Ankeny Sports Performance

Fantastic experience: Our boys have had a lot of fun in this program. They enjoy the instructors and the classes. It's great to see their growth and progress throughout the sessions.

Fantastic experience: Our high school daughter trains with the Goldfinch staff and has experienced not only athletic growth, but the staff is truly invested in getting to know her, her goals, and how to help her achieve those.

Fantastic experience: My son has attended Goldfinch for years. He enjoys the workouts and coaches. He has grown significantly in strength and speed.

Fantastic experience: My 16 year old son has been going to Goldfinch for close to a year. Tucker and all of the coaches have been amazing! He sees huge improvements in his strength, performance and confidence. They are flexible with busy athletes and offer a lot of sessions and times that work for busy young athletes.

Fantastic experience: My daughter has been going to Goldfinch for two years now, and we have nothing but great things to say about the program. Tucker does an amazing job of working with her in areas specific to what she needs. The coaches help her set goals and push her to reach those goals. She has learned how to use equipment correctly and now feels comfortable knowing how to workout in a gym independently. We also love the flexibility in scheduling and the variety of class times offered. Highly recommend Goldfinch.

Fantastic experience: Goldfinch Elite is a great program for kids to train and work out. Tucker’s a wonderful trainer and my kids love his classes. Highly reccomend!

Fantastic experience: My 9 and 13 year old boys have been attending the youth sports performance training classes and have loved them! I appreciate that Tucker encourages the kids to push themselves and work really hard, but also adds a fun element at the same time. Highly recommend this program!

Fantastic experience: Goldfinch has been amazing for all 3 of my kids! My oldest is preparing to be a college football player, my middle child is a sophomore and in the middle of her high school volleyball/track experience and an 8th grader that is just getting started with school sports. Tucker has been WONDERFUL for all 3 of them and is always working with them individually on the best way for them to achieve their goals. We love Goldfinch!

Fantastic experience: Our daughter has been going here for years now, we have noticed huge improvements both on and off the soccer field and so has she. Tucker does a great job with the kids and I appreciate all of the updates he sends out. I never experienced this level of involvement with the other local gyms she went to before she started here.

Fantastic experience: I have two kids (11&9) who have done their program for 2 years now. Tucker and his staff have been awesome. They adapt the training to fit the abilities of each, while at same time continuously pushing them beyond what they thought they could do. My kids play multiple sports and the work they have been doing with Tucker can be seen in their practices/games. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Have seen a huge improvement in our kids agility and speed. Great communication. Couldn’t say enough about Tucker!

Fantastic experience: Goldfinch has been great for my 12 year old! He has really gained confidence and thinks the classes are super fun!

Fantastic experience: Our 12 year old son loves Goldfinch Sports Performance! He likes the coaches and the fact that they push him but make it fun at the same time! He's also seen improvements in things that used to be hard for him so he's definitely motivated! We would highly recommend this class!

Fantastic experience: Goldfinch has been fantastic for my 13 and 11 year old! Tucker is amazing - both my kids love going. My 13 year old especially appreciates how Tucker challenges her, and she has made incredible progress.

Fantastic experience: I love training at Goldfinch Athletics. Tucker and all the other trainers are very supportive and knowledgeable, and they have done an amazing job helping me reach my athletic goals!

Fantastic experience: Tucker and the team at AI are great to work with, and genuinely interested in helping the athletes reach peak potential!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Tucker and the team at AI are great to work with, and genuinely interested in helping the athletes reach peak potential!

Fantastic experience: Jeff is an awesome guy! Definitely recommend coming here!

Fantastic experience: Love being a part of NACF family! The members and coaches are great. Workouts are awesome as they always include stretching, strength and cardio.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend NACF to anyone and everyone. The coaches are incredibly friendly and are always looking to help you improve your technique. This is a great place to go regardless of experience or current fitness level is.

Fantastic experience: The coaches and staff are extremely knowledgeable and go out of their way to help you reach your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. Hard work outs. Clean bathrooms. I'm new to Cross fit and the coaches make sure my technique is correct or at least improving before they let you increase your weight.

Fantastic experience: We started with NACF this spring at the prodding of our 29 year-old son. Pretty sure we are 2 of the oldest “athletes” there. But we are doing it! It is so different than what we expected. Everyone encourages everyone - no matter your age or skill level. It is a community, a CrossFit family. The coaches: Jeff, Sean and Audrey are great at scaling the workout, giving you personal attention to insure your form is in check and be your biggest supporter. You will get a good workout no matter your skill level. That’s the beauty of it! I’ve had back problems for 30 years and last month I toted a case of water and 20 lbs of ice through the store and parking lot at Hy-Vee with NO problem. Yes, we want to be fit, but honestly it feels like we have a new lease on life...later in life. Love you NACF family. ❤️

Fantastic experience: Great gym and great community! The coaches are awesome and can help scale all workouts to fit anyone's level.

Fantastic experience: I was nervous about what I was getting myself into when I first started crossfit this spring. I had heard many stories of the intensity and the hard to break into club mentality. The NACF gym definitely has the intensity, but its a good intensity/energy vs. a hyper competitive atmosphere. Additionally, the coaches will assist you in different workouts to help you build skills and strengths allowing you to get to full work out capacity. Lastly, the coaches (Jeff and Shawn) are super great on making sure everyone is included and welcomed into the club. I have recommended to multiple friends who have joined!

Fantastic experience: Great coaches, great people, hard workouts.

Fantastic experience: North Ankeny Crossfit is very welcoming and accommodating to everyone at any fitness level. The coaches are very nice and knowledgable. I would highly recommend NACF to anyone looking for a new gym to join!

Fantastic experience: AI is a great activity for kids, keeps them fit and busy in the offseasons

Fantastic experience: I’ve always wanted to have that “life changing experience” you hear people talk about it. I finally found it after reluctantly trying this gym almost a year ago. Never having been an athlete and completely intimidated by weight lifting I basically tried Crossfit to prove I couldn’t do it. Instead I found a passion I didn’t know existed. The staff is super knowledgeable, supportive and, most importantly, caring. They will challenge you but it’s definitely worth it! The environment is positive, fun and everyone is so encouraging. So, if you’re looking for that “experience” that can truly improve your life this is a good place to start!

Fantastic experience: The coaching staff is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. They do a great job of helping any level of athlete scale the workout as needed. The coaches and members of the gym are all very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: In my second week right now, the coaches do a really good job at scaling workouts and keeping you engaged. There are times of day when you'll find more competitive athletes and others with members on a different learning curve. If you try it out, make sure to try it out at different times of day, but usually you'll find that others at the time slot have the same things going on as you (kids, work, etc.). I like a mix of lots of people doing the workout to keep me motivated, but also I make sure to go to onboarding because good form really makes a big difference and the change of pace is a nice break. I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I just started going to NACF recently, and am enjoying it! Coaches and fellow classmates greet you when you walk in the door and cheer you on during workouts. They just started offering an "on-boarding class" to help learn techniques and general cross fit language which is super helpful!
