I had been going to LA Fitness for a couple years. I also coach high school sports and run some of the training, so I thought I had a good grasp on fitness. The problem was that at LA Fitness I was temped to do only the things I wanted to do... basketball, elliptical machine, and a few other things that I felt good about, but honestly I had almost no results. \n\nMy friend suggested North Scottsdale Crossfit. The diversity of the exercises and how quick the workouts were really appealed to me. \n\nKevin, the instructor, introduced me to the correct form and encourages intensity but  nothing crazy. After you get going there is a fun environment of encouragement and competition, mainly with yourself to beat your previous marks. \n\nFor those who already know about Crossfit, you will find an authentic Crossfit experience, not a cardio-class that occasionally incorporates the Crossfit approach.  \n\nI highly recommend North Scottsdale Crossift.
