community. The owners started with one gym (this location) and have expanded to several more over the years, yet they remain involved in all locations. All of the coaches are great but I want to give a shout out to Anson Fisk! As luck would have it, I end up in his sessions more often than with other coaches. Anson is very enthusiastic and motivating but more importantly, he sees each person individually and works to correct form when needed. As for community, Krave partners with a local non profit each season (Special Olympics, ARL, etc.) and members are encouraged to participate in an event supporting each non-profit. There are also challenges (just completed a six-week one) and occasionally a social event. To me, Krave is much more than just a gym!

Nilsson my son really loved getting in the pool and learning a few things! They did songs, and taught them some safety things, and did some swimming and jumping in the pool all by themselves! He liked the jumping into the pool best I think! Parents are in the pool with the kids and its a really fun half hour class that always ends with some free swimming! Locker rooms are super nice by the pool and they have swimsuit dryers which I had never seen before! This cost is extra, but you can take these classes even without a membership! Good stuff!

My son had a gym membership here for a few years. He went to cancel his membership because he…read moredoesn't work in that area anymore. He canceled in December 2024 and several months still were taking money out of my account for his membership which should have been done end of year. My son canceled it 3 times on line and said membership canceled everytime. They said he never filled out the form. Can't cancel in person had to do it online. They gave me one month refund should had three according to an email. So if you are planning on joining be aware canceling isn't easy. Son liked the gym otherwise.

I get the appeal of some of that, but for me, I just need a decent place with good equipment and I'll handle the rest. In general, people are there to work out and work out hard. Decent equipment and love their music selections. Very high energy. This gym is powerlifting-friendly and has its own area for chalk. It's nice to see a place that not only allows deadlifts, but has a platform and doesn't blink at chalk-use. Also, I love the mural on one of the main walls painted by a local artist. Very nice work. If I lived in DM, I would get a membership here.
