I’ve been working with Daniela for the past several months and I’ve been really impressed. She is such a talented coach and an amazing athlete. She really knows how to customize workouts to help you reach your goals and focus on any areas you want to improve. Plus, she’s great at explaining form and technique. I definitely recommend working with her one-on-one or taking one of her classes!

I've tried every gym there is. By far this is the way to go. The camaraderie there is the best. When you think you can't go anymore there's a coach and fellow gym goers there to push you on to that last rep. ALL the coaches there are there because they are dedicated people there to to assist you in becoming a healthier person. I can't say enough about Max and Daniela.

I've been going to BCCF for just over 6 months now and it has completely changed my health and fitness level for the better. I really love how the coaches meet you where you're at and provide options to scale the workout no matter what strength level you're currently at. The class times are also really convenient for my schedule. Highly recommend BCCF!

I've been coming to Black Collar for a few years, and it is hard to beat. Challenging classes that are tailored to meet you where you are at in your fitness journey. Coaches are very knowledgeable and give you good guidance. Highly recommended!

Finding the right CrossFit gym is a daunting proposition to say the least. It’s hard to find one that has the right mix of community, wide range of skill levels, great coaching, and programming that is challenging as well as modifiable to your skill and fitness level. I’ve been a member of several in town and I can say without a doubt Black Collar is one of the good ones. Their workouts are challenging but are a good mix that doesn’t leave me feeling like I don’t want to return. It’s got coaches who care, provide honest feedback on your form, and are there to make sure you not only get a great workout but feel safe doing so. Everyone is friendly and made me feel welcome from the first time I stopped in. If you’re thinking of giving a CrossFit gym a try I wouldn’t hesitate to walk through the doors, you’ll be happy you did!

My experience at BCCF has been great! The gym is well maintained, the coaching is exceptional and overall environment is welcoming. I chose this gym due to proximity of work and home--it's located perfectly. The smaller class sizes bode well for those looking for more of an intimate gym experience while also getting a solid workout in. If you're looking for an accessible gym, a place to feel at home, and to continue your fitness journey (where ever you are), look no further than Black Collar Crossfit!

I've been coming for about 3 and a half years, and it's one of the best life decisions I've ever made! Not only has every coach they've had over that time been wonderful, the mental health and social life aspects of being surrounded by such great people, coaches and members, has been amazing!!

I can’t believe I’ve never left a review for BCCF! There is no better CrossFit Gym in the Des Moines area. They also partner with ValorFit providing free CrossFit to disabled veterans. Meddy Paulus is an outstanding human and role model. This place really changed my life in many ways. 10 out of 10 stars!!
