Absolution CrossFit^®, Functional Fitness & Strength Academy

Fantastic experience: Hector’s coaching was great, and he went through the techniques and motions really well. I did the 5am WOD and Hector and the crew made me feel right at home, and the music definitely kept me going while the WOD kicked my butt.

Fantastic experience: Hector and John are great coaches, they always encouraged you give it your all. The space is very nice, well kept, and the equipment is very good shape. Good music and over all atmosphere. I really enjoyed being a member.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Absolution CrossFit! Hector, the coach, is fantastic at creating challenging workout plans that are tailored to individual needs. He takes the time to demonstrate modifications for all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can participate and progress at their own pace. One of the best aspects of Absolution CrossFit is the non-judgmental atmosphere. The coaches and participants are incredibly supportive and encouraging. There is a strong sense of camaraderie, and everyone is there to help each other succeed. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced athlete, Absolution CrossFit is the perfect place to improve your fitness and reach your goals. I have seen tremendous progress in my own strength and endurance since joining, and I attribute that to the exceptional coaching and positive community at Absolution CrossFit.

Fantastic experience: I visit this gym when I am visiting family. Great programming, staff and facility. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was a member of this gym for a little over a year and did personal training sessions with Hector. Working out with Hector was the highlight of my week! He kept me on track and I achieved my initial fitness goals of losing weight and building muscle, but I also gained enough knowledge to carry on a fitness routine on my own. The only reason I stopped going was because I moved out of state. The personal training sessions were well worth the money, and less expensive then other personal trainings offered at other gyms, where I don't think I would have gotten the value that I did at ACF. It's hard to find a personal trainer without a recommendation from a friend. Consider this post a recommendation from a friend! Hector is welcoming, extremely knowledgable, accommodating, flexible and, most importantly, he will help you achieve your goals. Five Stars! I'll be back when I'm in town for the holidays and any other chance I get!

Fantastic experience: Coach Hector truly cares about his clients and helping them achieve their fitness goals. He's worked with people of all types of athletic backgrounds, as well as those who are just getting started with their fitness journey. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Hector is an amazing trainer and person! No matter where you are at in your CrossFit or fitness journey he makes you feel welcomed and supported. I highly recommend this place, you won’t regret it.

Fantastic experience: ACF is more than just a place to workout. Hector and team have created a community of people that care about each other and welcome new folks to join us in the journey of health and wellness. I find the programming to be challenging yet scalable (for those days when you just aren't "feeling it"). ACF is a place where judgement has been replaced with encouragement and support.

Fantastic experience: Absolution CrossFit is an OG CrossFit gym and this is due in part to Hector, the owner, and the culture he promotes at the gym! I've done several drop ins and I am SUPER grateful that Hector has worked with my odd schedule! Hector is extremely dedicated to the gym community. He is an incredible coach, person and athlete. Gym has everything you need and worth the price. Programming is well balanced and well rounded. If you are looking for a great gym in the area to commit to look no further.

Fantastic experience: I walked in intimidated as heck and felt welcomed by everyone immediately on Day 1! The coaches are there to meet you where you're at and help you level up. It's amazed me how quick I've seen progress. Come join us!

Fantastic experience: Absolution Cross Fit was the missing piece to my overall health routine. I’m on my own journey to shift my lifestyle to align with my goal of lifelong well being. I *love* coming to this gym. I’m excited to go, always stunned at how much I accomplish while there and happy when I leave. I’m new to CFit. Never once have I felt pressured to do something too much or too soon. Hector is kind and knowledgeable. He fosters an inclusive community for those of all fitness levels. Highly recommend if strength training and conditioning is needed in your regular routine and you want to be in environment that is motivating to push through your perceived limits.

Fantastic experience: I started as a beginner at Absolution 8 months ago and the community and coaching has been extremely welcoming since day 1! I’ve enjoyed watching my fitness and technique improve. Absolution CrossFit is the perfect place to begin or continue your CrossFit journey.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! The perfect place to improve your overall fitness, whether you are experienced or a beginner at CrossFit. Coaches are very knowledgeable and friendly - a great community!

Fantastic experience: Great classes and the owner is also a coach there. Very informative, very knowledgeable, and responds to want questions pretty quickly. Facilities are practically spotless and there's plenty of spacing if your have concerns about covid. All in all its an excellent workout experience. I'll continue training there as long as I live in the area...

Fantastic experience: Great trainers, good programming and friendly people. I recommend this gym for everyone regardless of your current fitness level. You go in, put in the work, SWEAT and go home feeling great. Thank you coach Hector for caring about the community.

Fantastic experience: Absolution is my go to for drop in sessions when I’m in the Chicago area! Super welcoming coaches and great programming!

Fantastic experience: Great staff. Great schedule times

Negative experience: Non existent, I drove for way too long trying to find a place that isn't even real

Fantastic experience: Great work out. I stayed with the program and lost 25 pounds in 4 months. Staff is very friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Absolution CrossFit deserves more than 5 stars! The immense knowledge that Hector shares regarding fitness, functional movements, nutrition, and other health tidbits are useful to cleaner living. The daily prescribed workouts are tailored to meet individualized abilities with a growth mindset mentality. I really enjoy coming to this spot and I feel better than I have in a long time.

Fantastic experience: A friend connected me with Absolution Crossfit. They have two main coaches, Brad and Hector; they are incredible coaches and people. They're both very knowledgeable and are always making the environment a fun place to grow and help you achieve your personal goals. There isn't a piece of equipment they don't have. I'd definitely recommend a friend to check them out!

Fantastic experience: The two main coaches, Brad and Hector, are beyond great! They truly care about the people that walk into their gym. Can't perform a workout RX? Need to modify a certain movement? No problem, they help in any way they can to be sure you are getting the most out of your work outs, performing movements proficiently and safely, and inform you on what you should be doing outside of the gym to enhance your health and lifestyle. Hands down, best gym I will ever join!

Fantastic experience: This is the only option you need for functional strength training. The coaches here are down to earth and very professional. They pay close attention to detail with helping any level athlete safely achieve their goals. They have a fundamentals program for people who are new to Crossfit, which eases you in so there is no reason to feel hesitant towards getting started!

Fantastic experience: True to CrossFit philosophy: virtuosity. Technique before intensity. Seeking real functional fitness!

Fantastic experience: I came from another Crossfit gym in the area. I thought it was normal to feel sore or be in pain. That is not the case! I have yet to have I wear my knee braces here. They are all great coaches. A true passion for what they do. There is the knowledge base to back up what they do and are a huge support to your personal goals. I think everyone could benefit from coming here. From the Crossfit junkie to the mom looking to improve her health.

Fantastic experience: Quite literally, the only downside of this place is its proximity to my house. Knowledgeable trainers and friendly patrons help you stay motivated. It's got a real community atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: I've been to another box in the area and had an unpleasant experience. So I was a bit hesitant about trying out another one. However, after going to Absolution Cross Fit and meeting the team, this is by far the best box in the area! The owners Brad and Hector are awesome! They (along with Coaches Kara and Q) are very knowledgeable, friendly and very attentive! They make the daily WOD’s fun! I mean, is that even possible?? haha ACF has also been very helpful with any questions I had regarding my diet. They are not afraid to go that extra mile to help you reach your fitness goal(s). Great community, team and facility. I would definitely recommend checking ACF if you are in the area. Oh! Saturday Team Crossfit WOD’s are FUN!!
