Anytime Fitness Downtown Des Moines

We spent a few days in Des Moines last week. We called Amber in advance and she was able to set us up so we could come for a few workouts. She was extremely friendly and accommodating. The gym was quite large and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back on our next visit! Thanks for everything Amber!

Definitely my #1 choice in Des Moines. I was in town on business for a couple months but wasn't a big fan of the other gyms in the area. Amber was extremely helpful and made it a great experience.

My only gripe is there's no calf machines, but this seems to be the trend in the area.

I was in town this week for the 2022 World Food Prize and was looking for a place to work out. This Anytime Fitness was walking distance from my hotel and had all my gym equipment needs! Amber was so nice and provided me a guest membership.

Wow! What a clean Anytime! This club is a gem. I was visiting from Wisconsin and was treated like a king. The club manager was very attentive and genuinely interested in my life and fitness journey. Club layout was great with lots of natural lighting as this facility is on the second floor overlooking down town. Plenty of equipment and very spacious. If you are a local or just visiting this is the club for you!

The staff was very friendly, the equipment was clean, and the view was amazing! The view makes this gym look like an expensive gym for sure. They have vending machines as well as a scale to measure your muscle and fat weight. The bathrooms are also nice, private and all separate. Another perk to this gym is that they have a filtered water machine, very clean!

Chill place! Everyone is so nice and helpful. This gym has everything you need to get HUGE! There's a very nice selection of gym equipment and accessories, including multiple grips to target harder muscle groups.

Partner and I were in town to visit the State Fair and Amber, the manager, gave us a very warm welcome to this well-situated, well-equipped and spotless new gym. Great variety of machines and free weights. Super cool body composition analyzer that I wish ever gym had!

Clean, friendly gym with a great atmosphere! Manger was very helpful with my membership and made sure I had everything I needed! I would recommend this gym to everyone.

This might be the first time I’ve ever made a review, definitely the first time I’ve reviewed a gym before. Unfortunately, there is nothing positive I can say about this place. I’ve lived in Texas, California, New Jersey, Indiana, and Iowa and without question this was the worst gym I’ve belonged to, both from a facility and ownership perspective.

The only reason I was a member of this gym was because it was close to my apartment. However, in hindsight I should have joined the YMCA or Planet Fitness.

The gym is incredibly small and feels even smaller during rush hours (before work and after work). They don’t have very many machines (particularly the popular ones) and having to wait for one to become available becomes a serious issue.
The trainers are less than average and it feels like a revolving door of trainers. The decent trainers leave for somewhere else leaving only the less than stellar ones behind. You can get a good sense of how a place operates based on how often employees leave and the trainers were always leaving. I’ve never seen anything like that before.

The equipment/machines always seem to be broken and then they leave a sign on equipment that says replacing soon…however it never seems to be replaced. I think there were two treadmills they were planning on replacing for months but it never happened. Then, they raise their gym membership prices for “upgraded equipment”.

Ownership is awful. Rarely there and when he is there he’s not very friendly. Definitely not much of a culture/community at this gym. This was a quote from the owner when I was trying to cancel my membership (I didn’t realize I had to show I was moving and he needed my new address). His response is immature, childish, condescending, and unnecessary.
“Please work with us here. You are not being reasonable. There is no address showing where you moved. Do not make us have to explain basic functions of life to you and talk down to you on this subject. If this is truly confusing please ask your parents for help. ”
I wouldn’t recommend this gym to anyone. There are much better options in the greater Des Moines area. The facility, machines, trainers, and ownership all need to be improved for me to ever go back there again.

Simple and effective. Several squat racks to choose from and it's not too crowded. Cool gym in a cool location. Amanda's the best!

This gym is great for its location. They have a versatile set of free weights to include kettlebells, dumbbells up to 100s, and copious amounts of plates/barbells.

The atmosphere is great. They made the most of the space and it does not feel cramped at all. The staff and people are welcoming. The bathrooms/showers are all individual use. Additionally, to top off everything, it’s one of the cleanest gyms I’ve ever been too.

I highly recommend checking out this gym regardless of wether your are newer or an experienced gym goer!

Amber was really helpful and facilitated me trying out the gym first. Very nice gym. Very clean and organized very well. Would recommend to all.

We visited Des Moines and Anytime Fitness was just down the block from our hotel. This facility has a cool view from the 2nd floor looking out to downtown. They have all the equipment you need and we found the layout very well planned. The town is very nice - we highly recommend this gym to locals, or if planning to visit.

I had a great experience workout out here. I got a one day pass and everyone was supper helpful. They have great equipment as well. I would definitely go there again.

Great gym. I was in town for work and they were helpful and accommodating. Had everything I needed because the hotel gyms just won’t cut it! Highly recommend Anytime Fitnesses atmosphere and the views of downtown while your working out are awesome!

I was able to use this facility while traveling for business. Amber was very helpful setting up a short term deal for my group and the gym had all the equipment I needed and more.

Very nice clean facility, with great views from the many windows. The staff is always super helpful and friendly. I look forward to using this gym every time I travel to Des Moines

Solid location, very accommodating as a large group of us were up for work. 24 hours is very convenient and never very crowded.
