gym is pretty decrepid, unmaintained, and fairly gross/unclean. Equipment (4/5 in "effort" but 2/5 in reality): While they have a decent variety equipment, the vast majority of all the equipment is partially malfunctioning or broken (list provided below). - Nearly every incline-adjustable bench is slanted to a side and are cheap versions and are unable to support heavier weights safely. - 2 sets of cables, none of the cables have equal resistance and are rickety. - strength ewuipment like belt squat are cheap versions that do not have the proper motion. - nearly all padding is tore up and the preacher bench has such old padding it feels gross to touch - awful rubber dumbells mixed with badly maintained iron dumbells - majority of plate loaded equipment is has alot of rust and not maintained - cardio equipment is decent though. Layout and Space (2/5) The layout appears to be an attempt to be a fun and different gym with each room (place used to be a racketball court), but it fails as it feels cheaply and lazily done. How the equipment is spread out makes super-setting very difficult. A scavenger hunt is needed to find plates, cable attachments, and clips. Floors are really gross and appear to rarely be cleaned, while there is what seems like a forever broken hottub in the locker room the owners seem to not care to replace or remove to spruce up the feel from decrepid to decent. 1 male bathroom has a gerry-rigged stall and 1 urinal, but gross and there is never soap or paper towels. Atmosphere (1/5): The gym doesn't foster any Atmosphere. If you go hard and push yourself, you will get shunned and many patrons are there simply to get a "feel-good" workout as there is not intensity or focus. The issues with the equipment and layout make it difficult to push yourself here. The atmosphere is also abit gross with the clientele that go. Hours: 24/7 with a phone operated entry is a positive. For any serious or semi-serious fitness or weightlifter, it's not the go-to gym. Hours and location are convenient but that is about it. read more

I've been going to the YMCA in Moline my entire life until COVID. Seeking out an available gym, ultimate was the first to pop up online and the first day I went I never looked back. Incredible group of people that run the 2 locations (downtown RI, Utica Ridge Bettendorf) Who are very friendly and eager to help you or make a delicious smoothie from their smoothie bar for you. Both facilities have everything you could want for an excellent workout and are cleaned very frequently and efficiently. All of this for a beyond reasonable price has made me never look back. Definitely recommend checking them out! read more

I've never seen pictures so staged. This place looks nothing like the photos. It was more like an old nasty dungeon that the state of the art fitness center it looks like in these photos. They did have some old classic weights so if you're into a chalky, rusty, old school gym, this might be the place. Guest fee for a visitor was cheap and even cheaper if you're staying in the neighboring hotels. It wasn't very busy and they have a super cold water fountain! But the cardio equipment is old and clunky and not bolted down. Hot sauna was very hot. Many of the stuff is hand built. I love how they have signs advertising their new deadlift platform (which is actually made with supplies picked up from the local hardware store and surrounding a 30 year old squat rack) Overall I would go back because of the value but someone had to knock them down a couple stars. read more

Just started going bach. Everything is good with a new look.

I have been to many gyms around the QC and Waterloo area over the years and ultimate is by far my favorite. The diverse rooms cover and type of workouts that people would do from olympic style lifts to studio style room for classes. Having separate rooms makes it never feel busy. If you want to use new weights that have never been touched then this probably isn't the gym for you. However, if you like working hard with a variety of equipment and dumbbells around people who are trying to do the same then you will love it. read more

UF is a local family owned business with two locations in the QC. The staff and members are like family and people join and stay. The rates are extremely reasonable at around $20 a month. Great smoothie bar and Tanning beds are available too. The Bettendorf location is sectioned off by rooms including a women's only room, circuit training, a few cardio rooms, group class room, and some rooms just for the SERIOUS body builders (they do allow LUNKS here!) YES!! If you're a beginner they also offer Activtrax where you get a program printed out for you to keep you on track without the guesswork. Personal trainers are also available for initial training and for reasonable rates if you need one-on-one personal guidance. This really does have something for everyone and at every fitness level. read more

Love this gym, has literally everything you need. Could it use some updates? Sure, but who cares that's not why I go to the gym. Great price, great services. My only complaint is they don't open earlier on the weekend. read more

The Kids World is a great value. They watch the kids for two hours at a buck per kid. I've been a member since 2011. We joined because of its unique design (it was a former racquetball club, so there are several small rooms instead of one large one), and because of the child care. It is really nice to be able to come with my three-year-old daughter on days she doesn't have preschool. the Kids World gets pretty packed on days off of school though, and when they let bigger kids in there, it doesn't seem as safe. There are six treadmills with TV screens. I don't think there has ever been a time when all six of them worked. It seems like there is always at least one that can't change channels, or the treadmill is slipping, or the picture goes in and out. The men's locker room has new hard floors - a huge improvement over the old dingy carpet. It's a good gym. I like the instructors. I like the people. I've been going for 2 1/2 years, and have lost 70 pounds. Could it be improved? Absolutely, but most of my issues are pretty minor. read more

I would never recommend this gym ever, you sign up for a membership and they make you do auto pay, the charge you a fee every so often to do auto pay on top of your monthly membership fee, when you go to cancel your membership you have to give them a 30 notice, can we say RIP OFF read more

They play the WORST MUSIC at MAX VOLUME!!! Have tried to say something but everyone says they can't control the music! Straight up only play nickel back and music from 2005!!! At least keep it at a decent level if you're going to play the worst music! But they don't! They blast it so loud I can barely hear my own music!!! Lighting is good tho read more

I love ultimate Fitness. Great small rooms so you have privacy. Also they utilize Active trax which is great for customized workouts and they are super friendly as well. read more

I love that there are so many rooms. The gym is never full and the staff is always great. The smoothies are also amazing. They may need a little updating but everything works and if it doesn't they have something that works just like it. read more

I have a 30 day pass from a friend of mine. Needless to say I will not be joining this gym. It seems as though no one has time to answer questions. I was not offered any packages or plans to join as a member on my initial visit. I have only been 2 times and don't really see myself going back anytime soon. read more

It's like "Cheers!" - everybody knows your name at Ultimate Fitness. It's not the newest or most high-tech club, but everyone is really friendly and I get a great workout every. single. time. I do small group training with Quad Cities Personal Training (based out of UF) and take Zumba classes, and I love both. I feel as though the people in both classes help hold me accountable, and that is what I need to stay fit and healthy. There is never a line at the cardio machines and they make the best smoothies :) read more

I've been going here for over a year. I like how you can find people with all kinds of fitness levels. Absolutely no judgement. Great facilities. Locker rooms are clean and the ladies one have a hot tub. The smoothie bar is nice. The staff is friendly and helpful. They also offer childcare,tanning and personal training. Prices are decent too. Highly recommend you try this gym out. They do offer 7 day free trial. read more

After going to the Rock Island club, I thought I'd get a better workout, same instructor though. Not bad, but just not as expected.

The best bang for your buck! I have been going there for 15 years and call it home! It is as raw as it gets but the people there are very supportive. They have the best supplements and smoothies in town, no doubt. I am a big fan of the Jacuzzi as well! read more
