I have attended various crossfit boxes and gyms across the country and D1Fit has by far been my favorite. One of the main issues I have seen is that even though boxes are filled with very talented athletes and skilled trainers, the coaches lack the ability to teach and develop athletes. This is certainly not the case at D1Fit. Keegan (owner) and Ben (coach) take the time to teach athletes correct movements and reinforce techniques daily. They do an excellent job exuding patience, in conjunction with having a genuine interest in clients, making it easy for them to train beginning crossfitters to competing athletes. This is what truly separates these coaches from the rest. Further, I have noticed an outstanding community at this box. Keegan is able to bring in clients from all different skill-levels and backgrounds, making the overall culture very welcoming. No athlete feels uncomfortable given their respective experience and/or fitness level. Keegan and Ben promote scaling work-outs to prevent injuries, yet provide positive reinforcement and motivation to improve fitness and reasonably push athletes. As well, the box hosts many social events, such was watching football games, barbecues, etc, which supports the friendly and welcoming culture of the gym.

Choose this box if you want a coach who will push you hard while insisting you maintain perfect form (no injuries allowed!) and if you want to train with awesome people. The owner, Keegan, prioritizes the community, and the people hes brought in are wonderful - theyll keep you coming back even when you are sore! I came across this box when I was looking for a new workout experience. Ive been a gym rat for years and am totally bored with exercising by myself. I was concerned since crossfit has a rep for being super intense, and I am a 30-something year old woman with a desk job. Plus, Ive never been an athlete. The genes just arent there. There are athletes at this box who are doing amazing things, so if you want that inspiration, it is here in spades. But theres also a place for those of us who want to make our more-normal bodies the best they can be. Keegan will encourage you to push yourself past what you think you can do, but not to the point of injuring yourself. I am actually enjoying the challenge and I am gaining confidence as I am doing exercises I thought were beyond me. And did I mention the people are great?

Exceptionally friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere make this not only a great crossfit box, but a wonderful place to exercise in general! They care about your personal fitness goals. In my case they made accommodations for me by letting me train my own routine using their equipment prior to the WOD. They also showed genuine interest in my fitness, and let me join in for their class afterwards and gave some great coaching advice. I noticed they gave equal attention to all of their clients, adjusting exercises so everyone could benefit from the class. Even though my attendance was brief, I could tell they foster a very supportive community among their clients, and everyone was very friendly.

Ive been at this box for about 4 months and love it. After years of gyms and trainers (and thousands of $$ there) Im stunned at how quickly my shape has changed in 4 short months at D1Fit. And, thats 4 months following about a 2-year period of not working out (At all. Not even a little bit.) The BEST part though is their tagline "Mental Giants." Its a core value in the way Coaches Keegan and Ben encourage you throughout the WOD. Yeah, its awesome fitting into my skinny jeans again, but its better having an increased mental toughness that started at D1Fit and now extends to other areas of my life. I am tougher than I thought I was, and I can thank Coaches Keegan and Ben for helping me see it!

I joined this gym in mid-January, and its been a perfect fit. Ive never really enjoyed going to gyms, the meat-heads are a real annoyance. D1Fit is completely different, though. It has all different levels of fitness, all working out together, and with a real sense of teamwork. Hey, they took me in, which is saying something... I wont tell you the workouts are easy (they never are), but I can tell you its worth it. Im in the best shape of my life, I feel great, and I have a bunch of new friends! In fact, my wife just signed up, too! Keegan, Ben, and Ellie are great coaches. Super encouraging, and very motivating (read, theyll push you in a healthy way). Highly recommended!

Quick shoutout to my coach for just winning first place at World War Fit - RX division. Keagen is a beast and an awesome coach. You can trust he will challenge you but ensure you are staying safe with your form and technique. Also, the people here have become more than a team to me, they are now great friends. After being here a year, my loyalty lies with Keagen and our team at Mental Giants. If you are looking for a legit and awesome CrossFit box? Then come check this one out! P.s. My wife loves it here too and once we have our little girl, she will be back!

This was my first time ever experiencing CrossFit and I couldnt have chosen a better place to do it. Keegan knows how to motivate you to do the best you can, further than you ever thought you could go. He worked with me to get my technique right on all the different exercises and i could just tell he knew so much. And more importantly he cared about me getting it right. The people in there made me feel right at home and the environment in there made me want to go as hard as i could. All around an awesome place, i love it and will for sure be back

D1Fit Crossfit is a great place to come work out. Keegan the owner is extremely nice and knowledgable in working out and weight lifting. The gym is always practicing crossfit skills and getting better everyday. The gym is also good for people new to crossfit, the coaches will work with you on your weaknesses and help you achieve any fitness goals you have. Also crossfit is a community of people helping one another and keeping eachother encouraged. D1 is a great example of that!

Mental Giants Crossfit is the best crossfit box! All the people are friendly and everyone, especially the coaches encourage you to put forth your best effort. Keegan, the head coach not only focuses on helping members exceed their goals but also on building as a community. They have recently added a yoga class, at no additional cost, taught by a certified yoga instructor which makes MGCF stand out from every other box. If I could, I would give Mental Giants Crossfit 6 stars.

D1 is a top tier box in DFW. Keegan is an experienced CF coach who cares about the development of his athletes and the well being of his community. He competed at a high level as a collegiate athlete and knows what it takes to reach goals. He can help help you not only meet, but exceed your own expectations. I have been to a lot of boxes and never have had a coach want to invest in my development quite like Keegan. Thank for all your help and keep up the great work!

Best CrossFit environment you could ask for. I will never workout anywhere else. The environment is so encouraging and upbeat, and not in the annoying way. Keegan is so encouraging and pushes you just enough, and always makes sure everyone is getting the right technique and not hurting themselves. D1 accomodates all levels and provides growth from wherever your starting point may be. Try it! Saturdays have orientation and are free.
