| - Summarized review for those on a time crunch:
*Great staff running the gym, attentive to all questions.
*Experienced coaches with emphasis on form correction.
*Location is huge with updated equipment; They purchase new stuff as they grow.
*I was fat; I'm less fat now and lift heavy things.
*Changing from a regular gym (LA Fitness/Golds) to CrossFit was a game changer; Provided me with the accountability I needed to push myself and hit goals and coaches that helped me get there (without injuring myself!)
Full review for those wanting more information:
I joined last May because I needed to change my workout routine. What I was doing simply wasn't working anymore and the accountability to put in the hard work wasn't there while going to a regular gym (i.e. LA Fitness, Gold's, 24 Hour Fitness). I didn't know anyone from Cactus CrossFit so I was jumping into a world I had no knowledge about.
My Experience: I'm a 28 year old male, 6'2", 215 lbs. Since I joined I have improved almost every measurable attribute of myself over the past 10 months. I lost 17 pound and hit under 200 pounds for the first time since college while increasing my strength regarding my lifts. I had horrible cardio endurance when I began, gasping during every grueling workout, while I'm still getting my butt kicked every workout I feel my endurance during my cardio workouts has greatly increased. I'll never be one to knock the traditional gym atmosphere but Cactus CrossFit is my new home away from home. I've found a new outlook on fitness and health, while surrounding myself with some amazing people that have made gasping on the floor in accomplished agony a fun experience.
Staff: I don't have a negative experience with any of the staff. They are always there to answer my question and provide me with the resources I need. As for the coaches one of the main complains you hear about CrossFit in general is the quality of the coaches and I am extremely grateful the coaches at Cactus CrossFit. They are there to correct my form and do everything they can to provide me with the patience and instruction for me to learn proper form and weight scaling for lifts so that I can avoid injury while increasing my strength. They watch you diligently during the workouts so they can prevent bad technique. I've been stopped many times when I was using weights that hurt my form and have been pulled aside to work on how to fix technique or my mobility on multiple instances. Cactus CrossFit staff is top notch. They are the primary reason I've stayed.
Location/Equipment: Everything is top notch and if they ever have equipment that isn't functioning property or has seen excessive wear they typically have a replacement when needed. They have been growing over time and their new location is huge to accommodate their success.
Price: Comparable to other CrossFit gyms and what you get (i.e. location, equipment, misc perks). For those that have paid for personal trainers gyms I'm not sure how the price could be too much. Even though the classes are as groups I get 1 on 1 help anytime I've had a question.
This was probably too long of a review for anyone to read, but if you did, CONGRATS! You can now hit the RX button in Wodify (which they use and I have no clue how any box could function without it)!
