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.

This gym and the coaches saved my soul! When I started going to the gym I couldn't get off the floor without help. I felt like I would never be strong again after a head injury. No one ever told me I could do anything. Along came Ellie. I started with no weights. Slowly I have worked my way up to adult bars with weights on them and I can run up there stairs. Knowing someone believes in you and is so encouraging makes all the difference in the world. Not only do they build your body up but they build your heart and mind up. They offer sound bathing, and breathwork. I have cried so many healing tears. This is the place I feel most safe in a world that doesn't feel very safe to me. This is 100% the gym to go too. They will work with you to help you no matter where you on, on your journey in this life!!! Plus they have 2 amazing cats!!!

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 ✨

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.

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.
