CrossFit 480

Best CF gym in the Valley. Excellent, well-rounded programming to achieve all levels of strength and fitness goals. Emphasis on proper technique and injury prevention. Top notch coaches. Great supportive member community. AND the gym is spotless. I've dropped in to quite a few CF gyms across the country and this is by far the cleanest gym I've ever visited. I've been a member for nearly 3yrs and continue to be impressed with CF 480.

I haven't been in the gym yet, but I requested programming from one of the coaches to use during a recent vacation. My husband and I used the programming for a week and though it was intense, we loved the results! I highly recommend the coaches and will be checking out the gym while I'm in Scottsdale in February!

480 has been my home for the past three years and I'd recommend it to anyone. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or you're competing, there's a place for everyone at 480. The programming is extremely well designed and the coaches have so much experience that workouts are easily modified for all abilities and there's so much knowledge that the multiple regional and games coaches have to pass on. There's no intimidation factor here - its a great group of people (members and coaches) just showing up and pushing to get stronger and fitter. I value how low key the gym is and true sense of community that's developed. I've dropped in to a number of gyms and realize how lucky I am to have found 480.

While visiting my brother, I tagged along to a 7am workout. The gym was clean and didn't have the usual musky gym smell, which I can imagine was due largely in part to the large retractable wall that opened up onto the sidewalk, allowing a very welcome Arizona breeze. The gym was stocked with equipment, and had a very efficient layout although it was not an exceptionally large space. There was maybe 8 or 10 of us, and we all had plenty of room to complete our equipment specific exercises. It looked as though 10 or so more people could have been accommodated if need be. The other members were incredibly welcoming, offering encouragement and tips throughout the workout. Derek, our coach (and the owner), was incredibly informative and knowledgeable. Not only did he break down the workout before we started, he also demonstrated each exercise and showed the proper form. Now, let me add Ive heard (and seen) some trainers and coaches yell and scream - this was not his style. He encouraged without discouraging. Get this- he even took the time to point out some errors in my form. Think about that for a minute: He knew that I would never come back, at least, not until my next visit, and he still took the time. That is true professionalism. I highly recommend anyone in the Scottsdale area check this place out, you will not be disappointed. You will, however, be a little sore! Thank you Derek and the team at Crossfit 480!

I was in town for an extended work-related trip and decided to drop-in at CrossFit 480. The place was close to where I was staying and had a schedule that accommodated my needs. That is why I initially chose CrossFit 480 over the others in the area. However, starting with my very first class I knew this was going to be a great place to continue to drop into during my entire stay in Scottsdale. The members are extremely friendly and very welcoming. I felt right at home. The programming is great for those just starting out in CrossFit as well as those with experience. Derek, the owner and coach, does a great job every class emphasizing mobility exercises and stretching, and takes his time to explain each day's WOD and movements. I highly recommend CrossFit 480 for anyone visiting the Scottsdale area and for residents as well. You can't go wrong.
