Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk through the doors, you feel the difference — this isn’t just a gym, it’s a community built on encouragement, hard work, and heart. The coaches are not only incredibly knowledgeable and motivating, but they genuinely care about each person’s journey. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just starting out, they meet you where you are and push you (safely!) to become stronger, fitter, and more confident in your abilities. The programming is smart, effective, and always challenging in the best way. You’ll never be bored — every workout is thoughtfully planned and scalable to your level. What really sets CrossFit 104 apart is the culture of support. The members here cheer each other on, celebrate the wins, and lift you up when you’re having a tough day. It’s more than fitness — it’s family. If you’re looking for a place that will change your body, mindset, and community, CrossFit 104 is it. Passion, purpose, and power live here. I’m so grateful to have found this place!

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Thank you so much for this incredible review—and for the amazing photo you shared of yourself at the gym! Seeing that proud, strong moment captured right here at CrossFit 104 put a huge smile on all our faces. That image says it all: determination, growth, and the kind of confidence that only comes from stepping outside your comfort zone and doing the hard things consistently. You’re living proof that change happens one rep, one class, and one breakthrough at a time.

We’re beyond grateful you chose CrossFit 104 to start your CrossFit journey a year ago. You could’ve started anywhere—but you came here, committed yourself, and have now experienced firsthand what makes our CrossFit community so powerful. Hearing that this has been a life changer for you is exactly what fuels our team of passionate coaches and fellow athletes.

From day one, our mission has been to create a space where people feel seen, supported, and safe to grow—no matter their starting point. Whether you're walking into your first class unsure of how to hold a barbell, or pushing for a new PR on your deadlift, our coaches meet you where you are, offering expert guidance and encouragement every step of the way. The “energy and encouragement” you mentioned? That’s the heartbeat of our gym. It's what keeps people coming back—not just for the workouts, but for the people beside them cheering them on.

At CrossFit 104, we believe fitness is about more than just muscles and sweat—it’s about community, mindset, and transformation. The friendships formed here are real. The support during tough workouts is constant. And the growth we witness—mentally, emotionally, and physically—is what sets this CrossFit box apart from any other local gym or fitness program. Your experience is a perfect reflection of that.

We also want to shout out how brave and inspiring it is that you’re telling others to step outside their comfort zone. That’s not just advice—it’s a call to action. And for anyone in Crystal Lake searching for a beginner-friendly CrossFit gym near me, or a supportive space to start their fitness journey, your words and your photo speak volumes. You’ve shown that even the first step can lead to a completely transformed life—and we’re so honored to be part of yours.

So again—thank you. For the review. For the photo. For showing up, sweating, growing, and becoming the strong person you are today. We can’t wait to see what this next year brings for you at CrossFit 104. We'll be cheering you on louder than ever.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with a very welcoming community and coaches that are knowledgeable and encouraging!!

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Thank you so much for dropping in with us—and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review! We absolutely loved having you at CrossFit 104, and we’re honored you chose our gym as your fitness home while visiting Crystal Lake.

One of the most beautiful things about the CrossFit community is how it brings people together across cities, states, and even countries. Whether someone is walking in for their first ever CrossFit class or dropping in during a quick weekend trip, we do everything we can to make sure everyone feels welcomed, challenged, and appreciated. We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience!

Our coaching staff genuinely enjoys meeting drop-in athletes because it gives us a chance to showcase the heart of our gym—high-quality coaching, energetic classes, and a supportive fitness family that makes every workout feel like a win. We know it can be tough to find a gym while traveling, especially during holidays, so we’re glad you found us and felt comfortable jumping into the WOD with our community.

At CrossFit 104, we treat every class like an opportunity to grow—not just physically, but through connection and community. Whether you’re a regular member or just in town for a short time, we aim to deliver the same level of attention to form, safety, and performance. Our coaches make sure every movement is scalable and accessible, so visitors of all fitness levels can confidently participate and leave feeling accomplished. And of course, we try to add a little extra fun along the way—especially around the holidays!

We also want to thank you again for choosing to train with us during your visit to the area. We’re so glad you spent part of your weekend with us. The next time you're back in Crystal Lake, whether it's for another holiday or just passing through, we’d love to have you drop in again. You’ll always have a spot waiting for you at CrossFit 104.

Safe travels, and until next time—keep crushing those WODs wherever you are!

Tanya Pantoja 4 months ago

Fantastic experience: The community here is so welcoming and helpful. I definitely feel encouraged to keep going harder, getting stronger, and overall better. When I moved to the area I was scared to try something new, especially since I’ve never worked out at a CrossFit but CrossFit 104, the coaches and even members all make it a fun experience.

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Wow—your words truly made our day (maybe even our week)! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience at CrossFit Rise Up 104. We genuinely appreciate it more than a perfectly timed burpee break!

We completely understand how daunting it can be to step into a new gym, especially a CrossFit box. The weights, the acronyms (what even is an EMOM?!), the ropes hanging from the ceiling—it can feel like you’ve accidentally walked into a Navy SEAL training center. But you did the hard part: you showed up. And from there, you discovered what we always hope people will see—that CrossFit 104 isn’t just about WODs and PRs (though we love those too), it’s about community, courage, and yes, even a little chaos... the good kind.

We are so proud of you for pushing past those initial nerves. It’s no small thing to step out of your comfort zone—especially after a move—and choose to invest in yourself, both physically and mentally. It takes guts. It takes heart. And clearly, you’ve got both.

Our coaches pour their energy, expertise, and heart into every class because we believe every person who walks through our doors deserves to feel seen, safe, and supported—whether it’s their first CrossFit class ever or their 1,000th. And the best part? Our members take that mission just as seriously. It’s not uncommon to hear a “you’ve got this!” shouted across the room mid-workout, or a spontaneous high-five from someone you just met. That kind of environment can’t be bought—it’s built. And your kind words affirm that we’re doing something right.

We’re so glad you’ve found encouragement, strength, and even a little fun here (okay, a lot of fun—we take our workouts seriously but never ourselves). Whether you’re going harder with every WOD or just trying to remember which way the barbell goes, we’re here for all of it. Your growth is inspiring, and we can’t wait to see where your fitness journey takes you from here.

Thank you again for trusting us and being part of what makes this community so special. We’re honored to have you here—and remember, if all else fails, just keep moving and smile like you meant to do that last burpee flop.

Stay strong, keep rising, and we’ll see you in the next WOD!

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches, friendly people!

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Thank you so much for the kind words—and that smiley face truly says it all! We’re thrilled you’ve felt the love from both our coaches and community. Our team works hard to make sure every class is not only effective, but welcoming, fun, and just the right amount of challenging. And our members? They’re the heartbeat of this place—always ready with a fist bump, a high five, or a friendly word (sometimes all three before 6am). Whether you’re brand new or a seasoned athlete, we want everyone to feel like they belong here—and your review lets us know we’re hitting the mark. Thanks for being part of what makes CrossFit 104 so special. We’ll keep showing up with the sweat, smiles, and support—you just keep being awesome. See you at the next WOD!

Fantastic experience: Have been coming to this gym for over a decade. The coaching is second to none. If learning how to exercise while being in a welcoming community is what you're looking for, look no further.

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Thank you so much for this incredible review—and for being part of this community for over a decade! That kind of commitment speaks volumes, and we’re honored that you've chosen to stick with us through the years. Having a member (and former owner!) who knows the ins and outs of this gym and still believes in the quality of the coaching and community means the world to us. Our coaches work hard to bring knowledge, support, and a whole lot of heart to every class, and it’s amazing to hear that shines through. Whether someone is walking into CrossFit for the first time or has been doing it for years, we believe in making everyone feel seen, challenged, and encouraged. Thank you for continuing to be part of this family and for helping shape what CrossFit 104 is today. We’re better because of you—and we’ll see you at the next WOD!

Fantastic experience: I joined CrossFit Phoenix in May of 2022 and have had a great experience. The coaches are phenomenal. They take the time to teach you the proper mechanics and push you to improve every workout. The culture is like nothing I have ever experienced. The members are welcoming and supportive. Everyone there pushes you to do your best and are always there to celebrate your accomplishments. I have seen some great results in the time I have been a member here and am excited to see where I can take my fitness level to.

Fantastic experience: I Joined crossfit a few weeks ago and when I tell you I am soooo happy with my decision to get in shape. I joined crossfit to help me to start my journey. (I have not seriously worked out in over 10 years) However because I resaerched crossfit and met with them and talked about my goals and how benefitial crossfit is I got so excited. I also love the vibe here everyone is encouraging and very welcoming. Coach Luis is an amazing coach he makes sure I understand how to correctly do the movements to ensure I dont injure myself he explains what each workout does for my body. He also encourages me throughout the workout to keep going. I am very happy that I joined Crossfit and that I have an amazing gym to go to! *If you are reading this you already have taken the first step just click the call button and setup a consultation.

Robb Tadelman 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a proud member of CrossFit 104 for 6 years now, and this community continues to be one of the most important parts of my life. Before joining, I worked out at a traditional gym but wasn’t seeing progress—I lacked the coaching, accountability, and challenge that I found here from day one. Over the past year, I’ve also had the privilege of coaching at CrossFit 104, and it’s only deepened my appreciation for the athletes, the staff, and the programming. Whether you’re brand new to CrossFit or a seasoned competitor, this gym welcomes everyone and helps them grow. CrossFit 104 is more than a gym—it’s a family, and hands down the best box in the Fox Valley.

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Thank you so much for this incredible review—and for six years of showing up, leveling up, and pouring your heart into CrossFit 104. Watching you grow from athlete to coach has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey. Your consistency, encouragement, and willingness to challenge yourself (and now others!) are exactly what this community is all about.

And let’s be honest… coaching the 5:20am crew? That’s no small feat. The workouts are tough, but sometimes it's the nonstop chatter before sunrise that tests your endurance most. Between the early morning social hour, playlist debates, and questionable jokes before the warm-up starts, we’re pretty sure coaching that class builds emotional strength too. Yet you do it all with patience, humor, and leadership—and we couldn’t be more grateful.

You truly embody what makes this place special: real connection, real challenge, and a whole lot of heart. Thank you for being such a huge part of the 104 family.

Positive experience: This is a decent rock wall. Mostly bouldering, but it's pretty reasonably priced and they have good hours. Bought a 6 month pass as a gift which was a good value, but they don't have physical passes - so nothing tangible to give.

Michael Bodi 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been here at CrossFit 104 as an athlete, coach, and friend since inception. Our community is very friendly and a joy to be around. JoAnn is a wonderful person and owner who genuinely cares for the wellbeing of others. The coaches are very welcoming and tailors workouts to the person's level of fitness so you can be safe and grow. Everyone is welcome and you can start where you are to progress in your health and wellness journey.

Fantastic experience: Anyone who crossfit and did not like it...you went to the wrong box. Crossfit Phoenix is amazing. Fantastic owner, wonderful coaches, inspiring teammates!!! Couldn't ask for anything more. Smaller class size allowing for that more personalized coaching and safety is always first. Perfect second home!!!

Zak Dolezal 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I've been part of the Crossfit Phoenix family since it's inception. I love the staff and I love the friends I have made working out here. The classes are kept small which has helped me grow as an athlete and prevent injuries. Their motto that everyone is welcome is very true. The coaches and athletes are so welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Great gym with awesome coaches. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else.

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Thank you so much for this short-but-powerful review! Honestly, your words might be few, but the impact behind them is huge—and so is the gratitude we feel having you as such a deeply rooted part of our CrossFit 104 family.

Let’s be real for a second: anyone who regularly shows up to a 5:20am class is already operating on another level. It’s not just discipline—it’s devotion. Most people are still tangled in their blankets, possibly dreaming about brunch. But you? You’re out here in the dark, putting in work, choosing movement over comfort, growth over excuses, and showing the kind of consistency that deserves a gold medal.

And here’s the thing we admire most about you: you show up for yourself—not to be the strongest in the room, but to become the strongest version of yourself. That is a power we don’t celebrate nearly enough in fitness. Scaling workouts doesn’t mean scaling back effort. You bring the same fire, heart, and determination to every single class, and that kind of persistence is what real strength looks like. PRs are great, but so is having the wisdom to know your body, the courage to pace yourself, and the grit to keep going when things get tough.

Your presence sets a tone. It reminds the early crew that showing up consistently matters more than showing off. You’re a quiet force of determination—an example of what it means to play the long game, to prioritize health, and to do it all with grace and positivity (even when the WOD looks like it was designed by a mad scientist with a vendetta against legs).

Our coaches love having you in class because you trust the process, respect your body, and always bring great energy. And when you say, “I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else,” we feel that. Deeply. That’s the exact feeling we strive to create every day—that no matter where someone is on their fitness journey, they know they belong here.

This gym is more than walls and weights—it’s a place built by people like you: humble, driven, encouraging, and willing to do the work. Thank you for choosing to grow with us, for waking up before the birds, and for reminding us all that consistency beats perfection every time.

We’re honored to be your gym, and even more honored to be part of your routine, your journey, and your community. Here's to many more early mornings, sweaty high-fives, and victories that go far beyond the scoreboard.

You’re the heart of 104, and we’re lucky to have you.

With gratitude,
—The CrossFit 104 Team

Fantastic experience: I started at CF 815 in Feb 2020 after years of running and not incorporating weights. The results and strength gains I have seen by following the programming and the encouragement of the box has been great. The focus on proper mechanics and coaching has really helped me in improving strength on Olympic lifts along with pullups. The team atmosphere to push you beyond what you think you can do really drives results and friendly competition. Come see what they have to offer, you will be impressed with what you can accomplish.

Fantastic experience: I joined this family of great people at the end of June 2021 will be a year ago. I had not been in any gym for 2 years. I met with Luis and felt comfortable from the very beginning. He made sure I was knowledgeable and capable of doing the workouts before releasing me to workout with the crew. I have discovered an enteral drive to keep getting better, and this comes from the great positive coaches as well as the camaraderie from everyone around. I’m very pleased and love everyone here at the gym. The gym is always clean, there’s a bathroom with a clean private shower that allows me to workout in the morning and shower before work. I highly recommend our gym to those who want a better lifestyle and those who are looking for a family environment.

CrossFit Phoenix 815

Welcome back, and thank you for this beautiful review—it means so much to us, especially coming from someone who’s been part of our story across time. You know how they say “real recognizes real”? That’s how we feel when a familiar face walks through the door again. Your return has been like a favorite song showing up on shuffle at the perfect moment—it just hits differently.

First, we need to give a standing ovation (quietly, because it’s probably still dark out) for your commitment to the 5:20am class. That’s not just early—that’s “only owls and overachievers are awake” early. There’s a special kind of grit that lives in those early hours, and it’s a rare breed of human who willingly walks into a gym at that time, ready to deadlift, sweat, and smile before the sun is even thinking about clocking in. And you—you do it with consistency, joy, and a spirit that lifts up everyone around you. We see it, and we appreciate it more than you know.

It’s heartwarming to hear that the kindness and welcoming vibe at CrossFit Rise Up 104 continues to shine in your experience. That’s not by accident—it’s the culture we work intentionally to foster every single day. Our coaches might have the cueing, programming, and mobility tips down, but it’s our members—like you—who create the real magic. You bring that spark back with you, and it lights up the box in a way we can’t thank you enough for.

We also love that this is the part of your day you look forward to. That’s everything to us. We know the gym is more than just a place to get fit. It’s a safe space, a pressure valve, a hype squad, and sometimes even a low-key therapy session—complete with sweat, chalk, and questionable dance moves between lifts. If this 5:20am crew were a sitcom, you’d absolutely be one of the stars (possibly the one who shows up with coffee for the crew and still crushes the metcon).

Having you back brings us so much joy—not just because of the incredible energy and dedication you bring to the early crew, but because it reminds us of the bonds that transcend time. People come and go in life, and when someone circles back to this community, it reaffirms what we’ve always believed: this place is special, and it sticks with you.

We’re so grateful to be a part of your daily rhythm again. Thank you for your trust, your time, and your consistent presence. We’ll keep showing up with the programming, the high-fives, the loud playlists, and the space for you to keep thriving.

Here’s to many more early mornings, strong lifts, and big laughs. We’re glad you’re home.

Fantastic experience: I'm in my 50s and have been running for 30 years. I was looking for something different to do and decided to try crossfit. A friend of mine recommended Phoenix Cross fit . I walked into my first class completely lost. It was soon turned around by the staff. They are the most sweetest , supportive coaches . Sure , there are things I've never attempted before in my life , but they help you and coach you right through it. Being a runner it was up to me to push myself. It is nice to have people push you and support you at the same time. What is also fun is the other athletes in the class are just as supportive and want you to succeed. I love going to class now and actually for the first time in my life enjoy working out. Also , I lost weight and gained muscle having fun !!

Fantastic experience: I was visiting the area from Arizona and decided to drop-in for a class on Friday morning. The facility was great, but the people and community were even better. Everyone was so welcoming and really made me feel at home. I loved it so much that I decided to go back for a second class on Saturday. The coaches took their time to explain the movements and Wayne was very responsive via email. I'd highly recommend whether you're looking for a home gym or visiting from out of town!

Douglas Blake (Doug) 13 years ago

Negative experience: Not impressed with facility. Kids went to a MWF climbing camp and while observing on the Friday, realized camp was highly UNDERSTAFFED! First off, the 3 highschool aged employees where overwhelmed by a group of dozen or so 6-12 year olds. In addition, one employee left after 1st hour, leaving only 2 employees remaining. Unfortunately, the only way to climb a wall is to be assisted by employee, thus not a lot of climbing prevailed. However, did observe a lot of unsupervised running around and rowdy play, which I feel my kids could do at home for free. I was under the impression that a camp consisted of supervised and organized activities--none of which I saw. Then of course, you need to bring your own water--and plenty of it--if you happen to get thirsty during the activity. Not a drininking fountain in sight! Your only option is to BUY water if you so desire. Plus my kids indicated there was a restroom but it was gross. If I break down the $150 fee, $50 per day, comes out to about $17 an hour for the 3 hours. Don't think my kids got that much value for the money. I don't know if adult programs any better but facility is only 2 stories so highest wall is only about 20 feet. I've hear people say good things about this but personally, just didn't see it.
