Fox River Strength and Conditioning, Home of North Aurora CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: After 9 years the owner of my “go to” Fox Valley CrossFit facility closed. Every week for 9 years I had my routine with a great group of people. I was really challenged on what to do. A good friend recommended FRSC so I looked into it and decided to give it a shot. What a great decision! The regulars there welcomed me and made me comfortable. The workouts are organized and clearly walked through. The coaching and help is constructive and always in line with my capabilities. Thank you Tom for creating a supportive, growth focused community. My routine is back!

Negative experience: Always playing sad music not sure who’s in control of it. We need upbeat music to get us in the workout mood. Also, a staff member almost ran my boyfriend and I over with her car. Definitely need to have an inservice about being carful in the parking lot.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Drop time 7:30am to 9am and pick up 4pm. Don't call and don't left messages they don't call back. Clean place.

Fantastic experience: When our coaches say any workout or move can be adapted, they mean it and they stand by it! Professional, very knowledgeable, and always supportive, no matter what limitations or restrictions are in play. They take excellent care of us. I have always felt safe here -- clean, spacious, plenty of equipment, terrific all-ages community. After decades in commercial gyms, I'm very happy at FRSC, and I wish I'd joined sooner.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout! Lots of space to workout and a fun community. Good programming for any level of fitness. I am definitely healthier after having joined this gym.

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the area! I was nervous going to a CrossFit gym for the first time, as I had only gone to the traditional "swipe the card" type gyms. Tom and everyone at the gym were very welcoming and encouraging. The workouts are fun, challenging, and 100% suitable for anyone and everyone. Tom focuses on functional movements and correct form helping you improve strength, endurance, and range of motion. The best part is the community. Everyone has different skill levels and abilities, making it hard for some to workout together. But here, no matter what your experience level is, everyone does the same workout, but the workouts are tailored to your individual skill level. This gives the sense of community and togetherness, but still allowing for all skill levels. I would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I tried a couple other CrossFit gyms in the tri-cities area before settling in at FRSC / North Aurora CrossFit. Great community. All ages. Tom + staff will help you reach new heights in your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 3 years and look forward to many more years. FRSC is more than just a “gym”. When I tell people I do CrossFit their first reaction is “I could never do that” and, my answer is “that’s the beauty of CrossFit everything can be scaled so yes you can”. I admit being intimidated when I first joined, but I’m so happy I had. Once you get over the initial fear and just try it you won’t regret it. Owner/Coach Tom programs the workouts so you don’t have to think of a game plan. He always starts the class with a warm up session tailored to the specific workout of the day. Strong focus on form and technique so you stay injury free. The community is supportive and friendly. The gym is very clean and has plenty of space. If you’re looking to turn up your workouts or want to try it for the first time I highly recommend you join us here at FRSC

Fantastic experience: I’ve tried a handful of gyms in the area but Fox River Strength & Conditioning is easily my favorite. The gym is huge and well maintained. The community is my favorite part. You have everyone from almost every walk of life and everyone is so supportive and welcoming. It’s also one of the only gyms in the area that follows its own programming. Tom, the owner of the affiliate, does the programming and is very knowledgeable about progressive overload and corrective exercise. I’ve been training my entire life but since starting at FRSC 6 months ago I’ve progressed SO much! CrossFit can be a bit intimidating but I promise you’ll love it! The first week is free and the first month is discounted so you can try it out.

Fantastic experience: Best gym I’ve been a part of! The facility is very spacious and organized/clean which makes working out in a group easy. I was nervous going into my first class, but Tom and the community made me feel welcomed and comfortable working out. Tom is very knowledgeable and can help any member with technique, workout scales, or correctional exercises. Now two years later of being a member of the gym, I’ve made lifelong friends and have improved my health. If you want to feel healthier, exercise with friends, and get stronger then FRSC is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: Drop in friendly. Tom is very responsive to emails. He's also a very attentive coach without being a helicopter. Gym is large and well laid-out, as well as being exceptionally clean. 3 different flooring sections for different skills was a very unique and cool feature. Very friendly members. Great signage outside to help you find them if it's your first visit!

Fantastic experience: A chose Fox River strength of conditichin because I was tired of going to the gym and having people looking at me questioning me on if I know how to use the machines or not or tell me I'm not doing it the right way from my initial consultation with Nancy I felt very comfortable. She walked me through the steps and what they do and what they are about. I was nervous my 1st class but the coaches are phenomenal they scale stuff down For you and don't try to push you beyond your limits. But push you just enough so you get a great workout

Fantastic experience: Three months in, I'm the fittest I've ever been and the FSRC community has me motivated and engaged! I'm 46 and had never had any regular exercise regimen until starting CrossFit at North Aurora's FSRC. The patient coaches guided me through the basic motions, and trained me into the right habits that keep me from injury while building up my strength. They scale the workouts down to a level I can always do and build from. Even though I'd never lifted a barbell before, now I can. It's fun, challenging and rewarding! Each class begins with a warmup addressing the exact muscles we'll be focusing on during our workout. The workouts are simple movements with time limits that turn hard work into a game. We all sweat through it together, blowing past whatever limits we thought we had, and end with fist bumps and high fives. The community has the perfect blend of kindness, camaraderie and humor. I've been welcomed to the team and feel like I'm part of the club!

Fantastic experience: I’m beyond happy that I found this gym. Everyone is super welcoming and I feel amazing after every workout. If you’re thinking about it I’d say just go for it. You won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: I started individual coaching sessions with Blake about 10 weeks ago. After my hip replacement my affected leg was weaker than my other leg. I am bicycle training and 50/50 balance is important. I have noticed significant strength improvements due to the training. Also I have significantly less knee pain due to the training. I have been through multiple courses of physical therapy and none were as effective as this training.

Fantastic experience: For someone who has never trained at a CrossFit gym, FRSC has been an awesome place to start and advance further. The coaches do an excellent job of working with you as an individual even In the larger classes. Both the trainers and other athletes are very welcoming as well. 5 stars to trainer Tom

Fantastic experience: Came in as a drop in and everyone was very welcoming! Awesome Gym and awesome coach!

Fantastic experience: Great facility. Friendly culture. Flexible schedule. Been an enjoyable place to workout for over 7 years. What I really enjoy about the experience is the variety of styles incorporated within their programming. You know it will be tough and yet you’re quickly addicted and wanting more because the results are legitimate.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff and facility! All the coaches are very helpful and motivating. Feel much more confident in my fitness journey after working out with this community!

Fantastic experience: This is a great place to get fit! Blake is an awesome trainer and makes my daily workouts fun and I honestly look forward to going everyday. I’ve been doing the hybrid program since I joined and I love it. I wake up every morning checking my app to see what workout Blake loaded in for me that day. I honestly haven’t been this excited to work out everyday in a long time. It’s painful (but fun too) going thru the workouts everyday and I haven’t regretted one day of it since starting 3 months ago! If you are looking for a challenge and a great place to work out with a really strong atmosphere- you need to join this place!

Fantastic experience: I have had an amazing experience as a first time Cross Fit Athlete starting out at FRSC, the coaches are all extremely knowledgeable and make every workout scaled to your specific level in order to avoid getting injured and to progress appropriately. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who is looking to get into a Cross Fit program!

Fantastic experience: Very clean and and very sanitized very safe here. Met the owners on my last visit they were wearing mask as were all other employees. Thank you Kari for being a very professional business owner.

Positive experience: A very good little hidden gem in North Aurora, Fox River Strength and Conditioning is a wonderful place to work out, get healthy and feel better about yourself. Alll that, with a super supportive staff who truly care about you physically and mentally. You will get a tailored work out and see results!

Fantastic experience: FRSC has been an instrumental part of my journey towards a happier and healthier lifestyle. Since re-joining in the fall of 2019, I have felt that the leadership team at FRSC has truly been invested in my success and Blake has worked tirelessly with me to develop programming that was specific to my abilities at the onset and has continued to evolve. I was initially intimidated by the idea of CrossFit but have always felt welcomed and supported by the coaches and other members. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Been coming here with my wife for about 2 years now and have really loved being a part of the gym. Great coaches and really great members to work out with. Clean and safe environment to hit your fitness goals and have fun while doing it. Workouts posted in the app ahead of time, really easy to reserve a spot and a lot of classes to suit your schedule. I've made a lot of personal progress since coming here and can't say enough good things. Try it out for yourself!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches who really take the time to understand your needs and work with you to achieve your goals.

Fantastic experience: Great people! Blake is an awesome Personal Trainer, one-on-one. He makes work-outs fun and mixes things up. He will work with you, where you’re at, assessing flexibility and strength. FVSC has a great philosophy, using modified exercises to safely get you to your goals while reducing your risk of injury. Love it!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff as well as good guidance. Focused on a clean environment and personal safety while working out.

Fantastic experience: Nice community of people. Quality coaches. Clean and nice equipment and space.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding team, members, and owners ! Great experience !

Fantastic experience: FRSC is taking the right precautions to make everybody feel safe here. They take everybody's temp before class, everybody has their own area to workout in (more than 6ft from others), and their own equipment to use for the class. They also have cleaner available at every station to wipe down all the equipment that was used before leaving. The coaches here are very knowledgeable in the sport and they push you to be the best version of yourself. The workouts are great, the people are great, and you always leave feeling great! Love it here.

Fantastic experience: Having been involved in weight training and fitness for close to thirty years now, CrossFit is a welcome challenge. The powerlifting and gymnastic movements are new to me and I’ve benefited from technique sessions with Blake to improve my form on the snatch and power clean. Fox River Strength and Conditioning has been a great gym and a supportive community. Enjoying every minute!

Fantastic experience: The ownership and staff are great at communcation and are meaningful in their committment to creating a community feeling among the members. The coaches really work hard to tailor instruction to individual needs and have set up an environment where you really want to take on their challenges.

Fantastic experience: Great staff and group class for kids!! We love FRS&C!!

Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough about this gym or (box) I was a type 2 diabetic my blood sugar was over 400 I was always tired had little mobility and my doctor said that if I didn’t do something I’d be in real trouble and that I was for all intensive purposes in trouble already . I had always just gone to a conventional gym and kind of did my own thing with little to no results, so I looked around and found FRSC and thought I would give CrossFit a try. I have to say first of all they are a community and every coach and member that I met we’re super supportive and always there to help me everyone there wants you to succeed. I started training with Zack he really knows his stuff and was patient with someone who had never done anything like that before, he taught me form, posture, correct movements and flexibility, all of which I’m still learning, I gained stamina and strength along with more energy and really started to feel good again. Now that I have been with them for a few months with a lot of work I feel much better my blood sugar is under 100, I’m eating better and have a new lease on life. I owe it all to FRSC and would encourage anyone who is looking to get fit, get better, or just do more to give them a try you won’t be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Love the staff, workouts, and other members! Been a member for 3 months and it’s helped me be a better athlete

Fantastic experience: Great coaching! Great community! FRSC is the perfect gym for everybody!

Fantastic experience: Love this place, from the moment I started I was welcomed with open arms and people ready to help, I've met great people and made lifelong friendships

Fantastic experience: Nancy and Doug truly are passionate about what they do. Their business is unlike any others in the area the coaches are TOP NOTCH!!! If you have ever considered starting or even trying CrossFit... check this place out first.

Fantastic experience: I’m in the best shape of my life and I’ve made lifelong friends. This gym is for everyone regardless of fitness level. It’s a great place to start or continue your fitness journey.

Fantastic experience: A great place to get in shape!

Fantastic experience: Started going here in December of 2017. Friendly people and staff keep me enjoying it but the challenging workouts and competition are what keep me coming back!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Fox River Strength and Conditioning for about a year. The coaches are terrific and each class helps you become a better version of yourself. I have enjoyed the community tremendously and have had the opportunity to really have fun with some awesome people. I highly recommend this gym to anyone trying to break into the CrossFit scene and really hoping to live a healthier lifestyle. It has been a great journey so far!

Fantastic experience: An awesome gym. I started crossfit 2 years ago with a year break in between of stopping due to moving. I started going to FRSC 3 months ago and have been breaking and setting amazing personal records. All of the coaches are really helpful and offer good tips and insight to helping me maximize my lifts.

Negative experience: Love the community met great people . Bridget and Gary are great coaches! Stopped going due to it not being traditional CrossFit anymore, no longer suits my needs as an athlete.

Fantastic experience: A great place for an amazing workout. The workouts are programmed in advance and can be modified for any skill level. The folks are friendly and motivational. The gym itself is well kept and has all the necessary equipment. Highly recommend if you are looking for a crossfit box!

Fantastic experience: Excellent gym and coaching staff. I love getting to know the community; it’s helpful motivation to always show up and push hard. The coaching staff does a great job of improving form and helping folks be the strongest and most fit as possible. I feel more fit every week!

Fantastic experience: Great workout facility. Will help you at whatever level you are currently at (everything is scalable). However, very intense and even challenging for those that have a lot of crossfit experience.

Fantastic experience: Great community and great coaching staff! If your looking to get in shape or a fun place to work out this is the place!

Fantastic experience: Looking to get in shape? Have you tried 20x before? When you went to the gym, did you mostly wander around? This box could be a great fit for you. Group workout = good peer influence to push you (if they can do it, so can I); Coached workout = no more coming up with plans on your own; Programmed workout = variety, intentionality; Friends = accountability & fun. I tried other gyms off and on (mostly off) for 20 years with little lasting success. I started CrossFit at this box 12 years ago - and am still here 4-5 days most weeks. It stuck. Try it.

Fantastic experience: Great place to workout! Mark is a great coach and the community is outstanding! I feel like im at my second home when i am there.
