CrossFit Max Level is the real deal. The programming is consistently challenging and well thought out. you can tell the coaches really know what they’re doing. What keeps me coming back, is the community. Everyone’s welcoming, supportive, and pushes each other to get better, just good people and great workouts.

CrossFit Max Level was Max Level! I was very impressed with my entire experience! Coach Z was an excellent coach and very welcoming and friendly! The way he coached his Olympic Weightlifting and CrossFit Class was very professional! Everyone was moving together on his command and he was breaking down movement and correcting while he was giving attention to each athlete. Coach Z was very clear and demanded respect across the gym. The class ran on time and was very organized. I was impressed with the cleanliness of the gym and the equipment! You can tell he is very passionate about his gym and everything in it! Including the people! Also his two dogs were there and they brought a smile to everyone’s face! I highly recommend CrossFit Max Level and anytime I’m in Arlington I will be coming back! Thank you for an amazing drop in experience!

Bough a three day drop in pass online and cannot recommend this gym enough. Coach and Owner- Coach Z- was extremely welcoming and helped introduce me to the community. Community was very welcoming, did a partner workout and partnered up with the strength workout. This is usually intimidating in a new space but I felt right at home. The warm up and education in this gym are top notch- each day we did something new that not only challenged me but taught me something. Very clear coaching, with great expectations. A beautiful facility, would highly recommend. Will definitely be back next time I'm in Arlington!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Moving from another state, I never imagined a gym could make me feel so at home. This place has honestly become the reason I love living here! The coaches are incredible , they push you, support you, and genuinely care about your progress. The community is unmatched; everyone feels like family. I’ve grown so much physically and mentally since joining. If you’re looking for a place that’s more than just a gym, this is it.

I absolutely love this CrossFit gym! The community is super welcoming, and the workouts are always challenging but fun. The coach is amazing — really knowledgeable, encouraging, and great at helping everyone (no matter your level) improve their form and confidence. I’ve seen huge progress since joining. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a motivating, supportive place to train! 💪

Coach/Owner Z(echariah) O'Rarden is a most excellent dude, and he even brings his dogs Hammer and Max to the 5:00 AM and 6:00 AM classes. Very thorough warm-ups and challenging WODs. It can be a bit hard to hear over the fans, but the people are all very warm, friendly, and welcoming. In other words, CrossFit people. My kind of people. Highly recommended.
