What Our Clients Have to Say
“Iridium is a great gym if you’re just starting out or a seasoned pro. Their facilities are extremely clean, and the coaches are all very friendly and knowledgeable. The coaches were very helpful when I had to modify workouts around an injury.
Great coaches, great culture, great workouts.”
Megan Bailey
“Very comfortable gym with a welcoming community and excellent coaching. I had to travel to Ames during the Open and wasn’t sure how that would go. They bent over backward to make sure that I was able to do the workout the way I wanted to, when I wanted to do it and with a judge. I couldn’t recommend them more highly – I will definitely be back.”
Mark Peters
