This is a fun place to CrossFit. The coaches are really good. They will help you make forward progress no matter what your existing fitness level. We especially like the Saturday morning wods.
Great programing, great staff, great gym!I trained at Cantina Crossfit for 2 months in 2021. The facilities are excellent here and the programming had a lot of diversity, which I really liked: Metcons, strength-based powerlifting, barbell movements, gymnastics, bodyweight, and endurance. The gym itself is very large and open, with huge windows that give you views of the Sandia Mountains. There was a lot of room and enough equipment to accommodate all athletes. The staff are very accommodating and really work with the athletes to ensure they are having a great experience.Ive been to many CrossFit boxes as Ive traveled across the country and would highly recommend this gym. Ill be back on my next time through ABQ.
I dropped in at this gym back in December and signed to have my card charged a drop in rate. I’ve been being charged ever since and have emailed back and forth with staff and left multiple messages with no luck. In my email they apologized and said it would not happen again but I’ve been charged 2 more times. Everytime I call and leave a message they do not respond. If you don’t want to be locked into a lifetime membership, don’t try dropping in here while passing through Albuquerque.
I dropped in at this gym while passing through on vacation. This gym was awesome! Very clean, nice equipment and most of all, the coach/owner and other members were very welcoming. If you want a good workout in the shadows of the Sandia mountains, this is your place!
I have been to several Crossfit Gyms across the country. Cantina Crossfit is the BEST that I have been too! The newly built-out facility has around 7000 sf of space with showers and a great retail space. The Staff and Trainers are a welcoming team that makes the athletes feel like family. I have met several athletes there who have experienced life change at Cantina. I visit Albuquerque frequently and plan on working out at Cantina every chance I can.....Keep up the great work, Cantina Crossfit! It is clear that you are passionate about people and fitness!!!
From the first time I walked in the door, everyone at Cantina Crossfit was extremely welcoming and quickly made me feel like part of the family. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and take the time to get to know you as an athlete, which kept all the movements safe and allowed me to get the most out of every workout. This is the perfect box for beginners and seasoned athletes. Thank you John, Kathy, and the rest of the crew at Cantina. I am going to miss you guys!
Came to Cantina for a month while I was in ABQ on a business trip. John (owner) worked with me on drop in pricing so I figured Id give it a shot. From workout 1, the coaches (and members) greeted me like Id been a member for years. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and warm plus the programming was awesome. The coaches were experienced and very in tune with customer needs (injuries, form, etc.) but also pushed the hell out of you during the workout. Ill absolutely go back when Im in town again.
Crossfit Cantina was recently able to accommodate me for a month long drop in. They were fantastic and very welcoming. By the time I left I really felt like I was a part of a gym! They are an absolutely lovely group of people in a very nice facility!
Came for two drop-ins during the open. Loved the place!!!! John the owner was great, made me feel right at home. The coaches were awesome!! Cant wait to come back!! Thanks CrossFit Cantina!!!!!
Nice box for a drop in. Amazing views of Sandia Peak from the rowers :) Very friendly folks here who made me feel welcome.
The coaches at this box have a unified purpose: to help their clients attain greater levels of fitness, functional mobility, strength, and overall health. They are some of the most motivating and encouraging trainers I have ever met. As a new member, they scaled workouts to my current fitness level and gave me the tools to improve. I have always felt like a welcome part of the community here. You will too!If you are new to CrossFit, or just want to check out this box, stop by for an intro class. It will change how you look at fitness.
Cantina CrossFit embodies what Crossfit should be about - improving your fitness no matter if youre new to exercise or a super fit athlete with a great community. While Im originally an Albuquerque native, I moved away 20 years ago and only get to visit occasionally. Ive dropped into other CF boxes while home, but this was my first experience at Cantina CF. While John (the owner) couldnt have been more kind, welcoming, and hospitable...it was actually the MEMBERS and the other people who are part of Johns team that set this place apart. People were SO SO nice...asking me where I was from and just making general conversation, welcoming me home to the 505 even though I was just visiting for a few days. And once the WOD started, you could see there were varying levels of fitness...and they all worked out to the best of their ability with the support and push from the coaches and fellow members. This place is a gem. If I moved home, Id have no doubt Id join Cantina in a heartbeat.On a side note, on my flight home, my connection was in Denver. My flight out of ABQ was delayed, so when I landed in Denver - they were already boarding my flight home to the NJ. According to the text I received, the anticipated time for me to get from my arrival gate to my departure gate would be 24 minutes. Not knowing they hold planes in this day and age...I engaged my CrossFit mentality and said, well, lets have some fun with this. I threw on my backpack and started my timer. I got to my gate in 11 minutes...a little sweaty, a little out of breath (I blame the altitude), but I beat the 24 minute time cap. Thats what CrossFit is about in my opinion. You train your fitness in the box, but you train so that you can USE your fitness in real life when you need it. Thanks for your hospitality, Cantina CF!
Had a great drop-in experience. Cantina is a great box and everyone was very friendly. The WOD was one of the hardest Ive done. Forgot we were at 6k feet of elevation, not the 1.2k Im use to.
Extremely friendly and helpful coaches and staff. Great place for beginners to get into crossfit but also very appropriate for experts who want to bump up their game. Tons of classes perfect for any schedule and a great location!
This was a fantastic box to stop by for a drop-in. The staff was super friendly, the workouts good,l and the prices super reasonable. If youre in the area I highly recommend it.
Just did a drop in class with cantina and it was such an amazing experience! We were greeted at the door with open arms! The wod was awesome and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. I recommend this Crossfit gym to anyone who is visiting Albuquerque, you won’t be disappointed!!
By far the best place to get a great work out and everyone is like family looking for same goals! Thank you!
I had an AMAZING experience at Cantina Crossfit. I was a gymnast for most of my life so my workouts arent your typical workout and I get bored very easily. Jordan was a great instructor and walked me through the gym and the WOD. I was so impressed with the energy and fast paced work outs provided. The WODS are awesome and keep things exciting. I love working out here and tell all my friends to check it out!
Awesome place, amazing location, excellent, atmosphere and staff. I great place to get a effective workout!
Amazing trainers and dedicated athletes of all levels. Even kid friendly!
Its an amazing workout space.
