Chris, Megan, Kim, Alyssa, and Grant, are so great here! They have classes that accommodate athletes at all fitness levels, and every class is made fun by the coaches. I have gone to CrossFit gyms in the past that feel very cliquey, and that is not the case here. Everyone is so friendly and the coaches make it a point to have the newcomers introduced to the existing members. They also offer Yoga classes, and in my 5 years of practice, Megan is my favorite teacher I've ever had!
I’ve know the owners for almost 10 years, the Cannons are outstanding people that have created a unique family feel to the gym. The members are all welcoming and have formed a sort of community. The space is in a great location, they offer plenty of class times and as well, yoga and different types of workshops. There are people of all different fitness levels, and the coaches can adapt your workout to your level. Above all, the people here are genuine and great to be around, you can get a great workout and be around like minded people.
I've been going to this gym for about a month and a half. I have nothing but good things to say. I had never done crossfit before this, so I was always intimidated when people told me I inevitably would get injured when I started. A month and a half in, I feel healthier, stronger, and motivated to continue. The coaches are always attentive to form and will jump in to make sure people are lifting safely. Regarding culture, everyone is super friendly. It's a really welcoming gym.
Papago Crossfit will change your life. The coaches are awesome and incredibly knowledgeable regarding exercise, technique, health, nutrition, etc. The community of members are inspiring and motivational. I know that it can be intimidating to try a new gym if you're out of shape, especially if you've never tried Crossfit before. I had never done Olympic lifting before starting at Papago Crossfit. Just know that there is a starting place for everyone and the coaches and members will be happy to help you along the way. You will soon be in the best shape of your life.
I found this gym randomly as I was looking for something close to my home and work. I decided to give it a try, and from the moment I started communicating with Chris it was a real pleasure. It's clear that this is his life's work, and it comes out in every workout and interaction! Megan his wife, who handles the yoga is fantastic! She is one of the best communicators, and can do wonders with people who have never even tried yoga before. Between the two of them they have completed changed mine and my fiancé Annie's outlook on working out. We are now in the best shape of our lives after only 4 months, thank you Chris and Megan!
I've been going to Papago Crossfit for about a year now, and I love it! I especially enjoy the fact that they have both Crossfit and Yoga classes. The coaches are great and work with you on your current fitness levels and those you want to achieve.
Every time we visit Scottsdale we make it a point to work out at Papago CrossFit. There are numerous places we could work out when we're in town, but the owner's attitude and welcoming nature make it a joy to work out at Papago CrossFit. From strength training to yoga to nutrition advice, they offer everything we are looking for and Chris and Megan the owners are fantastic!

Whether your goal is to sweat it out with CrossFit, or calm it down with Yoga, you've found your place. :
