Desert Fitness Collective

What can I say? Cheryl is an amazing coach/person and she works 'tirelessly' to help everyone improve their technique(s), strength and conditioning. She is very involved in your fitness/health and wants to help any way she can. She goes beyond the call of duty! Love Cheryl and all the crew at Desert Crossfit! xo

I worked out at Desert CrossFit for 3 weeks while on vacation in Palm Springs over the Holidays. The gym was up to date, clean and the people were very welcoming! Cheryl (coach/owner) is extremely knowledgeable and encouraging! She taught me lots about form and I'll be looking forward to returning next time I am in the desert.

My wife and enjoyed our drop-in here. Cheryl is a nice and knowledgeable coach! Great programming, covering mobility, skills, strength and the WOD. Best kids corner!

Really great box with an friendly clientele and great coach. Coach Cheryl really takes the time to give you a rigorous warmup, useful advice, and corrective tips for more efficient movements in real time. I would highly recommend this box when you're in the desert.

While in Indian Wells for a weekend getaway, I dropped in for a Saturday morning workout and was warmly welcomed. I appreciated that the class warmed up and stretched together, then Cheryl thoroughly explained and coached us through sets of 3-3-3-3-3 for deadlifts and weighted pull-ups. She taught me new techniques for each of these, which I will take back home! The AMRAP was fun and challenging, too! Desert Crossfit is a large, clean, and well-appointed facility with quality programming and coaching -- plus a fun local crowd. Check it out! Thanks for a great drop in experience! - Becky J, a regular at CrossFit Loco Ocho in Sacramento, CA

I have worked out with the OWW (Older, Wiser, Wonderful!) group for the 4-5 months I've spend in Palm Desert over the past three years. I can't say enough about the amazing encouragement and support from the members of the class. Cheryl is a terrific coach and pushes us to achieve our optimum levels of fitness. She readily acknowledges and adjusts for our individual body limitations while accepting nothing less than our best efforts. I miss the incredible camaraderie at this awesome box!

Since day one- this his place has been awesome. The day I walked in I was received like a friend. fast-forward a year and still feel the same.I have run marathons, tri's, spartans, jiu-jitsu played tons of sports, etc- but NEVER have I been pushed this hard! It was exactly what I was looking for!If your looking to challenge yourself and not suck at life then this is the place to be also make new friends and belong to a supportive Crossfit community.This place has really met my needsWhen your in Palm Springs you gotta stop by here.

The Introduction to Crossfit wasn't a great fit for me. I know every body is different in regards to there size, shape, form or age, I just advise you do your research and homework first.I made the mistake of paying the $149 for the intro to crossfit instead of me calling first and asking if I can test the waters and inquire / or witness what it's all about. But instead I received the short end of the stick. I received an email from the owner Cheryl Cohen in response to my email to her with Cohen stating no refunds and for me to refer back to her website.I think this is just a sad way of doing business and to me it's just a money maker.Do your research and when shopping around don't forget to ask questions before you invest.

I LOVE Desert Crossfit!Oh my goodness! Besides the amazing workout and how fantastic I feel after, I have to thank the coaches and the amazing community of dedicated thriving people who have and are assisting me back to whole body health. I have been a member since Jan 2011 and the past 2 years I have been walking thru stage 3 and stage 4 breast cancer. Cheryl and the common-unity of CrossFitters have aided me emotionally, spiritually and physically. Their encouragement and love gets me here in the am. My encouragement is.... "Come join us at the best CrossFit box in town. Come and grow with us.". I always like to say, "When you think you can't do it, CrossFit and its community says yes you can!" .

When you start working with Cheryl at Desert CrossFit in Rancho Mirage, you start believing again that "YOU CAN DO ANYTHING"! I would have never thought that CrossFit could be a work out option for me, as I never really understood what it actually is, until I learned all about it.Thanks to Cheryl, now I know that is a option for all ages and fitness levels, and by taking advantage of the one-on-one personalized approach coupled with the phenomenal classes (fitness & nutrition) I feel like I truly am on the road to a better, healthier me. Most importantly, I love being part of the Desert CrossFit loving family, its simply amazing!
