Staff is awesome! It is a very clean gym and great atmosphere. You can’t beat that it’s 24 hours. Supps available, trainers, lockers available, showers, posing room, allow chalk, etc!!!! Membership cost is very nice and has multiple options as far as monthly, 3 month, 6 month, etc. Highly recommend Big House Gym!

This gym was very clean and very new looking. They had all types of merchandise and supplements for sale in the gym. There was plenty of space and it wasn’t too crowded. The staff was very nice as well. However, the one downfall is that the doors were locked, even during the staff hours. So, without a key card, it would be hard to go inside and get a pass.August 27, 2022

Solid gym, has most of the equipment a guy or lady would need to liftI liked the idea of nutrition and meals being possible to buyOwner was friendly, always like to see the owner because that to me mean he cares about his companyFor the average guy this place is solid, for a powerlifter it’s C+ On platform, squat racks weren’t tilted so one leg was in front of the other while unracking bar. Bit crowded equipment wise.Better than most gyms I’ve been to in West Des Moines so far

Stopped in today for a back session and got to meet the owner Scott. Super nice dude and was very accommodating as he was the only staff present at the time. Love this gym and I love all the banners hanging up inside, especially the Lions Not Sheep, huge fan. Will definitely be coming back as this gym offers a great environment and has badass equipment. Might even make the jump to calling this my home gym. The 45 minute drive would be well worth it.

If I like a place, I usually will wait for a few visits to make sure it wasn’t a one time thing. This place is no fluke. I’ve talked to Scott and he is amazing! I’m not a member and wanted to pay for a day pass. I noticed that the nutrition shop was closed on the door and turned around thinking they wouldn’t be able to take my money. I no more than got a few steps away and Scott chased me down to tell me to come get a workout in.The facility is incredible. There’s equipment for EVERYONE! I got one of the best workouts I’ve had in a long time and seriously everyone was amazing. I spoke to Scott after my workout and he set me up completely and talked personal training with me (I’m a new PT so I just had some general questions).Like I said, I’m not a member and I live about 30 miles away. With the drive I’m honestly considering becoming one, but I will FOR SURE be coming in again.Thanks Scott!

I got a gym membership on Wednesday, met Scott the owner. Very nice and personal guy, asked him how bringing my girlfriend would work told me about the day pass. It's been really nice people are nice gyms very clean. I've been to many gyms over the years seen people get up in people's faces but here everyone just keeps to themselves. Staff is absolutely amazing.

In town for the week and was recommended this gym from a friend! Great environment, extremely clean and great machines all around. Won’t need anything else for your workouts if you hit up this gym! Also great price for week pass, worth every penny!

Really like this gym. I was visiting from out of town and needed a place that could do a weekly membership. So many gyms are appointment-only and class-driven. I get the appeal of some of that, but for me, I just need a decent place with good equipment and I'll handle the rest.In general, people are there to work out and work out hard.Decent equipment and love their music choices. Very high energy.This gym is powerlifting-friendly and has its own area for chalk. It's nice to see a place that not only allows deadlifts, but has a platform and doesn't blink at chalk-use.Also, I love the mural on one of the main walls painted by a local artist. Very nice work.If I lived in DM, I would get a membership here.
