Camelback CrossFit

It’s been almost 2 years and still, everyday.. Matt, Rob, Dom (coaches) always, without fail, greet you with a smile. This place continues to inspire me to work hard and show up. How could you not enjoy coming to the gym when every single workout is difficult bit you’re getting cheered on by your coaches and classmates? It’s just great.
And the coaching is constant with little tips to keep your form on cue. They’ve added a smoothie bar which offers delicious drinks. I’m still so happy I found this on my first foray into the crossfit community.

I was in town for SF Giants spring training, and decided to get a little cross-​training in myself! Typically a runner, I do several days of strength training a week for upper body and core. I checked the website, which seemed very friendly and open to newcomers, and when I arrived, I was not disappointed! Coach Matt was very welcoming, and showed me the few exercises I was not familiar with. Not a regular Cross-​Fitter, I’ve been to a few boxes, and this one is very airy and friendly. Plenty of equipment, and I received guidance on adapting the WOD for my level of strength/​fitness. I will be back, when/​if we are in Scottsdale again!

Camelback Crossfit is a fantastic box full of fantastic people. I’m new to crossfit and from the very first day I felt welcomed and supported by everyone. In the past I have always needed to have a personal trainer in order to force myself to get into the gym. Since I started at Camelback, I am actually motivated each day to get to the box and workout. I’m fortunate to have found this place.

There are a lot of great things to say about Camelback crossfit, great coaches, family atmosphere, very clean, great equipment, free tampons a plus in my book. But the coaches make a difference, they take the time to help you out with form and technique and encourage you thought the workout. Everyone is great.

I’ve dropped into many Crossfit gyms and Camelback Crossfit stands tall amongst them all. Super friendly and accommodating with attentive coaching, (melissa was coaching during my class time) it’s a good place to grab a quick WOD when in town. The facility is massive with plenty of equipment and and floor space. I will definitely be stopping by again, and I recommend you do as well.

Probably one of my favorite places to be. I’ve been to quite a few crossfit gyms and this is one of the best. Thanks for having a 5 am class!

Coach Rob’s favorite music is country. …This alone deserves 5 stars. But in all seriousness, I’m no true crossfitrer, but CBCF is the perfect crossfit gym to supplement my normal bodybuilding-​style lifting with. Haven’t been in very consistently due to jacking my back up (unrelated to their gym), but I always enjoy the challenge these guys put forward with their workouts when I do make it in.

As good as it gets is right. Camelback CrossFit has it all: the coaches, the community, the equipment, the location, and the price. I’ve been CrossFitting for 5 years, and CBCF is among the top boxes I’ve ever been to. Their attention to individual athlete needs, and their ability to scale and push you to work on your weaknesses is bar none. The community is a great group of diverse people who will laugh with you and not judge you, whether you are a beginner or at the elite level.
If you’re in the South Scottsdale area, this is the gym for you. Can’t recommend enough.

Camelback Crossfit was kind enough to let me drop in and workout this week with them while I was visiting. I was so impressed with the coach (Matt), facility, and community. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful. The gym itself is so inviting, well laid out, clean and has all the latest equipment — it was a joy to work out there. The workouts were tough and I felt so great afterwards — great programming! Thank you for being so kind and accommodating!

Excellent facility. Outstanding coaches. If you want a gym that motivates you to get in the best shape you have ever been in then go and take one of coach matts classes. A+ and 5 stars.

I am an old, balding, gray haired geek who has been out of shape and did not know the difference between a dumbbell and a barbell. I’m twice the age a lot of people there. Nonetheless, I love going and I’m always made to feel welcome and I get the coaching that I need. It’s a tough full– body workout but it’s good for me and it’s made me happier. My girlfriend still doesn’t want me to take my shirt off in public but I’m getting there :-). Matt, Rob, Melissa, and Dominic rock! They always encourage and welcome everyone. I love this culture! No gym-​intimidation. WARNING: there is a Dunkin Donuts nearby, but the last thing you want to do after these workouts is eat a damn donut that is the reason you (I) need to workout here in the first place. CBCF is always clean and does not stink. I am surprised at how many women participate. Everyone has been pleasant and welcoming, I have made some nice friends there. You will get personal training/​coaching without the price tag. I believe I will live a longer and happier life if I keep doing this. First visit is free!

I dropped in at Camelback CrossFit while in Phoenix for 4^th of July and really enjoyed my time there. The coaches I met, Matt and Robert, were both super friendly, knowledgeable, and really encouraging. They have a very nice facility with great equipment. If I lived in the area I would definitely make this my gym! Thanks Matt and Camelback for being so welcoming!

If you want to become stronger, more mobile and an overall better athlete you have to come to camelback crossfit! The coaches are amazing, always willing to help you better yourself and the atmosphere is great. Awesome sense of community. As an exercise physiologist myself, I recommend this gym to everyone.

I was looking for a new workout, new people to meet this place is awesome so far!!! Very welcoming and fun atmosphere you must join!

Having been a Crossfit athlete for almost three years now, I have had the opportunity to visit multiple gyms, but let me fill you in on a little information about Camelback. Joining just over a month or so ago, I have not only seen tremendous improvements in my overall performance, but I have never been pushed harder than when I train at Camelback. All of the coaches take time to get to know each athlete individually and more importantly they work with each athlete to understand exactly where they are in performance abilities. When needed, the coaches will work one on one with athletes to ensure proper form and make sure each athlete knows that their overall well being is a priority of the coaches. The overall atmosphere of this gym is welcoming and is truly like one big family. I was taken into the family with arms wide open and each individual that trains here is unique in their own way. This gym offers something for everyone; from beginner to skilled athlete. Without a doubt, you will be pushed to the limits.

Just finished 3 days of training at Camelback CF while on vacation. Excellent box, I would strongly recommend it. Great community, accepting even to an out-​of-​towner and short-​timer like me. 20+ people per class, but ample space. Coaches Matt and Robert give excellent demonstrations of all techniques and move around the class during the strength work and the WOD adjusting people’s technique — which is what CF is all about.
Box is on the larger side, with more than enough equipment for all the athletes working out at a time.
Athletes, in my training sessions, cover a broad range of abilities and ages, which makes the place even more comfortable to me.
Camelback Crossfit made me wish I lived in Scottsdale.

Been coming to camelback crossfit for the past 2 months now and it has been a fun and welcoming experience. The workouts are well planned out and challenging. The coaches are great and really encourage you in the right way. I really like how they advise me to use a safe amount of weight. They really want you to have a safe workout and dont pressure you to be lifting crazy amounts of weight overnight! The group that works out at this gym are the BEST! Everyone is super nice and really encouraging. Crossfit can be very intimidating and I felt welcome right away!

Let’s see where to start… I original joined this gym (Box) in January 2014 when it was known as Scottsdale Health Care (SHC).
So, I too was recently on Unilocal,looking for the perfect fit.
As such, I was skeptical of a lot of reviews because of biases or a person’s one bad experience. With that said I would like to add my review to help you.
I must warn you though… I’m obsessed with Camelback Crossfit (CBCF); it’s like a 2^nd home, and I have no intentions of vacating anytime in the near future. I’m going to squat here until I die! The review is most definitely going to be a little biased. I mean what would you expect? That was a rhetorical question. I will however try my best to be as neutral as possible, or a voice of reason so to speak.
Atmosphere:
Now you have to understand, at the end of the day, I am an introvert. During the rest of the day it just depends on whether or not I made it to CBCF, or if I am Hangry, or Sleep Deprived, the Vibes (Yep! Said it) around me, and/​or alcohol: p.
This makes interacting with new people in an unknown territory a lot of work! I will also state the fact that I did try out a couple other Crossfit gyms, of which, I had friends at, until I found CBCF.
Justly so, the atmosphere makes this place, like so many have said before. I was content with getting in, doing the work out and leaving. Now I get there early, shoot the shit during, and hate leaving after. I’ve never had that feeling at any other gym in my life!
It’s just something you have to come and feel for yourself. Feel them vibes!
WOD (Work Out of the Day):
A different hour long adventure every day! Very rare to do something twice in a month, except for weightlifting, but they differ in set and reps each week.
Here’s honest for you… It won’t be easy at first, Crossfits a whole different workout, but you’ll make it through and be damn proud of it!
They’ve also recently added new classes such as Crossfit 101 & 102, Olympic Lifting, and Running Endurance & Mobility. There’s whisper of a Yoga class being added too!
People:
Do you know how hard it is to be cordial at 5 in the morning? Would you believe me if I told you I was warmly welcomed at 5am? Do I need to expand more on the people/​community of this place?
How often have you competed against friends who are cheering for you before, during, and after?
People who challenge you to get one more rep? Or add 5 more pounds on the bar? Who want to see you grow into the person you dream of being physically and mentally?
And as the days and months go on I continue to become friends with more and more old and new members alike here.
Coaches:
I have had the privilege of being trained by Matt, Dom, and Rob, but will not forget to mention Brady.
All of whom are constantly improving everyone’s form on lifts and movements alike, as well as motivating people to their next plateaus. They truly know what they are talking about and rightfully so given the title Coach.
Remember that atmosphere I was talking about? The coaches here are the driving factor behind it and have earned respect, not asked for it.
You won’t come into this place and be forgotten about!
Price:
Can’t beat it! At least for a Crossfit Membership. Yes, I do know, I count shit for a living, and it was a big factor when I initially chose CBCF.
$ 115 for an individual.
Discounted to $ 100 for Military (thank you btw) and students.
$ 200 for 2 family Members.
Why I chose Camelback Crossfit: See above

I love this community! When I started 4 years ago I was out of shape and overweight (no one told me this at the time!). Today, with the help of all the great coaches, I feel like the sky is the limit! If you’re looking for a change form the same ol’ boring gym workout, there is no better place than Camelback Crossfit!

Camelback Crossfit is a world class Functional Fitness gym located in South Scottsdale, or SoSco, if you’re that guy. It’s safe to say that these gyms all have the same stuff in them, but CBCF has one thing, that no other gym does– Coach Matt.
Coach Matt is a tremendous fitness expert who provides quality instruction and training to all the members of the gym. Coach Matt is super encouraging, positive, and highly knowledgeable in all things fitness. In addition to knowing his stuff, Coach Matt also fosters a positive environment throughout the entire gym, so that none of the typical gym douchiness or cliques are a factor. All the other athletes at CBCF are very helpful and encouraging.
CBCF has competitive athletes, regular people, newbies, and people like me who are clueless. Regardless of what group you align with, you will find a comfortable fit at CBCF! Everyone is welcome, and the veterans there are super helpful and supportive.
I can not recommend this gym highly enough. If you’re ready to change your life– stop your search and get started.
Coach Matt and CBCF can help you reach all your fitness goals. If you are ready for an amazing experience, where you will work hard, and reap the benefits, then check it out.
Why not you?
