Sandia CrossFit

This place feels like a cult or a gang. These people act like they are on steroids and it gives me a bad feeling. I don't think they know what they are doing. And the workout took place in a garage, not a real gym. Weird. People who drop weights don't know how to lift them.

Super cool people here. Very impressed with the knowledge of each of the trainers. Very focused on correct technique for every lift. So welcoming, it can be intimidating to go to a new gym and the gym nuts get scary, it makes you want to just sleep in instead of working out. This place is not that! Just a bunch of people of all ages that want to get fit, feel good, and have fun doing it.

I'm a 68 y/o retired nurse who works out everyday there. You start with a 6 week unisex boot camp. This boot camp provides you with a nutrition primer. It also tea he's you the correct way to lift and do strength training. During this 6 weeks you do strength training and a workout. If you need modifications they help you with them. After the 6 weeks you begin coming to any of the classes we have. We are an extremely friendly gym, people look out for one another and are there to ask questions. Each class has a very qualified trainer who watches and corrects your form during the hour workout. Each hour has both strength training and a workout. Yoga and physical therapy is also available at the gym. I have worked out there for three years and love what I do there as well as the people, they are my family.😊😊

This gym has different programs for weightlifting, CrossFit, and boot camps throughout the year and is very flexible with your schedule and has really helpful trainers to help you succeed with your different goals. Definitely check it out in person for yourself!

I joined Sandia Crossfit when I moved to Abq 2 years ago, and it was the best decision I made. If I had not come, I would have probably failed at any fitness goals and been much unhealthier. I started in the boot camp, which simultaneously teaches the basics of weightlifting and crossfit movement techniques while not being overwhelming for a beginner. The class itself is well-programmed to be challenging for anyone at any level - the trainers give plenty of scaling options, and are super willing to accomodate more specific needs (i.e. I sprained my wrist [not by doing crossfit] and they gave me movements to do that would keep me from using my wrist but would still target all muscle groups). They offer a variety of programs, and unlike most boxes they are focused on a more holistic version of fitness - they have a program specifically for Olympic lifting, but they also include Oly training as a staple in their regular programming on top of Metcons. The trainers are super attentive during class, watching you to make sure you don't injure yourself, and are very willing to give you one-on-one attention to improve your technique. The people that attend are very friendly and relaxed, but if you're the type of person who just wants to work out and be anti-social (me) they also respect that. Highly recommended for drop-ins (if you ask, you'll get lots of suggestions for cool local things to do if you're visiting) and highly recommended for membership as the team are very focused on getting you to your end goals. As a side note, SCF also is home to the Coolest Barbell Club Ever, who participate in local and national Olympic Weightlifting competitions. It's a ton of fun - check it out!
