Athletic Club of Ames — Attraction in Ames

Hands down my favorite gym in Ames. I personally prefer the tight knit atmosphere that this gym provides. Everyone at this gym is incredibly friendly, and the staff here do a fantastic job at maintaining a clean and organized environment for all of the gym-goers at the Athletic Club. It has just about everything you need (free weights, cardio equipment, dumbbells, a powerlifting rack, a punching bag, turf for agility and stretching, cable machines and more), and the management are keen on listening to their clientele on additional equipment preferences and ways to improve customer satisfaction. Not to mention the gym community here is one of a kind; even if you don’t personally know anyone at the gym, just about everyone is ready and willing to lend a hand, whether it’s racking weights, providing a spot, or just being there for moral support. The atmosphere here is always upbeat and engaging. Definitely an environment that welcomes both beginners to the fitness world, and those who are more advanced in...

The owner and staff here were awesome! We were in town for a short period of time while our kids competed in the 2023 Track & Field Junior Olympic Games in Des Moines and they opened the doors up to offer both strength/agility type training and pre-competition preparation. We thank you so much for the time and training tips!! If we are back in town we will be sure...

Very nice gym, true to the name with a nice open space for athletics, plenty of plates, barbells, racks, platforms, belts, bands and chains for strength training. I was there only twice during a business trip and the daily pass was simple and straightforward. When I called, the owner/staff was super helpful and was wiling to work with my busy schedule....
