I felt more like a commodity to be exploited than a person receiving healing. First they demanded payment in full even though I couldn't visit for 2 months. Then I was bombarded with advertisements. The support staff was not caring, they seemed to be sales people. The introductory stretching session was all right. but there wasn't a lot to it. Then they bombarded with advertisements again...... then they started sending me late notices for nonpayment of my session. Wouldn't believe me that I had paid them in advance. I had to prove to them that I paid to get them off my back. Horrible experience. I would have gone back except for the harshness and meanness. I'll go find a better place to be stretched. I recommend that you avoid them like the plague.

I would not recommend the stretch lab on Academy in Albuquerque. The office practices are…read moredeceptive. They make you sign a three month contract for close to $1000 and then try to force you to go longer by making you jump through hoops filling out forms to stop your contract. they cheated me out of one session valued at $70 that I was forced to pre-pay for. Their scheduling and appt. reminders are atrocious. The only thing good about the place were the actual stretch technicians. They were all very sincere and good. But because of the slimy office management I would not recommend this place whatsoever.

Thank you so much!…read more We are currently on a road trip and had to get our daily workout, and this "box" was perfect! It was a GREAT drop-in workout with cardio and weights. And our coach (I'm sorry I missed her name but she had the faded rainbow hair with one side cut short) was knowledgeable and attentive, and really encouraged us through the workout! We also brought our two daughters, and when the music got a little explicit, she switched the songs. She didn't have to, as the words were fast enough and our girls were entertained and distracted by the pups sitting off to the side that they didn't notice, but she did and she took the initiative, and I was VERY appreciative. It was one of those little things that went above and beyond and I was grateful. We loved it and will for sure come in again next summer on our 2020 road trip to Missouri! (This year it's Maryland).

Crossfit. This word…read moreconjures up so many images. Knee socks, Bandanas, Bacon, Pull ups, Microscopic Shorts, Plate Weights, Chalk, and Bacon. Yes -bacon is worthy of 2 mentions. I've been a member of Burque's active community for a few years (let's get real- gym rat, exercise junkie, person on the Bosque that says on your left waaay louder than deemed necessary). I started hearing more and more about Crossfit and decided to investigate the legit way- YouTube. I was blown away watching these terrifying feats of strength/endurance and immediately thought not my scene. Saying you can't do something is lame- and certainly not how Mr. Rogers raised me to think. I woke up one morning and decided to take the plunge in the world of badassery (yeah that's a word now) I rolled up to Sandia Crossfit thinking "Will I survive? I'm going to be the only person without knee socks....I cant do a pull up if a kittens life depended on it" One free intro class later I was hooked. (Saturday 11-12 free intro hour) Sandia Crossfit is the only gym I've seen that takes "Anyone can crossfit" to heart. The workouts are tailored to your own capabilities, you will be able to participate no matter your fitness background/limitations. The instructors are knowledgable and genuinely want to help you get the most out of the class- quickly offering adjustments, modifications ( or in my case- pushing me to the level I want to be). Classes are an hour comprising of warmup workout, technique work, and lastly a WOD that will give you that endorphin rush you've been jonesing for. They also offer functional yoga as well as mobility (Mobility is taught by a physical therapist at no extra cost- seriously) Paleo pot lucks, snow shoe outings, swim wods? I can't say enough about my love for this place, the people that run it, or the sport of Crossfit.

My wife (as the primary account holder) has attempted to do this several times over the last two months. She followed the suggested steps but apparently was not taken seriously as she is female. BEWARE! This company will NEVER stop charging your card and will NOT give you a way to cancel a membership. Looking forward to a phone call from the manager. We'll see if that actually happens.

So, I (sort of reluctantly) used my workplace perks to get a fitness membership as a step to enable me to stay healthy. I like this gym because they have many different locations that you can go to within ABQ. There are also many different things that you can do at a gym, by they volleyball, swimming, squash, swimming, instructor-led classes, weight/strength training..and hot tub & sauna, etc. I particularly like that the gym is clean, never seemed to be so crowded at all. I've gone there during weekdays and/or weekends...and while weekends there seemed to be more people...there were plenty of room to choose and do your own exercise (partly because the membership here is slightly more expensive, too). Enjoy it a lot and excited to have my own peace exercising without judgement/crowd that usually turn me away from those establishments. Look forward to frequenting this place more often.

There are a lot of thoughtful details in the gym, like private showers and a juice/coffee bar, and of course all the classic Crossfit equipment.

First, I will say the person at the desk was very polite, respectful, and professional…read more I brought my 16 year old daughter to work out with me today. Chuze is always very busy and I was trying to bring her over to the Defined side. They would not allow her to work out without signing up first. Reasoning being that she is a minor and there is not a clause in their waiver stating that if a minor is injured they are liable. With as long as Defined has been around, it would seem like they would have added this by now. Especially since she was accompanied by her guardian. So how would any teenager know if they like this gym before they want to sign up? It seems like they're trying to force a sign up to me. My rating is based off of a suspicious business model.

Word of advice: don't sign up for a membership here.......run the other way!…read more My family and I recently moved out of state. At the end of June, I called several times to cancel my membership, but each time I was told to call back because the manager wasn't available. In July, I finally had to go in person because every time I called, the manager was either unavailable or in a meeting. I even left my contact information for a callback and never received one. When I spoke with Jenna, she told me I would be charged for August, but if I provided proof that I had moved along with my new address, the August charge would be waived. I submitted the requested documentation that same day in July, including proof of my new address. Unfortunately, Genesis rejected my documentation, and I'm still being charged for August. I never missed a payment and my account was fully paid through July. This has been an extremely frustrating experience. The lack of communication, inconsistent information, and failure to honor what I was told has been very disappointing. I expected a much smoother cancellation process, especially after providing everything that was requested.
