I recently joined Ben’s gym after training at other CrossFit gyms for a while, and honestly, this place feels different — in the best way possible. Ben is so much more than just a gym owner. He’s present, encouraging, and genuinely invested in everyone’s progress. He and the rest of the coaching team are always on the floor, giving feedback, helping with form, and making sure every athlete gets the support they need. You can tell they truly care about people, not just performance. From the first day, Ben made me feel welcome and part of the community. The workouts are challenging and smartly programmed, but it’s Ben’s energy, attention to detail, and passion — along with the dedication of his coaching staff — that make you want to keep showing up. I’m so glad I made the switch!

Coach Cindy is an amazing motivator and encourages each person to keep pushing. She also takes the time to break down each movement which makes it easier to master new skills

Ben is always very knowledgeable and prepared to help me with any modifications I might need. He is also extremely encouraging and helps me to feel motivated to keep coming back. With Ben's help, I keep making PRs and have surprised myself with what I can do. Thanks, Ben!

As always, an excellent class! Feeling very supported and motivated, and above all, confident knowing that he’s always there, paying attention to every detail to help us improve our technique. Thank you to Ben today, and thanks to everyone for always making our training sessions the best.

In addition to Des’s incredible technical knowledge she also knows her athletes personal strengths and weaknesses so well that she can quickly tell anyone what their adaptations should be to improve as well as push their strengths hard so they can continue to improve those as well.

Class was great! I love the attention to technique. Those small changes here and there are really impactful. I also love how there are different options for different levels of fitness and certain injuries. I have a knee injury and have to be mindful of certain movements, instead of having to skip out on certain exercises all together I'm always given other options whether its tweaking my form, frequency, or given another exercise option that still focuses on the area but not as intense. Looking forward to the next class!

I love having Des coach. The 330 class is a beast that requires a strong voice to rally the athletes and simmer down some the shenanigans to allow everyone to get a quality workout in and still have fun. I usually need an extra push and second guess my workout choices, and Des is always there to say, "you got this!" She has the ability to run a class of 1 or a class of 20 with ease- or at least she makes it look easy! CFA is lucky to have you :)

Thank you, Gabby, for your exceptional support today! Your dedication to ensuring everyone understood how to properly perform the deadlift was greatly appreciated. Your patience in explaining the technique and checking in with each person about how they felt during the workout made a significant difference. Your attention to detail and care truly stood out, creating a supportive and encouraging environment for all of us.

Ben does a fantastic job at explaining the workout and reviewing each movement. He’s very attentive to each person while, as a class, are working on each step of a movement to ensure proper form. He is quick to help you adjust and lets you know when you’ve got it right! He’s quick to call you out and say what you did great at. Like “ Heather, nice fast elbows, or “great catch” or “nice shrug”! That’s the stuff that keeps a person motivated and knowing that they’re doing it right! He has such a great attitude and is full of jokes that makes the atmosphere fun no matter how hard the workout may be. He really cares about each person and is very passionate at what he does. It defiantly shows in his coaching style. I enjoy watching him help people be better and being a cheerleader that makes you want to be better!

I really enjoy classes when Desi is the coach, you can always depend on her showing up for you 100%. She engages and encourages every single person in the class and pays close attention to make sure you’re doing all the movements correctly and safely. She also is great at knowing what’s working for you and what isn’t so you’re able to alter the workout in a way that allows you to still get a great session but also not discouraging you the the point of quitting. She always brings her A game to coaching and she expects you to also bring yours!

I have dropped in a few times at Crossfit Anazao, and the coaches and members are always welcoming. I appreciate the time and attention Coach Ben takes to break down and demonstrate the movements. He gives great cues and understands the delicate balance of challenging members with meeting them where they are at on any given day. Thanks for the hospitality Coach Ben and CF Anazao members!

Heather has helped me sooo much with my techniques. She always has some small modification for me to make with the various lifts that make such a big difference. Just something like "try pointing your toes out a little more" or "try this to engage your lats more". When I'm in the middle of a tough set, im not always super receptive to instruction but Heather always presents the instruction in such a way that I understand and so that I know she is only trying to make me better. I always enjoy Heather's classes very much.
