First ever Crossfit drop-in. Immediately felt welcome. Was given perfect instructions by Coach Sam. Athletes were very polite. CLEAN GYM! Great WOD! Highly recommended!

I was part of the six week challenge and crushed it with the help of the Sparks CrossFit staff. I was able to lose 23 pounds and 6% body fat. My personal coach that helped me with my meal plan, encouraged and supported me throughout this whole experience. Brandon Bailey and Abby Murphy continued to teach me what needed to do to strengthen my CrossFit skills. I am so glad for the opportunity to complete a challenge with Spark CrossFit.
P.s. be prepared to buy new clothes.

Great gym with great coaches. Really enjoy Sparks workout programming. They do a really good job of balancing out all muscle groups throughout the week. The coaches are super helpful and provide awesome tips during workouts.
Will is also an awesome guy and owner. He really went out of his way to help me out. I'm a teacher and money was the biggest obstacle regarding a prolonged CrossFit experience. Will worked out some options to help me stay and continue to work on my fitness goals.
The staff here really does provide a sense of community and support.

I love coming to Spark Crossfit. My fiancee and I wanted to get in shape and eat healthier, so we came to Spark Crossfit to jump-start our lifestyle change. We are two weeks in and we are staying true to the nutrition plan and we workout three times a week at Spark. In two weeks, I've lost 6.5 pounds and my fiancee has lost 5.5 pounds. We love the coaches and the classes. We feel comfortable attending the classes, even when we haven't done the particular exercises before. The coaches are always there to show you the proper technique and make sure you are doing each move correctly. We love the community and everyone encourages each other throughout the workouts. If you're thinking about making a change or you need a new gym, this is the place to come!

Mr. Hurst,
I find your approach, Will Hurst owner of Spark Cross fit , of cyber stalking too be rude and unprofessional. Trying to blackmail me into responding and removing my review. One message was enough, then Will Hurst took it to far. Sending a message of a threatening manner of blackmail. I would never cyber stalk someone on social media, like Will Hurst owner of Spark Cross fit did to beg for an answer and remove my review. Will Hurst owner of Spark Cross fit should be ashamed of himself.

It's not what was offered or what was wrong. Your wife was very kind to me, answered all of my questions, and offered free class on line. It's what I did not feel In the space , the energy was not there for me and the floor plan was choppy.

I started at Spark CrossFit by participating in their 6 week challenge. Before starting, I had always heard that crossfit had a bad reputation. I decided to try Spark CrossFit because I was interested in learning more about this type of exercise. I wanted to know if the reputation I had heard of was true. Point blank, it isn't true. At least not here. Everyone was more than welcoming and is really positive and encouraging all the time. It can be pretty daunting to walk into a new gym and workout with new people, especially at a gym like this that uses free weights. You can't cower between machines like you might do at another gym. The thing that really hooked me on continuing with Spark is the fact that I don't feel in competition with those around me like you might feel at another gym. The focus isn't on out-doing your neighbor, but rather out-doing your past self; to grow and progress and encourage those around you to out-do their past self. I have taken classes with almost every coach now, and I can honestly say that there isn't a bad coach. Each one of them explains the workout with clarity, and responds really well to questions. They are really excited to answer form questions and come up with modifications to a work out if necessary. In a nutshell, this gym exceeded my expectations. I love the overall vibe of this place and how welcome, encouraged and challenged I feel every day.

This place is wonderful. I joined the 6 week challenge lost 20 lbs and 6.2% body fat. This was all done with a meal plan that was provided to me along with the encouragement from coaches and other members as well. I have participated in several different crossfit gyms over the years and Spark does not dissapoint. Not only do the owners Will and Erin along with the coaches take a personal interest in your progress but the other members are supportive and encouraging as well. I am so lucky to have found a place that is convenient for me as it is close to work and home leaving me without any excuses for not getting in and improving my overall fitness. A big thank you to all of the coaches and fellow members that continually push me to be better every day.

I first stepped into this gym with zero CrossFit experience back in November of 2015. I needed something new, challenging and rewarding. I quickly found it at this box. I've learned more about fitness, become in tune with my body and more dialed in on my eating habits over the past 2 1/2 years than ever before. I am still an active member today. The box is super spacious, it seems the equipment is always being updated and is well taken care of. Plenty of equipment for mobility too! The morning coaches (Ryan, Abby, Brandon, and Tyler) genuinely care about personal progress and form during each workout. They will point out your weaknesses and help you improve them. If you can't do a certain movement they will provide scaling options. The owners (Erin and Will) are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The members are welcoming and can quickly become some of your best friends and fit family. Spark continues to push me to be a better version of myself on a weekly basis!

I have had the most amazing experience with this gym, I was inspired by one of my friends to do the CrossFit challenge and decided to join Spark. Not only are the owners Erin and Will so extremely attentive and caring, but all of the other trainers are amazing as well. I definitely put my time in here and followed what they set for me, and it worked! I was able to lose 21 pounds and 4% body fat, accomplishing things that I thought I'd never be able to do! For anyone hesitant about joining Spark CrossFit, Do It!!!!

The coaches and owners are all amazing people. I was uncomfortable going into the gym at first since I was overweight and not nearly as talented as most of the people working out, but I quickly discovered that everyone is super nice and helpful. The coaches really care and work with you to keep improving on your form. This gym is like family and I can't think of a better place to spend my free time. No matter what level of fitness you're at, there's a place for you at Spark.

I literally drive past 5 other crossfit gyms to go to Spark because they have a welcoming and friendly community, knowledgeable and helpful trainers, and a pair of awesome owners who pride themselves on the successes of their members.

I started at Spark with a body fat challenge to drop 5% in 6 weeks to begin 2018. The nutrition coach helped me balance my macros and eat the right amount of calories, while the trainers patiently helped me to learn all the new movements and exercises in the crossfit workouts. There are classes starting as early as 5am and as late as 7.30pm, plus options for more rigorous cardio classes as well, so I could get training on my schedule. The synced apps they run at Spark and amenities in the bldg (like a shower!) make for a great place to train.

Did I mention the community is great?! The support shown to me by strangers who have quickly become friends is unmatched in my years working out.

Come for the fitness but stay for the amazing community. I love this gym!! I've been with Spark Crossfit for 3 years and before that I had never touched weights and was a dedicated cardio girl, but I used to have recurring issues with my knees from running on the pavement and canals.

Since I joined, I've been able to strength my legs with weight training and haven't needed physical therapy in 3 years. The coaches have been amazing as they've taught me the basics and made sure I used correct form and lighter weights so I didn't get injured.

Don't be scared because of all the crazy stories you hear about Crossfit. Just go slow and listen to your coaches. You'll be glad you did! Highly recommend!!!

A good friend of mine told me he thought I would enjoy CrossFit. As a regional qualifier in the CrossFit Games, my friend knows his boxes. He suggested I join Spark CrossFit and in 2 and a half years since starting, I've never looked back.

The owners, coaches and community are great! No one here has an attitude. Everyone, and I mean everyone is helpful and supportive and the staff's level of expertise is high.

The facility is excellent and clean. The equipment is well maintained and top notch. They just opened an additional 2,000+ square feet, so the box is spacious. Parking is ample and access is very good. The community keeps growing which, is one of the best indicators of it's success.

I recently moved my office which was located near Spark CrossFit. I now commute nearly 30-minutes to workout. But I never considered finding another box, of which there are many in Phoenix.

I'm 60+ in age, and have been active my entire life with many sports; from wrestling and martial arts to skiing and surfing. The physical gains I've made here are amazing and my conditioning rivals my younger years.

While I'm very competitive, the coaches encourage me to scale whenever they see I might be biting off more than i can chew. Some Rx's work for me and some don't. The priority here is learning proper form within your abilities. I noticed a review here from an older participant stating an injury was ignored. I have never, ever - EVER seen that here. If I've tweaked something, the coaches will modify the WOD for me or encourage me to heal rather than aggravate anything.

If you want to train for the CrossFit games, you can do so here. Or, if you are a mere mortal, you also fit right in. The expertise and equipment to take you as far as you can go is there.

Thanks to Will and Erin for running a great box and fostering a fun, diverse and supportive community !

I have been with Spark for about three years. It has been a pleasure and I have met some really awesome people over the years. Will is always improving the gym with new equipment and expansion. If you ever wanted to try it they have a great beginner program that will help you transition. Don't hesitate because you will meet some great new friends and people who are trying to better themselves all around.

First step through the door and I already liked the feel of the atmosphere here. The owners and coaches are very welcoming as are the gym members. The coaches are always willing to help you improve, all you have to do is ask! The gym members are friendly and are some of the first friends I made in the area when I moved down a year and a half ago. I have grown physically and mentally at this box with the great support here.

This gym made me love working out again. The community is Awesome, there's always fun event like bbqs and outside functions. Also the equipment here is TOP NOTCH. The owners are always putting money into the gym for new equipment and facilities. They even recently just installed a shower! Also following their program I've gained way more strength here than I would of on my own at LA fitness. Definitely recommend here.

Place is awesome. All you need is a little spark in your life

Great box to drop into. Had a great time with a great coaching staff. This place has a little something for everyone.

October 19, 2017 10:15

Amazing place to work out. Great community and people. The workouts are fun and tough with great instruction from the coaches. This place will definitely push you to get to that next level and help you reach your fitness goals.

October 19, 2017 10:15

Absolutely would recommend Spark Crossfit (formerly Black Storm) for any box you are looking for. The staff are knowledgeable and stress form over everything. They will stop you from being the "dumb crossfit" person that has stigmatized the crossfit community so much. Highly recommended

October 19, 2017 10:15

I was told by the meatheads here that I couldn't do crossfit because of a prior knee injury. I'm doing crossfit in Scottsdale now with trainers who developed a routine specifically for me. Something tells me the "trainers" here don't have much training.

October 19, 2017 10:15

I was in town for thanksgiving and dropped in this gym for three days straight. The staff was awesome (thanks again Justin & Brooke!), the facilities were amazing, and the community was welcoming and friendly. I met the owners too and they were super cool and extremely knowledgeable. I can't say enough nice things about this place, and if I lived in the Phoenix area, I would without question join this box. Good to know I'll be able to drop in such a nice gym for every holiday I'm in town for. Highly recommended
