CrossFit Array

Amateur hour … that’s the best way to describe Crossfit Array. Glendale has way better options for crossfit, so don’t waste your time and money here.
My experience with the gym and its three owners, Vaz, Tadeh and Masis was extremely disappointing and unprofessional. I should have realized the first big red flag when one of the owners told me that he has a day job and runs the gym as a hobby. But I was excited to find a gym in the neighborhood, so I overlooked it and signed up for a month to month membership at $ 195 a month (definitely not cheap!). Unfortunately, the type of customer service I ended up receiving was exactly what you would expect from someone who considers their business a hobby.
When I signed up, Tadeh told me that one of the coaches is a nutritionist and would call me to schedule a nutrition session to help me achieve my goals. That never happened. I then started attending the 9am bootcamp classes only to realize that apparently no one attends these classes. After a couple of times of doing whatever workouts by myself in a very low energy and motivation environment, I dreaded going to the gym. It was not the crossfit/​bootcamp experience that I was used to or expecting. I’ve done crossfit before and so much of the motivation to attend and push yourself comes from the energy of the coach, the other students and the camaraderie you build with them. Instead, I was left feeling guilty for showing up. Unfortunately, the gym only has two bootcamp classes a day and the evening classes don’t work with my schedule (I’m a grad student and take classes at night).
Less than a month into my membership, I decided that the Crossfit Array wasn’t for me and I called to cancel my membership. Vaz responded to me and told me to send an email saying I wanted to cancel my membership. I sent the email and was then told that they have a 30 day cancellation policy and that I would be charged for another month at $ 195 before I could officially quit. I emailed Vaz and explained to him why I wanted to leave the gym and given the circumstances, I thought it was unfair to charge me for an extra month. After all, I wasn’t asking for a refund, just asking to not be charged for an additional month of membership when I was clearly unhappy with the experience. Not to mention that a 30 day cancellation policy doesn’t serve any real business purpose other than to squeeze people for an extra month of membership before they’re given the privilege of quitting. Vaz never responded to my email and instead I saw that the next day my credit card had been charged the $ 195. I then decided to go down to the gym and speak with the owner I had initially signed up with. Tadeh told me that if it were up to him, he would give me a refund, but would need to check with the two other owners. He told me that Masis was the owner that handled membership and I should expect a call from him. I did receive a call from Masis and explained the situation to him. His response was that he would check with the other owners and get back to me. A few days later, I received a call from Masis saying that I had signed a contract with a 30 day cancellation policy and that it would be unfair to «break the rules» for me. But as a consolation prize, they would give me 30 days of membership. I was confused and told him that I already had 30 additional days of membership — that’s what the $ 195 charge was for! He then proceeded to tell me that I was wrong and the $ 195 charge was a cancellation fee. I said that I would review the contract. Then a few minutes later, I received another call and he told me that after speaking with Tadeh, he realized that I was indeed right and the $ 195 they charged was for an additional 30 days of membership. I found it funny that they kept saying that I should have read the contract carefully about the 30 day cancellation policy, yet the owner who handles membership doesn’t even know what’s in his own contract! I guess now I know why membership is so low. I then yet again explained to Masis my reasons for wanting a refund and yet again, he said that he would need to check with the other owners before making a decision and would call me back. I gave him a week, and no call. I then called him and left a vm, and have gotten no response. I’m tired of watching them pass the buck to each other. Three owners and none of them are apparently capable of handling a pretty simple situation. Fine, if you guys want my $ 195 so badly, you can have it. You must need it more than I do.

I’m new to the area and have been going to CrossFit Array for about two months. While CrossFit array offers group classes, I’m more of a private training person and I’ve only had private training (which this review is about). My personal trainer there is Fred Engelfried and he is excellent.
It’s rare to find a trainer who provides a truly holistic approach that optimizes movement and health of the entire body. He’s impressed me with his knowledge about both the art and science of movement and his ability to personalize a workout regimen that is tailored specifically to me.
I passed by the unassuming CrossFit Array many times while driving through Kenneth Village and I’m happy I finally stopped in and signed up for a free personal training session. I’m happy I did as I feel younger, have a lot more stamina throughout the week and am sleeping better than I have in a long time.
If you’re looking for the best, Fred is it.

Nice crowd and clean gym. Plenty parking spots. They’ll work with you till you achieve your goals. 5 stars all the way.

The best bootcamp ever!!! They made the work out fun but pushed us hard and the trainers were all great!!! Can’t wait to start another session

Great gym! All the trainers are great at motivating you to do better. Love this place. I never felt so welcomed anywhere else.

I love CrossFit Array! Never tried it before, but the trainers are super friendly and so are the people. You feel very welcomed and always have an amazing workout. I was really out of shape when I first started, but the trainers give individualized workouts and attention to each person to better achieve each person’s work-​out goals. The workouts also keep changing so there’s never a dull moment. I’ve gotten great results. Thank you CrossFit Array!

I’ve been coming here for over a year. Awesome place. I had never tried crossfit, but from my first class I was hooked. The coaches push you to your limits and challenge you to go beyond you have ever been. Once you come here, you won’t go anywhere else. Array helps you be the best you can be.

I must say I was hesitant to try crossfit. I was intimidated with things like handstand pushups and box jumps. However, the coaches are very friendly and welcoming. They scale the workouts to your level of athleticism or if your limited to certain things. Each move is taught step by step in every single session. So, through repetition, overtime your knowledge and skill increase much more than you would at first anticipate. This is a non-​intimidating environment and they even have a registered dietician on staff. If you want to get healthy, have fun, be challenged, learn new things, become friends with a really cool group of people and finally see results then crossfit Array in Glendale is it. (especially if you’re sick of going to a regular gym)

Been with this gym for 3 months and I’m Happy with the work outs. Coaches are cool and the classes end on time. Which is great.

I wanted to try CrossFit for quiet sometimes but hearing my friend’s stories, I was intimidated to try it out. After talking to few people and asking around, I decided to check this place out. I was not in any shape to be able to do any of the exercises. I pretty much had no upper body strength. The first few classes were scary and I thought that I would never be able to do what the rest were doing. Once I made it through few classes, I got hooked. The coaches were pretty amazing and they made me feel welcome and comfortable. They seemed passionate and they knew what they were talking about. They were modifying most of the workouts so I was able to get started. They focused a lot on my form, which I appreciated. I really did not want to injure myself. I have only been going there for a few months and I have already seen a tremendous change in my body, my posture and what I am capable of doing. The workouts are challenging and I always walk out feeling that I got a really good workout. The members at this location are also super friendly and they all try to help each other out. They really motivate and encourage you to do better.

What an awesome group of people! I dropped in this week because I’m in town for work, and the coaches and members were all SO welcoming. I can’t wait to come back the next time I’m in town!

I’ve been a Crossfit Array member for two years now. I go to their location in Montrose. I visited the Kenneth Village location when my brother visited from Pennsylvania a few months ago. He’s not a crossfitter but a competitive weightlifter. He wanted to train while on vacation so I took him and my cousin to Crossfit Array Kenneth Village in hopes that they could accommodate my brother’s weightlifting training. It was our first time there and our experience was amazing. Tadeh, the owner, was extremely accommodating! There was a class at that time and he was kind enough to let my brother practice his snatches, cleans, clean and jerks, etc off to the side. My brother was being quite loud and I was afraid that he’d be asked to quiet down. But Tadeh was extremely nice and accommodating! Tadeh even made his and my cousin’s visits complimentary :). While my brother was training, my cousin and I did the WOD.
In terms of the facility, it’s very clean and the equipment is top notch. My brother was super impressed with their high level bumper plates and equipment. He couldn’t say enough nice things about CFA and how fantastic the owner is!
I can’t either, since I’ve been a member for a while now :).

I started crossfit at the start of 2014, and I was instantly hooked. I would go to the gym here and there, but I would always get bored. The coaches here are awesome, and they’re so passionate about coaching and fitness. I tried other cross fit boxes, but Crossfit Array is the one I stuck with, and I am really glad I did. The box is clean, and everyone is there to support each other, and push each other to reach their fitness goals.
Their prices are much better compared to other boxes, and the classes are small sized, which allows the coaches to give everybody attention.
I have seen so many improvements in myself, and their first class is free :) so come by and see what it’s all about!

Having worked for lululemon for 5 years — I’ve been to A LOT of CrossFit gyms. This place conveniently opened in my neighborhood — and I was instantly hooked. It’s a great space — clean, open, and in a gorgeous neighborhood. And most importantly, the coaches are AMAZING. Vaz and Tad are so passionate about coaching, teaching, and helping their students achieve their goals — they take the time to visit before and after class, know their students by name — and help tailor the workouts to fit everyone’s fitness level. The supporting coaches are just as rad — with Nikki and Derenk — both with great energy and enthusiasm. I want to be certified just so I can teach here — I love these guys. Not all CrossFits are created equal — this is definitely one of kind — and a great place to start your love affair with CF :)

This place is amazing. So clean and welcoming.
I’ve been CrossFitting for 2 years now and my experience gets better and better with Array. The instructors know what their doing and gives us intense workouts that makes me feel like a million bucks afterwards.
You might be thinking «sounds scary». Don’t knock it till you’ve tried it! Great news! first session’s free.

I Love this place! I actually look forward to working out on a daily. First off this box is extremely clean which is important to me. The coaches are grade A! They know their stuff and are always making sure our form is on point.
The atmosphere is fun, and I consider the people there friends not just someone I’m sweating next too. Everyone is super supportive and encouraging of each other. We laugh, chat, grunt and of course work up a good sweat!
Check it out, you won’t regret it

I’ve been coming to Crossfit Array for over a year now and if you’ve read my post from the Montrose location, you’ll see why. I hated gyms, I hated working out, I was lazy. After coming to Array not only have I been inspired and motivated by the instructors, but mainly by the amazing people there. Crossfit gyms can be so intimidating and overwhelming. Yes, people take it seriously, but they don’t force you to be an Olympic athlete and allow you to do what is comfortable for you. Yes, I want to be stronger, but I don’t want to be ultra-​buff, and thankfully, I am not only pushed to challenged myself but I’m not belittled because I can’t lift and don’t want to lift 225lbs.
Crossfit isn’t just about being stronger, it’s about being the best you, no matter how hard you want to go. Everyone is not only helpful, but encouraging so you’re gaining a better body, better health, education, and a new family.
I could not be happier here.
Mind you, I’ve gone to two other Crossfit gyms and drive FORTY MINUTES just to be here. Thank you Crossfit Array!

I have been coming to this gym a little over a month now & I can confidently say this place has already changed my life for the better! I have lost weight, gained muscle and I feel much better in general! I am more energized throughout the day! I am literally using muscles I never knew I had! Crossfit Array is a family! Everyone pushes each other to push through and succeed! No one there wants you to fail! The coaches are extremely knowledgable & determined to see you reach your goals, & not only physical goals, but personal goals as well! The classes are very small… It literally feels like you have your very own personal trainer… & on top of all that, the first class is free! I guarantee you’ll sign up after your first class however! You really have nothing to lose! Come & give it a shot!

There are two things I look for when trying to find a place to workout: 1. awesome people and 2 a really good workout. Crossfit Array has both!
1. The coaches make you feel welcomed no matter what level of fitness you are at. The members are friendly and make the even most brutal of workouts a good time. Everyone’s extremely encouraging and motivating. This is definitely not one of those intimidating crossfit gyms.
2. The workouts here will never get boring! Coach Vaz changes things up every week. Even our warm ups change! You’ll never do the same thing twice. But the best part is how great of a workout you get in the one hour you spend there. You see results quickly and get stronger by the week. I’ve been into fitness for years and nothing has changed my body the way crossfit has. It’s almost impossible not to see results, which keeps you motivated and working!
In short. I’m addicted and can’t wait to go back!

Never did I think working out can be fun! As part of my New Years resolution I wanted to start working out and shedding off some pounds for the new year… I decided to research a couple of gyms in my area so I can get started in January. Little did I know if find this cute little gym full of enthusiastic trainers that would get me hooked and started right away. I am so glad that I started a month earlier towards my new year goal!
The gym is always clean, and everyone there makes u feel like home and family.
And it’s awesome because their Rates are muchhhhhhhh cheaper than any other crossfit gyms I’ve looked into.
Cheap and fun! On my way to a healthy lifestyle and weightloss:)
