University Ave CrossFit^®

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to work out. I came from out of town as a drop in. Everyone was very nice, friendly and welcoming. Did not feel intimidated at all. Workout was super. I was sore for about 2 days. Coach Amber was super welcoming and friendly. She looks very fit and knows what she is doing. Would definitely come back every time I am in town. Price is also good and fair. If you are in town and want a good workout this is where you should come.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff who work there are friendly and helpful. They're striving to keep the gym very clean and open during this sometimes difficult COVID era!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to work out. Perfect atmosphere and quality equipment. The staff and coaches are also very welcoming and talented!

Experiencia fantástica: If I could give it 6 stars, I would. The staff are beyond friendly and personable. Most importantly, they are also amazing at what they do. Then of course there are the other members. Having a good group of people to workout with you is just as necessary. They keep you working hard and accountable. The people I have met here are a diverse mixture of people with all types of occupations and it couldn't make for a better community. P.S. I'm a student at UIUC and think it's a great addition to my school lifestyle.

Experiencia fantástica: I trained here for 2 years. I came in without prior any weightlifting and took the foundations class which I highly recommend and regularly attended morning classes. Now, I'm much stronger, cardiovascularly fitter, and my mobility/flexibility have improved considerably. The coaches always make sure form/technique is consistent throughout, keep the workouts fun and bring a positive energy to class. Classes sizes are small enough that you'll have some degree of personalized attention. The gym and facilities (locker room and showers) are always extremely clean and the equipment is top-notch.

Experiencia fantástica: Low pressure, friendly, supportive people. Good place.

Experiencia fantástica: Best crossfit gym I have ever been to. The space and equipment are top notch. Everything is so clean. Coaches are super helpful and always push you to achieve your goals. They come up with super fun team/partner workouts and games that cant be found at other boxes. The owner is very passionate about the box which can be easily seen. The community is super nice. Working out here feels like going to a party, that you definitely dont wanna miss out on!

Experiencia fantástica: I've never tried crossfit before I came to this gym. The foundation course is great to get you started. I've learned a lot and got so much stronger over the past six months. Everyone's so friendly and encouraging. I'm really grateful to be part of the community :)

Experiencia fantástica: absolutely an amazing gym. coaches are very friendly and helpful! really enjoyed my drop in here!

Experiencia fantástica: Genuinely nice coaches. Super clean gym. The coaches wrote Christmas cards... Never seen such nice coaches. Highly recommend this gym.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to go! I dropped in as an out of Towner wearing all OU apparel and was welcomed with open arms. Had a great, encouraging workout and everybody treated me like a great friend. This box is clean and fresh with all of the equipment you may need!

Experiencia fantástica: Great vibe and even better people!

Experiencia fantástica: Going to university crossfit is much better than just watching Netflix or playing Xbox . Inspired me towards fitness. Just step in, yeah, you all belongs to instructors!!

Experiencia fantástica: I came in from out of town and did a drop in at this gym and was very impressed how clean it was. This is probably the nicest gym I have been in! The coach was very knowledgeable and did a great job explaining the movements.

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first ever crossfit experience and I have to say it has been awesome! This review will address some of the fears I had about getting into crossfit and some unexpected things I found through UAve Crossfit, Crossfit promotes bad form for reps - I had read and watched videos berating crossfit in general for its focus on reps and not on form. If you're a newcomer (probably even experienced), the coaches stress on form and scaling the weight based on form, rather than pushing for load. This has been extremely helpful for a novice like me. There are clinics to help with form and the coaches are always approachable. Location - For a university student like me without a car, going to crossfit boxes in Urbana-Champaign wasn't feasible due to time and distance. UAve is walking distance from most student apartments and that's been extremely convenient. Price - For someone living off a student stipend, I was wary of the monthly cost. With the discounts available and my own regularity, I find that it is extremely worth it for the health benefits (better sleep, better conditioning and more!). Community - I've never been an extremely social person and yet I've met some amazing people so far. There are people from all backgrounds and ages. Everyone I have met so far have been friendly and a blast to workout with! There's no real feeling of self-consciousness and its easy to focus and have fun in a group workout. Sorry for the long review! Hope it is helpful.
