Reviews of Max Oxygen Crossfit Downtown (Gym)

Greg Masanz

Awesome box! From out of town and did a drop-in. Everyone was friendly, awesome gym overlooking the downtown, and coach was great. I'd go back again.

Summary: Outstanding experience. Accommodating, friendly, and top-notch, face-to-face coaching provided to a beginner despite a very large class that session. I was traveling through DSM and emailed Jess the day before about a drop-in and bringing my sister, who's a beginner. Jess was very accommodating, prompt, and welcoming. Upon dropping in the next day, Jess and Leah made us feel welcome. There was a very large class that session, but Leah lead a great warm-up and skill review none-the-less. She provided face-to-face instruction and scaling plans to the beginners, and continued to provide close monitoring and feedback during the WOD. They just moved facilities, so the area is still under some construction at no deficit to the program. Spacious area with high-quality equipment. Model Crossfit gym with supervision and coaching other gyms should be taking notes on.

This gym is by far the best in Des Moines. The coaches are amazing and will do everything they can to make you not only feel comfortable and welcomed, but also safe and confident in your workout, no matter your level of fitness. The gym itself is nice, organized and clean. The people and community that attend are also amazing and welcoming. If you are looking for a new gym, or a place to drop in, this is it! You won't want to leave!

Best crossfit gym hands down. Great community, by far the best hour of my day.

My wife and I are both CF L1 trainers, and we travel quite a bit. We like to call ourselves "CrossFit tourists," because one of our favorite things to do on the road is check out new gyms. There's always something unique, something to learn, and a fun new vibe. I am also the managing editor of a leading health and fitness website, so I know a few things about best practices, and what a gym looks and sounds like when it's being run the right way. Max Oxygen CrossFit Downtown is doing it right, in spades. Great programming, enthusiastic and knowledgeable coaching staff, and probably the best community I've experienced in the dozens of gyms that I've dropped into. No exaggeration. My wife and I were in town for 4 days, and worked out 3 times with the MOCFDT crew. At the end of it, we all ended up at a martini bar next to our AirBnB, yakking away like old friends. If every gym was like this place, there would be no out of shape people, anywhere. I am now searching for excuses to go back to Des Moines (I know, right?) just so I can go throw down and hang out with these people again.

Best Gym Experience Ever - I have been in US for 3 1/2 years and move every 6-7 months to new location due to work and it’s hard to keep the momentum with day to day surprises but it’s been 79 days with Max Oxygen and I’m still on. The best part is the energy and knowledge that I get from the trainers here, they are eager to help and willing to take time with you and also they understand what you are striving for and they will get there further while having fun. I can feel the changes in my strength and energy and I can see the changes in my body. They have system that I can track my progress and compare the results and it feels great that yes I’m getting better each day. Huge Thank You Jess, Dilon, Kory, Dan, Kristin, Jamal & Leah - You are doing great!
