If you want to improve in strength and balance, not just maintain, working with a coach is very helpful. Nathan has helped me improve gradually with just two half hours a week...and have fun doing it. And he is also a nutrition coach.

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!

Ames Fitness Center has put significant effort into downgrading the City of Ames' goal of providing a public fitness center that would benefit the community as a whole

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.
