This is an excellent CrossFit box! The coaches are amazing and really know their craft! You can tell everybody feels comfortable there and the coaches go above and beyond for military and veterans. Come see for yourself! Less

Community. Health. Fitness. If you’re looking for the Triple Threat—Then you’ve found the right place. From the first day, this gym has felt like a family, and that feeling has only grown stronger since I’ve been apart of the gym. Being led by experienced CrossFit Coaches/Vets that LOVE THE SPORT & COMMUNITY, while being pushed and encouraged in class by every athlete that walks through the door, is all the motivation I need to come to class and strive to be better. CF is a journey in itself, but DSCF makes it an enjoyable experience that pushes you to your limits everyday! I’m truly thankful for this gym, and if know any better, you will give DSCF a chance as well. Be apart of the Family! Less

This is hands down the best CrossFit gym I have ever been to. While not new to CrossFit, I am back to step 1 after having my kids and letting life get in the way. For 3 years now, I have been trying out different facilities and gyms (including boutique facilities) but I just never could find the right atmosphere to stay committed. I am so excited to have found this amazing community that accepted me immediately with open arms. I have only felt motivated and excited to step into the gym since being here and I cannot wait to see my progress in the months to come. I knew from the moment we started the warm up on my first day that I would sign up and I’m so glad I did. Aside from the coaches being absolutely fantastic, the members that are at the gym really make an effort to learn who you are. Even after being there less than a week, someone reached out because they overheard what I do as a career and added my name for a possible job listing that they knew about. I have already told all of my neighbors about this great place and only expect it to get bigger and better in their future! Less

After a long hiatus from CrossFit, I decided to try Down South at the beckoning of a friend. What I found was a community of people dedicated to being their best selves everyday. The workouts are so much fun and the atmosphere is one of friendly accountability and comraderie. My time at Down South has become the highlight of my day. Less

DSA Rocks! Coach Cindy and Coach Ray are very supportive and knowledgeable. I met Coach Cindy more than a year ago @RedPoint and she was very welcoming and helpful. Her wise words were, “ Take your time, follow your own pace, control your breathing and then you will get there.” DSA has built a great community of athletes and a pleasant atmosphere to work out for beginners and advanced ones.

I highly recommend that you and your friends or family check out Down South! Cindy and Justin, the owners and coaches, are incredibly dedicated and supportive. They genuinely care about helping you achieve your fitness goals, providing expert guidance every step of the way. What sets them apart is their commitment to creating a family-oriented environment, where athletes of all levels can thrive. They’ve built a warm, welcoming community of people who support and encourage each other. If you're looking for a place where you’ll not only improve your fitness but also feel like part of a close-knit, positive community, Down South is the place to be! Less

Grateful is how I'm brining this New Year. Six months ago I wanted to start my journey and didn't know where or how. I let myself go for so many years that I thought it was just how life was going to be. After the death of a few family members, my marriage on the rocks and life just passing me by, I got tired of being sick and tired. I would get winded just walking to my truck and I hated it, how did I do this to myself? Well, after my nieces funeral that was it. I was searching for a gym and a program to make the change.... Didn't find any that peeked my interest. Then doing my usual scrolling on FB I saw a video of Cindy doing these crazy pull ups, I have never seen a woman do these and never seen those pull ups before! But what really pulled me in closer was she dedicated her workout to her sister for her birthday... who does that and what a beautiful gift, to be healthy and take care of your body.. I reached out right away and chatted with Ray Ray, let him know I'm starting from ground zero and would they work with me? Ray Ray was so kind and welcoming and told me to come and try it out and they would love to be a part of my journey. I went, hated where I was at physically but felt so much encouragement and true support that I knew they would be the ones to help me. Ray sent me Cindy's video on nutrition and I was off to the races. They meet me where I was at and have always made me feel like I could do anything. Even when I'm not feeling my greatest Ray always reassures me that this obstacle is right now, we doing this for life and we will get there! Cindy always loving on me letting me know I'm doing it. My cup run over with so much love and gratitude meeting them. I've gained so many beautiful brothers and sisters at DSA/ DS Crossfit, God knew what I needed. I'm 66 lbs down since June and going. Thank you Cindy and Ray for pouring into me and giving me back life. I can run with my grands, walk endlessly with my kids and just live again. 2025 I want to continue this journey to only get better and meet my personal goals and once that goal is met...... Y'all will be sick of me!! lol stripper pole here I come!! Bahaha Less

I just dropped into this gym, and it is by far one of the best ones I’ve been in with an abundance of energy and community! It all starts with the two owners and coaches, Ray & Cindy. They are energetic and pay incredible attention to the details, which in turn makes for a very safe, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Take the time to visit them! Less

I just visited Down South CF for two days while visiting some family. They were VERY accommodating with being open at 6 am on Thanksgiving and the following day (Cindy was even willing to workout with me as I was originally the only one signed up to workout Friday, she still did the workout even when 2 others joined). I was accepted immediately and felt like I hadn’t even been away from the community in my box in NY. Honestly we spent a little more time on mobility than my home box which I enjoyed. The workouts were the right pace for a holiday as well. 10/10 recommend and will return next time I’m in Fayetteville. Less

My wife and I discovered Down South CrossFit in June 2024 after years of buying traditional gym memberships and never using them. We wanted to find a place that we could both work out together and boy have our lives changed over the last 5 months. Down South CrossFit has a one of a kind community where we all root for each other and want to hang out even after the workout is over. The owners are an AMAZING couple whose passion for improving peoples health is unparalleled and they show so much care and expertise in every session they coach that your life will be changed for sure. Down South coaches combine their knowledge of nutrition, gymnastics, and Olympic lifting with the root methodologies of CrossFit to constantly vary functional movements at high intensity in a community environment. They have helped my wife and I get stronger, more flexible, and improve our health so we are confident we can keep living actively into our 80s. There is even another fellow female athlete that works out with us who has lost over 50lbs in the last 6 month…so inspiring! They have done all of this out of their home garage gym…which just expanded into a 3,000 SF commercial space that will only allow us all to get even better! What an exciting time to join! The coaches are able to meet you exactly where you’re at: if just a beginner, they take care to ensure you start slowly with no pressure and tailor movements to your individual fitness level. If you are a competitive Crossfitter…come to this box! Cindy and Ray Rae regularly compete (and win) in competitions across the South and continually train up the next competitors for success…but in a way that is different and more caring than I’ve ever seen. We can’t say enough about Down South CrossFit and the owners who make this place special. If what you’ve been trying for years hasn’t been working…take the first step in trying a new path and contact Down South Crossfit…you won’t regret it. Less

Premier coaching. Coaches who believe in you, meet you where you’re at - yet guide you to your potential. Cindy and Ray have fostered a community that is unmatched in terms of support. Each WOD and METCON is different, challenging yet scalable - progress is measurable. Want someone who believes in you long before you believe in yourself? They are your folks. Less

This CrossFit gym is exceptional, and it’s all thanks to the dynamic duo running it. They bring unmatched expertise, energy, and a no-nonsense approach to coaching. No matter your skill level, they know how to push you, challenge you, and help you grow. The workouts are expertly designed to be tough but adaptable, and the environment they’ve built is second to none—supportive, motivating, and focused. If you want serious results with coaches who truly know their stuff, this is the place to go. Less

Great gym with coaches who really care about each member. Not many gyms like this one! The coaches are fit and live the lifestyle. Very accommodating for all fitness levels. Less
