A little bit small, so call if you are interested in dropping in. If you have business in Pooler, GA Patrick and Sunny are a must stop gym if you need to get your WOD!

I literally cannot sing the praises of Down Home CrossFit loudly enough. Itβs been a long time since Iβve experienced the feeling of back-in-the-day, kind of OG CrossFit, and Sunny and Jake nailed it. Their programming is so careful and thoughtfully planned, but more importantly, they are welcoming and engaging and helpful. No one is left lost in the corner.
If youβre considering giving this gym a try, I urge you not to wait. Getting in great shape is just the icing on the cake compared to the community youβll become a part of.

Cheryl and I started Down Home in summer of 2022. I was 48 years old, had always been active, martial arts, mountain biking, etc and felt I was in decent shape. I quickly found out I was not where I thought I was and could be much better!
Weightlifting has never been my thing. I kind of attribute this to never seeing any progress when I did try it throughout the years. But, this experience has been different. The personalized coaching, support and scalable programming have made all the difference. Iβm seeing progress. Iβm stronger. I have more cardiovascular stamina. And, itβs never boring!
We love our Downhome family! Folks are supportive, the programming is challenging yet scalable to your fitness level/needs and the overall feel is welcoming. Come join us!

I was always skeptical of CrossFit, but I tried DHCF 2 years ago when I moved to Savannah now 2 years later Iβm still at it. Youβll be welcomed here no matter what your level. DHCF has a family vibe from the owners, coaches, and the members. Want to be supported, encouraged, and challenged on your fitness journey come try out Down Home CrossFit. #5am crew

I walked into Down Home CrossFit in May of 2023 not sure of what I was doing, but knowing I had to make a change in my life. I was overweight, on several medications because of that, and needing to make changes. I knew nothing about CrossFit other than what I had heard and seen on TV. What I found was a group of people that shared my same goals and who were dedicated to helping people reach their goals. This is functional fitness and no matter what stage your in, you can find a workout or program to meet your needs. I have dropped weight, gotten stronger, and have come off 2 medications. This gym, the people there, and the workouts they prescribe work. You can not and will not fail here. Believe in the process and you will find results and happiness, guarantee.

I love working out at Down Home. There is always something special about a gym that literally gives you that βDown Homeβ feeling. This gym does exactly that. The coaches are amazing, knowledgeable, and are great at correcting movements without making you feel stupid. I recommend working out here to everyone - βCrossfitterβ or not! Itβs refreshing to receive encouragement on your gym growth and friendship all in one!

Updated review: I'm about 20 months into my CrossFit journey and am still loving Down Home! The coaches are (still) awesome and are always willing to help. The people are truly amazing and I look forward to the grind with my friends! Can't wait to see what's in store in 2024!
I am SO glad I found this gym! The facility is incredible and the coaches are awesome!! I am brand new to CrossFit and was a bit scared to give it a try. I'd never done an Olympic lift before and was so thankful the coaches could teach me proper form. One aspect I really enjoy is that the coaches are able to suggest modifications whenever you need them. As a gal approaching her mid-40s, this is key for me! I think one of the things I like most about DHCF is that people are friendly here! Even if I'm the last one to finish, or using much lighter weight, everyone is supportive and will cheer for you until your last rep! If you are at all on the fence about joining, or are even a seasoned CrossFitter looking for a new gym, please come check out Down Home!

I started coming here after a LONG break from working out properly and I am very glad I did. The coaches are knowledgable and willing to push you as hard or as gentle as necessary. I am feeling better physically and mentally and have made a ton of new friends in a new community as well. My favorite thing about Down Home Crossfit is how close knit and friendly everyone is. On my first day going I knew nobody; but, everyone made a point to cheer me on and congratulate me at the end! I would 1000% recommend this gym to anyone who is looking for crossfit gym in Pooler!

Sunny and Jake are wonderful! They are so professional and do amazing work everyday. The community at this gym is outstanding. This gym changed my life for the better. Being a member for several years, I can truly say this is the fittest Iβve ever been in my life. All members are encouraging and all the coaches are exceptional. This is by far the best gym I have ever experienced. There are several class times and all the workouts are designed so well. I cannot say enough good things about Down Home and the owners!

I was pretty hesitant to get into CrossFit as it seems pretty intimidating. The coaches at down home have been great and encouraging even while while old self struggles through the work outs. I like how the work outs of the week are posted so I can pick and choose which ones will work for me. I also love that there is a kids area so I can bring my kids while I work out.

I've been going to this gym for 2 years. Due to being close to my due date, I decided to not renew membership for another year. Since I've been a member at this gym, this gym always used Facebook as a way to communicate to everyone: used the platform to make purchases, renewing memberships, provide updates etc. When I communicated to the owner via Facebook about not renewing my membership, she gave me peace of mind she would handle it also due to members who paid full price during COVID even though the gym was closed she made a promise to give members a month free to compensate us: Which she did allow me to take advantage of that so I was not responsible for the last month's payment. Even though I've always made payments on the 15th, I was charged on the 1st full price and that account was zeroed out so I accumulated an overdraft fee. I immediately contacted her about needing a refund and needing to be compensated for that fee. Instead of just apologizing and fixing the problem, she responded with "Look Imani" and turned it around stating I should of sent an email then this would of never happened and they ask for everyone to provide at least 15 days notice for cancellations (which I did). The tone of the message was very condescending and unprofessional. I do believe this gym offers great workout programs and the people are very nice but I believe how they handle logistics and how they talk to there loyal customers can be improved upon.
**UPDATE**
Owner (Sunny) posted on their Facebook business page that she made special accomodations for me due to me being pregnant by giving me 2 months free. Then decided to block me from the business group page even though based on my contract, I am still a member until April 15th. Special accomodations were NEVER made to me and I never asked for any. I have always paid full price without any issues for 2 years. March 15th payment was only free due to an offer she made to all gym members. She not only lied to make herself look like she did nothing wrong but went as low to use my pregnancy within that lie. Very unprofessional and disgusting. DO NOT RECOMMEND

Being brand new to the CrossFit world, I had no idea what to expect coming into my first class. I am so glad I took the chance and joined. I truly cannot say enough amazing things about all of the coaches & members there. Everyone makes you feel so welcomed & is so quick to offer help or advice (especially for someone like me who knows very little about CrossFit). I never thought I would look forward to waking up at 4:30am for a 5am workout. It truly feels like a family at Down Home, starting on day 1.

Everyone at Down Home CrossFit are truly gems in the Pooler CrossFit scene. All the coaches are very helpful and attentive and communicative. The experience really has no comparison for me as far as a coaching experience. The gym has all the tools you could think of having in the gym. The gym has lots of open space for a lot of activities. The gym really acts as a family and pretty much everyone knows everyone's name. The workouts are expertly curated and you get an amazing workout every single time.

Dropped in here for a few weeks when we were traveling in the area. Jake, his other coaches and his community were extremely welcoming to an "outsider". They live up to their name and embrace that open environment and positive attitude!
Whether you're looking for a place to drop-in OR you're looking for a new gym to call home I can't recommend you give Jake and his crew the chance to welcome you in!
Really appreciate you opening your doors to me Jake!

The best gym I have ever joined. They are hardworking, flexible and kind. I tried it out with a couple of packages they were offering on Black Friday and then I was hooked. It gave me an outlet for major stress, I gained muscle and my mindset started to shift. When I started classes, my migraines were so bad that I would leave class with a killer headache for the first couple of weeks. Eventually, the migraines went away whether it was because of better circulation, eating better or building muscles in my neck. If I had a terrible day, I would cry it out and then go work it out. And that's why it's worth every penny. Because no matter how bad my day was, I could go in there and work it out. Every time I was p.o. from my job or financial situation, I could go in there and all I had to do was channel that anger. Halfway through the class you realize that kind of anger isn't enough to push you through, you have to have a better reason to be there. And that's really what Down Home gave me: a better reason to be there. It was hard and every time I started to feel comfortable, they would push me to try something new. Everyone was friendly, people would help me for no other reason than to help. The playlists were fun. It was just badass to walk in and there with like 20 guys/girls pumping cold hard iron staring straight into the abyss of themselves and then go sit next to them and be like, "THE ABYSS IS STARING BACK INTO YOU BABY."

This is seriously a great "gym" no matter what stage of life you're in. I go with my two kids, and they absolutely love it. Everyone there is so supportive, and you'll feel like family instantly regardless of your starting point. I joined when I was three months pregnant and felt very confident going throughout the duration of my pregnancy because I had experts helping to make sure I was healthy and safe. So no matter if you're already in great shape and looking for a new home gym, or taking your first step towards overall well being, Down Home is definitely the place for you. Jake and Sunny will make sure you have everything you need to feel successful!

It's a great gym in a convenient, but quiet location. I especially love how the facility is aired out regularly. The instructors are helpful and friendly, and the general vibe of the place is relaxed and non-competitive. Contracts are non-committal. Although you can go at your own pace, the instructors definitely try to push you past your limits. It's perfect if you want to work out in a group setting of all ages and sizes.

Stopped by as a drop in while traveling through town. Jake was an awesome coach who spent the time going through the WOD but as well as taking time to work on some mobility issues with me. I have only been doing crossfit for a couple months, but I travel a lot with work and stop by a number of gyms and this was one is great. Thanks again Jake and Sunny.

Jake, Sunny, and Will are extremely easy to work with and the people at Down Home CrossFit are all friendly and ready to motivate one another and put in some serious work. They have a series of different classes to choose from, whatever your goals may be, and they post their schedule on their website. I personally went with a punch card type of payment plan with them, as I have a fairly unpredictable work schedule and don't know when I can come in. They have a fair amount of equipment, enough to support upwards of 15-18 people at a time. They will sit down with you and talk nutrition, conditioning, life goals, and anything else!

This is the best crossfit gym I have ever experienced! Down Home really feels like home. The coaches and members are truly amazing. It is a welcoming environment for all types of skill levels or people with different kinds of goals. The coaches put in a lot of work to help you outside of the gym too, whether it be with nutrition challenges or interesting videos/books. I have grown so much as a person and in my fitness goals thanks to this team. If you've ever wanted to invest in your health and life, this is the place you need to check out.

Down Home has changed my life! I've been a member for 2 years and have participated in bootcamp, crossfit, specialty workshops, the crossfit games, and personal training. Sunny and Jake have built a Home that is welcoming, where you're pushed to be the BEST version of yourself, and the TEAM is there for support. The coaches are wonderful! I've faced demons, gained confidence, my health is improving, and my body is changing in ways I didn't think possible. Come give Down Home a try! :)

The staff is great and the cost of the gym is reasonable. I've joined the "Boot Camp" as a way to exercise with accountability and community. The class leaders don't yell at you or force you to do things you're not ready to do, they encourage and challenge yes, but they aren't forceful about it.

There are not enough words to describe how grateful I am for Down Home Cross Fit. From the very first moment I walked through the doors, I have felt accepted, encouraged, motivated and challenged. The coaches are very positive and motivating and most importantly, have given me a restored confidence in myself, as well as, a drive to better myself physically and mentally. You must give them a try, you will not be disappointed. What they have done for me, you cannot put a value on it.
