I absolutely love this gym! The vibes you get from the owner is very welcoming and cares about your health. The other members are friendly and want to help you reach whatever goal you have and make sure you have the right form. I haven't worked out in 8 years and I feel amazing. Great membership prices that fit your budget and they offer great classes. ROC GYM ROCK!

No longer the top gym in the area. They slowly have limited access to the gym by adding locked doors. This gym used to be unique as they had the typical gym with the machines and back gyms with 'box' (crossfit) style areas. This was great for folks who sneak workouts during the day because they can't make classes due to childcare (they no longer provide this either) or work. Now they only offer the front with the machines and no space for free weights. Decreasing the overall value of the gym. Get more access and pay less at Planet Fitness or other gyms in the area.

I started going to Roc Gym to train under Russ O'Connell. I hadn't seriously been to a gym in 10 years (since high school) but wanted to get back into martial arts. I had heard good things about O'Connell and was not disappointed.This is a gym, not a fitness center. There are more weights than treadmills. I consider this a good thing. If you're thinking about joining, don't let that intimidate you.

Best training around by the best coaches in the business. Russ and Kristi have been in the business longer than anyone else in the Cedar Valley. Why? Because they are the best.

I tired this gym while I was home for the summer and I love it! Russ and Kristi will have you in shape in no time! Everyone has made me feel so comfortable too. My only suggestion is that they sweep/sanitize the mats a little more and the showers could use a little TLC. Can't wait to return!
