Traveled to Albuquerque from out of town and needed a workout. I saw a Cantina Crossfit sticker at a pub and decided to give it a shot. Best experience I've had in Albuquerque so far. The gym not only has top-tier equipment but people as well. Give this gym a shot, you won't regret it.

In town from CO and needed to get in open workout 26.2. Great atmosphere, very welcoming and accommodating for getting set up. Came back in the next day for a recovery day row. Thanks John, Shasta and Chris!

Dropped in from Utah while visiting ABQ. Great gym. Great owner and coaches. Great community. Made me feel like I was at my home gym. I will definitely come again next time I’m in town.
