CrossFit^® Develop

Fantastic experience: Very welcoming, supportive and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to go that will make you feel like a better person. I was intimidated to start but everyone is extremely welcoming and they are there to get personally better. Chris and Kelly make the process seamless and every coach is continually trying to help along the way. After you go to a few classes you will be hooked. Try it out and you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Great comp put on by the team at CrossFit Develop. Stop in and see them!

Fantastic experience: Great group of trainers and a fun environment to work on your fitness.

Fantastic experience: Attended a morning class over Thanksgiving break and was very impressed with the friendliness of both the Cisco. (Katie) and the members. The quality of the programming and coaching was impressive. This is a great location for drop-ins like me and feels like a great place to be a member. I’ll definitely drop in again if the opportunity arises!

Fantastic experience: I own Absolution CrossFit in La Grange, IL and I brought a team of athletes to compete in the 2022 Fourtified Competition. The event was run impressively well, the staff and volunteers were very friendly. Of course we had some disagreements on no reps with one of our judges... But, that's part of game day excitement! I will definitely strongly consider revisiting for future events and hopefully bring more teams!

Fantastic experience: This competition was run extremely well, and brought in some amazing competitors! They stayed on track with the time lines posted, and the judging was spot on! I can wait for their next competition!

Fantastic experience: I attended a competition here this past Saturday and it was great! It was a competitive and positive environment and I would totally go to this gym again for another comp. ‍♂️

Fantastic experience: The community at CFD is unlike one I’ve experienced before. Everyone, regardless to what class you “normally” go to, is incredibly friendly and supportive. Coach Chris leads a group of excellent coaches that do an awesome job explaining movements, encouraging growth, and making it a fun and challenging environment. Coach Kelly has awesome programs for those who want help with nutrition. She’s understanding, knowledgeable, and a great support system. CFD also offers a barbell class dedicated to the skills of Olympic lifting led by Coach Heidi. That class has helped me tremendously as an athlete and with overall strength and mobility. Plus, it is an awesome change of pace class. I can’t recommend CFD enough. Throw everything out that you think you know about CrossFit gyms and come have a blast at CFD.

Fantastic experience: My boys were challenged to push themselves and came home tried, but excited to what them had accomplished. And they were always anxious to go to the next class!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit is the only way you should work out, this is the gym you should do it at! Passionate, knowledgeable coaches. Answers to lifelong problems solved in weeks. Come check it out!

Fantastic experience: Great place to work out! Very family oriented. The coaches push you enough to reach your goals.

Fantastic experience: Amazing

Fantastic experience: As a 49 year old and really out of shape, I was scared to try CrossFit - turned out to be the BEST decision. Gym is great, coaches are amazing. Been here 1-1/2 years and am stronger and feel better than ever. All ages, all sizes, all skill levels- everyone feels welcome at CrossFit Develop!

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Develop is an awesome gym. The owners genuinely care about every member and create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They focus on good technique and helping everyone to improve from where they are at. The membership is diverse and of many ages and abilities. In six months of attendance I have lost size and a half in women’s letter sizes and made huge gains in strength and fitness. Not only that, but it has dramatically improved my strength and endurance for other things I like to do such as hiking etc.

Fantastic experience: Quality Coaching, Super flexible for your fitness needs! I've only been going to CrossFit Develop for a short while, but coming from previous CrossFit gyms this one seems to stand out! The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time throughout the workout to correct you and your form. They offer Barbell, Gymnastics, Open gym times which is super appealing to those, like myself, who want to improve their skills. They will also be flexible and help you when your battling problematic areas of your body- knowing when and how to scale appropriately. Looking forward to sticking at this gym and seeing where it leads me.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going here several weeks now, and so far I’m happy with it. Not my first time doing CrossFit, but it’s been several years. I Did go back through the on-ramp and thought it was a good class. The instructors are knowledgeable and easy to work with. They place a lot of emphasis on doing the exercises correctly or scaling to meet your skill level, pretty important trait in a coach. The facilities are clean, there’s enough equipment to go around, and the people friendly. What more could you ask for!

Fantastic experience: Chris and Kelly are amazing. Walking in as a guest one day with a friend and never even having seen a cross fit workout was very intimidating. The number of high fives, cheering, and encouraging words from them and the other members was intoxicating. Definitely highly recommend them to ANYONE looking to improve their life and have fun doing it.

Fantastic experience: Awesome programming/coaching, fantastic equipment, superbly clean facilities, and a truly remarkable and friendly member community to boot - what's not to love?!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: All starts with Chris & Kelly (owners), great environment. Best hour of my day.

Fantastic experience: Love this place. Great family atmosphere. Coaches are super knowledgable and supportive!

Fantastic experience: I was first very intimidated by CrossFit because I was intimidated by gyms. But after giving it a try, I realized there is no reason anyone should be intimidated. CrossFit Develop prides themselves on teaching you to develop your fitness. The owners of the gym are a married couple (Chris and Kelly) with 3 children. They work very well together and complement each other’s coaching style which enhances the CrossFit experience. The other coaches of the gym are trained by Chris and Kelly setting expectations for interacting/training the gym members. In other words, the training style amongst the coaches is consistent. This gym is fun, friendly, inviting, clean environment, community oriented and welcomes families. In the 7 months that I have been at CrossFit Develop, I have seen significant results in myself and the progression of others. You will too if you are willing to put in the sweat.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great CrossFit box that cares about their athletes. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: My son who plays football and wrestles in high school had been going for about a month and LOVES it. My 6 year went tonight to a kids crossfit and loved it also...I am sure my husband will be there soon. Very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Positive experience: Great place to workout. Good equipment, awesome community and very clean!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member at CrossFit Develop for just over two years - I’ve lost nearly 20 pounds and gained a confidence and strength within myself I didn’t know I needed. I’m a mom of three elementary-aged kids, a wife and a business owner - I know how busy life is, but it’s much more manageable when you put your physical and mental health first. Chris and Kelly treat everyone who walks through the doors the same - there is no judgment, no exclusivity and no ego. They’re passionate, knowledgeable, kind, and they put their members first. They listen, and then they take action. Becoming a part of this community has been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself - this isn’t just a gym, it’s a lifestyle. Come join us, you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: As a family owned and community built gym, CFD is a gym that exceeds expectations. The community is the perfect mix of competition, fun, and education driven individuals who want to help each other reach star sized goals. It's the perfect place for a moral pick up and to release all the stress and tension of life with friends surrounding you the whole time. The coaching staff has a great variety of skill sets varying from injury prevention, nutrition, competitive training, and real life fitness applications in stressful situations. I highly recommend dropping into a class and promise you will be hooked right away. Also, pay close attention to how clean the gym is because it's one of the cleanest I've been in hands down.

Fantastic experience: If you’re in search of a great place to workout, I highly suggest CrossFit Develop. If you are at all intimidated by CrossFit, this is the place to go. Everyone is super welcoming, and the workouts are very organized. I feel the coaches do a great job at focusing on your individual improvement and developing your skills. The skill section of the workout is one of my favorites because there is always something I want to get better at, and they set time aside for just that. I’ve always loved that CrossFit not only makes you stronger and more fit, but it also changes your mindset to where you have a new belief of what your limits can be.
