Get yourself ready for work. You will get what you put into it…read more I was guilted by colleagues to come, and came out a better more humbler person for it. This gym is stocked with functional fitness equipment and is set up for tens of folks to get their WODs done. The Saturday morning WOD was a serious test of character and the first of future visits to get me back into shape. Top: Try your best but don't overdo it on the first day either. Your more likely to come back if you don't injure yourself. The facility has a front desk and glass doors in the front and in the back there's more parking spaces but on Saturday morning we used the space to wheel out the cardio equipment, assault bikes and rowers. Towards the back there is a bathroom for one and two functioning water fountains. You will be wall balling weighted smash balls, lifting Olympic barbells with rubber weights, kipping and toe touching from pull up bars, stepping (or jumping) onto boxes...it has everything. Right off of north Doniphan, and behind a daycare center. You can find plenty of parking spot. Drop by...

Ironworks Gym East in Fort Bliss also know as Mission Essential Fitness "MEF"…read more Is located off Anzio way in East Bliss. Its a large well set large heavy duty tent with an outstanding AC and lots of Cross Fitness equipment along with a few treadmills. Yes, many staff here don't like it when we state that essentially it is a cross fitness facility but it is. Iron Works East is open from Monday to Friday from 0600-1800 hrs with guided 45 minutes unit training available at 0630. If you are planning to bring your squad/platoon/company here for pt please call ahead and make a reservation; this is very important so they can have the appropriate number of staff available to guide and train appropriately. I have always had a very positive experience; the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and patient. All troops must have their CAC card to enter. I do wish they had "cubies" where one can leave cell phone and water bottle etc.

This place is also commonly known as the MEF or Mission Essential Fitness. I come here most…read moreafternoons during my lunch break to do the 30-station work out they have on the board. Its a great workout that only lasts 45 minutes and helps keep your cardio up when you're tired of running everyday which the army loves for some reason. With that being said, the gym is just alright. The equipment they have is geared towards cross fit/Olympic lifts which is great and is really all you need for a good workout. What this place needs, however, is a snack bar that you can buy shakes or food from after your workout. As it stands, it's purely a gym and that's it. The speakers they have are dated and it's obvious they are on their last leg; they need to be updated. Also, the bathrooms - especially the showers - need to be cleaned more regularly. The place appears to be old and run down when the facility honestly isn't that old. It's the failure to maintain the facility which gives off the appearance of it being old. The main guy at the front desk in the mornings - Jon - is extremely helpful and friendly and will gladly explain any exercise you have questions about. He's also the guy you talk to if you're interested in "competing" for the 1,000lb club. All in all, I enjoy coming here as I get a great afternoon workout during my lunch break. Hit the MEF!!

Not only is there a cardio section, machine and free weight areas, there is a smoothie bar, a cinema to catch movies and do some cardio. There is also a separate room for group fitness sessions.

To the response from the gym:…read more Those are regular classes, not hot yoga, and all your yoga classes are in the same room. Why would you like to heat up the room in a dessert city? It is a desert. You just don't care. So many people complained it's too hot, and you're heating up the room?! Why? I don't want to use strong words, but readers, think about it. In a small room with 20 people doing yoga, in the middle of class, when everyone was exhausted and painful for the heat, the gym manager said they're heating up the room. Simply, Why??

I absolutely love this gym. My husband and I had a routine at EP Fitness and I was getting so bored…read morewith it. We decided to try out this gym and use the free 3 day trial. I really didn't want to go. Crossfit? Are you kidding me?? I can't do that stuff! When we got there, everyone introduced themselves to us and they were so friendly. It felt weird but nice at the same time. We signed up after that first night. The classes are only an hour long and yes, they're tough. But I love the challenge. Even if you can't do a pull-up, push up or can't even lift the barbell, the coaches help modify the work outs for you until you get to that level. This gym is a crossfit protocol gym. They focus a lot on the weights. They go through different cycles, which always keeps your body guessing. If we do end up doing a workout more than once, it's because they want to challenge us and see if we can beat our last time or reps. You check into the classes through their own app or online. There's different levels of memberships, depending how long you want to sign up for. And they even have specials every now and then. Any crossfit gym is pricy, but it's worth it. The owner designs all of the classes for us and puts in a lot of time and effort to make his gym what it is. All the coaches do. This gym is like a family now. Everyone is so nice, we have get togethers and gym shirt and hoodies for sale. Definitely give RKU a try.

I joined this "Box" after Crossfitting at another gym for nearly 6 months. I LOVED Crossfit! It…read morecompletely changed my body and my life! I relocated to El Paso so the hunt for Crossfit gyms began. Crossfit RKU has 2 locations. A North and East Location. I started out with the North location before I knew about the one in the East. The programming is solid. This is not a Crossfit gym that follows fads as far as training. I have no complaints about the training program at all! The main complaint, (which is a pretty big one if You know anything about Crossfit) is the community itself. Crossfit is unlike a regular global gym where You put Your headphones on and block out the outside world and workout. Here, community is everything. There is much encouragement and even the last person is cheered on as they are finishing their WOD or Workout of the Day. Here, not so much. This Crossfit gym is VERY clicky. Upon joining, all of the guys were friendly, but the women scowled as if You showed up to steal their boyfriend. (There are many couples here) and that really did not change. The only friendly females is the owners wife and the lady that collects the money. Other than that, they just stare. Especially during "partner wods" they pair up with each other and treat new people as if they have rabies or something. I actually decided to get over it because I was there to work out, but I did not look forward to going there. One day I overheard someone talking about the North location, which happened to be closer to my job, so I decided to try there. This location was MUCH better in terms of people being friendly. THe programming is good and the people were much nicer. Even after meeting a few of the girls there, they all talked about how people are at the East location which is why some of them drive further just to go here. I eventually decided that I no longer wanted to be a part of Crossfit RKU. At most Crossfit locations, what makes it different is that they don't bind You to a contract because it's about "community" more than the contract. You normally have to give 2-3 months notice and that's it. Not here. You have to either move or have a Doctors note. So I pay $130 per month and I don't go to the place. Because there are so many other Crossfit locations that get the"community" aspect and would not lock You into a contract if You don't want to be there, I would NOT recommend this box. There are too many other locations to experience the community of Crossfit. Crossfit RKU is not it. The only reason the place gets 2 stars is because their Programming is solid.

The crossfit area has everything needed for the classes. The classes are offered quite a few times a day and the gym provides childcare at a price. The coaches are knowledgeable with years of experience behind them. The WODS tend to be rough but scalable, which is exactly what I need. This gym also has an open area and a few other programs but I haven't attended those.
