I've been going to CedarFIT off and on since 2012. I first starting going under a special plan and…read moreenjoyed my results. It is a pretty pricey membership to attend, but now that there are two locations, it does make it better value. If you miss a day or two, or even a week, it makes you regret spending a lot of money for a membership. That helps me be consistent, but it isn't always affordable or within my budget. I have recently re-joined after injuring myself likely due to heavy lifting worsened by my job of having to hike daily. I like that most of the trainers are well versed in how to modify the movements and keep it from hurting myself further. I wish that Cedar did more of the training herself because she is top notch. I appreciate trainers looking out for proper form and hope that going here will help me rebuild muscles and stabilizers for me to continue my journey.

First off just let me say my boyfriend is a competitive/ professional Crossfitter and as such he…read morehas always been very specific about form and techniques used in Crossfit. That being said, when I first began CedarFit he was concerned that I would be joining a "gym" that was about the burn without care for safety. Needless to say, his fears regarding CedarFit were misconstrued. The coaches at CedarFit take every care to ensure safety and form. This isn't to say that they go "easy" on you...these coaches will push you to your utmost potential as you evolve towards your fitness goals. Whether those goals are to lose weight, gain muscle, or just get healthy, they provide the tools and motivation to help you do your best. One thing I value more than anything about CedarFit is the community. It is one big happy family. One concern I had before starting was that it would be clicky or that people would be judgemental. Not here! I was warmly welcomed by all. Ever since joining the CedarFit family, i have made lasting friendships with other positive people.

Normally I okay with this gym. But for the last few weeks it's been hot in the gym. I've talked to…read moredesk about it and they tell me the work order is in. They should also add fans in the weight area.

It's been a couple of weeks and the A/C has still not been fixed. I've asked the front desk and…read morehave been told "I have no idea when it'll be fixed." They do have huge portable evaporative coolers but it's not enough. Ever since new management has taken over this place has gone downhill. It's not as clean as it used to be and the staff is not friendly. They're always looking down at their phones. The previous management and crew were so much better all around. I still go to this location only because it's closest to my house but am considering other options.

I've been a member on and off at Brickz since 2018. It's amazing! I love the class style workouts…read more The trainers are great! It's definitely more of a community than a gym. They opened a wellness next door that offers different recovery options. The massage with Liz is excellent. Definitely try out both locations

In my opinion…read more.. Cons: *grab your popcorn* -The first turn off was signing up for a trial class- at 5 am, and being told when I got there my spot was taken by paying members. -The second was walking into the gym and after doing body scans (InBody) they show you a picture of womens' midsections and body fat and ask you "which do you want your body to look like?" This was SUCH a turn off for me but for some reason I decided to give it a chance. I understand a metric is needed and this may work for a lot of people, seems like it does, but it was just so ick to me as well as unrealistic. -Turns out this is one of those money maker gyms that talks in circles and confuses you to make you think you are signing up for the 6 week program they say they are putting you on, only for me to attempt to cancel within the 15 days request period and learn the contract I signed was apparently for a 12 months! READ THE FINE PRINT AND GET A COPY OF YOUR CONTRACT!! I feel like this whole situation was crafted in a distinct way to no allow you to understand fully, to sign, and to not give you a copy of your contract but think you got away with a good deal/membership. -The gym was unfriendly and unwelcoming. They have a good facade going making it seem like they are into building community. They have group hikes, bike rides and spirit days, but when it came to time inside the gym my experience was that no one cared if I was there or not. I don't need to be best friends with everyone or anyone for that matter, but especially when working out before the crack of dawn a "Hi" or 'Hello" goes a long way. That's a big factor in wanting to come back to a gym, especially a small one like this. This is not your big box gym after all. At minimum the coaches should offer a greeting. The group I trained with was very clicky. I will say the afternoon groups seemed to be more welcoming. After making my feelings on the matter known to the gym owner it seemed there had been a coaches meeting or something because I got more "Hi's" and "How are you's?" from the staff in my last week there then in my previous 5 weeks combined. -The 6 week program: overall fine, but be wary of the nutrition program. I feel like it was portrayed as they would give you meal plans and/or outlines and what to eat. They give you a list of foods to eat and everyone gets the same foods and eats the same amount. That's the plan. -When you sign up for strength classes you are allotted a time slot which is yours for the day and time you sign up for each week. Fine. What is annoying is that if you can't make that time they don't have an app where you can change your time to or a mindbody type thing where you can swap. You text the coaches to see if there is room in the class you want to be in. This is SUPER ANNOYING because most of the time I don't' know who is coaching what class so then they are texting each other to see if it's ok OR they just say "I'm sure it'll be fine" Which would maybe be fine if I didn't get booted out of my first attempt at class and I'm not trying to wake up and be at the gym at 5am to not get to do the workout I signed up for or was told it would be fine to to come to! Pros: -Clean facility -Good equipment -Workouts were nice Overall I would not recommend. I think they are in it for the money and while we were able to come to a "compromise" for the agreement I signed there were so many red flags I should've listened to. I chose Brickz because when I searched it was one of the only gyms I found with small group training. JUST BE CAREFUL, MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING AND THOROUGHLY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE SIGNING UP FOR BEFORE YOU DO, AS WELL AS FEEL COMFORTABLE. Hopefully some of my frustrations will allow them to change some of their business practices.

When you walk in you are in awe of the magnitude of all the climbing walls in this massive space…read more It is so bright and cheerful. There are walls of different climbing ability. Some have smaller gaps of grabs for smaller children and people. There is a procedure to putting in the harness and gear. They have lots of staff on hand to help out. My 2 grandchildren went to camp here this week. They really enjoyed getting to meet other children and practice skills that they already had learned here on prior visits. My only complaint was a really bossy camp leader who constantly picked on one of my grandkids when she was only doing what she was instructed to do. I overheard him bad mouthing her to other staff and within earshot of my self and other patrons. This was unnecessary and unprofessional. I would hope that he checks his huge ego when he goes to work here in the future.

Great Staff, Clean Gym, wonderful free kids climbing area WITH a slide!(the other location does not…read morehave a slide). I 100% recommend this gym and all their programs for climbers young and old. My kids at 3 and 6 Love this place! Pro tip: Their annual gym sign up discount is in October each year!

The trainers who work here are so dedicated to fitness and helping you improve in whichever way…read moreyou're looking for and understand that each person has different goals - I personally take a class taught by Jude who has creative ways to work your body while giving you that tough love and motivation you need in a gym. He's super informative, demonstrates the techniques very well and in a way you can understand and visualize. The equipment is well maintained and everyone I encounter is professional, fun, and super friendly. You feel welcome and that makes it even easier to get a work-out in... forget the "no judgement zone" - we do need judgement and critique in the right ways, and this gym is just the place for that. I like how I am told if I'm not properly completing an exercise because in the long run you only hurt yourself and waste your time if you aren't. I would recommend this facility to anyone I know. I believe that they have the skill set to change my habits and I know I have been much more active and motivated since I started coming here. After going to many other gyms, I can truly say I feel that the intimacy of this one holds you accountable (without making you feel bad when you can't be) and that's truly what I need. Happy to have found you, Elevate!

The leadership at this F45 is phenomenal, the community is welcoming, and the workouts are challenging and fun. It's hard work, but there's so much going on that the time absolutely flies by. We traveled to Albuquerque for Labor Day weekend to visit my In-laws. We usually stay at an Airbnb when we visit, but decided to stay at Springhill Suites this time. After a long day of travel with small children and a connecting flight mishap, we sat down for dinner at Cocina Azul next to the hotel. I glanced out the window, and I was shocked when I saw a sign for F45 among the list of businesses in the complex. In a beautiful coincidence, I had signed up for a membership at my local F45 in the Bay Area the day before we left for our trip, after I had been searching for the "right fit" in a gym for a while. The morning after I saw the F45 sign, I called F45 Albuquerque and spoke to Kendall, who I believe is the owner. I explained my situation and asked if I could pay as a drop in, and she generously offered to host me!! I took two classes: one with Stephanie and the other with Stephanie and Bodhi. Stephanie was so welcoming. She went out of her way to look out for me and patiently help me with both form and logistics (moving to the correct stations). Bodhi helped me with a really challenging station, and taught me something game changing in just a few seconds! I am so grateful for this precious and unexpected gift. Thank you so much, Kendall. Run, don't walk, to this fantastic F45! And if you can't run easily right now, it's okay -- you're going to level up in your strength and endurance quickly at this wonderful gem of a gym!
