"Never in a million years thought I would be in a class setting let alone stick with it as "gym-timidation" always got the best of me. Sisu is a straightforward, streamlined approach to help you achieve all of your goals (nutrition, workouts, etc.) in and outside of the gym. An uplifting community that holds you accountable and helps you unlock a new potential within yourself. Take it from me, someone who used to fear the gym to now, someone who can't imagine life without it, Sisu is THE place best place to be a member."
"Great environment to workout"

"I became a member of Sisu early 2023 from the recommendation of Jake Pawol, owner of Fortitude & Freedom. Nick, Jeff and new coach Lexi care about each person they have an opportunity to work with. My favorite part is they really take the time to get to know you and remember the small things about you and they are hilarious! They also take feedback well and it shows when they talk about their programming. The coaches are not shy to correct you on your form and educate you. The education and support will also come from the older members when the coaches are helping a new member. I will be leaving DSM in a few weeks and wish I could take this community and gym with me so do yourself a favor and join Sisu because you will be in great hands!!"

"Are you in need of a change & new challenge? I strongly recommend trying SISU! I’d had my eye on this gym for a while, and I finally took the leap about a month ago. I can’t say enough good things about my experience so far!
First off - if you’re anything like me (aka - a little socially awkward), it can be very intimidating to walk into a new gym all alone. But the members at SISU are truly amazing. I had so many people ask my name & introduce themselves during that first week, and everyone has been so welcoming & encouraging. It’s truly unlike anything else I’ve experienced.
The trainers hold the entire team accountable, the workouts are challenging, and you’ll find yourself pushing past your limits. A lot of the weightlifting exercises are new to me, but every time I’m feeling a little lost, Nick or Jeff are quickly by my side helping me with form/re-explaining the exercise. It’s like they have a 6th sense & always know who is struggling/needs some help. If they are busy, you can almost always count on another member to jump in to help.
I feel re-energized & excited about going to the gym! If you’re in a funk or just need to get started, I strongly recommend you give SISU a try!"

"If you have been sitting on the fence about joining a gym THIS is your call to action. Whether you are trying to start lifting for the first time, wanting to increase your endurance as a long time athlete, or wanting to find a solid community of supportive teammates this is your gym! The coaches here know their stuff and are there to help you no matter your goals."
"This gym is awesome! 5 years plus out of the game and they made me feel at home. Jeff and Nick are great coaches. The community has a great positive vibe. The views are the cherry on the cake."
"Excellent gym and wonderful people. Coaches were very helpful and encouraging."

"Joining SISU Strength Academy has been one of the best decisions my wife and I have made. You always hear about a sense of community in gyms, but SISU takes this to another level completely. The focus on mental toughness and teamwork in every class is unmatched in the Des Moines area. The programming is excellent and well thought out by the coaches with a focus on strength. The coaches are so knowledgeable and I have learned so much from them and the cues they give during class. It often feels like 1-on-1 training even though it's a group class. If you are looking to push yourself and be pushed both mentally and physically, while being part of a tight-knit brother/sisterhood of members, this is the perfect gym for you!"
