Been going here for a few months now and have been pleased. They start you with a coach and then your coach does about four sessions of 1:1 hours with you to assess where you are physically and then works to build the best plan depending on your goals. They offer a few options to join with hybrid, class-only or 1:1 packages. No contracts. You can choose to participate month to month. read more

I tried this gym after I received a guest pass!! This is the perfect balance of good cardio and strength training. The instructor was helpful yet made the class very challenging. That's what I look for in a good gym! They were helpful in starting me off slow as I've never done a CrossFit type workout before! After words I stopped by my favorite smoothie place to get a protein smoothie. Right down the road called I Love Juice Bar Park Lane! Workout + refuel! read more

I tried out several different CrossFit gyms before locking down CFDC and it was the best decision I've ever made. All the coaches emphasize form and take you through progressions of lifts EVERY DAY! I have seen so many places not warm up Olympic lifts and I think that is dangerous. Each coach has their own spin and personality but all are amazing. The owner, Spencer Nix takes an interest in every athlete and makes you feel like you're the only one he's focusing on - making you feel like everything is personalized and tailored to you. It is such an amazing community to be a part of and am so happy I committed two years ago. Don't have a CrossFit gym? LOOK NO FURTHER!!!! read more

I joined CFDC about 6 months ago and could not be happier with my decision. I have been on a long fitness journey and jumping into CFDC has been nothing but great. From the coaches to the owner, everyone is very involved and helpful! This is my 3rd CrossFit gym in the DFW area and the best out here, CFDC is were I will be staying. The programming, people, environment, and facility are all super inviting and top tier. read more

Here's the deal: you can spend your entire life looking for a place you'll love to call home for all things health and fitness....or you can just come to CFDC! The people, the programming, the community, the friendships are all there. You'll understand what I'm talking about if you just check it out. read more

I loved the gym and the work out was amazing. The coaches and athletes were all very welcoming and nice. The drop in price ($25) was a little bit much for me, but overall it was a great experience. I would recommend it to anybody stopping by. read more

Behavior & Performance Research - I dropped in today and had a great workout. The coaches and athletes were really friendly. The box is huge!!! - Health Coach Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Such a fantastic find! I travel to Dallas for work and always try to stay in close proximity to CFDC. They are such an amazing box filled with great - and welcoming - people! The programming and coaching is fantastic and challenging and makes me wish I lived in Dallas! read more

This is not your average gym. They don't want to be just an average gym. If you've heard about Crossfit, you know. It's a place to get into peek fitness. Not just beach body firm, I mean bad ass, nothing can stop you, you can do anything kind of fitness. First off, it's raw; don't look for AC or towels, or a sauna, or well, even treadmills. The only energy you're going to expend here is your own. You will sweat, you will gasp for breath and you will probably cry and most certainly curse like you've never cursed before. But in the end, if you keep it going, you will be fit. Firefighter, Navy Seal, Marine FIT! Now having said all this, I crapped out after three visits. It's not my thing, I'm a yoga girl. However, my husband is a regular and he's morphed into the hottest, hardest, fittest man I know - okay maybe the leaders, Spence and Sam have him beat. If you want to be at the pinnacle of fitness, give it a try. It's addicting, as I've watched my husband forgo his buddies for a night at the gym. It's a community of very supportive people who have overcome amazing obstacles. And it's also a group of great people who live everyday lives in a healthy way. Saturdays are free, so check it out. See what you think. Like I said, I'm a yoga girl, but if you like a traditional gym, with kettle bells, and traditional weight bars, running, rowing, hand stand pushups, and burpees, then this is the place for you. Fitness Mecca is calling - are you up for the challenge? I wasn't, but maybe you are!? read more

I'm an affiliate owner and long time CrossFittter and DCC is one of my favorite boxes. If you are visiting Dallas and close - it is a must. If you are visiting Dallas and not close - I'd still try and make it. If you live close you need to try and workout today. Some reason why: - Ownership: It starts and the top and Dean and Spencer are great. They had been in the game a long time and have their gyms for all the right reasons. - Facilities: Giant main floor, larger, separate private training room (with AC!), showers, staffed physical therapy room on site and a cryo therapy room! I alway like to take class when I am dropping in but you can do your own programming in the private room if you want. - Programming: Some of the best I've seen. Very well thought out and creative - not just the same stuff day after day. It's fun and all done for a purpose. I have taken a lot of it back to my own gym. - Coaches: all the coaches are great - helpful for experienced and new athletes. - Community: everyone is super friendly - classic CrossFit community. read more

Dropped in for a visit and the people could not have been any nicer! I felt so welcomed and walking into a new, even for a visit, can feel a little overwhelming and scary. But the members made me feel like I had been coming for months and was one of their own! The coaches were great and knowledgeable! I wish I could have made it back for a second time during my trip to Dallas! I will definitely be back and highly recommend if you are dropping in or looking for a new gym! Thanks for having me CFDC! read more

I've moved around a lot and been to many other CrossFit gyms, but CFDC has been my favorite hands down. Great community, super welcoming and extremely well ran! (Hopefully the other boxes don't read this) read more

Can't say enough good things about this gym. I've been a member of several CrossFit affiliates in the past 5 years and this is one sets the standard. The professionalism, care and quality is unmatched in the fitness space. The culture here is fantastic and the facility is awesome. Take a deep breath and say yes to CFDC. read more

Prior to joining CFDC, I had never done CrossFit. I was nervous about joining because I wasn't sure what to expect. Now, I have been a member for about a year and a half, and absolutely love it! The coaches are knowledgable, helpful, and truly care about improving our lives (physically and mentally). The programs are well structured. Everyone is encouraging and kind, it truly makes me happy to be a part of the CFDC community. I definitely recommend it to anyone that is looking to join or drop in!! read more

Great trainers, challenging WODs, 4 locations in Dallas, classes from 530 am - 730 pm, super friendly community. Moved to Dallas from CLE in Summer 2015 and started at CFDC as it's closest to where I live. Generally go to the Fondren location but have also been to Vickery, which is awesome as well. I signed up for a month and within 2 weeks extended it to an annual membership. 8 months later I have no regrets. It's been a challenging and fun ride, I have gotten better at things which I never thought I could do before - HSPU, Kipping. read more

I've been a member at 5 different Crossfit gyms and this one by and far has the best coaches! They know how to break down movements in a way that feels simple and straightforward. They know when to push you to work harder and when to be supportive. Beyond that, the community is great! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming regardless of your age or experience. If you're. looking for a new Crossfit gym or somewhere to get some one on one functional fitness, this is the place! read more

My husband and I have been member of a box in Plano for a while. We recently bought a home in University Park and have been looking for a new box to attend. My husband reached out to Stephen to inquire about pricing and membership options and he quoted us a price that was significantly higher than what we pay currently. My husband simply asked him what was included in that price (to get a feel for what might differentiated them) and he says "if cost is your issue, this isn't the place for you." Excuse me? That alone would give one pause. But then rushed him off the phone following that and said he would call him back. Never returned the phone call. Not sure why anyone would pay $200 a month for a service that can't even justify its cost and then have the nerve to insult you upon inquiring. No thanks. read more

CFDC is such an amazing gym. The coaches are super attentive, and the community support is beyond anything I've experienced. Class times are flexible, instruction is very specific and helpful to each individual, and the programming is amazing. Crossfit it scalable. It's for anyone and everyone. I never feel as if I'm putting myself in a situation where I might get hurt or injured, and I always leave the gym feeling like I've had an awesome workout. Don't try it just anywhere though, CFDC is the best. read more

The best thing about this box (other than the owners and trainers) are the people that go here. And let's face it, the people are a huge part of what make up the ideal box. read more

Crossfit Central is the place to get in the best shape of your life. To say these folks got me in better shape might be the understatement of the century. I know there are many Crossfit gyms in the DFW area, but Central just has a great variety of class times, informed and approachable instructors, and a great location (just off 75) Like most good things, crossfit will cost you. At around 175 per month, its worth it if you are motivated enough to come 5 days a week. After too much long distance biking, I had a lower back pain which is vanished after my crossfit training. read more

I love this place. Two months and I am officially converted. Crossfit is not for the weak of heart, but if you're willing to work, you won't get better results. I came in pretty fit- I have always been a weightlifter and runner, but I had no idea how much harder I could be working. That first class taught me a LOT about myself, mainly that I could come close to throwing up and passing out, and that I'd actually be okay. :) Crossfit is a mixture of cardio and Olympic weightlifting. You'll do chinups, kettle bell swings, box jumps, sprints, sit ups and all kinds of full-body movements. Including burpees. Lots of them. Don't know what a burpee is? Check out the free Saturday morning 9:30 class. Are you ever in for a treat. ;) I've seen better results in the past two months (4-5 classes per week with running days mixed in) than I have spending similar time at the gym for the past few years. It's kind of incredible. However, if your idea of working hard includes talking on the phone while walking on the treadmill, or reading your kindle while curling weights, this probably isn't for you. I have been a member at Equinox for awhile, and this is pretty much the opposite. Down and dirty and tough. But if you want to work, you won't find better coaches, workouts or classmates. Everyone is super supportive, no matter your level. I get why people call Crossfit a cult. It isn't (duh), but it the progress you'll make combined with the cool people makes it addicting. Check it out! read more

I had never done crossfit or any serious weight training prior to trying out CFDC. I was very pleased with the quality of instructions. Although all crossfit seems to have a cult like following, this gym seems to keep the douche factor low, which I appreciate it. I highly recommend this gym of you are a beginner. There are certainly many high level athletes here as well. Perhaps someday I'll be proficient enough to comment on the quality of instruction if you are a serious crossfit enthusiast. read more

I recommend CFDC to everyone. The coaches here are fantastic - very knowledgable and helpful. I need a lot of modifications to be able to do the WODs and they are always coming up with ways to make sure I get a great workout even with my limitations. The coaches are the reason that this location is welcoming for everyone of all shapes, sizes and abilities. Even if the ripped/fit people running around outside look nothing like you, don't be scared. This gym is still for you. They are very focused on the basic building blocks and proper form in the Elements class, which is great for someone like me. I've tried other gyms, and realized that this is the only place where I am given the tools I need to succeed and better myself. I just need to use them. read more

Got the best weightlifting cue from Whitney! Dean, and Brian were very welcoming. Really knowledgable, and experienced coaching. Well organized. I look forward to visiting again! read more

I started at CFDC about one year ago and couldn't be happier! CFDC has been such a welcoming and encouraging place to work out and learn new skills. The coaches are amazing, the members are friendly, and the programming is great. At CFDC the coaches are committed to transforming lives thru the focus of fitness and wellness. It's seriously the best decision you can make for yourself. read more

This is an awesome gym! We flew in yesterday from Seattle for the 2013 American Open and needed a place to train. This gym opened their doors to competitors for free. Pretty awesome. The gym itself is huge and very well equipped. The staff was super friendly. Best of all, I had been having a problem with my elbow for weeks and was worried about it affecting my performance at the competition. One of the trainers, who is also a chiropractor, pushed the nerve back into place (again, for free) and I am now completely pain-free. He fixed it instantly. I couldn't be more grateful. read more

This place creates by far the most addicting workout I have ever experienced. I decided to try crossfit after a very on again, off again type relationship with my school gym. I figured I could try it out and see how it went, because I had heard good things in the past. After a great free trial class, I decided to sign up for a one month membership. The membership can be a little pricey, especially since going to the gym at school is free, but it motivated me to actually go since I put all the money down up front. So far I have only done their beginner-type classed, the "fitness elements." After a month or so in elements you can move up to their more advanced class, but I have been content in the elements class. They offer this class four times every week day and once on Saturdays. The workout is posted online before the class, so you can check it out and mentally prepare yourself. During the class we warm up with various stretches or exercises that correspond with the workout. When I first came to Dallas Central I had no idea what a dumbell snach or a power clean was. They don't overwhelm you with information - as each thing comes up in the workout its explained to you and eventually you learn all the different exercises for the workouts. Every day is a completely different workout, so you never get bored. You can feel yourself getting stronger every class and its amazing how much more you can do after a month compared to when you started. The motivation is great too - everyone is pushing you to do your best and go one more rep, not putting you down or yelling at you if you can't. This was my problem with boot camp style classes - I don't take well to being put down. In the morning you wake up wanting to go to the crossfit class because regardless of how tough the workout is its fun and everyone in the class is in it together. I'm so glad I started working out here, it's definitely been a much more satisfying experience than just putting more miles on the treadmill. read more

Box was amazing. Visiting from Las Vegas and they made me feel very welcomed and Spencer was a fantastic trainer. I will be traveling here for business and will make this gym my home away from home! read more

Far and away the best Crossfit gym I've been to. Coaches are very knowledgeable, approachable, and professional. Fortunate to have been attending for over 2.5 years and looking forward to many more! read more

Paul Anderson is the best trainer ever!! A very genuine guy!!

Can't love this place any more! Great workouts with intelligent coaches who coach on form and safety. The members are very encouraging and motivating and as someone who just started doing CF, I don't feel at all intimidated. Everyone is at their own pace and as long as you are pushing yourself, it's all good. Definitely try it out if you have ever been Crossfit curious! read more

The trial class at CF Dallas was absolutely fantastic. Brian, Dean and Alex are very amiable and welcoming. I was intimidated in going to a class, but luckily I went with friends to help ease the anxious experience. Everyone appears to be fitness junkies at cross fit gyms. Upon entering, Alex greeted us creating an initial friendly environment. Then the ice was broken with Dean via the class introduction filled with light humor. Laughing makes for a better environment. It was like group therapy and everyone wanted each other to have a pleasant time. Brian's demonstrations of the moves provided model form. He makes everything look too easy! The class was at beginner pace which is nice since half the class is first timers to cross fit. Dean gave real world examples of relating the moves to everyday activity. Now I have to reason with myself in investing $$$ to join. It ain't cheap for good friends! read more
