Nakoma Strong Health and Fitness Center

Fantastic experience: I am a travel nurse, and was looking for a crossfit gym while in assignment. Nakoma has been the perfect fit. The community here is like no other. Everyone is so welcoming and supportive. Coaches are knowledgeable and helpful, all while pushing you to be a better you. They also help to scale any workout to the level that you need. I love it here ❤

Fantastic experience: Nakoma Strong CrossFit is the greatest gym that I have ever been too. You only have one person you are in competition with and that’s yourself! Everyone is so welcoming and encouraging. You definitely feel like you’re apart of something more! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym so much! Everyone is so welcoming. The coaches are amazing. Super clean. Fully equipped. Good vibes a plenty!!! Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro…..you’ll love it here!

Fantastic experience: Not your average gym. I’ve had my fair share of gym experiences and felt like the workout life was not for me. Overweight and making bad life choices I knew it was time to make a change. Thankfully, I came to the right place, the only place. The facility is incredibly clean. The coaches, the atmosphere, the athletes are all just incredible. The hardest part is walking in the door the first time, after that it’s a blast and it makes it so easy to show up everyday. Everyday I am thankful for Natalie and team for empowering me to transform my mental and physical strength along with all the good that comes with it.

Fantastic experience: Nakoma is an amazing gym with all kinds of workouts for everyone! From beginners to advanced. Coaches are so encouraging in and out of the gym. They adjust the workouts to fit your needs. Bootcamp class is challenging & awesome all wrapped into one. I'm so glad I found this hidden gym in Havasu.

Fantastic experience: I never thought I’d be someone who does CrossFit, mainly because I never thought I’d be able to DO CrossFit. The environment is welcoming, friendly and fun! All of the coaches and members make CrossFit seem more like a family than a fitness center.

Fantastic experience: This gym is all around great! Coaches are knowledgeable and helpful and encouraging. Members are supportive and helpful as well. Very welcoming place to workout with a great crowd!!.

Fantastic experience: I joined Bootcamp at Nakoma Strong a little over a year ago and love attending M, W, Fri 5:30AM sessions. Coaches Kathy Strang and Tricia Ward are very supportive and do also bring on the heat for a good challenging workout. I have also bought a punch card for an occasional Saturday WOD on the functional fitness side. Love the coaches and part of the community (fitness family) offered by Nakoma Strong owner/head coach, Natalie Marcom!

Fantastic experience: I walked into Nakoma Fitness Center nearly a year ago. I was a bit hesitant at first. But, that changed the moment I walked in those doors and heard that cow bell ring above my head. Instantly, I was greeted with warm welcome by Natalie. I was given a tour of the facility, which I had no clue was so big! Natalie asked me what my goals were and what my fitness level was. She was very knowledgeable and informative about the group classes, class times and other services offered. After 11 months of attending group classes at Nakoma I can honestly say walking into that door was the best thing I've done for myself in a long time. I have made some amazing new friends and a love for fitness I didn't know I had. What I truly love the most about Nakoma is the culture. Everyone is so supportive! There is no ego, or competition between members. We all have our own goals and we support each other to attain those goals. Our classes are full of high fives, fist bumps and words of encouragment. The coaches at Nakoma Fitness Center are extremely knowledgeable, caring and safe. They know my name, what I'm capable of and are alway there to coach me and keep me moving through even the toughest workouts. The faculty is top notch! They have all the modern fitness equipment. Rowers, Assault Bikes, lots of weights and barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, slam balls and more. The equipment is clean and well cared for. You can tell the members take pride and ownership in the gym because they always wipe down and clean their equipment after each use. The facility is very clean and well maintained. It has three restrooms, a lounge area and mercantile soft goods, protein bars, water and various fitness drinks for sale. Which are easily purchased using a pin attached to a bank card. There are group fitness classes offered at the same time everyday, so its really easy to find one that fits my schedule and if something comes up I can jump into another slot. Additionally, if you want to use the facility and couldn't make a class they have open gym so you can come in and use the equipment on your own. Overall, in my opinion this is the best fitness center in LHC!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. Everyone is so nice and have become a second family. I love how we hold each other accountable and cheer each other on. The workouts are definitely no joke but they are made to modify depending on your ability. I thought I would feel intimidated by the other members but they are the best. Sometimes I need that extra push and someone telling me to keep going and cheering me on. I have been making improvements and getting stronger with every workout. You will not regret joining Nakoma!

Fantastic experience: Nakoma is an amazing gym. They go above and beyond meeting everyone at their current fitness levels from beginners to advanced athletes. The moment you walk in the door they make you feel like family. They also have an amazing nutrition program that can help guide you along your journey. This is the only gym I have ever felt comfortable working out in. For the past year it has felt like a second home to me. Kindra Goodman

Fantastic experience: I love Nakoma Strong and recommend it to anyone who is trying to improve themselves! Natalie is great, she watches and listens and seems to simultaneously be paying attention to everyone around her. I started with boot camps and eventually crossed over to Functional Fitness and have been at it for 3 months. Every coach brings something slightly different to the table but all are super attentive to detail, that all do a stellar job. I know a lot of people think “crossfit”, if you’re over 30 you’ll injure yourself but at Nakoma with the coaches attention to detail it’s just not the case, At well over 50 Im closing in on the best shape I’ve been in in 35 years. Ps 5:00 am Coaches and class members are the Best!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Absolutely love this place!

Fantastic experience: I started with Nakoma in January 2021 and have enjoyed every class I have attended. I love the team spirit here. Everyone is willing to help and encourage you to do things you never thought you could do. The icing on the cake.....the coaches are AMAZING!!

Fantastic experience: You won't regret joining Nakoma! Great Coaches, great environment to learn and grow in and just overall an amazing place. I used to drag my feet to the gym, now I look forward to that hour of my day.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I always feel welcomed when I walk in the door ❤️ One of my favorite places in Havasu!!!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 5 years, I believe. I LOVE this gym. I was not much into fitness, but once I started out, I got addicted! The workouts are different every day,. The coaches are amazing! They teach you with your abilities, not theirs. So many modifications for any movement! But the biggest motivatition are the other gym members. Everyone cheers everyone on! A great community feel!

Fantastic experience: Love this place! Everyone is so friendly and inviting. I've been going here for almost 4 years and enjoy it as much as I did the first day. The coaches are very knowledgeable and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Friendly gym and Great Coaches ..

Fantastic experience: Nakoma not only stuck with me through my ups and downs, but also taught me that fitness can be fun. I always leave class feeling accomplished, even though most of the movements were modified for me. The coaches truly care about you and your journey to better health. I also have taken advantage of their nutrition counseling service and Coach Nat and Coach Alyssa have given me perspective on how I can make little changes at a time to be the best version of myself. The facility is immaculate, organized and there is a genuine positivity in the air as soon as you open the door. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Love Nakoma! From the WODs to the nutrition coaching to the massage therapy. A really great place no matter your fitness level. They have something for everyone.

Fantastic experience: The coaches here are all about keeping you strong yet healthy and without injury! If you have an injury, they can adjust all movements. Highly recommend for all ages and body styles!

Fantastic experience: I joined Nakoma a little more than a year ago and it has been such an amazing experience! The coaches are very knowledgeable and work great with everyone regardless of how much training you have had in the gym. I have learned so much from them not only in the workouts but in nutrition as well!! I would highly recommend this gym for anyone who wants to improve their fitness and health.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym!!! The first thing that impressed me when I started my fitness journey was the friendliness and how accepting the athletes and coaches were. Walking into a gym as a new member with very limited experience can be quite intimidating. From day one I felt apart of a very special group of people. The second thing about this gym is that the coaches are all about safety. They demonstrate and lead the athletes through each and every movement making corrections to athlete’s form prior to the workout of the day. Lastly, the coaches hold various crossfit certifications, and include military veterans, a physical therapist, firefighter/paramedic, and a nutritionist. All of whom will share their knowledge to help you improve your fitness lifestyle. Truly this gym is so well rounded there are also massage sessions available and a doctor to provide urgent care services. Making this gym a true health and fitness facility.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Being a senior citizen it was very intimidating to even walk in. The coaches are very knowledgeable and adapt to my specific needs, they make you feel very welcome, always available to help. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to up your workout.

Fantastic experience: Nakoma Strong is AWESOME! Natalie has created a non-intimidating culture to promote a safe and fun place for improving one’s fitness and health. The coaches are able to modify workouts to your body's limitations for the day. The gym is clean and organized. Members are fun and help each other.

Fantastic experience: Love this place!

Fantastic experience: I chose Nakoma over other “CrossFit” gyms in 2018 and what a great decision that was! The gym is immaculate, well organized, has all the equipment you need, and a caring coaching staff. The biggest difference is the vibe, with less focus on competition and more focus on your individual fitness needs in an atmosphere that is so social and welcoming that it becomes a second family. I think that is why this place attracts such a diverse crowd: from people in their 70’s who perhaps never imagined picking up a barbell, to amazing athletes training to compete or serve in military special forces units, and all us mere mortals in between. Each day’s wod (workout of the day) is programmed with the big picture in mind: varied in intensity with functional movement and also includes a strength or skill component that can be adjusted or scaled to any level of fitness, from the first timer to the most athletic. The Nakoma coach will personally help you - you are never alone! The workouts build on each other and help you measure your progress. The owner and founder of this gym is Natalie. When you meet her, you will understand why this place is so unique and successful in bringing fitness and wellness to Lake Havasu residents who find their way here.

Fantastic experience: Nakoma Strong Health and Fitness Center is easily the best fitness center/gym/box I’ve ever worked out at. Being able to utilize the open gym as well as classes under one membership is extremely beneficial. Nakoma also maintains a clean and healthy environment for all gym goers. The excellent coaching staff, quality equipment and friendly faces make every workout an enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality The coaches at Nakoma have encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and reach higher goals.

Fantastic experience: The best gym experience. The coaches are full of knowledge and bring such a good energy to every class!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality the best thing i've ever done for my health. @77 years old i can deadlift 185 pounds, shed 10 pounds of fat and am overall the healthiest i've ever been in my life. SENIORS come join us

Fantastic experience: I was here for A CPR class, The only non member of the Nekoma Crossfit Training Center. The people there were very welcoming and professional when I walked in. This is a membership place, that I would join if I lived in Lake Havasu City. Thank you very much Natalie for making me feel like I was part of the group while we were doing our class. Anyone in the area should check them out, If you call and don't get me answer make sure you leave a message and Natalie will call you back.

Fantastic experience: All of the coaches truly care about your personal growth and goals. The coaches are very knowledge when it comes to modifications, form, and techniques. They keep up on their continuing education and are always bringing new ideas forward. All of the box members are like family. A very comfortable and supportive atmosphere to workout in. I’m now strong enough to do things I could do in elementary or high school like rope climbing and pull ups because of the programming. Hands down the best box!

Fantastic experience: That workout kicked my butt! Natalie is so supportive and encouraging. All the instructors are awesome and really pay attention to each person so you are safe and get the most out of the WOD.

Fantastic experience: What a great facility! Their new location is very spacious and CLEAN! I drop into boxes across the globe and this one is Top 5. The facility is well equipped and Natalie is a great coach. Give it a try the next time you’re in Lake Havasu!

Fantastic experience: This is the 3rd CrossFit gym I have been to since I joined CF in 2016. This is by far my favorite. I feel very comfortable at this gym and people here are more like family than just workout partners. The coaches are awesome and the facility is amazing. This gym is about 50% men and 50% women. This is not an ego driven competitive environment like some other gyms I have been to. Young, old, overweight or extreme athlete, this place is for you because it is warm, welcoming and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: The trainers are friendly and knowledgeable. What a great box!

Fantastic experience: I am so glad I foung this gym! I was terrified to even try crossfit! But I am so glad I finally did! I have had more results in the short 7months I have been here, than I have had in the last 10 years of trying any thing else! everyone is amazing! The coaches are patient and encouraging! I reccomend (and brag alot) Nakoma to everyone I know!

Fantastic experience: Very clean and well kept box with positive enthusiastic trainers. Natalie the owner is salt of the earth person who passionately breathes crossfit and proper movement standards. Not the most competitive box, but a welcoming atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Been an avid crossfitter for 5 years and Nakoma far exceeds any expectation of a great xfit box! Clean, welcoming, great coaches, open gym ALL day and reasonable prices with fun and ever changing merchandise. Would recommend this place to any and all!

Fantastic experience: Clean, and very friendly staff. Very good, and knowledgeable. They take individual care.
