2785 N Ankeny Blvd Suite 15, Ankeny“Thankful to a friend who brought me to try out a class at ETF. I have been a member for over a year. Love the many class options. I have definitely improved my overall health, strength & conditioning. I ENJOY my daily workout partners & my coaches Mary & Giselle. They are always encouraging & supportive!”
“I completed the 6 week challenge (for the 2nd time) last week and am happy to say it was a success. The first week is tough to get through if you’re just getting into the swing of working out, but once you do, you start seeing results very quickly. I lost 5-6 lbs my first week. The next couple of weeks I plateaued and the coaches worked with me to adjust my calorie intake. That adjustment was critical to my success in completing the challenge and meeting my goals. All the coaches, Eddie, Lauren, Chico, and Joe were there to answer any questions I had about the workouts, food intake, supplements, etc., and they did it with a smile. The coaches also do a great job bringing energy and pushing you through each workout. The variety of the workouts is my favorite part of the program. They do a fantastic job of switching things up on a daily/weekly basis. If you’re looking to get your fitness journey started or need to press the reset button after some time off from the gym, I can’t recommend this gym and program enough.”
“I have been joining workouts at OTF Ankeny since 2018. I love the science behind the workouts, the variety and the circuit style. I’m just not disciplined enough to work out on my own, so the coach-led workouts with other people is perfect for me. It’s helped me maintain my weight, improve my heart health and get stronger.”
“Super-supportive, I know I'm massively out of shape and the group was understanding and didn't make me feel out of place or less-than for being a 50-something academic trying to get into shape.”
“This is your go-to workout gym for true fitness especially if you’re a beginner like me. Coaches are all knowledgeable and more than willing to help you with your fitness goals. I’ve been burdened with weight loss for decades and have flipped from place to place without results that matter. This place is where the rubber meets the road.”
“Tough but fun 45 minute workouts. Each day is different and strength days are rotated with cardio days so it's easier to get into a routine of going consistently without over working any particular muscle group. The trainers are all very knowledgeable and provide modifications both to make exercises more difficult or to make it easier or to adjust for any past or present injuries you may have. I've been attending for 3 years now and have gained a ton of strength and cardio endurance, as well as a better feel for what my personal goals are outside of just "losing a few pounds". Health and wellness is so important!”
“Solid layout for Powerlifting. Plenty of equipment to utilize, so you aren’t standing around waiting. Very clean environment. Everyone is serious about taking care of equipment and putting weights back on the weight trees. The owners are very personable and knowledgeable!”
“EP4 has been an absolutely fantastic part of our son’s athletic development. Their coaches have been great to work with and their curriculum has proven effective. I cannot say enough about the entire program and the results they have provided us.”

2006 S Ankeny Blvd Bldg 5, Ankeny“I love coming here to swim. I first started coming last year for physical therapy after a bad car accident.This is how i met much if the staff and life guards. They are all super friendly, knowledgeable, easy to talk to if i have questions and often just simply ask about your day. The pool and locker rooms are always clean and i never worry about the showers or changing areas as they seem to always be well maintained. Im extremely thankful for the option of the pools. It's nice to have a place to go and work out and do physical therapy where i feel safe and comfortable.”
“People let you do your thing and move on. This gym has some traffic and it’s spread out well throughout the week and day. Most will not interfere with your routine, and give you the nod and keep moving. Equipment is new, there is more than enough, and new bulbs in the tanning bed.”

1300 NW 36th St, Ankeny“After visiting some other fitness opportunities, I made a decision to join Anytime Fitness in Ankeny on 36th St. This location was not the closest to my home, but I choose it because I was impressed with how bright and clean the facility was. Large windows on three sides really opens up the space. This location also had a lot of new equipment including the equipment I need for my knee rehabilitation. The staff is terrific and I like coming when it is most convenient for me. Be sure to check out this location before you make your decision.”
“I was in town for 3 weeks and used this gym. It is clean and well maintained. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. I would definitely use this gym again if I was staying in the area.”

2505 SW White Birch Dr, Ankeny“I’ve been to many gyms in the past 15 years in the Des Moines area and Ankeny. This is the best place with friendly people and no muscle heads with big egos. Nick, the owner and manager has given this place a very welcome feel. Aside from being a great guy, he is super knowledgeable about all aspects of health, fitness, supplements and everything in between. Offers a wide range of protein powder, creatine, and other supplements that are priced cheaper than Amazon.Highly recommend!”

“I have had a great experience at Planet Fitness in Ankeny and wanted to share my thoughts. This location maintains its equipment impeccably, ensuring that everything is in good condition for workouts. Unlike other locations, they promptly address any issues with broken equipment, enhancing the overall gym experience.
One of the standout aspects of this gym is the friendly staff, particularly Elizabeth. She consistently greets me with a warm hello upon my arrival and even remembers my preferred hydro massage chair, adding a personalized touch to my visits.
Overall, my time at Planet Fitness in Ankeny has been consistently enjoyable, thanks to the well-maintained equipment and the welcoming atmosphere fostered by the staff, especially Elizabeth. I highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a positive gym experience.”
