CrossFit Dwala is amazing! Anne Marie and I started CrossFit in April/May of 2012 at CrossFit Warrenville (CFW). We loved what we found there in the Community. I have struggled with my weight since college. Before CFW, I found myself at the gym at 4:30 am every morning. I would do anywhere from 1-1.5 hours cardio on some machine followed by 30-60 minutes of heavy lifting. I got strong and lost weight, but for the 1-2.5 hours I was at the gym I said nothing, even though I saw the same folks every day. I did this for years. When we found CFW, it was great, but then we moved and we had to find a new home. We had tried a few different places over the years while visiting family, but none of them were really right for us. While searching the affiliate finder page, I came across CrossFit Dwala (CFD), which had not opened yet. I called the number and an enthusiastic young man answered. His name was Jake. He said they were still getting ready to open and were very close. We talked a while and he told me he was thinking he would open December 19th or 20th, but decided on the 20th for special reasons. I came in and got destroyed by a scaled The Chief… Since then, I have braved many new things, such as, coaching (at CFD and my kid’s soccer team), competing in my first powerlifting meet, multiple team CF competitions, and one individual CF competitions. I think I have become a better parent and person in general showing more patience and willingness to get out of my comfort zone. I love my Dwala and CFW family and want to say thank you for talking to me at the gym. Over the past year, Jake’s Programming, Dwala’s healthy competition, and the strong community has led to strength gains too. My favorites have been 505 x 3 deadlift, 400 x 1 front squat, and snatching 205. I am still working on cleaning 300 and I suspect I am due for some interesting numbers on Jerk. Thank you Dwala Family!

i dont right reviews but i love this place that much. i have been going to class now for a few months and i have never felt better. my life style has always been more active then most. i mountain bike, run OCR for fun, played football in HS, spent an average amount of time in the gym BUT i love food above all so i am a big guy (250+). being heavy, i was always afraid of crossfit for fear of blowing out my joints. my wife had taken classes off and on and talked me into trying it. the Dwala team is awesome. i felt welcomed right from the start not knowing anything about CF and not even being able to complete a few of the movements. the couches and even the more advanced crossfitters are extremely helpful and knowledgeable about body movement and proper form and allowing everyone of any level to work within their realm. my wife broke her arm mountain biking and was back in CF 10 days later doing a customized workout that Corynne helped her with. just in the few months i have been there, i feel better, i look better, im stronger, my mountain biking and OCR has improved, im doing things in the gym i would have never imagined myself doing. i weld all day and have a 3rd child on the way so sometimes after work i just want to go home and skip a workout, but this place feels like family and its a place you want to be no matter how "awful" the workout is. its all smiles and laughs. my 12 year old has been a great soccer player for many years. she has been taking the youth class at Dwala for a few months and it shows on the field this season as she is one of the top players on an undefeated team. i couldnt be happier to have found this team. i honestly feel like my life has taken a dramatic leap towards better health and evn more happiness thanks to Crossfit Dwala

The team at Crossfit DWALA are the best. They absolutely know their stuff and make sure you exceed your goals safely without doing something to hurt yourself. The facility and equipment is always clean and organized and it has a family feel. The classes have a mix of young and old, beginners and advanced members. There are no big attitudes and everyone encourages each other. So why Crossfit DWALA? I needed a workout that would help me with my Jiu Jitsu and Krav Maga training as well as my Obstacle racing....so I stopped in to see what this Crossfit thing was all about. Jake talked to me for a good 45 min explaining exactly how the program works, what they do and do not do in workouts and what kind of results I should expect to see. Unlike Globogyms,,,there was no pressure to sign a contract or get "special" training. He said he would let me try a few classes at no cost to see what I thought....at the end of the first class I signed up and couldnt be more happy. It also doesnt hurt that world class crossfit athletes have dropped in to workout . At 45 I am in better and stronger shape now than I was in my 30s. It has absolutely helped with my other sports, I feel better and its a great stress reliever. Spend 5 min talking to the Crossfit DWALA team and i know you will agree they rock like skinny Elvis.

When I stepped through the doors of Crossfit Dwala I did not have any intention of joining, as I was there to bring my 14 year old son for his on-ramping class. I had already been a member of another group fitness program and was not looking. The owner Jake Francis said, "Dad, would you like to work out with your son?" To which I look at Josh and he said come on Dad. so, I did. I had a previous experience at another Crossfit East Cobb BOX a few years ago and it just didnt hook me, so it was not something I was interested in, or so I thought. During their 5 Class On-Ramp, Anne Marie Morris took her time showing Josh and I proper form and made our Mini WODs Fun. Over the past 2 months Josh and I have become hooked. Jake is AWESOME!, The Coaches are AWESOME and the people who are members of the box are AWESOME TOO! If you are looking for a Crossfit in East Cobb or a Crossfit in Roswell, you owe it to yourself to check out Crossfit Dwala.

Dwala offers it all! Top rate WOD programming, systematic approach to strength training, mobility classes, ROMWODs, nutritional coaching and classes and products. The coaches are vigilant on form to not only prevent injury but encourage performance. Equipment is constantly updated and inventory is always being added. Fantastic community-everyone is welcomed and encouraged. Owners Jake and Corynne will even hold your babies so you can finish a WOD! Leave your headphones at home and put on some proper kicks, and come join in the fun!

Jake & Corynne, along with all of the other coaches, are so inviting. Prior to beginning Crossfit, I was nervous about how well I would do, but they made me feel so comfortable. If you are in any way, shape or form hesitant, then try it! It has truly been such a great experience. You will be guaranteed an intense workout, great results & a supportive team that will encourage & direct you through the process.
