The best CrossFit gym I have been too. Ive been at this gym for 2 years now. The coaches: Theyre awesome. They are dedicated to each athlete that comes to work out in helping them improve their fitness. They strive to help each athlete accomplish their goals while keeping everyone safe and effective in each workout. They will never push you away due to any kind of disability or injury, they will adjust the workout for anyone to be able to workout. You will never be pushed to the side. The quality of coaching is at the highest quality. The community: Everyone is super cool. If you like working out with friends this is the place. Everyone for the most part is very social which creates a great atmosphere for working out. We are all there for the same goal. It will never matter how strong you are, you could be lifting 20lbs or 400lbs you will be cheered on just the same. These are some of my favorite peeps to be around and often times is why I show up. We have events often where we can all get together just to hangout outside of just working out. The workouts: Wes does all of his own programming which says a lot about him and about the gym since thats not the easiest thing to do. Its a rare experience to repeat a workout so everyday is a new adventure. Although some workouts are gather than others at the end of each one you feel like you have accomplished something Overall Academy Rex is a great place and I wouldnt trade it for any other gym. You truly get what you pay for.

I absolutely love this place. My wife and I have tried a few different Crossfit gyms in the past and none compare to Academy Rex. A lot of other places will write a random WOD on the whiteboard and leave it at that but Wes (the owner) writes all of his own programming and his expertise really shows. The coaches at this gym not only pay close attention to everyone in the class but work closely with individuals to improve technique, scale weight, or whatever else needs to be done to maintain a safe (but still tough) environment. I cannot stress enough how great the coaches at Academy Rex are and also how organized and clean the place is. They have proper Crossfit equipment that is well maintained and always incredibly organized and accessible. Academy Rex also offers a wide range of class schedules and open gym time to accommodate any schedule. I only take the time to write online reviews for places that I think really deserve them and Academy Rex, without a doubt, deserves every word of praise I could deliver.

I cannot recommend this CrossFit gym highly enough. Ive trained at 3 other CrossFit gyms in the Arlington area (previously belonged to one, two others Ive worked out at b/c friends invited me) and have done drop-ins while traveling and this place is superior to any Ive been to. The coaches at Academy Rex are extremely: knowledgeable, professional, reliable, personable and trustworthy. They truly train you as an individual and not as a "one size fits all." It is very evident the coaches care about the safety and well-being of their clients. The community Rex fosters with their group training and outside activities is also fantastic. Whether its fitness related, like the GoRuck Challenges, or purely social, youll always feel included. Im very grateful to have found this CrossFit gym and would recommend it to anyone looking to better their health and fitness!

Probably the best Crossfit gym Ive ever been too. The coaching staff(yes, there are multiple which is a plus) is knowledgeable and well informed and the owner even writes all of his own programming. I initially visited because of the website and the message they have of "Lift Heavy, Run Fast, Play Hard." Dont let the Crossfit name scare you if you are new to that world. I finally convinced my parents to come(mid 50s) and they love it. Everything can be tailored to the individuals needs, and the staff is great and understanding individual limitations. I highly recommend it.

I started CrossFit in February and I really didnt know what to expect - I had mainly went to regular gyms. The experience has been great. From the first day fellow crossfitters went out of their way to welcome me, coaches spent extra time working with me - focusing on my form and not letting me progress to heavier weights until my form was correct. The WODs are well planned and classes are coached by professionals that focus 100% on the class. You cant find a better gym in my opinion, great coaches - clean gym - and awesome members.

I love this gym and the sense of community found here. Theres such a positive vibe in this place that comes from each person supporting each other to push it to the limit everyday. Before attending I had very little experience in the lifts that are commonly performed here and the trainers did a great job of keeping me safe while I learned the new lifts.

Great gym and community. Coaching staff set high standards for themselves and the members, and are always willing to help with scaling or specific goals. One of the best gyms I have had the pleasure of training at.

Jason Forte

Very friendly environment. If you choose to come regularly, everyone will feel like family. You will be pushed to your limits while being encouraged by the trainers and gym. Any fitness level is welcome.

Greg Benson

Great workouts. Great training. Appreciate the scaling for those of us that need it without holding back those that dont need it. Im mid-50s and getting back in shape!
