Dalton’s Crossfit

I’ve gone to 3 – 4 different area CF gyms on and off for the last couple of years. I have to say, this one is my favorite.
I’ve worked primarily with Josh and Gregg. Both of them are fantastic coaches. I recently also started having workouts with John. I gotta say, John will really push you and encourage you. I’m more sore after his classes than usual, so when I see him I’m super pumped but also a little nervous hahahaha. He has a ton of energy and makes you feel really proud of yourself.
The coaches here is what makes this place stand out. They’re all amazing and put everything they have into helping you get the most out of your workout.
The one thing I will say this place has over any other gym in the area is the level of encouragement and personalized attention. They watch all of us and make their rounds, correcting your form to prevent injury, giving tips, and encouraging you to give it all you got. Other places I was often worried about injury as I felt the coaches were distracted or busy doing other things.
I had been doing crossfit for I over a year and also had knee pain. Not one coach ever took the time to figure out my knee pain. My very first class with Josh, he had me do some special stretches and asked me to tell him when my knees hurt. He figured out the problem in 5 minutes and gave me some special stretches. NO MORE KNEE PAIN (as long as I do those stretches)!
Thanks to all the coaches here I am genuinely excited to go workout, which I’ve never been able to say before.

I’ve been going to Dalton’s CF for about two years now. I’ve played sports from youth through college and this is the first time in my life that I am genuinely excited to go work out. They have done a terrific job of creating a fun and encouraging environment. The box is spacious and has top of the line equipment. The trainers here are fantastic; every one of them. Josh has been working me through a hamstring injury (not caused by crossfit) and has done a fantastic job of encouraging me and scaling workouts for me. This attention and care has been really great. These trainers know what they are talking about and, if you listen to them, you will see results.
I’m 25 years old, 6’0″ and when I first started, I weighed 175lbs. I lost 20lbs in my first eight weeks and have since put on 15lbs of muscle. If you are looking for a fun way to lose weight, maintain a healthy lifestyle, meet new people and have fun this is the place.

I grew up in Claremont, and have been a member at Crossfit DC for a little over a year now. When I come home from the East Coast to visit family, I always make it a point to drop into Dalton’s Crossfit. I checked out Dalton’s about a year ago because a good friend of mine was a member there for a while and highly recommended it. He was right! I travel quite a bit and have been able to try out different boxes all over the country. Dalton’s stands out for a few reasons.
1) Programming/​Coaching: Their WODs are challenging, and like many others have stated, these WODs are scalable for all levels. They are consistently challenging, and the coaches (no matter who) pay very close attention to form to prevent injuries. Also, I really like how they post the WOD for the whole week. Gregg, Josh, and the rest of the coaches are very committed to the gym and have a regular presence there. They’re all very positive and provide great tips on improving while also monitoring you for safety and making sure you are maximizing your potential.
2) Facility/​Equipment: This might be a product of me being a member at a box in an urban environment and visiting other urban boxes, but I love the space at Dalton’s. No matter how big the class is, you’re able to have your own bar and do the WOD at weight/​intensity level. Every time I come back it seems like Gregg is doing something better with the space! They also have pretty extensive space around the building for running and other supplementary type workouts.
3) Extra Programs: If I were a member of this box permanently, I would definitely participate in some of these programs. They run Weight-​Loss challenge type programs along with others along those lines and it helps to keep their members accountable outside of the gym. It’s a great motivator! Wish my box in DC had a similar program that was open to all members like Dalton’s does.
I’ve gotten some of my family members to join Dalton’s Crossfit and they are enjoying it as well. They do supplement it with The Claremont Club, but that’s only for when their schedules don’t allow them to get into Dalton’s for a class time. They’ve seen great results in only a couple months time! Highly recommend!

I travel frequently and visit a lot of CrossFit boxes– this is truly one of the best!
I moved and committed to Dalton’s and have been going for a few weeks now and am really impressed with this box. WODs are scaleable to all levels of fitness and the coaches are extremely approachable and accessible. The box is not pretentious at all.
Dalton’s also has an app for the iPhone which is great to see the WOD’s, and they typically post that week’s WODs a few days in advance, which is great for a planner like myself.
FYI for parents– they have a kids CrossFit class!
I’m so glad I went with Dalton’s!

Dalton’s CrossFit has pushed me to finally understand what a kick a** workout truly is. I used to go to the Claremont Club and I always felt like I was putting in «enough» effort. Until I tried CrossFit… I learned how to push myself to get even better results. The coaches at Dalton’s, especially Josh, are so supportive and are about helping each individual push themselves to their best ability. CrossFit can be for everyone because it is tailored to your individual ability level. Yes it seems intimidating, but the community is so friendly and supportive, that it encourages you to do more than you thought you could have done. THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! IF YOU WANT TO GET IN SHAPE IN A MOTIVATING AND FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT THEN DALTON’S IS THE PLACE!!!

I’ve been a fan of CrossFit for years, but haven’t had the energy or the time to do anything other than maintenance training, so when I got out of the Marine Corps recently, I went looking for a box. Dalton’s was the second place I tried and I’m glad I went with them. Gregg Dalton is very professional and was up front with me about the concepts and application of CF. My baseline workout was rough, but only because I haven’t done much rigorous physical activity for the past few months. I received nothing but encouragement and technique tips from Gregg and as a result was very motivated to complete the workout.
Since then (Monday this week) I’ve attended two additional WOD sessions and had the opportunity to work with John, the other instructor, as well. Most of the other clients I’ve met foster the sense of community that Gregg and his team are working to create, and it is nice to see other current and former military members attending sessions; makes me feel at home.
Contrary to popular belief, you won’t be doing Fran or Barbara or any of the other aptly named WODs when you first start. They’re scaled to your ability and for that, I am grateful! One piece of advice: start doing cardio and some strength a few weeks before you dive into this intense awesomeness. I am feeling like that would have helped me not feel so completely ripped to shreds after Tuesday’s cardio and strength-​o-​rama. Haha. Just a thought.
Come to this box. You won’t regret it!

This place is great. Everyone working there make the workouts fun and they are always concerned with the members health and work with everyone with their form. Definitely NOT intimidating. Plus all the members there are super friendly with everyone. its like a big positive family

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review for this place yet. Guess it just slipped my mind.
I go 3x a week. I didn’t know anything about crossfit but a friend who quit after a month recommended I give it a try. It’s been 14 months since I started and I can’t quit. I have always liked going to the gym — no not liked, but i always did go to the gym. I have had personal trainers in the past, i have tried different classes, I have done different phases of running (training for half marathons… etc), yoga (bikram)…all kinds of activity. Though I have successfully stayed thin — i never felt like i was ‘strong’ or that my body was changing.
I was hesitant to sign up after the first work out — i almost threw up. But … I am hooked! I saw my body changing in about 2 months — I have never felt stronger. Enough about CF — something about this particular box… I am sure there are many boxes in the area — claremont, upland, rancho, ontario… I did not do my research since my friend just referred me to this place so i can’t compare, but I am completely satisfied here with their coaching staff. One of the strengths of CF is that the each gym is like a community — and I see them striving to make this place a home for everybody — they hold events to bring everybody together, do social events, participate in challenges together…
if you are worried about not being able to follow the workouts or feeling like you are not strong enough — don’t worry. They work with you — scale everything according to your needs and limitations. If I can do this, anyone can. So call them and schedule your free workout.

I would totally recommend this place. You can tell the staff actually cares about you and what you’re trying to accomplish. Gregg the owner is awesome, very knowledgable dude. A+

The owners and trainers… well actually I’d say everyone here makes this gym (BOX) a positive and fantastic experience. When I joined, I was received with enthusiasm and the fit felt just right. It’s not about coming in with a perfect game — People recognize real effort — The goal is to make you a better you! It’s like golf — you compete against yourself to get better, faster, stronger, more flexible, have greater endurance etc. It really is true — you get out what you put in.
Dalton’s environment is all the support you need — solid expertise in movement and olympic weightlifting and diet, real gear, and most importantly — real people. This is not about selfish ambition… everyone pulls for everyone to be their very best and shouts encouragement and nudges you towards improvement. Saturday team days are fun because someone helps share the load — you have to experience it — and you will fall in love with the shared pain and shared rewards. Get to this BOX, plug in and get some real exercise done.

Dalton’s CrossFit is a life changing gym. Everyone there is friendly and the workouts are amazing! I’ve been going almost a year and I have seen amazing changes in my strength, conditioning, and body. It is a family friendly place and you will get results quick. You have to push yourself for results and all the coaches will always push you and assist you to better yourself. I highly recommend Dalton’s CrossFit. Get fit, have fun, and see results.

I have been hearing about CrossFit for sometime now but was always a bit intimidated to join or even check out. After gaining the courage and using the power of googling, I was connected with Daltons.
Being a bit out of shape and not really flexible, I assumed I would be doomed and sore for days to come. To my surprise, it was actually the opposite. I walked in and was surprised to see people of all sizes and ages (what a relief!). Gregg (the owner) personally introduced me to the team, a few members and gave me the run down on the type of exercises and classes. After completing a complimentary class and 3 supervised one on one/​group classes (included in the introductory price) I noticed results immediately. My energy was definitely increased and my muscles felt worked, but more importantly not sore.
Three weeks later, I am now a sold believer in this type of exercise, and this place! I highly recommend Dalton’s to anyone looking for an improved self (physically and mentally) in a non-​competitive, encouraging, fun and family like environment. Signed up I now am!
