I began my CrossFit Journey here in 2014 and have been forever grateful for the life-changing experiences this place and the people have afforded me. The owners of Iridium began their On-Ramp at the same time as I did, and I am SO PROUD of what this place has become over the past ten years.

Great facility, coaching, and workout programming. Very friendly coaches and members.

Really nice gym, very welcoming for teens and adults. Recommend it!

Prior to Iridium CrossFit I was going through the motions of the same workout routine I have done for the past 4 years. All I did was power lift and I struggled outside of the gym doing things I love like mountain biking. Iridium has sparked my love for working out again with amazing coaches, gym and workout program. I can feel myself gaining functional strength, flexibility and endurance.

Iridium CrossFit is a very welcoming place. From the day I started, everyone knows me by name and have welcomed me into their gym. I would recommend trying them out!

Iridium is my family’s home away from home. Being a recent mom, the coaches helped me through my whole pregnancy and post-partum journey, modifying and encouraging me through the entire process. I came for the workout, but stayed for the people!!

Great gym with amazing coaches, great community, and an overall great environment to be at. You will be able to achieve so much!!

Love this gym! Great people and great location!

Great gym and community of people!

Best gym ever! Coaches are amazing, they’re motivating, personable, and knowledgeable. I love it here!

Could not recommend Iridium CrossFit enough! Love the atmosphere and community! All the coaches are very knowledgeable and have every athletes best interest in mind. I’ve gone through a few health crisis and have come back to the gym where everyone has open arms and is always cheering each other on!

I couldn’t ask for a better gym, coaches, owners, and community. This place is my second home and no matter what I always leave in the best mood. This gym is really one of a kind! You’ll never regret coming here!

Great gym all around coaches are friendly and helpful, equipment is well up to date and there's plenty to go around.

If you are looking to make your health and fitness a priority again, have fun!, and be apart of an amazing community and gym family. Then you need to get down to Iridium Crossfit located in Ames IA. The owners/Coaches Bret, Cara, Heath, and Lindsey are amazing. Their Gym is a cut above the rest. You can't ask for a better staff and facility to help you accomplish any of your physical goals.

I love Iridium CrossFit!! It’s home to me. The coaches are great. The workouts are easily scaled or modified to fit your needs and abilities. You will not find a better group of people anywhere else.

Great gym to go to

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.

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!
