CrossFit Heat — Local services in Dallas

I love this place! CF Heat has really taken me out of a few 'comfort zones.' First, I started August 2013. I started 'just because' and not really expecting anything. I slacked off for a few months because soon after I started it was winter and there just wasn't any motivation. Then February rolled around and I realized that summer was right around the corner. I finally decided to 'show up' and work. I have never before experienced my body asking to go back for more. Every day when 5:30 PM rolls around my body knows its time to get it! Any time I don't go, my body knows its missing out. Its been nothing short of remarkable. I absolutely love this place simply because my body likes being here. The coaches really put us to work. Second, I've always been rather 'anti-social.' I don't make friends easily unless I've been drinking LOL. Shortly after I started 'showing up,' I realized that the majority of the attendees knew my name! It goes without saying that the coaches also knew my name. So this box took me out of my comfort zone because since people knew my name, I was forced to learn peoples names and talk to them. It's been strange; my body aching to hit and gym and my social skills improving at the same time. Excellent place. I highly...

CrossFit Heat is a superior gym. A strong statement, but one which manifests itself in the owners and coaches who strive not to get paid or train themselves for regionals, but to provide the best experience possible for each of their athletes. If you're looking for a place where coaches barely know your face, much less your name and the staff is more interested in their own goals than your progress then by all means, do not come here. HOWEVER! If you wish to train at a gym where coaches and athletes alike have equal chance to improve and community is fostered constantly, then CrossFit Heat is the place to be.

Lastly and super importantly: HEAT BARBELL CLUB. It is not a weightlifting program coached as part of the CrossFit programming like at many CF gyms, Heat Barbell is coached by a nationally ranked weightlifter who learned the sport of weightlifting from world champions and those who coached them. Jose (weightlifting coach) is a weightlifter who does CrossFit workouts for fun, not the other way around as in most CF gyms. Come to CrossFit Heat if you want to improve, go elsewhere if you want to watch...

I've been to several boxes across Texas. This one is by far the most impressive. For starters, the facility itself is a crossfit "fortress". It has several rooms and levels with some of the best equipment I've seen. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. I felt like apart of the family my first day. Didn't feel judged as a outsider like some other boxes I've been to. Prices are fair considering the market standard and with my firefighter discount it's very affordable for my budget. I was planning on going to a couple of other boxes around Dallas to make sure I found the right place, but I already have. It's Crossfit Heat. This...
