I came to drop in from out of town on a Saturday and enjoyed it so much I came back the next day. Coaching is attentive, workouts were challenging, and the community was so welcoming. Great experience and can’t wait to be back!

I dropped in here for a week while staying with a friend in October. I have been doing CF for 8 years and the coaches here are top notch! I got some great lift cues and the workouts were definitely challenging. Everyone I met was so friendly and welcoming. A great learning environment for athletes of all levels!

We dropped in while on vacation and had a great class. The coach was knowledgeable and easy to interact with. I would highly recommend this Crossfit gym!

Dropped in for a class while visiting from out of town and had a great time. The staff were kind and welcoming and helped me modify the workout based on my needs. Plus child care was included!

I came here for two drop in classes in early November, and it was an incredibly welcoming, fun, inclusive environment. The workouts were great, and I really appreciate when a gym doesn't have a list of a bunch of different versions/scales of the workout but instead states the RX workout and the coaches modify it on an individual basis. That's what this gym does and I think it shows the caliber of coaching. Both coaches I took classes with were encouraging and top notch skill-wise. They gave really great cues, as well as excellent scales for my fitness level. All the members were also really friendly and went out of their way to say hello and make me feel at home. This seems like a wonderful gym community and one I will absolutely come back and visit next time I'm in Phoenix. If I lived here, this would be my spot.

Dropped in while visiting Phoenix. The process to join a class is straightforward. When I arrived, the coach and entire community were welcoming and the workout challenging. Will return next time in Phoenix!

Awesome experience at Chuckwalla, coach was super knowledgeable and worked with me on bracing in my jerk. I’ll definitely be back anytime I’m in the valley!

Great gym and friendly environment. I did a drop in session and everyone was welcoming. I’d definitely go back if I lived closer.

Very friendly staff my son really enjoys his Monday and Wednesday class always looking forward to his workout

Incredible CrossFit gym in Phoenix. Very family oriented and childcare is included in your membership for the 9am and 4:30pm classes. 10/10 recommend.

Amazing use and organization of a great space!! Great community, staff, and humble owner! Dropped in while visiting Phoenix and will definitely drop in next time in town.

Awesome place! Very welcoming and friendly!

Dropped in at Chuckwalla twice over the weekend. Great staff and friendly members.

2023-07-24T16:42:45.021Z

I love Chuckwalla. Everyone is super friendly. I’m really conscious about avoiding injuries. They coaches are really good about watching form and providing feedback.

2023-07-24T15:24:41.832Z

John and staff are amazing coaches. Perfect balance of pushing you to your limits and letting you know when to pull back to not risk injury. The community really sets itself apart from other gyms. The support both in the gym and outside of it is unlike any other my wife and I have experienced. Perfect place to get fit, improve your discipline, and make life long friends.

I started at Chuckwalla about 3 months ago and can say confidently that you do not find many places like this. First, the coaches are not only knowledgeable but they really care about you and your fitness goals. No matter what level of fitness from beginner to expert they will challenge you and encourage you along your fitness journey. Second, the community of people found at Chuckwalla is second to none. Everyday you are met with friendly hellos and welcoming energy from members who cheer each other on while working hard (and, in addition to all the workout fun, there are bookclubs and celebrations with invitations extended to those who also want to connect outside the gym as well). I am so happy I got over my fear of walking in the door and excited to continue on my fitness journey with Chuckwalla.

Awesome community gym!!

I can’t say enough great things about this place. I’ve been here for a few years now and right from the start it felt like home. I’ve been doing CrossFit in the valley for a decade now and I couldn’t imagine being at another gym. My wife actually found this gym having never done CrossFit before shortly after her pregnancy with our son. They offer childcare and made it easy for her to get back into fitness by scaling exercises in ways that she needed. The gym is very family/community oriented and is welcoming to everyone. When it comes to the workouts they are approachable for anyone at any fitness level and challenging enough for even the elite athletes. The coaching is a great balance between informative and engaging without being aggressive or ego based. There’s a large emphasis on proper form and mechanics to progress safely. They’re not going to tell you to do more than you’re capable and they will push you to do more only when appropriate. It’s the first place I have felt comfortable enough to set aside ego and work on weaknesses instead of only always chasing the next weight. I’m in my late thirties and in the Army’s Infantry and because of this gym I am running circles around some of the young guys in my unit.

Absolutely love this gym! Coaches are phenomenal, classes are always challenging yet scalable for those of us in less prime seasons of working out. Overall I feel better, have way more energy and feel so much stronger since coming to Chuckwalla. The people here are so friendly and welcoming as well. So grateful this awesome gym has childcare without which I wouldn't be able to have come!!

2023-06-17T05:17:12.709Z

Chuckwalla is more than just a place to workout. They create a welcoming community environment! Does not matter how long you have been coming or even how long you have been away, you can tell that you are always welcome!

2023-06-17T02:01:03.644Z

Let me do you a favor: join Chuckwalla. I tried almost every other CrossFit gym in the Phoenix area (so you don’t have to). Chuckwalla is THE place. Best programming and the best members. I’m stronger, faster, and happier than ever! 😊 I moved to Phoenix from Boston and was invested not only in finding a great workout but in finding a family. I wake up excited every day to go to the gym because I get to see my favorite people. Come join us! We would love to have you!

Best gym ever!

Great Gym, Great Coaches, Great Community, Great Owner!!!

Chuckwalla Fitness and owner and head coach John Hazdovac are the best around. Period. I cannot speak highly enough about this gym and the community that comes with it. I began one on one training sessions with John in May 2023. I have continued those as well as transitioned to participating in the CrossFit classes and the running club John runs on the weekends. The experience has been more than I could have anticipated and is absolutely phenomenal. Chuckwalla Fitness offers a supportive environment for those who are seasoned and in shape athletes with extensive CrossFit experience and those who are trying it for the first time and wanting to work on their overall fitness and wellness (this would be me). Everyone there, from the coaches, to the existing members, have all been so very welcoming, supportive, and helpful. It is truly a judgment free zone as we all work towards becoming our best selves regardless of the fitness level we are currently at. The coaches at Chuckwalla Fitness are AMAZING. They are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, supportive, and invested in seeing each person succeed. Being new to CrossFit, I am encountering several things which I have never done or even heard of before. However, the coaches are always there to walk me thru each step and move and show me alternative moves if needed. I never feel overwhelmed or intimidated by the moves or workouts as I have the coaches there to support. You never feel alone or out on an island left to figure it out on your own. I have only been a member for about 1.5 months, but I already feel part of a family. John Hazdovac, the owner, likely does not know this, but he truly has changed my life for the better in this short amount of time. Hitting my sessions with John and hitting the gym in general has become my favorite part of the day. The energy and environment there out of this world and it truly does feel like a home away from home. This place rocks, bottom line. The works outs will challenge you and you for sure will get results, but it is truly so much more that than. I highly recommend Chuckwalla Fitness!
