You won't get bored here- every day is a new combination of barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, gymnastic, and cardio movements that will push your fitness to the next level. You'll get stronger, faster, and leaner.

40-minute workouts that focus on cardio and core muscles, that don't require any prior CrossFit experience, but do require a willingness to work hard! With a focus on dumbbell, kettlebell, cardio, and bodyweight movements, Unloaded is a great way to mix it up.

Our nutrition coaching program is designed to provide individuals with an easy, science-based approach to nutrition and wellness. The program includes a personalized plan based on your unique goals, with accountability and complete confidentiality.

We know that it can be difficult to make friends as an adult, so we host social events every month to help you meet people. Those new friends help keep you motivated to stay connected to the gym and reach your fitness goals.

At this gym, you will find the best coaches and the most effective workouts. You will also have more fun than you thought possible. Fitness is a journey, and it is more enjoyable when shared with good people.

I came to Louisville without knowing anyone, but now I see the same people at the gym all the time and we're friends. It's a great community that I never would have found if I hadn't started going to the gym.

You cannot get prepared for something you have never done by doing something completely opposite to what you will do.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of DCCF for years and it's not just a gym-the members are part of a family. It's a positive community of wonderful and motivating people helping each other to become better versions of themselves through fitness but spilling over into many other facets of life. Derby City CrossFit is definitely not like any other gym you've been to-it's so much more than a gym.

Fantastic experience: Most professional coaching and the best community. Without a doubt the best group training facility in the Louisville area

Jenn Monohan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: This gym makes working out fun and something I look forward to on a daily basis. I don't go because I feel like I have to, I go because I want too. The members at this gym have become life-long friends and family!

Sailor Traub 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: When I first moved to Louisville, I had no friends or social circle to be a part of. My wife discovered DCCF and we went and checked it out. We were not in shape or prepared to the workouts, and at 33 I was very nervous to start. However, they eased us into training and taught us how to scale our workouts. A year later we are stronger, faster, and healthier. The DCCF community feels like family who we struggle with through our workouts while cheering each other on. I love it here!

Fantastic experience: Derby City CrossFit is the best gym in town. Great atmosphere, great community, and great coaching quality! And if you are new to CrossFit there is nowhere with a more in-depth beginner program.

Fantastic experience: Before you decide if you want to try out Derby City CrossFit, you're going to need to ask yourself some tough questions. Do you want to feel better? Do you want to be stronger? Do you want less fat on your bones? Do you want to be a part of a community that supports you regardless of whether or not you have ever touched a barbell or if you're already shredicated? If you answered no then best of luck to you, but if you answered yes, then get ready to eat lightning and crap thunder. Whatever level you're at now, you're gonna progress to the next level and beyond with other cool people trying to do the same. The coaches are very experienced and you can't beat being in the heart of St. Matthews.

Fantastic experience: I stumbled upon Derby City CrossFit about a year ago. Joining this gym has been the best decision I have made. This gym is filled with great people who become your friends inside the gym and out. The coaches are awesome and want to help you be the best athlete you can be whether you are training to compete or just wanting to get in a good work out for the day. Overall it is a wonderful atmosphere with a fantastic community of people that you will not find anywhere else. If you are looking for a great CrossFit gym you definitely need to check out Derby City CrossFit.

Big place, massive amounts of equipment, friendly people, energetic coach (Gabby)!!! 5 outta 5 Barbells!!!

Fantastic experience: Very nice and clean box with several areas for training. It's not on the main street, just up the hill on the side road.

Bryan Ozog 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Derby City has a great facility with excellent coaches. The class was well organized, on time and clearly explained. On top of it, they had the CrossFit Games broadcasting live! Highly recommend to anyone like myself who travels and is looking to drop in.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about this gym. My only regret is not joining sooner!! The best coaches, workouts, and environment to be in. And shoutout to Coach Lexi! She always takes the time to show proper technique and helps with anything you are struggling with or things you want to improve on.

Fantastic experience: Derby city is a great place! The location is in the middle of the city for someone like me who works at many different places. I find it easy to get to from wherever I am at in 15 min usually. The other good thing that it has so many classes starting every 30 min after 4 pm which makes it very convenient in case you miss a class due to traffic or work. The exercises itself are so much fun and intense yet can fit and scaled to anyone level. The coaches are so attentive and available and the owner is very great. The place has AC which is a big plus during hot summer and fall days. If you have any second thought then just come and try it yourself and I am sure you will get hooked. When I came here Slater- the owner- allowed me to try as many classes as I wanted and for free before I made my mind.

Fantastic experience: I love this CrossFit box. There are competent coaches, great ownership and awesome community. it’s the best competitive CrossFit box around.

Caleb Huber 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Have been a member here for 3 years and I love it. The coaches strike perfectly the balance of positive and constructive feedback - I feel like you are highly unlikely to injure yourself here because you are constantly getting technique feedback from the skilled coaches. 10/10 Would recommend even for those who aren't the most skilled athletes.

Jacob Rocke 3 years ago

David Crow 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Big gym, but welcoming. Now has space to not be crowded and has more convenient class times! Highly recommend as someone who's been to nearly every box in Louisville and 40+ worldwide.

Graham Faulkner 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I honestly can’t say enough about this gym. The facility is always clean and organized. Their coaches are really professional and take what they do seriously. They really stress quality of movement and overall health. They know how to meet people where they are and how to push them in the right ways so that they can not only get fitter, but also lead healthier, fuller lives long-term. The gym emphasizes community and is full of friendly, encouraging members. I love the convenience of all of their open gym and class times. It’s also great to be around so many people who vary in their fitness journeys but who all show up and work hard. I’ve been to a lot of gyms and dropped in to a lot of places all over the country. DC is hands down my favorite.

Fantastic experience: Found myself in Louisville for a work conference and purchased a week pass for Derby City Crossfit. I travel frequently and always make it a point to drop in on multiple different Crossfit gyms in each city so I can experience as many gyms as possible. I am an avid crossfitter and I have dropped in on countless gyms across the country and Derby City Crossfit is one of my favorite gyms. While in Louisville, I broke my rule of never attending the same gym twice because of how positive my experience was. The coaches are inviting and knowledgeable, the athletes are friendly and helpful, and the programming was both fun and challenging. I cannot recommend this gym enough. I am coming back to Louisville next month for another work conference and I will definitely be back to this gym.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy going to this crossfit gym. The staff friendly and helpful, they also push you to be great. I go to the 5am class and I like how every class ended with me laying on the floor in a puddle of my own sweat. In fact, everybody in the class ended up on the floor the same way. That is how you know that you are making progression. Not only that but they have meal preps that you can take advantage of. The gym even has its own downloadable app. Really left a good impression on me and I would recommend it to anybody I know.

Fantastic experience: Whenever I am in Louisville, I always drop into DCCF. Slater runs an excellent CF affiliate- it’s always clean, well organized and the WODs are challenging. Even further, the community they have there is extremely welcoming. I always have a great time when I am there. If you’re in Louisville and curious about Crossfit- check them out. If you’re in Louisville for work or pleasure- again, check them out!

Fantastic experience: Amazing community, tons of class times (no pre-sign up required! ) and truly accessible to all fitness levels. Do it.

nalo mcwilliams 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Joined in May of this year. I was really Struggling to workout consistently which led me to Derby City. No longer struggling!! I enjoy the time I spend working out, getting fit and firm. The coaches are all great at teaching the correct movements and encouraging each person to do their best no matter what exercise level that person is on. I also like the meet ups outside of the gym to build socialization. This is a real fun place and I’m glad to be a part!!

Courtney Tischbein 6 years ago

emeline renz 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I needed a spot to train for powerlifting while visiting Louisville, so I contacted a couple gyms. Slater got back to me right away, and was very welcoming both by email and in person. I visited during open gym hours, so there were only a few people there training. The space is awesome with ample equipment for all strength sports! They don't have fractional plates, but Slater helped me improvise with collars! Brilliant! Thanks again, Derby City CF, you rock!
