Updated after 5 years of playing in the kickball and dodgeball leagues. Overall, Clubwaka in Abq is…read morepretty clutch. I don't feel there is enough variety of activities for the young professionals in Albuquerque. That said, if you want to get away from the gym, work, life stress, and spend time making friends in a boozy fraternity like atmosphere then this is the right scene for you. It's a great forum for meeting lots of people (if in kickball, it's mostly for drinking and less athletic, with dodgeball it's inverse to that), with a range of interests including drinking, hooking up, and being somewhat athletic (aka glory days). Kickball is great for fun times and making you curse more in a game than you have in a year when your 'fun' team gets crushed by the competitive teams. Dodgeball is crazy competitive and exhilarating in its own way...but the drinks don't flow as much, at least til after the games. Both these leagues, plus the others, reward membership with a T-shirt and 2 open bars (mid and end season parties). Overall for $70 it's a great way to get away to college life again, just be sure to keep your day to day on the DL. No ones got time for your adulting.

Playing ball in this league definitely had its fun moments. However, the peer-based reffing system…read morelends itself to a pretty obvious bias toward inner-circle kickballers who have been around the league a while. If you're part of the "in crowd" calls get made in your favor, and if you're a newbie team or a less than "elite" team, there's really nothing you can do about it. It's also pretty obvious that the league's leadership wants to be well liked by the cool kids because they simply pretend like none of this is going on and any feedback or constructive criticism of the structure falls on deaf ears. Kickball is fun, don't get me wrong, but way too many people in this league think it's all there is to life. You'll find out quickly enough just how awesome their mad kickball skills are because they will let you know constantly...even in the rec/beginner league. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed way to play with people who like kickball, but have a life outside of it...I'd look elsewhere. After more than 5 seasons, I'll be looking for a new league to play in and so will my team. :)

I started to go to this gym a couple of weeks ago and wow! The staff are very friendly and there's…read morea variety of classes. I joined this gym because they have classes early in the morning and that go until 7PM which is great for people who work a normal 8-5 and can hit the gym either before or after work. The class instructors are amazing at explaining how the class runs and helps you out with what equipment you'll need prior to the class starting. Highly recommend going here!

I'm a big fan of defined fitness in general. I've been to every location. My family recently…read morerelocated to Rio Rancho and this is now our designated location. The good: The gym is jam-packed with equipment for everything you could possibly want to do. The counter staff are friendly, and there's childcare for the kids. Everything is pretty decently maintained. There's a ton of different machines for all types of workouts, a pool, classes -- by this merit alone this gym is better than planet fitness! Haha. The bad: Always packed. Some of the machines are facing each other which is really awkward (having someone stare into your eyes while you're exercising your hip flexors....yeah awkward!!) and as with any gym there are meatheads and bros -- but I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing (I know some people do, though). It's a quality gym, just wish it was bigger like the other locations. Also, price is a factor BUT there are tons of employee discounts offered. Still more affordable than sports and wellness! Haha.

There has been a concerted effort to hide this post, by giving false information to Yelp, and Next…read moreDoor and by posting defamatory lies. Because of this concerted effort to hide the truth a PowerPoint closed caption video has been created transcribing the audio of the conversation with the security director. There may be two sides to any story implying deceit, embellishment, dishonesty, and aggrandizement by one or both sides. However, the recorded audio of the conversation can only present the conversation as it happened. The audio close caption power point is available on YouTube: URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upQiSAcn3IM or search in youtube for "Threat of Physical Gun Violence at JCC of Albuquerque" As a member of JCC, I participated almost solely in lifting weights and the use of the men's locker room. My experiences in those areas have been excellent: the weightlifting equipment is maintained to a high level, and the locker room, shower, and steam room are always very clean. The staff in the weightlifting area have been very helpful, especially, Chris who has given me great advice on how to exercise properly. But it is totally unacceptable for any member, employee and especially a security director to threaten with a badge and gun. See slide 22. It is totally unacceptable for the security director not to contact the offending party when that activity can result in injury and even death. It is totally unacceptable to revoke a membership because that member has reported offending, dangerous, and abnormal behavior. This offending dangerous behavior has been reported for over 40 days to JCC and has been known by employees and members for much longer than 40 days. There is no excuse for not contacting the known offending party. There is no excuse for not posting parking signs, "Consider Others Park Between The Lines, Violators Will Be Towed". The cost of 3 signs is less than $150. JCC has signs implying secure your belongings in the parking lot. Why do they have these signs and not similar parking signs? To say that I refused to leave JCC is deceitful, not supported by the video. To imply that I am upset at no longer being a JCC membership is highly misleading and defamatory. The last statement made to the Security Director is "If you want to revoke my membership, do it. See slide 23. To imply that I am the problem is an opinion. View and listen to the audio video of the conversation make your own determination.

And if you like pushing yourself to the max, you can kill a whole day here. They say time flies when you're having fun, and my only ultimate wish is if this were open longer. Come give it a try. Everyone at this gym is cognizant of their responsibility to take care of the equipment you use, and to be respectful to your fellow patrons. Anyway. Come give it a try. Been coming for 3 years and have yet to be sorry I have.

Horrible experience with this club. Terrible coaches that ended my child's love for volleyballread more

If you want your child to stop loving the sport and have their mental and emotional health messed…read morewith this is the place to go. This club is all about the wins and about the teams making it to Nationals. Sure that's good but not when it's at the cost of a kids dream. So yes what Michelle T wrote is absolutely true. You are just another paycheck to them. The coaches will only play their favorite players. When you address the problem and why not all players are getting playing time they pawn it off on the kid and say it's because they aren't putting in the work at practice or they guarantee practice time not playing time. So the kid then thinks they are the issue and aren't working hard enough so they start to put twice as much effort in at each practice but the coache's will still not pay attention to them and only focus on the favorite players. This starts taking a toll on the kid and they start to hate playing or going to practice. You reach out to the coache's and club directors again and you get the same lame excuse as before except this time with "they should be happy to just be on the team and support their teammates". When you've sat there watching each practice and saw how this kid put twice as much effort and heart into thing than the favorites. Also I think any parent would be upset with these words because if we wanted our kids to be chearleaders we would of put them in a cheer squad not volleyball. The fact that you pay the same as any other parent should guarantee play time as well. Maybe not the same playing time as the favorite players but at least some. These clubs are meant to prepare these kids for the possibility of playing in college. If you didn't think a kid was good enough to play on the court in a tournament why offer them the spot on the team?

CrossFit is all about community and the community here is absolutely incredible…read more I dropped in to 9am on a Monday. My Lyft driver dropped me off at the front entrance. The entrance is towards the back of the building and I was a little confused but then saw people walking that direction, so it all made sense. I was greeted right away by members. First up were heavy back squats and I was immediately approached by a member asking if I wanted to share a rack with her. That made me feel so at ease since there aren't a lot of racks. She was so friendly! The coaching was on point and the energy levels were high. When I was walking out, I had two different members ask me if I needed a ride anywhere. How awesome is that?! Anyway, this place has a super friendly vibe and an amazing community. I'm so happy to have dropped in here and will definitely be back the next time I'm in town. I love seeing crossfit communities thrive like this post pandemic. It's so heartwarming.

The class was also super warm and inviting and the coach led us through a great warmup. The class I attended was very barbell heavy and seemed to have a strong focus on strength which was fantastic for me.

There seems to be a strong sense of community here and would highly recommend coming here if you're just visiting or looking for a way to take fitness to the next level!
