Fantastic experience: Excellent Crossfit gym!

Fantastic experience: Awesome place! Excellent workouts!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience! First time going since the pandemic started and it is a very clean place. Masks are worn. Tyler is a great instructor! I am looking forward to another class.

Fantastic experience: We have a wonderful instructor. The workout is challenging and does not make me look for an emergency room after each class. The rates are great. The space very nice and well-equipped. We clean all the items we use and can wear a mask.

Fantastic experience: Nice today!! We are back to normal, the gym was with more people now at busy hours. No mask requirement, just if you want to use it.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Paradox is the first CrossFit gym I have worked out in. I visited one other CrossFit gym before visiting and ultimately choosing CrossFit Paradox. Why did I ultimately choose CrossFit Paradox? It wasn't a single thing that made me choose it, it was literally everything that made me choose it!! For starters the gym itself is well kept and clean and everyone is friendly. It is a place of acceptance and growth. You come as you are and are supported and encouraged on your fitness journey. As a young woman with a physical handicap I will tell you that this is HUGE!! With my physical limitations I wasn't sure if I would be successful at CrossFit but I wanted to give it a try. I met with JR who is director of training and we came up with a plan, he showed me I could do pretty much everything with just a little adjustment here and there. JR's knowledge of all things CrossFit, how the body moves, and how to adapt things for each individual is amazing!! CrossFit Paradox single handedly opened a whole new world to me that I wasn't sure was possible and to me that is EVERYTHING!

Fantastic experience: The place got great atmosphere, first time there and I will be back. Training and help is what got me going harded at my level

Fantastic experience: Decent gym. Has everything a normal person who workouts would want.

Fantastic experience: Great Gym!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Really good people with really good trainers. You can't go wrong with them!

Fantastic experience: It's a clean and quiet gym which really allows me to focus on what matters. The staff and other guests are also very respectful and are good about maintaining the place.

Fantastic experience: I love the convenience of this gym. The staff is very nice and professional. The equipment are very well taken care of. Nothing worn out or broken.

Fantastic experience: I trialed 2 other crossfits. This one is by far my favorite. They are organized with the free class process. They work to make sure you have proper form. Even see them doing it with members who have been going for a while. Ali and katie are great, they make you feel welcome and enjoy what they do. Good music, good environment and great coaches!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been with Crossfit Paradox for 6 months and it has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made The coaches are great and they always strive to encourage you to be better. I love the variety of the workouts - it never gets boring.

Fantastic experience: I just started coming here a month ago and have really enjoyed it. I have not lived weights in years. The instructors are great with beginners and are continuously coaching. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Crossfit Paradox for over three years now. I can't say enough about how great both the staff and other members are. They keep the workouts varied and intense but make sure it is manageable for all skill levels. They are always hosting events and encouraging members to make the most out of the experience. In a busy world this gym has helped me get into the best shape of my life and still look forward to going to the gym as much as I can.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this place! The instructors were so welcoming and helpful since I was a complete newbie to CrossFit!

Fantastic experience: I joined Crossfit Paradox in April and it has been the best decision I've ever made. I joined because I gained a lot of weight the previous year and was looking for guidance in implementing a healthier lifestyle. I was extremely scared and felt intimidated when I first walked into the gym because it seemed like everyone had a six pack and could lift my body weight over their heads repeadetly. I was quickly greeted and assured that they could modify anything to my ability level and that everyone was friendly, encouraging, and motivating- I was skeptical about all of that because of prior experiences in gyms. I still signed up for their free class and figured that if I made a complete fool of myself, they'd never have to see me again. I made a complete fool of myself during the first session, however, everyone kindly reminded me that they had similar first day experiences when they began and that I should keep doing it because I could only get better if I continued. I continued and got a membership. I am now 30 lbs. lighter and healthier. I've also gained muscle. When I first began, I had 98 lbs. of muscle in my body and as of September, I have 112 lbs of muscle. I didn't do this alone. These results are because of the amazing support from every member. I've never, in my entire life, had a group of people cheer me on when I'm finishing last, until I came to Crossfit Paradox. I've had members sit, stand, and run next to me and encourage me to push through when I was ready to give up. These people and this place are amazing and if you're thinking about taking a dive in crossfit, come here! You will not be disappointed. The prices are very competitive in comparison with other places, and they offer introductory classes which are truly helpful. The owner is welcoming and he, and his amazing coaches, will make your body do things you didn't know it could do!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Paradox DG is fantastic! The atmosphere is great. Everyone is encouraging and supportive. I really can't say enough about it. You will have to check it out for yourself.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, great people and they give you free water. I mean who doesn't like free water?

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Paradox truly has something for everyone. Whether you have been doing crossfit for years or you want to try it for the first time, this gym is so welcoming. I went to my first class in June after purchasing a Groupon, and I was kind of intimidated. Everyone around me seemed stronger and more fit! But I was immediately hooked. Allie and Katie walk the beginners through every move and know how to push you to just the right level. Plus, the other members are always giving each other words of support and praise. Definitely a SUPPORTIVE community. Plus, the workouts are challenging but fun. I highly recommend Crossfit Paradox!

Fantastic experience: I've been coming here for about 6 months now, and have loved it so far. JR and the coaches have been great, and I have seen a lot of progress in just a few months. Would highly recommend this place for anyone in the area looking for a great gym!

Fantastic experience: Awesome box with great programming! When I moved to the area over a year ago I was nervous switching boxes, but paradox made me feel right at home. The members and coaches are so friendly and always willing to help!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit paradox has change my life and the way I see fitness. The coaches are amazing!

Fantastic experience: This CrossFit place is a true gem in Downers Grove. The trainers are A+ grade, the facility is spacious enough to get quality work and the overall atmosphere is by far one of the best. I highly recommend this place to people who are serious about bringing their workout routine to another level.

Fantastic experience: Joining Paradox 10 months ago has pulled me out of my soccer playing and distance running comfort zone in the best way possible. I've become a better overall athlete thanks to the great and patient coaches and challenging workouts.

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Paradox changed my life. I started over three years ago and never looked back. The community here is so supportive and knowledgeable with a coaching staff that is always willing to go the extra mile with you. Come give it a try I strongly recommend Crossfit Paradox.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for little over a year. Great place with great people and great coaches. I Recommend it.

Fantastic experience: The synergy built from performing difficult workout with others was rewarding. Crossfit Paradox rekindled my desire to workout, and reminded me that I can achieve a desired physique.

Fantastic experience: I purchased a Groupon in June for CrossFit Paradox to try CrossFit for the first time. I haven't been an athlete in 25 years and was hesitant because of the reputation of CrossFit as a "Bro" mentality, and high risk of injury. I chose Paradox over other boxes because rather than a completely separate program for beginners, they have beginner classes mixed with more experienced athletes. It is inspiring when people tell you at the end of class how far they have come. The coaches are amazing! They are helpful, knowledgeable and give you a realistic perspective on what you should be doing, focusing on form and range of motion over weight and PR's. A month and a half in I was injured(not related to CrossFit) and they helped me modify my workouts and made special accommodations so I wouldn't have to stop. It was awesome! If you are thinking of trying CrossFit, I highly recommend checking them out. It is a great, positive, and friendly environment and a great place to workout. I also recommend the Pee-Wee classes for kids. My seven year old loves the gym, the coaches, and workouts. He does not like team sports and this has been an amazing experience for him! Coach is amazing with the kids, and has the patience of a saint. One of the best gym experiences I have ever had.

Fantastic experience: Joining Crossfit Paradox was one of the best decisions I ever made. The coaches and the members at Crossfit Paradox will push you to be your best self. Great programming and scaling for all levels of fitness. I've been a member since 2012 and love the feeling of community at our gym.

Fantastic experience: CrossFit Paradox has been my gym for over 4 years now. I love the sense of community at this gym full of passionate people of all ages and all ability levels. I learn something new every day, and am so happy to have finally found a place to work out where I always feel welcome, never feel judged, and where I actually look forward to working out!

Fantastic experience: I used to do Crossfit about 2 years ago and fell off the wagon. As a female, Crossfit can be pretty intimidating to start (for me anyway). I can easily get discouraged to even walk in the door. Not at Paradox though. The classes I went to had two female coaches that were not only positive and encouraging, they broke all the lifts and moves down at the beginning of each class (and work with you individually if you are still not feeling great about it.) Ali’s energy is amazing! And Katie always seems to have an eye on you should she need to tell you to make corrections. I’d recommend this box to anyone, whether you are new to Crossfit or experienced. It’s a comfortable group and I look forward to working out now.

Fantastic experience: I try crossfit for the first time,ilike a lot and i did the sing in,great workout intense ,very good professional coaches,i really recommend crossfit paradox

Fantastic experience: This gym is stellar! I've only been a member for 2 months, but I love everything about it. There is a different workout every session, and the coaches are very supportive and knowledgeable. Plus, all the members seem very friendly and encouraging.

Fantastic experience: Have been going for 4 months now. Great gym and amazing staff. If you are looking to get into better shape, improve mobility, increase strength or anything similar...I highly recommend it.

Fantastic experience: As a father to 4 kiddos all under the age of 9 -- my time is precious! I'm able to come in and train with high intensity and high efficiency, giving me the max results I need, under one-hour. Led by seasoned trainers and a great team environment, makes CrossFit Paradox a natural choice.

Fantastic experience: Its a great place

Fantastic experience: New to crossfit . After two years of having back surgery I was afraid to start working out again. The instructors took the time to show me modifications when or where I needed it. They do offer a class for beginners but I will say ALL the classes i have attended not only do the instructors make me feel comfortable but those participating in the class encourage and support one another. Not only is it a great workout but it allows you to workout at your own level .

Fantastic experience: I’m new to CrossFit. I like the workouts. Staffs and members are welcoming and supportive. I’ve never felt so strong and energetic. I like the feeling of going home all sweaty (sometimes shaky) it feels like I really did something intense. Members has varied fitness levels so you’ll not feel left out. Will definitely stick around.

Fantastic experience: The week trial on Groupon certainly helped make my decision to try Paradox out, but I liked it so much I've been a member for nearly a year now. The coaches know what they're talking about, and you always get in a great workout!

Fantastic experience: The new owner rocks. Great community and great training. Even in group classes I get one on one training to help me take my lifts to the next level.

Fantastic experience: I love this place. My wife and I started coming here from a 10 pass groupon and really enjoy the environment, atmosphere, coaches and equipment. Everyone is super nice and ready to help newbies like myself. Definitely recommend if you live in the area.

Fantastic experience: Awesome community and great programming.

Fantastic experience: I've lost weight and built better fundamentals through this box. The coaches are motivational and the other members are great people to see daily. I highly recommend this place if you're looking to get out of your old fitness routine.
