O'Hare CrossFit^®

Fantastic experience: My first time doing CrossFit my instructor Susie was fantastic. Gave me an excellent work out. The pace was maintained. She gave me modifiers to help me. It is a great gym for experienced crossfitters as well as for beginners that watched too much physical 100 and got ambitious. I can definitely see myself coming back. Health is wealth invest in it.

Fantastic experience: I am a member of this gym and I love it! Last week I brought a group of leaders from out of state for a corporate team building class and Susie did an amazing job customizing the class for us at each of our levels of fitness. She made it fun for us, explained the workouts and made sure we all used the correct form. I love how Susie cares so much about teaching correct form to not get injured. My leadership team loved the class, we had fun and worked in pairs building trust! Highly recommend for personal and private corporate team building sessions.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. I kind of want to keep it as a hidden gem; but it's made me a better person and I hope it does the same for others. The coaches are always willing to help. I started 6 months ago and the results are amazing. I am healthier - physically and mentally - which has made me a better father. I like the variety of members and how the classes are structured in a way where you yourself are your only competition, not the other people.

Negative experience: My experience with Ohare Crossfit was bittersweet. I stumbled across this place on Facebook. I had always wanted to try it. As soon as I tried it, I fell in love with the concept. Although the experience wasnt 100% the best, I was lucky to have met some very kind hearted people and trainers!(Lupe was amazing, caring and very knowledgeable, so was the other lady trainer) The location itself was super convenient for me and it's decent. Unfortunately, I just could never connect with Susie(owner and trainer) There were times I was yelled at, felt down, put on the spot and very disrespected by her. I never truly felt comfortable asking her questions. I felt as if I was annoying to her. I genuinely believe she may have just disliked me as a person. I did however speak to her and she did apologize. I thought it would be better after that. Unfortunately after that, I felt a sense of discomfort from her towards me and avoidance. I felt so much discomfort myself. There were times I wondered if being treated like that was part of the process! I felt as if it was wrong if I said something about the way I felt. There were days I would come home feeling super depressed and nervous to go back. A few times I cried and my husband comforted me saying I should speak up. I am writing this review based on my own experience. I know everyone's experience is different. I really wish things hadn't been this way. Nobody should ever have to feel this way in a place where you are seeking to be a better version of yourself. This should be a safe place where you can find encouragement.

Positive experience: Good

Fantastic experience: Did the Squats & mimosas class for the first time this morning & it was great! Pumping vibes & great atmosphere! To top it off, I was going to have to bring my daughter in with me last minute (ended up finding a babysitter though,) but I reached out to the owner Susie at 10pm last night to check if I could bring her with and she reached out right away and said I could take her in! That was so convenient & awesome of her! Thank you so much! I will definitely be back.

Fantastic experience: Came in for a last minute WOD while in town for work and these guys where great! Super friendly crowd, skilled coaches, and strong athletes. Great box!

Fantastic experience: Great coaching staff with amazingly friendly vibe. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Was going here for years til a recent medical issue...place is great. Been to a couple crossfit clubs and hands down this one tops em. Great enviorment to be in while working out. Everyone is kind and motivating. The way the owner Angelo has the classes set up in different fitness levels to help fit each persons current fitness level and goal makes it easy for anyone to jump on in. They are doing it right over here and I will be back soon!!!

Fantastic experience: This is the place that defines great, real crossfit. Angelo and Becca are the other coaches hold the members and guests to a very high standard for effort and excellence.

Fantastic experience: it was awesome

Fantastic experience: Ladies and gents...it's been about 3 months and I can say with certainty (if that's how u spell it) that this is the gym to go to if u want that change. It's so much more one on one. A friendly environment for all ages and def female friendly. These instructors exude confidence and the workouts have you adjusting and push u to want to do better. I'm lazy, but because how friendly they are it gave me the push I needed. I don't know about yall but these workouts have me feeling like a new person but the environment just transforms you. It isn't like a big ol xsport but it's definitely amazing. Susie and Lupe are honestly super approachable and relatable. I really love it here. That's my review at least.

Fantastic experience: Muy bien atendidos por Susie en nuestro drop in cuando estuvimos en Chicago. El wod fue perfectamente dirigido des de la explicación inicial, siguiendo con el calentamiento, parte principal de fuerza y el wod final. Susie estuvo atenta en todo momento a sus atletas dándoles correcciones para que mejoren su performance. Sin duda lo recomendamos 100%!!!

Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff! The owner made us feel right at home when we dropped in for the day while in town. Loads of equipment!

Fantastic experience: An amazing local gym! They provide a great workout in a short period of time. The trainers really care about the attendees' improvement and offer advice on technique and modifications. Overall just a great place to belong.

Negative experience: sent request from website for pricing options while ago,never returned with answer.assuming they use this method to sort out unwanted people or too lazy/busy to respond

Fantastic experience: The coach was amazing, friendly and helpful!! The gym itself was very easy to navigate and had all the equipment I need for one awesome workout. Definitely will be back always!!

Fantastic experience: From motivating for progress to finding individual modifications for difficult exercises, it's clear the trainers at O'Hare CrossFit only care about every person's long-term success. 10/10 recommend!

Fantastic experience: They made my gym experience amazing. They were very professional which I loved. This is my home gym which I love going to

Fantastic experience: Great place to train while I was in town for a few days: well equipped, clean, not too busy and had a good vibe. Would 100% come back again if I visit this part of town in the future!

Fantastic experience: Love this place and the staff! It's a one stop shop! Awesome equipment and great classes. My home away from home.

Fantastic experience: Motivating coaches, fun and friendly environment and challenging workouts!

Fantastic experience: The coaches are very knowledgeable and experienced. They really push you and motivate you through the workouts. They make it fun and leave you looking forward to your next class. Everything in the gym is very clean and organized and signing up for classes couldn’t be easier

Fantastic experience: Since O’Hare Crossfit (OCF) has had a change in management, I felt compelled to leave a review. I have been a personal training client at OCF for four years. This gym is truly a hidden gem. Emphasis on hidden because the outside is so unassuming! Inside you’ll find a welcoming, clean environment filled with an abundance of equipment. I have toured many Crossfit gyms in River North that didn’t come close to the amount of equipment packed into this place. From assault bikes, SkiErgs, and rowers to sandbags, maces, and tires--this place truly has it all. Equipment aside, at OCF you will find a community of hard working and encouraging people and trainers who want to see you succeed. If you’re like me when I first started (unathletic, shy, new to a gym environment) you’ll be comforted to know the trainers at OCF are incredibly welcoming and ready to meet you where you’re at. I have nothing but faith in the new management. Four years ago they transformed me, so I can’t wait to see them take OCF to the next level! I came to dip my toe into the fitness world, but ultimately stayed for the creative workouts, pumping music, and abundance of compassion that you’ll find at O’Hare Crossfit.

Fantastic experience: Awesome workout love the coaches definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Very clean and friendly gym. I enjoy my time there every single time I go I love it

Fantastic experience: Very nice place and people

Fantastic experience: Great place to come and work out

Fantastic experience: I’ve been to O’Hare CrossFit and I can say from my own personal experience that this is a very unique and singular experience. Part gym. Part health club. But easily exceeding both. The staff is expertly trained and totally dedicated to YOUR goals. They highly customize your particular workout routine to match who You Are. They also really “hang in there” with you giving constant encouragement and inspiration. If you bring your “A” game you WILL achieve your goals. And it’s perfectly OK to just drop in and have a look around, speak one-on-one with the Trainers, and see for yourself that the “vibe” is one of Success on all levels. One more item I must add. The sound system. OMG! Just the right volume to kick your butt matched with THE COOLEST tunes I’ve ever heard in a workout environment. All in all worth the short trip to check it out. You won’t be sorry. 5 Gold Stars!

Fantastic experience: If you really want to have a really good work out this is the place you will love it.

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming and knowledgeable. O'Hare CrossFit knows how to effectively and enjoyably run a CrossFit class. I showed up late, after traveling around Chicago for two hours to three other gyms that all turned out to all be closed (even though their hours showed they were open), and they welcomed me with open arms. The community was super friendly and even invited me out to a gym gathering later that night. The coaches were very knowledgeable and well spoken as they educated class members with beginner and advanced cues. If you are in the area I would make your way to O'Hare CrossFit. You will be in good hands!

Fantastic experience: Dropped into O'Hare CrossFit this week for the first time. The drop in process was easy and the staff was awesome. The people in the 5:15 am class were also great. I will definitely drop in there any chance I get.

Fantastic experience: Love the tough workouts

Fantastic experience: Dropped in this morning it was a great experience. Great trainer, good group to workout with, and good scaling for diffrent abilities. I can't recommend this box enough.

Fantastic experience: If you want to change your life this is the place to get the best version of you. The coaches and the athletes are awesome best place to get in shape.

Fantastic experience: Great coaches!

Fantastic experience: I was scared to try cross fit ,but I'm so glad I did and especially at O'Hare CrossFit. Coaches are very attentive. All of them push you to get better and stronger every single day. Go and give them a try . You won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I travel for work and have dropped into 50+ CrossFit gyms. I am also a Level 3 CrossFit trainer. I say these things because I want you to know that I've had a lot of varying experiences at boxes and most are just average. Only a handful like OHCF are great. I don't say that lightly. What's the difference between great boxes and just average? It's not the equipment or the amount of space - it's the care that the owner and coaches put into the place and the people. Walking in, you will immediately tell that this community of strangers cares for you like your closest friends and family. Coach Becca was very knowledgeable, went over the movements, and coached the class the way people should be coached. Angelo is one of, if not the most caring owner I've met. He has grown OHCF to a place that will be your second home. The members themselves say Hi and not intimidating at all. You won't regret dropping in and seeing what they're all about.
