Fantastic experience: Crossfit Dana Point is full of amazing people! The first time you walk in, you will feel like part of the family. I have belonged to many gyms around the area ~ but nothing compares to CFDP! I had never tried crossfit, and from the first WOD~ I was hooked!!!!! . Zak is the most caring, enthusiastic coach, who spends time helping us and always wants us to do our personal best! There are no egos here~ Just a bunch of people wanting to get a WOD on... :) Come try us out... It will change you.. from the inside out!!!!! :)

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a CF in south OC seriously, stop looking; don't be scared or intimidated and come join us! We're an awesome friendly group that is all about "community" and we love new people :) Zak is THE best coach. If you're new or experienced, he will guide you every step of the way. Very happy to be apart of this gym.. Great people, great WODs, and FUN!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dana Point has an amazing environment with fun and friendly people. If you are looking for a true sense of community, this should be your first stop!

Fantastic experience: Finally a gym that feels like a community!!! You always hear about how CrossFit creates a sense of community in the gym that you go to. And that was what I was used to before I moved. So I thought by just joining a new gym that I would just pick back up where I left off. That wasn't the case. I went to a number of different gyms and just didn't get the same family vibe. That Definitely changed once I came to CrossFit Dana Point. Zak is an awesome guy and a Awesome coach. He enthusiasm really drives the atmosphere at his gym. Being a Chiropractor I am extremely picky on what I will put my body through. Zak's attention to detail and his coaching through the movements is impressive. At no point in time have I felt like I was being unsafe with my movements. He keeps a careful eye on all his members during the workouts. If there is something he doesn't like with your movement pattern, he corrects it immediately. I am extremely grateful to have found this gym and excited to keep on getting into the best shape of my life. Thanks!!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in OC, hands down. The owner is a god among men, the trainers are knowledgeable and just plain fun. The vibe is great, so throw yourself into the mix, PR your snatches and get to know some of the best humans to grace South OC.

Fantastic experience: Great coaching with a strong emphasis on proper body mechanics and building core strength. Super friendly community- no egos,, just good people after the same goal.

Fantastic experience: Great community gym! Owners, coaches and members all have a great vibe! Coaches are very knowledgeable and can provide tips to the most experienced athlete. All shapes, sizes and fitness levels are welcomed.!

Fantastic experience: Great box for a drop-in. Nice community feel and very friendly.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! As a physical therapist, I have very high standards when it comes to keeping athletes safe. BCF ticks all the boxes for me. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating to all levels. They focus on technique which is huge in Crossfit. The community feel is very welcoming and no one is left out! I wouldn't hesitate referring my patients!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member since 2019. I am an older athlete and attend the workouts regularly to maintain fitness. The coaches are informed, caring and supportive. The members are friendly and encouraging. There is a welcoming atmosphere that treats people like family. All levels of athletic abilities are welcomed and supported. There are no typical “gym attitudes” here. Just really nice people with a common goal of fitness. Highly recommend BCF to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Such a wonderful and welcoming place! I was visiting from Maryland and was looking for a place to get a couple workouts during my stay. Although I had never done a Crossfit class before, I had done similar workouts, so I kind of new what to expect. I filled out the contact on the website on the evening before I wanted to try a class. Aaron responded very quickly and said I was welcome to drop-in for a class or two. I showed up the next morning and had a great workout with Tarrah and a group of very friendly, encouraging people. I then had a similar experience the following day with Kevin and a different group of friendly and encouraging people. All of the exercises were explained well and it was overall a great experience. I would definitely go back there if I'm ever in the area!

Fantastic experience: Nice facility, clean and great coaching!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Crossfit Dana Point is my favorite gym ever! Point blank period. The community is amazing and I LOVE that you can workout outside or inside! Plus the owner Zak is the man!! And don't get me started on the coaches!! Love em! Would highly recommend anyone local or dropping in to check out Crossfit Dana Point!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CFDP since March 2017, and the experience has been extremely rewarding. Not only has my overall level of fitness improved significantly, but I’m also constantly being challenged to try new ways to push myself further than I thought I could go. The community is very welcoming, including all ages and levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: CFDP offers excellent coaching at all levels. Whether you are new to crossfit or just dropping in from out of the area you will always be welcomed and made a priority. It offers a great community and Zak and Becca run the box just like a family and it felt whenever you step on to the turf.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dana Point is three buildings away from my apartment. Ever since they moved in, our community has been brighter. Their gym has an open-air setup with fitness equipment both inside and outside of the premises. On any given day, you will see groups of people exercising there or running laps around our block, which creates an awesome energy buzz in the neighborhood. They recently developed a 21-day lifestyle challenge and opened it up to both members and non-members (like myself). I just finished it and had a great experience. It caused me to adopt healthy habits that I want to continue for good! Thank you, CFDP, you guys rule!

Fantastic experience: We moved to Dana Point in January 2018, and I joined the gym in October that year. Up to that point, I had struggled to find a community, and like-minded people who enjoyed fitness (and fun) as much as I did. I've thoroughly enjoyed the camaraderie & programming since. Every day is fun, challenging (in a good way) and everyone is so welcoming. I've reached new PR's and elevated my fitness. Thanks CFDP <3

Fantastic experience: CFDP is very welcoming to all athletes of any fitness level, experience, and interest. We are a community that supports each individual's personal goals while maintaining a high priority on form and functionality. All new members are given personal training sessions to ensure consistency in movement standards and, most importantly, the safety of our members as we strive to reach high levels of intensity and athleticism. For those looking for a welcome place to drop-in while on vacation or new to the area looking for a gym, CFDP is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a week while I was visiting some family. All of the workouts were incredibly challenging but I felt excellent afterwards. Becca and Cynthia were great in explaining all of the movements and pushing me through the tougher parts of the workouts. I liked the indoor/outdoor mix of the box. Definitely my go to gym anytime I'll be in Dana Point!

Fantastic experience: Did a drop in here and had an excellent experience. I do a lot of drop ins and never felt so welcome by all coached and members than I did here. The mix of outdoor/indoor space is excellent, and the whole experience was very positive!

Fantastic experience: Always love coming to CFDP!! The gym’s small, tight knit community and its coaches are incredible and motivating! Zak and the other coaches are always very helpful and energetic. Wish I could come here more often!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Dana Point is a wonderful welcoming gym with great coaches. I moved to California from Indiana a while ago and didn't know what to expect when I joined the gym. I figured it would be macho and uncomfortable for me. I'm pretty small and not that athletic. I couldn't have been more wrong. Coach Zak and his crew are all very inclusive and very welcoming!! Not only did I move here and have no friends, I now call the gym my family have A TON of friends!! If you're apprehensive about joining bc your nervous about the word "Crossfit" I urge you to give it a try. Everything is customizable to your ability and there is NO JUDGEMENT by anyone. We are all there for the same goal.... to better ourselves, to make friends, and to have a good time.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. I’ve been a member for a year. I joined after realizing I needed to radically improve my fitness and also after witnessing the New Years resolutioner flood at the local 24hr. But before I joined I tried a few other crossfit gyms and this one stood out because I could tell that Coach Becca (and Zak) really cared about whether I joined or not. The coaches are very knowledgeable, every member is very friendly, and there is a real sense of community. Also, after being a member for a while, when I drop in to other CrossFit gyms I like to analyze how they do things and how they coach their members. At this gym they really have your best interests in mind, they aim for you to do every movement appropriately and functionally, thus improving your fitness and not just trying to give you a good workout. Also, there are very cute dogs here.

Fantastic experience: Would give 6 stars if possible. Huge thanks to coaches Georgina, Zak and Nader for hosting me this past week. Was visiting from out of town and got a week pass, and I left feeling like part of the family. I’ll be back soon!

Fantastic experience: I live in the Dana Point area and have trouble with working out while being self-motivated. CrossFit Dana Point is an amazing community of like-minded individuals who all have goals of getting better daily. Zak and all the coaches(Becca, Nader, TayMo, Ram, etc.) are all amazing and will help you meet whatever goals you set for yourself while staying injury free and healthy. If you want a place to workout where you aren’t alone, can reach your goals, and meet wonderful/kind people CrossFit Dana Point is the best place to be!

Fantastic experience: I live in New York and travel to OC a lot for work. Whenever I’m in the area I try to stop in for a drop in. Zak and the coaching staff make everyone feel so welcome it’s like you have been working out with these people for years. I can not recommend this BOX enough.

Fantastic experience: From having been at a box that was very large, you learn that great things come in tiny packages. CFDP provides a great place to get in shape and have fun doing it! Thanks Zak for putting together such a great community!

Fantastic experience: Love it

Fantastic experience: Dropped in while traveling for work and had a great experience! Really friendly, fun coaches and felt really welcome here! Worked my butt off and got great tips and feedback.

Fantastic experience: Super coach, and really great people at this gym. Dropped in for a Saturday partner workout, worked my butt off, and enjoyed the whole experience. If I lived in the area, this would be my gym. No need to try anything else.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a workout while visiting town for a conference. Zak was very responsive to email and Holly was great coaching the 5am WOD. Facility has everything you need and was very clean. Great place to get your workout in while away from home!

Fantastic experience: Was in town for two days and dropped in for two workouts. Had a blast with Zak, Becca, and Holly. Great gym and great people. If I lived here this is where I would work out.

Fantastic experience: Great place for a drop in if in Orange County. Great crew and facilities!

Fantastic experience: Great experience, great coaches Becca & Zack were super friendly and kind!! Make you feel right at home!! I was visiting from out of town for 2 days and they were very accommodative for my training, and I would absolutely recommend this gym to anyone! I would join it if I lived in the area!!!! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Awesome ownership and coaches

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. The coaches really make you feel comfortable & help you push yourself. So sad we moved away!

Fantastic experience: Did not end up training here, while on vacation, but the owner responded promptly to my email request to drop-in. On my list of boxes to visit next time I am in town. Located near the Best Western in Dana Point.

Fantastic experience: I went to CFDP while in town. Great CrossFit experience. Good group, great instruction, great WOD. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: It's a wonderful feeling to cross the threshold of the gym after a long break and see the sincere happiness in the coaches faces when I walk in. My favorite part of CFDP by far is the authentic love that owners JB and Zak have for each and every member and of course their passion for Crossfit and fitness. As a smaller girl gyms in general are intimidating. Crossfit gyms can be scary when you see everyone throwing around enormous weights. At CFDP I feel empowered. All of their coaches will be right with you celebrating each gain and PR and reminding you that even your failures are an important part. Coach Becca is an amazing coach and woman who inspires me everyday to dig harder. Coach Adam has such a calming and confident coaching style that I look forward to, too. I honestly couldn't imagine my life without this fanatic community. I've made some of my best friends here and look forward to waking up every morning at 5am just to get sweaty and someone's wanna barf, together. :)

Fantastic experience: Was a GREAT experience, when I'm back in the area I will be back!

Fantastic experience: I've been to a couple of Crossfit boxes but this place makes me feel like family. I can honestly say that this place will give you results. The programming here make it fun and challenging. This community embodies what Crossfit is and helps everyone exceed their goals mentally and physically

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! Great sense of community in this gym. The attention to detail provided by all of the coaching staff makes this a great environment to have fun, sweat and push your limits safely. Highly recommended!!!!

Fantastic experience: Worked out at this gym while on vacation. I felt a little intimidated, but was welcomed at every class, not only by Zach and John, but by all other athletes. Great atmosphere and feeling of community, even if your only there temporarily . I really enjoyed the workouts and the expertise of owners Zach and John. Working out on vacation ended up being a great way to stay on track. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Extremely knowledgeable, friendly and caring coaches. The most INCREDIBLE, warm and welcoming community in the crossfit world. That's CrossFit Dana Point. Unlike many other boxes, the coaches at CFDP care about improving the health of elite athletes and novices alike. They show genuine enthusiasm for progress regardless of your fitness level. The facility is always clean and always improving. Seems like we get new equipment in every week.

Fantastic experience: Honestly the best crossfit experience I've had across the United States, from the moment you walk in you're treated as if you've always been there. The workouts are excellent, and after 3 months I'm in the best shape of my life. Cannot thank the coaches and community enough!

Fantastic experience: Great place and awesome people!!!

Fantastic experience: Really great facility- awesome people and really accommodating to us when we were visiting.

Fantastic experience: While visiting Dana Point my wife and I dropped in twice and the experience was nothing short of amazing. Zak, JB and Becca were all amazing coaches each with the ability to push each athlete just slightly out of their comfort zones. The programming was incredibly safe and effective providing room for both mental and physical growth during our WODs. The community that Zak, the owner, has built is nothing short of extraordinary. My wife and I felt as though we were family from the moment we walked into the gym. CrossFit Dana Point is a must-experience if you're looking to take yourself to the next level.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dana Point was a community like no other. My husband and I dropped in for a few classes over a long weekend in the area. Zak, JB, and Becca were all very kind, encouraging and so welcoming! We truly felt as though we were already a part of their family. Everyone was so fun to workout with and socialize with before and after the WOD. The WODs were challenging, but there were modifications for everyone to perform at their level. They all went well above making us feel as though we already belonged! When we eventually move to the area this will be our first place to sign up and become CrossFit Dana Point lifers!
