Fitness & Gyms in Northbrook, IL

“I’ve had an awesome experience at CrossFit Rally Point Endeavors. The coaches here are knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in helping every athlete improve—whether you're brand‑new to CrossFit or have years of experience. The programming strikes a great balance between strength, conditioning, and skill work, and the coaches always offer clear guidance and smart modifications when needed.

The community is another huge highlight. Everyone is welcoming, supportive, and pushes you in the best way. It’s one of those gyms you actually look forward to showing up to—great energy, great people, and a consistently positive environment.

The facility is clean, organized, and has all the equipment you need to get a high‑quality workout in. If you're looking for a CrossFit gym in the Northbrook area that combines great coaching with an amazing community, Rally Point Endeavors is definitely the place. Highly recommend!”

“If you’re thinking about training here, do it — my only regret is not starting sooner.
I’m a personal trainer who’s coached professional athletes, and after 10 months of Olympic weightlifting with Coach Tim, I’ve made more progress than I ever expected. I started with a 220lb clean & jerk and a 175lb snatch — now I’m doing 300lb clean & jerks and 231lb snatch.

I wake up at 4am to train 8 clients a day and still make it to Tim’s class by 4pm — because it’s that worth it.

I’ve competed in two meets, hit PRs in both, won my session in the first, and took 1st place at Illinois State in the men’s 89kg class in the second.

Coach Tim’s style is highly technical. You earn your heavy weights here. His unique blend of Chinese and Russian Olympic training principles creates a truly next-level approach to the sport.

Classes are group-based, but it feels like 1-on-1 coaching. Everyone follows the same structure, but weights are customized for each lifter. It’s beginner-friendly yet pushes even advanced lifters to level up. The community is also incredible — supportive, hardworking, and welcoming. New lifters thrive here because of that.

Tim holds you accountable. He’s tough in the best way — pushing you to meet your potential. Training with him has transformed not just my lifts, but my mindset. The way he keeps intensity high, reads his athletes, and communicates — it’s clear how much knowledge and passion he brings. He’s forgotten more about weightlifting than most people will ever learn.

The gym itself is well-equipped and even has a recovery room with a cold plunge, sauna, and power plate — a huge asset with how much we train.

Tim also coaches you through competitions and is completely locked in — helping with timing, attempts, and in-the-moment strategy. He knows how to get the best out of you when it matters most.

At the end of the day, he’s not just a coach — he’s someone I trust, respect, and am proud to train under. I was hooked from day one, and I can’t recommend this gym and Coach Tim enough.”

“Love the studio !! Coaches (Lisa, Melissa, Kianna, Kristen, John) and front desk staff (Harrison) are amazing. The community of fellow OTF’ers are super.

Highly recommend this location to stay strong, keep up with fitness goals and build community along the way.”

“This facility is really a community of folks interested in all types of martial arts. The instructors are courteous but work you very hard - I lost 9 pounds in the first 2 weeks. For kids, it really looks like they have a well organized program from Jiu jitzu to wrestling, though my children did not attend these programs directly. I would encourage anyone who has driven by this facility to stop in and meet Master George. It's a bit intimidating meeting a world champion in anything, but you'll see this compound has evolved around his passion for the arts and his genuine interest in peoples' safety and health. It's a great experience.”

“I had a great workout, I was out of breath in a few mins - it was really intense! Louisa is very welcoming and supportive, I appreciate her taking so much time with me for the first time and explaining everything. I felt a little lost at first but she did her best to make me feel comfortable. I will definitely come back to this location.”

“I definitively plan on restarting in the spring when I have more time again and this will be the place I go because I know if I need to stop again they will make it easy for me. Thank you!!!!”

“Absolutely LOVE Fitness Hero!! The coaches and staff are so awesome and really look out for each member, pushing them to be their best. Truly my happy place and don’t know what I’d do without them!”

“Nice gym with proper heating/cooling. Easy setup for sessions and parking enough for ~15 people. Facilities could use a little work and not just be an after thought.”

Great Kids Class As Well, Family Friendly Environment.”

“I sometimes work out here when I am in the area. My usual is Vernon Hills. I find Northbrook to be smaller in terms of equipment and amenities. It's lovely but somewhat limiting. Not my favorite Lifetime location.”

“In general, everything suits me. A little too much chlorine in the jacuzzi because you can really smell it with your nose, but it's tolerable. The only thing I don't understand is why people would want to go to the sauna dressed after the gym, I understand that such people come across, but the administration should explain and write that the sauna is not a gym and you need to dress properly there!!!”
