SoNo Fitness

Fantastic experience: Been going for months now and I'm a big fan. Zoran has been excellent and the class size is limited to ensure personal interactions.

Fantastic experience: Was not looking for a more personal approach to training, but crossfit was the answer to all my prayers! Crossfit Sono is a place where the classes are on the smaller side, but technique always come first. Trainers are awesome and really care about your personal growth. I couldn't see myself going anywhere else, the culture and facility is great!

Fantastic experience: CrossFit may not be for everyone, but I've really jumped on board and CrossFit Sono is a great place to do it. I'll sum up my experience up with three things: - Intense Workouts: The programming is great and will push you to awesome results. - Great Coaching: Zoran and the other coaches do a great job of keeping the workouts challenging, but still able to have some fun. - Great Community: There really is a great group of people there and it really is one of my favorite parts of not only this gym, but of CrossFit. I'd 100% recommend CrossFit Sono whether you're just starting out and not sure about it or if you've been doing it for years.

Fantastic experience: I came to Chicago in May from a different state & a different box...I didn't think I'd be able to come close to the experience I had at my old box...but to my surprise I found CF SoNo! Great people, dedicated/FUN instructors, & intimate class environment. 1. The owner & instructors pay close attention to your individual ability & gains...they push you but they let you modify based on your needs. 2. It's really something special when you walk into a box expecting a great workout but walk out feeling a sense of community & legitimately PROUD/happy you went! SO happy I found such a great box :)

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing! Everyone one I've met make me feel like I've known them for years! I love this place!

Fantastic experience: I dropped in while visiting and had a great class. Diverse clientele, attentive coaching, nice equipment, and a welcoming positive environment. Wish I could come back more often!

Fantastic experience: This gym is your answer!! It has changed my life and the way I look at fitness and my overall well being. It's also an amazing community. Come as you are and be celebrated!

Fantastic experience: I dropped into Sono this past weekend and had a great experience. Chris is an awesome instructor and the workout was challenging but fun! Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you are interested in joining a great community of people and want to be pushed to get more out of your time at the gym.

Fantastic experience: Such a positive environment. Zoran is a great teacher and the other class attendees were so friendly - will definitely be back!

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic! Although the floor space is not huge, they have a variety of equipment including dozens of barbells, racks, bumper plates, kettlebells, bands, rowers, boxes, etc. all in great condition. There are two bathrooms and a water dispenser. I dropped in for a few days from out of town, and all the members and coaches were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The workouts are brutal, but the coaches emphasize good technique and safety. Overall I had a great experience here and I highly recommend anyone in the area to check it out.

Fantastic experience: Moved to Chicago in August and decided to join a crossfit gym, I am MORE than pleased with my decision to join the Sono crew. If you’re looking for community, motivation, education, and mediocre dad jokes that get repeated with each new training cycle... look no further fam!

Fantastic experience: This place is the best. The programming is challenging (yet approachable for beginners), the coaches are engaged and knowledgeable, and the community to second to none. Prior to joining SoNo, I was strictly a solo exerciser who stuck to long sessions on the cardio machines. Z and his gym have totally changed that. I’m in the best shape of my life and actually look forward to working out for the first time. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Fantastic experience: Almost 5 years strong at this place of fitness. Would not trade it for the world. Top notch coaching and equipment.

Fantastic experience: Best gym ever

Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. From day one I felt very welcomed and part of the community. Sono is the antithesis of what you might expect from a fitness studio: the coaches are approachable, the workouts are accessible and the other members are fun & friendly. I couldn’t speak more positively about my experience with Coach Z and his team.

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about Sono. When I started here 5 years ago, I had never picked up a weight in my life. I thought I would feel completely out of place during my first class. Instead, I was welcomed and pushed to do things I never thought I could do. The coaches are great- motivating and always making sure you are doing things correctly and with the appropriate weight. Highly recommend- especially for someone new to weight training.

Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Sono Fitness for 1.5 years, and it is truly the best gym! I started working out consistently 2 years ago and have tried several different fitness studios and gyms - including yoga sculpt classes at Core Power and a few training gyms, one of which also trained many NBA and NFL players. None have compared to Sono Fitness. Unlike other gyms I've tried, the coaches at Sono ensure you learn proper form to prevent injury AND also motivate you to push yourself to do things you've never been able to do! I've had several moments at Sono where I didn't think I could do something, but was motivated by coach Z to try and surprised myself! The great thing about the group workouts is that each movement can be catered to the individual, whether you're a beginner or veteran. There is always a "prescribed" option and an alternative, scaled option for every movement. The workouts are also complemented with an app that allows you track your performance and see how others at the gym performed as well. It's a great way to monitor your progress over time! The community at Sono is also great with a great group of athletes. I'm inspired every day by so many others! Whether you're a beginner looking for a gym that will help you learn the basics and help you grow at your own pace, or a veteran looking for a gym that will help take your fitness to a whole new level, Sono Fitness is the perfect gym!

Fantastic experience: Been going to Sono for over 4 years now. The people and community are amazing! Looking forward to the next 4 years!!!!

Fantastic experience: Discovered my passion for fitness at Sono! A huge thank you to Zoran and his team for creating a welcoming environment to learn and grow as an athlete. Such a great place with great people.

Fantastic experience: This gym is incredible, plain and simple. The coaches are knowledgeable and truly committed to helping you improve as an athlete. The environment is welcoming and the members are encouraging. If you are looking for fun small group fitness classes that will continue to push your performance levels, this is the place for you. It also doesn't hurt that the head coach, Z, got jokes (sometimes).

Fantastic experience: Crossfit Sono has a great positive atmosphere with coaches who are extremely knowledgeable. I’ve been to a few boxes and settled here bc of the better and more intimate classes. I’ve always felt welcomed since day 1.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to SoNo for almost two years, making it the longest I've committed to anything in years (ha!) and the longest I've committed to fitness ever. On the days I go to class, my hour in the gym is literally the only hour of my day that I am not worried, anxious, or preoccupied. The space is small, but has everything you need to get a great workout in. Class size is limited to 14 people, which means you get a lot of one-on-one attention and feedback from coaches to help improve your technique. Coaches are knowledgable and helpful, and the overall community is inclusive, friendly, and down-to-earth. Even if you're the last one to finish, everyone stays to cheer you on. They also offer nutrition and massage services. There are also small things I really appreciate, like extra hair ties in the bathroom and phone charges. Lastly, the value really cannot be beat. The different packages are very competitively priced. I did the foundations classes at a different gym over a year before finding SoNo. New members at that gym had to do private sessions that ran $75/session(!), their monthly packages were twice the price of SoNo's, and their community was a bunch of Navy Seal wannabes.

Fantastic experience: I can say emphatically that joining Sono Fitness/Crossfit Sono has been/is/will be one of the top ten decisions I have made in my life. The atmosphere is warm, inviting and friendly. Which is important since I am shy about being the token "fat person" in a room with fit people and all their abs. If you are reading this and worrying about how you'll fit in. Just show and you will. This is one of the few places I've been in my life where you are cheered and supported by everyone including your betters or those weaker than you. No one ever wants to see you fail and everyone wants to see you succeed even at their own expense. #glowingrecommendation #littlesliceofheaven

Fantastic experience: SoNo is the best gym I have ever been. Good coaching and community, you feel like they care about you and how you perform.

Fantastic experience: Sharing some high praise for the place I have called my fitness home for the past five years. Zoran and the coaching team have been nothing but knowledgable and encouraging. Even outside of the gym, they have shown great compassion and support. So grateful to have found wonderful friends and personal transformation through Sono Fitness. Looking forward to continuing my fitness journey here.

Fantastic experience: I travel frequently and try out Crossfit gyms, and none compare to SoNo. The community built on the shoulders (and personalities!) of the incredible coaching staff will keep you coming back for years.

Fantastic experience: Excellent coaching and community. Coaches always focus on form and technique, instead of pushing people to hurt themselves. Jokes are mad corny though.

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym! I've been to a few different crossfit gyms and sono exceeds my expectations. Excellent coaching and such a great community. The owner really cares about his members and all the coaches really pay close attention to you during classes . Highly recommend if you are looking to get in shape with fun workouts!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this gym enough for anyone looking to change their life. The coaching and support here is second to none. I started with no knowledge of cross fit but the great coaching has motivated me to keep learning.

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaching, athletes and atmosphere! Just did a drop in and got my butt whooped! Highly suggest!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Crossfit Sono. Best box in town! Coach Chris is very inspiring and gives individual attention to every person. His techniques to teach workouts (like cleans) are awesome. All the coaches are highly trained, professional and best at what they do. If you are new to crossfit, you need to visit CF Sono.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing crossfit for 4-5 years and have dropped into many different gyms while traveling. I love coming to Chicago and dropping in at Crossfit SoNo. I always get a good workout (which I can't say about other gyms I've visited) and they've always been very accommodating (they have open gym hours after some morning classes and have happily let me stay after class to do some additional lifting or accessory work). The space is limited (although they do have showers, which is awesome) so make sure to email before you try to show up (each time I've emailed them I've received a response very quickly).

Fantastic experience: I have been with Crossfit Sono for almost a year now and have been blown away by the results! Sono comes equipped with the best coaches in Chicago! The classes are no bigger than 14 people which leads to constant 1 on 1 coaching and motivation! Classes are an hour long where you stretch and mobilize, do some strength and conditioning, and finish it off with a great workout designed to get your heart rate up, build strength and endurance, and overall build a better you! I started in the beginner class, where everything was slowed down. The lifts and movements we're broken down to their simplest form with very little to no weight (empty bar). Then proceed to do a scaled workout. Sonox is designed to make you sweat! No barbells - pure endurance and conditioning! Plus you get a great community of athletes who cheer each other on, have fun, and encourage. LBGTQ friendly too! Hope to see you there!!!
