Chicago Elite Fitness

Fantastic experience: I came in for a first class to check it out and I really think I found what I'm seeking. As a runner whom is trying to bounce back from a summer injury, I like that the cardio is still present but not dominant in the sessions. Great atmosphere, not just from coaches ..from the people attending too. And this is a great, welcoming factor.

Fantastic experience: I have yet to actually go to this gym. But, I can say... their Operations Representative - Grazi, is so helpful. Grazi is knowledgeable, informative and responsive to phone calls and txts. FOR ME, one of my main debates of joining gym is the distance from my home. For those familiar with Chicago winter's, it can be a chore to want to leave the house for even a short commute.

Fantastic experience: The team at Bucktown are some of my favorite coaches in the game.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in and Andrew and Megan couldn’t have been more accommodating to us for the 2022 Quarterfinals. Thanks for having us!

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for a week. All the coaches were great. Members go out of their way to make you feel welcome (looking at you John ????). Thanks for having us.

Fantastic experience: I love the staff at anytime fitness! They are very helpful. When I have questions they answer promptly, professionally, and honestly. The fitness coaches are knowledgeable and work with you to design customized fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: This gym is awesome! I did the 6 week challenge and they give you everything you need to succeed. Of course, ultimately it's up to you to put in the work. I have had the hardest workouts of my life in this gym. Crossfit can be intimidating but they are always helping you with your form. They break down the exercises into a series of 4 or 5 steps to ensure that you have proper form. During the workout, they blast music and it just makes you push that much harder. I was usually one of the last ones to finish the workout and everyone would encourage me to finish strong. The environment at Bucktown Crossfit is great!

Fantastic experience: Do the 6 Week Transformation Program. Do it! Commit to it 100% and the result will speak for itself. Get in there and sign up now! I was always reluctant about CrossFit. Even after I was talked into going in to my first class I was hesitant. I am happy to say I could not have been more wrong! Bucktown CrossFit is amazing. The facility is great, the staff is awesome and the other members are so friendly. I immediately started up in their 6 week Challenge. I have been an active person my whole life, but this program took me to a whole other level. They sat me down and asked me about my goals, provided me with a diet plan specific to my goal and then asked me to fully commit to it. It was not hard to commit after seeing incredible results in the first week. My accountability coach Matt followed me through it and regularly encouraged me and congratulated me with each week I made progress. My goal was to lose body fat and I do not exaggerate that fat literally melted right off of me each week. I do not regret a single early morning class because even when you don't think you have it in you, the staff is right there the whole way to give you the advice, technique and confidence to tackle any workout you walk into. Going into the last week of the 6 week challenge I was down to below 10% body fat and had not been this lean since cutting weight for high school wrestling. I am looking forward to each and every challenge presented by Bucktown!

Fantastic experience: I participated in the six week challenge, it's radically changed my body structure and helped me reintegrate healthy habits, like hydration, cooking at home, and sleeping more. The coaches are great motivators and the community is welcoming and supportive. Plus, at least once week I see a dog there. 10/10 would recommend, esp if you're committed to putting in the work.

Fantastic experience: I’m about to finish the 6 week challenge. I definitely recommend it. I followed the meal plan, and I attended 4 fundamental classes a week. The coaches were really encouraging and helpful during the workouts. If you hold yourself accountable, you’ll definitely see results.

Fantastic experience: The first time I walked into BTCF was when they hosted the Rookie Rumble back in April. I walked into a world of CrossFitters & I must say It looked like an overwhelmingly good time! After Rookie Rumble, I decided to like their page on Facebook & soon after I came across their 6 Week Challenge video. I said, what the heck let's give it a shot!! On orientation day I could see the positive energy at this gym & excitement for us newbies to begin our journey. My journey started 6 weeks ago & let me just say I had zero intentions of signing up after the 6 weeks. Reason being is that I am currently under contract with another fitness gym. Also, I commute everywhere & the fact that they have a small parking lot wasn't appealing to me. However, I have now been going 3xs a week & have NEVER had an issue finding parking so that's a plus! The coaches JT, Andrew, Matt, Jackie, Paula are simply amazing!! They really care about how you perform & push you when they see you doubt yourself. I did things these past 6 weeks that I never thought was possible. In essence, It was great to see myself become more motivated as the weeks passed to try different techniques. I am excited & looking forward to continuing my CrossFit journey here at BTCF. Thank you, for welcoming me into the family.

Fantastic experience: This is a great gym with great coaches! I just finished their six week CrossFit challenge. I lost approx 10lbs and 4% body fat. The workouts are all grueling but the trainers find a way to keep you pushing harder than you thought you could. The strict meal plan/no drinking was the most difficult but also the most important part of the challenge. Stick with it and remember almost everyone at this gym has gone through the same thing. Paula my accountability coach was always available to answer any questions I had. Jackie and Frank were the coaches I spent most of my time with, both are AMAZING coaches. They always left me drenched with sweat, out of breath, laughing and feeling accomplished. Thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: I’ve never been very athletic or into fitness but I signed up for the 6 week challenge because I knew I needed something that would kick my butt.. and kick my butt it did! I thought I would be intimidated but I kept with it because the coaches are so supportive and knowledgeable and everyone here is so stoked to be here! It’s infectious. The class sizes are small and you really get personal attention to reach your goals. You learn something new every class and I truly surprised myself every time, and always left feeling so good! I am stronger because of it. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit seems overwhelming to start, but this place makes it easy. Take the six week challenge to start, and stick to it. Follow your meal plan, and actually talk to and listen to your coach and it will change your life. The Six Week Challenge is amazing, but the coaching staff is even better. They are what made me want to stay. They are incredibly supportive, but also expect you to put in the work. They know nobody is perfect, and strive for improvement everyday. Can't wait to continue my journey here.

Fantastic experience: This place has been a wonderful and amazing journey! I never thought I could get results like this in just 6 weeks! Each coach had so much to offer, they were motivational and supportive, and helped me realize my body could do things I never believed it could do. This has been both a physical and psychologically strengthening journey and I absolutely cannot wait to join the gym! Once you go crossfit, nothing else compares ‍♀️

Fantastic experience: These past six weeks working out at Bucktown CrossFit have been nothing but great! The trainers there are awesome: both patient and supportive through the entire process. Not only are the trainers encouraging but so are my fellow classmates and passing gym members. I really like how this program puts you through the fundamentals to teach you the proper forms and techniques when it comes to these new movements before transitioning to full-on CrossFit (great for newbies as CrossFit can be a little intimidating at first). This program provides you with all the tools that you need to succeed: a workout regimen, a nutrition plan and an accountability partner! I’ve learned that my workout style is best in the group format and this is the perfect gym for that. Also, they are dog friendly and it’s nice to have a furry friend around! Would totally recommend to anyone trying to get into CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: I did the 6 week challenge and I definitely saw a lot of change and improvement in my body as well as overall feeling healthier/better. Bucktown Crossfit is super awesome because everyone you meet there is super friendly, supportive and wanting to reach their goals all together. The workouts are amazing as well as all the trainers who know what they’re talking about. Bucktown crossfit really is such a large, amazing community that is so fun and unlike any other gym I have been apart of. Definitely recommend to anyone at absolutely any fitness level!!

Fantastic experience: I participated in their 6-week challenge as I had been in a rut. Most people say CrossFit and you instantly associate it with intimating workouts. I can say without a doubt Bucktown CrossFit broke that word association. The trainers at Bucktown are beyond nice and helpful, but overall knowledgeable. The trainers take their time to make sure you understand the techniques and assist you to improve yourself. On top of having an awesome training team the people you meet here are truly amazing. When you think you can’t you peers motivate you to say “you can”. Bucktown CrossFit is a community of great people, and workouts!

Fantastic experience: Did the initial 6 week challenge and now staying on for a year (or more!). I've always 'worked out' but Bucktown CrossFit has helped me take things to the next level. Not only the actual work outs, but diet, stretching, mobility is all taken care of. The impacts on me have been huge - finally getting the results I've been working on for years and now without the injuries that had previously plagued me. The atmosphere and sense of community is great - nice, knowledgeable staff and all the members encourage and push you.

Fantastic experience: I had zero crossfit experience going into the free 6 week challenge that I signed up for. I was very out of shape and wanted to really jump into something that would kick start my weight loss journey. I just finished my 6 week challenge and lost 13# and 6% body fat. Everyone at the gym was extremely friendly and helpful. The coaches really care about teaching you the correct way to do the movements and they help you scale the workout to your own abilities. The work outs are intense but they give you all the tools you need to be able to work through them. I would recommend this gym/ challenge to anyone that is interested in putting in some hard work and becoming a better you.

Fantastic experience: I’m wrapping up the six week challenge at Bucktown CrossFit and I’ve really enjoyed the experience overall. Let me start by saying that the “free” challenge is anything but free. It’s a time commitment and a lot of discipline to complete. Not to mention I spent considerably more than what I typically would on groceries in following the nutrition plan. Having said that, I’d say it’s been worth it. My physical condition has improved (I was in good shape when I started the challenge) and I feel that I’m able to sleep better and generally have more energy and improved concentration, which I attribute largely to the nutrition. As far as the workouts, I’ve really enjoyed the classes and the instructors have been really helpful. They’re able to modify the workouts so you can participate and be challenged regardless of what you’re physical condition is currently or if you have any specific physical limitations. The groups are fun and it doubles as a way to meet people and build community. The gyms clean and well kept and as of my writing this they have just purchased some new barbells and bikes. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for a way to get in better shape and learn something new about yourself.

Fantastic experience: Bucktown CrossFit is amazing! The six week challange is one of the best things I could of ever done to get my CrossFit journey started. Each coach has something to offer and will go above and beyond to help you reach your goal. Not once have I felt discouraged or intimidated at the gym, coaches will make sure you have proper form and are always there to help you answer any questions. I am truly grateful I found Bucktown CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: This is a great fitness program. Really good coaches and community. For all the newcomers I would recommend getting a bunch of sessions in with Jason and James. I felt as though they were the best at helping someone like me, who was really out of shape, keep my form right. I was on edge about joining because of the initial $600 deposit and the idea of loosing 20lbs in 6 weeks didn't sound very healthy but very happy that I did. The nutrition plan makes sure your loosing fat and not muscle. Give it everything you got and you will get amazing results! Do it!

Fantastic experience: I participated in a six-week fitness challenge at Bucktown Crossfit. The challenge involved attending a minimum of three classes per week and following a healthy nutrition plan (not an emergency weight-loss diet!). The challenge also included specific goals that, when completed, redeem a percentage (up to 100%!) of your fees. The results are legit: I started the challenge fairly lean and STILL dropped ~5% body fat. I'm feeling great about how my body looks, how I feel in it, and what I'm putting into it. But the best part for me was learning a TON of new exercises from super positive and encouraging coaches. I highly recommend Bucktown Crossfit if you're looking for a path toward sustainable health.

Fantastic experience: I did the 6-week challenge and, in short, was not disappointed. The coaches do a very good job teaching you the lifts and techniques before each workout, and coach you if you need some more work. The classes themselves are very intense, so my resolve and mental toughness has improved at the end of the program. Meal plan was pretty much self explanatory, and if I had any questions the nutritionist always answered them. A little bit about my coach, Andrew. He is energetic and excited about each workout, and he will meet you where you’re at with your own goals and push you to meet and exceed them. I recommend it to anyone looking to get back into shape or anyone looking to for a serious challenge.

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the 6 week challenge and it has pushed me past what I thought my body was capable of! My goal when starting was just to kickstart a fitness routine and gain some healthy habits. I never imagined I would actually enjoy the process and sign up as a member. The gym has a very welcoming community and the instructors are simply amazing. Very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Just completed my 6-week challenge- and oh was it a challenge! For myself, it was a physically changing and mentally motivating experience. Each class was led thoughtfully by the coaches there, keeping a watchful eye on form & progress. They did their best to push everyone to their full potential- no half days! It was nice to see a team effort on both the instructor side & the challenger side. Even more, the other members of Bucktown Crossfit were self motivated & team orientated, creating an inspiring & exciting place to be- at 7am, which is early for me, but worth it! If you’re think about doing the challenge or joining the team, just do it!

Fantastic experience: I signed up for their 6 week challenge and loved it. They provide an extensive workout/meal plan that is easy to follow (with the right motivation) and gave me visible results after the first 2 weeks. All of the coaches were extremely personable and approachable, making the whole process so much easier and kept motivation high at all times. Matt specifically was awesome and worked with me so much 1on1 whenever I needed it, it seriously felt like I had my own personal trainer. I'd highly recommend this gym to anyone looking into crossfit and I'd highly recommend the challenge for anyone looking to improve their diet or general health/body image. Just be ready to work!

Fantastic experience: Finishing the 6 week challenge tomorrow. I’d recommend it if you’re ready to put in the work. I came in skeptical of the CrossFit community. We’ve all heard the jokes. And, to be fair... some of the stereotypes are true. :) I’ve done CrossFit style workouts, so I wasn’t a total “noob” but first time in the “lions den.” There are a lot of complex movements in CrossFit and many times you need to do those movements repeatedly in a given workout. The coaches do a great job breaking those movements down so that you are doing the workouts properly, and most importantly, safely! The gym community is very warm and welcoming. Regardless of you fitness level, you will feel like you belong. Coaches and other members alike; everyone is there to create an atmosphere centered around fitness and making it fun. Also, on certain days, there are some amazingly cute dogs!! Dogs, by themselves, always make things better.

Fantastic experience: I did the 6-week challenge and have nothing but good things to say about the program and the gym. The program was definitely a challenge, but one that leaves you feeling incredibly accomplished by the end of the 6 weeks. The coaches set you up for success - the meal plan is straightforward and weekly accountability check-ins helped me stay on track. The classes are great and always a challenge. Thank you to everyone at Bucktown CrossFit for making the challenge such a great experience for me!

Fantastic experience: 6 weeks ago I started my crossfit challenge and I am now hooked!!!. I never imagined myself doing the types of workouts I do now. The atmosphere and great always great energy from the coaches make you want to push that much more. I have developed a workout routine that is never boring and am stoked to keep coming back. Its no longer 6 weeks, This is now part of my life! Thanks so much to everyone at Bucktown Crossfit!!

Fantastic experience: I signed up for the 6 week challenge, and it was one of the best decisions I've made this year! The culture of the Bucktown Crossfit is positive and welcoming! They have incredible coaches that encourage and empower you to take control of your health! I would definitely recommend for anyone that is ready to commit to a healthier lifestyle, you will be able to reach your fitness and health goals! :)

Fantastic experience: I participated in their 6 week challenge, and have seen big changes in my body and how I feel. They provide resources to assist with diet, and their coaches are different enough that everyone can find their perfect motivational.match. As someone with a long-term injury, I have loved how any movement can be modified to make it possible for me! I love the community they have created here, and everyone seems to truly care about helping me improve and accomplish my goals!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my six week challenge, it was definitely a learning experience. I came in pretty scared about crossfit but it turns out this place has the friendliest instructor, they are both patient and welcoming. It's a great atmosphere, the classes are great. This is exactly what I needed to start my way into a more healthy lifestyle. Coaches that love what they do and that keep you accountable.

Fantastic experience: Just finishing up the 6 week challenge at Bucktown Crossfit. They have an amazing program and as an athlete I felt challenged and really appreciated the holistic style of their program – e.g. not only strength, but incorporating mobility and nutrition. In addition there is a great atmosphere from not only the coaches but the people themselves create a very supportive environment to learn and train in. Every workout was different and was definitely pushed to challenge myself each and every workout. The other good thing is their class availability – starting from 530 to 8 at night which I appreciated and know many did given work and life commitments. Overall great experience.

Fantastic experience: Bucktown CrossFit is the first CrossFit gym I have ever tried, and it is my first time doing CrossFit. Overall, I have I positive outlook on the gym and the staff that work here. The staff is motivational the music that they play gets me revved up and the group of people that you work out with kept me going as well. There are many levels of cross fitters, so I never felt out of place some were just beginning as I were and some have done it for some time, but they never make you feel less than. The members are just as helpful as the coaches are. The workouts are challenging and gets your blood pumping fast, so it was just what I was looking for I wrestled for a living so giving it all you have for a short period sounded way too familiar. I do not think I would have been able to complete the 6 Week Challenge if it wasn’t for everyone at Bucktown CrossFit they make it easy to want to come back and work hard not only for yourself but others around you because they cheer you on and help want to push you further. I would recommend Bucktown to anyone who is interested in CrossFit or just looking for a great place to get in shape while listening to great music. Oh and I think you can bring your dog too.

Fantastic experience: I did the 6 week challenge starting June 2, 2018 and it ended on August 9, 2018. Lost a total of 5.5% body fat- which was amazing & unbelievable! At first it was very challenging but you have the most helpful mentors you can possibly ask for. From your accountability coach to the front desk people- always willing to help you with whatever question(s) you have! Started off strong, but finished out stronger! I want to thank everyone at Bucktown Crossfit for letting me be apart of a great establishment & helping me pave my road to a healthy lifestyle/fitness!

Fantastic experience: Bucktown Crossfit! Where to begin! First of this place is freaking awesome. Awesome music playlist(always gets me bumping), dedicated educated staff, and motivational members. Literally everything about this place is awesome. I did the 6 week challenge and I absolutely loved every day of it. From day one all the way to the end of the challenge.The staff and fellow members always made me feel very welcomed(shout out to my coaches Matt, JT, Jackie, Kim). They always pushed me to give it 110%. Even when I thought I was done, no gas left in the tank. Their words of encouragement always helped me push past what I thought was my threshold. They always made me feel like they wanted me to genuinely get better. The atmosphere at this place made me want to come back again and again. No matter how sore or tired I was. The hardest part of the challenge for me was the nutrition. But if you actually follow it 100%(no cheat days) you will reach your goal and you will definitely see results. For the first 2 weeks I was actually doing the nutrition plan wrong and was over eating. But once I spoke Donna (the nutritionist) who is also a badass, we figured out the problem(don't eat carbs for dinner duh). After that I started seeing almost immediate results. If you are tried of the gym scene where you go and you are on your own day in and day out. Sometimes not knowing what you are doing, It gets difficult to stay motivated and keep going. That was my issue for a very long time. Finding a training partner that fits your schedule and is dependable was also really difficult to find. But at Bucktown Crossfit there is always someone to workout with that is going to push you to your limits. That wants you to be better. The things I am able to do after only 6 weeks almost baffles me. I am capable of doing so much more than I ever thought I would. I have signed up for a year long membership because this place is so amazing and the results I have achieved. If you genuinely want to get in the best shape of your life and are willing to do things you probably have never done before. Take the 6 week challenge. Its far from easy, but if you are dedicated and consistent and always give it your all. You wont be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I knew Bucktown CrossFit was for me when I stopped making excuses to avoid going to the gym and started naturally prioritizing it. I did the 6-week challenge and have nothing but good things to say about the program, gym and coaches. I was skeptical at first, sounded to good to be true but I signed up anyway as I just needed something different that would get me back on track with my diet and weight. This program is designed for all participants regardless of your fitness level to be successful in 6 weeks with hard work and provides you the tools to sustain a healthy lifestyle beyond the 6 weeks. But what will keep me coming back is the community of people and coaches who are always willing to help you learn, help push you and never make you feel uncomfortable. Thanks BTCF for a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Signed up for a 6 week challenge as I needed a change and was fed of my schedule And lack of exercise. I work crazy hours so regular gym was very hard. Went for an orientation and they explained how the workout goes and gave me a full meal plan. Classes go anywhere from 5am till 8pm to accommodate all schedules. Workouts are very intense but i started seeing fast results. Shape, strength and stamina. Staff and trainers are very friendly and experienced. Thanks for helping out and giving me the challenge, would definitely continue at Bucktown CrossFit and highly recommend it to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Just completed BCTF's 6-Week CrossFit Challenge and it is an experience that goes way beyond the gym. I'm extremely happy with the results and experience I got In this program. Walking into orientation I wasn't sure if I was capable of keeping up with everyone; there was a class in session while I was there to hear about the program and I was very intimidated. That intimidation stems from my experience at Big Box gyms (no guidance, no form correcting or advising, no strategy). I was very aimless in my routines and knew I needed the help, so I set that worry aside and signed up. They offer a meal plan, accountability coach, and unlimited classes with very knowledgeable and a motivating staff. That alone is what makes this a 5-star review, but on top of that you're also paired with like-minded individuals who all bring an energy of their own into the gym. The members and staff here at Bucktown CrossFit really eliminates the stigma that some people associate with gyms (intimidation, judgement, etc.). I recommend this to anyone. Literally. I had zero experience, no strength training and my mobility very much needed improvement; I am in the best shape I've been in and it was made possible with their help. I find myself setting personal goals outside of their program and this is a very good starting point to anyone who needs a change of pace. This place gives you the tools to complete the challenge and helps every step of the way. They have your best interest in mind, and you can complete this challenge, too, if you're committed and will dedicate the time to scheduling your workouts, reading the material, and preparing your meals.

Fantastic experience: This place is great! I was a part of the 6-week challenge which ended in the middle of April this year. It was so great, that I became a member! I lost about16 pounds, the most I've ever lost in that time frame. The challenge provided a great intro to the world of Crossift and gave people like me, who need convincing, a meaningful way to learn the language and transition into these intense workouts. The community is great too! It's the perfect combination of setting personal goals while remaining engaged with your peers. Crossfit, though perhaps more expensive than other memberships, has been a truly amazing experience for me thus far. Worth it in my opinion! The coaches there are great too! Attentive, cheerful, and tough in all the right ways!

Fantastic experience: They have an amazing group of coaches that really teach you and push you to reach your goals. They really know how to tailor every workout to every skill level! This team of coaches really do care about you living a healthier lifestyle. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking to achieve there health goals and jumpstart that healthy lifestyle. Happy to be a committed member now!

Fantastic experience: I’m just wrapping up my 6 week challenge and I have to say I feel pretty great! It’s been a hot minute since I really focused on working out regularly, and this challenge 100% helped me remember why feeling stronger is so great! If you have the time, and can be focused/dedicated for 6 weeks, I would recommend. The coaches and staff at Bucktown have been nothing but helpful, encouraging and most importantly for me, welcoming. In all my workouts there was a varying amount of strength level, and adjustments were always made (whether someone needed more or less challenge). My only critique is how they sell the accountability coach aspect of the program. My expectation was that it would be a little more personalized (it’s one message a week), but I will say that I didn’t need a lot of questions answered- and likely if you did, I think the relationship there would be more involved. Overall, this challenge has given me a jump start on getting back into consistent workouts, and I was able to try out CrossFit to see what all they hype is about... and it works. :)

Fantastic experience: As part of a first time crack at crossfit, I had great experience all throughout the 6-week challenge at Bucktown Crossfit. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, paying the utmost attention to detail in form to help with safety and efficiency. The gym culture is community-oriented and creates a killer energy to take the workouts head-on with. The workouts themselves are definitely challenging yet geared in a way to be fun. Hands down recommend stopping by the gym and giving their workouts a shot!

Fantastic experience: I think I was sold on this gym the moment I walked in for orientation and was greeted by a friendly golden retriever named "Coach" and it only got better from there. In the past 6 weeks I have challenged myself physically and mentally in the best of ways. Learning new workout techniques and feeling myself grow stronger with every 5lbs added to my barbell. Being a part of Bucktown Crossfit made me feel like an athlete again which is saying a lot because it has been seven years since I was a rower. If you are thinking about joining this gym and in particular, doing the six-week challenge here is the advice I would give you: 1. Take all of Jason's classes. He is always so energetic and excited to be with the group, he learns your name pretty much on the first day and encourages you every step of the way. He has this uncanny ability to be both tough and super supportive at the same time and knows exactly what to say to get you to push that extra 10% towards your goal. Definitely not a class to miss. 2. The nutrition plan is not a general guideline, it should be followed EXACTLY as they give it to you. Trust me, as I treated it as a guideline for a few weeks and have regretted it coming into this last week. 3. Get to know the people around you who are also part of the challenge/the wiser ones who have been along longer than a couple of weeks. Probably the BEST part of Bucktown Crossfit is the community they have built. Everyone is encouraging and friendly even at 5:30am when it is raining outside and finding parking has been a complete nightmare you can count on them to cheer you on. Anyway, I hope people have gotten this far in my review and don't want to be too long winded, but all I have to say is this place is definitely worth checking out. I may not have completed the challenge fully (I may have my weigh out is tomorrow so fingers crossed), but no matter what the scale says I know I've come out of this experience with a new set of skills, motivation to work harder and a great experience to look back on. Also a hell of a lot of burpees under my belt so there's something to that.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I was scared to start but the instructors are friendly to new people and take the time to explain things. I did the 6-Week challenge at this location and it was a great experience. I recommend this gym for anyone who’s looking to get in shape. I’ve never felt stronger in my life. The location is convenient. I looked around at other gyms and I think this is one is the best bang for your buck

Fantastic experience: I just completed the 6 week challenge and I am hooked. I never though I would be one to do CrossFit but everyone at Bucktown CrossFit was extremely helpful in getting beginners acclimated. The 6 week challenge, it was a great introduction for beginners and even more experience gym users. The resources they provided are exceptional and its definitely worth checking out. The staff as well as the members were more then willing to help out. I really felt it was more than a gym or box but it was also building a community.

Fantastic experience: Bucktown CrossFit has literally changed my life since day one. The coaches are super skilled and friendly . The people who attend the classes are willing to help you and encourage you to do your last rep. I highly recommend people who want to loose weight and tone up their bodies to do the 6 week challenge like I did. In 6 weeks I lost 20 pounds just attending 3 classes per week and following a healthy diet. It works. If you decide to join be ready to meet lots of friendly people. Bucktown CrossFit is a great community.

Fantastic experience: I joined Bucktown Crossfit for the six week challenge and I would highly recommend it! The challenge is definitely tough - be ready to work, but you will definitely see results if you follow their plan. The best part about this place is how friendly and encouraging all the staff and fellow athletes are. I felt welcomed right away and never intimidated. They really encourage cooperation and most importantly, working to the level that is best for you. Whether you join for the challenge or as a member, you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to this gym through their 6 week challenge. It has a good atmosphere the coaches are very driven. The classes are fun and energy packed. The challenge is fun but it's like anything what you put into it is what you're going to get out. It's high-risk high-reward. I wish they would talk a lot more about nutrition throughout the challenge and talk about isometric and pea protein. But overall great place worth the time and effort.

Fantastic experience: I joined bucktown crossfit through the 6-week challenge. I really love the atmosphere of the gym and how supportive everyone is in the process. The classes are challenging and fun and the coaches push you to be the best. I was a little intimidated by crossfit, but after 6 weeks I can see the changes in my body and I feel a lot stronger.

Fantastic experience: Overall, I had an amazing experience at Bucktown CrossFit. Very friendly and supportive community. I was part of the 6 week challenge. The workouts are intense but instructors keep you motivated through the whole class. After finishing the 6 week challenge I feel much stronger and healthier. I highly recommend this place.

Fantastic experience: This was the first time I tried crossfit and I did not regret it. Not only is the staff super friendly but so is the environment. I did the 6 week crossfit challenge which forced me to do excercises and workouts I would have never thought of doing before and I definitely felt it everywhere especially during the outside runs. The instructors are patient and are super motivating during the classes they push you and blast music to really get you going which I loved. Overall it was a great experience and highly recommend for people that want to meet new people and push themselves.
