iGYM

• Spacious and Clean
• 24 Hours
• Nice Locker Rooms and Showers
• Modern Equipment
• 3 Locations

iGYM is a local fitness center with three convenient locations around the city. It is spacious, well-equipped with modern fitness machines, and always extremely clean. All three locations have a large primary fitness room where machines are arranged along the outer walls and down the center. They also have clean locker rooms and showers for a conveniently complete workout routine. You can change into your gym clothes and don't have to go home sweaty.

The staff are well known for their friendliness and best of all, the gyms are open 24 hours to fit any schedule.

Custom Fitness

• Diverse Dedicated Rooms
• 24 Hours
• Childcare
• Classes

Custom Fitness is the most popular gym in the region with one location that is also open 24 hours. Unlike iGYM, it has multiple rooms, each one beautifully appointed for the purpose. The elliptical room has a textured carpet and mirror walls for traction and focus. The Cardio Kickboxing Room and Boxing Room have heavy bags for practice. There's a wood-floored dance room, a heavy lifting room with machines and safety cages, and a Kid's Club for safe, active play while parents work out. You can take Tae Kwon Do classes, join a Pilates class, or get active with Zumba.

For a touch of luxury, you'll find a steam room, sauna, hot tub, and wading pool. All in all, it's a great gym with everything you need for a full workout, no matter what your fitness style might be.

The M.A.C Xtreme

• Huge Diverse Fitness Center
• 5 AM - 9 PM
• Sport Courts, Olympic Pool, Sauna
• Childcare
• Classes

The Midwest Athletic Club, or The MAC, is a huge facility with something for everybody. In fact, their motto is "Every. Body." and they stand behind that with a wide range of activities, spaces, and equipment. The lifting equipment and cardio machines are only the beginning. The sports courts include a full-sized basketball court and racketball courts. There's an obstacle course for "functional training" and an electric body composition scanner. There's a kids' club for active childcare and a women-only cardio and lifting space. There's an Olympic swimming pool for laps, a sauna, and a frost room for heat therapy, and the "recover room" has massage chairs.

You can sign up for classes or a personal trainer or show up anytime and just start working out. There are also three other sub-locations that are open 24 hours, while the primary location is open from 5 AM to 9 PM.

Top Shape Gym CR

Orange Theory Fitness

• Small and Focused

Orange Theory gyms can often be found in smaller facilities in strip malls which makes them accessible to residents in local neighborhoods. Their equipment is bright orange to match the theme with a friendly, supportive vibe. This is achieved with a class-focused routine where members get the most from joining by signing up for classes that may focus on strength, endurance, power, and Orangetheory zones to match your routine to your fitness level.

This class-style approach gives Orange Theory a focused energy that many find uplifting and encouraging.

Fitness without a Gym Membership

Of course, you don't need a gym membership if you live in the right Cedar Rapids apartment. If your apartment community has a fitness center, you can grab some intense cardio and do a strength training routine all within a short walk from home - and without the sometimes-high cost of a gym membership. While there are some great gyms in Cedar Rapids, we make fitness easy at Granite Valley apartments with a dedicated fitness center available to all residents.
