I’ve been to many different CrossFit gyms throughout the country and it’s rare to find one where people with little exercise experience can feel comfortable coming every day. At 8035 they absolutely foster this environment. It’s great to see people feel comfortable improving their health every day at 8035.

I’ve been a member for over two years now and CrossFit 8035 has changed my life. I was extremely intimidated when I first started and the coaches/members made sure I was comfortable while also helping me modify as needed. I’m in it for life now. Love this place. Shout out to the 11:30am class for being the most fun!

TL;DR: Look no further. This is the gym you want to workout at while you’re in Des Moines.
I know we talk about the community aspect of CrossFit ad nauseam, but this place has the absolute secret sauce. I dropped-in to CrossFit 8035 for two weeks while I was in town with a show at The Civic Center and it made me never want to leave Des Moines. Abby (trainer) was an attentive and welcoming trainer and was just phenomenal to be guided by from class to class. Every now and then Luke (the Owner) would be in class and we had great conversation and he’s just an all around great dude. Strictly personally speaking, the 11:30 express class has my entire heart. The people at this gym are remarkable and 5 stars simply isn’t a high enough rating. The programming is challenging but absolutely doable and they even integrate BUILT programming for those people who want to focus on building muscle through a way other than the classic MetCon.
In short. If you are from Des Moines, join this gym. If you are traveling through Des Moines, drop into this gym. Moral of the story… this gym is IT.

Great experience with Coach Abby! My first time at Cross Fit.. I was sure I was gonna die but everyone was super welcoming. Coach Abby helped modify some exercises for me -without judgement - so I could get the most out of the hour. Strongly recommend this place and these people!

Nice gym with a great atmosphere. They have a lot of great equipment. All the cardio machines you can need plus no shortage of weights. I dropped in and just did open gym and the coach was very accommodating. Can’t wait to visit Des Moines again to drop in.

Amazing floor space, great equipment set up, and so welcoming to drop-ins and new members!I recently traveled to Des Moines for a 2-week work trip; finding CrossFit 8035 was a total game changer! Abby helped get me set-up with a punch pass option for my trip and was so helpful and available for questions both during set-up and my time there. As for the facility - the huge floor-space and rig set-up felt so luxurious and allowed for plenty of individual spacing and any equipment you could possibly need. My favorite part was the 24/7 open-gym access which facilitated a time and space to work on skills and lifts I've been needing more time on, and plenty of space to video and critique myself without the constraints of a class setting. It was very cool to get that extra time and freedom in training for a couple weeks.

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!
