They make you sign a three month contract for close to $1000 and then try to force you to go longer by making you jump through hoops filling out forms to stop your contract. they cheated me out of one session valued at $70 that I was forced to pre-pay for. Their scheduling and appt. reminders are atrocious. The only thing good about the place were the actual stretch technicians. They were all very sincere and good. But because of the slimy office management I would not recommend this place whatsoever.

Thank you so much!…read more We are currently on a road trip and had to get our daily workout, and this "box" was perfect! It was a GREAT drop-in workout with cardio and weights. And our coach (I'm sorry I missed her name but she had the faded rainbow hair with one side cut short) was knowledgeable and attentive, and really encouraged us through the workout! We also brought our two daughters, and when the music got a little explicit, she switched the songs. She didn't have to, as the words were fast enough and our girls were entertained and distracted by the pups sitting off to the side that they didn't notice, but she did and she took the initiative, and I was VERY appreciative. It was one of those little things that went above and beyond and I was grateful. We loved it and will for sure come in again next summer on our 2020 road trip to Missouri! (This year it's Maryland).

Crossfit. This word…read moreconjures up so many images. Knee socks, Bandanas, Bacon, Pull ups, Microscopic Shorts, Plate Weights, Chalk, and Bacon. Yes -bacon is worthy of 2 mentions. I've been a member of Burque's active community for a few years (let's get real- gym rat, exercise junkie, person on the Bosque that says on your left waaay louder than deemed necessary). I started hearing more and more about Crossfit and decided to investigate the legit way- YouTube. I was blown away watching these terrifying feats of strength/endurance and immediately thought not my scene. Saying you can't do something is lame- and certainly not how Mr. Rogers raised me to think. I woke up one morning and decided to take the plunge in the world of badassery (yeah that's a word now) I rolled up to Sandia Crossfit thinking "Will I survive? I'm going to be the only person without knee socks....I cant do a pull up if a kittens life depended on it" One free intro class later I was hooked. (Saturday 11-12 free intro hour) Sandia Crossfit is the only gym I've seen that takes "Anyone can crossfit" to heart. The workouts are tailored to your own capabilities, you will be able to participate no matter your fitness background/limitations. The instructors are knowledgable and genuinely want to help you get the most out of the class- quickly offering adjustments, modifications ( or in my case- pushing me to the level I want to be). Classes are an hour comprising of warmup workout, technique work, and lastly a WOD that will give you that endorphin rush you've been jonesing for. They also offer functional yoga as well as mobility (Mobility is taught by a physical therapist at no extra cost- seriously) Paleo pot lucks, snow shoe outings, swim wods? I can't say enough about my love for this place, the people that run it, or the sport of Crossfit.

"Kaya" is just part of the problem. She was rude and offered no solutions…read more We simply wanted to drop me off of my wife's account as I work out elsewhere. My wife (as the primary account holder) has attempted to do this several times over the last two months. She followed the suggested steps but apparently was not taken seriously as she is female. BEWARE! This company will NEVER stop charging your card and will NOT give you a way to cancel a membership. Looking forward to a phone call from the manager. We'll see if that actually happens.

So, I (sort of reluctantly) used my workplace perks to get a fitness membership as a step to enable me to stay healthy. I like this gym because they have many different locations that you can go to within ABQ. There are also many different things that you can do at a gym, by they volleyball, swimming, squash, swimming, instructor-led classes, weight/strength training..and hot tub & sauna, etc. I particularly like that the gym is clean, never seemed to be so crowded at all. I've gone there during weekdays and/or weekends...and while weekends there seemed to be more people...there were plenty of room to choose and do your own exercise (partly because the membership here is slightly more expensive, too). Enjoy it a lot and excited to have my own peace exercising without judgement/crowd that usually turn me away from those establishments. Look forward to frequenting this place more often.

There are a lot of thoughtful details in the gym, like private showers and a juice/coffee bar, and of course all the classic Crossfit equipment. I've really been loving working out with others again, without being too cramped inside. There are a lot of class times and additional fun offerings like yoga on some Saturdays & community potlucks. First class free!

As a gym junkie, I can state with authority that I know the fitness scene in Albuquerque, and this…read moreSpenga place is legit. Over the past decade, I've graciously bled pools of sweat in gyms all over this metro, from CrossFit barns to bootcamp-style conditioning, most recently completing about 18 months at Orangetheory, where I sustained several minor and debilitating injuries. I gave it my all, spent a pretty penny on physical therapy, and finally decided to ditch the treadmill for spin classes. But Spenga's much more than a spin scene. You do 20 minutes on a bike, 20 more on the floor (free weights, kettlebell, TRX, BOSU), and 20 minutes of yoga. Originally, I definitely had reservations, but now that I'm about two months in, I can emphatically state the following: * I burn 700-900 calories per class * The yoga is super good for me * The music's pretty good (better than OTF) * It's more affordable than OTF * The instructors are polished and personable * The facility is spacious and clean * I'm injury free From a community standpoint, this place is more of a drop-in-get-it-done-and-leave kinda situation, which is great with me, but if you're more motivated by a gym full of besties, look elsewhere. I'll note they could get better at correcting form, and I would appreciate more class options, but I've never lost a penny from a late cancellation (there's no need to reserve ahead of time) and I could be wrong, but I think I'm actually seeing the results of these workouts. My wife warned me not to pen this review; she wants to keep the place to herself. Sorry, Laura, now everybody knows.

I really wanted to like this place but I wasn't even allowed to take the class. I was 10 minutes…read moreearly, but they wouldn't let me in unless I got to class 15-20 minutes early. They didn't even ask if I had experience with spin because I have years of experience in spin bikes and was looking forward to a class to take advantage of after having a newborn at home. Unfortunately, I likely won't be able to come back to try this place for months to come. Had I liked my session tonight, I had planned on working out a schedule with my caregiver and partner so I could workout here a few times a week and purchasing a monthly package. I guess I won't be doing that now. I had actually signed up for here before they opened that's how excited I was for this place but then I was pregnant and put on restriction. I guess it wasn't meant to be. They probably don't care about my money anyway.
