CrossFit Des Plaines is a great gym with a huge space, fully equipped with all needed equipment including air runners and ski ergs. It offers both CrossFit and Hyrox programming. The community is awesome, supportive, and welcoming, with a great mix of ages and members. From the first class, newcomers feel comfortable and not out of place, even without a CrossFit background. The coaches are amazing, helpful, and kind, providing modifications and pushing members to be better every day. The energy, music, and encouragement are excellent. Many see incredible results. It is highly recommended for anyone to drop in or join.
The gym is incredibly welcoming, has a strong community, and is home to some seriously high-level athletes - a rare combination. It also has every piece of equipment you could want. I was especially excited to find a Ring Thing to work on my strict ring muscle-ups :)

Dropped in here for a couple of days while visiting family! Coach Carl was awesome - gave me great cues on improving my snatch. Gym is a decent size with everything you need - definitely would drop in here again while in area!

Been attending a little over a month. I was welcomed by everyone and didn't feel out of place even though I didn't know what I was doing. The classes offer me modifications as I get stronger. Love it here! Coaches teach and push me to be better everyday
