Shifted Athletics

Shifted Athletics is a gym in Palm Desert built around CrossFit classes that follow Invictus programming. A beginner-friendly On Ramp program teaches movement basics in a group setting, one-on-one personal training covers individual goals, and the gym is a Hyrox affiliate with training for race-day goals. Coaches scale workouts for beginners and competitive athletes alike, and the gym has been running since 2009.

New people usually start with a free trial class, a coach-led intro where goals are discussed and the gym is shown. Memberships include Unlimited, 12 classes a month, and youth and teen options for kids ages 6 and up. Drop-in visitors are welcome for CrossFit classes or open gym if they book online before arriving. The gym is on St Charles Pl in central Palm Desert, just off main city routes.
