Fantastic experience: I have to admit that I was very nervous when my son presented me with a gift certificate for EAD for my birthday in January. After all, I was out of shape, had had a knee replacement 2 years prior and was't sure what I'd be able to do or if I'd be able to keep up. After the first class, I was more at ease, but still a little anxious about performance as I was not fit enough to do most of the exercises properly but I did give valiant effort. I've been attending twice a week since February and now I can keep up! I am able to perform things like sit -ups (was able to do 1 the first day) like a champ! My strength is improving, my body is toning, my endurance is improving. Thanks to the coaches, the exercises that are restricted for anyone with a total joint replacement were modified for me. I feel right at home. Thank you EAD for changing my life!

Elite Athletic Development | CrossFit Arlington Heights

Chris, thank you so much for taking the time to write us this great review! We really appreciate it and are glad that you stuck with the program and are starting to see the benefits of it!

Christine Boepple 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: EAD gives you a true sense of community. Athletes of all levels pushing and supporting each other to achieve personal fitness goals. The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging - and a big reason for me to continually attend classes. I truly appreciate the education and feedback on proper body mechanics for various movements and lifts completed in each class.

Elite Athletic Development | CrossFit Arlington Heights

Christine, thank you so much for taking the time to write us this great review, we really appreciate it and are so glad that you are enjoying our community!

Mike Egan 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: The coaches take their time with you to refine proper techniques and support you in achieving your goals. Just as important is the support and comaraderie the EAD community provides. EAD offers the physical challenges I need, at my ability level, and provides the support I need to achieve my health, physical, and nutritional goals.

Charlotte Obodzinski 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym, with knowledgeable coaches and a welcoming atmosphere. I joined in EAD with 1.5 years of CrossFit experience in June of 2016 after relocating from the city. I was impressed by this gym as it is one of the original CrossFit gyms in Chicagoland and the people are so friendly. I would recommend EAD to anyone looking for a good box in the Northwest Suburbs. There are a good mix of all levels of CrossFitters at this gym so it is not intimidating for first timers!

Elite Athletic Development | CrossFit Arlington Heights

Charlotte, we appreciate you taking the time to write us this wonderful review and thank you for such a great recommendation as well!

Krissy Matney 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: The staff is wonderful and know exactly what they are talking about. It's the best "box" around! The support of others new and old is what pushes me to continue to do my best

Fantastic experience: I started riding the Computrainer at EAD in 2007. I wanted to race bikes. I have since graduated to Olympic strength training and now have two Il State Championships in my age group racing Cyclocross. Go to EAD.

Nina Bijedic-Arce 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been an athlete at EAD for three years, and it has been the best decision I made to join and train with this truly amazing group of people. The coaching staff is friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable. I love coming here!
