Fantastic experience: My favorite gym to drop in, I'm not from the area but I love dropping in here! Super friendly, welcoming, and great prices

Fantastic experience: My home away from home. I’ve learned so much and it truly feels like a 2nd family.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Workouts are available for all fitness levels with a wide variety of time slots available to fit your schedule! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing! I have been coming a little under a year. I was afraid to start CrossFit because I hear horror stories of injuries but doing CrossFit has really increased my functional fitness. My hips and back are much happier for it. Kirk Said is the man, he's super knowledgeable and friendly. All of the coaches are patient and helpful. I'm not the fittest person but I always feel like I'm being encouraged and celebrated. Classes are fun and never boring. There is nothing but good people here. The work outs vary every day, and are scalable to your fitness level. I love being able to do things I couldn't 2 weeks before. My advice is if you are nervous about CrossFit just do it. And do it here at a CrossFit downriver.

Fantastic experience: I was brand new to crossfit (and weight lifting in general) when I joined this gym, and I couldn’t have found a more supportive and inclusive environment. the community here is amazing; I feel accountable to them which is one reason I keep showing up. The owners and coaches are truly concerned about helping each individual improve and perform at a level that makes sense for them. Love it here - highly recommend to all to no matter your current fitness level! If you show up, CFDR will help you get results!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit DownRiver is a great place to work out! Coaches are knowledgeable about scaling options so all workouts are attainable! Everyone is friendly and welcoming!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit DownRiver is incredible. Everything about CFDR is top notch! The facility. The coaches. The people. The workouts and programming. You will not find a better place to get into the best shape of your life!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit DownRiver is a welcoming community of people. Workouts can be adjusted to meet all fitness levels. I have lost inches, gained muscle, and increased my endurance. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: I love Crossfit Downriver. I have done things I never thought I could do. The coaches and people are so supportive. I was intimidated to walk in but realized I was instantly family. I made a lot of new friends. There is no pressure. Everyone is there to help and cheer you on. Great place. Can't imagine going anywhere else.

Fantastic experience: Two thumbs up to CrossFit DownRiver, Kirk and his wife Colleen are dedicated to helping their members achieve their fitness goals and the trainer's are equally talented with the same dedication. I look forward to working out with this awesome team.

Fantastic experience: I came in for my first drop-in session today and LOVED my experience. I have had previous crossfit experience but haven't done it in about 4 months so I knew today might be ugly. Everyone was so supportive and nice and I felt like I fit in right away. They didn't make me feel like the center of attention for being the new person (I tend to be kind of quiet at first) and instead people came up to me gradually and introduced themselves, pointed out where things were, encouraged me, etc. It was a really good time and I'm glad I made the decision to face my fears of getting back into the gym and just go! I will be back for sure!!! Thanks, Crossfit Downriver!!!!

Fantastic experience: . Great place. Great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Visiting from QC this week Amazing Drop in to yesterday's WOD and the Bootcamp this morning. What a great community and great programming can't wait for the rest of the week. Great trainers great owner great drop in rate.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are encouraging and allow you to workout within your limits.

Fantastic experience: Was in town for a short amount of time and these people made me feel at home immediately. The programming is awesome and challenging and loved that there was a huge variety of people. If I’m ever back in the area I’ll be there!

Fantastic experience: Although I have limitations due to a previous injury, my body has gotten more durable and stronger, and my joints hurt less!

Fantastic experience: Best decision I made this year!

Fantastic experience: Love this place and the people. So laid back and they run an excellent program for the kids crossfit.

Fantastic experience: I am almost 59, and have not exercised in years. They will help you work out at a proper pace. Great place. Great atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for the weekend WOD's while home visiting family. Great facility and even better people! Everyone was super friendly and the workouts were awesome. Thanks again and ill see you next time I am in town!! -Brandon

Fantastic experience: My 13 year old son and I started attending classes about a month ago. We have had nothing but positive results. Coach Kirk and his staff are exceptional and they have created a welcoming environment. The work at your own pace philosophy allows for the beginner to feel comfortable. More importantly than that you immediately feel welcomed into the group and a part of the team. This is truly a family environment that will challenge you to grow.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. Great place to workout.

Fantastic experience: Amazing place!!! I was trying to start my fitness journey but I didn't have enough motivation to go to the gym so I decided to try first with the crossfit and this is the best decision I have ever made. Since the beginning Kirk was so nice and he explained me everything, I had induction classes to learn the important movements and the correct technique. Kirk and all the coaches are so knowledgeable and they help you all the time to perform the exercises correctly. CFDR has a good and inspiring atmosphere. I joined in March 2019.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are always willing to work with you and the community definitely drives you to want to improve.

Fantastic experience: I love this place so much. One of the best things I have ever come across in my LIFE. No exaggerating. I got tired of going to the gym and meandering around aimlessly. Not pushing past my limits. Here you have class based training regiments with coaches that push you pass what you are use to. You will have to work and keep track of your progress. This isn't the place for play play. But I assure you, you'll love the atmosphere. People of all shapes & sizes, encouraging one another to live a healthier lifestyle. I am a young, fit, guy and I get my hat handed to me DAILY by women twice my age. Yes, WOMEN! Never have I been more humbled. COME. TO. THIS. GYM! Thank me later

Fantastic experience: Never been here but i be next door.The people seem nice definitely would like to join. Looks funner than a regular gym. 2 thumbs up you guys!!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym. Awesome training environment for the new or experienced fitness/athlete!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area! I dropped in to the 9AM class on Friday. Coach Kirk did a great job! This is a CrossFit box that has it together and scales appropriately to all skill levels. I was also impressed because 1. It's a large box with plenty of space, 2. They have plenty of equipment for everyone, 3. The equipment is in good shape! Great Job CFDR! Cheers, Chris PS....I love your T-Shirt design!

Fantastic experience: 12 year CFer that has literally hit boxes all over the world. This is one of the best I’ve experienced. Great coaching and an even better community. Welcoming and challenging. This is a must-visit box when in Detroit!

Fantastic experience: Kirk and his staff are amazing. I have been going for a few weeks and everyone is very friendly and approachable. They will help you out when you don’t know a movement and are full of knowledge. Also the on-ramp with Kirk was very informative.

Fantastic experience: Dropped into the 0600 class and was met by Juan crushing a workout. He welcomed me immediately. Very nice facility, challenging programming and all the equipment you need. Will absolutely drop in again next time I’m in Detroit.

Fantastic experience: Just dropped in on my short layover. I am a flight attendant so I drop in to gyms all the time. This one was great! The people were friendly and welcoming and the workout was great. Will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: My friends and I Got to visit CFDR today and what a great place! Coach Juan made us all feel welcome and kicked our butt with a great wod. Great way to start off my NYE!

Fantastic experience: This is new to me, just making it through a workout is an accomplishment for me! I knew I needed to try something different so my son and I joined. It has been great to go through this together! Thank you to Kirk, the coaches and members for all of your encouragement and support. It has been life changing for me!

Fantastic experience: Great drop in WOD. Nice people and a great facility. Will come back.

Negative experience: I loved the work outs and enjoyed going. I recently lost my job though and can no longer afford the membership fee because I needed to make rent. I emailed them letting them know the situation and that I have not attended any classes this month so far, and hoping that they would be able to cancel the payment because I’m in such a sticky situation. I explained that I just needed to get back on my feet. They told me no, and that they could freeze my account for next month. I understand that when I signed up I was given a contract with a 30 day notice for canceling. But I also understood that when I signed up it was a family I was joining. I will no longer be attending in the future because of this situation. And I wish that they would be understanding enough to figure something out, so it wasn’t a matter of CrossFit vs housing. That’s all!

Fantastic experience: The best way to start my day when traveling is to find a box & get moving. Somehow when going thru the page I came across the blog post "Making Coach Proud" and I really liked it. While members make the box, it's not always acknowledged. The best part was then dropping in and experiencing it. Knowledgeable coaching and the members are as welcoming as the coaches. I've been to many boxes and this facility is a good sized location too. If only I had more time! I think I may keep my eyes on the programming as the few days I flipped thru look brutal!

Fantastic experience: I've been working out for a long time but doing a class at CFDR kicked my butt, it showed me that I need to push myself and focus on my endurance and strength a bit more to be able to do some workouts. Amazing experience

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaches, routines and environment.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and experience

Fantastic experience: Great instructors and people to push you. Never felt unwelcomed here.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Downriver is an awesome place to discover your fitness, have a great workout and meet people who will instantly become lifetime friends. My wife, son and I have been members for two years and my 11 year old son who joins us for every workout is treated like family and has been since day one. This is the number one reason why we chose this amazing facility. The Coaches are first class athletes that treat everyone with dignity and respect. The programming is ever changing but at the same time there is a plan behind it that will surely help you achieve all your goals. The pricing is very competitive and the value you receive for each dollar is second to none. The facility is clean and orderly, the bathrooms are kept clean, the equipment is kept up and replaced often, new courses and classes are added frequently. During my experience at Crossfit Downriver I have seen the scale weight go down and the bar weight go up. I have improved all areas of fitness: Strength, Flexibility, Gymnastics, Olympic Weightlifting, Cardiovascular and Running (yuck). I highly recommend Crossfit Downriver, you will not be disappointed. Russ Burke Proud Crossfit Downriver Member since 2015!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Great gym, very welcoming, and top notch equipment. Always stop by when I am in the area.

Fantastic experience: My wife and I started at CrossFit Downriver over a year ago. Being a part of this community has changed my life in and out. I am stronger physically and more peaceful emotionally. I'm in better shape than I have ever been. The coaches here are professional and they genuinely care about your health and goals. Everything is instructed in a safe and proper form. The best part of this place is the people/community! When you're ready to throw in the towel, they're ready to pick it up and cheer you on. Seriously, we all motivate each other to push it farther far more than I would on my own and the evidence is in the results! Enough said, check them out.

Fantastic experience: I love everything about crossfit Downriver!! From the coaches and athletes to the WOD's. Crossfit Downriver has become a part of my family. Before CrossFit, I worked out to home videos. Those videos became boring & redundant. CrossFit combines natural movements with weight lifting and a variation of workouts daily. I especially love the group setting which is very encouraging and motivating. With CrossFit, I have become stronger, healthier and happier!!

Fantastic experience: In the year that I've been at CFDR I've lost so much weight and done things I never thought I could do. Top notch coaches and owner.

Fantastic experience: CFDR provides me a great workout with knowledgeable and supportive coaches and members! The variety of workouts and class times available are plentiful. I am very happy I found CFDR to help me get and stay healthy and strong for LIFE. I provided my payment information to the staff. The information is shredded after the data is entered. The people have to get paid!!!

Fantastic experience: Love it!!!

Negative experience: The owner is about making you sign a contract and give your credit card info. I offered to pay cash upfront, they took my money and then told me after the fact that I couldn't do that when I showed up to work out.. They never refunded my money. Shady business practice.

Fantastic experience: It has been an amazing experience being a part of CFDR for the past 8 months. Immensely motivated people. Some of these savages have kids. How do they do it? I don't know. Joining CFDR was a really good decision I made. I had a feeling of instant belonging the moment I started participating in the WODs with the others. In my opinion, a combination of cardio, strength training and conditioning doesn't improve only physical aspects of a person, it helps regain focus and willpower in order to achieve what you thought was impossible. Thanks CFDR

Fantastic experience: Arguably one of the nicest CrossFit facilities in the country! Over 6k/sf of gym floor, with two immeasurable rigs, these things were massive. The box also has numerous OLY platforms off the class for which allow for clang and bang sessions with Trevor. During my initial drop in Coach K was teaching the 5:30 class and welcomed me with open arms which made me feel extremely comfortable. Coach Roman was also an amazing asset to the facility, he noticed me fumbling with my handstand practice after class and immediately came to my rescue. Prior to assisting me directly, he walked the length of the gym floor not once, not twice but three times to illustrate his proficiency, the dude meant business! I highly suggest you drop in and take a look for yourself! I have since become a full time member and though I have friends and family who frequent other boxes much closer to my residence, I could not fathom migrating elsewhere!

Fantastic experience: I received a warm welcome from Kirk and the rest of the Crossfit DownRiver family while dropping in. I'll be back.

Fantastic experience: Coach Kirk is by far exceptional at what he does when it comes to coaching/training an individual. He makes sure to know each members goals, concerns, weaknesses and strengths which gives the athlete/member quality training. He and the other coaches are constantly watching during the workouts and during skill work. When I started working out here, I had left another gym with a pretty serious injury. I told Coach Kirk about my injury and he has always been mindful of it when prescribing workouts and I cannot even explain how much I appreciate this. I also sustained a sprained ankle this year, (outside of the gym) with Coach Kirk having studied and received a degree in Exercise Science and many other certifications (outside of CF certificate) he was able to modify my workouts around my injury while working on mobility and strength in my ankle at the same time. The members here are welcoming, encouraging and cheer you on always. It is a great place to workout and it doesn't matter your skill level.

Fantastic experience: I've been at CrossFit DownRiver for almost two years and they have been wonderful. This a place that challenges, uplifts, and helps to meet one's physical goals. Since being here I have grown stronger and faster in my workouts all while being encouraged by coaches and others. This is a place where one's life can can change in so many positive ways.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great gym (box). Everyone there is super helpful and friendly, especially to the new people like me. Loads of instruction for when you're first starting out, injuries are the absolute last thing they want, and they show it. Yes, the works outs can seem very hard and or intimidating, however, they will scale absolutely everything to your personal ability. I wouldn't hesitate to bring a 60-80 year old person here to give it a shot if they wanted to, they're that good here. You will not be sorry for coming here, and trying them out. If you want comraderie to push you through the work out, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: Great experience! The CrossFit community is welcoming everywhere I've been!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit DownRiver has been, by far, the best experience I’ve had in achieving my fitness goals. Having belonged to other gyms throughout the area, it is with confidence that I can say that the CFDR coaches, programming, facility and members are unsurpassed. I am proud to be part of the CFDR community and look forward to continuing to learn and grow with such an outstanding group.

Fantastic experience: I started at Crossfit Downriver not very in shape, the coaches Make every workout challenging and fun. The other people that you work out with are always supportive and push you to do better.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a place to not only get in shape and accomplish your fitness goals while having a community atmosphere, this is the place for you. This isn't some gym where everyone has their headphones in and doing their own thing. Its a place where every gets to know you and pushes you to be the best you can be. The coaching staff is excellent and will work with you as much as you need to improve. Workouts can be scaled to fit all levels of fitness. Without CFDR I probably would not have accomplished all I have in fitness and football. It taught me to push myself to reach my full potential. If you are looking for a place to get fit in a great environment, CFDR is the place for you.

Fantastic experience: If you want to change your life, start working out at CrossFit Downriver! The coaches are dedicated to making their athletes the best they can be at their crafts. Being a runner myself, the coaches have helped tailor my workouts to make me a stronger endurance athlete, as well as a faster runner. CrossFit will change your entire perception on what it means to be fit. CFDR has an amazing community of people who will welcome you and help you achieve your fitness goals!

Fantastic experience: I needed a change in my usual gym routine and tried Crossfit.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding coaching, and a great friendly environment unlike any other CrossFit box I've been to. Not to mention some hardcore workouts! Best place to get in shape in the entire downriver area.

Fantastic experience: This is my home away from home gym. I've been dropping in since 2014 when I'm in town visiting family. The coaches are always friendly, knowledgable and ready to help. Great programming! Super friendly and welcoming environment. Tons of space and toys. Highly recommend this box!!

Fantastic experience: I just recently joined Crossfit Downriver... I was nervous about not fitting in or not being "fit enough" for crossfit but very quickly learned I could do a lot of thing I never thought I was capable of. Every workout is scaled to your own personal fitness level. Everyone has been so welcoming and encouraging, so far I've had an overall great experience! Great gym, great people.

Fantastic experience: I love this place!! Not only to you get a great workout, you have knowledgeable coaches with you every step of the way. When you join Downriver Crossfit, you don't just join a gym, you join a family. Come check it out, you won't be sorry.
