Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a CrossFit gym that combines an incredible sense of community with top-notch coaching, look no further! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported by both the coaches and members. The camaraderie here is unmatched—everyone genuinely roots for each other, no matter your fitness level or experience. The coaching staff is phenomenal. They prioritize safety, proper technique, and personal growth while making every workout challenging and fun. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting your fitness journey, they meet you where you are and help you exceed your goals. Another standout feature is the flexible schedule. With a variety of class times available, it's easy to fit a workout into even the busiest day. This has been a game-changer for me, allowing consistency no matter what my week looks like. I can’t recommend this gym enough! It’s not just a place to work out—it’s a supportive, inspiring community that helps you push past limits while forming meaningful connections.

Daniel Edwards 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: I've been to many CF gyms. I've really enjoyed IF. Coaches are knowledgable and supportive but also not the competitive intimidating vibe I've experienced at many other CF gyms. Kelly is super organized, creative, and thoughtful when running the gym. Something you don't see as much with CF gym owners. Great experience and no pressure being a new member. Check it out without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: I decided it was time to get back in shape and improve my metabolic health. I tried lifting weights and doing cardio on my own at a local gym but that was not producing results. I knew I needed a more defined workout. After doing some research on the benefits of crossfit training I began my journey at Iron Flag 5 months ago. The instructors and fellow participants are amazing. This environment is so positive that you won't want to miss a class. We all encourage each other, from beginners to the most experienced individuals. There is no minimum fitness level to begin, and you'll be able to progress through each level at your own pace without judgement. My own overall fitness level has significantly improved, but I still have work to do. With the support system here at Iron Flag, I feel my goals will ultimately be reached. I encourage you to try a free class, you never know where it takes you. We all have to start somewhere, right Rich G

Iron Flag Fitness (Home of Crossfit Iron Flag)

Thank you so much for helping to make us the best gym in Westmont, Rich!! You have truly put in the work and your commitment and drive to be the best version of yourself is a motivation to us all. Can’t wait to continue to watch your fitness journey unfold.

Fantastic experience: I haven't worked out here - but my 10 year old son attended a birthday party at Iron Flag over the weekend and had a great time. The group of kids was sizable, I believe it was 26 kids - so it is definitely spacious. From what I saw the facilities looked clean and well kept.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been at Iron Flag for a month now and absolutely love it! Iron Flag works with athletes of all ages and experience and really make you feel welcome. The coaches are motivated, technique driven and personable. They coach you, but also get to know you. The gym atmosphere is very family friendly, allowing me to bring my 10 month year old daughter weekly. Kelly & Jared do a phenomenal job of posting workouts a week in advance, hosting social events along with multiple camps/training for kids of all age levels. Within a month, I’ve gained back a lot of my CrossFit form, strength and drive. Love this gym, look forward to the next workout and meeting other members!

Nancy Garver 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: After being told by our pediatrician our son needed more physical work outs to help focus in school, we enrolled him at Iron Flag. He loves it! In one hour he comes back ready to get homework done and a much calmer, organized self. It helps clear his head and refocus after school. If he had a big test or assignment, we ensured he was scheduled at Iron Flag and the academic results have been stellar. Plus Coach Jared, Coach Seth and Coach Kelly are great! Highly recommend.

Nancy, thank you so much for the kind review! We love both seeing Grant's progress in his performance and even more important hearing about it in school. Truly amazing!

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym. I’ve been a member at several gyms over the years and IFF is leaps and bounds better than all the rest. I really like their programming and the use of the "level method”. It has allowed me to customize the workout to my abilities and grow from where I'm at. The members are down to earth and the community is supportive and welcoming. Also, the coaching staff is committed and super professional. 10/10 highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for an action-packed 5am fitness crew, Iron Flag Fitness has you covered! My partner and I relocated from Orlando, FL to Westmont, IL last month and became members with Iron Flag Fitness the day after - no shopping around needed. The coaches are approachable and not afraid to tweak your form in efforts to help you remain healthy and safe while executing movements. Already, my fitness family is my social center. Iron Flag Fitness hosted several events within the last few week for members to fellowship which is outstanding! I thoroughly enjoy the constant follow-up from the management team and excited to align myself with the vision of Iron Flag Fitness!

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. It’s the people first and foremost that make it so great from the owners to the coaches to the way they work so hard to make the gym great to be part of as an athlete, no matter you age! The coaches are really helpful and knowledgeable about CrossFit technique which is necessary to grow in skill and strength. I have met a lot of really cool people/athletes here and everyone supports one another. Even though this is my first CrossFit gym I wouldn’t go anywhere else. This place hums. My husband literally dragged me here 16 months ago and now I am SO glad that he did. I feel better in my own body more than I ever have and I’ve been active my entire life!

Fantastic experience: In January I joined Iron Flag Fitness Bod Squad Nutrition Challenge. It was an incredible experience. They were so knowledgeable, welcoming and always available. I learned so much from this challenge. I always wanted to meal prep on the weekends but didn’t know where to start, doing this challenge has made me a meal prep warrior. I also learned how to eat well balanced meals while losing weight. We also had weekly seminars to learn about our eating habits.

Eric Stacy 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I spent years working out on my own, lifting, cardio, doing my own routines. Most of what I learned, I learned in high school weight rooms 20 years ago. I picked up things here and there as I went along. But despite my time in the gym, I never really felt like I was moving the needle. I was bulking up, but was I getting stronger? Leaner? Fitter? As I got older, I was injuring myself more and more, setting myself back. So I decided to try something new. I was hesitant about crossfit. I'm by no means an "athlete." But the entire staff was super helpful and patient. Helping me modify where I needed to, teaching proper form and technique to avoid injury. The people in the classes are super supportive. I've seen material improvements in my overall strength, flexibility and cardio. I've since enrolled both my sons in the sports performance training and they are seeing gains as well. When my 12yo started, he couldn't do a single 20" inch box jump. The other day, I was watching him rep 24" jumps with ease. He loves it. Thanks iron flag.

Eric thank you so much for the kind words. We have loved working with you and the boys and watching your journey unfold. The progress has been amazing!

If you're looking for a new fitness experience, this I'd the place.

Anne Gadon Rodriguez 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Iron Flag for several months and I have learned to love coming to the gym. This is no small feat, since I am 61 years old, and I can honestly say I have never felt that before. I belonged to a different gym that closed late summer and I was looking for a place that would push me. I didn't even know what Crossfit was. But co-owner, Kelly, really impressed me with her intelligent questions about my health history, and Ioved how many women coaches there were at the gym, and felt the place had a great, down to earth vibe. I now attend weekday at 6:30 a.m. classes religiously and usually go to a class on the weekends. They will scale to your level and encourage you at the same time. I also thought I ate well (no flour, no sugar, and no alcohol), but I am working with co-owner Jared on my nutrition and upping my energy level and mental clarity. I appreciate the inspiration of those around me who can lift hundreds of lbs and do muscle ups, while I am working my training bar. Hey, it takes a village! My doctor is thrilled and I have gained several lbs of muscle in a few months! Check this place out. You will be glad you did!

G Orput 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I joined IFF a little over two years ago and have enjoyed being a part of the gym immensely. I was introduced to CF & Iron Flag by friend who sold me on the concept of a rigorous workout in under an hour. Skeptical I gave it a try and have loved it. I had worked out at typical gyms but iFF is a whole new experience. Awkward at first but the coaching is excellent and meets your ability at any level. It is a great facility and well located with easy parking. In an hour ten I’m in and done. I like the camaraderie as well but for me it’s all about being physically/mentally challenged and then getting onto the rest of my day. I feel 100% better physically/mentally and am in the best shape I’ve been in in the last 30 years.

All the coaches are wonderful and a special shout out to Guy, my coach, who truly is available for me any time I need and for the fabulous nutrition and mindset talks he gives on Facebook. Also, Thank you Bridget for your support on Sunday classes. I was told I would never run again after my knee injury and I run now, I could never do pull-ups and I am doing them continuing to progress. I am so happy with the progress I have made with sustainability in nutrition and mindset for well-being and joy!. Our Iron Flag community is amazing come join us! Thank you to all!

Fantastic experience: I decided to sign up for a 6 week challenge at Iron Flag that was influenced by Jared and some wine during a fundraiser… BEST DECISION EVER!!! Since it has been YEARS (About 6-8 years ago) since I have done CrossFit… I did want to say that JARED is AMAZING! Jared takes the time to teach you, he takes the time to help fix your form and to do the correct technique, which is crucial The attention being given to newbies and helping me to refresh a lot of what I forgot is awesome and truly makes me feel that I am getting exactly what I need in my workout and training! I am EXTREMELY impressed and happy that I signed up to do this! And just from experience the first week and the second week is usually the hardest, but a lot of it is mental too! Jared has been such a great coach and trainer, I feel safe during my training and feel that I am getting stronger (mentally and physically) during and after each session! ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Iron Flag for several months and I have learned to love coming to the gym. This is no small feat, since I am 61 years old, and I can honestly say I have never felt that before. I belonged to a different gym that closed late summer and I was looking for a place that would push me. I didn't even know what Crossfit was. But co-owner, Kelly, really impressed me with her intelligent questions about my health history, and Ioved how many women coaches there were at the gym, and felt the place had a great, down to earth vibe. I now attend weekday at 6:30 a.m. classes religiously and usually go to a class on the weekends. They will scale to your level and encourage you at the same time. I also thought I ate well (no flour, no sugar, and no alcohol), but I am working with co-owner Jared on my nutrition and upping my energy level and mental clarity. I appreciate the inspiration of those around me who can lift hundreds of lbs and do muscle ups, while I am working my training bar. Hey, it takes a village! My doctor is thrilled and I have gained several lbs of muscle in a few months! Check this place out. You will be glad you did!

Anne! We love having you here at Iron Flag, and are so happy that you've made the commitment to yourself to grow stronger and more confident in your abilities!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of pretty much every gym around. Everything from park district gyms to YMCA to fancy gyms to the large chains. Iron Flag Fitness has been the best by far. The coaches are the best I’ve had. The classes are the best I’ve done. The community is the best. And my results have been the best. My wife tried for two years to get me to join and she finally convinced me. I don’t know what took so long. I was new to CrossFit and the workouts were challenging at first. But with the training programs Iron Flag provides and the great coaching and classes, my progress has been great. I’ve added more strength and improved my overall health more in the 15 months I’ve been here than anytime I can remember. The coaches are always willing to help you get better and so are most of the other members. It’s really a great community and working out at Iron Flag has become a big part of who I am now. Thanks Kelly and Jared for all you do.

Fantastic experience: Great family-owned gym for anyone in the southwest suburbs. The owners put a lot of work into building a positive environment for members. Appreciated the intro sessions to help me get back into CrossFit and provide feedback on form so I felt comfortable getting started. The coaches are the best around!!! They are encouraging and motivating, and still push you to your limits in the best ways! Very grateful for the support they provide in and out of the gym. If you’re looking for a gym where you can get a kick workout and join a new fit family, iron flag is a perfect fit.

Fantastic experience: I recently completed the 6 week challenge and had HUGE success, thanks to Kelly! I was postpartum, needed some serious help, and had no idea how to begin. Kelly helped me every step of the way. You can tell she is very knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. Not only did the program help me feel and look better, but it gave me the skills I needed to continue a healthier life past the 6 weeks. Hands down, the best gym around!!

Kaleena, watching your journey over our challenge was simply amazing! Thanks so much for trusting us to be your coaches!

Fantastic experience: This gym has everything a person wants in a CrossFit gym. The owners, Kelly and Jared, are not only super knowledgeable about the techniques of CrossFit lifts but are also personable and really make an effort to push you beyond your comfort zone. The members are very supportive and the fitness levels vary from competitive to novice(so all are welcome). They send monthly announcements out to welcome new members and also host events in the gym. I am not a newbie to CrossFit and have been to other gyms, and I have to say this gym represents what CrossFit should be: workouts that leave you dying on the floor but yet you get up and keep coming back because the people are genuine and supportive.

Helen thank you so much for your insight! We have loved getting to know you and so happy you have found a fitness home with us!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! I started about a year ago needing a change in how I worked out. I was nervous starting out as I’ve never done a group fitness style class before. The coaches have been amazing since day one in helping those like me feel confident in the technical movements we are doing in each class. The community and support they’ve managed to build is amazing!

After meeting all of the coaches at Iron Flag, going through my elements class with them, I can truly say that every single one of them have a heart of gold. I love going to the gym now. I love pushing myself to be the best I can be. And it’s all thanks to these amazing people at Iron Flag. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: What an amazing community! My wife and I moved to the area this summer and figured we’d just join a traditional gym that we were used to. Thankfully we decided to give Iron Flag a try. We were immediately hooked on CrossFit. The environment is fun, motivating and the coaches are all amazing. Seriously, every single coach is a total pro and they are great about helping you through every workout and making sure you have good form. We’ll be members for as long as we live in town!!

Jared has done an amazing job with them in regards to strength training, agility work and endurance training! Best part of it all - he teaches the boys to be disciplined in what they do. This will not only help them on the Baseball Field, but it will help them in life! Thanks Jared for all you do each and every day!
