We fell in love with CrossFit in 2020 during the pandemic. Because gyms were closed, we learned a lot about CrossFit on YouTube and through books and did workouts with minimal equipment in our garage. We became members at a CrossFit gym that summer and got our Level 1 certifications that same week. Kaylee ended her career in education soon after to be a CrossFit trainer full time. Cody continued to coach part time. We always knew we wanted to open our own gym someday with the motivation to expose more people to CrossFit and functional fitness; and to help as many people get and stay healthy as we can. We are beyond excited to be living out our longtime goal in West Des Moines now.
