This is a top-class CrossFit gym. The staff is excellent and highly knowledgeable. All ages and skill levels are welcome, you will be pushed but never beyond your reasonable physical abilities. Staff also takes time to gauge your skill set, potential physical injuries and roadblocks that may impede your success, and work with you succeed. It's a fun place, and easy to make friends while getting fit. Highly recommended. read more

My physician recommended I get on top of some resistance training, and advised me of a crossfit gym in Dripping Springs... I'm new to the whole crossfit thing, and was worried it would be crazy intense 'hit by a mack truck' experience, but these folks are great. Kristen, Brian (owner), and Becky are SUPER supportive with teaching proper form and the right amount of weight to start off with. I'm on my 2nd week, so far three classs under my belt, and I look forward to getting back into the gym with my workout group. I already know a bunch of people and they're super newbie friendly. I'm training for a triathlon at the end of May, and this is going to get me into the best shape of my life I am sure about that. It will also keep my physician happy about getting my BP under control and some other vitals. I read somewhere that we lose about 10% of our muscle every decade... that ends today. Love this place. read more

Amazing! I recently dropped in for a "Hero WOD" on a Saturday morning. Although I am a relatively experienced CrossFitter, I came away from the workout with a ton of useful knowledge thanks to Coach Becky and Bryan. The team at CrossFit Second Wave is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. I believe that people of all experience levels and backgrounds can find a "home" at CrossFit Second Wave that will help them quickly become the best version of themselves both inside and outside the gym. A+! read more

My main concern prior to joining CrossFit was that the emphasis would be on pushing a lot of weight and not on technique, eventually leading to injury. My concerns could not have been more misplaced. Not only does Bryan know his biomechanics and anatomy, he clearly demonstrates proper form for every exercise and then watches and corrects every member throughout the session. As a former competitive athlete, with Bryan's coaching, I have quickly come to realize where I need improvement (proud member of the "Tight Shoulder Club"!!), where my technique has been wrong over the years, and how to start correcting these issues bit by bit to improve strength and function. I'm looking forward to moving in the right direction. Also, don't be intimidated if you've never done CrossFit or have never been a hard core "gym rat." You're in great hands with Bryan, there's a terrific sense of community, and you're supporting a business founded by someone who has served our country. What's not to love? So if you want to workout right and essentially have an experienced and knowledgeable personal trainer for every workout without paying personal trainer prices, come and try!! read more

This is the first CrossFit gym I've joined. I joined because I wanted to work on strength and also agility. I, like most, have always been skeptical about CrossFit in general based off watching some of the movements and feeling like I'd hurt myself eventually. And I can't speak for all CrossFit gyms, but the trainers here focus almost exclusively on your form and mobility. It's not about hitting Personal Records in the beginning, In fact, I was only allowed to use the barbell for squats until my form was perfect. Same with deadlifts. I've lifted for about 20 years and have had what I thought was "normal weight lifting pain", and always had knee support and lifting belt on. But I haven't needed them, nor have I used them, and most importantly I don't get that "normal pain". I didn't think any of this was possible. Also, like I mentioned, I went for strength and agility training, but the other aspect which has helped immensely is the mobility training. I have learned a lot about myofascial release from Bryan and so far any small tweaks I've had, I've been able to address within minutes. Literally. Very supportive group and the Second Wave community is great to be around. Keep it up Second Wave! read more
