Fantastic experience: Iowa City Fitness is THE place in downtown Iowa City to train. The facility boasts a separate cardio room, tanning facility, Life Fitness machine area as well as a separate large free weight room. The 24 hour access for members makes this a very efficient and convenient option for working out whenever the mood strikes. Personal training is available from top notch instructors, and individual work out plans can be created to suit every age and ability. I highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Easily the best gym in Iowa City. The owner is a fantastic and personable guy who is constantly trying to make the gym a better place.People go there to work out. It's not overcrowded because of that fact. If you're serious about getting in shape and don't want to waste your time all day at any U of Iowa gyms, you'll go here.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area by far. Have been coming here since I was a senior in high school at a local high school and love it. Have not stopped coming here even after enrolling at the University of Iowa. Much less crowded at all times of the day than the University Recreation Center is. 24/7 access allows me to come in whenever I can even if its late after work. New owner Adam has improved the overall experience of the gym and always remembers everyone he comes in contact with in the gym. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a gym or a new gym with no waits for equipment.

Fantastic experience: Iowa City Fitness has anything and everything any person could ask for. Whatever type of workout you are interested in, this gym has it and the equipment is top notch. The facilities are excellent, but the people and the management is really what puts this place above all other gyms. The owner is personable with every single member and he has an attitude that is contagious towards every person in there. The moment I saw him every day, he brightened my day and made me ready for my workout. He also was always there for me with helpful tips on how to improve certain lifts. You will not find another owner like this at any other gym. He is personally invested in each member. I lived in Iowa City for about a year and absolutely loved the town, and this gym was the part about the town I enjoyed the most.

Fantastic experience: Came over from Australia and was in town for five days. The guys looked after me with a cheap flate rate and were very awesome all round. They had all the equipment I needed! Highly recommended these guys for sure!!

Fantastic experience: Iowa City Fitness is the best gym in the Iowa City area! The facilities are great, and they have so many amenities, so it's great for whatever type of exercise you're interested in. The personal trainers are very knowledgable and helpful, and the 24/7 access is so convenient! I would definitely recommend checking out this gym!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member here for 10+ years and I'm amazed at how it's changed and grown for the better. The classes are fun and varied, the people are friendly. Mornings are great, laid back but good energy. Locker room is clean and even though there aren't tons of showers I never wait. It's not the plushest but it has everything you could possibly need: knowledgable and friendly staff, plenty of cardio equipment and a variety of weight equipment. It couldn't be in a better location and the parking is great. I know for the price you won't find a better gym.

Fantastic experience: Awesome lifting and cardio atmosphere! No matter what level of fitness you are, you will enjoy your time at ICF. The cardio equipment is separate from the weights as well as numerous group classes that you can participate in.

Positive experience: Loved the classes- Les Mills instructors are great! I found the gym to be disorganized- hodge podge and pieced together, not very cohesive or concise. For instance you have to go up and down lots of stairs to get to various rooms or down long stretches of hallway. It would be nice if it was organized in a manner that allowed easy access to each part of the gym as you switch your workouts. When I went there was no group fitness room (I understand it is coming), not ready for the Les Mills classes- such as Pump or Step yet (still coming), and limited on number of machines and types of machines (small room). We had classes in the heat of the summer outside in the sun and I felt faint many times due to the heat. I found that while parking offered a roof from the elements (nice idea), I still had to pay -unable to get in and out in an hour (due to all the stairs and hallways from the parking garage and in the building). That adds a lot of cost to the lower priced membership if you visit regularly. If they get some of these things worked out, I would still consider, as I'd love to get the Les Mills instructors provided. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I feel they could still pull it off with some tweaking!

Fantastic experience: Arguably the best gym in the greater Iowa City area! Indoor heated pool, Tanning, free weights, machines galore, covered parking and walkway, owner operated (rare find these days) 24/7 access available (no excuses). Personal training one on one that is tailored to fit YOU (which is great because not every one is a beginner or advanced) with your personal training comes along with expert nutritional advice to once again fit YOUR personal needs and to help you reach your fitness or weight loss goals. Its a great feeling to belong to a gym where you find the owner working with members of a wide variety almost everyday! Not to mention its in a perfect location right smack dab in the center of down town.

Fantastic experience: I love it so much I spend my free time here! Probably the most relaxed gym I've ever been to, the owners and personal trainers are really great and know everyone by name, there is all kinds of equipment and this place is never crowded! This gym is everything you could want for a gym.

Nina Pliakos 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of ic fitness for three years now and I have always loved it! The staff is great- Adam is the nicest guy- and anyone there will help you with whatever you need. They have just started classes up which makes the gym even better then before! They have 24 hour access so you can workout whenever you want. It may be a little smaller than other gyms in the area but there is always something open for you to do, and if there isn't I'm sure Adam or Zac would help you find something. They have tanning, a pool, and a new hydro massage that makes you want to fall asleep. BEST GYM I HAVE EVER BEEN A MEMBER OF! Join if you don't have a gym yet! You won't be sorry!!

Fantastic experience: Great facility, awesome staff! Staff is very friendly and owners are hands on which is nice. Becoming more organized with all the improvements happening. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for a more private and personal experience!

Nick McGargill 1 year ago

Positive experience: Contrary to others opinions, I found this gym to be good place to lift. The owner, Adam is nice & enjoys to get to know those who are lifting in his gym & to assist them with their needs. I enjoy the atmosphere, the large variety of lifting equipment, & the professionalism. ICF certainly surprises your expectations.

Monte Hackwith 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Well equipped. A real weight room with Olympic weights, power rack, bench presses, big dumbbells etc. Great staff.

Aaron Poisel 2 years ago

Positive experience: Excellent staff, clean equipment, plentiful options, and perfect aura. My only issue are the hours. Covid related, sure; but, this doesn't mean shrink hours substantially. Let's hope this improves. Still a great facility.

Johann miller 4 years ago

Positive experience: I've recently started taking P90X and Insanity classes with Robbie and they have been killer! I've noticed changes in my body in the first week or so and am a big fan of these classes. Robbie is a wealth of information when it comes to the body and points out common form mistakes and emphasizes good form to get the most out of each exercise. He doesn't have that aggro drill sergeant routine but instead will coax you into working hard with his knowledge, humor and presence.

Jonathan Prall 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been working out here for almost 2 years. It's a great place to workout at! They have a little bit of every thing machines, racks, benches, and a fake grass area across a strip of the gym!

Fantastic experience: Great management. Super helpful in helping my wife get a workout in over the three months we will be here...Awesome location, rooftop pool, food below and they even have you necessary proteins or energy drinks if you are feeling down. Would highly recommend even though they are currently undergoing construction it is still a great gym

Fantastic experience: This is absolutely, hands down, the best gym I've ever been to. When my boyfriend and I joined Iowa City Fitness, we were the most out of shape we had ever been. I started training with Adam (also the owner of the gym), and he started training with Zack. Both Adam and Zack changed our lives as they pushed us to get back into the groove of working out and eating healthy. After 3 short months of training with Adam, I lost over 20 pounds. Adam was so helpful because he taught me so much about health and working out. During every workout, he explained what we were doing and how these exercises helped. The best part about working out with Adam is that he believed in me. I was extremely overweight when I started but that didn't stop him from crafting hard workouts for me instead of just sticking to the basics. He is so knowledgeable (and my boyfriend would say the same about Zack) and so dedicated to the health of his clients. Unfortunately, we moved in August, otherwise we would be members for life at Iowa City Fitness. It has now been almost 5 months since we moved and both my boyfriend and I kept the weight we lost off because Adam and Zack taught us lifestyle changes which is the healthiest way to lose weight. Every trainer there is great and I highly recommend training at this gym! Aside from the training, the gym was incredible. I never felt judged while working out there and I was always able to find an open machine. The gym is well kept and very clean. Every person that works there is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I have never met nicer people than Adam and Zack! Everyone there is so passionate about what they do. Please join this gym if you live in the Iowa City area, it will change your life!
