Mental Giants CrossFit

Currently looking for a new box to train at (and man, is it hard to find a good crossfit gym!) and wish so badly that I could go back to Mental Giants. This is a great gym with great trainers. Reliable and friendly. It’s unfortunate that we moved over an hour away, otherwise I would make this my gym for life.

Great little gym in Dallas. Very friendly owner and great vibe at the gym. I am new to Xfit and the members were very helpful with the workout.
Con: The gym is tucked away inside and is hard to find through GPS

The Mental Giants owner has put his blood sweat and tears into building his «box» and it shows in his following.
The Box is clean, extremely well equipped and the owner gives personal attention to all of his clientele.
He is also an ex University of North Carolina wrestler and knows what he is teaching. Safety is front and center in his efforts.
If you want a friendly box without the feel of money being the driver this is the place for you.
My wife and I love it

I have been to Mental Giants a couple of times for competitions. Keegan does a great job making you feel welcome. Members are super nice. They have done a great job cleaning up the space.

I have had the pleasure of being a member at multiple crossfit gyms, as I have moved a couple of times. I can honestly say that Mental Giants is very unique and my personal favorite.
Coach Keagen is one incredible guy that is friendly yet pushes you at the same time. The programming is always fantastic. Keagen is keeping to the true crossfit style of training, constantly varied. The community is a strong one at Mental Giants and the people are awesome.
Keagen welcomes athletes of every type and is passionate about seeing everyone improve. I could go on and on about how much I love being a member at Mental Giants but you just have to come experience it for yourself.

I’m in town on business and I wanted to make sure there was a box close to the hotel. Saw D1Fit on Google and gave it a go. Very happy I did.
Came in to the 6am classes and was welcomed warmly. I liked how they have a plan for the whole hour… from the warm-​up to Skill to WOD. It felt like I was getting the absolute most out of my time there.
I also liked how the coaching tips were well thought out and demonstrated… I’ve been at this a while, am a coach myself, and still got a lot out of the coaching.
Good workout, good teammates, and I felt Ben and Keegan’s passion for what they do. Good stuff!

I have been a Crossfit member for a couple of years and recently just moved to a new area of Dallas. I discovered D1 Crossfit from a Groupon that they were offering and with it only being 8 minutes from our new place I had to try. The box (aka gym for any non cross fitter) is new and equipment and coaches are consistently being added. The members are awesome and at all levels of fitness. Some have never done CF before and others have been members of other gyms. The box has a free Saturday WOD (Workout of the Day) at 10am. If you have ever wanted to try CF, then hit up a Saturday, bring water and a good attitude! It’s not easy and if it is easy then you didn’t work hard enough!

I stumbled upon D1Fit because of a Groupon, and it was going to be something a bunch of us girls can do together. First, I fell in love with this Crossfit gym, and then I fell in love with Crossfit.
Keegan Mueller is the owner, and he is a great coach/​trainer. We have classes, but it’s not like a Zumba class or Yoga class where you’re just trying to mimic what the instructor is doing. During the workout, Keegan is actively walking around and giving pointers for improving on posture so you can be most effective with your movement and target the correct muscle groups. He listens if you have any concerns with him or the class in general. He is very open to constructive criticism and aims to provide an excellent service for your money’s worth. He is reflective in his teachings, so he is critical of himself. If he notices he has done something to cause you or anyone a disservice, he will act quickly to mitigate the problem. As a teacher, I have the same attitude towards myself, so I can assure you this is the attitude you want an instructor to have because this means he is constantly trying to improve himself and to keep things fresh.
Also, the community here is great. Everyone is extremely supportive. We are all here to push each other to be better. I’m not going to lie, Crossfit is intense. It is a high intensity workout. The WODs (Workout of the Day) are designed to make you sweat for maximum burn. One thing about Crossfit is you are never doing the same WOD. Your body doesn’t get use to anything, so you are sore all the time, which means your body is getting stronger. I wouldn’t recommend Crossfit to anyone. If you are competitive and like to win, Crossfit is right for you. And if you are competitive, like to win, want good instruction, AND a good community, D1Fit Crossfit is the place for you. So come try it out! :D

Super friendly, team environment. Welcome to all skill levels, suprised to see older kids even welcome. Trainers are highly knowledgable and friendly. Felt comfortable on my first visit even though i have never done Crossfit before. AWESOME workout! killer but do-​able, Loved it.
