Joined a wk to see if I like. Nice place, some good pieces of hammer strenght equipment. They let you join month to month which I like, and cheap 5$ day pass. Cardio machines ok... nothing extrodinary. A climber machine would be nice and preform free runner... but avg stair climbers ect. Sauna is small and down times I show up. The weight room, friendly staff and decent crowd does it for me. Nice parking area. If they threw in tanning this place would be ideal for me. Def get money's worth. I'd say 5 stars If lifting is main objective.will def get a month pass.

I highly recommend this gym, especially if you’re from out of town; their day-pass program is fantastic!

I travel to Cedar Rapids from Waterloo several times a year, and before I found this gym, I usually skipped workouts altogether. That always made me feel sluggish and led to poor food choices. Since discovering this place, that’s no longer a problem.

The staff are welcoming, and the facilities are clean and well laid out. There’s a solid mix of cardio equipment, weight machines, and free weights. Everything I need for a complete workout is here. For me, having access to this gym has been a real game changer; helps me stay consistent with fitness, and I leave feeling better about my day.

I needed a box to work out at and found 4 of them within 2 miles of me casa. Elite was 4 tenths of a mile so tried it out. I like this box. All Iowans are friendly and the staffers here are super friendly. One member is always keeping everything clean. Plenty of iso
machines, weights, bikes and treadmills. Give them a try!

Great equipment and friendly staff. Very clean and smells good. Only thing is at night it fills up with teenagers who sit on the equipment watching tik tok but during the day it's an awesome atmosphere

Use to have a lot of broken equipment, but now with new owners a lot of things have been fixed and the atmosphere is really pretty amazing considering the typical gym culture needing a serious "other people still exist" reboot.
Still a few cloggers (2 hours on a machine) and a few people who think it's a tiktok recording studio but it's so much less than other gyms.
This place is as close to perfect as you'll find here and I've been everywhere.

Started going here this summer with a student membership as I go to college in Illinois. They have the perfect summer deal (no contract) for college students! Along with that, the group fitness classes are great. Monday Zumba is so fun and the instructors really make you feel included on the first visit. Other than that, the gym is nice. It is not too busy, there is plenty of equipment, and the people are friendly.

Gone to this gym since I was in high school. I’m only 25, but feel like an old man complaining about all the teenagers taking up equipment all night just to take their shirts off and flex. Very cringy/annoying and will be moving gyms.

This facility recently received new ownership from Elite fitness which has been great. Everything is clean, equipment is being upgraded or repaired and the staff is super friendly. Would love to see some more replacement equipment for some of the older worn out items. Overall I really enjoy this gym and would recommend to anyone.

I was visiting Cedar Rapids for a week, and I decided to join. I had used this facility a couple of years back. The new management was friendly. The rate for the week was quite reaonable. The equipment is varied, although some of the machines (elliptic and recumbent bike) were not as smooth as I've experienced in other facilities. The facility is clean, although some of the patrons did not appear to wipe down the equipment. I will definitely use this fitness center the next time I stay in Cedar Rapids.

The staff was very nice but they could do a better job at showing someone around the gym when they first sign up. They processed my application, took my payment and said "thanks". It's not the worst that could have happened but it would have been nice to be familiarized with where everything is at before I go for my first work out.

Been a member a long time. Things have gone down hill since top shape gym bought this place out. I'm not even kidding, I have low standards but this place has broken equipment, unrepaired seats with worn out leather. Always no towels available (I wanted to donate own I felt bad), paper towels and toiletries are always not replenished. I love this gym because it's like a "average Joe gym" but the conditions of equipment and repair or too dramatic....I'm sorry but I would look elsewhere

I used this gym for a week while visiting cedar rapids. They have a $26 week pass which is pretty affordable. Plenty of equipment and a couple of power racks plus a deadlift platform. (All) Gainz were not lost during this holiday season.

My only gripe is that they seem to be ignoring the pandemic (no mention of vaxxing or masks). At least people seem to be wiping down their equipment.

BE CAREFUL - Paid for 2, 1 year memberships in advance in 2020 and they will not extend my membership into 2021 for the time they were shut down due to COVID which seems only right. I only asked for exact time / duration they were closed no more, no less added to the end of my family's membership. First off the person I was talking with didn't even address my concern and then I pushed again and a flat out NO - Poor customer service. Between this place and The Mac, awful selection in CR

Great gym! Everything you need and its 24/7, all the free weights and machines you need to get a solid lift in! Saw a few complaints on here and I don't understand it....... If you want to be babied and have staff check in you every 5 seconds look into a personal trainer or perhaps a online Jenny Craig program with some therapy classes afterwards.

They terminated my membership after I asked them 2x how exactly they were handling my dues, aka how much they planned to charge me for the next month. The first answer was vague, just said I would get a credit, then also.said my membership fee would be prorated. Just because I asked them the second time if they would explain to me what that looks like specifically, they got mad and terminated me.

I have worked out at Northland Fitness for 3-4 years. Very affordable memberships. The staff is amazing! The owner takes suggestions and often times adds requested equipment. They have several personal trainers & a number of classed you can participate in. And lastly, in my experience, most members (me included), will always help a fellow member. Need a spot... give me a shout. Highly recommended!

Equipment too crowded together. Never anyone to answer questions or give direction. Now seems to be geared to body builders more than the average person looking to better their health.

Pretty much average Joe's gym. Not very intimidating. Lots of various cardio equipment on one side. Free weights on the other with wall between so not too much creepin. Lots of new machines too. Pretty cheap rates for what you get. Locker rooms have a sauna. 24/7 access.

Great gym. Lots of space with a recently expanded free weights area. Very well kept up, excellent membership price and a responsive staff. 24/7 access is another great perk. Plentiful cardio and weight equipment.

I go for the dance cardio class which I love. The room they have for classes is really nice but the gym is very basic. Always clean but not much of a polished fit and finish or special features. It has the feel of a much larger hotel gym.

Great prices, nice staff & clean workout area & locker rooms. There are always enough machines/person but I usually go really early or really late. Classes are included in membership which isn't the case at most places, wanting to nickel & dime you. I have 24/7 access without paying an arm & a leg for the privilege.

Went in to cancel my membership, had to argue with the lady and repeatedly tell her I wanted to cancel my membership. It wasn't until I got rude with her and said I was on a work break and that she was wasting my time, that she finally shut up and quit saying "no" and stopped harassing me. She even took out a calculator to tell me the kind of deal I was getting after I had said "no" 3 times. Unreal. I'm sorry, but if I say "please cancel my membership" I don't expect to be argued with and have to repeatedly tell them I want to cancel. Terrible experience.

Nice assortment of equipment. Usually not to busy when I get there and it is early, but find that a lot of the timethe locker room is somewhat dirty. Notice a lot of members that don't clean off equipment as well.
