Trainers near Des Moines

“I am a beginner in fitness classes. Barb Mendoza, the owner, is so welcoming and supportive. My first trainer, Isabel, is a great instructor. She shows me moves, corrects my form, and encourages me every step of the way. I’ll be coming back lots more to get toned and fit.“

“Coach Tim Ives has been instrumental in helping me pass multiple Army fitness tests. His training approach is not only effective but also tailored to individual goals, pushing you to not just meet standards—but exceed them. Tim is incredibly dedicated, responsible, and genuinely invested in his clients' success. He brings energy, motivation, and accountability to every session. If you're serious about your fitness goals and want to work with someone who truly cares about your progress, I highly recommend Coach Tim Ives.“

“I have absolutely loved getting into CrossFit with Priority.

The coaches are friendly and know when you need a little push to do more. They're always looking for issues related to form so that you don't hurt yourself.

The members are always welcoming and friendly. I initially worried I wouldn't fit in, but everyone at the gym makes you feel welcome.

The workouts are always hard, but never get boring. I've been coming for about 2 years and I've only done the same workout 2 times if that.

I can't recommend joining enough if you are looking for a consistent way to get done physical activity.“

“Engineered Performance by DMOS is a solid choice in Ankeny. Great facilities and the staff were genuinely helpful. The equipment was modern, clean, and never too crowded. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Ankeny.“

“For 2 years Pat has worked my husband, who has chronic mobility issues. My husband will never get back to what was, but without Pats help, I'm sure he would not be walking at all. Pat has the expertise to know what will or won't work on any given day, he pays attention to him, pushing him just enough. Pat has a positive fun approach that my husband loves and gets inspired to give it his best. I am truly grateful we found Pat!“
