“I have been going here for about 3 years now and have not ever had a complaint. The staff is always professional and curious. The facility is consistently clean. The equipment is consistently working. There's many activities always happening. The atmosphere is fantastic. Overall I just haven't had a bad workout day here ?.”

“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.”
“As a fellow gym owner, The Bar/Jeremy is a first class operation. His knowledge and dedication to helping others is the reason this gym has so many positive reviews. In addition to running a successful gym, Jeremy is a dedicated father and husband. Keep up the good work!”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”
“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!”
“I have been traveling for work and wanted to continue CrossFit training and this site and Anna made it possible. Very kind and flexible from the first moment and I had the opportunity to be with 3 coaches and all of them were wonderful. I enjoyed and learned a lotThank you”

“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.”

“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.”

“5 stars for the owners being extremely nice and helpful, the place is kept very clean and the people that lift here are all friendly and will lend a hand or answer questions. Great lifting environment.My only issue is, the gym itself is on the smaller side and could use some equipment updating. Better ellipticals, could use a hex bar, a better leg press machine, also due to the size the cable machine does not have the good cable back row/pulldown addons on it which is unfortunate. A ab crunch machine would be nice as well. You can still get a great workout in but I would love to see some more must have lifting machines.”
