CrossFit^® Dover

Fantastic experience: I started at a different CrossFit gym where I was at for three years. I joined CrossFit Dover in June and I felt right at home. This is a family and community based gym with excellent people. The coaches push you and encourage you every time you step in the gym while making you feel at home. The gym also partners with the community making everyone feel welcome. I am glad I made the switch and for those looking for a family based gym CrossFit Dover is the place for you. Whether you’re older, younger, or feeling hesitant trust me the athletes and coaches will get you to where you need to be. Thank you CrossFit Dover for welcoming me and helping me to feel home

Fantastic experience: From the quality of the coaching to the cleanliness of the equipment, this gym is Excellent. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I visited CFD on a recent business trip. This box, and the coach, George are legit! He does a great job with mobility and scaling options for those that are newer/older/not ready for Rx standards. But those Rx standards are there if you want to give it a go! Whether you're in the neighborhood, or a local looking for a change, I strongly recommend this box.

Fantastic experience: Awsome coaching! Coach George and Coach Michael will help you #own your day.

Fantastic experience: I came to meet George from CrossFit Dover after having the opportunity to view a class he put on for Air Force Recruits about 5 years ago. I love his energy and how he made the recruits work out as a team. I couldn’t workout then because of a back injury. Fast forward 5 years and my back injury was worse and subsequently I was about 60 lbs overweight at about 230 lbs. I needed a change and no amount of physical therapy was going to get me what I needed. I had to try. George brought me in and completed the consult, having me join a 2 week intro course to make sure I could functionally get through the movements. A LOT of modification is needed for many workouts…but in 4 months those modifications are getting less and less. My body has changed and I can move…my back still hurts but I am still functionally strong. Additionally, I aggravated my back twice since being welcomed to the family. They didn’t shrug it off. They put me into some more specific training directed at correcting many of the issues which weren’t getting corrected through my many bouts with traditional physical therapy. I am happy to announce that I I have reached my first goal since joining, climbing the 15 ft rope, and did sooner than the date I gave myself. They have gotten me mobile again and confident I can take care of my family better now. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to come to CrossFit Dover. I was intimidated before I started, but every single person has been so positive and supportive since I came into the class.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Comfortable workout atmosphere for everyone. Guaranteed a challenge. Great, professional coaches who are knowledgeable and supportive of everyone. Awesome community and fitness family, very welcoming.

Fantastic experience: I started my CrossFit journey in November 2020 and it was the best decision I had made all year! I had tried program after program, fad diets, etc. and nothing felt right to me until CrossFit. I met with George before signing up and he went over everything about CrossFit Dover. Before joining the group classes I was put through a 6 session one on one fundamental training ensuring I knew the moves. After successfully completing those classes I was able to join group classes! The group classes are always filled with people willing to help and motivate you throughout the workout. The coaches for each class always work hard to push each member to be the best that we can be! I finally found something that I enjoy doing instead of jumping from one fitness program to the next. If you are considering CrossFit Dover just go in and talk to George and his team I guarantee you’ll be a member before you leave. This is not just a gym but a community filled with laughter, fun, love, motivation and so much more.

Fantastic experience: George and the coaches at CrossFit Dover are awesome. They go above and beyond. The box is clean, the atmosphere is one of a family, and yet their is a professionalism like no other. If you want a wonderful CrossFit experience, stop on in.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place with awesome people! Coaches are professional and friendly.

Fantastic experience: I recently joined CrossFit Dover and was completely new to CrossFit. The staff does and excellent job of introducing you to the CrossFit movements and correct/safe techniques. They also transition you into classes so you feel ready to attend on your own. I did not feel thrown in to chaos at all. After my intros, I still had questions and all of the coaches were positive and helpful with their responses! The coaches do a great job of learning your name and workout style. They offer advice if you are feeling weak or hurt to modify the workout. I haven’t seen a workout that couldn’t be modified/adjusted for an athletes needs. I certainly get a nice good push when I need it from the coaches and enjoy the workout environment. The coaches and members are very welcoming and have a great sense of community. They offer a lot of events or challenges to keep you engaged no matter your skill level. If you have been on the edge about trying it, do it! They have really figured this business out and do an excellent job keeping you safe and getting you plugged into the gym!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place with amazing coaches and peers. It is so much more than just a gym. I love the group setting where everyone is pushing their limits together, yet it is individualized because everyone's limits are different. Coach's are great with giving feedback to keep you growing, improving, and setting new goals. Everyone in class really supports and encourages each other. We do a lot outside of the gym class as well which really helps to bond and create a community which is like a second family. I have achieved crazy goals and done amazing things I never thought I'd be able to do.

Fantastic experience: I am new to CrossFit and it has been an amazing experience. The coaches and members are all very friendly and helpful. George and his staff do an excellent job with exercise instruction and monitoring your progress.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dover is a place where people of all levels and abilities can find a challenge and community!! I always leave feeling both accomplished and supported. The coaches are amazing and care so much about each athletes individual needs! A great place to do fitness!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dover has been an amazing experience! The staff is incredibly helpful and motivating.... I use the word "staff" lightly as you will find out they very quickly become your gym family!!! The positive atmosphere and energy is infectious! I know that a lot of people are intimidated when they hear the term CrossFit but at CFD they are great about modifying and scaling movements/exercises for all ages and levels of fitness. CrossFit Dover isn't just about the gym though, their dedication to the community is unbelievable. From Student Fitness League (which is provided at no charge for middle school kids twice a year) to coat drives, habitat for humanity, and helping wherever a needs is in the community, CrossFit Dover is always willing. The amazing thing is you will never hear Coach George, or any of the Coaches, bragging about what amazing things the gym does. If you have read this far I highly recommend and encourage you to at least give it a trial run. You are stronger then you think, physically and mentally, and CrossFit Dover is incredible at guiding you along your journey to become better then you were yesterday!

Fantastic experience: I have been part of Crossfit Dover just over 2 years now. Not only have I gained new friends I have gained a community to workout with. I have lost weight, gained confidence, lessened my anxiety, reduced pain in my joints. When you hear Crossfit you might think “ohh I don’t like bulky looks, or I don’t lift weights “. Crossfit Dover is so much more than the stigma. I look leaner, have learned how to eat cleaner. I do my workouts to fit my needs and my body. Its life changing and I am forever grateful to the coaches who helped me get to where I am today. Try a free class and you will see the difference

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of CrossFit Dover for almost four years. No matter what your fitness level, CrossFit Dover will have something for you. The coaches are very knowledgeable, and consistently work with every member to make sure they have a good and safe workout. If you are tired of the same old workout, you need to give them try.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking to make life changes this a great place to improve yourself. CrossFit Dover has awesome coaches who will train you to do crossfit the proper way and help you to become the best version of yourself. Not only do they help you physically, they help you nutritionally as well. If you want to lose weight you cannot out train a bad diet. Losing weight is 80 percent of what you feed yourself. They will help you in all areas and the other members are very supportive. This box is a great group of people who care about your overall well being and their community as a whole.

Fantastic experience: I joined Crossfit Dover 2 years ago and it was the best decision I have ever made! The coaches are amazing. Crossfit Dover is not just a gym, it's much more than that. The sense of community is like no other. If you want to be better give it a try. Even if you think crossfit is not for you, you will be surprised what you can accomplish when you have the right team helping you. You will be glad you did!!!

Fantastic experience: You will not regret starting your new year here! The community has wonderful coaches and members. I have made my best friends here, and together we strive to live a healthier lifestyle, mind and body. All classes fit any age or any stage. Crossfit has so many ways to get you a good workout for the day, it never is the same - so it doesn’t get boring. Warning! You’ll get addicted!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dover provides individuals with a very well rounded experience. From the tough workouts provided, to feeling like a team, it is worth it.The coaches truly care on a personal level and it shows with each class taken. I love being a part of the CrossFit Dover family!

Fantastic experience: My life changed after I joined Crossfit Dover. I was very skeptical in the beginning however with constant encouragement and guidance of all the coaches, I have been able to achieve so much. Additionally made so many friends..

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend CrossFit Dover! I was a true beginner to all things fitness related when I encountered CrossFit. The coaching staff is very knowledgeable and helps you get the most out of every workout based on your needs and abilities. The culture at CrossFit Dover is one of community. Not only do you become part of a caring and encouraging community of people focused on leading healthy lives, but you also get many opportunities to serve and give back to the local community throughout the year. Try CrossFit Dover, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dover is an amazing place. Intimidation free workouts are a blessing and you get that and so much more here. The team of leaders want nothing but the best for their members and spend all their time helping you achieve it. George (owner) is fantastic to work with and will help you achieve your goals whatever they may be. If you are looking for a great workout led by skilled and knowledgeable coaches, and a great team of like minded members to help you reach your fitness goals this is the place for you! Don’t wait, you truly are missing out.

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would be able to do CrossFit but I stepped out of my comfort zone back in November of 2017 and loved it! The coaches care whether you’re there or have been MIA. The instructors at CrossFit Dover will challenge you, hold you accountable and encourage you to finish each workout. CrossFit Dover offers more than just a place to workout, CF Dover offers a community that has been instrumental not just during workouts but outside the gym as well.

Fantastic experience: Love the coaches, community, and gym. All of the coaches are very personable, they will push you to do better everyday but not to the point where you will be put in a dangerous position. The community is very supportive and want you to succeed. The gym facility is lovely as well, all of the weights and equipment are top of the line and in tip top shape.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dover is more than a gym, its a community of like minded individuals led by passionate coaches who genuinely care for their all their athletes. George and his coaches ensure equal treatment regardless of experience or tenure. All drop ins and new members are introduced at the start of class and usually put on the spot for a fun fact (fair warning), birthdays are celebrated with burpees (another fair warning) and friendships are developed which turn into more like family relationships. If you’re looking for a drop in or are local and want a new environment to train, check out CrossFit Dover.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dover is so wonderful! No matter what your fitness level, the coaches and athletes here make you feel comfortable and any of the workouts can be modified to accommodate a wide range of needs! You will not be disappointed!!!

Fantastic experience: First off I would like to say I enjoyed every moment I spent at CrossFit Dover the community is great and your surrounded with so much positivity before and after work outs along with any community events they do. The staff and the people you work out with are always there to push you and cheer you on, and if you have a goal you will be sure to achieve it.

Fantastic experience: Life change is what CrossFit Dover is all about! The community at CrossFit Dover is so much more than just people to workout with, we are a family!! The coaching team cares for each individual athlete and strive to make everyone’s experience at the box an amazing one! I highly recommend CrossFit Dover and could imagine going anywhere else!!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending this box for about a year now. I have nothing but amazing things to say about this gym! As a non “fit” person, I was super intimated to walk in the doors for the first time, but I am so glad I did. The owners and coaches are all top notch and work with us to make sure we know how to do moves correctly and give amazing encouragement. I was never made to feel like I didn’t belong and was in fact encouraged to keep doing the moves and exercises that I could do...and pushed me safely to step outside my comfort zone. The community that CrossFit Dover has created is super amazing! I have also have my two middle school kids in their Students program. That program has been life changing for them! They love going and have seen progress in themselves both physically and emotionally. If I could give them 10 stars I would! Definitely go check them out!

Fantastic experience: I have been privileged to be a part of CrossFit Dover for the last two years. This is an amazing place filled with talented coaches who foster community while ensure a safe and challenging workout experience. You do not need to have any experience to start here, all levels are welcomed and celebrated. Coaches pay attention to technique and ability level so no one feels isolated or unwelcome. I LOVE this place!

Fantastic experience: George and his coaches have made Crossfit Dover more of a family than a gym. He takes time to make sure each athlete and student-athlete are safe and successful.

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous when I walked into Crossfit Dover my first time, but after meeting the coaches that quickly went away. Everyone was so friendly and patient with me. As I immersed myself in the gym, I quickly realized that everyone, not just staff, cared about my pursuit of a healthier me. Definitely love this gym and everything that it stands for.

Fantastic experience: I have never been able to stick with any exercise program. Once I joined Crossfit Dover 3 years ago, I have been amazed at what my body can do. The gym is an actual community of people who care for one another. It doesn't matter what your fitness level is. The WOD can be adjusted. Just get off the couch and move. If I can do it , ANYONE can.

Fantastic experience: I am new to Delaware and it was important to me to find a CrossFit box “gym” that aligned with my fitness goals and personal values. CrossFit Dover is a well-equipped box with coaches who are committed to every member, your personal fitness goals, and overall wellness. After the initial pandemic, prior to re-opening, they put tremendous thought into the equipment lay-out, timing of classes, flow of the members between and during classes, equipment disinfectant, hygiene, and overall spacing for every workout. The attention to detail to maintain an aesthetically pleasing environment will put the most obsessive germophobe at ease. There are large locker rooms with clean showers and lockers. Coaches scale workouts according to your ability and are supportive of the gym’s overall “mission”. The mission? CrossFit Dover is far more than a place to work out. George, Brooke, Michael, and all the coaches are committed to each members, however all pledge to serve the community. They operate as role models and encourage members to support one-another in and outside the gym. They actively support regular fun events, as well as activities, which improve the neighborhood, and aid those in the community who are less fortunate. Check them out, you will be impressed.

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about the experience of this place. Coming here was way out of my comfort zone, I'm not really a group person and preferred solitary exercise pursuits aside from the fact that walking in on that first day and seeing all the athletes and clang of the dropping bars definitely had an intimidation factor but then George quickly welcomed the other newcomers and I and got us started on our first crossfit lesson. Three years later I wonder why I didn't join sooner. The positive atmosphere is like no other. The coaching staff is superb, professional, highly welcoming, accommodating and always know your name. The members are very welcoming and supportive regardless of your level of fitness or expertise. Truly makes exercise a fun enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience: This is my second recommendation for Crossfit Dover and for good reason. The coaches have a well-developed deliberate training program, help every athlete realize their strengths, and have built an inclusive family atmosphere that I have never experienced in any other gym. I highly recommend Crossfit Dover to any athlete from beginner to advanced.

Fantastic experience: I have been with CrossFit Dover since the Summer 2019. The coaches are amazing and always willing to help with you. At first, I was unsure if I could actually do CrossFit, but if you have the mindset to get past what you say no to and just try you will be glad you did not only for your own mind but for your health. Everyone at CrossFit Dover make sure they know you and make sure when they see you either in the gym or in the community they know your name, ever the first time they meet you they remember, that is encouragement enough that they know and they care.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Dover is the most encouraging, friendliest and cleanest place! When you walk in, you are immediately welcomed by coaches and athletes. The coaches are top notch and I have been so impressed with the quality of concern for the health and safety of all athletes. CrossFit Dover is like no other!

Fantastic experience: Best Life Decision I have ever made was joining Crossfit Dover! All the coaches are more than qualified to get you where you want to be. They are dedicated to the community inside and outside the gym. No matter where you are in your life/health there is a spot for you!

Fantastic experience: If you want truly want to get in shape, this is the place for you hands down. Not only will CrossFit Dover whip you into shape, the staff provides the true support needed to help you remain accountable. THEY WANT TO SEE YOU HIT GOALS! What I love most about CrossFit Dover is the community they provide. It’s a challenge to maintain gym life on your own. I know when I try to do it I always start out strong, and then it gets old. I didn’t know why until I realized I need people and good coaches to push me, take the journey with me, and make me feel like I am a part of a team. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, kind, tough, and detailed in what they do. I can honestly say it’s more than worth every dollar and every second. Strength. Discipline. Community. Change. Growth. Friendship. Family. That’s what you get.

Fantastic experience: I have been a Crossfit member for the last 6 1/2 years. The Coaches and members are wonderful. Everyone works together to cheer you on, encourage you and make you feel like family.

Fantastic experience: Joining Crossfit Dover on Jan 10th 2017 was a life changing experience for me. I have struggled with my weight and self confidence for years. Nothing ever worked long term. I needed something different and Crossfit was it. Being a part of Coach George’s Crossfit community has completely given me a sense of self that I needed. I feel proud being able to complete the workouts and challenges. I feel amazing after every WOD. Positive, proud, and accomplished. It’s contagious!

Fantastic experience: I've worked out at something like 10-15 CrossFit gyms, and Crossfit Dover is among the best of the best. The gym is excellently equipped and the coaches are experienced and engaging. But, most importantly, this is a plain old fun place to work out. CrossFit can seem intimidating to some people, but the community at CrossFit Dover is incredibly welcoming and everybody works to ensure newcomers have a positive experience. This is my happy place and I could not recommend it more highly.

Fantastic experience: CFD is handling the pandemic in stride, with safe distances between members, clean facilities, and even temperature checking upon entrance. Outside of the top notch coaching I received, and the welcoming members - dropping into this gym has been a highlight of my stay here in DE.

Fantastic experience: Focused on generating success in fitness via well coached classes and promotion of team effort. Classes work you hard and you wonder why you do them and then the next day we are back for more. Just seems right!

Fantastic experience: Excellent CrossFit gym to be a part of with the very best in coaches to guide you. They truly look out for you and ensure you’re doing every movement correctly to ensure you avoid injury. The people I’ve met here are indeed a great team and they push you in the right way to keep you motivated to better yourself. The type of experience you would never get going to a normal gym. This place is well worth your time, you won’t regret it!!

Fantastic experience: LOVE CF Dover! Moved out of the area but I miss the gym terribly. Great community where everyone from the experienced Crossfitter to the new person is welcomed with open arms. The staff makes a point to remember names of all new people and encourages a positive atmosphere. George and Michael are also phenomenal coaches with regard to technique.

Fantastic experience: This is not a gym, its a community of like minded individuals who are here to get healthy, get stronger and challenge themselves every day. WE ARE FAMILY .. There is something here for everyone. Every movement will meet YOU where YOU are.. You have "best in class" partnering up with day one beginners. Everyone checks their ego at the door. The coaching staff is fantastic; everyone knows your name and is made to feel welcome. Many fun group events throughout the year.. You can be as committed and involved as you want to be. CrossFit Dover has no competition, only imatators..First in the state and in my humble opinion, BEST IN THE STATE!

Fantastic experience: This gym rocks. I travel for work, and have visited many CF gyms. This one rocks! George the owner has an awesome team of coaches, mindsets, tools and programs for the person who is either a) already CF hardy OR b) the peeps looking to get into CF. Don't be intimidated by the buff studs; the coaches and members are very friendly and helpful, and they know their movements. There is a program for you at this gym, lots of class options - plus open gym, which is hard to come by at CF gyms sometimes. CF Dover's coaches also know how to modify movements to workaround injuries, and they take the time to show you the right way to prevent injuries. Love this gym!

Fantastic experience: I used to be a sceptic of crossfit but after joining crossfit dover I absolutely love it. The staff creates a welcoming and safe environment with a very accommodating schedule. Crossfit dover is more than a gym it's a community. I recommend everyone of any athletic ability to join the team!!
