“I came to the gym after a 3 year layoff and 61years old. I started with 12 personal training sessions with Coach Vince….that was a great way to start back! Classes have been tough but the excellent coaches have helped scale some of the movements to make me feel comfortable while not slowing up the class for the other athletes. My wife and I have had a great experience with the Merle Hay gym, and the friendly and knowledgeable coaches! Highly recommended.”
“Convenient location with a hard to beat month-to-month membership. Can get pretty crowded during peak times, which is the only negative. Facility also kept pretty clean, and staff is great.”

“I’ve been training at CrossFit West Des Moines for the past couple of weeks. I have never done HWPO programming but I have to say I am loving it. Even more so the people. This is my first time in the great state of Iowa and I am blown away at how nice and respectful everyone is. I love the coaches and the members here. Always ready to get after it! Here’s to the next couple of weeks! Cheers guys!”
“Highly recommend CrossFit Valley Junction to anyone looking for a fun supportive environment that challenges you physically! I have done CrossFit off and on for a few years now. I recently switched back from a stint of powerlifting and CFVJ is such a supportive and fun community. The workouts are challenging, the coaches are knowledgeable and caring, and the members are fun and supportive! I cannot recommend a better place to continue your health journey!”

“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.”
“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 was excited to start the 6 week weight loss challenge. I wanted to lose weight and get healthier but I also knew it would be hard. The coaches and members are very encouraging. My friends and family gave me motivation and encouragement that I needed also. The diet was very strict but you are eating every 3 hours. The private facebook groups were nice to see everyones progress, and ask questions. I am happy to say that I was able to lose 28.6 lbs in my first 6 week challenge. I had the opportunity to do a second 6 week challenge.The second 6 week challenge was tougher for me. I was able to lose 20 lbs in the last 6 weeks. It's crazy that I have lost 48.6 lbs in 12 weeks. I know I wouldn't have been able to lose this weight on my own. The trainers are so awesome, push you and want you to succeed. Thanks to Elite Edge for the support and pushing me in the workouts.”
“The Elite Edge Transformation Center has officially transformed my life. I have just completed their 6 week 20 lbs challenge and let me tell you it was well worth it. The challenging workouts, helpful staff, and strict diet has helped me lose just over 30 lbs! I feel so much better than I did six weeks ago, I can see the difference in my body and I can feel the difference in my health! I owe it all to the fine people at the Waukee Elite Edge gym! I would highly highly highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for that little push to get you over the hump of starting their journey. It is not an easy challenge and I would strongly recommend having an accountability partner to do it with, but either way, in the end it is all worth it to see and feel the results! Thanks so much again to everyone who helped me reach my goals!”
“Thanks for being so welcoming on my travel through. My flight was delayed, I called Genesis and they welcomed me immediately. Awesome gym, they have everything you could want in a fitness center and more. Very friendly staff, I’ll definitely be back when I come here for work. Thanks again!”
“Being able to get the day/week passes or memberships online make it easy to go anytime. Just have to download the app required.
The guy at the front desk was extremely nice and knew a lot about the company which was nice. Wasn’t just trying to push a membership across.
The equipment and areas were very cleaned and maintained.
Been twice and wasn’t overcrowded or waiting on machines at all.
Overall great experiences and bought the FF backpack they have.”

I have definitely improved my overall health, strength & conditioning. I ENJOY my daily workout partners & my coaches Mary & Giselle. They are always encouraging & supportive!”
“This is a great gym! The classes are easy to follow along with the instructions and videos on the screen and the coaches are encouraging and supportive during workouts!”
“My son attends D1 for small group offensive line training. His time with Coach Mason has supported his return to the field post knee surgery. The coaching he gets is personalized and he feels the support he is getting is well worth the 30 minute drive.”

“I took the 6 week challenge with my husband. After having four kids and not taking any time to focus on myself, it felt good to get back into a routine and work on myself for a change. I lost 20.4 pounds in the 6 weeks. The coaches (Alex and Aaron) really pushed us and motivated us when we needed it. They help keep you accountable each week and want to see you hit your goals just as much as you do. I 10/10 recommend Elite Edge for anyone that needs a push to get started or just is looking for a good gym to workout at. They run a great program and the coaches get to know each of their members and their individual needs/wants.”

“I’ve been to many different CrossFit gyms throughout the country and it’s rare to find one where people with little exercise experience can feel comfortable coming every day. At 8035 they absolutely foster this environment. It’s great to see people feel comfortable improving their health every day at 8035.”

“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!”
“You can’t find better coaches that adapt the workouts to meet our needs. They created a program for those of us that might be a bit older and not as flexible anymore. The coaches encourage, challenge and support each and every athlete.”

She really knows how to customize workouts to help you reach your goals and focus on any areas you want to improve. Plus, she’s great at explaining form and technique. I definitely recommend working with her one-on-one or taking one of her classes!”

“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.”
“This gym is owned by some of the nicest people I’ve ever met. Great equipment, great atmosphere, and great service. I would highly recommend this center to anyone in the area.”
