As one of the largest franchise gym companies in the world, it makes perfect sense that another Snap Fitness club joins the collar-free movement. Welcome, Snap Fitness Spirit Lake, Iowa.

Spirit Lake sits in the Iowa Great Lakes region, a community that takes its fitness seriously. The newest Snap Fitness location there has arrived with a clear ambition: to bring big-city gym standards to a place that does not usually get them. Early members have noticed. One reviewer put it plainly: "Very good gym, belongs in a big city truly."


Snap Fitness Spirit Lake offers 24/7 access, a full strength and cardio floor, personal training, group classes, and a recovery zone featuring infrared sauna, HydroMassage, red light therapy, and cryotherapy. It is a serious facility by any measure, and it is now equipped with Gungnir bars, making the weight floor completely collar-free.

If you are in the Iowa Great Lakes area, stop in and experience the future of lifting. Because when it comes to barbells, it is right here.
