Fun place to work out. The instructors are really nice.

The trainers here are amazing! I work out 6 days a week with them and they are always willing to help! Even sent me home with extra stuff that I can do at home so I can get the results I want! Kind people and reasonable price

Had an awesome experience at Crossfit Merle Hay. As a person dropping in for the week from Phoenix, AZ I reached out to their contact email trying to get information on their fees and policies. Nate quickly got back to me and got me the info I needed.Initial impression: The day I arrived I was quickly greeted and set up with a waiver. Within five minutes of getting there I had a coach, one of the owners, and an athlete come and introduce themselves to me - a sure sign of a great community / box.Coaching: the coaching I received was solid. I was given easy to understand cues and some personal attention on movement corrections. Val did a great job laying out all the movements for the workout as well as some tips for moving through efficiently.Facility: this is a really nice box and it’s apparent that ownership / members take pride in keeping it clean. Had all the equipment we needed for the workout and everything was solid quality.Overall I’d certainly recommend Crossfit Merle Hay to anyone visiting the Des Moines Metro.

Great coaches, smaller classes make the experience more personal. It is a little hard to find the entrance to parking from Meral Hay in the dark.
