CrossFit Lobo - De Zavala

Fantastic experience: I visit about 5 to 8 gyms a year when I travel and am a coach at Crossfit Brevard in NC. Every time I drop into a gym I look for three things 1) Does the coach and do other athletes make me feel welcome 2) how is the facility and 3) does the coach actually coach. At Crossfit Lobo all three of these were spot on for me. Dee engaged me with a hand shake and a smile me before I even got in the door. Other athletes introduced themselves, the facility was great, even had a lifting room, and Dee jumped in and really coached. It's a gym I would be excited to be a part of if I lived in San Antonio.

Fantastic experience: I am a 57 yr. old male who has worked out for many years at various local gyms. I started Crossfit Lobo in April of 2015. I was motivated by a program I listened to on Sirius XM Doctor Radio which reviewed the Crossfit method. I researched various crossfit boxes in San Antonio and settled on Crossfit Lobo after reading several positive reviews. My experience with the ownership and management has been excellent. The staff is well trained and looks out for us with a high level of interest. I was trained in all the movements and evaluated as to my fitness level and abilities before joining the classes. I have enjoyed every workout and although it is hard ; I feel like I am progressing every day. My knees and back which have hurt for years are feeling better every day. I am very happy with my decision to join Crossfit Lobo and I know you will be too.

Fantastic experience: Love this San Antonio CrossFit Box! The best CF gym I've been a part of. It is off DeZavala Rd close to I-10 on the Northwest side of San Antonio, very convenient to many work places.The coaching is top notch and the programming is well planned out, not random like so many others. Dee, the owner, cares for every person there. He takes the time to truly coach and help each athlete. You will not regret choosing this facility.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Lobo is one of the best gyms in San Antonio. Dee, owner and one of the coaches, really takes a lot of pride in his gym which means that he will provide you with the best coaching and workout experience possible. The equipment is super nice, layout leaves room for all kinds of workouts, and the people who go there are very welcoming. Dee makes it a point to make sure that everyone meets everyone and no matter your skill level you will find a great work out at this gym. If you need to take a shower before leaving, Crossfit Lobo has some really nice restrooms with everything you need. I really suggest that if you are looking for a crossfit gym that you check this place out.

Fantastic experience: Dee Zimmerman and crew run a fantastic Crossfit Box. The level of instruction and coaching is the best in the business. This is the only Crossfit Box I have been to that has a yoga studio attached. Yoga classes are offered to the Crossfiters as part of their membership

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Lobo is excellent in every possible way. The box is beautiful, spacious and well-organized. Dee, owner and one of the coaches, is very attentive to detail in his programming and coaching, and clearly takes great joy in helping his athletes succeed. He has a wonderful staff of supportive and knowledgeable coaches. They are well-prepared to work with athletes of all ability levels, from beginner to elite. As a CrossFit newbie (at over 40 years old), the introductory classes were a great foundation before progressing to the full workouts. Since I began in December 2014, each week has brought remarkable results in terms of health, strength and fitness gains. The Lobo Pack is a wonderful group of folks who work hard, play hard, and are so welcoming to everyone. I love coming here, and highly recommend it to anyone considering CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: I dropped in to a Saturday class, and it was great. Dee is very friendly and the box is large and well organized. Everyone introduced themselves and it was easy to see that Lobo has a strong, fun community. I look forward to coming back to Lobo when I am next in San Antonio.

Fantastic experience: Awesome CrossFit gym. Great staff, very friendly clients, extremely clean. I had a great time at my workout. Coaching was on point, workout was well designed. A+ in my opinion.

Fantastic experience: Best crossfit gym I've been to. Excellent programming, expert staff and immaculate facilities. Would recommend to anyone looking to try crossfit or simply change up their workout or try a new box.

Fantastic experience: It is impossible to say one bad thing about this place. It couldn't be a more welcoming environment for athletes of any level. I look forward to coming in and learning something new everyday from Dee and his fantastic supporting cast. Military friendly and an AMAZING community of people. Becoming apart of CrossFit Lobo has been one of the most gratifying experiences of my life.

Fantastic experience: I was extremely intimidated about CrossFit and knew nothing of the sport. CrossFit Lobo made it so easy for a beginner like me! They have amazing beginners classes that familiarize you with the movements, and from there everything is scaled to each individuals capabilities. CrossFit Lobo has taught me so much and has accepted me into the pack!! Love it here!!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing place for all levels of crossfit athletes. They take their time to build on their beginner athletes. the coaches and staff are amazing. The facility is spacious and very welcoming and clean.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had nothing but great experiences with the owners and all training staff. Very friendly environment and knowledgeable staff that’s willing to work with you no matter the limitation. Highly recommend!!

Positive experience: I was there for a beer mile event. Everyone I had met was friendly and had nothing but great words of encouragement for each other

Fantastic experience: I was in town for two weeks for work and found Crossfit Lobo - Da Zavala. They had a good deal for unlimited drop ins which I decided to give a shot. It was a great decision as I was welcomed with open arms. Great supportive atmosphere that allows you to scale to your level. I recommend this place for anyone coming in to San Antonio.

Fantastic experience: Great facility with top tier coaching. All new equipment, programming was spot on. Highly recommend and thanks Lee for letting me drop in! I’ll be back next trip to SA.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality Had the opportunity to drop-in to CrossFit Lobo while visiting SA last week. Glad I did! Lee, the coaches, the athletes... all great! Will definitely return next time I’m in the area. Absolutely recommend to any traveling CrossFitter or anyone local looking for a great workout experience!

Fantastic experience: Awesome crossfit gym, highly recommended! ????

Fantastic experience: I dropped into this gym on a business trip and I’m so glad I did. I took Bianca’s class and she did a fantastic job! It’s so refreshing to have a coach that constantly works on their continuing education and applies it in class. Bianca most certainly does that. She also made me feel extremely welcome and the class was so much fun. The gym is clean, organized, has plenty of room, and beautiful! I’ll most certainly be back next time I’m in town!

Fantastic experience: Great community! We love it here. It's even going well with at home workout programming during these times

Fantastic experience: Cant speak highly enough about CrossFit Lobo. The facilities are amazing and kid friendly which is always a plus! I was very hesitant coming in and was very unsure if I even had the ability to join. First day in, the coaches, staff and community made me feel welcome and guided me step by step. The coaches listen to all your concerns and the programming is on point. To say this gym has impacted my life is an understatement, they’ve helped me build endurance, physical strength and have helped me build confidence in myself. No other gym has supported me as much as CrossFit Lobo has.

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing!! Staff is wonderful and very welcoming. I inquired on 3 crossfit gyms and this was the first and only place (till this day) that reached out to me in minutes! After my trial session, I signed up for the rest of the month. Now I see why they are 5 stars, you have to come check it out for your self!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Lobo is truly a special place. Three things stand out to me: attentive coaches who focus on both skill and safety, an exceptionally welcoming community that makes you feel at home from Day 1, and quality programming that pushes you to improve. At Lobo, everyone is treated with respect and coached to become a better athlete, regardless of their fitness level or abilities.

Fantastic experience: I've been to several boxes across the city and the country. Best box by far. Lobo is full of normal people who care about health and longevity. Grateful to be apart of the pack!!-- Said that 3 years ago and I still feel the same way.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at this gym/box for the past two now and I absolutely love Crossfit Lobo! The programming brought back my excitement to working out again but the people are what makes Lobo special. The coaches make you feel welcomed and a part of the pack right away while pushing you to be better. The membership is laid back and encouraging. The gym is spacious with upgrades consistently being made, throughout my time here. If your looking for a gym and community to inspire you on your fitness journey, this is the place! - Summer & Ivan Henry

Fantastic experience: Can't speak highly enough about this gym! Wonderful atmosphere and an encouraging community of athletes and coaches. Well organized programming with clean facilities. Lee and Chelsea pour a lot of pride and heart into their gym and it's people, and it definitely shines through.

Fantastic experience: This gym is great because you just show up! When you get there you are greeted by several friendly people, the coach introduces themselves and makes sure you know where things are and what movements to do and how to do them. The workout is already written for you so you don’t have to think about what to do. The coaches give you feedback every class so you can be confident you will not get hurt and will improve. Everything can be made easier or harder so you are sure to get a safe and great workout for wherever you are in your fitness journey. This gym is for any age, we have high school students up to people in their 70’s, and there are tons of class times offered. One is sure to fit in your schedule.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Crossfit Lobo. I went in knowing nothing about crossfit and was welcomed by a group of people ready to teach me everything I needed to know. I became stronger than I had ever been and for the first time in a long time, I felt good about how I looked. Anyone looking to try a crossfit gym, switch crossfit gyms, or just improve their overall strength/health, I 100% recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: Lobo is an awesome box because everyone there is super welcoming and it’s always a great workout. The coaches are super knowledgeable and always help with the movements and scaling. It’s the best place to have fun and workout.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Lobo is a fantastic community of people that make you feel at home. The coaches and staff are extremely friendly and support you not only as an athlete, but as a person. If you are looking for a box, this is the one!

Fantastic experience: Great Box! Everytime I go I leave feeling better. It's a great atmosphere full of individuals who are trying to improve. The coaches are always helpful and watchful to prevent injuries!

Fantastic experience: I don’t consider myself a “Crossfitter”. I was like a lot of people that have gym memberships. You go but not consistently enough for it to make a difference. You become discouraged with your results and you start to feel yourself slowing slipping into this middle-aged body where your gut begins to creep over your belt and things giggle in areas that never giggled before when you run. I needed to find something that would make me more accountable and disciple with my fitness. A friend told me try this CrossFit gym by my house and see if it would be something that worked for me. I was definitely not excited to start CrossFit because of the stories you hear about people injuring themselves and gyms being filled with a bunch of juicehead jersey shore types. Also, I was not thrilled about the price of memberships being significantly higher than what I was paying for my gym membership. I signed up and started going after work. I could not be more pleased with the gym for a couple reasons. First, you sign up for a class time and they show you exactly what to do for every workout. The coach looks after you to make sure you are using the proper technique and they will help you scale the workout if it is something you can’t do. This is important to me because when I get out of work, I don’t want to think about what workout I need to put together. I just show up and there is a workout already prepared for me and I get a trainer to help me complete it. Second, the people that go to the gym are great people. You really get a feeling of community and team when you are there. Everyone that goes to the gym are different ages, different levels of fitness and comes from different backgrounds but the one constant is everyone is trying to make themselves better. Lastly, you can tell ownership has really put a lot of time and effort into creating a successful gym. There is deliberate thought put into gym’s programming, the coaching, the gym aesthetics, branding and overall experience members receive when they come. The gym has exceeded my expectations and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to make a change in their fitness, even if they don’t consider themselves a “Crossfitter”.

Fantastic experience: After years of regular gym memberships I tried crossfit. The community at Lobo is so welcoming! I will say at first I was very skeptical. ALOT of googling the acronyms and movements...what is a C2B or AMPRAP? But the coaches are great at helping you understand everything, and 8 months later I'm still loving it so if you are looking for a place to motivate you to be the best version of yourself? I highly recommend Crossfit Lobo

Fantastic experience: It's hard to choose one reason why the gym is so great but if I were to choose one word, it would be people.It is a community of very humble, goal oriented, encouraging and supportive athletes on all levels, led by some of the most skilled and qualified coaches you will find anywhere.The coaches are always willing to assist you with anything or answer any question. We are always properly warmed up and coached before our workouts. I always feel safe and ready to go before a workout. It's a great family of people grinding it out everyday in a big and spacious, clean, well-equipped space. You check your ego at the door, leave your sweat on the floor, and go home knowing you were better than you were yesterday. All in all this is the best box in San Antonio in my opinion!!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in for a 5am visiting San Antonio. Y'all have a great box and I appreciate the work out. If I had to complain about anything it's that I was all sweaty and tired when I left! Lol. I highly recommend Crossfit Lobo. It's a clean and professional box. Thanks again for the work out and I'd love to drop in again soon.

Fantastic experience: I have been training consistently for about 6 months but have been at this box for about 2. The great vibe and competitive atmosphere is what keeps me coming. Great coaches and great training regiments are what you will find at Lobo. Despite the number of gym members, Lee and Chelsea do a great job of creating an effective family oriented atmosphere praising you when you do well and keeping you accountable for the days you don't show up. No cons so far for me.

Fantastic experience: Fun workout! Plus a great facility and even better coaches. if you're looking for a Crossfit box in the area... Look no further!

Fantastic experience: Came into town from Abilene to visit family and decided to drop in at crossfit lobo! The owner and all the member were amazing. Very welcoming and encouraging, making you feel like you are apart of the gym! Highly recommend stopping in and giving them a try! You won't regret it! If I lived here in San Antonio I would be a member!

Fantastic experience: I love Crossfit Lobo. I drive past a LOT of other boxes to get here each day... this facility and these ​coaches can’t be beat. I​'m a 30-something mom and joined not knowing a soul, not working out at all, and completely new to Crossfit and strength-training. I now have a family of friends​ that encourage each other daily to be our best. I'm stronger, more confident, and can't stand to miss a day!​ Do it.

Fantastic experience: I had been eyeing CrossFit Lobo for months prior to separating from the military and returning back from overseas, largely because the reviews spoke to great coaches and a welcoming environment. I moved to San Antonio last September, joined the box shortly thereafter, and can tell you I have not been disappointed in any way. There is a wonderful camaraderie and sense of community, the coaches (Dee, Emma, Lee) are all impressively knowledgeable and attentive, and the programming here surpasses all expectations. Over the last few months, I have come to depend on the coaches' feedback and support, which have been 100% crucial to the development I have been able to make as an athlete. In the past, I dealt with bouts of overtraining, injury, and misinformation on how to recover from those injuries. Since joining Lobo, I have been able to train adequately and effectively, even while recovering from a fractured foot, and I have developed a much more holistic understanding of fitness, nutrition, and recovery. I can't rave enough about this box. Lobo operates on a sense of inclusion, top-notch programming, and encourages everyone to push their personal limits - whether they be the World's Strongest Woman or a professional couch potato. Whatever your fitness needs are, Lobo can accommodate them!!

Fantastic experience: I have been both an athlete and coach within CrossFit for quite some time now, and have never come across a better or more comfortable space to lift, sweat, coach, learn, and smile. I have gotten stronger, both mentally and physically, which is a testament to the programming and awesome coaching staff. The amazing culture permeates throughout the gym, where you'll find smiling faces, high-fives, positivity, and unbridled support. I absolutely love being a part of something so unique, and can't recommend Lobo enough. If you're 15 or you're 85, and you're looking for a place to share a little misery, Lobo is your home.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I dropped in on vacation and picked lobo based off reviews online. Great box, coach and people! Highly recommend this gym to anyone. Thanks for having us!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Lobo is the best crossfit gym in San Antonio! They are helping my teenage son reach his true athletic ability! We've discussed with the coaching staff where he wants to be and each coach takes individualized attention with him to help make him a better and more competative athlete. We have seen a huge improvement in his attitude and his strength, holy moly is growing exponentially! Not only is the coaching top notch, the facility is amazing. It is the largest and most well equipped crossfit gym I have ever been it. The atmosphere and the crossfit family here are great. I highly recommend this facility for anybody looking for a crossfit home, starting their crossfit journey wanting to get fit, be challenge and healthy!!

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love, love, love CrossFit lobo. For people of all shapes, sizes, and abilities- this gym is one of the best places I've ever worked out at (and trust me, I have tried COUNTLESS gyms and programs). The coaches, the members, and the overall environment is both inspirational and motivational. At Crossfit Lobo it feels like everyone is rooting you on. Working out here has honestly become one of the best parts of my day. I HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone looking for a good workout with GREAT people.

Fantastic experience: Every gym/box is unique, and this one is the best I've been to, by far! I'm one who appreciates knowledgable, experienced trainers, well-structured programming, and a fun, friendly community. This has everything I need! I've been coming here for over a year now and can't imagine switching to anything else. As someone who is skeptical about most things, I would suggest that, even if you've tried other boxes, this one is absolutely worth a visit!

Fantastic experience: I had never worked out in a ‘group’ setting, so I did not know what to expect. I was concerned that I would not be able to keep up and I would fall behind. However, my apprehension immediately went away when I began working with Coach Dee, Lee and Emma. Their professionalism, encouragement and knowledge have kept me going back week after week. The family atmosphere created at CrossFit Lobo encourages every athlete to share in each other’s progress, regardless of where you are on the fitness spectrum.

Fantastic experience: Last year, I was tired of being out of shape and I was ready for something new. A friend had suggested I try Crossfit since the group atmosphere might motivate me. I had NEVER done any type of weight lifting of high intensity workouts, so I was feeling pretty uncertain that Crossfit was really a good fit for me. I stumbled across Crossfit Lobo's website and reached out to the owner, Dee, to see if I could come observe a class before I gave it a try. Dee and all the other athletes were so welcoming and he spent a bit of time explaining the process and types of workouts. After a tour of the Box and watching a class in action, I was ready to give it a try. I signed up for the 101 class where Emma taught me proper form for basic lifts and movements, and I've been at Lobo since. Every coach at Crossfit Lobo is absolutely fantastic. They create a welcoming, motivating and challenging atmosphere that is perfect for both newbies and experienced crossfitters. You will never be forced to do a movement you are not ready for, and the coaches give critiques and one on one attention throughout the class. They are also great at helping you work through past injuries and strengthening weak areas of your body. If you're new to Crossfit or if you're looking for a box to call home - this is your place. It's completely changed my life and it will change yours too!

Fantastic experience: This is a great crossfit gym with very knowledgeable and friendly coaches that can facilitate any fitness level. Military friendly and veteran-owned, with flexible and competitive pricing. To top it off, it's a very nice facility with a large gym area and great equipment.

Fantastic experience: I just started CrossFit this week, and I'm thrilled to have found this gym. Both the coaches and the members have been incredibly welcoming and supportive. The coaches emphasize proper form, and have been very helpful in providing instruction and feedback to achieve that goal. They have even taken into account my personal build and previous injuries to help me customize my form to minimize injuries and maximize results.Overall, CrossFit Lobo does an excellent job of creating a fun, safe environment and strong sense of community while providing a great workout.

Fantastic experience: The coaches at Crossfit Lobo are amazing. I used to do crossfit informally in college but never learned proper form or technique. I was asked by a friend to do a drop in and try the box and was amazed at how much the coaches cared about form and technique, and how friendly everyone was. I had a previous ankle injury that I thought was healed, but Dee, Lee and Emma noticed my form on squats was off from day one. They worked with me to identify the issue and gave me stretches to do. I was amazed they were able to tell by my form that I had an injury, and that they have helped me so much with my mobility in my ankle. I can't say enough good things about this box, they've helped me so much with my fitness goals and I've already noticed a huge difference in the 3 months I've been going. The athletes here are also very encouraging and motivating.

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I found crossfit Lobo, trainers are so knowledgeable and encouraging. There is NO CONTRACT, which is awesome, but once you get there, I am POSITIVE that you will never leave. It's just that great! I have been to many crossfit gyms before and never felt such improvement in my body shape and technique. One more thing for sure, everyone makes you feel at home. Thank you so much coaches Dee, Lee, Emma and Liz!

Fantastic experience: I joined Crossfit Lobo almost a year ago, and it was the best decision I ever made. There are several reasons I would recommend this box over others. First, there is an undeniable feeling of camaraderie. Crossfit Lobo athletes are like family to each other. From the moment I walked in, Dee and Emma (two of the awesome coaches) made me feel welcome, gave me encouragement, and patiently taught me to do amazing lifts that I never imagined doing. Lee, another amazing coach who started coaching a little after I joined the box, is also amazing. He will make you laugh no matter how bad your day has been. The other athletes are just as encouraging and laugh-provoking as the coaches. I can always count on them to cheer me up at the end of a bad day. Overall, Crossfit Lobo is just full of good people. Second, the coaching at Lobo is amazing. Whether you want to enhance your endurance, increase your strength, or learn how to eat nutritiously, there is a coach who will help you achieve your goals and another athlete who has similar goals and who will encourage you along the way. I am stronger and fitter than I've ever been in my life (and I was a college volleyball player). The old aches that I used to have in my knees have completely disappeared thanks to Lee's advice concerning stretching and all of the coaches' expertise in and emphasis on correct lifting form. They really emphasize being safe while still making incredible lifts. I would highly recommend giving this place a try... and then continuing to work out there for the next 20 years. :) You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: My wife Veronica, has been going to Crossfit Lobo for a couple months now and she raves about the coaches and the training program. She has been to several crossfits and absolutely loves this one. Hopefully I will be able to join her soon.
