Completely redefined fitness and community for me. I’ve been a member since 2020 and can’t see myself ever going anywhere else. Unmatched coaching and support.

I have been with Elijah since he first opened his doors in the metro area. I was drawn to the personalized coaching from a CrossFit Games competitor, but Unorthodox is so much more than that. Yes, you’ll get individualized coaching but you’ll also become a part of the family culture that is prioritized here. There are many gym outings, dinners, friendly competitions that bring members together to create a close knit tribe.Don’t be intimidated to check out these classes. Elijah and the coaches are great at getting you an appropriate workout for your fitness level. They know how to scale movements and weights to make sure you feel good during your workout. Definitely check this gym out!

I had heard about the gym from a friend at church and she invited me to a Tribe Thursday! From the minute I walked into the gym, everyone was very friendly and the coaches, like Elijah Muhammad - really work with you to make sure you are doing the movements correct and not just pumping it out. I participated in the first CrossFit Challenge and really pushed myself. My coach, Shawn Kelly was awesome, very knowledgeable and can answer any questions I have regarding CrossFit and my workout journey! After the challenge, I really liked the results and the comradely of the gym so much that I became a member and now apart of the tribe!!

I've been at this gym for about a year now and it is hands down the best gym! The tribe that Elijah and his coaches have created is unmatched. Everyone is welcoming, non-judgemental, and encouraging! You are challenged on a daily basis and you are constantly improving/learning everytime you attend a class. My favorite part; I get to bring my daughter! ❤

I’ve never been to a more welcoming and supportive gym. Not only will you receive outstanding instruction, you’ll find a group of people that support you every day.

Did a drop in, very impressed with the coaching. Nice facility, and the regulars are friendly too.Their treadmills stand out from all other gyms including lifetime, motorless and incredible to run on.The bumper plates are high quality and don't bounce everywhere.I would absolutely go back and I do recommend it, though the work crowd should note they don't have showers.

Hands down the best Crossfit gym in West Des Moines. Go in and talk to Elijah and let him hit you with that Crossfit knowledge.

The level of knowledge and instruction at this crossfit box is superb. Coaches here are professional experienced CrossFit competitors but also are fitness professionals. They have the experience and knowledge to help someone with no knowledge of CrossFit to safely get the most out of the workout!
