214 Athletics & Community Fitness

Fantastic experience: Incredible facility with an all-star coaching staff. Each coach takes very special care to focus on form and mobility to promote long-term progress and overall successes for the individual athletes at the gym. I came to the CrossFit 214 a year and half ago with a couple of different injuries that I had developed over the years by working out on my own at a regular gym. I was always pleasantly surprised how well they remembered my specific limitations while working with me to scale and reprogram certain parts of my workouts so that I could continue to improve despite previous setbacks. I never once felt like I was a burden or that I was putting any of them out in mentioning my issues. In fact, people are actively encouraged to mention any issues that they may have as the staff has a very real desire to not just work around limitations, them want to fix them. Preventing injury and helping members achieve their goals is their #1 priority. In addition to being incredibly knowledgeable about movement, building strength and conditioning AND nutrition, the gym fosters an amazing atmosphere of camaraderie. The members range from highly proficient CrossFit athletes to beginners who may have never tried CrossFit before. Regardless, EVERYONE is treated the same and there is an atmosphere of encouragement that helps you push past your boundaries. I can’t say enough good things about this place. They work very hard to foster an extremely open environment that is INCLUSIVE of all shapes, sizes and persuasions. I’ll sum up my review with this statement. If I ever have to move out of Dallas, the thing that I would have the hardest time replacing in a new city would be finding a facility that matches CrossFit 214. They’ve done an amazing job of setting a very high bar (no pun intended!).

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Crossfit214 for over 2 years. I really didn't know what to expect from the coaches or the environment when I first started. All the coaches are fantastic. They push you when you need to be pushed. They teach you when you need to improve your technique. But the biggest surprise to me is how much they really care about all the athletes. The other thing great about Crossfit214 is the camaraderie I have built with other athletes in the gym. It is a great group. It makes the workouts better when there is a person right next to you pushing you to do more. This is something that isn't available at a regular gym. It has helped me to push myself to places I didn't know existed. After a tough workout, we all look at each other and say, "Holy smokes, that was hard. I didn't think I could do that. See you tomorrow?" Pretty cool.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at 214 for about a year and a half now, and joining this gym was definitely a life(style)-changing experience. The classes are great; the coaches are great; the facility is great; but the people and community here are what make this place so much fun. There's nothing magical about a workout dubbed a "crossfit" workout -- you can do most of these types of workouts in your own garage with fairly limited equipment. What you won't necessarily be able to replicate are the people that come and work out with you and eventually become great friends.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit is an addicting activity, that being said, Crossfit214 is the perfect gym to indulge. The coaches are very friendly and have a very positive atitudes. One big fear of mine was that I would walk into a group of stuck up meat heads but it could't have been further from that. All members and coaches are very humble and knowledgable. The gym focuses on all around mental, physical, and nutritional health. They are concerned with making individuals as strong and healthy as possible. Overall great gym, I started going to the free class on Wednesday night and got hooked.

Fantastic experience: This place will change your life. It's not a gym, it's a community of people who want create healthier versions of themselves and sincerely want to help you do the same. The coaches are OUTSTANDING. They are not drill-sergeants but they aren't yoga instructors either, they are coaches. They coach you on proper form, motivate, and teach for the entire hour you are there. I've been working out for 20 years, I've been at CrossFit 214 for one but I will never workout any other way or at any other place again.

Fantastic experience: I've been training at Crossfit 214 for about a year and a half, during which time I've trained at other Crossfit gyms when traveling for work. In my experience, nothing comes close to the quality of training I've received at CF214. Instructors will always take the time to go over proper technique and warm up exercises prior to starting the workout, to help minimize injuries and maximize results. The instructors are extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which creates a fun environment making me always look forward to the next class.

Fantastic experience: I have been working out at CrossFit 214 for >4 months, and it's consistently been one of the highlights of my week. This place is really special. It provides the challenge and variety that traditionally make crossfit addictive with an emphasis on safety and proper form above all. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and friendly and make an effort to get to know members. The gym has a friendly and supportive vibe. Its Foundations program makes crossfit accessible and welcoming to beginners. I can't say enough about this place - the community, focus on safety and quality coaching really make it stand out!

Fantastic experience: I am new to the CrossFit and after a lot of research I decided to go with 214 athletics. The coaches are very knowledgeable and answers any questions I have in regards to the workouts. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: Best place to get a workout without breaking your wallet!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out!

Fantastic experience: Legit gym. Some of the best coaches in the fitness world.

Positive experience: Different .no boring like the rest

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The facility is amazing, and the coaches are knowledgeable and push you to get better. The owner, Tyler, is an incredible guy, clearly passionate about what he does, and is always eager and willing to spend extra time talking about all aspects of health and fitness.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for the first time and had a great experience. The facility is cool, people were great, the energy was good, and the coaching was excellent. That's pretty much everything I look for in a gym!

Fantastic experience: I just started at the gym and everyone has been so welcoming! I have never been part of a CrossFit gym before so I am unfamiliar with some workouts and moves, and the coaches have been great at coaching me through them. I can already tell everyone is so supportive and encouraging of each other! I'm excited to be a part of a gym community like this!

Fantastic experience: I have been at 214 for about 9 months and couldn't love it more! I didn't have a CrossFit background when I started and I never once felt out of place. Every week is different and I've loved seeing my progress over the months. Each coach brings something unique to the table and they are all great! I strongly recommend just walking through the door!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a class and it was great! Everyone was welcoming and warm. The coach asked me ahead of time if I had any injuries or anything he should know about. If I’m ever back in the Dallas area this will definitely be my go to!

Fantastic experience: The gym and staff were very nice and welcoming. I have recently submitted a review about the open gym fees and was reached out to in a timely manner by the owner of the gym. The issue was easily resolved with a friendly attitude which is and always is very much appreciated.

Fantastic experience: One of the best crossfit gym I have workout at

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches !

Fantastic experience: Great experience, old school feel where everyone was working hard and friendly. Recommend for open gym and classes

Fantastic experience: Awesome, friendly coaches here and it's great that they have different classes for people at different stages of their CrossFit journey. They help you adapt the workouts if you have any limitations. I've seen some great improvements with mobility and strength since going here.

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaching - pointed out an ankle issue in my squat within the first couple of reps that helped assist with hip flexor pain. Coached my way to my first (10) ring muscle up’s!!

Fantastic experience: I didn’t know I had the capacity to love anything else in this world! It may be too soon for me to say I love CrossFit, but my experience was amazing. From calling when I didn’t know where to park and Erik helping me, to getting there and not knowing what door to go through and Ryan helping the “lost person” out to Rachel and her attentiveness throughout class. Everyone was so nice, welcoming and encouraging, even when the last couple of people were finishing their last set...and that’s the kind of facility I want to be associated with. Loved every moment! Plus, I hadn’t done any kind of weight lifting since high school, 10 years ago, so I forgot how great it feels to lift! I know I’ll be sore in the morning, but it was so worth it! Now to learn how to do more than one double under. lol Thank you for the amazing experience!!

Fantastic experience: Been going there for a couple of years. Love it there, highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with great people. Classes for all levels are offered and the coaching is top notch. I’ve never felt fitter since starting training with 214.

Fantastic experience: During the three years that I’ve attended classes at CrossFit 214, every class has been worthwhile. Some workouts catered to my strengths; some stretched my capacities. Some workouts were enjoyable; others not so much. Yet, I can honestly say that the individual attention, smart coaching, and solid programming have been amazingly consistent over these three years and many Crossfit 214 classes. The coaches hold themselves—and each athlete—to a high standard, not an unattainable, idealized one, but a standard which keeps the whole person in mind. I’ve worked out through two babies and post-partum recoveries at 214, and I’ve always felt both supported and challenged. It’s a great gym with great coaches. Sent from my iPhone

Fantastic experience: CF214 is such a great atmosphere, not intimidating at all. The coaches are all immediately welcoming and helpful, and I have felt from day 1 here that I am part of the community. I have grown so much as an athlete and as an individual.

Fantastic experience: I've been a part of this gym for the past 5 years. I did some research before joining and tried other gyms as well to see what would fit with me and what I was looking for. This gym has everything I want. The great thing about this gym is that they have a variety of classes for all fitness levels. Their staff and knowledgeable coaches are interested in helping you build a foundation first and then see you progress as an athlete. If you are looking for a place with a great environment, awesome community and kick ass members and athletes, crossfit214 is what you are looking for.

Fantastic experience: Great CrossFit box with awesome coaches. They emphasize proper form over higher weights to ensure safety and confidence. Love it!

Positive experience: Nice facility with cool instructors.

Fantastic experience: Great box that's always super welcoming when I drop-in when traveling!

Fantastic experience: Visiting Crossfit 214 is one of the highlights of my trips to Dallas. Anytime I visit the city, I am sure to drop in. Challenging WODs, with movements I don't do very often; Coaches that focus on technique over weight; and a cool overall vibe are the things that make this gym/box special.

Fantastic experience: Staff was really nice and was willing to show me how to climb a rope.

Fantastic experience: I drop in just for a few days every year but feel at home already. Great coaches and community.
