CrossFit 8035, at The Garage

Thanks Felipe!

Very friendly staff! Clean gym as well! Love that they have cleaning supplies easily accessible. The members are like a family and ALL pitch in the keep the gym clean and always helping other out in class! I do personal training with Coach Abby. She has been a blessing to my workout routine teaching me adaptive lifting skills!

Overall, it was a great gym with a great staff. Coach Abby is the best employee there as she withholds a tremendous amount of experience and expertise in her approach to coaching the classes. However, switching from the morning class to the evening class was detrimental. I would not recommend this gym if you intend to conduct janitorial activities after your workout. When leaving a workout this evening, I was forced to mop the floor because of the sweat being on it? As a result, the owners suggested that I was “not a good fit,” (Reiland, Abi) due to me refusing to mop their floors for them after my CrossFit class. The behavior of the staff member Davey Jergens stating “It’s apart of being a good human,” (Jergens) because they did not want to mop the floor was excused by the owner as being a “young profession,” (Reiland, Abi). In contrary, the owner then states “ I’m absolutely open to keeping you as a member and improving our overall approach, but also don’t want to give the impression that you have an exception. That wouldn’t be fair for anybody,” (Reiland, Abi). I cannot make this up and want to be as transparent as possible despite refusing to conduct janitorial activities post workout. Do not plan on sweating in class because you will be responsible for “cleaning your bodily fluids,” (Reiland, Abi). I only wrote this review to provide transparency and the fact that they would prefer losing a member and telling them they are not a good fit versus finding a solution for cleaning (their) gym, and having responsibility or accountability.Sincerely,

Great gym.The coaches are AMAZING!I love the atmosphere highly recommended.

I dropped in for a 9 am. class since I was staying at a hotel down the street. Coach Abby was excellent. I stayed after for an open gym to work on other things.

Thank you for the review! Glad you had a good experience!

Thanks so much, Jay!

Quick trip to Des Moines and I dropped in to 8035. Coach Abby was incredibly accommodating and the gym is a nice big space with everything you could want/need in the CrossFit world. I’ll come back next time I’m in town.

Really nice and clean gym

Good place to work out
