Great space, great people, great coaches, extremely clean and personable. I feel comfortable and achieve goals! Definitely the best CrossFit gym because coaches care about you and want you to have the best experience!

From a beginner’s perspective... Coming from an ultra running background I had zero knowledge of lifting, but wanted to get into CrossFit and so I joined Iridium. This is a great gym to learn all of the basics, they provide everything and you can pretty much just step into the gym and start the prescribed workout. I found the workouts to be scalable for different fitness levels and challenging enough to keep me humbled. I found the 5:30AM workouts to be a lot more challenging and faster paced, the 6:30AM workouts tend to be a bit more casual, smaller sized and more time was focused on getting form correct (as opposed to finishing as many activities as possible), this was great for me as a beginner. If anyone decides to get into lifting in a safe way, I think Iridium CrossFit is an amazing place to start. Did I also mention that they host competitions? Really great community, they also host side events like painting and food drives. Highly recommend Iridium for both beginners and also people who have years of experience. I want to give a huge shout out to coaches Adam and Billy for their contagious passion for CrossFit and their keen eye on form and the countless times that they were able to improve my technique significantly. Maybe my only complaint is that I feel like the workouts aren’t long enough. I wish there were more 45 min+ blocks of continuous exercise. Instead, there is like 45 min of stretching, accessory lifts, strength and warm ups before the actual workout which was usually only 10-15 minutes long (albeit, very intense). Less
Excellent instruction. Positive and inviting atmosphere.
Great athletes always working hard and inspiring others.
Highly recommend Iridium! This place is for all levels of fitness and is a great community of people.
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.
One of the best CrossFit boxes that I have ever been to. Very friendly environment and you feel welcome. As for the training program, It is very helpful and you will see the progress during your first month.
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.
Awesome Gym with good coaches, programming and equipment. It was also easy to join and get started.
Great coaches, amazing people, amazing workouts. 10/10 every time.
The coaches are amazing, they will work at your pace and encourage you to keep working towards goals. The environment is very spacious and relaxed. I always feel very comfortable even at the very beginning.
This place is AMAZING! Classes are great, people are great, and coaches are great!
I found an incredible gym and community in Iridium when I moved to Ames last August. The coaches were the nicest and most welcoming people, and very good at improving overall technique. Having not known anyone when I moved to Ames, I quickly made a few friends through Iridium that I was also able to see outside of the gym. I highly recommend it for any new and experienced Crossfitters in the Ames... More

i can't think of a better way to start my day then to grind it out with my friends at Iridium Crossfit!
Such an awesome environment and community of good hearted folks!!!!
I was intimidated by the Crossfit workout style, but I've been going to this gym for a couple of years now and love the community and the workouts – a good mix of fun & challenging! Coaching staff is welcoming & knowledgeable, definitely recommend joining Iridium crossfit
You will break out of your comfort zone, improve your physical and mental well-being, make new friends and occasionally, as you lie on the floor panting while considering which to do first - puke or pass out, question why you keep coming back - everything you’d expect from an elite box!
Iridium CrossFit is a great place to start working out if you are inexperienced, experienced, or just need a good workout! Great staff, environment, and have definitely changed my life. Check out if you haven’t already!
Iridium Crossfit is an amazing place. Coaches are knowledgeable and professional. I have some knee issues and they modify my workouts to get the best out of my workout. I would reccomend that people try it whether you are new to crossfit or have been doing crossfit for awhile.
Great programming! Great culture! Great workouts!
