The coaching, programming, and people are all fantastic. I have worked out here for two months now, and I have seen notable improvements in both strength and mobility (even having worked out at gyms of similar styles for the last 4 years). Chris, the coach, tailors all of the movements to each individual, and people of all abilities train safely at blue wave. He places significant emphasis on injury prevention and functional movement, and I believe that emphasis will keep his athletes safe both in the gym and in real life.
Chris Lofland is far and away the best Olympic weightlifting and performance coach I have ever trained with, and his programming has improved every single aspect of my fitness. Since starting at BlueWave, Ive developed greater strength and endurance, better mobility and body control, and as an added bonus, I look and feel better than I have in years. On top of that, the community at BlueWave is unbelievable, and the encouragement you get on a daily basis is something you wont find anywhere else. If youre looking for a gym in Fort Worth, do yourself a favor and talk to Chris. Whether you do the general/performance fitness classes or the Olympic weightlifting program, you wont be disappointed.
Hands down, an amazing place to work out. Chris (the owner) has been my coach for roughly 6-7 months now and Ive seen phenomenal progress in my technique and overall fitness. I could probably write more than I should for a review simply because I am so pleased with my decision to join his gym and have him as my coach. I used to do crossfit (which this gym does offer), but with Chris Ive been doing olympic weightlifting. He is a very experienced coach and very exact in his instruction. His programs account for recovery, which allows for quicker/stronger gains (something Ive found many cross fit programs gloss over). His programs also ensure that we have accessory work to strengthen all muscle groups, get in our cardio, and improve mobility. I think his background in gymnastics adds an extra touch to his coaching strategy. Plus, hes just really lighthearted, and a great guy. Ive always done so much better with coaches like that --and he seems genuinely invested in your success.Apart from the overall programming and coaching, the gym is new and so the equipment is all new. The people are so friendly too and just so fun! Definitely 5 stars here. If i were to list any negatives that someone might consider, I would simply say that the gym is moderate in size and so our community is smaller. If you like bigger gyms or more crowded places then that might be something to consider!
My wife and I needed to find a gym closer to our house so we started google searching gyms in our area. We stumbled across BlueWave and are so glad we did! Not only is Chris, the owner/operator, a super knowledgeable guy but everyone that works out with us is super nice. We highly recommend BlueWave if you are looking for a group fitness style gym.
Such a great place to work out! The multiple programs offered guarantees something for everyone, from beginner to advanced, whether its fitness/crossfit, weightlifting or gymnastics. The owner/coach, Chris Lofland, is the most intelligent coach I have worked with since beginning my crossfit journey. He really understands each athlete and how they need to be coached in order to excel. Its not a question of if you should check it out, its when!
BlueWave Fitness is a great place for athletes of all experience levels. When I first joined, I had no prior experience with olympic weightlifting. Chris is so patient and willing to work with every one of us. Some of us require more patience than others (lol), but Chris never hesitates to offer his full dedication to each and every member of the BlueWave team.As a medical student, my schedule is sometimes unmanageable and requires me to be very efficient with my training. Chris has worked with me to help make my programming work with my busy schedule and is very encouraging and flexible to the needs of his members.Being part of the BlueWave team is like being part of a family. Chris and Robin are very hospitable and make sure that we have regular social events planned to get us together away from our stressors and create unity within the gym. (There is even a BlueWave book club!)No matter your goals, whether they be to excel at olympic weightlifting, competitive fitness, or just to improve your overall strength and health, BlueWave can help you achieve it. I could not ask for a better gym.
I was fortunate enough to spend a year at BlueWave. Chris is a fantastic coach with an incredible knowledge base. The community is friendly and welcoming. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fitness home.
I loved this place. Great people to lift with. Chris has got to be one of the best coaches in DFW when it comes to Olympic weightlifting and gymnastics. I hated leaving there and would still be there had I not moved so far away. If you get a chance drop in and get youre learning on.
Low key spot with a great get at it as hard as you want to atmosphere. Stopped by for an open gym session and spoke with the owner and had a very positive experience. Very well mannered and knowledgeable. Will definitely be going back to BlueWave for sure. If I could give it a few more stars I would.
What is your definition of fitness? Looking good? Feeling good? How much you bench? How quickly you complete Fran? At BlueWave Fitness Chris Lofland will teach you that there is not a singular approach to Fitness. He takes multiple disciplines and breaks them down to the basics. He habitually attends seminars and stays abreast of new research because he is a constant student of his discipline. My wife struggled with gaining her first pull-up for at least a year. Every day she would train and workout with banded pull-ups and this got her nowhere! Under Chriss direction she was doing sets of unassisted pull-ups in under three months. I myself have horrible joint problems with multiple surgeries since I was 23. Under Chriss direction in one year I have overcome multiple flair-ups and have made PRs in squats, deadlift, Olympic lifts, gymnastics...the list is endless. For Quality and Personal Coaching and programming so that you can live a long and HEALTHIER life there is no other choice in the Metroplex. BlueWave Fitness will be my home away from home for as long as I live.
There is NO ONE more knowledgeable and patient then Christopher Lofland at BlueWave Fitness. He has been coaching my 57 yr old mother since last April. She has lost 20 llbs and gained a significant amount of muscle mass. I have watched her become more and more healthy and feel better and stronger daily.I have needed to gain weight and muscle for some time now. Christopher continues to coach me in a way I have not been able to receive at any other gym nor through any other coach. Our entire family is getting stronger and healthier each and every day.Thank You Christopher .Zack
Bluewave by far exceeds expectations! The atmosphere and community is like non-other, we thrive on each others progress and Chris knowledge/programs (owner). Positive, upbeat energy leaves you excited to come back for more! BEST COACH, BEST TEAM. #bluewavefit
I have known Chris for a while now and I know he is one of the best trainers out there! If you are looking to improve every aspect of your body then this is the place to go! His understanding of human movement is like no other!
My girlfriend dropped in at the gym while we were visiting my parents, everyone was super welcoming and the gym had all the equipment she needed to keep training while we were on vacation. Great club!

2016-12-14Chris is one of the best coaches Ive had and the people here are so welcoming. Its a home away from home AND my lifting has improved leaps and bounds. Injuries are close to none and training includes recovery and preventative exercises that allow all of us to lift injury free. Ive tried several gyms in Fort Worth and this place has exceeded all my expectations. I recommend this gym to anyone, seasoned athletes and new comers alike.

2018-09-28As a health professional and Olympic Lifting (Strength and Conditioning) Coach myself I find it a pleasure and honor to work with Chris. Chris has hosted numerous meets at Bluewave that are always smooth running. He and all the lifters at Bluewave foster a great team environment and place highly at larger competitions. Chris focuses on sound movement, keeping his athletes physically healthy, is active in weightlifting politics and effectively manages numerous lifters, many high level, remotely and on site.

2016-12-12Bluewave is one of the most friendly gyms that I have visited in the DFW area. Chris really goes above and beyond as a coach and has a variety of robust training programs in many different areas of fitness. The best part is that Chris takes the time to work with each individuals strengths and weaknesses and truly cares about each and every one of his athletes and their progress.

2016-12-17As a Fort Worth native, Ive been searching for a good gym to help with my mountain biking fitness. I started blue wave about two months ago, and talk about a difference Chris Loflands training has made. An extremely experienced coach with an emphasis on improved mobility and overall fitness. His programs are perfect for any fitness level and definitely holds the best fitness programs in Fort Worth.

2017-01-14If your looking to get the most platform time, then this is the place! Chris (owner) is always available to coach and offer you his knowledge. What I love about this place is the ability to come in and train anytime, six days a week! The people here are very nice, encouraging and supportive. I love the small tight knit community without the cliquish feeling you might find at other gyms.

2016-12-12Chris has coached my 13 year old daughter for over a year now in Olympic Weightlifting. His knowledge and expertise is incredible. The atmosphere and community at BlueWave is awesome and welcoming, even for a 13 year old. The best gym in Fort Worth hands down.
