I’ve been to a LOT of CrossFit gyms and I can tell you that this one is the best yet. The coaches are helpful, genuine, funny, courteous and kind. The owners, Nate and Caileen, have their hearts in the right place. This is evident upon meeting them and how they all seemed genuinely interested in me as a person. The staff here is encouraging and supportive. The playroom (Hallelujah! 🙌) they have here for kids is an amazing addition. My kids love tagging along to my workouts. The play room is visible from where the athletes w... read more

I was looking for a gym close to work and stopped into CFMH. I met 1:1 with the owner, Nate. He was incredibly kind and put me at complete ease as I was feeling a little anxious about getting back into the sport after an extended time off.

If you’re seeking a positive and inclusive gym community, coaches and owners w... read more

I took time off due to an injury but was a consistent attendee for two years and I loved every minute of it. After a year off I came back and was welcomed back warmly and the coaches have been great working with me and my new limitations.

I recently joined CrossFit and this has been my best experience yet in the Des Moines area. The coaches are so knowledgeable and as a beginner to many of the movements, they make it so easy to scale the workouts and meet me where I'm at. Everyone has been so welcoming and the community aspect is just as good as the workouts. I'm so happy to have found my home.

I've been working out with Crossfit Merle Hay for a couple of months now and I only have good things to say. I'm a Veteran of OIF and OEF with physical and mental health problems. I also have chronic migraines and the staff has been nothing but caring and empathetic toward me. They are helping me achieve my fitness goals and do it in a way that I haven't seen anywhere else. The staff have scaled the workouts to my physical disabilities and instead of sitting on the couch getting fat, I'm now able to work out regularly again.... read more
