Super cool people here. Very impressed with the knowledge of each of the trainers. Very focused on correct technique for every lift. So welcoming, it can be intimidating to go to a new gym and the gym nuts get scary, it makes you want to just sleep in instead of working out. This place is not that! Just a bunch of people of all ages that want to get fit, feel good, and have fun doing it.
I joined Sandia Crossfit when I moved to Abq 2 years ago, and it was the best decision I made. If I had not come, I would have probably failed at any fitness goals and been much unhealthier. I started in the boot camp, which simultaneously teaches the basics of weightlifting and crossfit movement techniques while not being overwhelming for a beginner. The class itself is well-programmed to be challenging for anyone at any level - the trainers give plenty of scaling options, and are super willing to accomodate more specific needs (i.e. I sprained my wrist [not by doing crossfit] and they gave me movements to do that would keep me from using my wrist but would still target all muscle groups). They offer a variety of programs, and unlike most boxes they are focused on a more holistic version of fitness - they have a program specifically for Olympic lifting, but they also include Oly training as a staple in their regular programming on top of Metcons. The trainers are super attentive during class, watching you to make sure you don't injure yourself, and are very willing to give you one-on-one attention to improve your technique. The people that attend are very friendly and relaxed, but if you're the type of person who just wants to work out and be anti-social (me) they also respect that.
Highly recommended for drop-ins (if you ask, you'll get lots of suggestions for cool local things to do if you're visiting) and highly recommended for membership as the team are very focused on getting you to your end goals.
As a side note, SCF also is home to the Coolest Barbell Club Ever, who participate in local and national Olympic Weightlifting competitions. It's a ton of fun - check it out!
This gym has different programs for weightlifting, CrossFit, and boot camps throughout the year and is very flexible with your schedule and has really helpful trainers to help you succeed with your different goals. Definitely check it out in person for yourself!
Best trainers in the business! Programming is awesome and has been keeping me coming back for 3 years.
A great place for a great workout! The trainers are always helpful in pushing me to achieve my next workout goal in a way that's both safe and challenging. My classmates root each other on and there just overall awesome people who come here every day!

Charming environment where excellence is cultivated like produce on a sustainable pesticide-free organic farm. The trainers are artists who pour their souls into their craft like Hemingway, agonizing over precisely the right way to communicate and instruct every student.
It was a mistake to come to this gym. The entire time, I felt as if I was dealing with 16-year-old girls trapped in adult bodies. They're incredibly callous if they decide you're not worth their energy (well, some of them). There are other gyms with better communities in Albuquerque.
Get fit or go home! I've asked a lot of questions during my 6 Week Challenge. The instructor is willing to provide an answer with body technique demonstrations. It's an easy atmosphere.
I tried the 5 week challenge.. and it was a waste of my money.. the trainers are not good and they careless of what your goal is. I just attended for 2 weeks and stopped going.
So, I had left a review under the old listing (before they moved to the new location). Matt and Zach own, in my opinion, one of the best gyms in Albuquerque. They bring the right mixture of snarkiness and motivation to get you through a workout.
In addition to hosting "normal" CrossFit programming, they also have monthly and seasonal events. Things like Paleo Challenges, and in-house competitions that sponsor charities. As an example they allowed me to conduct a "Burpee Challenge" for the Green Beret Foundation, and provided plenty of heckling (as well as donations), and made the classes do burpees with me in a show of solidarity.
If you are on the fence about joining a CrossFit gym (Box) due to the typical "douchy" attitude you get at a lot of facilities, have no fear at Sandia CrossFit. Testosterone is left at the door, and the atmosphere is welcoming and supportive for people of all ages and fitness levels.
