I have been going to Willow Creek for the last two months and I can’t recommend them enough! Being new to CrossFit, I enjoy the smaller class sizes as it allows for more one on one time with the coaches to go over form and mobility specifically designed for me before jumping into a new work out. The team is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. This gym is accommodating to all fitness levels and the coaches genuinely care about helping you reach your goals.

100% recommend Willow Creek CrossFit! In my time there, I learned so much about fitness and tremendously improved my strength. It will be hard to find a gym that will compete to the level of knowledge, skill, and community that this gym provided. I will definitely miss it!

Friendly and welcoming CrossFit box near the University of Iowa and the university medical center. Early morning class is ideal for professional who want to stay fit. Well trained coaches patiently teach and modify workouts for those of us who are not Olympic caliber athletes.

I joined Willow Creek CrossFit six weeks ago and my only regret is that I didnt join years ago. The instructors manage to keep the environment both supportive and challenging. The athletes are friendly and encouraging. This is truly a special place where fitness meets family.

I joined six months ago and love it. Their coaches are all excellent and work hard with everyone where they are at. The gym is friendly and welcoming to all levels of members. I was new to crossfit and always felt comfortable asking questions and getting modifications for any workout. Everyone is very supportive. WCCF is a great community.

I wish I could give Willow Creek CrossFit 10 stars. This gym is truly something special. The coaches are outstanding, and genuinely care to help. They will help push you to places you never thought you could go. The members are more than welcoming and will cheer you on through every workout. If you are dropping in to Iowa City, this is the place to go. If you are looking for a new gym, this is the place to go. THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO. Willow Creek Crossfit has a motto Where fitness meets family, but really it is more than just a motto, it is a way of life there.

CrossFit brings about performance improvements because it is extremely varied, coach-led, group-based but ultimately individual, and gets you to accomplish in 20 minutes what you will not in an hour or two on an elliptical machine, smith machine, or treadmill. WCCF is an amazing place to train and get better. The coaches are informed, have your goals in mind with each workout, and tailor things so you can succeed. There is a great mix of people: gender, age, athletic ability, experience. There is no aggressive coaching to do things you cant or shouldnt be doing; the coaches are explicit about your safety and well-being while also gently pushing you to be better and try new things. The gym is well-kept, fully stocked, and located right off the beautiful Willow Creek trail (where workout runs occur). If you are new to this but have the inkling youd like to do something different than you have been doing for years, talk to Cody, Luke, or Matt (all great coaches and athletes) and move forward.

The coaches at Willow Creek CrossFit have helped me do things I never thought I’d be able to do and helped me gain the confidence to try new things, both inside the gym and outside it. Everyone at this gym is so friendly and helpful, and made me feel comfortable despite not being very athletic. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, and will miss it most when I leave Iowa City!

It is a great place to train. I did a trial morning cross-fit class. I really enjoyed the teach and facilities there. I would recommend people to work-out there!

Each one of the coaches is truly invested in ensuring that each gym member reaches their personal goals. They review proper form and help to scale movements to an individuals ability, which almost eliminates the potential for injury. On the flip side, they push you when you are ready to progress. The members are all very supportive and make for a great community:

Not only is this a great place to get and be fit, it is also an incredible community to be a part of. The members are friendly and inviting. The coaches are extremely experienced and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a great place to get fit and have some fun while doing it, this is the place to be.

Came for a competitive and challenging workout. Coaches and community are amazing. Coaches on staff all have different backgrounds which helps me diversify my training.

This gym is wonderful. I have a great experience every time I go. The coaches are wonderful and my workouts are scaled to my needs. I feel at home here and I love working out here!

I traveled to IC on business and ended up spending 3 mornings via cab (seriously) with Matt, David and Cody because this place is really that good. The coaches are knowledgeable and the ownership shows a since of community. I recommend CrossFit Epic to hard core people to smart people just wanting to try something different to make fitness interesting again. The workouts are designed to challenge all abilities. Got to be the best in town!

A great, clean facility with an incredibly welcoming environment from both the coaches and other members. They really take the time to get to know you and your goals personally.

Great gym, best in Iowa city! Diverse group of coaches paired with an awesome, welcoming community. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fabulous coaches who individualize the workouts so everyone has success.

This gym is amazing! The staff is great; the staff is incredibly helpful and attentive. The workouts are custom-tailored to my skill level. These guys are awesome. :)

Within the first week of joining the gym I met every trainer and owner. The workouts are tough, but you are always encouraged to scale to your level. It is a very welcoming environment and membership prices are extremely competitive. I would recommend WCC to anyone.

Great atmosphere, community and workouts! All the coaches take the time to understand your goals and how you move and help scale the workouts and push you to get better!

Really great place to work out... the instructors seem to really care about your movements and to limit injuries and Ive been to other places where you sometimes just feel like a number...my wife and daughter all go together and we love it !!

Crossfit Epic is a great place to workout. There is something about going through a rigorous workout with a group that gives you the communal feeling of wow, I survived that as a team effort. Although the performances are individual (and tailored to your fitness), everyone supports each other and forms a team. The instruction is specific, safe, and Ethon the trainer does a great job of ensuring that you push yourself to break through your comfort zone, but in a safe fashion. Highly recommend it!

Way too expensive. Look up a crossfit program for free online and get a normal gym membership. 200 for the on ramp... 200 for 5 workouts a month... Seriously? If this is the industry standard Im about to open a gym that makes it affordable because Im not greedy.

Coaches and members are great and the programming is excellent. An awesome gym all around!

Great environment with coaches who are passionate. A great place to workout and have fun!

Great facility with exceptional coaches!

Great coaches, great community, great workouts. Couldnt ask for much more from a CrossFit gym!

Crossfit is a life changing experience. You will NEVER go back! There are plenty of places in the greater Iowa City area to attempt fitness, but there is no place like Epic. The trainers are second to none and will help you on your road to General Physical Preparedness (GPP). The people and trainers are friendlier than any place Ive ever been to. The camaraderie of everyone is amazing. This is truly a way of life, that will make friends for life. -Travis Tyrrell

I highly recommend Crossfit Epic! Whether you are a college student or middle-aged Crossfit Epic will provide the program and coaching to ensure you succeed in achieving your fitness goals. The best part - you will be greeted by great coaches who genuinely want to see you succeed. Each will tailor workouts to your fitness level. Finally, I have never encountered such a sense of community as I have seen at Crossfit Epic. While each member is competitive during class they all want to see everyone accomplish a new skill or set a PR. It is very common to have others cheering/encouraging you while you work out.

Quick correction of an earlier comment -- the rate is $200/month for 6 workouts a week. Thats $8/hr for some highly skilled, individualized training (not personal training, but you get plenty of individual attention).I really enjoyed my time at Crossfit Epic. Id still be there every week if I didnt have to move for work. I dont think Ive ever worked out so hard and had so much fun in the process. It is a great community, both the coaches (Ethon, Dave, and Kaila) and the members are awesome people to work out/hang out with. I made a lot of progress in the 4 short months I was there--lost 14 lbs; went from struggling on pull ups with 2 blue bands to being able to do 4 dead hangs unassisted; set a new PR for bench press (240# up from 225 about 6 years after I stopped lifting on my own); dropped my 500m row from nearly 3 minutes down to 1:35; and feel overall much stronger and better conditioned. Still have a long way to go, of course, but I am pleased that all that hard work is paying off. I plan to continue crossfit in my next town and I hope theyre like Crossfit Epic.
