Two Rivers Martial Arts

I enjoy training at Two Rivers. The not for profit setup makes it feel really comfortable, all the staff is there because they want to be, not because they are being paid. The instructors have been very helpful to my son and I as we learn!

I was attending Two Rivers taekwondo at the Clive location and had to recently change where I take taekwondo for some logistical reasons. I do want to put in a positive review for Master Bailey and Mr. Bailey for the way in which they train students in this form of martial arts. They are both very competent in their knowledge and skills as well as their ability to instruct others no matter your age or skill level. I highly recommend this option for learning and/or fine tuning your skills in taekwondo!

Elite Edge Transformation Center

I completed the Back to School Challenge and I'm more than happy with the results. I was able to lose 21 lbs in the six weeks. I had been trying to lose weight on my own and this challenge helped me achieve my goal. It's challenging, but if you follow the diet and put in the work, you will succeed. I feel better and stronger. All the coaches were very encouraging through out the challenge. Hannah would check in to see how I was doing and Josh and Lucas were very helpful and fun instructors. During the workouts they don't hover over you, but do let you know if you're form is incorrect so you do workout the muscle group that you're suppose to. The gym environment is fun and very welcoming. Every day is a different workout so you don't get bored with the workouts. I also like the variety of workout hours. I recommend Elite Edge to anyone in any fitness level in thinking of achieving their next health and fitness goals.

I would totally recommend elite edge transformation if you are looking to shed lots of pounds. Specially the six week challenge which I took. I am proud to say that I lost 24 pounds and it wasn’t bad at all. I honestly thought it was going to be really hard for me but I actually enjoyed everything of the six week challenge. The coaches are excellent teachers and are always there to support you. Thank you Elite edge transformation for transforming my life and making a big change on it. I will from now on make healthier choices thanks to Elite Edge Transformation. Thanks for helping me and guiding me trough this stage of my life.

I just finished a 6 week challenge at Elite Edge and it was very helpful in helping to jump start losing weight. It’s a good workout, with a variety of different workouts daily and no 2 days are the same. The trainers are helpful and I would recommend if you’re needing some help getting started out, this is a good place to start.

If you are looking for a fun challenging and weight loss gym, Elite Edge Transformation is the place for you. Don't look more because at Elite Edge Transformation you don't only work out but rather train for a future you. If you ask me, I am more thankful with Elite Edge because they literally transformed me into a new person, not only because they helped me in the process of losing 32 pounds but also because they helped me make healthier choices. I am really proud of myself because I had tried different methods for losing weight, but I would always give up and never accomplish any of them. However, with elite I felt welcomed and always had a coach behind me telling me "Don't give up" or "you can do it". Thank you coaches for making me feel like part of the family and for making these 6 weeks challenge the best.

Completed a 2nd 6 week challenge. Just like the 1st one, I would recommend Elite Edge if you needing some help to jump start your workouts and lose some weight. Classes aren’t too big in size, workouts can push you and will help you get back on track with you health.

Train With Fire

Terrible customer service! Tried to speak to both individuals and they wouldn't speak back!

I've been here once, and it is the only GNC I have been to. It's a suite in a strip mall-like area, so of course not incredibly large. The selection is decent, prices can be a bit higher compared to larger franchise shops or of course purchasing online. They have some items you can't find locally very easily otherwise. There are some products I purchase often that are the same price or cheaper as options I have found online, such as Now Eucalyptus Oil.

The employee was extremely friendly, and actually rather insistent about making conversation and going quite above and beyond to look through a large book they have on hand to find products that would meet my criteria. I think perhaps the employee was a bit bored as it was late at night and had probably been pretty quiet there for a while.

Employees don’t have a clue what they’re doing half the time and just push you to buy things you’re not looking for. GNC Ankeny is much better than this one

The lady working there provided a good experience and helped me setup my account. She helped me with what I need and did an awesome job

Went there to ask about some supplements for my new diet plan and the guy looked at me with an expression of "oh okay" and looked at me from top to bottom. I know I am a big girl with stomach issues and he made me feel uncomfortable.  I walked out only buying 1 item out of the 4 I needed. They have variety but he would of kept eye contact and yhe vibe was better,  I would of walked out with all 4 items.

Wellmark YMCA

We especially love the swimming pool in downtown YMCA. Parking building is right by the gym . You only need pay $15/month parking which covers 2 hours each time.

Awesome location; cannot beat getting in & out of a facility without ever going outside, due to the Skywalk; it's only one of two gyms in the US that connects this way. The building is huge; a massive (2) pool area; all training equipment is well spaced out. Two full BB courts; 10 Racquetball / handball courts; mechanical workout equipment is aging but functional.

Wow! Very impressive YMCA that takes up an entire city block. The machines are plentiful and in very good shape. Bouldering wall along with several racquetball courts and a large gymnasium. Aquatic Center is unlike any YMCA I have ever seen before, beyond impressive. Locker rooms are posh and have a sauna as well.

Great gym but I had items stolen out of my bag while working out… my fault for not locking it up but I do feel the staff could do a better job of enforcing everyone inside actually has a membership. I do appreciate that they have been enforcing that you must be accompanied by an adult if you are 14 or younger a lot more recently. Thanks.

I'm a ymca baby ( now old man)& has always loved the amenities and people. Maybe you should consider mandating a 2 min video prior to everyone enrolling covering gym etiquette. Taking up two machines or one while you play with your phone isn't cool

Yoni Wax Boutique

Kellee was excellent!  I would highly recommend her to anyone.  If you're searching for a great place and person for waxing, look no further.  Pricing is more than fair/reasonable, relaxing and immaculate studio and she does an outstanding job calming first-timers.

You can go to someone who just gets it done, or be with Kellee who truly cares about you and your experience. Professional, loving, and the leading future example of non-judge-mental service for all.

This was the most energetic environment ever! Kellee did amazing and it was such a good experience, it was made very personal and I love that! Thank you Kellee!

Kellee is amazing..very comfortable,relaxing setting with a nice scent of aroma throughout the room. Thank you kellee you are the bomb..Boom!

Gameday Men's Health Ankeny

Trail Point Aquatics & Wellness

This place is amazing. The gym is always clean and the staff there are so friendly. The gym space is large and has pleanty of options to choose from. 100% recomend. if you are a DMACC full time student you will be able to recieve a free membership. Even if you are not. The membership is worth the money.

The best gym there is in town; with something for every fitness needs. An 8 lane pool for the fish in the house, a tenth of a mile running track for those with dreams of beating a cheetah and  a top of the line weight floor. Did I mention fitness classes?

Can’t seem to get comfy using the equipment upstairs on 2nd floor.  Feels exposed to the first floor foot traffic, like you can be stalked or you’re on display.

Lots to do here. Kids activities are appreciated and a must if you want to take your kids with to work out.

Beautiful facility, LOVE that they offer child care so us MAMAs can enjoy our workouts without worrying about who's going to watch our littles.

Ankeny Martial Arts

As a father and 3 sons we are greatly enjoying our time in traditional Taekwondo class as it has been great to learn self defense and also be active, gaining muscle flexibility and just being there for each other as a dad and his boys. Mr. and Mrs. Deaver are very kind and helpful and they care very much for each student and seeing them continually improve. I am very grateful for Mr. Anderson and his teaching and the patience and support he gives us 4 (and the entire class) is ideal for learning and following through with each weeks teaching.
I don’t know many his age that I respect more. Mr. Inman is also a great contributor to all things Ankeny Martial Arts. We are all so glad to be apart of this class and look forward to moving forward as a family!

More than just self defense

My daughter started through the Ankeny Parks and Rec program. We expected it to be someone with little experience herding children in a community building. It wasn’t. We were amazed that it was hosted by an accomplished martial arts family in a nice facility specially designed for teaching the craft. They are a local small business that has been around for almost 20 years and we didn’t know it existed.
After the P&R classes ended my daughter wanted to join. My wife and I were hesitant because of the time commitment and membership fee, and our daughter was only seven. We realized this was something she was enjoying and it wasn't any different from the sports that our other kids were in, soccer and gymnastics, both of which cost way more and took just as much, if not more time.
After watching my daughter engage for a month, I decided to make it a father-daughter venture and join myself. It has been a wonderful experience. It is something that we get to spend time together doing.
The classes accommodate adults and children and it is so much more than self-defense. My daughter has learned patience, focus, confidence, being calm, being respectful, and it has strengthened her memory and muscles and improved her endurance. And then there is the part where I don’t worry about her being bullied, or doing the right thing.

Our daughter loves going to taekwondo here. The teachers are wonderful and very patient with the kids! They have had issues with their apps and I'm still not sure it's working but overall they have been wonderful to work with. My daughter looks forward to going 2 times a week.

Mr. Deaver is an exceptional person.  His black belt student instructors are top notch.    Wyatt loves the Lil Ninjas and the youth Tae kwon do programs.  His confidence, balance and agility have all improved since starting the classes.  Highly recommend.

"I am so impressed with the growth and development of my son Britten during his time at Ankeny Martial Arts. He has been a part of this community for four years now and has become a true leader among the youth here. He's even a part of the demo team, which showcases the incredible skill and discipline these instructors are able to instill within their students. I cannot recommend Ankeny Martial Arts enough. They don't just teach martial arts techniques, they instill values of respect, discipline, and resilience that will serve their students for a lifetime. Thank you for everything you've done for my son, Britten!"
