CrossFit Tucker — Local services in Tucker

Dear Reviewer,

My wife and I started at CrossFit Tucker (aka) CFT in December 2012 - present. It was my wife's suggestion to try CrossFit. We were getting tired of doing home workouts and wanted to give CrossFit a shot.

We looked for places around our house and found CFT. My first interaction with Luke was over the phone. He is a good communicator was very courteous addressed me respectfully and invited us to come and try CFT no obligations. We met Luke in person the following day and really liked his honest and frank attitude and really felt comfortable. At no point Luke ever tried to pressure us to join CFT. He actually encouraged us to look around other CrossFit places in the area.

In addition, Luke mentioned his expectations very clearly that he is passionate on helping people improve and help individuals achieve their fitness goals. He mentioned that if you are not serious about your health than I have no incentive to be serious about your health and well-being. Luke takes great pride in teaching, coaching and helping people overcome challenges. This was very clear from the day we started. Luke has a military background so he is very disciplined and is very straight forward in his thoughts. He will not beat around the bush and will clear communicate his expectation.

Before starting our work out he explained clearly on how the workouts are structured, what to expect, aligned the workout based on individual level of experience and explained things very clearly. Luke is great at quickly identifying areas of improvement and suggests ideas and techniques to address the same.

Fast Forward two years and we are still working out with Luke. Luke is practically family. Luke continues to help us and make us better athletes. I did read some negative reviews on the site and it’s simply sad to see people leave such unfounded reviews and completely bash and establishment such as CFT. CFT is awesome.

The people here our awesome and Luke is the best coach hands down. If you want to constantly improve and keep challenging yourself and grow. CFT is the place where you will thrive. If you want to chit chat and goof around this is not the...

Please seriously re-consider if you are thinking about going to this gym as I did not have a good experience and this comment is based on my experience at the gym. I totally agree with the other reviewer in that the owner, Luke Davis definitely have anger management issues. Myself along with other gym members have discussed on several occasions how Luke can be extremely mean and rude and can does not do a good job explaining the work out, all the while I would be the one taking up for him!!! When I asked questions or did not get the workout according to how fast Luke felt I should, Luke would be rude or disrespectful. Additionally, I have observed with other female members that Luke will definitely focus more on the men during the work outs.

I was going to the gym for a whole year faithfully, when I was told by Luke not to come back after I left the gym 6 minutes early in front of the entire gym. He told me that I was not committed and should not come back. When I emailed him about how I was embarrassed and saddened at how I was treated, he did not take any responsibility for his actions but instead told me that I am not committed because I only come 3 days a week instead of 4 days and that my priorities in life are questionable due to me wanting to get to work on time but can not stay for the complete work out or get to the gym on time. He did not care that someone who faithfully we paid good money for a year was leaving. He often says that crossfit is expensive and he provides the best deal, but what is wrong with showing respect to people and providing good customer service? Additionally, $120.00 to $150.00 a month is not cheap although some may feel that it is.

I stayed for the year due to the connections and friends I made, and, I bit my tongue several times when he is constantly rude. There are several gyms in the area that are better. The other trainers are great, and if you go to the evening classes you should be fine. But trust me when I say that Luke Davis is bad news. If you have another gym in mind, I suggest you go there. Hopefully the Luke Davis can get some personality adjustments and your...

I joined Crossfit Tucker about two months ago and have been very pleased. From my initial contact with the owner Luke I was told that I'd have to commit to at least 3-4 days per week in order for it to be worth my time and money. Luke explains this up front so that you don't have unrealistic expectations of what's required to benefit from Crossfit. I live far from the Crossfit Tucker, but work down the street from it. I normally would only come to the office three times a week and work from home the rest. When I began Crossfit I started three days a week, the same days I came into the office. However, Luke said that he really wanted me to do four days a week, so I've given up one of my work from home days and now come into the office four days a week so that I can do Crossfit four days. I referred a friend to Crossfit Tucker, but she could only commit to 1-2 days per week. Luke explained to her that Crosffit Tucker would not be the best place for her and her feeling were hurt, but I explained to her that he does not want to waste anyone's time or money because they would not benefit from 1 or 2 days per week and he tells this to everyone. If you're not going to be committed to doing at least 3-4 days a week then no, I would say Crossfit Tucker is not for you. But, if you will be committed then it's a great place to workout. Also, as a woman I can say that Luke does not focus solely on the men. As a newbie I feel like he actually focuses more on those that are newer to make sure we're doing things correctly, however, I see him interacting with everyone and gives feedback to everybody. He has a great attitude and I've seen him be nothing but pleasant...
