When I heard the Palestra opened-- I got pretty excited! Our community definitely had a need for…read moregym space and its North Liberty location is super convenient. The Palestra has four courts-- for basketball or volleyball with a handful of batting cages and pickleball courts! You can conveniently rent courts online. We were in a tournament run by the Palestra this past weekend. I'm knocking a star off this review because there were a handful of things I'd have done differently in regards to the tournament planning. (Notably; we were at TWO locations for the tournament vs one, our games were super duper late and finally, we had to provide a parent to run the scoreboard.) The Palestra is a great addition to the area!!

This has to do with other people and not the facility. Parents... PLEASE remember we all want to…read moresee our kids play ball!! I was forced to sit alone in an empty row of chairs this weekend because parents were holding chairs for the game after ours. Our poor kids didn't get a chance to see their parents sitting by the court because the game after was more important than ours apparently. We parents are all in this together!! Just ask the person in your seat to put your coat there when they are through. And for Pete's sake don't let your children practice dribbling between this mom and the game I'm trying to watch. I shouldn't have to ask your children to move!! My son's team did amazing and sadly went home with medals that weren't even intended for them. Some were baseball, not basketball, so yes I'm upset with the facility, but I'm more upset that parents can't work together to support our amazing kiddos.

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. Just a great place, decent price (around $60 a month I believe). Not one to write reviews, but got my partner going here too. One of those gyms where it's a hidden gem and if you know, you know.

They are doing a 7 day pass, but it's not 7 entrances, it's seven days from the time you purchase one. It's extremely limiting and a they're clearly just hoping to charge the amount for 7 days in hopes you don't use it for more than a couple. The gym is clean, but it pretty much ends there for it being a good gym. The equipment is old, cracked and missing pieces so things like the 45lbs plates are rarely 45lbs. You could also pay $10/day, which is then 130% more than a week pass. With other gym options available, like Planet Fitness who actually give you one free day there are other more gyms friendly to out of town guests.

I took a tour of the facility, which is spacious and clean, and then took advantage of the free one week trial membership.

I've lived in Iowa City for almost 30 years and this gym is a surprisingly wonderful find after all that time.
