“What a gem of gym? I've had a number of gym memberships from the low cost Planet Fitness-type gyms of the world to the fancy-pants FFC's of the world and its no competition, Ferrara Pan Fitness Factory is my favorite hands down for a number of reasons:#1 its just a really cool, industrial yet modern gym. Portraits of great athletes and service-folks line the walls. I feel like Rocky Balboa when I walk in.#2 its not a chain, its local: the staff really care about its success. They keep it really clean.#3 family oriented: Kids are welcome. Many kids taking boxing classes while mom or dad is working out.#4 the variety and diversity of people that workout (the members): a variety of fitness-levels from professional body-builders to boxers to just moms and dads and their kids trying to loose some weight. Young people, old people, men, women, and children. It's just a gem.#5 all the trainers are so nice and so helpful and just amazing whether or not you are training with them or not#6 all the classes are amazing (boxing can be intimidating for beginners but they make the experience super welcoming)#7 tons of resistance training equipment: racks, benches, tons of free-weights, essential machines, just a ton of room, machines, and equipment for just about every exercise you need to do. They even have a set of gymnastics rings hanging from the ceiling with plenty of space to do whatever.#8 tons of cardio equipment: Regular treadmills, curved no-motor treadmills, 2 types of bikes (some with rowing), row machines, pull-down row machines, plenty of jump ropes, weighted vests and you won't believe how many heavy bags are available: you can even borrow boxing gloves to hit the bags with.#9 a full-size boxing ring. Yes, an actual professional ring.#10 opens early (4AM)#11 reasonably priced#12 It's a hidden gem: You can't tell from the outside how big the place is inside.”

“I love the German Forest Park. It’s very clean and there’s more chess workout equipment so you can get a good chest workout. The only thing I don’t like about it is the staff is not as friendly as they were when I first joined the gym. It seems like they greet you when you come in, but they don’t greet you when you come out and if you’re not known by the staff, they don’t really talk or interact with you but they at least can say bye when you’re leaving or have a good day thank you for coming in. I know that’s a big part of my job. I work at Ace Hardware and I’m a store manager and customer service one of the biggest part of my job so maybe they can work on that but other than that I don’t have any issue with the gym. It’s a really good gym I like it.”

“I have so many positive thoughts about this place I don’t know where to start. This is easily the best gym I’ve been to since I started working out in 2016. The community and staff are unmatched, truly feels like a big family. From the day I walked in seeking a membership I felt extremely welcomed. As a female it’s hard finding gyms where you feel respected and not stared at by creepy old dudes and I immediately noticed a difference in mentality here. Everyone has a mutual respect for one another, everyone reracks their weights/cleans equipment. They have some newer booty builder equipment that isn’t found many other places as well as a posing room! The ONLY reason I left was we due to relocation issues and I’m so upset I had to leave ? this gym has me contemplating an hour drive just to be back somewhere I feel happy calling home”

“I’ve been a member of Coalition for a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The entire team is amazing—knowledgeable, supportive, and truly invested in helping members improve. The instructors bring both expertise and enthusiasm to every class, ensuring a great workout while also making real-time adjustments to movements when needed. Their attention to detail and commitment to proper form make a huge difference.

Beyond the workouts, what really sets Coalition apart is its culture. The environment is welcoming, inclusive, and motivating, making it a place where all fitness levels can thrive. It’s clear that the community here is built on progress, encouragement, and growth. I’m looking forward to many more years as part of this incredible gym!”

“This gym was my personal intro to CrossFit. I had been out of a fitness routine for many years since having two kiddos. They made it accessible, low key and fun to get started. It’s inspiring to see folks of all ages and fitness levels supporting one another and pushing their bodies to build towards personal goals. I am almost two months in and so happy with my progress. I recommend this gym to anyone but especially those with a positive attitude who want a very nice community to get stronger with! ????”

“If I can give this club a higher star, I would! I joined think fit not too long ago and it’s the only gym that finally brought motivation into my life again to begin my fitness journey! Zee, the owner of the club, is absolutely amazing and makes everyone feel welcome! By far, the cleanest gym in the suburb! I recommend Think Fit to everyone! If you’re looking to get motivated and fit asap, think fit is the club for you.”

“Was traveling into town for a trade show & hit up Rockwell Barbell. If you're a strength sport enjoyer this is the gym for you. All the competition equipment an athlete could look for from calibrated plates to fun gear like bands & chain Rockwell has it all. Lawrence was easy to deal with and his gym is a personification of his support of strength sports. Any gear or equipment you can need (boards for bench?) is abundant, didn't have to wait for a single item. If you're debating the trip to get there.... don't, you won't regret it. If you like jacking steel, it's the place to be in Chicago!”

“I recently attended a class at Moonshot CrossFit and while it pushed me out of my comfort zone and left me feeling some soreness, I had an absolute blast. The class was well-designed, with a good balance of cardio and strength exercises. What truly stood out, though, was the ownership's enthusiasm and support. They created a welcoming atmosphere and encouraged everyone to give their all. Despite the pain, I left feeling accomplished and eager to return for more. Highly recommend!”

“I’m a “scaled athlete” and feast is a great fit for me. Many friendly, interesting people here. The facility is very well equipped, well maintained, spotless. This is not an accident - the entire staff is experienced, responsive, professional.

Feast is the gold standard.”

“I was never someone who enjoyed fitness—in fact, even walking up a flight of stairs would leave me winded. But OrangeTheory completely changed that for me. It’s the only workout program that’s kept me motivated, consistent, and actually excited to show up.

Coach Hector is phenomenal. His energy is contagious, and his encouragement pushes you to go further than you thought possible. Walking into one of his classes is truly an experience—there’s a vibe that lifts you the moment you step in.

Coach Kaci is equally incredible. Her passion for what she does shines through every class. She’s always supportive, attentive, and ensures you’re doing the exercises safely and effectively.

The workouts deliver real results, but what sets OrangeTheory apart is the amazing community. You’re not just joining a gym—you’re meeting inspiring coaches and connecting with new friends who cheer you on every step of the way.”

“I started to train with Crossfit Chisel, for about a month (on and off due to work schedule). It such a great community. Alot of the coaches and other folks make you feel comfortable. You get great support from others.
I never did a focus crossfit gym, so I was nervous to attend. I appreciate how the coaches don't rush you into getting the routine or complete the routine fast. To gradually build your endurance and strength. They want you to learn each routine/exercise, to take your time on each class session.focus on your own goals and not others.

Being there for a month I see great results. And continue to attend. To better my health for myself and family.”

If you are in the area and looking for a place to drop in, this is the spot! Scott, the owner is a nice to work with too; really friendly and helpful.”

“Absolutely the best ? I'm a law student at UIC and my schedule is very busy. I tried going to workouts but I never enjoyed going to the gym until F45. The trainers are awesome. Shout out to Yoshelin, Sandro and Sanjay who I had a pleasure to meet so far. My favorite day is Wednesday since it's cardio day and that's my favorite type of workout, but they have a lot of different types of workouts. If you haven't checked them out yet, I would highly recommend it.”

“CrossFit Park Ridge is easily one of the best gyms I’ve ever been part of. The environment is super motivating and welcoming. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy. The community is amazing! Everyone’s friendly, encouraging, and genuinely wants to see each other succeed.

The programming is excellent. It’s well thought out, challenging, and can be adapted to any fitness level. You’ll get stronger, faster, and more confident with every workout. The coaches are great too! knowledgeable, supportive, and always paying attention to form and safety.

The equipment is in great condition and really well taken care of. The space is clean, organized, and there’s even a good outdoor area for runs, which adds something extra to the workouts.

One thing I really appreciate is how many class times they offer. There are a lot of early morning options, which makes it easy to stay consistent no matter what your schedule looks like.

Overall, this is a great place to train, meet solid people, and push yourself. If you’re thinking about trying CrossFit or switching gyms, I highly recommend!”

“This is a family owned and operated gym, which helps to create a very unique vibe. There is a very connected, neighborhoody feel about this gym. This atmosphere, which has been cultivated by owners, staff, and area patrons, is difficult to replicate in a big-box, chain gym. Aside from the overall vibe, I like that the people at Elite are upfront with regard to their pricing. There are no guessing games. Their rates are listed on their Web site. They also offer a ten punch card so you can try out the gym before you make a commitment. Those who workout at Elite seem to be connected members of the local community. I find that the clientele is friendly, respectful, and fitness-focused. Lastly, the gym is located in a very cute area of Western Springs. There are several local businesses nearby that you can visit before or after a workout. It's also important to note that parking has never been an issue for me at Elite.”

“Found out about CTF from Kadence through a networking opportunity - Wow! I just completed my first week at RV location - staff is so inclusive and welcoming to new and existing members (which are also so supportive and assist you as well). BIG shout out to Steve and Drew for making my first class/week a positive and solid start on my fitness journey! Thanks y'all”
