CrossFit Alpha 1 Athlete

This place is AWESOME! I have learned so much about myself in the year and a halfish I have been with A1A. I can do so many things I never thought I could do before. The coaches are amazing and the community is fantastic! I have met some of the best people I know here!

I am a female, 47 years, a little over weight. I purchased Groupon classes for this Crossfit Alpha 1 Athlete to get fit and lose weight. I speak with the owner, in person, and he questions me if I researched what crossfit was. He questions me in a way that I had no business being in there. At my first class, warming up i fall during one of the exercises. The owner laughs at me very rudely. Even though I didn’t show it, his rude gestures made me feel like I was worthless. The owner is the reason I don’t go there any more. Very rude owner! The business does not have air conditioning in the summer time. Very uncomfortable.

I absolutely love this box. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and encouraging. Great community. Enjoying getting stronger every day!

I love this box! This is the first CrossFit gym that I have ever attended & to say that I was a little nervous would be an understatement! I have never really worked out or played any sports so this was something completely new for me. From the first class that I took I was blown away at how nice, encouraging, and helpful the coaches are. I have accomplished goals & done things that I never would have imagined that I could do. The sense of community is really great with all the members & coaches too!

I LOVE THIS BOX!!!
April 2013 I was the typical late 20s suburban male. I was athletic in high school, played sports for fun in college, pick up basketball here and there after and then got caught up in work, family, etc and spent most of my down time on the couch. I wasn’t really overweight, just really out of shape and living an unhealthy lifestyle. That month I started the Beta program at Alpha 1 which slowly prepared me as I learned the movements (if its not perfect, its not Alpha) and slowly began to build my strength and cardio.
Fast forward to a year later, I’m competing in local CrossFit competitions, I’m healthier, stronger, faster, and feel better than I ever have, even at the peak of my athletic career in my teens and early 20s. The coaches at A1A push me everyday to be my best that day and to give it everything I have and walk out knowing that I’m better than when I walked in (more sore also).
If you are considering CrossFit or just considering getting off the couch and trying something, give A1A a try. The CrossFit lite program is a great place to build a base of fitness and learn the basics, then you can stay there or jump into the regular classes as you progress.
You will not find better coaches that are more committed to you reaching your personal goals than the ones at Alpha 1.

Great place loads of space and Awesome staff. From day one you will feel at home and part of the family not bad considering you are working out and becoming awesome. Be prepared to buy a new belt cause your old one will be to big.

I did my research on the CrossFit gyms in my area before choosing Alpha 1. I made the best decision! I’ve been going for a little over 4 months now and continue to be impressed with the coaches and members. I’ve recommended the place to several friends who have also joined up and love it. The encouragement and guidance that the coaches and members give is second to none.
No matter what level of fitness you are at, this box can get you where you want to be. They have programs for the advanced and the beginners… even kids!
I love this place!!!

I am in town from Houston for a conference this week and needed a box to drop-​in to. I called around to a couple of places and this was the only one who had an actual person answer the phone (yay!) I talked to the gentleman and asked if they accepted drop-​ins (some boxes don’t) and he said yes and was very friendly. I told him I wanted to drop in at 4:30 today and he sounded happy to have me and said definitely come by and to just make sure to fill out their online waiver. I got here around 4:10 and waited in my truck for about 5 minutes then got out to go inside and fill out any other paperwork/​pay for my drop-​in. The doors were locked so I sat down on the curb until 4:45, two members were also sitting down with me. We all ended up leaving and the coach was still not there. I was excited to try this box and now I’ve missed a day of training. Not impressed.

This gym has very knowledgeable staff which will help you reach your goals. No matter what they may be!
Rod is a CrossFit veteran and probably one of the first people to introduce this great sport to DFW.
I started about 1 year ago @ 163 lb. Under Rod’s coaching I’m now lean and mean 195 lb.
I feel great and always feel bad when I miss a class!
CrossFit Alpha 1 Athlete has great new large facility with brand new equipment.
I tried few other gyms and this is definitely the best one!!!
