Da Factory, a Crossfit gym located in Miami, FL is not your average gym. In fact, from its gym size to its customer base to its workout length, there’s nothing average about it. Da Factory promotes overall fitness with workouts that boost athleticism by increasing endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility, balance and accuracy. Along with plyometrics and Olympic lifts, CrossFit blends pulling, pushing and swinging weight to create a workout regime that continually challenges its members.

CrossFit members perform a timed Workout of the Day (WOD), competing against fellow CrossFitters for the best time while attempting to break their own personal records. Typical workouts average 15 to 20 minutes of nonstop movement. What’s great about competing against each other is that you push each other to do your best. It’s like you’re competing in a sporting event while getting shredded at the same time. Who does CrossFit target? “It seems to attract people who aren’t happy with the mentality of big box gyms,” says Bruno Garcio, owner. “If you’re afraid of sweating, then Crossfit isn’t for you. You have to come ready to push yourself every day, and it is very addictive. People who stick with it generally make it a lifestyle. We have several times a week where we offer FREE workout sessions for those who have never experienced a Crossfit workout. It doesn’t require a certain level of fitness, it only requires commitment.”

Our gym is as controversial as it gets when it comes to fitness. Challenging the “Big-Box Gym” mentality, Da Factory uses free-weights, kettlebells, Olympic rings, medicine balls, plyometrics, and Olympic lifts to get its members in elite shape. In addition to Crossfit workouts, Da Factory also offers CrossFit Football, Team Performance training, and very soon will be offering Firefighter training.
