An all new CrossFit Prep Course starts this coming Monday evening, September 8th, at 7:30pm. The Prep Course is your gateway into the community of East Dallas CrossFit. Each course is small in size to give you personal attention.

This course consists of eight one hour sessions over 3 weeks. It’s designed to introduce you to the movements used in CrossFit and transition you safely into our regular classes. Classes are every Monday/Wednesday/Thursday evenings for the first two weeks and Monday/Wednesday for the third week. Times are 7:30-8:30pm. Cost is $150.

A new Prep Course starts every three to four weeks. Reserve your spot HERE.

A Private Prep Course option is also available. This is a 6 class option for those who can’t fit the regular course into their schedule or who would just like some extra attention. Cost is $200 and can be scheduled on your time. Contact us HERE if you would like to schedule the private option.

Since starting his CrossFit journey at EDCF, Justin has always been one to crave knowledge. He has applied himself to our program since day one and is always striving to get better as a coach and athlete. We are proud to announce him as our second newest coach at EDCF. Justin coaches Wednesday evenings so stop by and enjoy one of his classes! A little more from Justin:

“I’m originally from a small gulf coast town in Southeast Texas and moved to Dallas in 2009 for more opportunity with the added bonus of less humidity. I’ve been involved in competitive athletics in some capacity for as long as I can remember and “working out” since starting middle school in the 6th grade. To say that some of the strength and conditioning methodologies I’d been exposed to prior to discovering CrossFit in 2013 weren’t exactly sound would be an understatement to say the least.

Before trying CrossFit, I found myself in the lull of going periodically to a globo gym with just mirrors and earbuds to keep me company; gradually getting bored and falling back on the same workout regiments over and over again. Once I caught word from a few different friends and put in a little research, I knew it was time for a change and signed up for the Prep Course. CrossFit and EDCF specifically, for me, had everything I was looking for in regards to programming, atmosphere and community. I’d been missing the competitive environment with friends to hold me accountable. A laid back, but educational and instructive setting coupled with like-minded individuals all with a common goal.

In May of 2014, I received my CrossFit Level 1 Certificate to further my education and take the next step to continued health, self-improvement and to help others meet their own personal goals.”

EDCF is proud to present the newest addition to our team, Coach Drew. We are excited to add Drew’s knowledge and passion for CrossFit to our EDCF team. Drew will be coaching Thursday evenings to start off so make sure to say hi! A little more about Drew..

I come to Dallas by way of Kentucky, Georgia and North Carolina. In my day life I’m a lawyer, and I recover from those shenanigans at the CrossFit gym.

I stumbled on to CrossFit in 2008 and have been obsessed ever since. In my prior life I was a swimmer who swore I’d never run and then became a runner who refused to swim. I’ve run three marathons, countless half marathons for which I refuse to train (thanks CrossFit!), and one ill-advised triathlon, and conquered a 5K lake swim (never again). In my CrossFit life, I was a regionals qualifying athlete in 2010 and 2011.

I am CrossFit Level I, Power Lifting, Olympic Lifting, and Mobility certified and I have additional training in kettlebells. I have a special interest in helping women get stronger than they ever thought possible and I’ll probably always put more weight on your bar. I absolutely love coaching and finding new ways to help people conquer movements they find challenging.

My outside of CrossFit hobbies include being jealous of my husband’s flexibility, playing with our two adorable dogs (Howie and Lulu), and dreaming of the next time I’m going to visit Africa (my favorite travel destination).
