East Dallas CrossFit

Folks throw around terms like "gym home" and "gym family" pretty casually these days but I've been working out at East Dallas Crossfit for five years now and no other descriptors could be more appropriate. The coaches are engaged and invested in your fitness journey. The programming is well considered and thorough for all fitness levels, and I love that parallel workouts are designed for masters members. The atmosphere is very friendly which is a function of owners and coaches attitudes as well as members trust. I highly recommend East Dallas CrossFit to anyone interested in furthering their overall fitness, strength, and nutrition goals.

One of the things that defines CrossFit is the community and this is the community that I am thankful to be apart of! All of the coaches are knowledgeable and supportive in and outside of class. They program each workout to be effective for all people no matter your fitness level! The community is supportive and celebrates each fitness milestone with you! Best gym in East Dallas!

EDCF is an incredible gym. They've helped to me to push myself (physically and mentally) in many ways that I haven't in years. They have a great coaching staff that does an incredible job educating and motivating you along the way. The gym is made up of people of all ages. Classes are never to overflowing or empty, just the right size. Equipment is great. It's an all around great box. If you're into CrossFit, or just need someone to help plan your workouts and you want to do something outside of a standard gym, give it a shot! I promise you'll love it.

I came by and did their trial. I don't think I've sweated this much in years. It's exciting to walk in each day with a different WOD!

I’m brand new to East Dallas CrossFit. A friend, whose also a certified CrossFit coach at another gym, 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 because of 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.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 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 Dallas CrossFit. :)

East Dallas Crossfit is the best box! The coaches are amazing, knowledgeable, and always there for you! The community is amazing too!! Great sense of community and great friends! I took the best decision when I join EDCF!

I have enjoyed the community of this gym. Its important you have the right coach to help you through the technique required to obtain the most out of this type of training. No wonder East Dallas Crossfit continues to be named "Best Gym". Great group!

I pulled up to East Dallas CrossFit a few months back to attend a free Saturday workout and see if CrossFit was right for me. I sat there in my truck, watching in the review mirror as they 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 Savard 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 warmup 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 200m 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 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've always struggled with committing to regular exercise. Then, I joined EDCF in February 2013. I am hooked. Ryan is an excellent coach who uses smart programming and instruction - not aimed to kill you every session, but build your strength consistently. And, the other gym members are great! Every one is encouraging and not super Crossfit-serious or intimidating. I feel stronger and more confident than ever before.

I found a fantastic community in my own backyard. The class sizes are just the right size and the trainers are knowledgeable. Moreover, if you workout here, you are surrounded by good people to the last one.This is a business that has demonstrated to me they are intent on giving back to their community.
