With Iowa beginning to reopen we want to reassure you that the safety of our members and staff are our top priority. We know that it’s important to you, our members, to get back to your normal routine. This is why we have used this time during the shutdown to ensure that once we are able to reopen, we are able to provide you with safest environment possible. We have moved our equipment so it meets social distancing guidelines. increased the amount of cleaning supplies and hand sanitizer available in the club, plexiglass barriers have been installed for safe check-in procedures. Cardio equipment will be limited to every other machine, even with these limitations there still will be over 35 pieces available for you to use. Due to social guidelines our steam rooms and saunas will be closed until further notice. Group Fitness class sizes will be limited but pre-registration will be available for each class.
Kids Gym will remain open with added cleaning and forehead temperature checks performed. Staff will also have their temperature checked prior to their shift as well as they will wear masks to make sure our members are safe. We have also trained all staff with new cleaning protocols that meet the CDC guidelines. We will also be regularly walking the club to ensure that new guidelines are being followed by members and continually cleaning equipment.
We hope everyone is able to continue staying safe during this time. We look forward to serving you once we are able to open back up.
Based on the Governors guidelines we anticipate re-opening Saturday May 16th at 7am and all time lost during this mandated closure has already been applied to your account.
We can’t wait to have you back and look forward to seeing all of your faces soon

We at Fitness World want to do what is right for our members and instructors so as of March 16th, we will be canceling all Group Fitness classes due to CDC recommendations.
We are taking it on a day to day basis and will continue to assess the situation as time goes on.
The club is still open and staff is working hard to keep it clean, so feel free to continue to come in and get a workout in. I will be posting some of my favorite at home workouts you can do and some other instructors will as well.
Our personal training staff is offering 3 free one on one personal training sessions, to help with new workout ideas and learning new effective exercises during this time.
Thank you all for being the most supportive fitness family we could hope for!
