“The best CrossFit community in Des Moines!! The coaches are amazing! I love that they take their time to show and explain each movement (for safety and efficiency).It’s not your typical gym - each movement is adaptable to your current fitness ability.I love it here! I won’t workout any where else. This is my community! ?”
“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.”

“Cross Fit Merle Hay fosters a climate of inclusion. They welcome people of all levels of fitness and work to find the workout that meets you where you are now and plan for meeting your goals. Whether it's a traditional class, small group or personal training, the owners and staff care about their clients.”
“Completed a 2nd 6 week challenge. Just like the 1st one, I would recommend Elite Edge if you needing some help to jump start your workouts and lose some weight. Classes aren’t too big in size, workouts can push you and will help you get back on track with you health.”
“The reason I love it is because it isn't a typical gym. I'm not one to fumble around on equipment I don't know or just don't show up because no one will know if I'm there or not. This is a one on one training session. (although they do offer some classes too) It's personal to your goals and keeps you accountable. I train with Zach. He is the best! He shows you step by step what to do and makes sure you are using correct technique. Zach also does massage which has been very helpful on occasion for recovery. I also enjoy using the massive sauna before my workout when my body isn't quite cooperating with me, and I'll spend a few minutes after a workout to help flush the system. It's a small "gym" and I like it that way. I don't feel like I'm being stared at. I just go and get done what I need to do. It's a great place!”
“I do personal training at this location 3-4 times a week with Noah Rogers. My group isn’t apart of the normal classes going on, but the coaches and members include us in their conversations and make us feel like we are one of them! I love the energy and camaraderie at this gym, and always look forward to my time there!”
“It's a good place to get some exercise in and shoot hoops if your a student or a employee there other then that I don't think it's open to the general public.”

“As a local trainer I’ve got to visit many gyms/fitness clubs in the metro and surrounding areas. Apex is by far my favorite. Free weights, cables, machine assisted… they have it all. Clean and positive environment with 24/7 member access and secured doors”
“It’s a great gym! Don’t go looking for a ton of machines or cardio equipment. It’s gritty and pretty much free weights only, which is exactly what I want in a gym! The owner is super nice and willing to work with you on a workout plan.”

The gym is always clean, and there's a strong community vibe. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a top-quality gym experience!”
“I have been a Anytime Fitness member for a couple of years. I started coming to this particular gym during a management change over and the new owners Amber and Colton are awesome individuals. I have been involved with both small group and one on one personal training time and both owners pushed me to my limits and it was best thing that has ever happen to me. The gym is small with an old school feeling and it's never over crowded which I love. The owners take pride in their establishment and strive to make improvements to give their members best expirence. I highly recomend checking out this gym location.”
“We travel a lot and it is very nice having Planet Fitness locations spread around the country. This location was clean and I did not see any malfunctioning equipment.”
