We just completed our first session and we ate more than satisfied that we joined. The staff is very welcoming, genuine and seem very knowledgeable. We are embarrassingly out of shape, but Coach Dan was super encouraging without any hint of the kind of body shaming or muscle/body type favoritism that one comes across if you are more fluffy looking than muscular. The entire place was clean and there was an abundant amount of equipment. There are members of varying fitness levels and ages. This is the place we've been looking for to help us on our fitness journey. read more

CrossFit Woodbridge is an excellent gym with excellent coaching staff. Their programming over the past few years has been top notch, going as far as to incorporate stabilization exercises, breath work, and other protocols not always seen with most CrossFit gyms. As a chiropractor who recommends functional exercise to his clients, I feel comfortable referring my clients to CFW for both general exercise as well as improving rehabilitative goals. Top notch. read more

Joined in March 2015. I had to leave in August on military orders and confirmed with the owner Dan as soon as I got them I was leaving. Two days after departing I was charged for an entire month of membership, followed by a second charge for the same amount ($140) four days later. Like many who try to reach Dan outside of the gym, he did not respond to emails or requests for refund. Since I am out of Virginia now I had to call my bank in order to get an investigation opened on the unauthorized charges. This doesn't even cover the partial refund I am owed from the initial deposit. He owes me over 400 dollars. What sucks is I had a great transformation at the gym, but its overshadowed with his lack of support. I am assuming he doesn't bother with phones because there are a bunch of people like me asking him to take care of things and he's lazy. This apparently is a recurring problem with the gym, and I am definitely not the only person who has issues with it. After dealing with my refunds, I plan on filing a petition to examine his affiliate license with Crossfit HQ. This is not how an affiliate should be run. If you or another former member have had an issue with funding, post a review about your experience. Don't let lazy ownership be a part of the Crossfit community! read more

My 8yo daughter loves this gym and the children's coaches (Yves/Susan) are absolutely amazing! They're firm, patient, and know what they're doing. I appreciate that they give you a free one day trial before you sign your child up and pay. Not many programs do that. My daughter is in great shape and is more active now. She is toned, strong, and more confident now when doing physical activities. Thank you Crossfit, Woodbridge VA! read more

Received a letter from a debt collector after 3 years!! I attended the classes barely 3 times, the 4th was my last. I arrived late to class trying my best to make it in time after work. When I would arrive he had to stop for me to get up to speed with class. On the 4th class which I arrived late, Dan told me that I can not come late and recommended I attended another scheduled class. I told him at that time that I tried my best to make it in at time but was unable and I wanted to stop the classes. Again he recommended for me to attend another class. My card was charged in July 2015 for barely going 4 times. I called him right away and told him to please stop further charges. He said I had to give a 30 day notice. I said ok, that was my notice and I also told him in class. My card was charged again in August 2015. Called Dan and told him to stop the charge. Dan said it was not his problem that I couldn't attend. He brought up other people that did the same and will continue to charge me. Called my bank asap and changed my account. Never heard from him again. But wait, after 3 years I received a letter of collection for $2,800. I called the debt collection company and told them I have a email sent to him on August 2015 to not charge my card. I somehow I STILL have records of 2015 emails. Did Dan think I didn't have records and this is why he waited 3 year??? Now waiting for the debt collector to review and call me back. read more

This is the first crossfit gym I joined and a fave...more than a place to workout...a great community too. They are in the process of expanding to include new programs...so should be even better once they have it up and running. Check it out and you'll be hooked. read more

By far the worst CrossFit box I've been too. I'm military and I've been a member of many CrossFit gyms around the world....I stepped foot in CrossFit Woodbridge as a drop in and mentioned I've been through many on ramp and personal training classes so I have the basics and advance skills pretty down pack at this point, but forgot the coach's name but said to me "you're military and that training doesn't count here." Did I not just say I've been CrossFitting at CrossFit gyms since 2011(Not on base, actual CrossFit gyms)....(Crossfit Asia in Okinawa, Japan, Crossfit El Paso, CrossFit 915, CrossFit Carolina, CrossFit Oahu, CrossFit 808, CrossFit Gulfport, CrossFit Big Guava, JonesN4Crossfit, OSO Crossfit, Crossfit DC) to name a few. I have never felt negative vibes until I got to this gym....it put such a sour taste in my mouth....I drive back to my old box "CrossFit DC" to drop in from Woodbridge when I'm visiting my mom. I thought Greg Glassman was running this box. Save yourself the time and your money and go to a different box. read more

CrossFit Woodbridge rocks!! They have really good hours, with lots of options for classes. The facilities have all the CrossFit gear you could want and they have additional space with olympic lifting platforms. The coaches are all friendly and very knowledgable. Dan, the head coach, is very dedicated and easy going. The community is the best! If you are an elite athlete or a beginner, everyone encourages each other through the workouts and all the workouts are challenging and effective. If you are in the Northern Virginia area, I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out. read more

Moving from NC, the most critical factor for my new residence was proximity to a good Crossfit box. Crossfit Woodbridge was recommended to me and so I gave it a shot. I was skeptical that I would get the same results and satisfaction from this box. However, in the past four months I have exceeded my goals and made great gains. As a member with unlimited access, I am able to access the Crossfit side and the Strong Side. I just finished the Olympic Weight Lifting seminar and by focusing strictly on technique first and foremost before weight, I was able to set new personal records that I didn't think were possible otherwise. I am now in the Power Lifting seminar and looking to see what I can accomplish from there. This box is a great investment for anyone looking to try Crossfit for the first time or moving on from another box. read more

The owner Dan tried to steal by charging our credit card after my wife cancelled while no longer under a contract. We had to open a fraud investigation against him through Capital One amd they took the money back from the company. Very corrupt owner!! read more

This is the email I sent to the owner and he refuses to refund my account and I asked to cancel my membership when I am already out of contract. It seems to me this has been an issue for several people when looking at reviews on yelp and facebook. DO NOT join this box....it might seem great in the beginning but it ended horrible for me. Dear Dan & Stephanie, I am quitting CrossFit boot camp so if you could please deactivate my account I would greatly appreciate it and refund me 103.50 for this month. Dan I feel like your "know it all mentality" does not have your client's best interests. If my orthopedic surgeon tells me to wear a back brace and take it easy for three weeks, I am of course going to listen to her over a CrossFit coach. I am a pretty athletic person and I know when to push myself and when my body cannot take it. If I cannot walk or stand and I choose to freeze my account for two weeks and then you email that I have "hip imbalances". I had an Xray and an MRI..... I did not ask you what my problem was because I know the root cause of my back issues and what needs to be done. Instead of judging or offering your own opinions, for the future, you might want to start being more supportive. I do not know if it was just yesterday you were having a bad day, but lately (like the past 2 months) you always just seem so unhappy or at least give off that vibe to the bootcampers. In addition, the change to the boot camp hours has lead everyone to pretty much stop coming which multiple people have said in class to Jenn and I know I have talked to you about it as well. Stephanie was definitely one of my favorite coaches, I loved how she was so motivating but a post she posted on the CFW Community page is another reason I am choosing to leave the box. "Your back pain, knee pain, hip pain whatever the hell pain you have started FOR A REASON. Taking pain medication and resting is only a temporary solution. It does absolutely NOTHING to address what caused the pain in the first place. If you take this approach to any pain or injury you experience, I PROMISE you that you can count on that pain coming back or that injury happening again. Stop wasting your time trying to mop up the water from an overflowing sink if you haven't even turned the sink faucet off yet. Get to the root of the problem." A person who is not a trained medical professional should NOT be giving advice like this....that is how people get injured.. With my back I have gotten to the root of the problem, I Know what the issue is and my doctor told me what to do about it....who has a little more authority than a CrossFit coach. I even talked to other cross fitters from a different box and showed them this post and they could not believe what a negative and aggressive tone CFW was sending out to the community. If CFW were trying to be helpful it should have stated something along the lines of "We know people acquire injuries, thru Crossfit and other activities, we want to keep you safe and do what's best for YOU, and we don't want you to push through without knowing the root cause of the problem. We recommend seeking professional opinion and please let us know how we can work with you and your doctor to modify so we can keep you safe AND healthy and in shape." A post like that would not upset me and is what I believe a Coach should say and you would probably get more members with that mentality. I am really sad to leave my workout buddies, I loved the people who I worked out with but I just cannot associate myself with a gym who treats people and post such negative and aggressive things. I wish you guys the best and hope you can grow from this experience in a more positive way. Sincerely, Alicea read more

Awesome box. Inclusive, challenging, and competitive. New to the area and Dan and coaches welcomed us with open arms. The Clarkes

Crossfit Woodbridge seriously saved my fitness. Classes start on time no matter what and its 100% your time with the coaches. The coaches are unbeatable, they're personal and are great with questions and keeping up with your goals. Crossfit Woodbridge pushes each person to do their personal best, and I NEVER felt like it was a competition or I was judged negatively. I have lost more weight at Crossfit Woodbridge than anywhere else, AND I have muscle definition I've never been able to achieve before because of their workouts. Bottom line its a fantastic place to begin/continue/revive your fitness journey, and beginners are wholeheartedly welcomed at any level. If you want to kick start a healthy lifestyle with an inspiring community in Woodbridge you've gotta come here! read more

BLUF: The CrossFit Woodbridge (CFW) Basic Olympic Weightlifting class will significantly improve your strength, endurance, flexibility and confidence when performing the Snatch and Clean and Jerk, as well as performance in all CrossFit movements. The value far outweighs the cost! I just completed the CFW Basic Olympic Weightlifting Class run by owner, Dan Broughton. Although I've been doing CrossFit at CFW for 18 months, my technique and strength in Olympic weightlifting movements lacked, as I never received any training in these movements prior to January 2014. Although, Dan and his excellent staff of trainers educate and train CFW athletes on these movements during daily workouts, there is not sufficient time to really evaluate, critique, and correct form and technique to the level required. CFW's Basic Olympic Weightlifting Class addressed the Snatch and the Clean and Jerk + a number of accessory movements designed to increased strength, flexibility, endurance, and technique. I significantly increased my performance in all of these areas. My Snatch PR 1RM improved from 45 to 105 and my Clean and Jerk PR 1RM improved from 124 to 145. If I had not spent so much energy working up to my PR on the Snatch, I honestly believe my Clean and Jerk PR would have been closer to 165 or higher. Regardless, Dan's focused and experienced coaching significantly improved my lifting techniques. By limiting each session to about 6-8 students, he is able to evaluate, critique, and correct nearly every lift performed by every student. His deep and expansive knowledge of proper weightlifting technique and training really benefit every student if they apply the principles and advice he provides. He runs two sessions per week with each session lasting 1- 1/2 hours. Every student puts in a significant amount of work and effort in each session as they progress through his program. In addition to improving my technique, I found that my overall strength and endurance significantly improved. As I performed other CrossFit workouts, I felt much stronger in all areas, to include cardio. Additionally, Dan outfitted the Strong Side Lifting portion of the CFW box with all of the tools (bars, platforms, color coded competitive weightlifting plates, stackable boxes to change the start location of the lift) required to complete all movements to improve form, technique, and strength. The value I got from this class far outweighed the cost I paid. I intend to take the Advanced Olympic Weightlifting Class when offered. If you are looking to improve your overall strength, endurance, flexibility, and confidence, I highly recommend taking the Olympic Weightlifting classes at CFW. read more

I was at CFW for 5 months and I think I couldn't have been happier!! From day one everyone were so welcoming and made me feel right at home! All the members and the coaches are amazing and the WOD's are very diverse and the coaches come up with good scaling options! Love this gym and miss it already read more

When I first started I ABSOLUTELY loved it here...I've met some great people at this Box... And when I first started they paid so much attention to me. That is what won me over. There are good coaches here and even better members. But sadly this beautiful review will come to a turn. My fiancée had joined me along the crossfit journey. And now she is regretting it. In the sign up form it says let them know when your are moving and bring them proof of a change of address and thy will cancel your membership. My fiancée and I did do so properly, but yet we are still getting charged. I fully understand that accidents may happen and maybe one extra charge is possible. But my fiancé has been charged 3 EXTRA times. Where we try to contact the Gym/Box...we get no timely manner response. The owner Dan keeps telling us that the money is on the way and we don't see anything. As I talk to previous members at the same gym they tell me that this is a ongoing thing for them to get extra charged. Some people let me know that they have had to cancel their credit card JUST so that this place would stop charging them. I've always been scared of the "gym mentality" which is "we are good when you want to join, but getting out will be hell" Like what kind of place disconnects the phone so you can't call them? I'm telling you, you will get allllll the emails you want when you want to join. Soon as you try to leave or your contract is done, you don't hear ANYTHING from them. I will keep you all updated with this place and how they handle my fiancé. We have been trying to get the refunds back since March and here it is July. Again like I say, the members HONESTLY make you feel like family, but the business side can use a LOT of work. Proper, and consistent communication is key when running a business. read more

I've been a member since August 2012. Coaching staff is awesome and gave personal attention in the beginning. However, over the years the gym got bigger and more crowded. The personal attention has dwindle as well. On my last year with them I had military commitments taking me out of town and did not sign a contract to renew my membership for the year. When I was able to drop back in town I went in paying a drop-in rate. CFW started charging me every month for the year without a contract. They said I used their facility so I would still be charged irregardless if I had signed a contract or not. That is poor business practice and I will not be going back there anymore. There are new Crossfit gyms that opened up in Woodbridge who will not rob you. read more

Man, oh man. I am so disappointed, because this place has so many good members. I moved to MD at the beginning of this year and cancelled my membership in March. Well, as best I could possibly cancel. I sent a change of address and could only communicate with the owner via email because the box's phone line was disconnected. I kept getting charged month after month and would reach out to him, no response. Finally and sadly, I start emailing him almost daily until he finally replied and said he had no idea what was going on. He wouldn't reply for like weeks at a time, and when he finally did refund me - it was only for one month, despite the other two months I had paid ($185/month). He would tell me it was refunded, I would wait 72 hours, nothing. Here we are nearly mid-July and I had to literally drive to the box to see him in person. When I arrived, he didn't apologize...in fact, he made me wait until he was done joking with other members. Finally he came over and said, "Well, I refunded you...I'll show you." He then proceeded to login to a super sketchy online merchant transaction processing site. The funny thing is, he did refund me...the day before and it was only for ONE month. So, I told him that was wrong, I have another month that needs to be refunded. He seemed confused, even though I was emailing him regularly about the matter. He verified my cancellation notice and, very annoyed at this point, he refunded me. It was a terrible, horrible, awful experience. There was no professionalism or respect at all. I can't believe that it had to come to that to get money that was wrongfully charged put back on my card. Also, having talked to other former members they told me that they, TOO, had to cancel their card so that he would stop charging their card. Really sad; you think you know somebody... read more

I've been a member of CrossFit for the last 4 months. I've been a member of Lifetime Fitness for years (Fairfax, Centreville and Ashburn), along with Planet Fitness (Woodbridge) briefly. Unlike some places, classes start on time (on the dot). I appreciate that because it's a sign that your time is respected. When I was at Planet Fitness, the classes literally never started on time. Membership dues also greatly differ between CrossFit and Planet Fitness. The saying "you get what you pay for" is accurate. CrossFit teaches technique and will regularly review technique. Let's face it, no other gym is teaching and reinforcing technique. They also reinforce good technique over heavy weights. They don't care if you can lift 400lbs. If you aren't lifting properly, that will be addressed. You need a personal trainer for that type of attention and knowledge. A personal trainer will run you at least $20/session, if not more. My 3x week membership fee with CrossFit puts my classes well under $20/session. I pay a lot more for my CrossFit membership than I did with my Lifetime Fitness membership (and I thought Lifetime's $70 monthly fee was expensive!). I can honestly say, I think the warehouse setting and lack of luxurious amenities at CrossFit, still immensely outweigh all the perks Lifetime Fitness has to offer. Each CrossFit member's skill level varies greatly and because of this, workouts can be scaled. You can't do a pull-up? No problem. You can't do a handstand push up? No problem. They'll show you a modified version of each workout. Members of CrossFit are clearly committed to their personal health goals. I was a bit intimidated my first day but those feelings have since diminished. This type of commitment mixed with knowledgeable trainers, who "practice what they preach" and seem to enjoy their job, makes for a fun and motivating environment. I have felt welcome, regardless of my initial skill level. They remember my name, my lifestyle and can actually tell me which parts of my body have changed. I didn't expect them to notice my quads are bigger or my skin complexion has cleared up, but they did. That's personalization at its best. I have always struggled with weight but after having a baby, I realized I needed a little bit more help. I am honestly grateful for having joined CrossFit. I always had a goal that sounded similar to: "I just want to lose 30 lbs." "I just want to be 140 lbs." That was my issue. I worked out in vain. My goals were not appropriate. Now, I am more concerned with being stronger. My goals have changed. I no longer strive to be a certain weight or lose a certain amount of lbs. My goals now are similar to: "I'm going to try to back squat more than 215lbs" "I'm going to try to do 10 pull ups in a row". This type of change in thinking and goal setting has had such an impact, that I felt compelled to write this review. Since my goals have changed, I have lost 24 lbs, gone from a size 12 to a size 4/6 and can run a 5k minutes faster. I don't dread going to the gym as much as I did before; saying I don't dread it some days would be a bold face lie. That's what pre-work out supplements are for. So, take some pre workout and drive your ass to CrossFit, you won't regret it. I'm so grateful I did. read more

I enrolled my 14 year old son into Crossfit Woodbridge during the summer of 2017. He is a teenage soccer player who during the off season last summer wanted to find an activity that would enhance him physically as well as strengthen his endurance. We looked into Crossfit Woodbridge and the ownership ensured us that this would be a great place for what we wanted. So I enrolled him for 3 months. Here's my review: The environment at Crossfit Woodbridge is energetic, engaging and extremely supportive. The instructors and members love what they do. They begin each class on time and have a complete and meaningful program prepared each day. Everyone, including instructors and classmates are very supportive of each other at Crossfit Woodbridge. It doesn't matter what your level of ability, the support given really helped my son feel very comfortable and relaxed from the first day of training. The energy level generated in the training sessions motivates the members to push themselves even more during training sessions. Overall, it was a great decision for us to make. The tuition for classes at Crossfit Woodbridge are very fair and reasonable when compared to other gyms and exercise facilities in the area. The results will speak for itself. If you are looking to begin or expand your training for whatever reason, I highly recommend Crossfit Woodbridge. read more

Have been a member for a little more than a year - I do the Kinetic Bootcamp, will be moving to the Crossfit side in a few months - great attention from the coaches, who watch to make sure we're using proper form, who encourage us to keep going, and who encourage us to do more. Tremendous support from the other members - very collegial, not at all competitive - a place I look forward to going to, and where I look forward to working hard! read more

Dropped in here for a couple weeks while in town for business. The owner was extremely accommodating and worked out an excellent drop-in rate for me. The athlete community at the gym was incredibly welcoming and genuinely fun to work out with. The coaches were great and showed legitimate interest in bettering the athletes. The programming was challenging yet fun. I will definitely drop in again if I'm in the area. read more

Crossfit woodbridge community is awesome. We recently moved to the area and have received such a warm welcome from Dan and his team. Our family really enjoys the training and the inclusiveness this box offers! read more
