Great vibes, clean gym. Good selection of personal trainers. Staffs are friendly. Has everything you need in a gym. Obviously will get busy at peak times but that’s every gym.

Kasee definitely remains my favorite way to relax. Everyone needs to try her skills. She is amazing and always is kind friendly smiles and heartfelt attention to her job! She is strong and I am glad I got a chance to book with her!

Yikes. Sunday staff flirting with each other for over an hour.... To the point where they're not greeting anyone entering or exiting the doors. Very unprofessional. Weekday staff are great and make your business feel appreciated.

Facility and staff are extremely nice but I would love to see more people of color working at any location. I feel extremely uncomfortable and out of place when working out here. Even considering a membership to Planet Fitness because of the inexpensive price and diversity.Machines and staff are great otherwise.

Extremely frustrated to the point I'd like to just move away, even though I already have! I went here due to a friend saying it's great, well it isn't for me. Extremely busy every time I go (sometimes 2, sometimes 6-7), when I started I went to the south main location and that was a mess, 6 squat racks isn't enough and if there's one open people race to it, same with free weights. Started going to the north location and its almost the same way, super busy plus less equipment than south.So on to the contract. For one why does a gym have a contract? I've never been to a gym with a contract, YMCA, anytime, strength shop ect. Why are you giving highschool/ college students contracts? So after not understanding the contract and still signing up (because I thought it would be a nice open gym and I'd stay), let me tell ya it's super hard to get out of it. Even after moving 25 miles away they still won't let me go! YOU HAVE TO MOVE 50 MILES AWAY, you could move all the way to Webster city and still have to come to Ames fitness. Completely stupid! It's so inconvenient for me now having moved away further from Ames and still being locked into this place. So thanks Brett Halverson for denying my request. I will try and let everyone I know not to come to Ames fitness. This gym is my worst nightmare.Do yourself a favor, go to strength shop, planet fitness or just something else.. All have no commitment.

Friendliest staff ever and the North and South locations are both kept very clean! I really love the pool at the North one

As you consider getting back into the gym, I will say these two things. 1. You should totally do it and there's no better day than today! 2. This is a great place to start as they have resources specifically for people who are just starting to get into the gym scene. I will say it's a little pricey, but well worth it! This gym has a lot of space and equipment for you to meet your fitness goals. There are other locations as well for those who want more of small gym feel. This is a clean facility and the staff is helpful!

Racks are always full. Doesn’t matter if I come on workday at 6am or 8pm, or on Sunday at 12pm. They should really add more of them since it the most used equipment in the gym.

Where do I start, this gym is what I think of when thinking of the perfect gym. It started with the location and excellent staff and service. It quickly moved to the awesome energy and knowledge that you get from all staff; they are eager to help and will take time with you. Also, they understand what you are striving for and they WILL get you there and further, while having fun. The group classes are intense for every level athlete, and you will love the diverse workout combinations.Also, I must give credit to the south gym manager, Brett. I had a not so great experience in the past and Brett went above and beyond in making me feel valued as member. He know many of the members that visit the gym by name, and will always make time in hearing concerns and recommendations. If you visit this gym or plan to become a member, I would highly recommend you speak with him as he has great deal of context and will connect you with the right person for your individual fitness goals. I would highly recommend this gym and specifically, the south location! The team and Brett operates on excellence!

They stole my $700 membership that I put on hold. How pissed would you be?
