Wow, just what Crossfit should be in the Old Pueblo. Really cool old building in the barrio, just oozing Tucson character. My wife and I visited last week for a quick getaway vacation, and wanted to keep up with our workouts to offset all the cheese, carne seca and margaritas we knew we'd be consuming. Contacted Wildcat Crossfit and dropped in first for their Sunday community workout. Lori was the coach and instantly welcomed us--She's a great coach and utterly hilarious. The workout was solid with a mix of pullups, running and kettlebells. We dropped in several more times and it was like we were regular members! We also met the owner Jen, who was also super friendly. Couldn't recommend the gym more-- Good programming, cool (yuge) space, no douchebaggery, and awesome people. Oh, and it's also close to Roma Imports, which is an amazing place to go undo all the hard work you just did with a Matt's Special sandwich :) read more

I don't give many reviews, and this might be a little bias granted my relationship with Wildcat... but this gym ROCKS! Highly suggest coming in and kickin' it with the WildCat Gang. read more

While this might be a good place to drop in for a workout, I would recommend not investing your time, energy and money here if you have aspirations of growing within the CrossFit community or transitioning into coaching. All for one reason: the owner. From the owner, you can expect to be belittled if you get injured (very common in Olympic lifting), have any physical insecurities you share used against you, and be ostracized if you need to take a break from CrossFit. It all comes down to the membership dues: any tact will be taken to make sure you keep paying whether you're using the gym or not. With so many boxes to choose from, I would recommend any long term commitments be made somewhere else. read more

Jess was very friendly and welcoming. The facility the nicest CrossFit gym in Tucson. Large space, clean and organized. The restrooms were the same. Jess was friendly, knowledgeable and motivating. She not only knew how to explain and demonstrate the exercises, she also monitored everyone's technique and told you if it was good or gave pointers if you needed help. This is how a CrossFit gym should be run. Visit WildCat CrossFit when you're in Tucson. read more

Visited Tucson and dropped in for two workouts. They were challenging and exactly what I expected from a class setting.

AWESOME Noah is great to everyone and works hard and dedicates most of his days working

Very friendly and welcoming staff, very helpful and some great technical classes for lifting. I was a drop in from Colorado and they pushed me pretty good, workouts where tough. I attended the Olympic Lifting Class and the Endurance Class. it kicked me butt. I bought a t shirt and got a free workout. read more

Great team environment and challenging workouts!!! Definitely drop in and get in a great workout.

I was visiting from DC and Noah responded quickly to me inquiry about dropping in for a class. The box is very open, has a separate room for weightlifting, but also has an area that's cafe-ish for people to just hang out. I dropped in on a Saturday class. Eric was the coach that day with the workout being heavy cleans and a metcon of running, kb swings, and box jumps. Eric was a decent coach, had good cues about cleans for the members. I wish they had women's bars instead of just the men's and training bars. The best part about the gym? They have an awesome shirt that says, "CrossFit, it's awful." So true! Awfully awesome! read more

I started graduate school two years ago and packed on extra pounds really quickly. My partner, who works at home, and I have tried a lot of things to lose weight, be more active, exercise, burn fat, whatever. But we've never really had success because nothing was sustainable or consistent. While driving around the Old Barrio we noticed this blue door with "Wildcat Crossfit" on it and were like "Woah, crossfit? That's that thing Hugh Jackman and the guys from 300 did right?" While that's not quite accurate it was enough for us to look into the gym and plan to join once the spring semester ended. Wildcat offers skills classes for people interested in joining but over the summer they actually scheduled one on one sessions with potential members. We got a whole bunch of people together and signed up. There were of six of us that went to the classes, which were instructed by Eric, and by the end of that week, we all joined. I think I went on Saturday and joined on Monday. After that one on one training where we went through all of the motions, learned about crossfit's design, and met the people who worked and go there, I couldn't imagine going to another place. I work at the University so I have free access to a gym but that isn't what I need or want. In order to be healthy, happy, and consistent with your workouts you need a community of people who are knowledgeable and motivated. From the trainers to the people who go there you get that every single time. I joined at the end of May, going about 2 - 3 times a week. Right now I try to get in 4 - 5 times a week. My dream is to go everyday but Sunday! They offer open gym hours on Saturdays, which have been really great to do that WOD (workout of the day) you missed, or to work on your skills. They have yoga Wednesday nights with Monica, that are a great resource that is free to members. I also met with Noah for our free nutritional consultation and started the Whole30 plan, which is a great introduction to a whole food or paleo lifestyle. They also have monthly "Full Moon Workouts" and barbecues. "Going to the gym" isn't in my vocabulary anymore. I crossfit, and I do it with a ton of people who are really positive, fun, and encouraging. As for results they are undoubtedly there. I've lost weight, my clothes fit and look better, my skin has cleared up, and my stress levels are way down. However, I might have an addiction to crossfit! But honestly, the biggest thing I've gotten out of joining Wildcat Crossfit is that I don't freaking care anymore about my weight. I just want to be healthy and strong. I am doing things I never thought I could do: push press 85lbs? How many times? Yeah okay, I got that. This place is incredible: chill people who want to have fun and be fit; a child and pet friendly place; a good community for paleo; and knowledgeable trainers. That's a pretty solid package. read more

If you are new to Tucson or new to Crossfit, I would highly recommend coming to Wildcat Crossfit. This is a very supportive, welcoming community to athletes of all levels. WCF feels like family. The staff and its members are here to push you and encourage you to excel. Please stop by. read more

Bottom line--since we joined this gym, my boyfriend and I have lost 20 pounds EACH! We're wearing clothes that haven't fit in years, looking younger and trimmer than ever, and we're still losing weight and building muscle. It takes less than 3 hours a week. If you're ready to do the work, this is the place! Great, individualized instruction, a supportive atmosphere, and a "paleolithic" community barbecue every Friday night! You don't have to be an elite athlete to do it. We were in sad shape when we walked through the door. Neither of us are gym or exercise people. We were just tired of being overweight and out of shape. It can be hard work, but it gets results. Having friendly, smart, encouraging trainers is a great motivator. Plus, the people you work out with are great. Everyone helps everyone out and it's a real community. read more

I been part of wildcat family for about 4 years. I love my gym and all the coaches! Everyone is so friendly here.

What can I say, home away from home!! Here for the thanksgiving holiday and the crew at Wildcat has made my vacation.. If your in the Tucson area do a drop in!! There professional and very welcoming. It was a warm welcome.. Glad to have been part of it for the 4 days I was here. read more

When you're trying something so completely new and almost alien to you, it's good to know what you're getting into. Although I'd seen some ridiculous videos of CrossFit, I had no clue just how hardcore this workout really was until I tried it at Wildcat CrossFit. Luckily, the folks at Wildcat have a three week introduction to the program that's totally free. They introduce you to the theories behind the workouts, basic techniques, and even give you a nutrition lesson. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. It made getting up for the 6:30am workouts just a little more bearable when the trainer Jen offered me some coffee as I walked in. I was totally impressed with everything, and I definitely got a workout. I've been a gym rat basically my whole life, and I'm one of the few girls who can actually do a pull-up. I was worked SO hard, and I felt every muscle we concentrated on the next day. I'm only hoping I can make enough bucks to sign up for the real program - luckily they have student discounts. I'll definitely be back! read more

I just signed up to work out here for the next 2 months. I wanted to try something different than a regular gym. I met up with Noah, and he helped me figure out what I needed to do to get to my goal weight. I can't wait to write an update! read more

Interesting style. Open gym with different areas. They have a room for heavy lifters. They were finishing up a cross fit class. Very intense workout regime. Tai chi was very laid back teaching the long form. All basics. Very relaxing. Good for stretching. read more

I dropped in while visiting Tucson recently. Had a really great workout, beautiful space, good instruction, would definitely visit again if I'm in the area!! read more

When I found Wildcat I was looking for a gym that would challenge me and make me strong and it has done that and more. I had a gym membership to LA fitness but I always felt judged and unmotivated. Being a woman I always felt intimidated by the men there and could feel their stares on me as I lifted. Now, I love working out! I look forward to it. I always have friendly faces greeting me, I am encouraged by my fellow gym members and they cheer me on when I think I can't go any further. Most importantly, I have never felt judged or intimidated. This is a great place full of amazing people and I am proud to call this gym my home. read more

I trained here for a few months with Nick last fall. The place is fantastic and the staff is super chill and down to earth. There are no attitudes and no pretentiousness (most Crossfit gyms/gyms in general have that type of guy/gal who walks around all hot to trot because they have abs and muscles you could do laundry on-but not here). I only stopped because I ran into financial troubles, otherwise I would continue to go here. Great building too. read more

I am in Tucson visiting family for the holidays. There was no way I was taking an entire week off, so I did some looking around and found Wildcat. I could NOT be happier with my choice. Eric was so welcoming yet very professional, knowledgable and well versed in many aspects of fitness. He took time to give me some extra coaching cues AFTER the WOD was complete. The other members I met were nice and friendly. The weekly rate is very reasonable. I will be taking 3 more classes during my stay and hope to pick up some extra tips and be a better crossfitter for it. Thanks WILDCAT CROSSFT! read more

Glad to be a member of the Wildcat CrossFit family! Great place to not only get in a great workout, but also meet some awesome people!

I've been going to wildcat for almost three years and can honestly say it's one of my favorite places! All of the coaches are welcoming and friendly and there is a true family feel to it! I love it and I highly recommend!! read more

Great people and professional coaches! I've been going for a year and I'm already so much stronger than I ever thought I'd be!

I love wildcat CrossFit! All the coaches are very knowledgeable and encouraging! The members are friendly and supportive!

I've been going here for over a year and it is the best gym I've ever been to. What I don't like about other gyms is that they are too clean and full of people covered in perfume and cologne. Those places are more about people checking each other out, then working out. This gym is dirty and you will sweat. Its a bit more pricier then regular gyms because your fee covers having instructors on the floor, which is great because they keep an eye on you to make sure that you keep good form and trying your best. This place is really a community. There are BBQs, parties, etc. I love it here! read more

This is my second time choosing Wildcat CrossFit while visiting Tucson. I travel extensively and have been active in CrossFit for 3 years. Through my travels, Wildcat CrossFit has stood out among the best due to the coaching and facility. I love a well stocked wide open space and did I mention CLEAN as well? The coaching and programming by Eric and Noah (the only two I have met) is top notch and hope to return to this facility next time while in town. Well done Wildcat CrossFit and recommend this facility to anyone looking to join or needing a place to WOD while in town. read more

Wildcat Crossfit is a class act. I dropped in this week. I got to meet the owners, Jen and Noah as well as Drew, one of their coaches. Everyone was very welcoming and Drew is an excellent coach. I would go back there in a heart beat. I highly recommend them to anyone read more

Great faciility. Clean. Professional. Class was well-coached. Definitely will stop by again when we're in town. Highly recommend stopping by for a great workout. read more

Good for GPP and gets hot chicks from campus for eye candy.

I travel all over the world and am a movement nerd, dancer, personal trainer and yoga instructor. Wildcat crossfit is hands down the best crossfit gym I have ever trained at. They are welcoming (to women! This matters,) hardcore and very well informed about biomechanics. The gym is clean and well organized the instructors are smart, curious, caring and very into what they are doing. I recommend this gym to new comers to crossfit as well as experienced heavy lifter types. read more

Thanks to Wildcat Crossfit I enjoy working out again! After spending close to 10 years away from the gym I tried one class and I was hooked! I had no idea working out could ever be this much fun! Not only do get stronger doing everyday things you also actually talk to people! Unlike any gym I've ever been to in which you show up with your iPod and spend over an hour messing around and MAYBE get something done. Not here you don't need a whole hour- you spend a short amount of time doing some intense work and you are done! I have seen myself change for the better here. I would recommend to everybody, anybody! Young, old, big or small. Chances are you will feel at home here. read more

I joined up near the end of one of the free three week immersion sessions, and after one week of it decided that this was for me. I'm almost at the end of my second full week of paid classes and I've already seen some awesome results! Every time I come to the Wildcat CrossFit I look at the workout and think that there's no way that I can do that. The staff are super friendly and supportive, not discouraging at all, and they help me through the workouts and I feel great mentally yet broken physically and out of breath afterwards. I'm totally addicted and am somehow drawn back to the same punishment every morning. I highly recommend! read more

It's hell, but the good kind of hell. Wildcat CrossFit is the best. They are great at pushing you and motivating you. Mainly because they work so hard on getting to know their members on a personal level. The workouts are hard and always new, the music is good, and the gym is a pretty nice atmosphere. Also they have awesome(HELLA TASTY) barbeques every friday night, yoga on sundays, and the coolest dog ever. read more

Great box! We traveled across the Southern states on a road trip this gym was one of the nicest we have been to. Jen greeted us and was super welcoming. The WOD we did, KILLED us and it felt so good! I would love to be a member if I was a Tucsonite! read more

I visited Wildcat CrossFit while in Tuscon for my son's college graduation. Jen was very welcoming and friendly. She was motivating and knowledgeable. The gym was clean with plenty of equipment, and was in a really cool old brick building. I had a great workout and would definitely return if I visit Tuscon again! read more

This gym lacks general equipment that should be standard in any crossfit gym. No rowers, no spots on the walls for HSPU's, no 35lb women's oly bars, just to name a few. It also lacks a sense of community and guidance from the members and instructors. Being last to finish a WOD, only to look up and notice that most of the class had already packed up and left, was quite disappointing. Not to mention the instructor of that class was too busy socializing to even notice. I also, painfully, watched their yoga instructor practice deadlifts using just her back with almost zero bend in the knees. This just seems like an injury waiting to happen and is not a good representation of the gym and their teachings. I witnessed many of the members of the gym not push themselves and barely even break a sweat. Looking at a lot of these people, I knew that they could have pushed themselves a bit harder and not scaled down as much as they did. Good coaches push their students to believe in themselves and work to the best of their ability. Just a complete disappointment all together. This gym could be really amazing if they were more mindful of fixing these things. read more

As an ex-collegiate athlete I was starving for a way to break the repetitive training cycle I was stuck in for several years. I had heard about CrossFit from a coworker and we were going through WODs together when we could, but mostly by ourselves at Globo Gym X. When I started my membership a little over a year ago in November 2011, I had little exposure to everything CrossFit except for following the scaled WODs posted on the CrossFit mainsite. I could do 10 consecutive pull ups (which I was very proud of) and I honestly didn't know many of the 7 core lifts by name except the deadlift. With all your help I am a much more confident and well educated CrossFitter. After the first couple months at the gym I got stronger, faster, and more physically prepared for life than I ever would have imagined. I was able to hike the Grand Canyon last April rim to rim in a day with no issues (an absolute testament to the merits of training at Wildcat CrossFit). You all helped me to meet fitness goals that I never would have dreamed of until I joined Wildcat. read more

I'm from Seattle but travel frequently to Tucson for business. Wildcat has been my box away from home. Jen and Noah are great, Coaches Abby and Drew are awesome too. They work with me in getting the right payment setup for how long I'm going to be in town, and even get me setup to do my open workouts. Can't say enough good things about this place. Keep up the great work! read more

I absolutely LOVE the people and vibe at Wildcat CrossFit! There's always an encouraging word, laughter, lots of sweat, and a diversity of people from student athletes to moms to active duty military to yogis. The trainers are knowledgeable, genuine, inspirational people who push us to do our best (to be strong, to be safe, to be kind, to be healthy). As a 42 year old mom, I thought my fittest days were behind me. But the feeling of support and accomplishment keeps me coming back to Wildcat CrossFit where I have become more fit than ever before in my life. After nearly 2 and a half years, I'm proud to say I can do lots of pull ups, run a 5K, and almost lift my own weight over my head. I'm the only one in my family who happily volunteers to hike with my 3 and a half year old strapped to my back. And I approach almost every challenge with more confidence and excitement than ever before. If you're waffling about trying CrossFit, go watch (or participate in) a workout at Wildcat CrossFit. Chances are, you'll want to go back for more!!! read more
