Da Factory Training Facility – CrossFit Gym

I never been to any cross fit before so this was the first experience for me. It was a great first experience for sure, the work out was very complete, it had core arms and legs. It consists of gymnastics weights and cardio, and it is a constant high intensity work out so in very little time you accomplish a lot. I read the review of the person before me saying this place did not leave them sore, this person was not doing the workouts right because I went and I was extremely sore the next day. I accomplished things outside my comfort zone like pull ups and push ups and it was mostly because the trainers there are great. I told them it was my first time and they were very attentive to make sure I was doing the exercise right. They took the time to explain things and show each exercise and even explain what it worked out. I will def be coming back here. The only thing I think can get better is the marketing for the place, since is in a warehouse in Doral is kind of hidden and if it wasn’t for my coworker telling me about it I would of never heard of it. Is such a great place it should be advertised more so more people can know about it! I will tell my friends about it and tell them to try it out!

Well here I go… Da Factory is awesome!!! I caught it by a friend’s very good recommendation. At the beginning I was scared of falling & if I could be able to do the first class… let me tell you something guys: yes it is true that the crossfit is hard, is constant, for some people it could seems impossible, and of course it’s not a piece of cake… but «Train hard or Die Trying» and this is what I’ve been learning in Da Factory, «Take your time, keep going and never give up.»
I also recommend this place for those people who does not like the boring routine of almost the gym and you do not have to be in any competition to be «William Levy» or «JLo»… The trainers and the partners are all attentative, friendly and very helpful people.
This is the best that could ever happened me at the end of this year, thanks to my friend.

I really cant speak highly enough about my experience at Da Factory. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They focus on safety first, and they emphasize to push yourself, but not past your capabilities, and work with you to regress every workout. And more important for me, all the members were extremely supportive and welcoming, I felt part of the team during my first session. The comradery feel and environment are really what set this gym apart. I highly recommend it to everyone.

I have been going to Da Factory for 3 years and 3 months now. It all started as a «hey, why don’t you check this place out…» and I did. I was never the athletic type. Yeah I took some spinning classes here and there, but then I took my first CrossFit class, and wow. I thought I would never get through it, but noticed how even the most high skilled movement could be regressed to fit my skill at the time. Between the coaches who were always willing to help and the results I started seeing, I instantly became hooked. I went from being a 3 – 4 times a week attendee to spending some extra time after classes to work on rope climbs, pullups, etc. The great part about it was that not only were coaches always available to help, the more advanced athletes were willing to give a few pointers as well. Before you know it I began taking the advanced class and started on the specialized programming. I went from working out 3 times a week to competing 8 times in one year. None of which would be possible without the coaches and the environment. Late last year, I decided to take the next big step and become a coach. With their help I was able to begin the path of becoming the coach I admired so much.
I have been coaching for 9 months now. And I have never regretted the decision. I work a salary job, so coaching is something I do for the love of CrosFit, but more so, for the love of this facility. I choose to work here, and am not obligated to. I wish I could put into words what this facility, what the staff, and what the owners mean to the overall environment and morale, but no words would be good enough. However, being a member since May 2011, with the million of locations by my house and by job can speak for itself.

I came in on a group-​on and I have stayed for a year. Best investment in myself I have ever made. I rated this 4 stars so they wouldn’t filter it ;)
anyway when you ready to pull the trigger and jump into this new sport called CROSSFIT this is the place to do it, I drive bye 9 other gyms on my way here every day

CrossFit at Da Factory is for people of all ages, skills, and fitness levels. When I first started my CrossFit journey I was overweight and not motivated. At first I was hesitant working out in a group setting, since I was out of shape and had not done any real exercise in quite some time and to be honest, I did not want to look bad. I met with the head trainer which explained to me the basics and I was on my way. I remember my first workout as if it was yesterday. That feeling of utter exhaustion was something that I had not felt in a very long time. My trainers and the group that we worked out with that day pushed me to a place where I never thought my body could go, that was when I knew that this place was for me. People say that results do the talking so I will share some of my progress. In one year I have lost over 40+ lbs, lost 15% body fat, 8″ off my waist, and am at the best shape in my life. None of this could have happened without the hard work and dedication from the trainers at Da Factory. The trainers would stay after their shifts on their personal time to work with me on different skills and teach me about nutrition and countless other things. I have worked out at several gyms and CrossFits, but none compare to Da Factory. I would recommend this to anyone and hope that other people can experience the changes that I have.

Before becoming a member to any Crossfit, I recommend you to go to their Crossfit website and look at their daily workout routines and compare them with other Crossfit’s WODs (work out of the day) in the area. If you want a workout that is going to leave you crawling back to your car, Da Factory Crossfit is not for you. I have done other crossfits and have walked out of their place physically exhausted that I was not able to raise my arms; Da Factory never left me with that feeling.
If you YouTube Da Factory Crossfit you will see some of the routines crossfit gyms use. Sadly, most of the workouts Da Factory shows you are not done by their regular crossfit members; these workouts, which are separate from your regular crossfit membership, are for their team performance members.
The majority of the time spent at Da Factory is talking. The rest, is spent doing a warm-​up routine and brushing up on a skill with a PVC pipe. Da Factory insists on familiarizing different skills each day. I understand this is useful in order to prevent injuries when performing each workout, but it is not necessary when it is not even part of the workout for the day. You do not expect to be holding a PVC pipe for 15 mins when you are paying $ 125 a month to workout. If they want to teach us how to do a proper lift they should do so before the routine. After all the skill talk and warm-​up, there was less than twenty minutes for the actual workout. One of their workouts lasted only 12 minutes.
I would not recommend checking out this facility with a Goupon. As a Groupon member, I was treated differently than the regular paying members. They made me feel like I was trying to milk them for it’s worth when I questioned one of the coaches about the terms on the voucher. Groupon members are stripped of their right to register for classes online and only full paying members have priority. Requests for classes were made through a coach and depending on availability, I was notified whether I had been placed in a class or not. Sometimes they forgot to e-​mail me to confirm my class registration.
I have decided to give Da Factory 2 stars and not 1 because of two of their coaches. They were passionate and genuinely interested in teaching me; they made sure I was working out properly.
I think Da Factory has a lot of potential but first they need to treat everyone equally (this goes for giving everyone the same work out and allowing your Groupon members to choose their own classes online). They also have to kick their workouts up a notch and stop boring people to death with the daily skill talk when it is not part the WOD. Have the talk once a week and get back to what crossfit is supposed to be – bringing people to their knees and within inches of throwing up.

Purchased a one month unlimited Crossfit training from Groupon for $ 29.
Classes are registered online; however, «as Groupon members, [I] did not have the right to register for [my] own classes.» The coach had cancelled all of my classes that I had registered online and my account was revoked. He addressed that «class availability is first given to fully paying members.» I had to make my requests at the end of each week through one of the coaches, which gave time to fully paying members in selecting their classes first. I have been placed on a waiting list many times and had to contact the coaches the day of the class to see if my requests have been granted because they have forgotten to notify me, on many occasions, whether the classes were available or not. This routine has become a tedious process which should of been stated on the Groupon voucher. Their act is unfair towards those who have purchased a Groupon to simply try out their facility.
This is synonymous where a customer presents a coupon for his groceries only to find that his discount applies to yesterday’s bakery goods; he is restricted because of a coupon similar to that I am restricted from scheduling my classes because I have a Groupon. And only customers who pay full price can receive the fresh bakery goods.
I do not mind the lifts, squats, and challenges that I get myself in, but I refuse to partake in this hurdle.

The staff was verry helpfull and informative, great communication and amazing atmosphere. Its a difficult class but worth the sacrifice.
