Love this place. My wife has been a member for a number of years. She took me along to a ‘try the gym’ day. I signed up the next day. It added a much needed dimension to my triathlon training program. The coaches are awesome. Their focus on form over reps is very welcomed. I wholeheartedly recommend

Krave Gym has THE BEST coaches and the most encouraging environment of a gym that I’ve ever been a member of! I have never been pushed past my limits as much as I have here...in a good way of course! If you need help with your form, it’s pointed out and not just let go like other gyms. I highly recommend becoming an athlete at Krave gym!

Love working out here! When I started I had no idea what I was doing but during the team trainings the coaches are awesome at giving individual help to make sure you’re doing each exercise correctly. The nutritional help is top notch and makes it super easy for any one to lose weight and actually keep it off.

I cannot express or share enough love about this gym. My fiance and I were in dire need of a gym.. Wed get in multiple arguments of what we were going to do when we did workout and we would spend most of our time coming up with a routine...we needed help.. So we went gym shopping and Krave was the first on the list. We walk in on our first trial night, out of shape like no other. I have group anxiety, especially in a workout atmosphere!! (I almost turned to go back home because I saw how in shape everyone was) but when we went in there, we were greeted with nothing short of happiness, smiles, and compassion. That night was the best workout we had ever had. We walked through other gyms after that night but nothing compared to what we had experienced from the greeting to the goodbye that Krave gave us. So it was an easy answer...Krave was our new family.

Love this place! Amazing culture, makes you strive for greatness. My fitness and my health has got me through this pandemic, and I appreciate Krave for that.

Great workouts, great coaching, and a great community. We joined as a family over a year ago and its been a great way to workout together where we can enjoy the experience with our teenage sons.

I love this gym. 3 killer workouts each week that combine strength, endurance, agility, and striking. Workouts are segmented by leg day, upper body, and total body. Ive never felt better as an athlete! The staff is a great group of people that will push you and help you achieve your goals!

I have been in and around different types gyms from before I was a freshman in high school. The majority have been a large space with an assortment of free weights and machines. These gyms were fine for what they were. However, Krave Gym is NOT one of those gyms. Krave was designed to build a culture around their gym so that it wasnt just a place to lift weights but a place to meet friends and improve together. If your desire is to lift weights on your own or with a friend then leave, you can. If your desire is to get back into shape or simply lose a few pounds, their coaches have an incredible amount of knowledge about nutrition. If your a former athlete whos tired of the monotony of working out alone and want to challenge yourself, you can. The classes are design to push the limits of any level of participant, you go as hard as you are capable and the results will come. Krave is more than a gym, its a community that I couldnt recommend strongly enough to anyone who wants to better themselves. Dont take my word for it, they offer one free trial class, get in there and try it for yourself. You wont be disappointed.

Methodically planned workouts. Avoids plateaus. Friendly atmosphere. Greatest coaches in town. Head Coach Zach is professional, knowledgeable and motivating. The owners, Amber and Tyler give back to the community and are open and welcoming.

Great gym. May be a crossfit style gym but offers day passes for out of towners. Has all the equipment needed for normal lifting routines. Owner is very kind.

I interned here this summer and I feel very lucky to have been a part of the family here at Krave. I had an absolute blast coaching classes and getting to know all of the Krave Team. The workouts are fast-paced and fun and incorporate strength, striking, agility, and endurance work. The workouts are structured in such a way that allows just about any person of any fitness level to come in and get an awesome workout in. I loved coming to work everyday and seeing the smiling faces and everybody there wanting to work hard, have fun, and get better together. Krave is the place to be!

I would give more stars if I could! I have been working out here for 2+ years and honestly look forward to every work out. It never gets easier, but I have gotten a lot stronger. I have tried many area gyms and have been an athlete my entire life from elementary school through college, and have never had the results I have had from Krave at any other gym. Their coaches are educated with college degrees and certifications from professional licensing boards. You get as much one on one coaching you request with nutrition, classes, and extra lifts to meet whichever goals you set. I will be a lifer! I have found my happy place!

Great gym, love the energy everyone brings to class and most of all how diverse the members are. It ranges from athletes fresh out of college to 60 year old women kicking their butts while being encouraged by the coaches each and every session!! Love krave!

As a plus size person its hard finding a place where one your committed to actually going to and two that you feel comfortable working out in. Krave gym fulfills both of those concerns for me: Im excited about going there and felt confident enough in myself and the trainers (even when an entire blaze football team is watching me take a class....staring us down) to do what I need to do to become healthy. There are days that I hate it and I actually would rather crawl in bed and sleep but I know Ill love and thank myself so much more if I just go and work out. Amber and Tyler are amazing people and Im blessed to be not only a member of their gym but friends with them as well. I encourage anyone that wants or needs a change in their life to try Krave gym out....even if you just need to punch a bag during a striking class because your day sucked or just because....DO IT FOR YOU!!

Krave Gym is a brilliant venture in the fitness domain. This place offers training in the weights, cardio, and striking departments. What sets Krave apart is the group classes focused on overall development and sustainability. This unique concept hits the core areas and provides a challenging workout every time, and is rounded up with a fitness discussion. The trainers are accomplished and supportive and deliver a customized touch to ones goals.I have been a proud Krave member since its inception and have seen this place grow and establish itself with like-minded people striving to attain their goals. I recommend Krave Gym if you want to not just dream it but actually do it!

Love this place. Tyler, Amber and the rest of the team really care about all of the team members. If you are looking for a place in West Des Moines or Waukee to workout, stopping reading this and give the team at Krave a call!

Best gym in the Des Moines area! They have a variety of fitness plans to meet your goals. Trainer led classes, Kickboxing, HIIT training, and its a 24-hour gym! The trainers are really knowledgeable and they all have fitness degrees, unlike some gyms in the area. They will do whatever it takes to help you achieve your goals. I have been going to Krave since June of 2014 and I have noticed that I have become leaner, strong, and have more endurance! I was even chosen to be their athlete of the month in December! Love this place!

Love this gym! 24 access and classes that hold you accountable! Friendly staff who are very knowledgeable.

I will start out by saying that I have tried and failed at many workouts, gyms, and programs. Krave Gym is the first place I have ever belonged that has kept me interested! I am experiencing results like I have never seen before. My family and I travel to Colorado several times a year and always incorporate a mountain hike into trip. After working out a Krave Gym for just 8 weeks, I knocked out a hike that I normally couldnt have even begun to handle before I belonged here! On top of nearly everyone that knew me before I started here commenting on how much better I look, this hike I just went on proved to me that this program is working.Some places can be intimidating. This isnt even remotely that way. There is a great blend of people that are changing their lives here. Some at the beginning of their quest, some that have been working out for awhile. The classes are amazing. I take Krave Fit twice a week and I love it. The instructors push you with encouragement and not with intimidation. They are so positive and helpful and thats one of the things that keeps me coming back time after time. There are 5 concentrations in every class and I have take dozens of classes without ever doing the same thing twice. The motions are challenging, yet you can move at a little lower intensity if you are just beginning.I also workout on my own 2-3 times per week. Tyler set up a Game Plan that is unique to my goals and I look forward to doing this plan more than anything I have ever tried to do. He is highly trained in this area and cares about the plan he designs for you. They are there every step of the way to help with movements, correct form, answer questions, and truly care how you are doing. Amber is an amazing instructor. She is extremely positive and knowledgeable about the movements we are doing. She will encourage you throughout the workouts. Ana is also one of the instructors and she has a true passion for this. She is upbeat and positive as well. Also extremely knowledgeable about the motions and exercises and makes the classes extremely fun, as well as challenging.The facility is top-notch. The equipment is in phenomenal shape and contains just the right amount of each machine and weight so there is never a wait, even in the busy times. Its open 24 hours a day and is a secure facility so even late in the night, its more than safe enough for anyone to be there. I love how they incorporate striking into the workouts, even the ones I do on my own. That is one of the things that keeps me interested in these workouts.The results I am experiencing are unlike anything I have ever seen. The Krave Gym team is supportive, knowledgeable and truly cares about their members and what they do. The passion they have for fitness is obvious. They know your name, know what level you are at and support you every step of the way. There are choices out there, but Krave Gym is unique. You arent going to hang from a bar and do a bunch of pull-ups and clean and jerk moves every session, which hardly anyone can actually do. You can join places that cost hundreds of dollars a month and get a fraction of the support, knowledge and training, park a half a mile from the door, be greeted by people that dont know you, dont care if you are there or not and couldnt begin to tell you if you are doing something correct or not. Krave gives you exactly what you need and at the right amount.You will NOT find a better balance in a program than what you will experience here. Dont waste your money on other places. Join here, see results, and be known by your name and the friendly smiling faces you will see every time you come in.Support a local facility that knows what they are doing. Period.

Good if youre already in shape and athletic. Program isnt designed for people that arent sure of what their doing. I would have given 4 stars but after I signed up I wasnt encouraged as promised.

We toured the facility, and Im extremely impressed. Their equipment is unique and high-end, and they have a great routine including cardio, striking, and strength. This is not a gym for those who want to just use a facility, but rather a gym for those who want a guided training program with a close group of like-minded people. I was also impressed with the tech of this gym. Theyre one of the only gyms who advertise real, no-haggle pricing right on their website (so you dont have to waste time with car salesman pitches and pricing games, fees for this and that, etc.). Their website is well designed, their staff respond to emails and text messages, and they even have an app with a composite score to track your progress and improvement. This is definitely a gym for the millennials! Unfortunately, the price was out of our budget, but I definitely would choose this gym in a heartbeat under different circumstances.

After years of being a couch potato the coached at Krave Gym helped me get my body back in shape. Now there is no better feeling than going back to my home town for a weekend and looking way better than my former college classmates. Thanks Krave Gym.

32 years old and still want to feel like I got it. The Krave Gym fitness experience gives me that and more. Love the workouts, love the atmosphere, love the people, highly recommend.

Hands down the best gym in West Des Moines!!

Hands down best Gym in all of the Des Moines area and metro. Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and willing to go to great extent for you, to help you acheive your goals. I have been going here for about 3 months and in that short time i have dropped 10% body fat. You WILL NOT get that kind of results anywhere else in town im willing to guarantee that.

Ive only been once (so far) so 5/5 may be generous, but first impressions are important and they knocked it out of the park.A little background: Im 61 265lbs and pretty much no muscle mass. That combination has made me really self-conscious, and for years Ive been putting off going to the gym.Appearance: nestled in a strip mall Krave is unassuming from the outside. Inside its clear they had some serious financial backing. To the right and left were machines/weights while the center was turf with weights, ropes, and heavy bags.Workout: its HIT. The first 5 minutes or so is individual stretching. Then we paired up, went outside, and started the first exercise. One partner would spring 50 yards and sprint back while the other did burpies, I think we did 3 sets, followed by a quick 1/4 mile lap. After the lap we were all assigned stations, 2 exercises done b2b per station, 3 sets, rotate.Overall: great first experience. If you sign up online they will give you a free workout. The owner, Tyler, texted me to set it up about an hour later. Lagrande pushed me, and the environment was incredibly positive. I do wish they had more showers, but all in all I will be joining.

Owners are very knowledgeable and passionate about helping their clients. The equipment is all new and the lay out is very well thought out. They also have equipment that most other gyms dont. I highly recommend that anyone who hasnt been in this gym atleast stops by to take a look!

Great team atmosphere with amazing workouts. 24 hour availability. You wont be sorry!

Fantastic service and excellent coaches.Ive personally lost almost 60 lbs.They really do care a lot.

Gym is good but one of the head coaches Zach is rude and not customer friendly.

Awesome workout facility!!!

Great workouts, high quality equipment, fun atmosphere.

Friendly staff and knowledgeable coaches

Workin in my beach bod...

I was in town for the day and dropped in for a workout and was blown away by the quality of the gym/equipment and how friendly the owner was. I’ll be back. Highly recommended
