TL/DR Best staff Ive ever worked with.I started here End of January 2021, and I wanted to wait a few months before reviewing. Ive done crossfit off and on since 2017 and Ive been to gyms in Idaho, Houston, Dallas, Tulsa and now my 7th gym is Spark here in phoenix. Its my favourite by a mile.The gym and facility is really nice itself and the a pretty good size and location. Its always clean and well managed which is well appreciated.The real winning aspect of this gym though, is the staff. From the beginning, Jasmine onboarded me and was really encouraging and helpful without being an overbearing sales person.I work out at 4pm every single day, so my coaches are Joe, and Andris, and they are easily the absolute best two coaches Ive ever had. They both have a Very Big emphasis on the idea of learning to move correctly and moving at your own pace.Joe is possibly the kindest and most inviting person Ive ever met and his technical expertise is exceptional as well. He is very talented at communicating and breaking pieces down to simple steps. Ive personally had some great progress thanks to his instruction on toes to bar and muscle ups as well as olympic lifts. Hes a very fun and friendly person who has earned the respect of his athletes.Andris is a little more reserved than Joe, okay, hes a lot more reserved. But he is still a very kind and friendly person, Id also say hes probably the most technical expert Ive ever met. Hes pretty good at breaking it down for me and other athletes but its pretty clear to me that his expertise is on a whole other level.The community is pretty friendly, but they are still humans and it may take a few weeks to really start making friends. Just keep coming, you are welcome and you will make friends with a little bit of time.

I just sign up to learn more about the gym, I decided to join a different gym. However I get emails everyday and you can’t unsubscribe from them. I spoke with Jasmine about this and she said they are coming from the previous owner and they can’t stop them. Why does the previous owner still have access to the email system? I had to block the email and I reported this to the FTC for harassment. My info shouldn’t be accessible to non employees. After telling them, I reported them to the FTC, the emails magically stopped even after them saying it can’t be done. Very shady place

Let me tell you about this awesome CrossFit gym!!!I participated in the 6 week challenge and had the best time. I lost weight, gained muscle, and improved my diet in 6 weeks. It was challenging and rewarding at the same time.The classes are so great thanks to the wonderful instructors! Venus and Bugra are so motivating and never let you give up. They really invest in your development and provide good insight to your form. I started to look forward to my classes instead of dreading the workout. I took one class with another instructor named Abby, who was also amazing and very friendly! Actually the entire gym is full of friendly people and it’s a great community environment.Erin was my personal nutrition coach and would review my food logs weekly. It was very helpful to have someone there to answer my questions and to let me know that I was eating the right things. The Macros eating program was easy to follow and kept me full!If you are ready to make a change, or if you already know and love CrossFit, I highly recommend this gym!!!

Great gym with great coaches. Really enjoy Sparks workout programming. They do a really good job of balancing out all muscle groups throughout the week. The coaches are super helpful and provide awesome tips during workouts.Will is also an awesome guy and owner. He really went out of his way to help me out. Im a teacher and money was the biggest obstacle regarding a prolonged CrossFit experience. Will worked out some options to help me stay and continue to work on my fitness goals.The staff here really does provide a sense of community and support.

I absolutely love this place and plan out my week as to when I can go. They give you a heads up as to what they workouts will be so you know ahead of time what muscles you will be working out that day. I love how involved the coaches they. They help everyone with the work out, whether that is proper form or encouragement. They will show you ways to modify an exercise to fit your skill level so your not just on the sidelines watching. Spark CrossFit challenges me in ways which make me succeed become the best version of myself. I am stronger today because of Spark CrossFit. Thank you guys!!!

While searching for a new and exciting way to lose weight, because nothing else was working, I thought of checking CrossFit out. Not long after I thought of trying it out, I quickly found Spark, they seemed fairly friendly, clean, fun and for a CrossFit gym, very non-threatening or scary.After just my first week there I felt like I had finally found what I was looking for. Super friendly staff (and members!), very clean workout environment, challenging but not intimidating workouts that leave you feeling tired and accomplished in just one hour.I absolutely love my experience at this gym and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area who is looking to either try out CrossFit for the first time, or has been doing CrossFit for years and wants to continue to elevate their body and their performance.

CrossFit was something that I had always wanted to try. I could say a million times that I was going to do something but when would I start was always the question. Will really gave me that boost of energy and confidence to want to get into CrossFit and start this journey. I dragged my sister along with me every morning at 0530 and it honestly set our day for us. Thank you to all the lovely coaches that I had the pleasure of working with ( Ryan , Abby, and Tyler) ! Even if they had to explain some things to me 100x ten different ways, I really, really appreciate you all! You all helped me give something to myself that I will always have forever. Going to the gym is nice , but going to Spark is a lot nicer. I had no idea what to do with weights or machines at the gym. But spark has me set and I’m ready to see what else I can do/learn. DOWN 6.7% BODY FAT AND 20 POUNDS IN SIX WEEKS. THANK YOU SPARK!! Let’s keep grinding (:

I highly recommend joining Spark CrossFit if you are serious about getting in shape and/or losing weight. However, not only does this program focus on getting in shape and weight loss but also on educating its members on healthy eating and dieting habits. When I first saw an ad for this gym on facebook back in October what really appealed to me was how it provides you with a meal plan. That was a huge game changer for me because you dont get that at other gyms. In addition to educating its members, the other great thing about Spark CrossFit is the staff and coaches. They are highly motivated people who really work with you on your goals. They always answer any and all questions you have and they always greet you with a smile. Never have I went to the gym and felt as if I was not welcome. The staff and coaches really make you feel as if you are a valued member and that you are wanted there so that you can reach your fitness goals. Ive never felt judged or like an outcast. Everyone has always been very friendly and welcoming. If you are determined to lose weight in an environment where people will motivate you to the best version of yourself, Spark CrossFit is the place to be.

As soon as you walk in the building the great vibes start flowing in your body and your just anxious to start working out.

I first stepped into this gym with zero CrossFit experience back in November of 2015. I needed something new, challenging and rewarding. I quickly found it at this box. Ive learned more about fitness, become in tune with my body and more dialed in on my eating habits over the past 2 1/2 years than ever before. I am still an active member today. The box is super spacious, it seems the equipment is always being updated and is well taken care of. Plenty of equipment for mobility too! The morning coaches (Ryan, Abby, Brandon, and Tyler) genuinely care about personal progress and form during each workout. They will point out your weaknesses and help you improve them. If you cant do a certain movement they will provide scaling options. The owners (Erin and Will) are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The members are welcoming and can quickly become some of your best friends and fit family. Spark continues to push me to be a better version of myself on a weekly basis!

I was part of the six week challenge and crushed it with the help of the Sparks CrossFit staff. I was able to lose 23 pounds and 6% body fat. My personal coach that helped me with my meal plan, encouraged and supported me throughout this whole experience. Brandon Bailey and Abby Murphy continued to teach me what needed to do to strengthen my CrossFit skills. I am so glad for the opportunity to complete a challenge with Spark CrossFit.P.s. be prepared to buy new clothes.

Review №22

I had a great experience during the 6 week challenge I recently completed at Spark CrossFit!! The team there were so supportive when I was having hard times. The coaches were great with working around some old injuries I had and not only gave me modifications during the workouts, but gave me extra accessory work for my shoulder and knee stability.The gym and process for attending the classes are both very organized. They use an app that lists the class schedule and the workouts of each day for each class. This makes it very easy to plan around your schedule. All the classes start and end pretty much exactly on time, which I very much appreciate.Overall, I would definitely recommend this gym not only for the athleticism, but also for the community you get to become a part of.

I found Crossfit Black Storm back in January.They had a great New Years deal going that I could not pass up! Right away I fell in love with the gym. The owners were friendly, driven, and very well trained. The athletes around me were also very friendly and open to the new person. I love the competitiveness of the gym as well. Always looking to better their athletes in all areas of physical fitness, health and wellness. The gym times are great, location great, equipment great. All around an amazing gym.

I have been a member at Spark almost a year now and joining was the best decision I made. Such a great atmosphere. Everyone is super friendly and approachable. The coaches are very helpful, knowledgeable and fun to be around. As for equipment and space it’s very clean and well maintained. Highly recommend 10/10.

Review №25

My first time ever trying CrossFit was at this gym and it was more intense than I expected it to be. I overworked myself and essentially collapsed from exhaustion and could barely move. The coach at the time, Sam, was so kind and helpful and brought me an energy drink (on the house) to regain my strength.One of the owners, Erin, was by my side for almost the entirety of my time on the floor as I lay in a heap of exhaustion. She ensured I was safe and provided me with anything I needed to recover (I had already signed the waiver so I knew she was being genuinely kind and concerned for my well being).Alexis, at the front counter, was chipper and friendly with me and made me feel very welcome. Will, the other owner, introduced himself to me and also made me feel welcome. No one ever pushed me to sign up for anything or talk about money or anything.Everyone at the gym was very friendly and took the time to show me the techniques they were using - and these people were all highly advanced. I would definitely recommend Spark CrossFit to anyone looking to whip themselves into shape in a great environment with friendly people.

I have been with Spark for about three years. It has been a pleasure and I have met some really awesome people over the years. Will is always improving the gym with new equipment and expansion. If you ever wanted to try it they have a great beginner program that will help you transition. Dont hesitate because you will meet some great new friends and people who are trying to better themselves all around.

10/10 would absolutely recommend Spark! The facility, coaches, and members are all fantastic. I went into a 6 week program not knowing anything about Crossfit and came out stronger and so much more educated on the importance of a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet. So happy I joined the Spark family. Yall are changing my life!!

I have been a member of this gym for 8weeks now and must say that I am very happy to be apart of this group. The culture here is very friendly, high energy and positive attitudes. You receive a lot of support and guidance from the trainers and owners,they demonstrate excellent coaching skills and are very knowledgeable in fitness. The owners manage a great studio, they are very inclusive and social with their members and ensure their satisfaction. 😀

It was a great experience. I had no knowledge of CrossFit before joining the gym. Sam and the other staff worked hard to teach me how to properly do the exercises so that I could build muscle while reducing the risk injury. My hearing difficulties made it a little hard for me to understand what was happening at all times; so the staff would go out of their way to explain to me what was expected. It was a really good experience.

I have had the most amazing experience with this gym, I was inspired by one of my friends to do the CrossFit challenge and decided to join Spark. Not only are the owners Erin and Will so extremely attentive and caring, but all of the other trainers are amazing as well. I definitely put my time in here and followed what they set for me, and it worked! I was able to lose 21 pounds and 4% body fat, accomplishing things that I thought Id never be able to do! For anyone hesitant about joining Spark CrossFit, Do It!!!!

Review №34

I started at Spark CrossFit by participating in their 6 week challenge. Before starting, I had always heard that crossfit had a bad reputation. I decided to try Spark CrossFit because I was interested in learning more about this type of exercise. I wanted to know if the reputation I had heard of was true. Point blank, it isnt true. At least not here. Everyone was more than welcoming and is really positive and encouraging all the time. It can be pretty daunting to walk into a new gym and workout with new people, especially at a gym like this that uses free weights. You cant cower between machines like you might do at another gym. The thing that really hooked me on continuing with Spark is the fact that I dont feel in competition with those around me like you might feel at another gym. The focus isnt on out-doing your neighbor, but rather out-doing your past self; to grow and progress and encourage those around you to out-do their past self. I have taken classes with almost every coach now, and I can honestly say that there isnt a bad coach. Each one of them explains the workout with clarity, and responds really well to questions. They are really excited to answer form questions and come up with modifications to a work out if necessary. In a nutshell, this gym exceeded my expectations. I love the overall vibe of this place and how welcome, encouraged and challenged I feel every day.

I was in town for thanksgiving and dropped in this gym for three days straight. The staff was awesome (thanks again Justin & Brooke!), the facilities were amazing, and the community was welcoming and friendly. I met the owners too and they were super cool and extremely knowledgeable. I cant say enough nice things about this place, and if I lived in the Phoenix area, I would without question join this box. Good to know Ill be able to drop in such a nice gym for every holiday Im in town for. Highly recommended

Review №37

I absolutely love Spark! As someone who has never really worked out or played sports I was naturally intimidated to join, but joining this gym was hands down a great choice. I started with the six week challenge to try it out and had constant guidance from my coach (and owner,) Erin, who instantly made me feel comfortable. Before the six week challenge was even over, I decided to join. I really enjoy the 9AM classes as they are a bit smaller but have really given the opportunity to work more one on one with the coaches. Coach Burga is amazing! He definitely pushes me to try harder and harder each week while throwing in some humor. If you’re even slightly considering trying this place out, just do it! This place has the greatest staff and I’m so glad I took the leap.

I was so nervous going into this a month ago! But now I love every minute of my time spent at the gym. It’s like we’re some awesome family. I’ve lost 10 pounds in a month by just following a clean diet and taking an hour out of most days to kick my own butt the CrossFit gym. If you’re thinking to yourself, “maybe later”, stop, just do it now.

First step through the door and I already liked the feel of the atmosphere here. The owners and coaches are very welcoming as are the gym members. The coaches are always willing to help you improve, all you have to do is ask!

I have grown physically and mentally at this box with the great support here.

Mr. Hurst,I find your approach, Will Hurst owner of Spark Cross fit , of cyber stalking too be rude and unprofessional. Trying to blackmail me into responding and removing my review. One message was enough, then Will Hurst took it to far. Sending a message of a threatening manner of blackmail. I would never cyber stalk someone on social media, like Will Hurst owner of Spark Crossfit. Will Hurst owner of Spark Cross fit should be ashamed of himself.Will you did stalk me, Will you did beg me, Will you did threaten me.The fact you admit sending me messages. Makes you the stalker.Let your wife handle the reviews not you. No way would I ever consider coming in your business. I would be afraid you would jump me. Thats how threatened I feel from your messages.Its not what was offered or what was wrong. Your wife was very kind to me, answered all of my questions, and offered free class on line. Its what I did not feel In the space , the energy was not there for me and the floor plan was choppy.

Ive only been a member of Crossfit Blackstorm for three months, but Im totally in love. The location is convenient and the gym itself is in great condition.

Theyre all great at explaining and showing complex moves. In other words, the coaches know their stuff.I highly recommend!

I was in Phoenix on business and had several hours before my meeting started. I found Spark Crossfit from a google search. Reviews looked good. Called and the receptionist was super nice. Walked into the first Crossfit box I had ever visited besides my own. The staff and the other customers could not have possibly been more welcoming. The wod was pretty tough but I guess that’s why I went. Could not recommend this place more. I hope I get to come back someday.

The coaches and owners are all amazing people. I was uncomfortable going into the gym at first since I was overweight and not nearly as talented as most of the people working out, but I quickly discovered that everyone is super nice and helpful.

No matter what level of fitness youre at, theres a place for you at Spark.

A good friend of mine told me he thought I would enjoy CrossFit. As a regional qualifier in the CrossFit Games, my friend knows his boxes. He suggested I join Spark CrossFit and in 2 and a half years since starting, Ive never looked back.The owners, coaches and community are great! No one here has an attitude. Everyone, and I mean everyone is helpful and supportive and the staffs level of expertise is high.The facility is excellent and clean. The equipment is well maintained and top notch. They just opened an additional 2,000+ square feet, so the box is spacious. Parking is ample and access is very good. The community keeps growing which, is one of the best indicators of its success.I recently moved my office which was located near Spark CrossFit. I now commute nearly 30-minutes to workout. But I never considered finding another box, of which there are many in Phoenix.Im 60+ in age, and have been active my entire life with many sports; from wrestling and martial arts to skiing and surfing. The physical gains Ive made here are amazing and my conditioning rivals my younger years.While Im very competitive, the coaches encourage me to scale whenever they see I might be biting off more than i can chew. Some Rxs work for me and some dont. The priority here is learning proper form within your abilities. I noticed a review here from an older participant stating an injury was ignored. I have never, ever - EVER seen that here. If Ive tweaked something, the coaches will modify the WOD for me or encourage me to heal rather than aggravate anything.If you want to train for the CrossFit games, you can do so here. Or, if you are a mere mortal, you also fit right in. The expertise and equipment to take you as far as you can go is there.Thanks to Will and Erin for running a great box and fostering a fun, diverse and supportive community !

I’ve been a member of Spark for a year and a half now and every moment has been amazing. Plenty of classes during the day, and there’s more than just CrossFit here: there’s weightlifting, challenge classes, and bootcamp styled high intensity classes to get your engine going.The gym also hosts a variety of competitions along with other gyms around the Valley, it’s a great environment for competitors.The community is the other solid aspect to this place- it’s great and everyone pushes each other to strive for their goals. There have also been a number of relationships to come out of the gym, so if you’re looking for love...The gym is growing in members, and soon, space! Definitely worth a check out and it’s super easy to get to since it’s just off the 202 and 143 near Sky Harbor.

Review №55

I had been wary of CrossFit for about a decade, worried that it would make me bulky and/or injured. But I had succumbed to a boring routine of just sort of making myself work out on my own in isolation. Honestly, I thought I would try the introductory period at Spark just to inject something different into my workout routine and then call it quits. But I didnt call it quits as I fell absolutely in love with CrossFit in general and Spark in particular. I think I serendipitously stumbled into a very special gym. Once upon a time, I was a collegiate athlete and an elite endurance athlete, and I didnt realize how much I had been craving camaraderie, coaching, and community in my exercise and health. Gone are the days of forcing myself through isolated, boring workouts motivated by a desire to not become totally out of shape or fat. Enter the days of excitement, challenge, and community! And this will push you to challenge yourself if you want it to. Just yesterday I did 124 burpee box jumpovers. Thats something I never would have thought I could do in spite of my athletic history. If its all about the journey rather than the destination, I cannot think of a better place to launch into the journey.

Ive been a member for almost 2 months now, and this place is amazing. The coaches are very, very uplifting and positive. They also are very skillful in teaching technique, regardless of your athletic level. I know I have a lot of negative self-talk, and they correct me so politely and positively, it makes me feel so much better. Ive been working with Sam the most, but all their coaches are awesome and bring a different spice to the gym. Krist, Ryan, Abby, Bugra, Brandon and the rest (sorry if I didnt mention you), all have great enthusiasm and coaching skills. If youre now to CF or not, or just needed a Spark (pun intended) like me, this is the place to be. You can thank me later.

As a new mom I was intimidated to get back to working out, but the owner, staff, and coaches were all incredibly friendly and encouraging the whole way through. If you are new to crossfit or want to get back into fitness this is the program for you!! Classes are scaled to every level and the community is awesome. I even made a few new friends from doing this program. Now Im strong enough to keep up with my very active 9 month old thanks to Spark Crossfit!! I cant wait to become a full time member.

I love coming to Spark Crossfit. My fiancee and I wanted to get in shape and eat healthier, so we came to Spark Crossfit to jump-start our lifestyle change. We are two weeks in and we are staying true to the nutrition plan and we workout three times a week at Spark. In two weeks, Ive lost 6.5 pounds and my fiancee has lost 5.5 pounds. We love the coaches and the classes. We feel comfortable attending the classes, even when we havent done the particular exercises before. The coaches are always there to show you the proper technique and make sure you are doing each move correctly. We love the community and everyone encourages each other throughout the workouts. If youre thinking about making a change or you need a new gym, this is the place to come!

Dropped in for class on two consecutive days - did the 4:30 and 5:30 classes. Fantastic place. I have been doing crossfit for about a year and this was my first drop in. Made to feel at home right away. Great coaches, people, and equipment. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a couple great workouts!!

I have been going to Spark now for 3 months. I started my journey through one of their challenges. I was very hesistant at first since I have a previous back injury so I worried about aggravating it during work outs. The coaches listened to my worries and always suggested ways for me to scale down yet still get a good work out. We were coached in nutrition as well as our work outs. I lost 12lbs or so in 6 weeks! The gym offers so many classes. Recently learned about a weightlifting class. Spoke to one of the coaches that teaches it regarding my back and he made me comfortable in deciding to take the classes. Everyone is knowledgeable, and to me at least more importantly, caring. They want you to succeed. The community is amazing. Always cheering you on, sharing their stories etc. Honestly the reason I signed up for the challenge was due to the fact that any review I read mentioned how great everyone is.

This place is wonderful. I joined the 6 week challenge lost 20 lbs and 6.2% body fat. This was all done with a meal plan that was provided to me along with the encouragement from coaches and other members as well. I have participated in several different crossfit gyms over the years and Spark does not dissapoint. Not only do the owners Will and Erin along with the coaches take a personal interest in your progress but the other members are supportive and encouraging as well. I am so lucky to have found a place that is convenient for me as it is close to work and home leaving me without any excuses for not getting in and improving my overall fitness. A big thank you to all of the coaches and fellow members that continually push me to be better every day.

Spark is awesome! I Love the coaches and the athletes. No attitudes or egos, just great workouts and coaching! Spark offers good variety with Crossfit, Surge (WODs with no barbell work), and open gym times. If you are visiting from out of town give them a call for a free workout. Also: Shower and change room on site!

I went through the Challenge program and had great success and noticeable results. Erin and Abby were great coaches and supporters throughout the Challenge program. I have been in Crossfit classes for 3 weeks now and am loving it. All the rest of the coaches are very knowledgeable and supportive. I’m stoked to see how my health and body transforms over the year. Spark Crossfit grades an A++++++

These people are very careless with other people’s money. I did not sign up and I specifically asked for my info to be destroyed and they charged me anyway saying they “forgot”. This isn’t a way to run a business. Once again after being assured it was refunded and all was done, I was charged again! Careless and disrespectful. Get your admin together and stop trying to steal money from hard working people. I shouldn’t have to be surprised to see unauthorized charges to my account.

I started at Spark around May this year after trying CrossFit once several years ago and feeling way over my head. I initially did intermediate style classes and quickly learned that I could join the regular CrossFit classes and scale the workout as needed. If youre worried about not being sure if you can do it or how youll scale the work outs, dont. The coaches will help you through it. There are several different style classes, they are always expanding and adding new equipment, hosting events & community BBQs, and best of all, you may just gain an amazing group of friends like I did.

When I moved here from across the country, this gym made the difference. They welcomed me in like family as well as have made me a better athlete then when I first walked in and continue to make me better. Wouldnt want to work out anywhere else.

Better than any other Crossfit gym that I have ever been to. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt like a member of the Black Storm community (and its the reason I left my old gym a week after my first visit). I would imagine you can get a great workout in any number of boxes in the Valley, but this one comes with community. Will and Erin are tireless in their efforts to improve the quality of the gym, continually reinvesting to give us better equipment and a better experience.Oh, and if you want results, they will give you those too. Within my first 6 months at Black Storm, I added 70 lbs to my back squat, 35 lbs to my shoulder press and 90 lbs to my deadlift. I am getting stronger faster and I owe it to the coaches and the community that push me to better myself everyday. Do yourself a favor and come see what you are missing.

Spark Crossfit has Sparked my interest back into working out! I lost 5.4% body fat in 6 weeks by attending the classes 3 times a week and sticking to the meal plan. Never did I think I would sign up for another Crossfit gym. This is my third Crossfit box and by far the best one for me. The coaches and staff really help you along the way to meet your goal. Just stick to the diet and workouts and you’ll see results in no time!

6 week challenge introduced me to a lifestyle change. Coach Will, Krist, Sam, Bugra, and Abby were absolutely amazing. They made sure I learned proper technique before I started using more weight. The progress I have made in both my diet and working out has forever changed my life. It has even got my 8 YO to want to engage in clean eating. After completing the 6 week challenge I promptly committed to a year membership. The atmosphere and quality of Spark is above all. I look forward to see the progress I make in a year. Erin and Alexis have been amazing as well. Thank you all

Will and Erin Hurst have opened my eyes and did more that just invite to their gym. They have educated me on what i should be eating in order to see progress. If im slacking and havent shown up to the gym you better believe Erin will call to find out where the hell Ive been, but most importantly I have a new family that supports my new life style thanks guys for everything you have done for me!

Spark Crossfit is hands down the best place to workout. The coaches Erin and Burga are there for you with everything from nutrition to workouts they push you to hit your goals and motivate you to keep it going. The Six week challenge was so fun from the people to the atmosphere of working out with ppl that are just like you was amazing no looks of judgement but words of encouragement to help you push yourself to your goals.

Come for the fitness but stay for the amazing community. I love this gym!! Ive been with Spark Crossfit for 3 years and before that I had never touched weights and was a dedicated cardio girl, but I used to have recurring issues with my knees from running on the pavement and canals.Since I joined, Ive been able to strength my legs with weight training and havent needed physical therapy in 3 years. The coaches have been amazing as theyve taught me the basics and made sure I used correct form and lighter weights so I didnt get injured.Dont be scared because of all the crazy stories you hear about Crossfit. Just go slow and listen to your coaches. Youll be glad you did! Highly recommend!!!

I literally drive past 5 other crossfit gyms to go to Spark because they have a welcoming and friendly community, knowledgeable and helpful trainers, and a pair of awesome owners who pride themselves on the successes of their members.I started at Spark with a body fat challenge to drop 5% in 6 weeks to begin 2018. The nutrition coach helped me balance my macros and eat the right amount of calories, while the trainers patiently helped me to learn all the new movements and exercises in the crossfit workouts. There are classes starting as early as 5am and as late as 7.30pm, plus options for more rigorous cardio classes as well, so I could get training on my schedule. The synced apps they run at Spark and amenities in the bldg (like a shower!) make for a great place to train.Did I mention the community is great?! The support shown to me by strangers who have quickly become friends is unmatched in my years working out.

After taking a few months off from Crossfit, I couldnt take it any more and tried out a few different gyms in the Tempe/Phoenix area. Spark Crossfit was my favorite by far! The members are so friendly and welcoming, and the coaches are awesome. Also, the facility has everything you could want in a Crossfit gym. Love this place!

Spark Crossfit is amazing! The owners, the coaches, the members, all so inspiring, motivating and friendly. The facility is always extermely clean and the equipment is top notch. Its perfect if you are visiting Phoenix, because its located right by the airport. Great for beginners and competitive crossfitters alike. They also have a barbell club, so if Olympic lifting is your thing, its a great spot for that as well!
