"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!"

"I can't say enough good things about this gym! From the moment I walked in, the welcoming and encouraging vibe was undeniable. The team atmosphere is exceptional, and the coaches are direct, no-nonsense, and ready to push you beyond your limits. They truly believe in you more than you believe in yourself at times, and that encouragement is priceless. Every class offers something different, making each workout both challenging and invigorating. If you're looking for a place to push your boundaries and feel amazing doing it, this gym is the perfect fit!"

"I absolutely love this place. I've been to quite a few gyms, I prefer group exercise but with a strength focus, and this checks all of the boxes for me. Many group settings don't offer much for growth and the workouts start to feel monotonous and predictable, but that is not the case at sisu. In addition, the trainers really focus on form (which I am delighted to see as a chiro!) and promote an overall healthy lifestyle. Highly recommend checking this place out!"

"I was a runner, had always been a runner and would always be a runner. I had convinced myself that I didn’t need strength training and I was plenty fit just running. I tried SISU after prompting from my husband in order to improve my running and prevent running injuries. SISU’s programming and coaches has not only made me overall more fit, strong, and lean, but has improved my running tremendously even though I run way less now than I did before joining Sisu. If you are looking for an amazing gym and community that pushes you and expects your best all while meeting you where you are at then SISU is the place for you."
"By far the best gym in town. Personal attention at each class from the owners. Highly recommended."

"Stepping (WAY) out of my comfort zone and joining SISU has been one of the best decisions. Having never strength trained and not knowing anyone it was a super intimidating space. From the minute I walked in the door I felt at home. The coaches, Jeff and Nick, are truly amazing and have helped me learn so much. And the people/community were all so welcoming. I appreciate the level of accountability and high standards Jeff and Nick hold you (and themselves) to. I’ve learned from them a big piece of your progress is your mindset and that will be something I can take with me wherever I go."

"The best gym and best fitness experience I've been apart of! The challenging and competitive nature is hard to beat with coaches who care. Sad to leave due to moving away, but Sisu will always hold a special place in my heart!"
