CrossFit BYOB

I have lost 30+ pounds since starting CrossFit at CrossFit BYOB the day after I turned 40 in 2014. It would be even higher if I could be more consistent with diet. Like others I was apprehensive about CrossFit: I don’t like exercise very much, I started in really poor shape, and I was afraid of hurting myself. At the same time I liked what I read with respect to the time-​efficient nature of CrossFit workouts: they’re intense, they’re effective, and they’re short. If you do your best at CrossFit 3 – 4 times a week, combined with good rest and diet you will get in better shape. There is no way around it. And it will happen fast. I’m amazed at the gains I’ve made in fitness since starting. Kevin has been a great coach, too — he pushes me but not to the point of injury and is careful to scale exercises and movements to a place where I am able to do them successfully. I’ve observed gradual improvements in range of motion and reduction in non-​athletic pain (you are always gonna be sore doing CrossFit, get used to it) that I didn’t expect to get. Overall I am very happy that I took a chance on CrossFit at CrossFit BYOB.

i was very apprehensive starting crossfit, when you see the WOD on the board and have nooooo clue what anything means, you feel like a fish out of water. BUT amber & kevin are AMAZING — they are the type of coach’s everyone should have.
they are both incredibly knowledgeable and personable, making rookies feel right at home. they push you, but not overly so, to where you feel intimidated.
i have been doing crossfit for almost 4 months now at BYOB and am HOOKED. looking forward to the YEARS to come…

CrossfitBYOB is amazing! My husband and I had heard great things about crossfit and had been wanting to try it out. We were finally brave enough to give it a try. The moment you walk in the door you feel like you are a part of their crossfit family! Great community and excellent coaches. We are still in our foundations classes and Amber is so great and teaching proper form and making sure you are doing it right. I will admit this has been one of the most challenging yet rewarding things I have done for my health. Thankful for these people and for the encouragement.

Friendly people, energetic people making getting and staying fit a daily adventure. Over the years I have worked out and participated in many fitness gyms and programs. Kevin and the BYOB Crossfitters are among the best!
They have created an environment that impacts all that participate.
The question is why are you not joining Crossfit BYOB?

If you’re looking for a great workout experience, come check out CrossFit BYOB. No matter your age, size or fitness level, coaches Kevin and Amber will scale all workouts to your capabilities. They truly care about your fitness goals and want to see you improve and get stronger each day. From the moment you walk in the door, you will be made to feel welcome and part of the great community that CrossFit is. CrossFit BYOB makes working out both challenging and fun at the same time, and that will keep you coming back day after day.

These people were awesome!
I’ve been doing crossfit for about two years now and I dropped in for their Thanksgiving Holiday WOD (have to earn that turkey!). As soon as I walked through the door everyone was all smiles and introducing themselves — and then immediately pushing me to do my best during the WOD! If you have never done crossfit or are a veteran at it, this is exactly what the community is all about; welcoming you in and then keeping you motivated throughout the workout.
The coaches and facility were amazing. Kevin and Amber went through each of the movements prior to the workout and then went around and made sure everyone was comfortable with the exercises and their selected weight. They were very knowledgeable and made sure to walk around and actually ‘coach’ throughout the workout. This was great to see.
In short, awesome facility, knowledgeable and experienced coaches, and an amazing and motivational atmosphere. I’ll definitely be dropping in again when I’m back in town.

I am from Houston and dropped into Crossfit BYOB over the Thanksgiving holidays to work off some of the turkey that was consumed :). Dropping into a new box can sometimes be a bit intimidating but everyone was so welcoming. In the first five minutes of walking into the beautiful space everyone was introducing themselves and making me feel apart of their community. it was clear that they are a tight community that was happy to see some new faces.
The coaching staff is awesome. Kevin and Amber were great! They are extremely knowledgeable in mobility and movement. It was apparent that they care for their athletes.
This gym is a great gym for all levels and ages! I will definitely be dropping in again when I head back to Dallas.

I’ve been an active CrossFitter for 2 + years and I’ve been to many different CrossFit boxes: Valley CrossFit, CrossFit Montclair, CrossFit Miami Beach, CrossFit 5^th Avenue, CrossFit Sherman Oaks, CrossFit Plano (now out of business), to name a few. There are so many different CrossFit boxes in any given area it can be hard to choose which one to join. There has also been a lot of recent articles proclaiming the «dangers» of CrossFit. So let me tell you all the reasons why CrossFit BYOB is a 5 star CrossFit gym:
1. The coaching and programming — Kevin Hickey (Head Coach and Co-​Owner) makes sure that our programming is well rounded. He wants his athletes to be strong, have good endurance and good mobility. Thus his daily workouts (WODs) always have a strength component, skill work and a metcon/​aerobic conditioning. While there is the usual variety of movements, the programming is not random and haphazard. He has a goal in mind and that is reflected in his programming. One month it might be working on our 1 rep max dead lift, for another 2 months the programming will involve movements to help us with our Olympic lifts, or even endurance (burpees and rowing!)
2. The community — Community is a big part of CrossFit and the group of people at CrossFit BYOB really represents well. Everyone will always say «hi» to the newest members and make sure they know your name. (OK that sounds like Cheers, whatever it’s the truth). My husband and I went to CrossFit Miami Beach last month and neither the Coach nor any of the 25+ people in the morning class that we went to introduced themselves or said «hello», CrossFit BYOB is not like that.
3. The facility — new, clean, great equipment, showers and a very convenient location.
So if you are looking for a great place to get fit and strong, with a great group of people then I highly recommend CrossFit BYOB.
