I have been with Spark for about three years. It has been a pleasure and I have met some really awesome people over the years. Will is always improving the gym with new equipment and expansion. If you ever wanted to try it they have a great beginner program that will help you transition. Don't hesitate because you will meet some great new friends and people who are trying to better themselves all around.

This place is wonderful. I joined the 6 week challenge lost 20 lbs and 6.2% body fat. This was all done with a meal plan that was provided to me along with the encouragement from coaches and other members as well. I have participated in several different crossfit gyms over the years and Spark does not dissapoint. Not only do the owners Will and Erin along with the coaches take a personal interest in your progress but the other members are supportive and encouraging as well. I am so lucky to have found a place that is convenient for me as it is close to work and home leaving me without any excuses for not getting in and improving my overall fitness. A big thank you to all of the coaches and fellow members that continually push me to be better every day.

I have had the most amazing experience with this gym, I was inspired by one of my friends to do the CrossFit challenge and decided to join Spark. Not only are the owners Erin and Will so extremely attentive and caring, but all of the other …

I first stepped into this gym with zero CrossFit experience back in November of 2015. I needed something new, challenging and rewarding. I quickly found it at this box. I've learned more about fitness, become in tune with my body and more dialed in on my eating habits over the past 2 1/2 years than ever before. I am still an active member today. The box is super spacious, it seems the equipment is always being updated and is well taken care of. Plenty of equipment for mobility too! The morning coaches (Ryan, Abby, Brandon, and Tyler) genuinely care about personal progress and form during each workout. They will point out your weaknesses and help you improve them. If you can't do a certain movement they will provide scaling options. The owners (Erin and Will) are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. The members are welcoming and can quickly become some of your best friends and fit family. Spark continues to push me to be a better version of myself on a weekly basis!

The coaches and owners are all amazing people. I was uncomfortable going into the gym at first since I was overweight and not nearly as talented as most of the people working out, but I quickly discovered that everyone is super nice and helpful. The coaches really care and work with you to keep improving on your form. This gym is like family and I can't think of a better place to spend my free time. No matter what level of fitness you're at, there's a place for you at Spark.

I was in town for thanksgiving and dropped in this gym for three days straight. The staff was awesome (thanks again Justin & Brooke!), the facilities were amazing, and the community was welcoming and friendly. I met the owners too and they …

I've only been a member of Crossfit Blackstorm for three months, but I'm totally in love. The location is convenient and the gym itself is in great condition. The owners are friendly, respectful, and genuinely nice people. More importantly, they're educated. I completely trust and respect the owners and ALL the other coaches. They're all great at explaining and showing complex moves. In other words, the coaches know their stuff.I highly recommend!

Better than any other Crossfit gym that I have ever been to. From the moment I walked in the door, I felt like a member of the Black Storm community (and its the reason I left my old gym a week after my first visit). I would imagine you can get a great workout in any number of boxes in the Valley, but this one comes with community. Will and Erin are tireless in their efforts to improve the quality of the gym, continually reinvesting to give us better equipment and a better experience.Oh, and if you want results, they will give you those too. Within my first 6 months at Black Storm, I added 70 lbs to my back squat, 35 lbs to my shoulder press and 90 lbs to my deadlift. I am getting stronger faster and I owe it to the coaches and the community that push me to better myself everyday. Do yourself a favor and come see what you are missing.

After doing CrossFit for about a year I needed a change, I looked a couple of other places but found the environment at Crossfit Black Storm...awesome; I joined and haven't looked back. It's been the best decision!! The coaches, equipment, and overall atmosphere is fantastic!! It's great to be at a place where the owners invest back in the gym!Each day that I walk into Black Storm, I know that I'm going to be pushed to do my best, even if that means you're the slowest. I've had so many gains in the 6 months since I've been here. I'd recommend this it to anyone, it's a great place!

I found Crossfit Black Storm back in January.They had a great New Years deal going that I could not pass up! Right away I fell in love with the gym. The owners were friendly, driven, and very well trained. The athletes around me were also very friendly and open to the "new person." I love the competitiveness of the gym as well. Always looking to better their athletes in all areas of physical fitness, health and wellness. The gym times are great, location great, equipment great. All around an amazing gym.
