I dropped into Diablo CrossFit while in town visiting family during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. I was shocked to learn that their drop-in fee for a single class was $34, especially after I'd paid $25 for an entire week at a another gym [out-of-state] and planned to visit another gym later on in my trip which offered its first class free. I hoped to get a really good workout in for $34. I attended the 7:00am class and while Rick was a really great coach and the class members were friendly and welcoming, the class was disappointing. We did a very short warm up on the rower and then stretched for over 20+ minutes. There was no strength work that day, and the AMRAP (which was good) only lasted 12-15 minutes. On a non-strength Saturday, I'd expect a long grinder of a workout. I bought a shirt for $22 as I like to do when I drop in at gyms. The facility itself is HUGE and I wish I could've returned that week to check out the other areas and maybe try another class. Maybe next time I'm in town I'll give it another go.

Excellent CrossFit box with outstanding coaches, owners, and fellow athletes! Being new to the Bay Area, this box welcomes you from day one and makes you feel like part of a big family. I’m a travel physical therapist and greatly appreciated their detail to warmups, modifications, and Rx standards! Thanks for making my 3 months in SF fun & keeping my fitness a priority! I’ll definitely be back.

I decided to explore CrossFit and this was the closest location to my house and what a pleasant surprise it’s the best gym in my opinion. The space is amazing. The coaches are all really nice and knowledgeable. The members are so friendly. All the programs are good. As first timer getting into CrossFit I was a little intimidated but this place made me feel right at home! Highly recommended to anyone feel tired and uninspired at their regular gyms.

I'll start by saying, Diablo CrossFit has an Amazing community. And Amazing communities stem from strong leadership, solid values, and a positve culture that attracts great people. It's easy to see Diablo has all of these and so much more!The programming is on point, the coaches are the best and the facilty is fully loaded with all the right equipment, classes/clinics etc. to build whatever you're working toward... strength, skills and endurance, all of the above... or maybe just confidence... you'll find the best tools and talent here.I love going to DCF. I love being surrounded by friends who hold themselves and eachother accountable, who support one another in wherever they are in their health journey and who constantly motivate and celebrate eachother for being better versions of themselves everyday.Endless kudos, much respect and many thanks to Craig and Yvonne (owners/leaders) for creating this special place and fit community. Truly an unmatched and life enhancing experience.

I've never written a review before online: good, bad or ugly. I'm new to CF. If it weren't for the pandemic restrictions, I may never have found this place. I joined a year ago simply because I wanted to workout, keep fitness legal, and support a small business owner willing to fight for freedom. Needless to say, I got so much more than I expected. Great facility, great people/community, and great programming. This place offers so much more than I could achieve on my own: a solid warm up, focus on mobility, executing complex movements correctly, and a positive and competitive environment. This gym humbles me routinely, but I continue to progress and my overall physical health is more well-rounded. My primary form of exercise was rock climbing for over a decade. CF is a total body workout that provides a great base for all the other physical activities I enjoy. Look no further. All you have to do is show up and do hard things.

Diablo CF introduced me to CrossFit. The program is great. It has progressive options for all levels. Also each month there are targeted movements. The coaches are friendly and helpful. The members supportive and warm.

BEST GYM IN THE BAY AREA! I was always skeptical of CrossFit community. I always said "I don't wanna lift heavy I'm gonna look bulky! I don't wanna flip tire and climb ropes - crazy no way I refuse to be part of this cult!" Then my whole perception changed. My boyfriend, fiancé now asked me to sign up for a month and really give it my best. He has been part of Diablo family for 10 + years and he always rave about the gym so I said why not?Deal was if I hate it I can go back to my tradition gym workouts and do my own thing. First class we took was pretty challenging (power cleans & toes to bar) but coach Corey helped me by scaling the workout & helped with techniques . It's little daunting when you are trying something new but ALL Diablo coach are amazing at they do and they helped me through each class. I think by day 3 I was hooked. Okay maybe even day 1. I found myself wanting to get better and stronger. I found inner peace and balance by not focusing on physically appearance but to focus on strength, mobility, and improving my overall health/fitness goals. I often find myself pushing myself to do better since I'm competitive by nature. Also everyone encourage others to finish strong and I love the community aspect vs working out alone now.So if you are hesitant and wanting to try something new, give Diablo a try! You will not regret it!

Amazing gym. All of the coaches are wonderful and super knowledgeable. Classes run throughout the day, all week long, and there are multiple class types to choose from. Above all, the community is incredible, warm and welcoming to everyone who walks through the door. This gym is for EVERYONE, regardless of age, fitness level or ability. Come check it out - you will get in the best shape of your life, and you’ll meet the best people. Getting fit and making great friends….DCF is the best.

I have been a member of Diablo CrossFit for almost 1 1/2 years. I moved from Chicago and knew that Diablo was the place for me. They have an incredible community as well as coaches and owners who care about the health and safety of the members. I drive 15-20 minutes to get to the gym because the environment, the community, and the programming are simply the best. Craig and Yvonne are dedicated and professional owners. That have created a fantastic community at Diablo CrossFit!

Between the coaching knowledge and individual care in a group environment, and the progressive programming, and the inclusive community, I'm stronger and healthier than I've ever been. I've been working out for many many years and in many disciplines, and Diablo CrossFit has taken me from where I was and made me better. The big picture and the small details are taken care of.- most of the coaches make group classes feel like many individual lessons at the same time- the programming build on itself then varies throughout the week, month, and year. This is unique to DCF within the CrossFit environment, and was a huge draw for me at the beginning. It sticks on a skill long enough to get better at it before moving to something else- the community is supportive and also competitive - it's a nice balance.Also! There are showers and towels. ❤️

I love this gym! The community of people and staff are friendly, supportive, and the programming works! I've been attending crossfit classes for over 5 years now, and they are fun, challenging and excellent at building fitness. The amount of strength and the things you will be able to do are nothing short of amazing!

Diablo CrossFit has been my home gym for the past 5 years. I have found a true home away from home. Everyone is welcoming and you’ll find people from all walks of life coming together to get and stay fit. The ownership is top notch. The community culture is second to none. The coaching is spot on. Nothing is left to chance. I was very new to CrossFit when I joined Diablo and have made tremendous strides in my overall health, losing 30 pounds and getting fit along the way. Thank you Diablo! As I travel away from the area this is the place I will miss the most!

Currently in my onboarding process to become a coach at Diablo CrossFit. I have coached at several gyms and facilities over the last 8+ years and can confidently say that this place is by far the most well rounded and community oriented place I’ve been. As an athlete myself, it’s important to me that my training environment is challenging and supportive. From the moment i walked in, i have felt like i belong. The equipment is exactly what i need to train for the highest level of competition. The coaching staff is attentive, well educated and integrated with the community. Everyone is valued for who they are and where they are in their fitness (and life!) journey. DCF was established in 2005 and it shows! It’s clear that through humility, education and a member first approach, DCF will continue to be a staple in the CrossFit community for many more years to come.

It can change your life! No, I am not kidding, it's done a world of wonder for me and so many others. Craig and Yvonne (yes this is the type of place where you will get to know the owners) have built a safe place that allows elite athletes, and avg people, and anyone wanting to make a change in life, "Fit In" and have fun working out together. Don't let the word CrossFit intimidate you, everything is scalable and you might be surprised what it brings out in you.
