“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing CrossFit gym with great coaches and a very welcoming community. Workouts are challenging but scalable, and the atmosphere keeps you motivated. Highly recommend!”
“I've known Coach Alex and Dania for about 8 years now, and I can't forget to mention Rudy and Khalid! I've trained with them on and off throughout the years, and I always find myself coming back. From the moment you walk into the gym, they make you feel like family and genuinely care about helping you get better! Their knowledge, experience, and teaching ability are truly top-notch. Whether you're just starting your Jiu Jitsu journey or looking to take your training to the next level, you're in great hands here! I would give them 10 out of 10 stars! P.S. Dont tell them when it's your Birthday ??”
“My experience at Fit Code has been very welcoming so far! The workouts are just the right amount of challenge I need! The instructors are very patient and take the time to modify if requested.”

“I’ve been coming intermittently for over 10 years to different studios. Hinsdale is by far my favorite. Everyone is very friendly and welcoming. It truly feels like a community! I look forward to going twice a week.”
“If you are looking for a new fitness studio, look no further. Chris creates such a positive workout environment. He’s very helpful and I highly recommend him for personal training.”
“Dr.Ryan is so knowledgeable. He has an evidence approach (labs)to functional medicine. But also thinks outside the box.He treats everyone individually, listens and shares helpful information about overall health.”
“the best local family owned gym in the area! So clean, hands on staff and love that there is something for everyone, even kids!! Matt and Paola are amazing at they do. You can tell they put all their heart and soul into their business. Anyone with any fitness level will love this gym. You feel the contagious positive energy as soon as you walk in. Also really love how friendly everyone is, clients and employees. Really feels like one big family everytime we stop in! So thankful for this local gem!”
“Great workouts! I love how you can track your progress on benchmarks. I also love how you can see how many calories you’re burning and splat points you’ve earned during the class. Staff and instructors are great. 2G classes are my favorite.”
“I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Fitcode. From the quality of the workouts to the welcoming atmosphere and supportive coaches, it has been an excellent experience overall. I’ve taken classes with several different coaches and every one of them has been professional, encouraging and motivating.”
“I started at this gym a few months ago as someone who hadn’t been in the gym in many years. The classes have been a great way to get back into a gym routine. I’ve taken classes with Coach Alex, Patsy, Jordan, and Danny. They’ve all been great so far and I highly recommend a class if you don’t know where to start.”
“I absolutely love working out in the wonderful atmosphere that Ian and Emily provide. They make sure I’m doing everything safely and to my capabilities, being that I am one of their older clients. It can be hard work, but it’s fun every step of the way!”
“Stone Age gym is outstanding!! The coach-led workouts are incredibly well run. Every session is structured, motivating, and pushes you to improve while still focusing on proper form and safety. The coaches are knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in helping everyone get better. On top of that, the team atmosphere is amazing. Everyone is supportive, welcoming, and it really feels like a community. Whether you’re new to CrossFit or experienced, this is the kind of place that keeps you coming back. Highly recommend!”
“I have been coming to BBC westmont for a little over 2 months and I am IN LOVE! The trainers are incredibly personable and high energy. AND free child watch that my kids love going to… Worth every penny!!!!”
“This place is a sick old style gym.
Has lots of barbells, enough racks, maybe too much cardio. Only saw one deadlift zone and it seem tight for space. But it's still a great gym
Cheap daypass.”

“I had an Anytime Fitness membership when I lived out of state, but after moving back, I was considering switching to a different gym altogether. Once I started going to the Westchester location, I changed my mind. It’s not the closest gym to my house, but I genuinely enjoy going there enough to make the drive.
The staff is incredibly kind, personable, and genuinely invested in the people who come in. They add an extra layer of accountability beyond just motivating yourself, whether that’s checking in on your goals, encouraging you, or noticing when you haven’t been around in a few days. It feels good to know you’re not just another membership number.
The gym is always clean, comfortable, and welcoming. The staff genuinely seems happy to be there and enjoy what they do, which creates such a positive atmosphere. It speaks volumes that this gym is not the most convenient option for me, but it is still the one I choose to go to.”

“I came to USA Gym wanting to build a stage-worthy physique.
Chuck heard that and immediately declared war on my body.
Now I’m stronger, my glutes have their own zip code, and my grocery bill is 90% chicken.
Five stars. 10/10. 2 thumbs up. Highly recommend.
Also Michelle is a bombshell and is my gym crush.”
“If I miss a class at Southside Knockout, I don’t just miss the workout; I miss the camaraderie and the people. It’s the perfect mix of fun and hard work. The ownership is fantastic, and the trainers are AMAZING. It’s more than a workout. It’s a community that keeps you coming back.”

“This is my favorite movement gym. I love how many routes there are and how tall they are. Nice staff, clean, great hours. It was really quiet and open when I went on a Monday.”
“I can say that Midtown isn't just a gym, but a club where you feel like you belong—with attentive staff, many wonderful coaches, and a super pleasant atmosphere for making new friends.”
“Very kind front desk staff, the older gentleman always is chipper and has a smile on his face when I have any questions, or when I purchase my smoothie and chips before OT/PT in the therapy section of the gym
On a side note, the occupational and physical therapists are all very kind people, and will work with you to get you better.
They are happy to chat as well, and keep me on track if I get too talkative. I'm very bad with names, but there's 2 occupational therapists I really enjoy working with, both kind ladies. Nick is a fantastic physical therapist, you're in great hands with him, especially.
All around, a great place, I can't wait to go to the class they offer after therapy. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to afford the gym membership
10/10
Edited to give the female OT therapists some love too. Their names are Morgan and Michelle
I've worked with others here, too, they are all awesome, but these 3 stand out! Thank y'all for making recovery easier and manageable 💕”
“So far, so good.
The biggest win here is how light the crowd is in the mornings — a huge difference compared to city gyms. You can actually get your workout in without waiting on machines or feeling rushed.
Planet Fitness has everything you need for a solid sweat and an efficient workout. While there’s no sauna or steam room (which is standard for PF locations), the gym is well-equipped for getting in, getting out, and staying consistent.
If you’re looking for a no-frills gym with minimal morning traffic and all the essentials, this location gets the job done.”
“I love that they offer high schoolers a place to train. My son is only on his second month and loves it. He’s training in boxing as a hobby and does track and cross country at school, so this gym is a great place for him to train not only for boxing but cross country & track. Keeps him busy especially during off seasons. Great gym and coach’s and staff! Gym is well kept and clean and they’re always trying to improve it in anyway possible.”
