My husband and I were recently in Phoenix on vacation and were looking for a box close to our hotel to Oly lift here while in town (I am trying to qualify for masters nationals). Crossfit Full Strength was just a short taxi ride away so I emailed Gayle. She was very kind and had no problem with me being there just to lift. What I didn't realize before arriving in Phoenix is that they had a weightlifting class and the coach (Luz) was a former Olympian! I was thrilled, to say the least, and went to the class to see what I could learn from a woman with so much knowledge and experience! Paul greeted us at the front desk and was super friendly and very helpful in getting us signed in and set up. The members in the class that day were also very friendly and it was a lot of fun to be there lifting with them. Luz was amazing and so helpful!! Though overall she seemed to like what she saw (I am blessed to have a really awesome coach at home), she pointed out a couple of things I could work on to improve and I have been incorporating them into my routine with great results (ie, snatch PR!!). I also got to see a few of the Crossfit classes while I was there and noticed how thorough the coaching was, via Paul and Gayle. I am a certified personal trainer and a level I Crossfit coach myself, and I saw that they reviewed and broke down each move in the wod and truly emphasized technique and safety, ie, advising not to go too heavy without proper form. I could also see the connection that the coaches had with the members. It was a very positive atmosphere in a really great facility and we will definitely be back the next time we are in Phoenix! read more

I took my first crossfit class about a year and a half ago and was very drawn to everything it had to offer. I work in the fitness industry at a global gym and this was something new to me, fun, fresh, and different! I worked out at 2 gyms off and on and started learning a lot about crossfit, the movements, and the community. One day one of my friends told me to come meet up with her at full strength for a workout and from that day on crossfit was more than a just a occasional workout for me it was my workout. It wasn't that the workouts were different or not as good as any other gym it was the welcoming environment and community of full strength that pulled me in and pumped me up! Both the members and the coaches are awesome at full strength! Everyone is welcoming, encouraging, and laughing there way through the grueling workouts together! I love this place and feel completely at home! Gayle has done a wonderful job running full strength, I always look forward to going in getting my butt kicked, learning something new, and just being silly and having a good time! If you're tired of the same old routine or you're looking for a crossfit home I would absolutely check out full strength! There also in the works of moving to a bigger location in the same complex which is super exciting I can't wait! read more

This gym is just a wonderful break from the average, boring, meathead locker that most people are already paying a monthly subscription to and not even using. Fun, fast workouts that change everyday, build real, function muscle. Plenty of personal coaching, nutrition planning, a fun social environment. They have trainers that really care. They offer things such as basic ramp up programs that slow you down and introduce you to the movements so you build the right skill to move forward and not hurt yourself. Olympic lifting classes you you go get personal instruction on olympic lifts that many people would otherwise never even try. Stretching class with a certified PT you answer any questions and help you work out any of those new tight muscles you are building. I have been in and out of different gyms my entire life and I have NEVER seen results this quick. You really have no reason not to try this. Classes are 6 days a week. They are the best priced Crossfit in the valley. They do month to month with no contracts. Go in and try a classes for a week free and you will see how it is different and easy to become addicted too. And after one class you will leave with people calling you by your first name. When was the last time that has happened to you at a regular gym.....ever? read more

Do you like to feel like a complete badass? Do you enjoy being surrounded by friendly people? Do you value your health? If you answered yes to any of those then I would most definitely recommend checking out Crossfit Full Strength. I walked in to FS in July 2013, completely mortified and intimidated. I had only been "lifting" (read: likely doing things incorrectly) on my own at my local globo gym for a few months prior and wasn't sure what to expect. I was greeted by Gayle (coach and owner) and by the other members, who were super friendly and helpful. I had a blast and it kicked my ass. I've been going ever since. The coaches, Jeremy, Gayle, and Fernando, are very attentive and always ready to answer questions or help you with form, even when the classes run a little large. As I've mentioned more than a couple times previously, the members are all friendly, too...or at least the ones I've met. It's awesome to have other members encouraging you during a WOD that is making your body feel engulfed in napalm. Basically it comes down to this; I dig this place, a lot. I like lifting weights, I like the people, I like the good vibes it gives me, and I like the way it makes me look. 5 stars all day, everyday. read more

I have been coming to Full Strength for about 7 months. Before this, I had never done Crossfit or Olympic lifting before. I'm sad to say I was one of those girls who was afraid of getting "too bulky." Back in March, I saw a deal on Amazon local for a 16-class trial run at Full Strength, and saw that the gym was literally two minutes from my house, so I went ahead and tried it out. When I walked into the gym, I was super intimidated and almost changed my mind. Until Gayle, the owner, came up and introduced herself and then proceeded to walk me through the workout and proper form on the movements. I went through my 16 classes in about 3 weeks and immediately signed up for the unlimited monthly membership. The coaches at this gym make the health of the members a top priority. They don't push you to do anything you aren't ready for. Form is always prioritized over finishing first or lifting the heaviest. And if you're a newbie, every workout can be modified for beginners. The members are very friendly and supportive, and always willing to offer helpful advice. I highly recommend Crossfit Full Strength for both beginner and advanced Crossfitters. read more

I stepped into Full Strength about 5 months ago because a regular gym just wasn't cutting it for me - I would go two or three times a week for a couple of hours but showed no results. I had no motivation so I would drag myself to the gym and just doodle around on the machines to make myself feel like I was making progress. The Full Strength coaches immediately made me feel welcome, regardless of the fact that I had no weight lifting experience and seriously lacked in strength. I started with the 101 class and quickly learned the fundamental movements. The coaches are very good at scaling workouts for new members so that everyone can finish the WOD without any injuries! I love that classes are offered at so many different times throughout the day, and on weekends. The members and coaches are all very friendly and I now feel right at home when I walk into the gym. Members are encouraged to wipe down equipment after they use it but the coaches and cleaning crew also play a big role in keeping this gym clean and organized. I would recommend this gym for anyone - from beginners to experts! read more

This was the first time for both me and my friend doing crossfit and Im not going to lie, I was a little nervous about it but I felt welcomed the moment I walked in the door. The coaches were extremely nice and Torri took the time to show us the proper form and worked back and forth with us throughout the entire class. There wasnt a moment where I felt lost or didnt know what I was doing. Everyone there is very encouraging and supportive. I already cant wait to go back and I will definitely be recommending Crossfit Full Strength to my friends. I would also like to mention how great the communication is with Gayle (the owner). I received a couple of emails from her leading up to my first day going and asking me if I had any questions for her and what to expect for my first class. She replied back to all my emails very quickly and was extremely friendly. Definitely a great group of people here! read more

Woohoo! As good as it gets! IS RIGHT! I love Crossfit Full Strength. The workouts are great and intense, and the environment is awesome. The coaches are very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly, and all the members are super fun to be around. I've been a member for about 6 months now, and I've never been happier with my gym. Crossfit is definitely a hard workout regime, but it produces results in a fun and healthy way. The coaches are also very knowledgeable about nutrition, and are willing to help members modify their diets to help reach their fitness goals. There are many opportunities for socializing outside the WODs as well. We have holiday parties, level testing parties, and its not uncommon to get a group together for dinner or drinks after a workout. If you're serious about incorporating fitness into your lifestyle, crossfit is the way to go at CROSSFIT FULL STRENGTH! BOOM! read more

I recently went in for an intro session at Crossfit Full Strength. I was a member of a different box a few years ago in Washington State, so am familiar with what Crossfit is all about. Coach Gayle gave me a tour of the gym, reviewed their program and class schedule and put me through their baseline test providing appropriate scaling where needed. For a variety of medical and physical reasons, I need to scale pretty much every exercise and Gayle showed me the best ways for me to do that to make sure I was doing the exercise correctly. She was a great coach. I went back the next day for a class and Cory was the coach. There were probably 15 or so people in the class...people were friendly and encouraging. It sounds like they have a great Crossfit community with regular happy hours, potlucks and group activities. I ended up signing up for a membership and look forward to continuing. read more

Crossfit Full Strength has been great so far! As someone who has never done crossfit before this was a great place to start. The coaches have been very supportive and welcoming and so have the classmates. Everyone is very encouraging. The WOD is always something new and exciting. Gayle has been great at answering questions and giving good feedback. I have emailed her a few times with different questions and she has gotten back to me right away. The only thing I would like to point out is that it would be good for anyone who is new to look up the exact location on their website before you go. I struggled finding the location the first time because my GPS didn't take me directly there. I have been going about 5 days a week and will continue after my groupon is up with an unlimited pass. I definitely recommend it! read more

I got a month membership to Crossfit Full Strength on groupon and it has been great. The location is close to my house which is awesome because I have been used to driving 30min each way for a quality gym. They have great instructors that have really taken their time to make me feel welcome and correct my form. I really enjoy having someone make a workout program for me. The workouts are unique that keep me interested, and well thought out. I like that if I have a hard workout and a certain part of my body is really sore, there generally isn't much of that movement in the next workout, so that I can go daily without risking overtraining. It is a relatively small space, but it is packed with equipment so it ends up working just fine. Also the other members have been really nice. read more

I've been crossfitting for a couple of years, making due working out on my own, in a home gym &/or at the local Globo gym. Decided to give the Full Strength box a shot on a whim, and I gotta say it's been awesome - a difference maker. I've made huge gains in the couple of months that I've there. Three things that stand out: 1) Coaching - they've got an awesome coaching staff, fully certified - including Olympic lifting. Great coaching pointers to optimize your game. 2) Community - members are really cool, supportive and competitive, and CFFS builds a real sense of camaraderie at their box. 3) Equipment - they've got the space, setup and equipment to get a good WOD in. You really can't beat their setup with home or Globo gym alternatives. read more

Excellent BOX! Dropped in while on business and would highly recommend to anyone that is actually serious about CrossFit. No, there aren't any 'mirrors' and honestly have to laugh that someone was actually misinformed enough to even think that was a requirement for a CrossFit box. DUH! All of the bad reviews on this place are opinions for folks who obviously should be looking for a GloboGym, not a legit CrossFit box. Gayle and Emily are outstanding, knowledgeable and focused trainers in their discipline and should be commended for running such a solid place. How can you go wrong with qualified CFG Regional Trainers? CMON Man!! Will drop in again next time I am in Phoenix. Thanks for the hospitality!!! - Mike S read more

An update. After the second week I stopped attending. The instructors were great, however I was working with a previous rotator cuff injury. I hoped they could give a viable option that worked. They did some modifications, however it further aggravated my old injury. I enjoyed the portions of the class that didn't aggravate my injury. Overall, the participants range from all ages, sizes and fitness abilities/inabilities. The cost...well you'd save $50.00 by joining their gym and have access to unlimited classes vs. being able to only attend the "Fitness Challenge" class. You'd still get the nice attentiveness from the staff/owner, be able to have time flexibility, and select your class(es). read more

I was in town for the week and looking for a box close to my hotel to get my workouts in this week. I left a voice mail the night before re the drop in policy and Gayle got right back to me via test to come on down. Had two great work outs with trainer Lance. He introduced me to everyone at the start of each workout, really welcomed me in and made me feel at home. He filled me in on their periodization programing and that this week was a peak strength focus with lots of PR's taking place. This box has a cool motivating vibe and with the athletes I met it made for an encouraging atmosphere to do crossfit training. This is my new box away from home. read more

I love going to work out at Full Strength! I had always wanted to try a Crossfit box so when this deal showed up I jumped on it! The coaches are enthusiastic to help all members; they correct form and give efficient tips as needed. All the coaches are extremely knowledgeable about scaling exercises. I have injuries that I am working through and there is always a suitable alternative so that my workout still kicks my ass without hurting me further! The owner of the gym, Gayle, is an extremely sweet person and takes our health and well-being very personally. It is an amazing thing to find so many friendly people in one place! read more

The gym prides itself as being one of the top gyms in the city and can back it up with experience and amazing coaches. Our coaches range from Regional Competitors to Olympic Athletes. This gym is for everyone and all levels. We have something for everyone. Our facility is brand new and we have top grade equipment. The locker room and kids area is just an added bonus. Come in and try out your first class for free. You won't regret it! The members are friendly, helpful, supportive, and just awesome. You will walk out feeling like a new person after day 1. Come join the Full Strength family that has been growing for 6 years! read more

Hands down the best crossfit gym in town. Their coaches range from an Olympian to regional competitors. Instantly you can tell why they are the oldest crossfit in town. Their equipment is always top notch. If you are into Olympic lifting they have a beginner and high performance programd with all Pendlay bars and competition plates. Not experienced??? No problem. They walk you through everything and take the intimidation out of the gym. The members will overwhelm you with friendliness. Nothing less than 5 stars. Gayle is OCD with communication so you are never waiting for a reply. read more

By far the best crossfit gym I've ever been too. Everyone is very welcoming and knows their stuff. I have made many new friends within the gym which makes it more fun while you are working your ass off. The coaches are super supportive and smart. They know everything about crossfit and what you need to do to get better. During every session so far, the coaches take their time and guide you through the correct form and ways to help you become stronger. I look forward to going to the 5:15 am sessions everyday because of all of these reasons. The owner definitely knows what she is doing! read more
