This place helped me throughout my journey in becoming a stronger person. They have given me tools I still use today to keep off my diabetes medication. I never thought I could run and lift weights like that! I now have the motivation to work out and like it. They are so amazing !! Sam is the best!! I would and do recommend to everyone I know!!

Sam is great and the members here are friendly.I never worked out in a CrossFit setting/gym. I’m two weeks into it and I love it. The workouts are tough and leave you feeling exhausted but an hour later I feel stronger and more energized. Members are super helpful with tips and pointers.

Excellent gym with a positive atmosphere and a knowledgeable coach!

This place is a total scam. They advertise all over that this is free and that is free. But to even start they require a $500 deposit. If you even try to get it back they will say you didnt meet this qualification and that qualification. Stay away from this place. They will scam you and kick.you to the curb.

Friendly environment, Challenging workouts and amazing coaches. A awesome experience

I have been working out here for the past few months and I really enjoy it. The workouts are challenging and fun. The people that attend are awesome and it makes it really enjoyable to work out with a group of people who are so supportive. I highly recommend!

Sam is great and the people you workout with are very supportive! The classes provide a great workout and Sam helps to assure you push yourself at your own personal level of fitness.

I love the vibe and people. Sam and the other coaches are great. Come ready for a good workout.

Love this place since day 1 . Awesome people and trainer . The workouts are not easy but they totally worth it .

I’m writing this review too tell the real/true side of CrossFit Marana and Sam from my own opinion. I originally signed up for the 6 week challenge with Sam in October. When I met Sam for the consultation he was very thorough in his explanation of how the program works and the requirements to meet the 6 week money back offer.After the first 3 workouts I got very sick—-not from the gym. Due to doctors restrictions I have not been able to workout. I spoke to Sam about what was going on, Sam told me that my health is the #1 goal in this matter and because of medical reasons he is willing to work with me through the 6week challenge.After reading these reviews of people saying this is a scam, this guy just steals your money etc.... Sam isn’t stealing anything or scamming you out of anything. It says in black and white what is required to get your money back, if you choose not to do those things then don’t complain about it. When I put the $500 dollars down I made dang good and sure what the requirements were and asked a bunch of questions. Sam patiently answered all of those questions and made me feel very comfortable. Sam is well known in the community as being a great guy and when it comes to coaching and nutrition one of the best I’ve seen. Sam went above and beyond taking the time To check on me when I was down and out, he didn’t have to do that. It says a lot about his character inside and outside of the gym. If you are looking for a killer workout from someone that is knowledgeable and cares, this is the gym. I highly recommend it to anyone of all fitness levels. Keep Grinding Sam, you are one heck of a straight up guy and run a great business.

Reading through all these posts and I feel I have to say something. I too have tried different gyms and saw zero results ... but we have to hold ourselves accountable. These guys are not magicians nor do they prescribe a magic pill. We have to put in effort and not just in a 6 week challenge. This is a life long COMMITMENT. I myself am included in this ... so before we start complaining about how these guys don’t push you enough I have to disagree. Not only do they take the time to know you on a first name basis, they make sure to explain proper form and technique everyday. Even if I think I have it down they still walk us through form daily. This place has been my mental clarity from life and daily stress. Everyone is super friendly including the staff. I’ve been to other CrossFit gyms and all offer a different teaching technique and style. ... but let’s be honest ... this is a life long commitment, this is a business and they are holding you accountable for showing up and stepping up. Thanks Sam and Clay for always pushing us to do better!

Thats when Steven contacted KGUN9 On Your Side. We called and spoke to a man named Sam who confirmed he was the manager of Crossfit Marana. He was familiar with the situation he said there was a mix up and that Stevan did not complete the program. Sam also promised to send KGUN9 a statement. But after multiple phone calls emails and messages sent, we got nothing.Owner responds to accusations with emojis. See photo.

This place has changed me for life! Started with a 6 week challenge but knew that I had to continue. Sam and the rest of the team are amazing! They help you push beyond what you thought possible! If you havent tried CrossFit as a way to change your life for the better? Give this place a try!

Did the 6 week challenge and was an amazing experience! Trainers and members are all great people that push you to be better every day. I recommend this gym to anyone, whether it is to loose weight or get stronger, they will help you reach your goal. I lost 25.2 lbs in 6 weeks. Special thanks to Clay for all the support and being an excellent trainer. Thank you CrossFit Marana!

I’ve lost 25 pounds with this gym! It’s an amazing atmosphere with classmates pushing you harder you think you can. Coach Sam was a great trainer and helped me better my form and complete all my workouts. I would 100% recommend this gym to anyone who wants to get fit, gain strength, loose fat, and achieve great form!

Did the six week challenge and it was fun, challenging, motivating, and inspiring.

I absolutely love this gym!!!!

I accepted the 6 week challenge at CrossFit Marana on May 27th. I just finished it successfully! Sam gave me diet plan and said the protein powder I was using was fine. Never once pressured me to buy anything from them. The staff leading the classes are amazing! Most of the classes I went to were led by Clay. He pushes you and encourages you. Thanks so much Clay! I did it! I lost 17 pounds and 8.1% body fat. I feel leaner, stronger and Im noticing positive changes in myself. I am more confident and feel healthier. Other people taking the classes were encouraging as well. This was such a good decision for me. So worth it.

Great people and a good community!

My wife and I joined this gym as part of a challenge and absolutely love it. The workouts are challenging but attainable, and the members are great.

I signed up for the 6 week challenge where I had to burn 6% of body fat. I started with 27.2% of body fat and I ended up with 20.5% of body fat. This was a new experience for me and my first time at CrossFit. Even though it was a little complicated at the beginning because it was hard for me to do the workouts, but the trainers were very helpful on explaining everything. All the classes are different and I think thats the fun part because everyday we get to do different workouts. They also give you a nutrition plan that helps you to reach your goal. It is a great environment and everyone is so friendly. I highly recommend CrossFit Marana.

One of the best CrossFit gyms!!!! I was part of their 6 week challenge I was able to drop 26 lbs in the 6 weeks. The trainers are very helpful and they are awesome people. Great environment. I highly recommend this gym. Come ready to have fun and lose pounds.

Great Gym! Sam made me work hard, no excuses, and I lost 28 pounds in 6 weeks! I have multiple injuries and Sam helped me work around these issues and regain my strength. Definitely recommend!

I recently completed the 6 week challenge at CrossFit Marana. My goal was to lose 25lbs, and I lost 30lbs!I would enthusiastically recommend CrossFit Marana, especially for anyone who is intimidated by “CrossFit”. The trainers are all great. Super knowledgeable and helpful with clear instruction. There is encouragement to get a great workout every time, without the pressure to go above your ability. There are modifications for every exercise, so every level is catered too. It is a fun, friendly culture among the other gym members also.It was my first experience of CrossFit, and I can’t say enough positive things about it.

I started my 6 week challenge with the hope to get back my motivation. After having 2 kids I lost myself and taking care of myself as the priority. Sam graciously accepted me as a new client in the challenge and I started the same week. Clay was my trainer throughout the entire challenge and he was just so awesome. The facility had all the necessary equipment and every day there was a new challenge. What I liked most was that it was such a good environment. everyone was so friendly and pushed each other. Everyone there was at different fitness levels and regardless of our individual strengths we all were able to accomplish the workout with it without modifications. I was able to lose 26.8 lbs during this challenge and I feel like I have a new start to the rest of my fitness Journey! I highly recommend Crossfit Marana!

The staff and clients of this gym are amazing. I was new to CrossFit and felt welcomed and supported. I Signed up with their 6 week challenge and every one there was supportive of my goal and helped me make it I lost 25 lbs and feel great well worth the hard work I put in . Their classes are at all hours of the day so it was easy for me to find time to go work out with a busy 7 day a week work schedule I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to improve their fitness level. They now have a new member and and a fan of this business.

I came into CrossFit Marana feeling defeated. I had tried adjusting and changing many things and even worked out regularly, but still wasn’t seeing change. I did the 6 week challenge at CF Marana and I dropped over 6% body fat and 12 lbs! Best decision ever and everyone at CF Marana feels like family and they have a great atmosphere!

I did a 6 week challenge to lose 6% fat. I was provided a nutrition plan and access to workouts 3 times a week. It was a great experience. I leaned up quick and got in great shape. I was surprised to see that the taylored workouts kept me consistently sore and progressing. The nutrition plan melted away the fat. The trainers are great and take the time teach the workouts and any adjustments you might need. It’s not the meat market like LA fitness. Folks here are serious about fitness. The owner Sam is great and reasonable. I wish I had taken a before photo, but I have a 6 pack that I haven’t had since high school.

Just completed the CrossFit 6 week challenge & proud to say Ive dropped 6.8% Body Fat, the requirement was 6%. Thanks Sam for the opportunity to participate & for creating a great atmosphere filled with encouragement, inspiration & motivation to workout! This is definitely a great gym and community to be apart of!

This gym is great. I did the 6 week challenge and I lost 28 pounds. The staff is great and you workout at your pace with no pressure. I just followed Sams plan and I lost the weight and feel great.

Crossfit Marana is a great facility. From Sam who ensures you have the right meal planning and workout plan to Clay who pushes you out of your comfort zone. All the WODs are aimed at getting a great workout. The members there are very encouraging and supportive. Great environment and box to be a part of.

This place is a shame and so is the owner! I felt like he scammed me with his promise of loosing weight in a specific amount of time. I could not have not done without putting my health at risk.

( SHOULD BE NEGATIVE 5 STARS) SCAM SCAM SCAM - USES WEIGHT SCALES THAT ARE NOT CORRECT - HE CUZZES WHEN TALKING ALOT SOMETIMES ( WHY THE F&*# WERE YOU? )( HE IS A MASTER PERSUADER SO BE CAREFUL) - THE TRAINERS ARE GOOD PEOPLE( THAT ONE GUY JUST CAN BE NOT VERY GOOD)- BUT YOU HAVE READ THE STORIES SO BEWARE!!!!!!!!!

My fiance and I both took the challenge. While I missed my goal she crushed it. We never got her $500 back after 6 months of reaching out. The gym is good and the instructors are great. I cant overlook the fact that it feels like we got taken advantage of here. Such a shame........after the response: i had talked to Sam who had acknowledged that is not the case, that we did do all the required checkins, and to expect more information that never came. I reiterate. Dissapointed. 1 star.

If CrossFit is for you, find a different one. There are lots of great ones in the area but this isnt one of them. The 6 Week Challenge is a ridiculous scam and I fell for it. He took my $499 but I will not be stepping foot in that gym. To get your money back you HAVE to 1) lose 25 lbs in 6 weeks, 23 lbs doesnt count 2) LEAVE A REVIEW here that is pre-approved which is why these are all so glowing 3) Check in on FB 3 times a week. Just by walking in the door for the Consultation he counts as services received . I went home to think about it and realized it wasnt for me - let him know within the hour and Sams answer was Sorry, see the paper you initialed. Ive already given you a nutritional consultation. He also will tell you that your supplements and protein are garbage and insist you use the ones he has...which he is a consultant for and sells through a network marketing company. The whole things is actually pretty funny. Just dont.

Just called to get some prices. I asked who I was speaking with, and the guy wouldnt even tell me his name. He asked who I was, I told him, I inquired again who I was speaking with, and then he hung up on me and blocked my number! Extremely unprofessional. If this is the kind of attitude and service they give potential clients, I cant even imagine how they treat their current customers.

So, I lost a little over 12 lbs during this lifestyle change. During my time at Crossfit I lost 9lbs. I measured in at 31.1%, measuring out at 25.0% during the six week challenge. I did it, I beat my goal by 1 point. It didnt take long to see or feel results!This experience has shown me so much about myself and the way I still think and talk to myself has such an impact on my daily living. I not only learned to kick A*, make healthier eating habits but Ive learned that I need to be much more kind to myself and take things slower. With this in mind I also found that with dedication and the enjoyment of an atmosphere of good people, nothing can stop me. Yes, the monetary refund was a huge part of winning the challenge but the buy-in for me is 90% atmosphere and encouragement of the trainers and members. They made it worth every moment. I would HIGHLY recommend CrossFit Marana to anyone! Thank you both, Sam and Clay for all you do!!

The location, the community, and the coaches make Crossfit Marana an awesome place to workout! My favorite thing about CF Marana is the fact that the coaches are very thorough. They really take the time to ensure you’re practicing proper form and using the appropriate weight before jumping into the WOD (Workout of the Day).

Everyone was so nice and supportive on my weight loss and crossfit journey.

Great energetic staff with the knowledge to get you in shape. 6 Weeks 20Lbs & 6.3% Body fat Down! So stoked on my transformation!

I just moved to Marana from the Bay Area in April and I needed something to do for my health and my sanity as I acclimated to my new life. I saw on FB a 6 week challenge at Marana Crossfit. I met with Sam who gave me all the info and I decided, what the heck, let’s do it!! I had never done any CrossFit so I was definitely nervous. On my first day I quickly realized there was nothing to be nervous about, the coaches are amazing and everyone working out with me has been so friendly and supportive. Crossfit Marana is where you go to get a killer workout surrounded by amazing staff and a community of amazing people. Highly, highly recommend anyone wanting to join a gym to give Sam a holler at Marana Crossfit!!!-Kayla

Completely recommend STAYING AWAY from this gym, Especially if you are considering any of their challenges they are all scams. Especially the owner sam, he will not help in any way shape or form into getting to your goals. Go any where but here.

I decided to join CrossFit Marana after suffering a back injury and having to sit out of any physical activity for more than 6 months. I was out of shape and lacking any motivation. I saw the 6 week challenge and decided to jump in... It was the best decision Ive ever made.Sam, the owner, is welcoming and so helpful. He really sets you up for success (if youre willing to put the work in). Clay is an incredible coach and really knows his stuff! I was so happy that despite my injury, they were able to help me learn the moves and adjust them as needed. This is the PERFECT gym for someone new to crossfit... you learn the basics and there are modifications for everyones abilities. (Its great for experienced crossfitters too!)I truly loved working out here. Clay and Sam learn to know everyone by their first names and they welcome everyone that comes into the gym. It really makes you feel like part of a community!The 6 week challenge is definitely a challenge, but it gave me the kickstart I needed to get my fitness back on track. I was successful with it, but know that it was no walk in the park. Youve gotta be focused and willing to work hard, every single day.Thanks Sam and Clay! You guys are awesome and I will definitely be referring folks to this gym! (If only I lived a bit closer, I would continue to use you as my gym too!)

Crossfit Marana is going to be amazing! Sam the man has inspired me over the years and is an amazing trainer that will help all reach their goals!!

This place is a joke, compared to other crossfit gyms they are trying too hard with too little expertise. Pushing people to work harder intensity and higher weight without perfecting form which is essential for crossfit. Hope you never disagree with the owner on anything because youll be ridiculed and never see your money again.as for their free challenge...They force you to give them free advertising through posts and perfect reviews(hence why they have so many amazing reviews). If you mess up even one Facebook check in, they dont see it, or your review at the end isnt reviewed by them and approved then you dont get your money back, end of story. If you just take a minute to look at the reviews on here, the negative ones are saying the same thing and the owner replies to them mockingly, unprofessionally, and like a spoiled child. If you read through the glowing 5 star reviews youll start to see how scripted most sound. Several start with almost the exact same words. I started the 6 week challenge to lose 25lbs I did the 6 week challenge to lose 6% fat

Great atomopher with billiant workouts including cardio and strengthing, perfessional trainers that stress proper form, great gym to be a part of.

Fun classes, knowledgeable staff, will continue to come back when I’m in town!

I’m really excited for this place. Best CrossFit coach I’ve ever seen.

Great place to train! Fun, friendly environment with a knowledgeable hard working staff.

#ITSALLABOUTTHEPOSTS Its not about losing weight or getting fit... its all about Crossfit Marana getting free Facebook posts and Google Reviews so that the people that get scammed like me dont get their money back. I thought I had successfully completed the challenge. I lost 26 lbs, made the checkin posts and added a Goggle Review after the challenge. I waited almost 2 months to learn that they would not refund the $500 deposit for the FREE Challenge... because they could not see 3 Facebook posts. I knew I made them, I made all the workouts and weighins... and lost 26 lbs... but no refund for me. It was always about the Facebook posts and free advertising.

I wish I could explain how incredibly excited I am to be a part of this NEW, state of the art, ego free gym!!!!! They have really outdone themselves with this one. If your goal is fitness, dont waste your time and get here NOW!!!! You will absolutely thank yourself!!!! THANK YOU CROSSFIT MARANA!!!!!! AAAAAAA++++++++++++++

Cant wait for it to open. Sam is a great coach.

GREAT LOCATION AND FACILITY! AWESOME STAFF AND AMAZING PROGRAMS! WANT RESULTS? TRAIN CROSSFIT MARANA!!!!
