Simple - Balanced - Reasonable Since September 2007, Xpressive Fitness 24/365 has served the downtown Urbandale neighborhood and beyond. We provide not just a convenient and inviting atmosphere in which to workout but an environment to learn how to best exercise. All fitness centers have equipment but we at Xpressive Fitness 24/365 have created various programs, instructional tools, and personal service unmatched in the Des Moines metro health club scene.
We chose the name Xpressive Fitness because it is descriptive of what we do. We are expressive in showing you HOW to exercise and not just a place to exercise.
Check out the topic buttons to the left to learn more about what we are all about. Technology is great, but exercise is all about people taking the next step which is followed by another step and another. It simply comes down to MOVING. Let us help you obtain your health goals safely, effectively, and efficiently. Call me anytime at 515-577-1492. Dean Ponder Owner and Trainer
Top Ten Reasons Xpressive Fitness may be Your Best Bet
1. Never Crowded - No orbiting for a parking space, hunting for a locker, hovering for a cardio machine, or establishing your territory in the weight room.
2. Non-intimidating - The club is designed for the non-exerciser, not for those that fitness is their main hobby. The latest leotards, muscle shirts, blaring techno-music or grunts coming from the weight area does not exist here at Xpressive.
3. We Never Close - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, plus management is always available for tours and training 7 days a week.
4. Always Clean - We have a passion for fitness but an obsession for cleanliness. It looks, smells, and stays in order thanks to our respectful members. (and elves at night)
5. Professional Staff - One of the most knowledgeable and experienced personal trainer and conditioning experts calls Xpressive home. Your FREE access to program development and exercise instruction is second to none in Central Iowa. Unlike some clubs that personal trains a 62 year old man the same as a 28 year old female, we mean personal. Every program is different since every one is different. Various packages available. Check out personal training link.
6. Lowest Price yet Highest Service - Usually "you get what you pay for". Not at Xpressive, you get WAY more than you pay for. We know the bottom line to stay in business and price accordingly because we're here to make a living, not a killing.
7. No Contracts that locks a person to 12, 24, or even 36 months to get the best monthly price with Unlimited Freeze Policy - If other health clubs even allow you to freeze your membership it's usually a maximum of 3 months per year with a monthly maintenance cost. Not so here, plus no rejoining fees if you do cancel your membership and you rejoin.
8. Urbandale's only family owned and operated fitness center with all income staying in the community.
9. High Tech Meets Old School - We're not jumping on the latest fitness fad but use tried and true methods that work! The verdict is not out on many new methods of training, especially the ones from the past. We use our professional fitness knowledge to critique programs before we apply it for our members.
10. No Aggressive Sales People - We give prices over the phone, you don't receive a high pressure sales pitch, we will never hound you to join and once you join you won't be solicited to add over-priced personal training or buy supplements.
