You know how much we love highlighting our local businesses here at Des Moines Moms Blog. So we especially love to share NEW local businesses with you! And this one comes highly recommended from our very own contributor and local mom of three Erica Douglas.
CrossFit West Des Moines is now open at 801 73rd Street in Windsor Heights. Offering challenging, fun, and effective workouts to help you live up to your full potential.
About CrossFit West Des Moines
CrossFit West Des Moines started out of Tony and Erica Douglas’s garage after Tony experienced success with the CrossFit workouts himself, and he wanted to share that with others. A friendship grew between Tony and friend Rex Gray because of CrossFit, and together they realized they shared the same vision and passion.
Areté is a Greek phrase that means Living Up to Your Full Potential. At CrossFit West Des Moines, we have adapted that motto.
Our mission is to meet people where they are at, learn their personal goals, and help them reach beyond what they thought possible.
What makes Crossfit West Des Moines different?
We strive to get you into the best shape of your life, whether we meet you the day after you’ve finished a triathlon or it’s the first day in a gym in years. It’s not all about muscle, it’s about hard work, a positive attitude, nutrition and dedication.
DMMB contributor and CrossFit Co-owner Erica Douglas shares, “Personally, what I love about CrossFit West Des Moines is that it is a family first- people first- gym. My husband, and his partner Rex, care strongly about their families so they encourage spouses to work out together. They understand that a healthy lifestyle isn’t about fitting in a bikini over spring break, but rather that it is to enjoy more of life with those you love.
CrossFit West Des Moines isn’t a gym filled with meatheads, if you will, it’s a diverse mix of former Division 1 athletes to former couch potatoes, men and women, young and old. It is a commitment to do CrossFit, but I guarantee the coaches here at CrossFit West Des Moines are fully committed in return. It makes me very proud to be a part of!”
Important Facts/Perks
- Everyone gets the first 2 weeks free. The first two weeks everyone goes through an OnRamp where they learn technique, movements, lifts, and CrossFit methodology. After the OnRamp, one can better determine if it is something they want to continue pursuing.
- They offer discounts for students, couples, police and fireman, and military.
- They offer a playroom for kids. (There is no childcare provided, but you’ll be able to see them while you’re working out). Great perk as we all know this is a huge obstacle for us busy mamas.
