Dauntless Academy | Exeter CrossFit

I gave this gym a 5 star review two years ago and I have to give it 5 stars again. For two years the Dauntless atmosphere, community, and coaching has showed me I am capable of so much more than I think I am, and that I am only just beginning to pursue the peak of my health and success. But I have to give them special kudos today for their handling of the past several months. The Dauntless professional and coaching staff have done a tremendous job making sure their members can prioritize their health in more ways than ever before. Dauntless has remained mindful of the situation at hand and scheduling workouts and capacity accordingly. They have adjusted so many elements of their business in order to keep us safe while coming together in small groups to get a good sweat on, using barbells and the rig and more. My friends who attend other gyms have mentioned noticeable declines in cleaning processes already; not at Dauntless. They've stayed vigilant with the cleaning processes they kicked in when they first reopened. They have also released more nutrition programming to support us outside of the gym; something we can improve and control no matter what the state of the world becomes. They've kept in close communication with members about changes, and held focus groups with members to prepare for whatever comes next, trying to ensure they can add value to our lives despite any future mandates, which I think says a lot about how they care for their community. I've just been so impressed with what this small business has been able to accomplish and maintain under so many challenges. I am more motivated and committed to fitness than ever! And it's all thanks to their approach to all this. If you're looking to change your life for the better, look no further. If you're looking for a gym that will take care of you, and really has your best interest in mind, come to Dauntless!

Dauntless Academy is a fantastic gym! Their coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive! The positive and encouraging attitude displayed by the coaches absolutely makes this place stand out from other CrossFit gyms I’ve been to. From the staff to the members they are truly one big welcoming family!!! You can tell the facility was recently updated.. the gym is very clean and is HUGE!!! Tons of space, equipment, and parking!!! No need to worry about class size here!!! They have THREE bathrooms! You can tell there is a lot of heart, soul, and dedication that goes into this facility! I highly recommend!!!

Really loving this place! Elliot is a helpful and motivating coach, members have all been super nice, workouts are well planned. For the first time in a long time I am looking forward to exercise! These guys clearly know what they’re doing.

EverProven Ex is a fantastic second location to complement the Dover location. Fantastic community, clean facility, and great equipment. Elliott is an excellent coach who brings the hype along with his knowledge and expertise. He always gives thoughtful feedback and cues no matter your experience level.nnHighly recommended!

I started at this Crossfit gym already having a pretty serious back injury that I knew would require surgery. I ended up having back surgery about 8 months after I joined. That was a year ago and I can't say enough good things about the coaches and staff at Dauntless. Elliot helped me right from the start with my movement and programming specific exercises to strengthen my back and core. And when I started back in class after a few months of personal training, Meg would think of scaling options and modifications for each and every workout. I never felt like a burden for being in class and not able to do any of the prescribed exercises. I was someone who they actually wanted to see heal and start to move better. And I'm not that special. All the coaches pay equal attention to everyone in class, whether you've been doing Crossfit for years or for days. After working with both of these coaches over this past year I can say I am moving better than I have in years. I can't recommend this gym enough, no matter your fitness level or your physical abilities. Just show up and give your all and thats it.
