CrossFit West Des Moines

Since I joined in November of 2017, CFWDM has made a world of difference in my life. I was 58, fat, lazy and on the couch every night after work. With their support, coaching and guidance, my strength is returning. the pounds are shedding and my outlook on life is vastly improved. From the Coaches to the Community, you cannot beat 'em! There's lots of "boxes" out there... I consider myself lucky to have landed here. I am now #61strong and getting stronger!! #crossfitwdm

I was very intimidated walking into my first trial class. I had no idea what any of the movements, terminology, etc. were and I hadn’t participated in a fitness class for over 5 years for fear of worsening my Diastasis Recti.I literally almost cried walking down the stairs for two full days after that first class from using muscles in ways I’m not sure I ever had before. I was instantly hooked and started 1-on-1 fundamentals the following week and a membership thereafter.I am only 7 weeks in, but I can already see improvements in myself. I love the constant variety and challenge of the workouts and perhaps best of all, that they can be scaled/modified per your own capabilities and limitations. All of the coaches and members are incredibly encouraging and supportive. They make you feel accepted and everyone is celebrated for their improvements and efforts. It is a wonderful community!If you have any doubts or reservations at all about signing up for your first trial class or membership, just do it! You won’t regret your decision!

I am so grateful for the amazing coaches and athletes at CrossFit West Des Moines! I joined the gym over 3 years ago with very little athletic experience. I was immediately welcomed and could tell that this was more than just a gym-- it was a community. I was given great coaching so that I felt confident in performing the workouts without fear of injury. As I learned, I was encouraged by the other athletes-- never judged for where I am on my fitness journey. Today, I am stronger and more confident thanks to the team at CFWDM. I would recommend this gym to anyone at any level of fitness who is looking for a place to learn and grow with a supportive community.

Thanks for the great rating. We really appreciate the support, Coach!

Aww, thank you, Trevor! Glad you revisited and got a great partner WOD in.

The best gym in all of Des Moines!!! The community here welcomes everyone with open arms even if it's for a drop in. These people became more than friends. They became my family!

Joining CrossFit West Des Moines has been one my best decisions ever! I joined in April 2019 and have loved every moment of it. Admittedly, I was hesitant to join as I had never lifted heavy weights before, but the coaches and community immediately made me feel comfortable!The coaches are fantastic, knowledgeable, and personable - they help me modify workouts, help correct my form, give advice when trying to master a new skill, and they always cheer me on as I hit new PRs! The community at CFWDM can't be beat -- everyone is so welcoming, friendly, and nonjudgmental!Definitely give CFWDM place a try, you won't regret it!!!

I’ve been a member of CrossFit West Des Moines for about two years now and can’t recommend it enough. It’s an amazing community filled with amazing, supportive people and the coaches genuinely care about helping everyone be the best version of themselves. The workouts are fun and infinitely “scaleable”. I highly suggest checking them out!

Great box! Great vibe. Cool coach (Jess). Cool athletes. Cool space.Dropped in, and they worked with me to find something that would work with my hectic travel schedule.Can't say enough good stuff
