Their equipment is up-to-date with all current trend workouts. They offer cross-fit courses here also! Now to the meat and potatoes, I only know a couple of indoor basketball courts in the metro area and this is one of them! This is honestly the only reason I come here, for the indoor basketball! I shoot-around in the mornings and with their two full size courts, at most there is someone else using a half court. You pretty much get the court to yourself and practice as much as you'd like. The owner/manager Dave is very friendly and can help you with your fitness goals. The Orange Planet also offers private basketball lessons, just ask about the details. I believe they offer various other courses too, but I don't have any experience with that.

Found a pool this Summa!!!!…read more Review during COVID19: Birdland pool is like a hidden gem for Central Des Moines this summer! Never been here before but we've been here twice now. No FRILLS pool. They have 1 slide and 3 diving boards. A wading pool that goes 2.5'; very large size too. The pool is clean water and the environment is clean. The price is great too! $2.00 for kids; $4.00 for adult. Free for 3 and under. People around us do not wear masks. There are different ethnic families that live near and visit this pool. They play very loud music. A different variety but I think they play most recent rap and hip hop the most. Staff here is great! They also have two local officers inside the pool to keep things safe. The pool is located by North High school so that's probably why they have officers; it's a little rough neighborhood. The two times we visited we have watched the pool capacity website before arriving. This pool stays under the capacity limit every day and have found it to be very compliant to COVID social distancing regulations. The staff wipe surfaces every hour. At the end of the swim session they are cleaning everything immediately. They also wear masks when they are around people. There's a snack bar open but we've never visited. The water slide is the highlight of the visit for the kids. Young jumpers must go through a swim test before allowed on the diving boards. I recommend visiting this pool this summer. I'm not too sure during any other year as they may be a lot more full but I've enjoyed our visits so far. We will be returning more this summer as we feel safe coming here and seeing how the staff and the people around us are abiding to social distancing rules.

She went in September (she is a teacher so only certain times work in the school months as opposed to the summer months when was told they were opening). She went for her couple of free weeks in September and decided to cancel. She wa sthen told it was two weeks from opening not two weeks when she first went so we found out they charged her another month on our credit card on September 23rd. She tried to get it removed on September 28th and they said she needs to give a 30 day notice. She signed a form that said the date then is October 23rd. Lo and behold we are charged again on the 23rd of October for the next month!! My wife had texted the owner Joe back on October 19th to verify her membership is over and we won't be charged again. No response. Yesterday she texted him again and asked why he didn't respond to the earlier text and his response was "it looks like your message from 10/19 was missed". Sure it was. Be careful signing up with the gym and read the fine print carefully. My wife's "two week free membership" has turned into $258 and three month membership. No shame in what they screw people out of.
