CrossFit^® Des Plaines

Fantastic experience: Best gym in the city. Great environment and community!

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience I had with CrossFit Des Plaines. The first class I took I felt like I was part of the family. Everyone was so incredibly kind and helpful, they welcomed me with open arms. Walked me through techniques, proper form, educated me on different movements and was there to help anyway possible. I will forever be grateful for the experience here. Can’t wait to cross paths again one day.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit has changed my life! Most importantly this community has been my biggest motivation. I absolutely LOVE all the coaches and how attentive they are to everyone in class. Coach Carl who I see most often due to my schedule has given me a new perspective on health and really sees potential in his students even if you’re struggling to see it in yourself. I feel strong and more confident in myself. Going on 1.5 years of consistent workouts; I can’t remember the last activity I stuck to this long. Worth the investment!!

Fantastic experience: Only been a member for about 2 months but I’m having so much fun and feeling stronger than ever! The trainers have been incredible and have helped me focus and improve on my form. The community is also very welcoming! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: Was in the area visiting family and finally decided to stop being scary and do some drop in classes. Did my googles and found CrossFit Des Plaines. Read a ton of really good reviews and did 3 classes over the week I was visiting. Like anything else, there’s always a chance that going to a different gym could always present a completely different experience, but CFDP did not disappoint! Their coaches are extremely knowledgeable and much like their members, were very welcoming! You always hear about the CF community, but don’t necessarily get a chance to experience different gyms. CFDP gave me the exact same vibe that my gym gives me and reminds me why I love CF so much. They’re just a group of everyday people of every walk of life. Every different age, race, social status, etc. coming in and busting their butts to be better than they were when they walked through that door and cheer you on as you do the same! If you’re going to be in the Des Plaines area and are needing a CF affiliate to drop into or live in the area are looking for a CF gym to join, I’d highly recommend checking out CFDP! I’m glad to know that from now on, when I’m visiting family, I have a CF gym to stay consistent when I’m on vacation! Scott and Carl were amazing during my drop-ins! Hats off to you fellas and the rest of your team! Gyms like yours continue to give people the TRUE CF experience! And shoutout to all of your members for making my nephew (who just might become a member now) and I feel right at home! 5*’s across the board! #HWPO

Fantastic experience: The classes are challenging but fun, and they have options for anyone at any fitness level. The instructors and staff have gone above and beyond to allow for proper social distancing, and they sanitize the equipment in between classes.

Fantastic experience: Good neighborhood gym, lots of equipment and hardly ever crowded when I go there. Great monthly price for use of the facilities, clean and well maintained!!

Fantastic experience: The front desk associates were super welcoming and helpful. The gym is clean and there are so many options in the nooks and crannies of the layout along with the main body of the building.

Fantastic experience: After years of inactivity I was trying to find a sport that would motivate me to get back into action. I found a lifestyle and a family at Crossfit Des Plaines. All coaches are extremely well prepared and exceptionally knowledgable! Most importantly, they all know how to actually COACH! I cannot stress how important that is! In 2 years of crossfit I did not get hurt once. I would recommend anyone who is trying to get moving to visit this amazing place!

Fantastic experience: Amazing coaches and a super friendly community environment

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Quality I dropped in at CrossFit Des Plaines today. I had an awesome workout. Carl did a great job engaging the class, communicated well, and did a great job explaining the stimulus/feel of the workout.

Fantastic experience: I started doing cross fit about three months ago, with no background or experience, and found that CFDP was the best place for me to learn about the sport. All of the coaches and staff members were extremely knowledgeable, making the classes fun, engaging, encouraging, and non-judgmental. The coaches are always willing to provide constructive feedback to improve technique/form, and fostering encouragement to continue building on the growing skillset. The gym space is wide, allowing yourself enough space in which to do the exercises without bumping into your fellow classmates. Would highly recommend this gym based on the coaches, staff, location in Des Plaines, and size/capacity of the gym itself.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality This is a A+ operation. Carl is an exceptional coach. I've definitely learned tons going to CFDP! It's serious fun. If you ever decided to do Crossfit, this is the place to go! I'll be back!

Fantastic experience: I joined CF DP for 3 months to get stronger for boxing/bjj. I took the AM classes ~3/week. It was a great experience. The coaches were knowledgeable and friendly. The coaches knew when to push me and when to recommend I dial it back. Progressed steadily during my time there thanks to the coaches. I ultimately ended up investing in my own gym equipment, but would recommend CF DP to anyone that's interested in CF or weightlifting.

Fantastic experience: Great gym! Love the environment. Staff is super attentive and friendly. Has some of the best equipment in IL. It's been hard for everyone, but they have handled COVID very well. I look forward to my next work out, can't wait to try out a smoothie next time.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Des Plainss was an amazing place for me to get into CrossFit. Coach Carl’s individual introduction sessions made sure I started with good form and got me more comfortable with all the lifts. All the coaches are incredible and make the workouts tough and fun while proving modifications for any injury’s etc. that you need. My husband and I made so many friends here it was hard to leave when we moved away!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in because I was in the area visiting my family. It’s a great gym. Good coaches, good atmosphere, good programming, I really enjoyed it here. I should also mention that I had contacted at least 3 other gyms in the area about dropping in, and not only did Scott answer me immediately, he was the ONLY one who answered me at all. I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.

Fantastic experience: I came in as a total newbie to this lifestyle, and even though it was intimidating to come in for that first workout, it's been so great. Everyone is so kind and non-judgmental, the coaches push you to improve while showing you how to stay safe, and the group format of classes is fantastic. New or seasoned, you'll be covered in sweat at the end!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Des Plaines is one of the first gyms I ever wanted to go to consistently. It has a great community, the newer facilities are on par with the national standard, but most importantly, it has an amazing staff. The blend of people at CFDP is phenomenal. With a background of nutritionists, weight lifters, coaches, marathon athletes, healthcare professionals, and all around amazing trainers this branch has something to offer for all athletes from all walks of life, and all levels of experience. If you are on the edge of deciding between CFDP and a typical gym, come here first and try it out.

Fantastic experience: The coaches and the atmosphere at CFDP are second to none. The members are great to be around and everyone pushes you to become better! You got everything you need in fitness in one place. If you’re interested in trying Crossfit this place will welcome you, make you apart of the family and keep you coming back for more.

Fantastic experience: The best people... The best gym ... The best coaches ...The best workouts...The best community. You will love it !

Fantastic experience: I had such a lovely time dropping in over the holidays. All the members and coaches were friendly and inviting. The wods were exactly what I needed - a no nonsense, good, hard workout. If you've been training for a while or are brand new to CrossFit, I'd recommend giving this place a go. Can't wait to drop in next time im in town.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Des Plaines is so much more than a gym. It’s a community that welcomes you as you are from the moment you step foot through their door. It’s coaches that are always advancing their fitness/nutrition education to better serve you and your important goals. It’s a gym that has a place for everyone; kids, 55+, beginners, elite, pregnant/postpartum, medical diagnoses, and so on! As a coach and an athlete at CFDP, I can attest to the amazing and skilled services this gym provides and I truly enjoy spending my time here! You’ll want to be a part of it!

Fantastic experience: i have joined recently in desplaines crossfit and I can just say it is really worth for the money My coach Carl you are the best :D:D

Fantastic experience: As a Chiropractor I have patients that need strengthening and nutrition advice that CrossFit in Des Plaines is able to provide. Not all CrossFit gyms are the same and none compare to what CrossFit Des Plaines can offer. They are able to tailor the workouts and advice per what is needed for the client. The coaches over there are top notch in their field and will help you with your goals. If it is weight loss to strength training to whatever your reason they truly are your team.

Fantastic experience: My home away from home, as an athlete and coach alike. Be sure to try a free class to find out what the CFDP family is all about!

Fantastic experience: Coaches know there stuff. Crossfit is a long turn commitment, you shouldn't expect results right away. Give it a good month and you will notice your body changing after that. Been here for a little less than a year and it has changed my life style completely.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Cheryl de Guzman to help you establish and realize all of your nutrition and fitness goals. Her personality and approach is fantastic. If you are looking for a coach regardless of your fitness level you do not have to look any further! Give Cheryl a call!

Fantastic experience: Cheryl from CFD has made it easy for me to open up about my eating habits and exercise routines, giving encouragement and guidance on how to improve. She’s an empathetical coach and for that I recommend her to everyone.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are knowledgeable. Quality equipment and its a perfect place to do the work out.Thank you.

Fantastic experience: My husband was not his usual energetic self. I need him to be healthy and energized! We have 3 businesses, 2 active grandchildren, and a very busy life. I signed him up for a session at CrossFit Des Plaines with Cheryl. He has been going there now for 3 months and he is now back to his old self! Thank you Cheryl!

Fantastic experience: I love this place!! The coaches are super friendly and they will work with you to reach whatever your fitness goal is. The equipments are very well kept and they upgrade them regularly. They have classes for little kids, and you’ll see people of all ages, from teens to people in their 60s-70s. I would recommend CrossFit Des Planes to anyone. Come in and try out a class. You won’t be disappointed!!

Fantastic experience: Dropped into this gym while out of town for work and wanted to grab a good workout before I flew home. This gym was extremely nice and CLEAN inside. Very impressive facility. Also the staff and members were extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend dropping in here.

Fantastic experience: Having been around CrossFit since 2009 and been involved in boxes in Kansas City and Minneapolis, I consider myseld qualified to say this is a top tier box. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable but more than that they coach with passion and great care. This is a box that caters to ALL LEVELS whether that be a newbie, a baby boomer who is looking to prevent strength loss or a seasoned veteran. Do not think twice, call them...it will change your life.

Fantastic experience: Cheryl De Guzman is an exceptional trainer. She has great ways to make you look and feel better. Yes it will take some work and effort on your part- you will be thrilled with the results. Once you can start moving around more easily and have renewed energy, you will know that the effort you put into working out with Cheryl was worth it! I recommend Cheryl highly. Call her for a consultation - you will be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: Just finished 6 weeks challenge. It was an amazing experience. Loved the workouts. Coaches are super helpful. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Everyone is very supportive. The coaches are helpful with the movements. It's a great motivation to do a group workout and keeps me from pushing myself. I like the structure and instead of wasting my time at a gym. Crossfit Des Plaines allows me to utilize my time in an hour and every minute and plus everyone there makes it fun.

Fantastic experience: Was very nervous my first time going to this gym but coaches and the members were very welcoming. Coach Cheryl and coach Carl were very informative when it came to teaching me the workouts. Gym is kept clean. Would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Facility is very well maintained, and packed with all the equipment you need for a workout. From warm ups to WODs, you can tell how much time and detail is put into each of these aspects to help everyone not only achieve their fitness goals, but to also minimize injury through the journey. Coaching staff is very knowledgeable, and has all the answers for any questions you may have for them. If you’re in town for a short period of time, O’hare is a short distance away from this location as well. Well worth checking out!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Des Plaines is a great place to be whether you're a beginner athlete just looking for a life style change to be a healthier, better version of yourself, or an advanced athlete looking to take the next level. Whatever the case, this place will get you to reach goals you thought may not have been possible through directions from dedicated coaches and a supportive/motivating community of members.

Fantastic experience: There are a ton of crossfit gyms around this area, but I really enjoy CF Des Plaines because of the wonderful, knowledgeable coaches, fantastic programming, and the members. The coaches are able to modify or scale the workout for each individual member, they offer nutrition coaching and other gymnastics/Olympic lifting for those that are interested. It is my favorite part of the day to unwind at CFDP and get in a good sweat sesh. If you're curious, stop by or drop in for a workout and give it a whirl! You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Finally got motivated to do a crossfit day, and not sure why I didn't do it sooner!!! If you haven't been and are maybe feeling little intimidated like I was at first, rest assured your in for a great time!!! I loved even though there were other people working out with you, you were only competing with yourself!! Having options of how hard you wanted to challenge your self but still having a coach (Scott was ours that day) giving you pointers along the way!!! will be doing more classes in the future!!!

Fantastic experience: I went for my first workout at CrossFit Des Plaines without much knowledge about CrossFit. The usual stigma about group workout is not being able to keep up with the other participants, though this establishment was extremely accommodating. I never felt that my individual performance was not good enough or that I hindered the other folk for the workout. I strongly recommend you pay a visit to CrossFit Des Plaines if you are looking to improve your fitness in an encouraging setting. -Jon

Fantastic experience: Amazing place! Coaches are all super informative and helpful, ensuring all athletes are getting the proper coaching and attention needed for their skill level. If you want a place to feel welcomed and get the best workout for you! This is the place

Fantastic experience: Such an awesome experience! I have never done CrossFit before and honestly was nervous- I have never considered myself as a strong person, or much for weight lifting. The classes have something for literally every level, and you really make it as hard for your own self as possible. Scott ran our class and he was super nice and helpful, if there was something I could be doing differently he was so nice about it, to help me get a better work out. I never felt like I was doing better or worse than anyone, and it was SUCH a great work out! Will definitely be going back!

Fantastic experience: I always look forward to working out at CFDP. The coaches are really knowledgeable and help you achieve your goals. From nutrition, programming, and skills clinics, CFDP is top notch.

Fantastic experience: Great place to spend an hour a day! It's truly on one of the highlights of my day. The owner really cares about the members and listens to what everyone needs and offers what we need. Nutritional coaching is offered, as well as Olympic lifting classes, seminars and extra classes to learn skills if you want to increase your knowledge. The coaches are all top notch, and really care about you and strive to keep you safe, scale or alter a workout to adjust to your ability, and everyone is so encouraging. The members of Crossfit Des Plaines really are a group of great people and they welcome you in with open arms as a newcomer. Check it out!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Des Plaines is the perfect combination of community, coaching, and programming. Coach Scott's programming is specifically developed to challenge the advanced athlete and be scaleable/accessible to the new athlete. Each coach keeps and eye out for form and an an ear out for the goals of each individual member. There are awesome extras (such as spot on nutrition coaching and skills camps/gymnastics accessory work) offered at CFDP. It's super close to O'Hare airport too....No better place to be!

Fantastic experience: Coach Scott Pecucci assured me 3 years ago when he took me under his wing that I could do CrossFit. Me! An out of shape, busy working-mother of 3, could do CrossFit. Scott sat down with me and we talked about my fitness goals. I now am in my 3rd year of CrossFit and love it. The one hour classes make it manageable for a working parent. Scott and the coaches at CrossFit DesPlaines are very knowledgeable about functional fitness and keeping their members healthy. This gym understands that not every member walking in is an elite athlete, and treat you as an individual. Your goals and path are supported and followed by the coaches which allows you to meet your goals and then make new ones! You should drop in for a class. You will love it!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Des plaines is not the first CrossFit gym I have visited but it is the first I became a member of. I was intimidated of the whole CrossFit workout but all the coaches are top of the line and very inviting.the owner really cares about every member. All and all a great experience I couldn't ask for more!
