Top Shape Gym in North Liberty earns a solid four stars for its comprehensive fitness offerings and generally positive atmosphere. It's a well-equipped facility that caters to a wide range of fitness goals, from casual gym-goers to serious athletes. The variety of equipment, including a substantial free weight area and a diverse selection of cardio machines, is impressive.
The gym's cleanliness is commendable, and the staff is typically friendly and approachable. While not always readily available for in-depth assistance, they maintain a helpful presence. The group fitness classes are a highlight, offering a good mix of intensity and variety, and the instructors are generally energetic and motivating.
What prevents a full five stars? The gym can get quite crowded during peak hours, making it challenging to access certain equipment. Also, while the overall maintenance is good, some machines occasionally experience downtime. A few more consistent updates to the older equipment would be appreciated.
Despite these minor drawbacks, Top Shape Gym provides a solid fitness experience. The welcoming environment, combined with the extensive equipment and class options, makes it a valuable asset to the North Liberty community. It's a reliable place to achieve your fitness goals.

So much potential here! Very great lighting, lots of space, kinda dirty, sauna was broken, holes in walls, missing mirrors, missing lights, ceiling open, thick dust, ladies room was not very cleanly. I was a member here during 2017-2019 and was excited to join again since moving back to the area. Hope they find good staff for the gym because it has a lot of potential. I loved seeing people I knew it from before. Just needs a lot of TLC. Best place to go in north liberty if they kept it clean. Switched to the North Liberty Rec few blocks away instead of here and it’s way better.

This place is an absolute joke of a gym. Minimal equipment (unlike CR and QC) The equipment is atrocious and broken half the time, the bathroom reeks of piss, terrible body spray, and funky body odor. At the prices they charge, they should be ashamed for the terrible quality and lack of equipment. I honestly cannot believe people pay to be a member here. It’s almost as if this location is an afterthought and just a way to milk money out of people.

This place has gone down hill since they got bought out. Unfriendly staff encounters (especially with Carmen) and Ive heard lots of complaints about the “manager” Jori. The gym is musty, and unclean. Equipment is not well maintained either. Half of the machines don’t work. No one cares about the upkeep of this place. Lots of other options available in the area with more affordable pricing and better amenities.

my husband and I have been members here for almost ten years.
love the space. There’s room for everything you wanna do even if it’s busy you can usually make a good workout without waiting. They have fixed the two nicer ellipticals, so I am happy !
I appreciate the updates that have been coming: the toilets 👌🏽, sauna heater, new equipment that has come/been repaired. I mean we all know it’s just an old building/equipment and you can only change so much so fast, so thank you!

I do have to say, my husband and i aren’t a fan of the manager, Jorie, either. I’ve seen other reviews of the same feelings it sounds like. Maybe she is just direct but just showing kindness and knowing how to communicate can go a long way!
We’re all just trying to be happy and healthy in life ♥️
**with that said I do see her actively cleaning the gym and going around organizing things, so seems like she takes care of things.
Just wanted to leave a fair review from our perspective.

There's a ton of recent negative reviews. I joined today and used the weight area. I saw several people using the cardio equipment.
Talking to staff they have had to buy several new pieces of equipment.
I thought it was nice here. I didn't see all the stuff that the other negative reviews were talking about.
Maybe it won't be for you but I encourage you to at least check it out. See if you can do a walk around before signing up.
I wouldn't write this place off based on the other negative reviews.

4 stars because it's not perfect. There are better gyms of course but this is perfect for us.

August '22 Update: Perhaps since y'all closed the Mormen Trek location (but kept monthly rates the same for all members), you could work on fixing or replacing the busted equipment here. That would be wonderful.

Great selection of equipment and usually not too busy. When equipment, or the steam room, or a toilet breaks, expect it to be 3-ish months to get fixed. Steam room also appears to potentially never have been cleaned.

This place has a lot of potential, but it's clearly neglected. It's dirty, there are parts of the celling missing all around, the saunas barely get warm, equipment breaks (a cable snapped while I was working out and I'm lucky I didn't get more than just a bruise). I have luckily never had a bad run in with staff though.

I joined this place years ago when they worked Core fitness. It was 24hour, beautiful , and clean and not to far from my home. It has now turn into a night mare. The new owners just use it as a investment property. They truly don't care about it . There is a strong odor throughout building. It is horrendous. It is like evetything broken , No ventilation musty , urine smell everin locker rooms, steam room broke, ceiling falling apart Everywhere.

Hard to enjoy your workout when half the cardio equipment is not working or unplugged for whatever reason and you don’t realize it until you get on and are ready to begin. Some weight equipment missing the handle to change weight amount. Great environment. Love the look but equipment not being fixed for months on end makes it difficult to spend my money here.

The gym itself is fine. My only frustration is that I paid for the extra fee for the kids club and I just drove all the way out here with my 2 year old daughter and they told me that the person who watches kids just left. The hrs of operation are supposed to be 4:30 - 6:30 and I came it at 5:30. I'm so disappointed I couldn't work out. They told me that I have to call ahead of time. Which is fine, but if this is a service that I pay for you would think they would have staffing for the advertised hours of operation? Basically they don't tell you that kids club only operates when the staff feel like working, not when they are supposed to.

Top Shape Gym overcharged me for my membership, declined to credit me for the amount I was overcharged, and required that I pay enrollment fees again in order to not continuously be overcharged. When TSG purchased the gym I attended, they immediately slashed staffed hours and cut benefits that were afforded under the previous gym owner, like the ability to bring a free guest. They initiated their pricing scheme at the gym but allowed the members that carried over from the previous owner to continue paying higher prices to attend the same gym with reduced benefits. They would not let me switch to their new pricing scheme without canceling my old account and charging me $80 enrollment fees even though I've already paid enrollment fees.

After recently moving here and working out at the Top Shape in Cedar Rapids I was excited to try out a new gym. This is a very appealing gym and looks great. Unfortunately there have been several occasions where I have been using the punching bag in the room that is used primarily for classes. Two times I have been rudely asked to leave because a class was starting. Both times the classes have contained no more than 5 students and on one occasion it consisted of only one person. A staff member here even came and started to detach the punching bag without even asking if I was done using it? This was frustrating as I consider myself a very clean person in the gym and believe that if I take care of my weights and equipment in the gym they will take care of me. Confused why this top shape can’t either relocate the kickboxing bag into the rarely used yoga room or allow some space for others to work instead of using a room that takes up a great deal of the gym space for a one person solo workout. I pay my gym membership just like everyone else, I would like to use the equipment that I am paying for instead of being kicked off of it for a one person class. So far this gym has been very disappointing.

If I could rate it lower, I most definitely would! TERRIBLE customer relations by management and owners. When questions arise, they are nearly impossible to talk with, not because they are out of the gym, but rather, because they would prefer not to be bothered. Emails will go unanswered, phone calls will not be returned, and questions will be deferred by front desk staff. The actual gym was once in great shape and well maintained; now, there are holes in the walls and equipment is not up kept. Once my "go-to" gym; now looking to replace.

I joined Core because they have a sauna and that’s part of my self-care managing chronic Lyme. I started taking yoga classes, which I really like, and they added Pilates (yay!!) in September. I enjoy the instructors thus far. I did my jumpstart with Adrienne, and she had me do a great workout that got me going with a different workout design. If you need a trainer, she’s great, and the next day you will know you worked out with her! She did lots of customization for me as well, which was appreciated. I love that you don’t have obnoxious bright lighting. The free weight area is nice. I like that it’s not over crowded because some places put too much in a small space. I like the rowing machine. The staff at NL is great and I’d highly recommend it.

Attempting to cancel my membership. Barely used it. After two emails, the management will apparently not allow any cancellation except by filling out a form in person in the club. They re-sent me a copy of my initial contract to 'remind' me that I had agreed to this when I signed up. This lack of flexibility is not acceptable. Good thing I haven't moved away, but what if I had? I am a busy resident at the hospital, working 80 hours per week. Probably many of their members are residents. They should get to know the needs of their members more- it is not a trivial thing for us to have to make a separate trip, take another half hour or more away from our families just to sign a piece of paper in person. I would recommend against joining this gym if you are a person, like me, who needs flexibility.

The price here is really nice compared to most gyms that I've tried before. The student discount makes the price even lower which is awesome. I like that they have a women's only section. Still need to try their smoothies though!

The machines and facilities need updating. Machines are commonly broke and take forever to get fixed. The plates are never organized and sometimes hard to find. Some of the personal trainers are great, while others are not very perso able and will take equipment and not return it when they are done with their client. It has a steam room that is commonly out of order, and a sauna that they tell you not to humidify. The kids club, womens only room (I've never been in it but hear it is nice), and classes are the reason NL Core gets 3 stars and not 2.
