East Dallas CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: If you're interested in joining a box, then I highly recommend East Dallas CrossFit! This is a great place for beginners and advanced athletes. The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, team-oriented, and the workouts are excellent.

Fantastic experience: I started at EDCF back in may of this year, and so far it’s been the best decision I could’ve made for myself. Previously, I worked out on my own 2-3 times a week but wasn’t pushing myself hard enough. I’ve finally found a way to push myself and hold myself more accountable. Every workout is tough, but not impossible to get through. They do a great job of switching it up every day too, you’ll never have a week where you feel like you are doing the exact same thing over and over. The community is great as well. I never feel intimidated when I walk in the door for a workout. There’s a great mix of people that are CF veterans, and newcomers. It’s nice because everyone knows how hard to push themselves and the workouts allow flexibility for the newer folks to scale it down if needed, without judgement. Finally, I have to rave about the coaches. They are all gray, but especially Ryan and RJ. They do a great job of walking you through each new workout, and giving you constructive feedback in a way that doesn’t make you feel bad about yourself, but instead it’s encouraging and they’ll follow through to make sure you’re never lost. Overall I love EDCF, and highly recommend it to anyone at any experience level.

Fantastic experience: EDCF has been the best Crossfit gym I've been to focusing on strength and technique! The coaches have high technical proficiency and will help you get your form down to get the most out of your workouts!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching staff and great members! Everyone is very friendly and super supportive of all of their members regardless of experience level!

Fantastic experience: This place isn't like other Crossfit boxes. It's clean, well maintained and incredibly welcoming. It's got the most knowledgable coaches that really do care about its members. Ryan and RJ really take the time to get to know you, and work with you should you need something modified. They don't make it feel like the stereotypical "go hard until you die" Crossfit mentality at all. I'm sure they can accommodate that if you want, but they have a great way of balancing out the people that are there to train for the games, and those that are there to just be fit. I 100% can't recommend this place enough. If you've ever wondered what is or how do you Crossfit this is place for you.

Fantastic experience: Super place to work out. Good programming. Good coaching. Nice members.

Fantastic experience: After 2-3 years away from Crossfit at a different place, I started here about four months ago. It's been great having the daily workouts setup so all levels feel comfortable but challenged.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching, great / intelligent programming, great people. As someone who has been doing CrossFit since 2008, EDCF is a top tier box. Exactly what you should be looking for if you’re wanting to start or continue your CrossFit Journey. Ryan and RJ are great.

Fantastic experience: My first experience with East Dallas CrossFit (EDCF) was in 2016 & I was more than impressed. Took a break due to moving & finances; but once I moved back to 'this side of town', I hopped back into the experience! Excellent trainers who take time to demonstrate movements (and modifications) without judgement or impatience. Friendly, small group classes helps for my pre-workout anxiety! Haha! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I love EDCF! I've been a member for about 3 months and I can't wait to get into the gym each day. Ryan, RJ, and the rest of the trainers are awesome, totally helpful and friendly. Crossfit sounded super intimidating but it's not bad at all, there are 2 levels for each workout so you can work hard but at your own pace. Best workout classes ever! It's worth every penny, come on and join us!!!

They are encouraging but not in your face during the workout, which is nice. - The gym itself has everything that’s needed for CrossFit WOD’s and is clean. - There are 2 options of intensity for every WOD.

Fantastic experience: East Dallas CrossFit provides experienced coaches that fit workouts for any fitness level. The options have allowed me to learn to listen to my body better and make necessary adjustments as needed in the week. I have been training for a marathon and the workouts have provided a great cross training option and sprint aspect to my training that has helped me build my running base and increase my recovery. While at this gym, I have been less sore on a weekly basis but have also still made improvements in Olympic lifts. Lastly, you can tell the coaches enjoy what they do!

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.

Fantastic experience: I started crossfit this past summer and as a new member I have truly enjoyed it! The trainers are very good at making sure you feel comfortable with the new exercises and equipment- questions are welcomed! What I love most about the classes is that they are different every day, which makes it fun to not have to do the same thing every day! I left the regular gym for this reason and I would never go back! I love cross fit and the mix of cardio with strength and conditioning works well for me! If you're looking for a new and fun full body workout - east dallas crossfit is it! -Ebby

Fantastic experience: I'd driven past East Dallas CrossFit a thousand times, always threatening to visit and become one of the crazy people you'd see running up that hill. Finally stopped making excuses and decided to try the intro class. I'm SO glad I did! I immediately became a member. I love the place! Fantastic coaches - friendly and very knowledgeable. They work hard to make sure you get the most from your workout experience. Really a great place. I can't speak highly enough about it. Try it!

Fantastic experience: Awesome spot with a great community. The coaches all have several years of experience and do a wonderful job of meeting you where you are in your pursuit of fitness - whether you've been a CrossFitter for many years or if it's your first time to a gym. They're happy to provide direction and personal instruction, and the fellow members are terrific as well.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Best spot in Dallas. It's my place to let go of the bleh of the day. Awesome super knowledgeable coaches that help scale on ability/injury. Rad community. Great workouts. Chill environment.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about East Dallas CrossFit!

The other members are welcoming, kind and respectful of each other and overall the environment is positive, encouraging and safe. If you’re looking for a community-centered gym to call home – this is it. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: EDCF is the fitness home you're looking for! I've been going here for a few years now, and I can't imagine working out anywhere else! World class workouts, no judgements, and awesome support! I've lost 40lbs and gained muscle, stamina, and reached goals I didn't think I'd hit! In the last few months I injured my back and they helped me modify workouts and keep moving so I could find the success I am looking for!

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym in October - took the group prep course to get acquainted with the CrossFit methodology, movements, and exercises. The coaches - Ryan, RJ, Mike, and Adam are knowledgeable and ready to help as and when needed - be it correcting the form or planning your training goals. I would recommend this gym to people looking to begin their CrossFit journey as well this who are already on it. *The overall community is very involved in the gym and support the growth of new members :)

Fantastic experience: I have always practiced some sporting activity but I was never more than 1 year old. Only here did I find my ideal place to feel comfortable and part of something, as well as the support of all the couches.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The variety of the workouts is great and they can be easily adapted to your fitness level. The coaches and members are very friendly. I'm so glad I found this gym!

Fantastic experience: The first rule EDCF has is leave your ego at the door. This shows in everything Ryan and RJ do and the community they have built. As coaches they challenge you but also make certain you are safe and use practice good form. (Something I struggle with after 40 years on my own and the bad habits i picked up along the way) The community is caring and supportive, not a bunch of people trying to one-up or show how much better they are. EDCF is a great place to train and become a better you.

Fantastic experience: 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.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at EDCF since 2015. The gym offers a wide range of exercise options to suit all ages and abilities. The owners grew up in the neighborhood and are a part of the community. Coming here you're not going to find inspirational photos, color schemes, mirrors on the wall, or someone with a headset on cheering at you incessantly. What you will find is all the equipment and knowledge needed to reach your goals (whatever they are), and a good, supportive group to help you get there. Don't be intimidated. Commit and jump in.

Fantastic experience: 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!

Fantastic experience: 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. :)

Fantastic experience: 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!
