In May 2014 I walked into CF Magna nervous & intimidated - a 50+ year old woman, in decent shape, but NOT like the athletes I saw when I went inside! In October 2016 I walked out of Magna in tears because I was moving back to NY and couldn't bear saying goodbye! In only 2.5 years I went from a novice cross fitter to a master's 'athlete'! I am not the strongest, or the fastest but each individual - especially coaches Brian & Katie and Marcus - helped me grow into the best 'athlete' I could be. I was always encouraged, welcomed, high-fived and made to feel like I was part of this amazing community/family. The Magna coaches always provided scaling options for me when necessary, but also gave me the confidence to push myself beyond what I thought I was capable of - and most of the time I succeeded! They believed in me more than I believed in myself - and what a gift that has been! The athletes range in age from teenagers to us 'older' folks, and each member is vital to the community; we all bring different talents, strengths and gifts. This is truly a diversified group of people. I encourage anyone - especially those master's athletes - to give Magna a try. You may not have aspirations to go to the CF Games, but I guarantee you'll be stronger and better mentally and physically after spending time in this box! I won't be gone forever - when I come back to AZ, CrossFit Magna will be one of my first stops. After all, when you go 'home', you visit your family first! read more

There are a lot of misconceptions about CrossFit out there, and they're usually propped up by people who've never been to a good box. A CF gym is just like any other service business, there are good ones and not so good ones offering the same service; it's usually the negativity that makes the most noise though. That's not the case here. Brian and his coaching staff are excellent at assessing how people move (usually the first thing a CF coach should be looking for) BEFORE they just toss them into a class and let them go. I've seen a few new people come in the little time I've been there and most all of them I can see the attention to proper mechanics over the "sexy" big weights. That makes all the difference, as that keeps athletes safe and healthy--all the fitness in the world won't save you if you're broken from s**t technique. The facility is great with lots of space and plenty of equipment for almost anything that CrossFit can throw at you (which happens to be almost anything). If you want to try this sport of fitness but were at all hesitant because you heard about a bad time someone has somewhere else, drop in at Magna. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Magna for over a year now and have gone through various trials during that time, personal, work, fitness, and yet, the box was always there for me, always there for my family. It was one of my most constant places of clarity (despite the torture I would eventually go through). Brian, Katie, Evan and the rest of the coaches are a source of encouragement, and once the WOD is done, refreshment also. There are many boxes to go to, with the standard equipment, coaches, and programming, but what sets any box apart from another is the individualism. Just the other day, I received a hand written, card in the mail from Magna, encouraging me in what I have accomplished and offering me additional help in areas of my training that I would like. That's the community of Crossfit, but especially Magna. In this day and age, this generation, we can find excuses, reasons, and complaints about anything and everything, or we can continue to do the same routine as we have always done, but if you want to make changes and start to grow, physically and emotionally, this is a great place to start. read more

I have been going to CrossFit Magna for 4 years and I absolutely love it! Brian and Katie are very welcoming and excellent coaches. I was so intimidated when I first started CrossFit. Having a week trial free at Magna allowed me enough time to experience what CrossFit is all about. I am now in the best shape of my life and I love the feeling of being fit and strong. I go three times a week but wish I had enough time to go more. They do offer once a week yoga which is an awesome time for recovery. The box is now in a much larger space which gives us lots of room for our WOD's and now they offer more classes both morning and evening in addition to open gym. I would recommend CrossFit Magna to anyone! Even though it's a bigger box I feel like I know just about everyone! read more

You need to try it. It's owned by 2 stellar people who care deeply for the success of their athletes/members. You can walk in CrossFit Magna as a novice who's toes haven't seen sneakers in 20 years or a lean, mean competitor and they will have a program for you! You will be guarenteed a fun, purpose driven workout that will leave you feeling like you've accomplished something great or learned something new in 60 minutes. This new location is "HUGE" and while class sizes do vary, room to work is never an issue nor is enough workout equipment (e.g., bars, rowers, kettle bells) I hope if you are looking for a new workout adventure you'll try this CrossFit in Scottsdale, I promise it will be a great foundation to your fitness goals! read more

I've been regularly attending CrossFit Magna for just over six months now and it has been, hands down, the best experience I have ever had with a gym and coaching staff. While it's certainly a demanding workout, the personal attention offered by Brian and the staff to insure that the activity is appropriate and safe for each person was an unexpected surprise. While I'm older than most there, and certainly much more inexperienced, I've been welcomed and encouraged by even the hardiest veterans. From a health standpoint, I cannot ever imagine not having this workout a part of my life for as long as I am able. If I have any regrets, it is that I didn't find this Crossfit a long time ago.

Best crossfit gym in Phoenix, AZ! I was interested in crossfit, but was really concerned about injury. I didn't have a ton of experience with weight lifting and didn't know the basic movements which made me very hesitant. Crossfit Magna offers a beginner class called Magna 101 that has changed my life. It has taught me all of the basics while still providing me with a great workout. I am learning how to stay injury free and getting in the best shape of my life. The coaches are all wonderful and just want you to reach your goals. They provide a great balance of encouragement while still pushing you to new heights! read more

I am a father of a college student who goes to Grand Canyon University. Both my son and his friend (both from California, and Crossfitters) found Magna Crossfit. The went to a couple of boxes and chose Magna. The moment they walked in, they were welcomed and were made to feel like they belonged. The boys came home for Thanksgiving and just raved about the gym and Brian. Brian has taken them under his wing knowing they are away from home. As a parent, we can only pray that kids will find great role model while away from home. Thanks Brian and Magna Crossfit coaches!! read more

I have been crossfitting for over two years and have been to 4-5 different boxes (i.e., gyms) while traveling for work and for pleasure. My experience back in March of 2016 at Crossfit Magna was THE best of all! Spacious box, fun and extremely knowledgeable coaches, and systematically varied programing. Not to mention it was extremely affordable deal for an out of towner like myself! I highly recommend visiting Crossfit Magna if you are in the Phoenix area and looking for an affordable and extremely worthwhile crossfit experience. read more

I travel from CA to Arizona for business. Today I dropped in at CF Magna. Marcus(coach) and Brian (coach/owner) were extremely welcoming, friendly and knowledgable of proper form/technique.

The box(gym) is large, with great equipment, plenty of weighs, row machines, etc. Whether you are new, travel like I do, or live in AZ. I would highly recommend this Box. I will be back. Thank you CF Magna... Great WOD today! read more

I came to CrossFit Magna during a holiday stay in Scottsdale (from Canada). I was very happy with the warm welcome and fantastic coaching. Brian was incredible accommodating, and obviously takes a lot of pride in what he's built. The 6:30am classes were fantastic and the athletes there made me feel like part of the crew from the first day I arrived. I'm already looking forward to going back during our next stay. read more

Although I was just visiting, this was great place! As a coach I was impressed with the space and hospitality. Brian was a great host.
