LX Athletics

LX Athletics is a sports performance training business led by Lexi McKnight, a former competitive gymnast who competed at the national level. She earned a bachelor's degree in exercise science with an emphasis in sports performance from Grand Canyon University, and her work covers strength, speed, change of direction, explosiveness, injury prevention and rehabilitation. She has trained youth, high school and NCAA athletes, as well as professionals in the NFL, NBA and boxing.

Sessions are personal or small group, and they suit anyone returning to play after an injury, athletes building sport-specific strength, and athletic teams. The training space includes battle ropes, suspended ropes, barbells, free weights, a gymnastics studio with rings and a custom obstacle course. Weekday hours run from early morning into the evening, with shorter hours on weekends. The gym is on East Redfield Road in Scottsdale, and it has a locker room with showers and towels.
