Theres no place like Bion Crossfit Gym to get your body and mind feeling like a million bucks! This is a hidden jewel in Tucson. Welcoming and encouraging staff, great equipment, well designed gym and wonderful peer support in the 5:30 am class as the sun rises over the mountains. Amazing views! The gym is well kept, tidy and clean and offers many positive surprises.What about the results. As background, I arrived at the gym with aches and pains in my neck, shoulders and upper arms, that woke me up in the night. I had limited range of motion and no activation in some muscles. Working on the computer had finally caught up with me and the decline in normal activities during Covid year pushed me to an all time low in physical well-being.In addition to the Crossfit class at 5:30 am, I worked with PT Manny. Explode is the one word I take home from him. With his help, my muscles remembered again how to explode and I got so much stronger in just a few weeks! He was able to tailor the trainings to help me with my specific problem areas. Mannys 7-year background in the Navy has made him solid as a rock. However, his best quality is how he lifts other people up, be it personal training or a large group session. Choose Manny, if your muscles need some explosive action after taking it easy for too long! :DAs complementary to my active training, I had a weekly session of stretching with Reed. I really enjoyed his confidence, skill and knowledge in working on my body and helping it recover from all the workouts. As a person who has received bodywork 2-4 times a month for two decades, I felt instantly comfortable and can warmly recommend Reed.Independently and with Manny, I complemented my workouts with Crossover rubber bands and Rumbleroller foam rollers. Both experiences were new to me and I rate them excellent. I was so impressed with Rumbleroller, I ordered 5 rollers to have at home.Saturdays the gym offered a class for kids and I was very happy for the opportunity to give my 11-year old daughter a taste of crossfit training.After three months at Bion Crossfit & Personal Training, my body was transformed. I started to catch myself jogging to and from my car, just from feeling so comfortable in my body. I felt years younger. I have been helped to a path of healing. I am hungry for more. I am taking away so many new skills and a great mindset for training. I would be one of the regulars at Bion Crossfit, but sadly am moving thousands of miles away from Tucson. If I ever visit Tucson, youll know where to find me at 5:30 am. :DIf you get a chance, its worth while to even catch a few trainings at this gym. Your body and mind will thank you!

If you’re looking to start crossfit, get into shape, and find a second place to call home, Bion is the place to go. From the first day I walked in there was an overwhelming sense of community and a family atmosphere. Everyone is friendly and welcoming from the get-go!On top of that, they truly have an incredibly talented staff. They are knowledgeable and encouraging, and you can tell that this is a true passion for them. I’ve even had a coach who has been so supportive of me with personal issues and I’m truly grateful for her.I recommend giving Bion a try, you’ll wonder why you didn’t come in sooner!

Bion CrossFit is the best fitness experience I ever had. Corey (owner) has a talent for choosing great staff. Every single instructor is helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about each person. I never felt isolated during class. The instructors are there during every step to make sure the exercises are done right and safely. It is truly a sense of family there.

We LOVE Bion Crossfit! Whenever we visit Tucson from Phoenix, we love to drop by here. The coaches are legit, the gym is set is a beautiful location to view the mountains, the programming is great and the community are always friendly. Thank you Bion for being such a great place to workout!

One of the best decisions Ive made is joining Bion CrossFit. The facilities are fantastic, the coaches are amazing and are really invested in making sure you achieve your fitness goals. Before every class the coaches take the time demonstrate each exercise to ensure that you are executing the proper technique to minimize injuries. The class times are convenient and they have a daycare at the gym that is visible for our kids to watch. Overall the culture that they have created is outstanding!

I found CrossFit at a time when I needed to be really strong on the inside and on the outside. I had never picked up a bar bell, done a box jump, or wall ball. I mustered up the courage to step through the doors of the gym, and discovered a supportive community of athletes from all walks of life. Bion members are part of a network - a family. Each persons accomplishments are celebrated; often times, the person who finishes last receives the most enthusiastic round of applause. Every work out can be modified to match your skill set and proficiency level. The coaches are not only exceptionally skilled and motivational, they are intent on making sure you exercising safely. If you are looking for anonymity, this might not be the best fit because your fellow classmates will want to know your name so that they can support you. The positive energy is contagious and will carry through all aspects of your life. If you are looking to make a change in 2016 -- to challenge yourself -- to feel totally exhausted but amazing after a work out -- and to meet new people -- then, its time to join our community....step through the doors! You will not regret it.

Great gym. Kory and the coaches are all excellent instructors. I really like the balance to the programming - plenty of variations to keep things interesting day-to-day and week-to-week while also making sure you get enough repetition to get comfortable and see improvement with each movement. Very supportive atmosphere with friendly clientele. Highly recommended.

If you are looking to set health and fitness goals in 2016 then this is the gym where you will realize your fullest potential. The coaching and community are supportive and encouraging. The trainers will guide you through each workout to ensure that the movements are being completed in a safe and challenging manner. The staff is very professional and always willing to help each member improve.The community at this gym fantastic and supportive. I cant say enough about how positive the environment is here. If you are new to CrossFit or just new to the gym stop in to a class and see for yourself!

My favorite place to drop-in while visiting Tucson! The coaching staff is wonderful. They are extremely welcoming and helpful. I always appreciate their coaching input while Im there. Each person in the class always greets and introduces themselves right away. All the workouts are challenging and I always feel really good after I leave. If I still lived in town, this would be the gym Id be a member of. Id highly recommend it to anyone of any crossfit skill level.

Love this gym! Wonderful coaches who motivate and encourage proper form and technique, while maintaining a fun, upbeat atmosphere. Kory and his staff are very professional in their approach.This is an amazing community of people who all support one another. No stuffy, competitive, intimidating feelings here. Everyone is warm and welcoming. I have tried a couple other CrossFit gyms in town and this one by far has the best coaches, challenging WODs, and best people to be around. If you are new to CrossFit, or just looking for a change, I highly recommend Gila Personal Training and Bion CrossFit.

Bion CrossFit is a well-equipped and uniquely awesome gym, and Kory and his team of coaches promote and maintain a safe and very enjoyable environment for any athlete looking to improve their strength and mobility. I started working out with Kory after my first year of CrossFit, and by following his programming over the past two years I have seen gains in all of my Olympic lifts as well as most of my gymnastic movements.While I appreciate seeing and feeling the improvements in my own performances, I feel the environment at Gila Personal Training/Bion CrossFit deserves special mention. Kory and the other coaches have created a special facility anchored in positivity and community. The friendly, supportive and inclusive feel of the place is the reason I love working out here, and feeling that support and camaraderie during workouts makes it easier and more fun to give my best effort.

I joined this place in June 2015 and my only regret is that it wasnt before then! I remember walking out my first day thinking, oh my goodness, these Crossfitters are amazing and Ill never keep up. Happy to say here I am 6 months later totally keeping pace. Kory is an amazing coach who truly listens and helps you however he can. His team of trainers - Jason, Dianne, and Stevie - are totally on board with helping me create the best form (even telling me less weight to do so) and pushing me to do my best. The members are just as amazing and another big reason I go at 5:30 am...because they support like no other. I love my Bion and dont know what I would do without it!

I am addicted to Bion Crossfit! Kory and all the coaches take a personal interest in helping us reach our goals. The workouts are designed to push us just beyond our comfort zone. I feel supported and encouraged to be the best I can be. At Bion, we have a real community of like minded people of all ages and stages of fitness. I recommend this gym to anyone who is serious about getting in shape. If you want it, it will happen here. And try the rowing class, it is a full-body workout thats fun and different!

A rare CrossFit combination: challenging programming that leads to strength/speed improvement plus a friendly, encouraging coaching staff. Coaches are helpful and thrive on the members success and growth. Members and clients form a team, creating a motivating atmosphere for both the new and experienced crossfitters. The best gym in town, I highly recommend Bion CrossFit!

Kory welcomed me to his CrossFit family several years ago and it changed my life. I wasnt sure if I could commit to the discipline but a little success and encouragement changed that early on. Bion CrossFit is a professional, knowledgeable, fun and friendly place to get healthy and be happy.

I love the community, the coaching, and the commitment to the excellence of others! This is a great gym for all crossfitters including beginners, intermediate, and advanced. I feel safe and secure knowing that my coaches have a proper understanding of fitness and can relay that to all skill levels. If you are looking for a quality CrossFit box this is your new home!

The atmosphere at this Gym is so positive and uplifting! From the competitive athlete to someone who hasnt workout in thrity years to the support is the same. Nutrional support is also offered. I have gone from being obese (90+ lbs lost) to feeling like an athlete again. I am stronger and fitter then when i competed track in college! I have met the most amazing people at this gym and truly feel like we are a family. The Coaches are caring, intelligent, and creative; helping with modifications when needed. And I love the programing!!

Update: They have moved from Kolb and Sunrise to Sabino Canyon and Snyder.These guys are great! I love the atmosphere here, very relaxed and fun. Safe lifting is a priority, too. The coaches continually emphasize correct form to keep everyone safe. Ive seen a lot of improvement in my strength and endurance. The Kory knows what hes doing and clearly loves his job.5 out of 5, 10 out of 10, 100 out of 100 - would definitely recommend!

I have gone to Bion for over 2 years. The coaches are enthusiastic and care about the athletes. The gym is clean and they are always buying new equipment. The atmosphere is fun and encouraging. They stress form and safety over achieving PRs. They only downside is that it is popular and can become crowded during certain classes.

Bion is not only a beautiful gym with beautiful views, but the members and trainers make it the best crossfit gym I have ever been to. If you are interested in starting crossfit or changing gyms I highly recommend stopping by for a free Saturday class. You won’t be sorry.

I agree with all thats been said in previous reviews: This is a truly amazing place that has made an amazing impact on my body and life. Not only was I a complete newbie to the world of Crossfit and to working out in a gym environment altogether but I had just recovered from surgery in June when I started here. From the very first workout here, I found the environment incredibly positive and encouraging, with top-notch instruction and an emphasis on safety. There is a true sense of community here.After a just a few months now, I am stronger and fitter than I ever thought possible. I feel better, stand taller, have more endurance. I have been able to do things I never even dreamed I could accomplish (Rope climb? Dead lifts? You bet! And the list goes on!) with so much more to look forward to. I cannot thank Coach Dianne (who is quite simply the best) and the owner Kory enough!

Ive been crossfitting a few years now and have been a member of 4 gyms in that time. I can finally say I have found my second home. The gym owner and staff thrive of our success, I think our PRs make them happier than their own. You wont find a better group in town or one more dedicated. The gym just keeps getting better, growing and adapting with its clients.

If you want to achieve your personal best, whether its endurance sports, looking great, or improving your athletic capability, then look no further than Bion Crossfit. This is a supportive community of fellow Crossfitters who welcome everyone and the trainers take a personal interest in helping you achieve your goals everyday.

Started training at Bion Crossfit in February 2015. Since then, I have continued to become more involved with the Bion community.

The environment at Bion Crossfit is incredible. The coaches are very knowledgable, supportive and genuinely interested in the success of each of their athletes. The positive energy from the remarkable community at this gym makes even the most daunting workouts seem completely possible. Safety and form are always strongly emphasized and enforced by the coaches. Everyday at Bion is filled with laughter, hard work and accomplishment. I would recommend Bion Crossift to anyone looking to increase their fitness in a safe, supportive and down right fun setting.

This is a gym that has made a huge difference in how I look at exercise and fitness. Not just for me, but for the entire family. I was content with my fitness: walking on my treadmill and going to gym to lift some weights, fulfilling my 5-6 hours a week exercise routine to keep myself healthy. Being a cancer surgeon, I know how important exercise is to cancer risk reduction. I was content to keep what fitness level I had, telling myself that I was too old for cross fit when my daughter first joined. I went to workout with her to support her. After the first month, I began to see what crossfit really means at Bion and why being in this community is so rewarding. Kory Faber is the owner and principle trainer at this gym. He sets the tone, being methodical, goal oriented, safe, genuine and effective. All the trainers there follow the same. Kory has created a safe but inspirational environment that brings out the best in all of us. I went from I hate lifting and I cant do attitude to I cannot wait to see what I can do next. Kory has also created a community in which all the members care and encourage each other, bringing out the best effort in all. My husband was completely against crossfit in the beginning, having the same prejudice I hear from people who do not know what crossfit is; he had thought it would be dangerous. After trying it out, he proclaimed that Kory is the best trainer he has ever had in 15 years of working out with trainers.Bion Cross Fit has not only improve our strength, agility, body fat, flexibility, mobility, stress management and joint pains, it has changed our outlook on what the future holds in our aging (or shall I say, anti-aging) process. It has also empowered my daughter in her quest for optimal performance. We, as a whole family, love Bion Cross Fit and Gila Personal Training. We look forward to future discoveries in what we can learn and accomplish in the years to come.

Before I started working out at Bion Crossfit, I never thought I would be able to do crossfit. The moves looked so intimidating and difficult but all the coaches and clients are extremely helpful and inspirational-making you feel like you can do anything.

Bion Crossfit is an exceptionally wonderful place where you can challenge yourself and not feel judged. Its a wonderful community with all walks of life that truly want one another to succeed and meet their goals weather its in the box/gym or out. The coaches are skilled, knowledgable and WILL have you reach your goals! Scaled or not, youll NEVER get bored. Youll feel accomplished and see RESULTS! Its such a fun environment that I look forward to each class that I attend. (Which I have NEVER ever done with other gyms/classes... Ever). The results Ive seen on myself from crossfit mentally and physically are priceless. Thank you to all the coaches at Bion Crossfit, you guys are AMAZING!!!!

Review №43

Bion CrossFit is truly a one-of-a-kind place to grow in your personal fitness and as a part of a community. The coaches truly care about every member. I have been a part of this community for 1 1/2 years and I started with ZERO crossfit experience. When I started I just wanted to change the way my body looked, then I started training with these coaches and realized that it could be FUN to workout and train with a purpose. As a result of all the support and attention I have received at this gym I have even competed in a couple competitions which I never set out to do. If you are thinking about starting crossfit it MATTERS which community you choose to join. BION Crossfit is the best, most well-rounded gym with incredible members, coaches, programming and opportunities to grow and accomplish any goal you set and even some you didnt even know to set!

Review №47

I have dropped in at many CrossFit boxes around the globe and Bion CrossFit is defenitively at the top of the list.Kory, Jes, Stevie and Jason do really a good job coaching and having a supportive atmosphere to workout and complete defying WODs. They scale the movements and weights according to ones abilities and performance but on the other hand they push you though your limits and encourage you to break PRs and work the hardest.The facilities and equipment is top notch as well. From weightlifting platforms to Olympic Rings and climb ropes are available. Plenty of rowers and racks to accommodate large classes.Since I started dropping in at Bion CrossFit I felt wamely welcomed and like I was WODing at my home Box. The owners, coaches and everyone there are super friendly, help you to feel comfortable and support you during the toughest parts of reps.If you live in Tucson or are just visiting I strongly recommend you to stop by and meet these great people.

Review №48

Where do I start....I have trained at many gyms around the Tucson area and in different states around the country; Bion Crossfit has one of the most top-notch programming I have come across and that is why I have continually gone there for over a year now. I have vastly improved in the Crossfit 10 General Physical Skills, specifically Strength, Flexibility and Stamina.The community at Bion Crossfit is also second to none. This includes the owners, coaching staff, and members. Having worked at privately owned businesses before, I admire a business where the owner is present, this shows theyre passionate about what they do and are invested in their clients - and let me tell you, the owner/coach Kory is always at the gym. The coaches at Bion are friendly, knowledgeable and capable - they are approachable when I have questions, know the movements for safe and proper form and can also be seen grinding through the daily workouts themselves when theyre not coaching. My fellow crossfitters at Bion can be considered some of my best friends and family. We hang out for BBQs outside of the gym, support each other when going to crossfit competitions, and are there each day to cheer each other on during the 6pm class.There is so much more great things to say about Bion Crossfit, but for now I will end by saying I look forward to the 2016 year at Bion, more PRs (personal records), more fitness and most important more fun.
