I'm brand new to East Dallas CrossFit. A friend, whose also a certified CrossFit coach at another…read moregym, encouraged me to give EDCF a try since it's so close to our work. I was really nervous since I've heard how difficult CrossFit can be and how out of shape and overweight I've become over the past few years... I always thought you had to be in shape before you even try CrossFit. Being so disgusted and frustrated with my excessive weight gain (I've gained 120 pounds over the past 5 years) my friend signed me up for the free 1:1 intro course to give it a try... and, man, it was challenging but I found that I really did like enjoy it! I'm half way through my pre-course trainings and Ryan has been awesome. He's so patient and very thorough each time he teaches me a new movement or corrects my form. It's still challenging for me but not to the point where I feel defeated. It's more of a motivational challenge... which is definitely a sign of awesome coaching! I initially walked through the door to target my excessive weight gain but now I find my self setting little goals like where I'll try beat my time from a previous session. I still have a VERYYY long way to go but I'm really happy that I've found this place. Thank you Ryan & East DallasCrossFit. :)

I pulled up to East Dallas CrossFit a few months back to attend a free Saturday workout and see if…read moreCrossFit was right for me. I sat there in my truck, watching in the rear view mirror as the earlier class finished their workout. A bunch of incredibly fit people all lifting massive amounts of weight. All I could think was, "what have I gotten myself into?" I finally swallowed hard and went inside to try my hand at CrossFit. Ryan greeted me and after a few minutes I realized that I was the only person attending this workout. I wasn't sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing. I couldn't blend in to the crowd, but then again I didn't have to worry about embarrassing myself in front of anyone other than Ryan (and surely he had seen worse, hadn't he?). We started the warm up with some stretches, air squats and other movements that I could just barely do. So after a few minutes of warming up and another few minutes seeing where I was physically by asking me to try a few more movements, Ryan says, "OK, so now let's do the workout." I'm thinking, "that wasn't the workout?" So, I spent the next 10 or 12 minutes doing wall balls, ring rows and 200 meter runs until I felt like I was going to die, but I finished. I felt destroyed physically at the end of the workout, but proud that I had finished. It was only later that I realized that Ryan gave me a workout that was easy enough that I would finish, but difficult enough (based on my fitness level) that I would realize how hard I was going to have to work if I decided to join. I started the prep course a week or so later. On my second or third prep course class, the WOD (Workout Of the Day) was rowing and lifting. Once again, I felt like I might be in over my head, but this time it wasn't a coach, but another member, who came over after he finished his own workout and said, "come on man, that bar isn't going to lift itself!" He, along with several other people, encouraged me to finish the workout, which I did. I wondered to myself what kind of response my struggling to finish would have gotten from those working out around me at some other gym. I can only imagine that it would have been a sideways stare or the stink eye. That was the moment that I knew I was working out at the right place. Since that time Ryan, Trevor, and Drew have guided and corrected my form - and continue to do so, frequently - while the amazing community has supported my efforts. I can't imagine there is any gym better than East Dallas CrossFit. Excellent coaching, excellent community!

I'm doing my second class later this week and will definitely be returning for more!

Being an experienced crossfitter that has dropped in to many boxes I always appreciate speedy responses and getting all waivers and payment out of the way ahead of time. He set me up for the 530 pm class the next day but my schedule changed and I was able to go earlier. I changed my reservation online. When I arrived I was greeted by Nick and he even remembered that he originally scheduled me for 530. Love that attention to the details. The class was faster paced and kept moving which I appreciate. I would say that you should have the fundamental understanding to drop into any box, but definitely needed when the box keeps things moving quickly or you will get lost easily. I would definitely return on my next trip to Addison. The location was pretty convenient to my hotel and it was spacious. All in all it was a welcoming environment and I left being thankful that I could squeeze in some fitness on my business trip.

I've definitely noticed in just a couple of months, a huge change in my fitness and strength. The coaches are there to push you and to also help you which is exactly what I need.

This gym is my second exposure to Cross Fit. This time, I decided to stay at this gym…read more I decided to do one of their Drop in Saturday 9AM classes, and I just felt a community and family coming out of this gym. Garry, the owner, always stresses doing WODs that involve partners so that teamwork could be built across the gym community. The basics course I took was definitely worth the money as it started to solidify everything I have heard about Cross Fit. Yes, you will get bruised, you will get roughed up, but, that is just the nature of Cross Fit itself. From the knowledge coaches to the family I've began to found here that loves working out; I can see myself being at this gym for a while. The personalized 1-on-1 instruction time you get with each of the coaches is valuable. Most importantly, all the coaches emphasize safety over quantity, which is vital in doing Cross Fit. As long as I'm in the DFW area, I will keep coming back to this gym.

I'm first to review? Shut. The. Front. Door. I wanted to review a place that I LOVE for my 40th…read morereview. And this gym is definitely a fav! Crossfit Heat is definitely a great gym for learning proper form while weight lifting. You get a daily personal trainer for a whole month for what would normally cost maybe 4 sessions with one. Okay, its a "personal trainer" in a group setting, but they keep adding classes if class sizes ever get too big. So it always feels like I have my own personal trainer. And that's how you have to look at Crossfit. You are not paying for a gym membership. You are paying for unlimited personal training. In that regard, this is totally worth the price. I have learned so, so much about weight training. Push press? Overhead squat? Before I joined this gym, I had no idea what those were. They take their time and really teach you each move, where to set your feet, where to use leverage, and all the while, giving you strength and teaching you how to grow from it. Joining this gym has really changed my perspective. As a massage therapist, I study the human body. And I can say that the trainers here focus on form and function, and do a great job at making sure you never hurt yourself. I have had both Tiffany and Garry both order me to bring down the weight I was using to a lower weight, because my form was not top notch yet. THAT is the kind of feedback that a real pro brings to the table. All of the trainers at this gym have proven to have that kind of discipline, and its very impressive. Warning: Like *any* gym that uses weights, it is YOUR responsibility to take it slow and easy, and ask aggressive questions about form, until YOU are doing it right. If you try to grab a weight heavier than your weakest muscle (like the shoulder, anyone?), and you overdo it, you will injure yourself. Every time. Don't blame Crossfit for this. YOU need to take it slower and ask more question. I've spent an entire week working with a piece of PVC pipe instead of a weight. Trust me. Its worth the weight. I have great form. And as I move up, I do so confidently, and without injury! And PS. I know there are vids of people from Crossfit doing stupid poorly formed exercises. Guess what? There are vids from every gym of people doing stupid things. You should judge the gym based on the knowledge and training of the people there. And based on that, this gym gets 5 stars! All around one of the best gym experiences in my life. They start with a warm up and walk you through the whole process. Great experience.

I began classes at The Gym just over a year ago after a leading a completely sedentary lifestyle…read more The workouts are fairly rigorous, but the coaches are excellent and can help modify any portion of the workout, as needed. I attend the fitness classes, which combine strength and cardio work, without the more complicated barbell lifts found in CrossFit classes. If you're already in a healthy place, you should be able to jump in and go immediately. If you're more like I was a year ago, the coaches can help you understand how to ease into an exercise regimen in a healthy way that won't get you hurt. The Gym has a friendly atmosphere/culture. Everyone is encouraging and kind. The coaches are exceptionally helpful and unless you have extensive experience (and even if you do), I believe the coaching/help is worth the extra cost relative to what you'd spend at a mega-gym.

Before a bike accident I was a competitive off-road athlete and my fitness achieved at the gym helped me to advance further and ride faster than I thought was possible. After the accident and starting over with fitness and mobility, the gym and coaches were great at helping me modify the workouts so that I could participate and rehabilitate. I love just being able to show up and have a plan ready to go, and the group workout environment is great whether you like it for competitive reasons or to just be around some friends.
