Reviews of Icehouse Fit (Gym)

Kayla Jo Loughead

A new challenge each day surrounded by an amazing support system. I look forward to workout every day because of the fun and personal environment the coaches have created.

When I first joined Icehouse over a year ago I was nervous - I had read a lot about the potential to get hurt doing crossfit, and I had never really lifted weights before (I spent the first three months figuring out which name went with which lift). Sara and Courtney (owners and coaches) are meticulous about safety and proper training. They continue to tweak my lifting form, but I'm now confident in what I do at the gym (I'm also a lot stronger). They create a space where you can ask questions that feel dumb, but aren't. If you're new to crossfit, this is the place to start. Going to a class at Icehouse means that I'll get a much better workout than I would on my own at a gym. But the best part is that I don't have to think about what that workout will be. I show up and Sara or Courtney will tell me what to do and how to do it. It's like having a personal trainer without paying the price of a personal trainer or suffering through a workout alone. The coaches know their stuff and will help figure out what you're capable of doing. I've been surprised by how much this gym has become a happy place for me. The space is brand new and amazing, and the people are supportive. I'm not sure I would have stuck with crossfit if I had started at another gym. If you're skeptical or uncertain, this might be the gym for you.

This place is for everyone! No matter where you are in your fitness journey, icehouse will help you get to the next level. Great coaches and amazing community.

Worth every penny. I feel like I'm in better shape now at 31 than I was at 21.

I dropped in three times over the course of a week while I was in town for business. I wasn't sure what to expect walking in, but quickly discovered that Sara and Courtney run a great facility. They're professional, friendly, down-to-earth people, good coaches who emphasize safety and proper lifting technique in their classes. I was glad to see they are very attentive to their members in class, they stay engaged the whole hour, and offer encouragement and feedback throughout the class. They have high quality equipment and take good care of their space. Overall, the atmosphere and energy of the gym are good. It's a good place to get a good workout. If I'm back in Fargo, I'll stop in again for sure.

I'm not a competitive person. I didnt play sports growing up and my fitness background is working out on the elliptical when I had a free membership in college. So in other words I wasn't too sure about Crossfit. However, Icehouse Crossfit is amazing. I went to friends and family week a year ago and experienced not only a really intense but doable workout (everything is scaleable) but an amazing camaraderie. The Icehouse Coaches have created a community that's welcoming and fun. A few months later I joined bootcamp and eventually became a member. My only regret is not joining earlier.

If you think you know what crossfit is already because you do a lot of research on Facebook, I would ask that you drop your expectations of what you think you'll find. I thought I would not be able to work-out at a crossfit gym because I've had 3 knees surgeries. Wrong. I thought I couldn't do it, because I skipped leg day for 24 years. Wrong. I thought I wouldn't like it because it's a gym and they lift weights. Wrong. If you want to get in shape, have fun while doing it, never have to wonder what "work out" you should do, become a part of a community, get crazy, loud, fun, weird...and at the same time surprise yourself at what your body can do... Then maybe you should set up a meeting. Sara and Courtney are 2 amazing coaches and people!

I joined Icehouse in December 2016 and my only regret is that I didn't join sooner! The coaches and other members are all amazing... I feel like I've gained a new family. Everyone is so kind, helpful, and supportive. The new facility is incredible and the workouts are always fun and challenging. So glad to be a part of something so wonderful!

Julie Cardwell

I love this place as the people are friendly and the workouts are good.

Cherae Reeves

CrossFit Icehouse is amazing! Personally, I lacked the motivation to workout and stay healthy and this gym gave me that motivation back. I have a background in sports but there are people of all different abilities and we all help one another. It's a positive atmosphere where the coaches want to see you do well and don't just care about whether you've paid or not. This gym brought me back to life! Definitely recommend to anyone looking to get back into shape or just spice up their current workout routine. 5 stars ✨

Nicholas Libert

Great community and people!

Chelsea Pace

This is my home away from home. I joined after years of dwindling physical activity and ability, and now I am stronger than I ever was before. I was nervous to even try because I was so out of shape, and now I am amazed at what I can do less than a year later. If you can't do a movement, the coaches offer alternatives that challenge you without being easy. The coaches are incredible. The other members are amazing. Anyone can do this. And this is the place to do it.

It decent not as hard core as I want

Julia Kowalski

Incredible coaches and community. As a relatively non-athletic person looking to add structure and strength-training to my half-a$$ed, solitary cardio routine, I was initially nervous about the physical demands and class-based routine of a CrossFit gym. I'm so glad I overcame my hesitation. Sarah and Courtney offer insight on everything from how to improve your back squats by curling a toe, to how to make a space for fitness and positive attitude in your everyday life. The community they've built reflects those insights, and their commitment to growth shows in their bright, welcoming new space. Every class manages to be both familiar and new enough to stay interesting. Over the past six months, I've noticed remarkable improvements in my running, my everyday strength and flexibility, and my overall health. I can't recommend CrossFit Icehouse highly enough!

Alison Sonstelie

This place has renewed my love for working out! The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and FUN. The community is outstanding, I will be a member for life. I cannot say enough good things about this place!

Paul Sandstrom

Droped into Crossfit Icehouse while working in Fargo. Very welcoming, great staff and members. Thank you Crossfit Icehouse!

Kelli Bourke

Inspiring. Dedicated. Fun. These are some words to describe Icehouse. I enjoy going to classes and trying new activities - running, lifting as well as learning how to keep my mind in shape as well as my body. The coaches are dedicated to their athletes and want everyone to succeed. I would recommend Icehouse to anyone looking for a challenge and a change.

Stephen Baird

The community at this gym is excellent and the coaches are all first rate. You'll get a hard workout here, but you're never pushed past your limits and it's fine to try and fail. The coaches always keep your safety in mind. Give it a try. You'll probably like it.

Kass Bangasser

My experience here has been wonderful. The workouts are fun and exciting, the members and coaches are very supportive/motivating. This ice house has its own community. I am so happy to be a part of it!

Daley Monson

I can't express enough my appreciation for the community of CrossFit Icehouse. From the athlete's to the coaches, staff, and owners, you will be welcomed by all with a smile. Their goal is to build everyday athletes and accomplish their goal day in and day out. If you have ever been nervous or have any sort of reservation regarding a gym like this or CrossFit in general, step inside CrossFit Icehouse an be prepared to have your horizons grow!

Lindsay Koval

Can't really put into words the awesomeness of this place! Icehouse makes working out fun, challenging, and rewarding! These coaches have the knowledge, patience, love, and passion for what they do and the community that they've built is incomparable. Great clean new facility, great environment, great coaches, great members...everything is awesome!

Whitney Mead

Great community! Clean gym, knowledgeable coaching staff, well-programmed workouts that are adaptable to your ability level, and a welcoming environment. New location is beautiful!

Hannah Yexley

I am constantly amazed at how proud each person is of themselves after finishing the workouts. Everyone is very encouraging, and the coaches are great at pushing you to do your best.

Jessica Lupkes

I dropped in to a CrossFit Icehouse class as I was traveling through Fargo for work. The group was awesome and the Coach, Steph, was very engaged and knowledgeable and managed the class splendidly. Thanks for an awesome workout and accepting me into your community!

K C

Amazing place to workout! Coaches are extremely knowledgeable and motivating! They can modify your workouts to your fitness level, and increase them as you improve. I hated going to gyms before because I always felt self-conscious about the shape I was in, but decided to give this place a try. I am so glad I did, this is the most non-judgemental place I have ever worked out at, the community is so supportive and friendly, nothing but high fives and smiles at the end of a workout because you all finished! I will never go anywhere else!!

Jeremy Grinsteinner

I was never a very active person until I started attending classes here. It's the best!

Jacob D Friedman

While I've always loved playing sports, I never enjoyed simply working out (e.g. lifting weights, going for a run, etc...) until I found Icehouse. I was very reluctant to try crossfit for a number of reasons, but Courtney and Sara earned my trust and I now look forward to going as much as possible. They have created an environment that is supportive and fun. I am in far better shape than I was when I started, and I'm enjoying myself far more than I ever expected. The coaches are also very focused on safety, which is important to me. I love this place!

Seina Freidig

I love the community aspect! They make it fun, safe, and inclusive for everyone. I was impressed how quickly my body and mind changed after joining. I loved how facing my fears in the gym translated to other areas of my life! I'd recommend other people give CrossFit Icehouse a try because they have the best coaches in the Fargo-Moorhead area and the workouts are top of the line!

Jared Anders

We did a drop in here & had a lot of fun! Having tried several local crossfit gyms, they especially had a very nice welcoming vibe

Tiffany Fox

Great space for a workout. Warm and friendly people. Sara and Courtney are just awesome and helpful.

Ben Hamilton

Sara, Courtney and Jake are awesome. I never considered myself someone that would get into Crossfit and now I love it. Icehouse has fun culture, lots of support and I've learned a ton. I can't recommend this place enough!

matthew korol

Crossfit Icehouse is simply the best box I've ever been to! Courtney and Sara have created such an awesome community and gym. If you're a newbie or experienced Crossfitter this is the place for you! I've traveled to many gyms but there's no need to look any further. The members here rock! No egos just a bunch of people encouraging others to live better!

Theresa Klingbile

Amazing coaches and facility. They welcome you in with open arms and you really become a part of the family. I wish I would have joined sooner!

Nicholas Benjamin

New facility is beautiful, spacious and perfect for getting a workout in. The coaches are knowledgeable, motivating and great at pushing you to a higher level of fitness while keeping you safe.

Elli Feist

It's a big whole family!!! It focuses on make you an all around athlete and bettering your health mentally and physically. Everyone is great here!!!

Leslie Pladson

CrossFit Icehouse is a great place that has an amazing community. Sara and Courtney put so much time, passion, and hard work into making this place second to none. They bring fitness to all people, all abilities through their first class programming and instruction. They take the time to get to know their members and go out of their way to make you feel welcome and a part of the community. My life has been enriched in so many ways by joining this CrossFit family. Whether you're a drop in or potential member, come check this place out! You won't be disappointed.

Robbie Wenzloff

Waiting for a visitor is tough stuff

Ryan Sawyer

Dropped in from out of town. Coach Skeds was very welcoming. Was able to get some pointers on form and efficiency in my lifts. Highly recommend.

Travis Shape

Love this place !!!

Kevin Lau

Initial reaction was humbleness. The coaches, Sara and Courtney were terrific. They accommodated your skill/fitness level, they were encouraging, and they gave you their undivided attention. As I grew with the gym they continued this philosophy and also pushed you, they decided to add this guy name Jake

Jessica Rognlien

CrossFit Icehouse is amazing! The new gym is so spacious...lots of room for activities! Not to mention the welcoming coaches and members. :) If you're looking for a great atmosphere and workout then come check them out!

Carly Dalbey

CrossFit Icehouse quickly became my home away from home, and being in the best shape of my adult life is just an added bonus!! The cost of crossfit usually causes people to hesitate, but it's definitely worth every penny! When I had a regular gym membership, I would maybe get there 2-3 times a week... however, at Icehouse I am usually there 5 times a week, and on weekends when possible! It's extremely addicting, in the best possible way! Don't hesitate, drop in and check it out!!

Erin glennon

Crossfit Icehouse is an amazing place to workout. The coaches really know what they are doing and take their time to make sure your form is perfect. The people are amazing too. Everyone is very welcoming. It's a great place to workout and I love spending my mornings there.

Warren Christensen

CrossFit Icehouse is the island of misfit toys. The coaches and clientele Icehouse pushes back on the notion that CrossFit is only for elite athletes. The community of this gym makes incredible efforts to ensure that each and every person that walks through the door feels welcomed and challenged to improve themselves. Come in and improve yourself.

Kirk Hanson

Crossfit Icehouse is a great gym for all skill levels. The coaches are very knowledgeable and can help make even the most intimidating workout work for you. Sara and Courtney have cultivated a very welcoming atmosphere and community at Icehouse. I highly recommend stopping in an checking it out for yourself.

Leah Roehl

Icehouse is great, highly recommend for any level of skill. They will scale the workouts to be exactly your level and it is a very positive environment. I am not one that usually has the motivation to do fitness on my own, but with Icehouse you go in for an hour and are usually sore the next day just doing what they tell you. The only planning you have to do is to show up. The coaches are very knowledgeable. If you have any hesitation or are intimidated or lazy about fitness, don't worry they will support you here. They seem to know the science of exercise. I would recommend to give it a try.

Tucker Williams

I competed in the Festivus Games at this location and the staff and members welcomed me with open arms. They provided tips for me going forward and gave me an overall wonderful experience. Would love to go back and visit whenever I'm in the FM area! Nice work!

Kayla Knopp

Sara and Courtney are professional and down to earth people who genuinely care about your needs as a person. I was surprised how my mind changed about the idea of "crossfit" and weights. I wasn't intimidated by the weights anymore.

laura zeiher

I can't say enough good things about Crossfit Icehouse. It's the best gym in town with elite, dedicated and passionate coaches. Coach Sara and Courtney have really found their niche, they care about the whole you and strive to make all aspects of your live better, starting with fitness. I love being able to go to a place where I feel instantly comfortable and able to be my best self. The programming is strong and if you stick to it you will see benefits in ways you weren't expecting. Something that's unique about this place is the community. When you join Icehouse you join and extended family. If you're on the fence about checking out Icehouse or worried that crossfit isn't for you, consider this your wake up call. This place is truly special and we're waiting for you to be a part of it.

Sara and Courtney are excellent coaches who are knowledgeable and skilled. The atmosphere is competitive in the best way possible where everybody is pushing each other to be the best that they can be to reach their goals. The workouts are varied and interesting to keep up motivation and everything is adaptable so it is truly for everybody!
