I recently attended a class here for the first time through a yelp event. I came into this with no…read moreidea as to what to expect from them. I have done CrossFit for over two years and before that worked out at one of the bigger gyms in North liberty, regularly attending their group fitness classes. I say that to level set my experience. I guess I was expecting more of the pseudo high intensity classes that are offered at the bigger gym. You know what I am talking about. The type of class where more attention is paid to the activewear that someone is wearing as opposed to the actual workout intensity that they are putting forth. Let me tell you. The work out at versa was intense! I can honestly say that it was one of the more high intensity workouts that I have done in a long time. While it did not focus on the weightlifting aspect that I was used to from CrossFit, I found the cardio portion just as intense. Before the work out began I felt there was an adequate amount of time dedicated to stretching and warming up. While the workout was going the instructors were supportive and helpful in their coaching. While I am not a member I would not hesitate to recommend this location to anyone looking for a high-intensity workout.

I had run on (almost) the daily on my treadmill. But man... something was missing. Enter Versa Fitness. Let me rewind a minute. Yelp had an event with them a couple months ago and I have NEVER been so sore after a workout. But I had also never felt so ACCOMPLISHED. I am a sucker for a runners high -- stress melting away with elation and a decreased ability to feel pain due to the endorphins released after countless miles. But, with Versa. I'll take all the pain for the gain. (Cause trust me... there will be some pain.) After the Yelp event, I wanted to join right then and there. No joke. But with a little still at home and constantly being a mom taxi... plus the gym being ALLLLLL the way across town from me... it's just not in the cards. Yet. Anyways. Imagine my excitement when I saw Versa was offering twice a day classes online during this hot mess? AND that they were free?! Nick, Josh and Ashley are amazing to workout with. So much passion and knowledge. (And did I mention heart? The gym literally loaned almost all of their equipment out to members when this COVID-19 businesses shut them down.) Last night I enjoyed a wonderful kettlebell class with Ashley. We did three sets of four exercises -- four times. What an amazing way to destress as you quarantine! They even have body weight only options for exercises... so no equipment necessary. Thanks, Versa Fitness!

Never too crowded, and a dry sauna too (my personal favorite after a workout). This place generally made me feel so comfortable (as a women) working out.

The road way and parking lot are well taken care of but I do wish the was more landscaping done outside. I like seeing wildness after I am done working out not hotels and highways. Like I say, good bones but needs some improvements. I have recommended the North Dodge Club to a lot of my colleagues and family.

The price, at least for a day pass, was definitely worth the stop. Plenty of classes offered... massage therapy offered, and great staff overall. If I ever find myself doing another cross-country trip again, I'll probably stop by here again. If you're local however, goodness... just check out the place if you haven't already!

The room..not large..was arranged in a circle with timed stations..that you do a certain excercise for one or two minutes and move to next station. You could walk the outside perimeter of this small circle...probably have to go around circle 20 times to do half a mile. Wasn't impressed with Curves. Plus they aren't open 24/7. You have to be on their schedule to exercise..which I didn't like at all. The staff were friendly and helpful..but not the type gym or excercise place I am looking for.

Before Serenity I had a reoccurring pattern of exercising and getting hurt then being off exercise to recover only to start the cycle again. Marcie understands the human body but more importantly she understands MY human body. She can individualize my workouts based on how I feel each session and she has accurately described my needs to all the staff. I am reassured everyone in the studio is aware of my body's needs. I also do classes at the studio. Mat pilates with Mary has proved to be very effective for core strength. Gentle yoga with John is a very calm wind down from a busy day and a great "date night" activity for couples. I recommend this studio to all of my friends that want to avoid unnecessary injuries, develop strength. In addition to workouts that strengthen and protect each client there is a sense of community and belonging every time I enter the studio.
