We thoroughly enjoyed our drop-in(s) at DRS, while visiting from out of town. Let me just tell you - this place feels like home the second you walk in. The very fist thing I noticed about the gym, was how clean/immaculate it was. I mean, WOW! The Coaches are top notch and extremely knowledgeable, immediately understanding how to modify and cater to individual needs/goals. The members are so friendly and hospitable. DRS is extremely well equipped, for athletes of any level. BUT, Coach Rosario's infectious energy was by far my favorite part of the experience. We will definitely be back, hopefully sooner than later.

First off, ownership and leadership are top notch. They truly care about people. You feel valued the moment you walk in the door. The community is a reflection of the leadership, it’s warm, welcoming and you leave feeling like a part of something much bigger than yourself.

Classes are structured and intentional. Coaches are present and detail oriented.

Hands down, the BEST gym in Huntington Beach. Highly encourage you to join if you are looking for a life change, a community that will challenge you and love on you and mentors that make you better.

DRS was a delight to visit, Quality Coaching with intention on members throughout the whole class. Warm and friendly atmosphere and the facility is exceptionally well maintained and clean. Loved the workout which had a combination of movements throughout the whole workout that was fun to do! If I lived closer to HB this would be my first choice community! Loved every bit of my time spent at DRS!

I started at DRS with very little CrossFit experience and honestly wasn’t sure if it would be for me. I had been a big home-gym girlie since COVID and used to hate going to traditional gyms because it always felt like there were too many people around. But from day one at DRS, I felt incredibly welcomed, and I truly enjoy the community of people I get to see (no longer rolling up to the gym hoping it is empty).The coaches and members are so supportive and encouraging. They meet you exactly where you are, offering clear guidance and motivation without any judgment. It creates a genuinely inclusive and positive atmosphere.
Although I had been working out consistently for years, since starting CrossFit at DRS eight months ago, I feel the strongest I’ve ever been and doing things I never thought I would be able to do. The environment constantly pushes you to challenge yourself in a way that feels both empowering and fun.
I truly look forward to every workout. It’s a fun, motivating experience that has become a meaningful part of my routine.

I love it here. The community is just amazing. Everyone is so friendly and supportive. The coaching staff is also amazing. They are truly there to push you to be better and support you on the way. They always have modifications for whatever you need.
I am in college and joined last year just for the summer and loved it there. This summer I wanted to go back so I reached back out to Coach Rosario and immediately got a reply. With how excited she was that I was back. Coach Rosario is such an amazing coach.

DRS is truly the best. Super clean and well maintained, inside and out. The coaches are motivating and keep workouts fun. The community and camaraderie that they have built is super encouraging and fun to be a part of. This is the best gym in Huntington Beach. I’ve been a member for years and don’t plan on ever leaving.

This gym is unbelievably clean—every barbell, mat, and corner is spotless, which makes working out so much more enjoyable. The coaches are next-level; they’re patient, super knowledgeable, and most importantly always makes sure my form is good. The community is so friendly, and the outdoor turf area is a cool touch. Honestly the best gym in Huntington Beach!

I recently took a few self defense classes here and it was such an empowering and valuable experience. The instructors were welcoming and supportive despite the fact that I had never taken a class like this before. I learned practical techniques on how to defend myself in dangerous situations. Everyone deserves to feel safe and this class helped to make that a reality.

The community is incredibly welcoming, with everyone sporting the biggest smiles and offering constant encouragement. I've received invaluable advice on how to improve, which has truly motivated me to push myself further. I can't say enough good things about DRS Athletics!

DRS Athletics truly is a great community. I was recommended to this gym and truly appreciated both the coaches and the supportive environment they have built.

It was my first time attending, and the coach was amazing. She made sure I was working within my limits and offered modified workouts as needed.

Everyone in the class was enthusiastic and cheered each other on. To me, that says a lot about the gym and the coaches—they’re the ones who foster such a positive atmosphere.

I cannot recommend DRS enough and plan to visit again.

Thank you to all the coaches and team members for making it such an incredible experience!

I used to dislike burpees, running, and squats.

Then I found CrossFit at DRS. At first, the workouts were tough, but what I liked about DRS was that you can work at your own pace, and the coaches support you every step of the way. They really listen to your needs, modify workouts if necessary, and provide valuable tips to improve your performance.

The community is also incredibly supportive, and the high fives between workouts help keep you going during the tough ones.

After two months at DRS, I feel stronger both physically and mentally, and I look forward to coming in every day to continue improving.

I have been at DRS for over five years now. I never felt ‘athletic’ before and I was super intimidated of CrossFit before I came to DRS. However, both the coaches and members were so kind and supportive, I decided to join after my 2 week free trial. I am not exaggerating when I say that this is a safe place for people of all levels and from all different walks of life. I have now had two babies and the coaches have helped me through both pregnancies and recoveries! I have made so many friends here and am so thankful that I found this community. I can’t recommend DRS enough!!! Please check it out if you are looking for a fun, encouraging, and positive environment!

The best workouts ever - personalized for your individual goals and fitness level! I am NOT a crossfit person & just wanted to get into a fun fitness routine that would make me feel good. DRS is the perfect fit. The instructors are trained professionals able to modify any workout to match your specific needs. The atmosphere is fun, friendly and inclusive. The workout schedule is thoughtfully put together to help everyone advance, improve and develop in a logical progression. DRS has a family-friendly atmosphere where everyone is welcome. You will not find a better program anywhere.

We are a Navy family new to the area, so finding a home away from home was our top priority, and we found that and more at CrossFit DRS. From the moment we dropped in, we were warmly welcomed by Coach Rosario and Coach Cheryl with genuine love, care, and interest in our family's needs, not just in fitness but our overall well-being. Now, as members for over a year, DRS' programming is proven tried and true as my husband and I have both significantly grown in our fitness and in our friendships with the community too. DRS holds a special set of standards that encourages its members to move well and with purpose. The coaches are knowledgeable, well trained, and great role models of this and are always very encouraging to us members. Life will and has thrown some things at us that has caused us to readjust in how and what we can train, but the coaches at DRS have helped both my husband and me to accommodate our specific needs so that we can continue to be consistent. The equipment is well maintained, the facility is always clean and family friendly, with programs for everyone at any fitness level. We have nothing but love for this place and its people. CrossFit DRS Athletics is the gem of Huntington Beach.

The best gym I’ve ever belonged to. Rosario and her staff of coaches are amazing! They are welcoming, caring, and most of all excellent in their instruction. I walked in unable to do anything, and 10 months later I have gained so much fitness and strength. Beginner to advanced athletes will all benefit from working out at DRS. I highly recommend!

DRS Athletics is an amazing place. It literally has changed the lives of everyone in our family. My wife, three daughters, and I are all regulars.

As noted by many other reviews, the programming is fantastic. We have gotten stronger and faster and leaner. There are two other aspects that I would like to highlight.

First, zero injuries.

The focus is always on quality over quantity. Recently, I was doing an overhead squat with a very low weight. I asked the coach if I should go up in weight. The answer was, ‘not yet,’ not until quality is higher.

Second, the amazing culture.

The DRS community is very positive. On a recent afternoon, two of our daughters were working with Coach Rosario while a cross fit class was going on. The entire gym was rocking with shouts of encouragement to the people lifting. Saturday morning classes are particularly popular and fun. On some days, I want to go to DRS just to see the people.

Thank you Coach Rosario and all DRS coaches for making our family healthier, fitter, and happier.

I decided to try X-fit for the second time with my sister who is a regular member at DRS. I thought this would be a great enhancement to my regular workout routine of running, weight-lifting and swimming which I do regularly. However, after doing the cardio and weightlifting session for 2hrs with the regular members, I realized I wasn't as fit as I thought! Not only did DRS made me welcome as a drop-in, but also Coach Rosaria taught me something and made me humble. Great coaching in walking me through step-by-step in achieving the proper technique and reaching my goal. Thanks again!
Cheers, Raul

I started at DRS over a year ago! Best decision ever! They make sure you understand every move and give alternatives if you need them.

I’ve also been to a couple of the Krav seminars that they have! Very well run! You can tell Coach Rosario has studied her craft for a long time, has a passion for teaching, and wants to help everyone own their personal safety. It is a safe and fun environment to learn an important skill.

As a former college athlete I have tried my fair share of gyms and training styles and DRS is hands down the best gym I have been a part of! They have created a truly unique environment focused on community, safety in training, and of course, having fun. The coaches know everyone by name and create a welcoming environment for any newcomers. The gym and equipment is always clean and in good condition. Pricing is very reasonable and there are some great bundles to enroll in multiple programs. I would highly recommend DRS to anyone on their fitness journey who is looking for a place to motivate and support you along your journey!

I have been participating in CrossFit for about a month and a half before I had to take a trip home to Southern California. I was so worried that I would have to take a week off as I was just getting into the grove of CrossFit. However, someone at my gym said “just drop into a gym down there. After finding out what that meant, I started researching different gyms in Huntington Beach and came across DRS Athletics. I was hesitant at first but the staff at DRS went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and supported every step of the way. I worked mostly with Coach Rosario and Coach Cheryl for the week I was there and they both made me feel like family during my visit. I cannot recommend this gym enough even if you’re a local in town looking to start on your fitness journey or just an out-of-towner looking to drop in. Seeing how the whole community welcomed me just after a week, I know they treat their members like family here (the family you love seeing). The facility was beautiful with all their equipment kept in immaculate condition. I will definitely be back, as I now consider this gym my away from home, home gym.

Hands down best GYM! DRS is not just a CrossFit Gym, but a community. I look forward to seeing my peeps at the WOD's (Workout Of the Day) and pushing myself beyond what I thought I could do. All the coaches knew my name and my personal challenges from Day 1. I've completed over 1,165 WOD's with my friends at DRS and I wouldn't want to sweat anywhere else.

DRS Athletics is hands down the best gym in Huntington Beach. After almost 4 years of committed attendance and seeing my strength and conditioning grow by leaps and bounds and enjoying the supportive community of members and coaches I could not imagine being at a different place. I had to have serious spinal surgery in June 2021 and wasn’t sure how to live my life but the team at DRS took care of me so well. I was encouraged to do what I could while recovering and having a place to go was so important for my mental and physical health I will never forget it.
While recovering from surgery I also took their Coaching Education Program and now I am also a coach there after 9 months of study and internship. This place is a hub of positive physical activity from CrossFit to 30 min Fit classes, private self defense, teen and youth sports performance, Olympic Weightlifting and so much more!

After trying different CrossFit gyms, I would have to rate DRS Athletics as the best one out there! Not only does this gym offer a variety of workout classes to fit everyone's workout preference, but they include extremely fun challenges and events throughout the year for their members.
I personally attend the morning/afternoon "FIT" classes that consists more of a fast pace HITT workout style for those who may not be interested in the typical CrossFit classes, consisting of barbells and heavy weightlifting.

There is a strong sense of community and support here that cannot be compared to any other facility. When I first joined the gym, I never expected making lifelong friends here! Each coach makes sure that you are comfortable and confident in your abilities during each workout. They aspire for you to grow and accomplish your goals along your fitness journey. Therefore, I highly recommend trying a class or two to see what type of workout best fits you! You will not regret it;)

This place just feels like home! I joined 6 months ago after trying the free two week trial and was instantly hooked. I had done boot camps elsewhere for years and always wanted to try CrossFit but was intimidated. The coaches made the transition “easy”… and it quickly became the highlight of my day. The community is fun, supportive, and uplifting — no matter what class time I attend. The programming challenges me and has allowed me to gain so much strength/endurance.

Not to mention, around the time I joined, I began rehabbing an old shoulder injury; without skipping a beat the coaches modified all my workouts until I was cleared to resume working my shoulder. They continuously checked in and held me to my Drs requirements … even when I didn’t want to (haha).

This place is a hidden gem and I am thankful for all they do.

Joint about a year ago without any high expectations of sticking around as i went to other crossfit gym before, and in those gyms (wont put any names) I din't like how WoD's are structured (they were not at all) and coaching isn't supportive to athletes.

Very quickly i found out that this gym stands out quite a lot from others by excellent WoD structure and programing, but not just that, coaches at this gym put tremendous effort to show and provide great support, feedback and coaching during/before/after WoD to all level athletes from never ever done any workouts to top athletes still competing at highest level.

If you are looking for a good gym, give this guys a chance and come see them for free WoD, you might like it and become a part of their great community.

keep on the good work DRS.

We had an association meeting at this location. While I was not there to work out, I can tell you they have lots of heavy-duty equipment there and padded floors restrooms and a nice space large enough for multiple workouts at the same time or large groups of people working out together.

This location is not easily visible from the street, you kind of have to know it is there. It is in an industrial area and does not face the street. It is behind some manufacturing place.
