Elite Fitness CR Blairs Ferry

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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 …
