“The 5 stars are specifically for the manager, Ryan, at CFX. He was incredibly helpful in resolving a situation I needed assistance with. I initially reached out to CFX corporate and unfortunately had a very poor experience with their communication and support. Ryan, on the other hand, was clear, considerate, and quick to respond to my concerns.

Employees like him make a real difference for companies like CFX because his interactions with customers feel genuine and professional. Although I’m no longer with CFX, if I ever decide to return, I would absolutely want Ryan to be the person assisting me.”

“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”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amazing CrossFit gym with great coaches and a very welcoming community. Workouts are challenging but scalable, and the atmosphere keeps you motivated. Highly recommend!”

“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!”

“If you’re looking for a gym that combines serious strength training with a warm, motivating environment, this is it. Highly recommend CrossFit Harwood Heights!”

“I used to go to LA fitness and no matter what time I would go it was always crowded, equipment always out of order, and rude employees .
From the moment I walked in this gym I was welcomed with friendly faces. Switching over to Anytime has completely changed my workout habits. I am able to comfortably workout. I no longer dread going to the gym . The atmosphere here is friendly and so welcoming. I’ve lost over 10 pounds in one month alone . It’s small but everything is always available . If you’re thinking of switching gyms give this one a try!”

“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 moved from Ireland to Chicago for 1 year and joined this gym. It’s a brilliant gym with a really fun community to train with. Very nice and friendly was really comfortable entering for first time. They are well equipped and the workouts are brilliant. Would highly recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone new or experienced in CrossFit, they cater to all levels.”

“I have been coming here for five years and I cannot say enough good things about them! All the managers and coaches are incredible! They have created such a wonderful community and go above and beyond for their members!!!! 10/10”

“I am committed to a healthy lifestyle and anytime gym makes it easy to fit a great workout routine into my busy schedule.

Clean and unpretentious! Love you guys!!”

“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.”

“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’ve been going to The Garage Chicago since July 2025 and can honestly say it’s one of the best fitness spaces I’ve experienced. They seriously hire trainers and coaches from the best of the best!!

I have trained with both Leanna and Sarah for PT sessions. They are always on time, professional, and thoughtfully structured. They keep a steady pace, adjust workouts on the spot when needed, and ensures consistent progression week after week. They are both incredibly knowledgeable and pay attention to what my body needs.

The variety of classes is also a huge plus—everything you need is in one place. I also love not having to bring a yoga mat or towels to the hot classes. The gym itself is the cleanest I’ve ever been in—every area is well maintained. I am grateful to have The Garage in my neighborhood!”

“Strength 101 is a gym built with care, intention, and real expertise. Training with Bryant, you immediately feel supported, capable, and comfortable. He is thoughtful, knowledgeable, and truly meets people where they are, always finding ways to make training accessible and encouraging.

Now that he has his own gym, Strength 101, it’s a pleasure to continue training there. The space reflects who he is, welcoming, intentional, and grounded. I’ve always believed that muscle is vitality, muscle is life, and muscle is key to longevity, and I’m grateful to be part of that journey here.
Can’t wait for what’s ahead! ??”

“Excellent, 24-hour, old-school iron gym. A day pass is $17. They have a little bit of everything from fat-grip dumbbells to belt squat. There are two separate buildings a half block apart. One for upper body and one for lower body.”

“Just started about a month ago I like the location its convenient for me. The app they carry is easy to follow and you can see the workouts in advance. For me this was an easy choice to make instead of going to the gym where everyone is at. The coaches are easy going and walk you step by step”

“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.”

“A wonderful gym, with GREAT Coaches and people. I've lost lbs- and nearly doubled my strength in the time I've spent with Stone Age. I can't recommend them enough!!”

“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 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 my first class this morning. Studio is very clean and well taken care of. I really enjoyed the workout, fantastic for your core, joints, and I felt very loose after. Saundrine was an excellent coach. She was fantastic on the microphone and she said directions that were very easy to understand. I definitely did not feel like the awkward first timer. Highly recommend.”

“Jordan is excellent! My son is a soccer player and Jordan has been a huge part of his success in the last year. Jordan has taught him how to weight lift correctly for his age and body type too, and that has made a huge difference too.”

“How does it start?With an email or a phone call.How does it end?Don’t know. Still going here six months later.Ian and Emily are AMAZING people. That’s easy enough to say, but let me back it up.I took the leap and sent an email to them that I had never really lifted weights. I mostly did cardio exercises. Ian responded promptly and set up a phone call to discuss what goes on at their gym. The first personal training session was free so I tried it.You know that thing that you eat that you can’t put down once you try some. That’s what this was like except way more expensive. It makes you stop and think, but ultimately the question you have to ask yourself is what would you pay to be HEALTHY and HAPPY each week?Ian works with you to create a workout plan that FITS WHAT YOU WANT including workouts for days when you’re at home or your regular gym. He’s there to give you ADVICE on nutrition and eating/drinking right for your goals. It’s up to you on what you decide to do and he doesn’t care whether you take his advice or not. He’s the same regardless. Scheduling is flexible and is done personally via texts. That’s right, you have contact with Ian even when you’re not working out with him and you have normal conversations. HE'S INVESTING HIS TIME IN MAKING YOU A BETTER PERSON.From a workout perspective, there are a variety of workouts that you end up doing and they will repeat. You’re there to get progressive gains over time and the only way to do that is to repeat the workouts on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. When you hit a plateau, he’ll change it up and you’ll do different workouts for a little while. At the end of each session is a random 5 minute variety of exercises that are more intense than the rest of the workout. “The Finisher” as Ian calls them. That said, I’ve never left a workout overly sore to the point where I can’t function the next day. As you do more and more workouts and they repeat, you might ask yourself “Why do I still need to come here?” “Couldn’t I do this myself now?”IT'S NOT JUST A WORKOUT. It’s life, and that’s one of the best parts is the conversations with Ian about anything and everything. Ian has been one of the most influential people in my life. This comes from discussions about future life goals, careers, philosophical questions, book recommendations, etc. The monumental change he’s made in my life from a mental perspective is something he probably doesn’t realize and something I don't know that I can ever overstate. I don’t know that everyone can expect that, but I do know that you can expect the workout you have at i.e. Fitness to be one of the highlights of your week. As I mentioned before he’s invested his time in making you a better person and he will push you to be better. He will give you that motivation to try harder when you don’t want to or think that you can’t do something. He will push you to your limits, but not push you over them.I know what you're thinking. What about Emily? While I've never worked out with her, I've been lucky enough to be at the gym when she's working out with someone or just stopping by the gym. She's a nice person who brings an energetic atmosphere to the gym with a bubbly personality albeit terrible taste in music :). It is thanks to her I have never been more nervous to lose to a six year old kid and I'm pretty sure she's the reason Ian is so great.If you've gotten this far, my RECOMMENDATION to you is to TAKE THAT FIRST FREE SESSION and then decide for yourself what you think is the best thing for you in your life.Have an amazing day!”

“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.”

“After many years at a different gym I took the leap and made the switch and it has been better than I could have imagined!! A great group of people awesome coaches and fantastic and knowledgeable owner who truly cares about his members I already feel like I've grown and learned so much”

“A very nice place to exercise and if you need support you can count on them, apart from a pleasant atmosphere, very clean and good facilities to do any routine ????‍♀️”

“Elite Physique truly provides personalized training at your fitness level using different combinations of exercises across machines and free weights. You are challenged, but the challenge is positive and supportive. The gym itself offers a huge variety of machines and weights in a very clean and friendly environment. I am very happy working on my goals of increasing strength, flexibility, and good health.”
