Excellent gym with great people. The workouts vary but are always challenging. As well as frequent challenges to measure growth. Definitely would recommend to anyone.
One of my favorite things about Krave is that I can show up, put in the work, and not have to think about planning a workout! The workouts are challenging, always changing, and keep things fun. I love how they structure the different seasons so there's always something new to work toward and it never feels repetitive. And the coaches? THE BEST!
I absolutely love Krave! As a former college athlete, one of the things I missed most after graduating was having that competitive, team-oriented atmosphere, and Krave has brought that feeling back for me!

If you’re looking for a gym that will push you to grow and achieve your goals, I cant recommend Krave Gym enough. The knowledge is unmatched and if you’re like me and need to be pushed to do a little extra cardio, I highly encourage you to at the very least to hit a session and check it out.
Love going to Krave! The coaches not only keep me motivated but the other athletes as well! Such a welcoming community of all different fitness levels! The nutrition program is a must, I have learned so much from it! Absolutely recommend to anyone!

Thank you so much, Vicki!!!
I attended my first training session here a little over a month ago, and this is probably some of the best work I’ve gotten in a group training setting! The program had strong theme and direction while making sure to feel fresh and really differentiated from day to day, and even through multiple weeks. The coaches here were really effective too, it felt like I was guided through the workout pretty effortlessly which let me focus on just doing good work, even on the different drills and exercises I hadn’t seen before! The space and other athletes were both really welcoming towards me too, with the facilities fostering that growth in new and familiar movements! It’s exciting to see what’s coming next!
Thank you for the great review, Parker! We love having you on the Krave TEAM!
I can't say enough good things about Krave Gym Ankeny! I know the owner, Amber, personally, and I can tell you firsthand how much she genuinely cares about her athletes and their success. She puts her whole heart into this gym and wants nothing more than to see people reach their goals and become the best version of themselves. She's passionate about what she does, works incredibly hard, and is always looking for ways to make Krave better for her athletes. That kind of passion and personal investment is hard to find. If you're looking for a gym where you're more than just a number, Krave is it!
Thank you, Katie! Love having you on the Krave Gym Team!!!
Krave has been one of the best things I’ve ever done to better myself. 🤍 For the first time ever, I’ve realized that I don’t HAVE to work out every. single. day. I don’t HAVE to take Pilates or all the fancy workout classes just because I thought, as a woman, that’s what I had to do to look and feel my best. The guidance Amber and all of the coaches at Krave have given me has completely changed the way I look at fitness. I’m learning how to actually fuel my body, get stronger, rest when I need to, and stop feeling like I have to constantly do more. LOVE LOVE LOVE KRAVE!
Thank you for the review, Katelyn! Watching you get stronger, build confidence, and learn how to fuel your body has been amazing! We're so proud of the work you've put in and love having you on our TEAM! Keep crushing it! 💪
I absolutely love Krave Gym! The atmosphere is so welcoming and motivating. Everyone is encouraging and supportive! The workouts are challenging but so worth it! I love that every session is different and pushes me to work harder than I would on my own.
Catarina! Thank you so much for the review! We love having you on the TEAM! Keep up the great work! 💪
