Reviews of CrossFit Tempest (Gym)

Michael Schelske

Highly Recommend, the coaches are great and always walk you through the proper form before each workout. Great environment and great community of people is what makes this place the best.

I was excited when I learned in the local paper that a Crossfit gym had opened. The second I met coach Amber I had a feeling that I found something great! She’s created a culture of positivity and encouragement that extends to every member. She will also push you to achieve new skills and strength but isn’t afraid to scale you down on weight and movements until you can safely get there. All ages and skill levels please check it out! Leave your egos at the door and come in for a great and sweaty time.

Being out of the workout scene for about 6 years, I tried CrossFit Tempest. Little did I know it would be the first and last gym I ever joined! The coaches, atmosphere, support are amazing, I can’t say enough good things about it. Its hard to put into words other than you try it once and you’ll fall In love with it! I thought I would be embarrassed joining a gym. I was as a little shy at first but that quickly went away! The work outs are great, you can work your way up, I can’t say how amazing it is to be at this gym. There is so much they can offer a person at CrossFit Tempest!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Amber and Riley!!

Crossfit Tempest is a great gym/box! I did crossfit for 2.5 years before coming to this gym and it felt like I did not miss a beat transitioning from gym to gym. The coaches have a done a great job cultivating a positive, encouraging, safe, and healthy environment that fosters positive and REAL change for the athletes that attend this gym.

Positive environment and great coaching!! Every workout is intense but safely modified to each member and their fitness goal.

Love it here! Workouts have a huge variety of exercises that keep it interesting. Every workout can be scaled to be challenging and doable for any fitness level. Really enjoy the class-format - very encouraging and motivational environment. The thing I appreciate most is the coaching. The individual attention to help you learn the exercises and make sure they are done safely is beyond valuable.

Have you ever missed a week of workouts and thought, “Wow- I really miss going to the gym”? Hahaha, me either! UNTIL NOW! CrossFit Tempest is so awesome, I am actually bummed when I can’t get there! I am not kidding people! I really miss it! And it’s not those “endorphins” I hear people speak of- it’s the community. Amber and her crew have done a remarkable job of conveying not only their passion for the sport, but also their genuine interest in each and every person who walks through the door. For clarity- I am not an athlete- not even close. I’m a tired mom, with a body that has suddenly felt compelled to remind me that I’m no longer 18. Amber and Riley patiently modify, explain, and demonstrate. They know when to encourage and motivate- and when to tell me to chill. Basically- it’s perfection in a box* *thats a little Crossfit joke- you’ll get it if you join Tempest ;)

This is a great place! This is the only gym Ive signed up with that I have been consistently attending regularly and seen big steps towards my health and fitness. The environment with the people you workout with is like no other, they are there with their own health goals and they want to see you achieve your goals just like the coaching staff. This is also a gym for all ages I've workout next to people in there teens and people who are in there 50's. Come check it out.

Love! I have done almost everything when it comes to working out! But crossfit tempest has me hooked! Not only am I hooked but so are my kids (they have their own special class). Everything about Tempest is a step above the rest!

Visiting South Dakota from Dallas, Texas and dropped in for a Thursday evening workout with these amazing guys! New facility, great people, and easy parking! Everything you need is here! Thanks guys!

I definitely recommend Crossfit Tempest! Joining this gym was my new years resolution and I know that I will be doing crossfit the rest of my life! I love having a coach/personal trainer every single day! Classes are held at different times through out the day so everyone can make it work into their schedule! I am a 5am because that is the time that works for me. Everyone is very positive and always cheering each other on!

Katherine Thomsen

Skill-level is not important for having a great workout here! I’ve enjoyed coming to the morning class because of how supportive everyone is and the precise feedback from coaches on how to improve. Over time, it’s been fun to gain where I never thought I’d be able to (rope climbing). Check tempest out!

Before my first (free!) workout at Crossfit Tempest, I was almost phobic about working out in front of other people, especially as part of a group or in a class. I hadn't maintained any sort of regular exercise since high school, couldn't walk up a flight of stairs without breathing heavily, and had almost no experience with any sort of weight training, all of which made me hesitant to give Tempest a chance. Any feelings of intimidation that I had originally felt began to disappear within the first five minutes. Amber and Riley are both exceptionally knowledgeable, and are able to scale any workout or exercise to your individual needs and abilities, regardless of age, current level of fitness, or current/past injuries or joint issues. They not only provide you with the training and feedback to have confidence in performing the particular lifts and movements, but also work closely with you to reinforce proper form and technique, to prevent injury and make safety a priority. The community itself is very supportive and fosters a sense of camaraderie that makes it easy and rewarding to keep going back. I have never felt anything less than entirely welcome and part of the group, even as a newcomer or while attending classes at different times of day than my regular 11:30AM. Tempest also provides supplemental information and classes, like the recent Nutrition Seminar, that help you to further improve your health and happiness while you aren't there for a workout. The only way I would ever continue going back to a gym (day after day, week after week, month after month), is if I both enjoyed the time I spent there and felt better prepared for the rest of my life after I left. Crossfit Tempest has gone above and beyond all of my expectations, and I am very happy that I decided to try my first class.

Amazing atmosphere, dedicated owner, and just your every day people working on bettering themselves-and cheering you on as you try to better yourself as well! Definitely addicted to these workout! (They aren’t always pretty, but they’re worth it!!! )

I have been going to CrossFit Tempest for over a year now. I love the community and what it has done for my physical fitness. I’m in the military and recently went to a school and outside of my workouts at the gym, I did very little additional running. I had the best run time I’ve had in 3 years. It is a welcoming, no judgement gym, which is refreshing. The coaches are knowledgeable and sincerely care about you and your experience. They will modify the workout or movements to fit you and your fitness level. I tore up my feet during some military training. I didn’t have to skip the gym because the coach changed one of the movements to accommodate my injury so I could participate without pain or further injury. I could go on and on, but if you just give it a try you’ll quickly fall for the constantly varied workouts and fun environment for all ages!
