The gym itself is great, but the front desk staff are much to be desired. Always joking around way to much and not taking there job seriously. The Ben guy and Ella are always messing around and being so unserious.

I like this gym but am not happy with some recent changes. I signed up for the basic gym membership that includes access to the open gym and a bunch of classes (yoga, pilates, kickboxing, etc.). They randomly (without any warning or communication to members), cut out all access to yoga classes and want to charge an additional $35/month to participate in them. This is something that was included in my original price that I agreed to and was the main reason I signed up for this gym. I am disappointed that I am expected to pay the same price with less access than before or almost double my monthly membership cost to have the same original access.

Too expensive at $50 a month and too full during some peak hours, but still a great gym, great atmosphere, and great staff.

Best equipment in town, none of that prehistoric, bent, rust covered junk you see at locations to be unnamed in town. Great owner, great staff. Free general fitness classes, saunas, 4 squat racks in the general fitness area, dumbbells almost up to 200lbs, deadlift platform with bumper plates, 8 station Hammer strength cable machine and another 4 station cable machine. Leg extension and seated/lying leg curl machines, treadmills, bikes, rowers, quadruple the plate loaded equipment of PF. Top choice, hands down.

Great gym except for how difficult it is to cancel a membership. It should not require a multi-step process cancel.

Clean and well-kept facility. Staff is very friendly! They offer several classes that are free with membership. Locker room is also very tidy. Only issue is that some machines have a tendency to break down a lot.

(Free trial based review.)
This gym is priced fairly. The staff were all helpful and friendly. The workout areas and locker rooms were clean and well maintained.

The area for classes has a lot of room. If classes are what you're looking for this is probably the place for you.

The posted pricing is misleading. the only time you actually pay monthly is the yearly membership.
I requested a membership of less than a year to get a better feel for the gym. I was told by staff that I'd have to pay the combined months including the membership fee in a lump sum during sign up.

The equipment is high quality and well kept. There just isn't enough of it.

Why didn't I join after my free trial?

As someone that has their own independent routine, I find the general workout area to be very cramped.There was no way for me to work out without being in someone else's way. My entire experience felt incredibly cluttered and awkward.

The room with squat racks is very close quarters. The designated spot for deadlifts is in the center of the squat racks. It reminded me of being in a center spotlight on the main stage without any involved party consenting to this show.
The area with dumbbells and mirrors to observe your form wasn't large enough for more than three people to do so at once.

As with my other observations the locker room was incredibly small. I was in someone else's way while only two of us were present.

I'm not a big fan of the hours. I enjoy the gyms that allow me to enter freely with a keycard. I had high hopes for Volv because it's in the downtown area.

After my free trial I received many phone calls. When I finally answered I was met with high spirits on the other end of the line. They asked if I'd be interested in coming back. I told them no and explained why. The tone of the conversation flipped instantly and I was informed my concerns would be passed along. Sorry for breaking your spirit that day, mate.

If you work normal hours by societal standards and aren't as critical as I am, this gym is likely fine for you. I'm just here to share my blunt but honest review.

Overall a very nice facility. Very clean and overall very nice staff. They have basically one of each lifting machines you would need in a workout plus dumbbells, workout classes, cardio machines etc. the facility is a little small though so try to avoid busy times if you don’t want to wait for equipment! Overall very nice and would recommend to someone new to the area.

Very nice gym, and I would love to give it 5 stars. But, unfortunately I can only give it 3 stars because of the vulgar music that they play. Absolutely no reason to play music with so much swearing in it.

Great gym. Scummy business practices.

I know this is somewhat on me for not reading the entire contract, but I thought it was just a typical gym monthly membership agreement. The only thing that was verbally explained to me was the ~$70 down paymentβ€”which was fine. About 8 months in, I ended up moving from Dubuque to Anamosa for work and didn’t notify till 5 days after my payment cycle, bummer. Even more of a bummer when I had to pay for the month after that because it takes 30 DAYS to process my cancellation request. Even MORE of a bummer when an additional $150 early termination charge came through with the other charge. Apparently I signed a yearly agreement without knowing. So in the end I payed for about 5 months of membership I would never be able to use.

The reason I’m giving 2 and not 1 star is because it’s a neat gym, came with nice benefits, friendly employees, and I signed the agreement so it’s on me at the end of the day. However, there was just so many unnecessary payments at the end that ruined it for me.

So in summary, if you’re a long term resident of Dubuque, this is the gym for you. If you’re a college student or won’t be there for long, probably going to waste some money near the end of your membership.

This gym is the nicest in Dubuque. Gym membership is a good price, it’s clean, nicely spaced out, and staff is friendly. The classes that come with the general membership are nice. Best $ for the value, if you’re questioning it they have many different membership options and a couple trials.

Easily one of my favorite gyms. When I first moved to Dubuque, this was the first gym I tried, tried others, but they weren’t as good as Volv (was called True Fitness at the time). Staff is friendly and have a diverse selection of equipment.

The gym is clean.. the people are very friendly. Try a cross fit or Focus workout. There are classes for hot yoga, plates. Enjoy a recovery protein smoothie. Personally, I like the peanut butter but you choose whatever rocks your world after a hard workout. Shout out to Cassie..you can try her classes as well

If you are looking for a gym that offers classes, personal training, free weights and clean environment I highly recommend Volv. In addition, Volv gym has a great atmosphere, quality equipment and knowledgeable staff. It's the best gym in Dubuque and the surrounding area. Check it out!

I was slowly making the transition over to more at-home fitness workout programs, and as monotonous as those programs could get, there simply weren't any local gyms that were much better. That is, until I discovered True Fitness. The Focus program was exactly what I was looking for in terms of intensity and continual variation of workouts. I'm a little over a month in and I'm very happy with the decision to join. As other reviews have stated, Kory does a great job with the Focus program - he provides just the right amount of encouragement (and harassment) to keep you moving. The front desk team I've interacted with (Amanda and Heather) also make you feel welcomed. Very happy with my experience so far!

I’m visiting from out of town. I looked up this gym a few day before I arrived in Dubuque.The staff is friendly and professional. The areas are well maintained and clean. They have a variety of classes (Group fitness classes, CrossFit, and more that I don’t remember) and plenty of equipment (Free weights, strength machines, and cardio) to choose from. Never extremely busy. I would recommend this to anyone visiting.

I really liked it at True when I used to be a member there. I didn't use the open gym area, I liked taking the fitness classes. Most of the classes offered at True are only in the evenings. I would still be a member there if they had morning and noon classes. It's unfortunate because I did enjoy it there. Now I'm a member at the YMCA because of the wide array of classes offered and times available.

It's been a long time sense I enjoyed going to the gym. It had become a had to for so many reasons instead of a want to! Kory and Focus have made all the difference. I am in love with that class and his workouts, so much so that I actually get up and get to the 5:30am class! No matter the time of day the rest of the staff is very welcoming, the gym and equipment are top notch! I highly recommend! Thank you Kory!
