Dropped into this gym and I was so impressed. Equipment was well kept, the space was clean and organized and the coaching was top notch. Byron demo’d the movements, knew his members capabilities and had awesome energy. If you’re looking to try out a CrossFit gym, I’d highly recommend this place.

Not all gyms have the same atmosphere and community, so I tried out multiple gyms in Chicago. Bluprint Fitness/Chi-Town CrossFit is THE BEST gym in the area. I was welcomed with open arms and a lot of enthusiasm to a new group of friends that make me excited to attend classes! They offer a full week trial to let you see first-hand if you like the gym with NO commitments. I recommend anyone looking for a gym to try the week trial at Bluprint! Less

I've dropped in at Bluprint a few times now when visiting Chicago, and it's always been a great experience--a friendly community, terrific coaches, and challenging workouts. I'll be dropping in again!

A great community of Crossfitters! Everyone from coaches to members are supportive, fun, and positive people that really motivate you get stronger and fitter with every Bluprint class.

This is the most welcoming community you will ever find in a box. From the members to the coaches, the minute you walk in the door you are greeting with a warm smile and hello.

You are challenged and cheered for as a group and as an individual here. Byron and Janelle are amazing owners and coaches. They are truly invested in all of their members but I must give a big SHOUT OUT to MaryRuth. I’ve attended her coached classes the most and she is so thorough with her intent in making sure you’re doing what your capable of. She sees when you are struggling and gives you instruction and understanding on how to make adjustments so you improve. They just moved to a new location still in West Town. It’s super spacious and they have everything you’re looking for in a box. Less

There's a reason Bluprint only has 5 star reviews: it's truly a 5-star gym, with 5-star coaches and programing, and 5-star members. Thanks for making being active accessible and fun.

I have been going to Bluprint for 4 years, and it is the best part of my day! I love waking up and starting my day off right, with a great exercise and even better people!

I had been community to my old gym up north for years but knew I had to make the change to a closer gym. Community was number one for me as I find that the biggest motivation in the gym. Bluprint coaches and members welcomed me with open arms. The space itself has tons of room with all the top equipment you want in the box. The programing is a great balance of endurance and lifting. There are tons off class times and open gym options that work with my schedule. I am so happy to be part of this gym and community! Less

I've been going to Bluprint for about a month. I've found the coaches to be knowledgeable and supportive. The members and community is also super welcoming. Come check it out!

I have seen a significant transformation not just physically but mentally, which was even more important to me. I see the right long term habits being built & self accountability established. Go BluCrue! Less

I love everything about Bluprint Fitness. Their coaches are very knowledgeable; they helped me achieve skills safely and pretty early on in their program! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the space is always clean, organized and their equipment is in excellent condition. Highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I went in to check out the gym and their membership fee which was crazy.

My girlfriend and I went in to check out the gym and their membership fee which was crazy.

What are your goals, what do you wanna accomplish, what do you do for a living. We just wanted to get the price, not like we weigh 400 pounds. We both in excellent shape better shaped than the person asking the questions. I don't like pushy sell tactics trying to get us to sign up with stuff we don't need. I felt I was being profiled the minute I step into the door with my white girlfriend. Less

If your a person of color. You will be treated very rude and mean. They act as if I can't afford the membership.

Bluprint Fitness has been an incredible addition / much needed evolution of my workout routine. The detail and dedication that their team puts into the weekly workouts (and recovery) has been game changing for me, and I'm only 3 months in! I no longer need to waste energy thinking about how to workout, and instead can focus on maximizing my workout. Can't wait to see my results after a year :)

I came across bluprint on Instagram and I'm so glad I did. I have seen great improvement in my body strength, gains and I lost weight. I love that the coaches motivate you and explain all the workout movements. Here they have work outs for every level. And the accountability keeps me coming back.

In just a short 6 weeks period, I improved on many areas, lost body fat percentage, and boosted my confidence to keep going forward. Highly recommend anyone interested in getting back in shape after slow or no results at a regular gym, this gym actually makes you want to go and get the workout done. So glad I participated in this amazing gym.

A great gym with very knowledgable owners and attentive coaches!

Bluprint is really a special place. Sure, I’ve gotten in better shape since joining but I’ve also made friends, become more confident, and improved my mental well being by being a member. The coaches hold you accountable to staying safe while pushing you to do more than you think you can and the community of members is supportive regardless of what stage of your fitness journey you’re in.

Easily the best gym I've ever been to. The coaches here are incredibly nice (and hilarious) but also give great instruction and motivation. The community here is also very tight knit & welcoming, I am incredibly thankful for Bluprint.

FLEXIBLE HOURS, EXTREMELY REASONABLE PRICING, SHOWERS, and the most frigin’ cute mascot pup ever… But this place really shines in it’s supportive member community. I’m 50 & reasonably good health. I never did cross fit before. I swam in high school, cycled, ran and then discovered rowing in my late 40’s. I was never a compulsive athlete and incorporated moderate physical activity in my daily life. I tore my mcl in my right knee twice.But as I got older I noticed my mobility was freezing up, my endurance weakened, and I felt a lesser version of my younger self. A big reservation about CrossFit was my preconceived notion of Bro gym culture.That was dispelled ASAP: at least half the members are women. Body types range from the extremely athletic who’ve been doing it for years to people like me who just began. Everyone is understanding and encouraging- the only person I’m competing with as myself. Since joining just over two months ago, I’ve gained strength, mobility and endurance. Do I have the 6 pack and bulging biceps? Nope, but If I continue on course I’ll keep getting stronger and my body will gradually adjust. Mad props to Byron & Janelle for opening Blueprint fitness. Less

Great gym with coaches who not only encourage you to reach your full potential, but guide you in the process of doing the movement correctly to prevent injury. Never new the importance of mobility and cool down but grateful to have it apart of the daily schedule/routine.

Bluprint fitness is the best; hands down! I hadn't worked out in a few years and was looking for a solution that would change that; insert Bluprint (Byron, Janelle and their team of coaches). Next thing you know, it has been almost 2.5 years - I am stronger than ever before, going to the gym more than ever before; but more importantly - I am more accountable to myself than ever before.

Bluprint is not just about the workout - they really challenge you to look at your whole health, working out included! The coaches really focus on you being safe and confident in your movements which is so crucial. I cannot say enough about the community - welcoming, encouraging and overall wonderful humans :)

Bluprint is a gym for everyone, no matter skill level, age, shape, or size.

I started going to Bluprint in April of 2021 as a way to put some structure around my fitness goals. The well structured workouts push you and the coaches motivate in the best ways. Now - if I don't make it to the gym, it feels like something's missing from my day. Highly recommended for anyone who is serious about putting in the work.

I LOVE Blupint! Impossible to overstate how great a gym it is--dedicated coaches, thorough and thoughtful programming, and fun and friendly members. So happy to have found such a wonderful place to close to home. Bluprint has definitely helped me stay sane and healthy these past couple of years.

Overall Bluprint is a welcoming community with strong programming focused on progressive overload to hit your PRs! Less

Weights were new to me and intimidating, but the coaches at Bluprint have done a great job of modifying workouts and explaining how to perform moves properly! There's also a variety of ages and body types that initially attracted me to crossfit, and that is definitely reflected at Bluprint! If you're looking for a gym, this place is worth a try!

There's a reason why this gym has 5 stars. From the warm greetings to the cleanliness of the facility, this place can easily change it's name to BluFamily. Everytime you step in this gym it's just like walking in the door to your family.

BPF coaches know their stuff down the line on the lifts & movement technique. I like the detail-oriented instruction & personal attention in every class, which always seem to pinpoint a refinement in technique to help with consistent gradual gains. Great vibe, good tunes, fun camaraderie at BPF makes it easy to show up every day to get in a good lift & WOD.

I joined BluPrint in April of this year. At first, I was very nervous to join a "Crossfit" gym. I had belonged to a Crossfit gym many years ago and had previously loved it, but given how out of shape I felt, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to keep up in class. From day one, the coaches and other athletes made me feel welcome and I could tell immediately that this gym was a "judgement free zone." There are athletes of all shapes/sizes and varying abilities and this made me feel very comfortable. However, the one thing that I think is very different about Bluprint is that I feel the coaches genuinely care about my goals and helping me to achieve them. I think that because of this relationship, I want to not only make myself proud but the coaches proud as well. It has been a little over 6 months since I joined Bluprint and the gains I have made have made me so much happier; both mentally and physically. Bluprint has given me support in the gym but also support in changing my lifestyle/daily habits to continue to strive towards my goals. I have learned that I will have good days and bad days, but ultimately it is all about balance. I am excited to continue to crush workouts and make gains with my Bluprint team supporting me every step of the way. Less

The membership is from all ages and walks of life - everyone of all shapes/sizes is welcome - you feel welcome and a part of the team from Day 1. In my experience some boxes are testosterone charged, weight-dropping, heavy-metal blasting temples of the PR. Not here. Bluprint is welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging - you will PR here, no doubt about it - but the road is paved with a more whole-body approach, with great time and focus given to dynamic stretching, proper technique, and resources to set goals and improve your nutrition. Due to COVID the programming has been modified to ensure health and safety - so my experience has been limited to this - but I couldn't give a higher recommendation to Bluprint - this will be my box for good.

I’ve been going to this gym for the last three years and I have made so many gains in all areas of my health (nutrition, sleep, water, and workouts.) More importantly though, with their help I’ve created a lifestyle I really love. It’s still not perfect and there are some weeks I just miss the mark, but I know my coaches are always there to help me get back on track. I am unfortunately moving out of state so I have to say goodbye, but I know the habits they have helped me create will continue with me moving forward and keep me on track! Less

I am extremely grateful for the bluprint community and the way my body has responded to challenge. Take me back 5-6 months from now and I never would have thought I'd be able to squat or deadlift as much as I do now or even get a bar with weight over my head.

They have really helped me change my relationship with the gym and my relationship with my body. So thank you! If you're questioning if you should join, or feeling anxious about the leap, dont! Just do it! It's been an absolute blast and the community here is amazing! Less

Blueprint provides structured and effective workouts, while foster a positive environment to meet your fitness goals.

The coaches at Bluprint Fitness were invested in my success from day one. The holistic approach they take allowed me to look into various aspects of my life that were stopping me from reaching my goals. If you are looking for a gym that will hold you accountable while allowing you to have fun and reach your goals, Bluprint is the place for you!

Joined when I moved to Chicago for CrossFit but also for the social aspect, and have met some of my best friends here! Even during COVID, have continued to meet new people.

So grateful I came across Bluprint and had that intro call with Byron. Everyday I feel more confident and stronger - the coaching is top notch and the community is so supportive and just fun to be around - i actually look forward to going to the gym!

BluPrint is such a fun place to workout! Their focus is on long term results and achieving realistic goals. Accountability and community are key to what makes this gym such a success. The programming is as challenging as you want to make it. I thoroughly recommend this gym. I wouldn’t work out anywhere else.

This community is more than a gym! Coaches become friends that encourage you towards breakthroughs and positive life changes.

I've visited a few other crossfit style gyms, and BP has a truly unique training methodology that makes it really easy to focus on goals and trust you are building your fitness right. I've experienced other gyms that let you roam free during classes, without much direction or education. Here, the coaches actually train you and are attentive to what you are doing. During the pandemic, they've done an amazing job of giving support, and created a safe place both physically and virtually to stay healthy, motivated and fit! Less

I love this place. Bluprint is a great box with a welcoming community. I am totally supported in my health goals.

Joining Bluprint was the best decision I've made in the last two months since I moved to Chicago. I'm currently one month into my 6 week initiation program and I honestly cannot say enough about this place. It's become my sanctuary while trying to live life through the pandemic. The coaches and community are so welcoming. You get a "Hello darling!" from Coach Janelle the moment you walk through the door, closely followed by Bacon, trusty pup/gate keeper wagging his tail at you. The single most important thing here is safety: technique and mobility. I was told that on my very first day, and I've lived it every day since. The class sizes make it so everyone has a chance to be observed and guided. The coaches really are here for YOU. I'm so glad I found Bluprint. The 45 minute bus commute (Each way!) will forever be worth it. Less

Truly genuine and kind group of people with great practices in place both for fitness and your safety. Highly recommend if you are looking for a diverse community of fitness minded folx!

Amazing programming, equipment, and expertise. The owners are professional and have a very clear and transparent plan for their gym and its future. Their response to COVID was strategic and responsible! Trainers are fun, welcoming and knowledgeable. I've been a member at BluPrint for almost a year. I love this place - cannot recommend enough!

The most inspiring group on the west side. Accountable, loyal, inclusive, team centered. Plus Bacon. Thank you for changing my life BPF!

They've been great about communicating how they will bring top notch workouts to us throughout quarantine through zoom classes, remote workouts, and now socially distanced in-person workouts. I was nervous to come back to the gym once it reopened from quarantine but they've been meticulous about keeping the gym clean, making sure people wear their masks, and keeping us safely distanced from one another all while maintaining the integrity of the workouts. The workouts themselves are varied and challenging and I can feel myself improving everyday. The coaches are awesome and make a real effort to get to know everyone. Less

I reached out to a few different locations and Byron, the owner and lead Coach at BluPrint Fitness, was one of the first to reach out. He was great at inquiring what I was looking for in a gym community and what my health goals were to see where the BluPrint family can help me get to my goals. My first trip to the Bluprint home was a little overwhelming. I had little to no experience with gym equipment. Byron welcomed me in and introduced me to the amazing Coaches! Be warned, there is accountability! I had to cancel classes due to grad school and I started getting text messages from Coach Selby. The Coaches care that you stay focused towards meeting your health goals. The class schedule is flexible to anyone's hectic work and personal schedule. Once you are ready, you get to graduate into the more advanced classes. BluPrint Fitness has been able to make modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic ensuring each member is able to continue their health journey within their comfort level. They follow the science and the health experts making sure members are safe. For those like myself that still preferred a remote workout experience BluPrint provided online courses that I was able to access after my evening grad school courses had concluded. If you are looking for a positive environment that will help you become a better healthier version of who you want to be, come join the BluCru! Come be a new member of Janelle's "Buddies"! :-) Less

The classes here are great, with options for all levels of fitness. Super supportive coaches and community, and a fun place to be. Also, dogs!

Byron and Janelle have this place down to a science. The community they created is unlike anything else and their detail to the fundamentals is exceptional. I've been to a few CF gyms in the area, and this is hands down the best one!

A co-worker had started going to Bluprint and couldn't stop raving about the experience she was having, which is how I first became familiar with it. In the span of 3 months I had sprained my lower back about three times working out on my own and knew that I had to try something different. I had always wanted to try CrossFit but was too intimidated -- very much this idea of "let me get really fit first, and THEN I'll start going to Crossfit!" But, being recently injured and looking for something different, I thought why not and decided to see what Bluprint was all about. You start with the six-week onboarding program, which was really great -- definitely needed considering I was new to the space. But what really sealed the deal for me was when I went to class after a particularly nasty back tweak and Coach Janelle had made me my own WOD -- one that would allow me to go easy on my back and also participate with everyone else. I am pretty confident that the level of care I got during that class and the ongoing support I received from the rest of the coaches in the following weeks would have been rare at any other CrossFit gym. Cut to two months later, I think I might be obsessed. Shocker! These folks care about your goals, want you to do your best, and want to help you every step of the way. The coaches have really built a great community of athletes and I'm stoked to be part of it all. GO TO BLUPRINT. YOU WON'T REGRET IT EVER. Less

Knowledgable, motivating and friendly owners and coaches who are obviously very passionate about health and fitness...plus the best door greeter around (Bacon).

I’ve been a member for 2 years, which is something I never thought I’d say about a gym, especially about a CrossFit gym. I was a cardio queen before joining, rarely ever picking up weights. I decided to give it a shot - i was about to get married and really wanted to kick it into high gear. I met with the coaches about my goals and they made me feel excited and confident. I was afraid of weights and had no idea how to lift them properly, so I was really excited to learn they had a very thorough onboarding program. I learned so much in those first few weeks and the years after. The coaches genuinely care about their athletes. You can tell they absolutely love what they do. That feeling is contagious. It makes me work harder. And I saw it inspire those around me too. The community of the gym is warm and welcoming. Everyone helps each other. It doesn’t feel like a bunch of intense people trying to outdo each other. It’s people intensely trying to reach their own goals. I love having a new WOD (workout of the day) to challenge me and keep me on my toes. You can’t possibly get bored at BluPrint. Their class schedule was very conducive to my 9-5 job. I was always able to get in the class I wanted. TL;DR - wimpy girl got over fear of weights and finally got strong with help of amazing coaches and a relaxing and welcoming community. No beefcakes.

I’ve been at BluPrint for a few months now and I honestly can’t say enough great things! I’ve been an athlete my whole life, but I feel like I’m continuously learning and achieving new goals.

The coaching staff are friendly, welcoming and attentive. The programming is challenging but scalable, making it accessible for beginners and more seasoned athletes alike. The sense of community is really unlike any gym I have ever joined before, and it's a big part of what has kept me coming in consistently for the past two years. Over that time I have smashed personal records, learned weightlifting and gymnastic movements, completed some truly challenging workouts and gained more self-confidence, discipline and yes, bigger muscles and lower body fat along the way. I recommend Bluprint Fitness to anyone who wants to break out of a fitness slump and try something challenging, fun, and ultimately very rewarding both physically and mentally. Can't recommend it enough. Less

You make friends with the same interest in working out as yourself.

Encouraging & Inspiring COACHES + Welcoming COMMUNITY = BLUPRINT Fitness When I think of Bluprint Fitness, this formula always comes to mind. Simple. It works! The COACHES – Very knowledgeable group of awesome coaches. They take each member at whatever level they are at (whether a seasoned Crossfitter, middle of the pack, former athlete, a newbie, old, young, etc) and they take YOU to YOUR next level as an athlete. EVERYONE is an Athlete and they come in all different sizes, shapes, and starting points – Bluprint Fitness COMMUNITY – Welcoming and Fun. This is what makes Bluprint a wonderful community. I am an older athlete (happy member of the Masters Group – 40+) and I look forward to working out with any of the other groups. They encourage and support each other in a fun way. Yes, this is an awesome gym WITH a heart. For the past few years that I’ve been a member of Bluprint, they’ve had a fun erg rowing marathon and karaoke (KaROWKE) to benefit Recovery On Water (a rowing team for breast cancer survivors). I still remember the 26.2 miles rowing fundraiser last year. I was a member of a team of four and as I was closing in on the second to the last 1K meter (we rowed a total of 42,164+ meters ) , this awesome Bluprint athlete, from another team, knelt right next to the erg machine and started giving me encouragement, support and tips on finishing it. I knew she’s an incredible crossfit athlete and a seasoned rower (rowed in college) but it did not matter to her that am a novice. She had this “you can do it” face to me --- an amateur. This is the longest I’ve stayed a member of any gym, let alone a Crossfit Box. Why? -- I am made accountable for classes (you receive an email if you miss/cancel a few times); I learned food pointers/ideas/portion awareness from the SOGO challenge; the WOD (workout of the day) -- NEVER boring; every time you walk into the door of Bluprint there is always a Hello! from one of the coaches and they call you by name; I can bend my “bum” knee all the way down now (shout out to Coach Selby on Wednesday morning class), I’ve stuck to the morning session for over a year now. I’m not a very early morning person, at all; AND I am getting comfortable with being uncomfortable with the workouts (a year or so ago, I would have said…split jerk/back squat, what, me? burpees, why? (still least of my fav) deadlifts, really? rowing/ski/assault bike, omg!). Bluprint Fitness is the Best Box in Chicago, PERIOD. Less

BluPrint is the best kind of CrossFit gym—one where knowledgeable and attentive coaches work alongside a community of athletes who champion everyone else in their midst. Classes are small enough that coaches can give targeted feedback to every individual, which makes it possible for all of us to safely work toward and achieve our strength, cardio and gymnastics goals. Programming is done in a way that challenges members to explore all CF skills (pushing us outside those comfort zones!), and six-week cycles give them a chance to test those skills and adjust their goals according to what interests them the most. That BluPrint is able to facilitate healthy competition AND supportive community in the same space is no doubt the reason why their members (myself included) are constantly setting and smashing new goals and adopting a true lifestyle of fitness rather than a mere gym habit.

I’ve come and gone at countless gyms and workout classes due to becoming bored with the workouts but I can tell I’ll be at blueprint until the indefinite future. The coaches genuinely care about your progress, push you, and are constantly teaching you as well.

I started Bluprint CrossFit 7 weeks ago and I cannot recommended it enough. As someone who isn't an athletic person it was the best decision I could've ever done. The coaches at Bluprint help you understand the movement and can suggest modifications if they see you struggling. I joined the 6 week introduction program and absolutely loved it.

I started Bluprint CrossFit 7 weeks ago and I cannot recommended it enough. As someone who isn't an athletic person it was the best decision I could've ever done. The coaches at Bluprint help you understand the movement and can suggest modifications if they see you struggling. I joined the 6 week introduction program and absolutely loved it. I learned a lot of the basic movements in the training camps and slowly made my way to a normal CrossFit class. I'm obviously still very new and the classes are challenging, but I look forward to further develop my skills and become a better athlete all while making new friends. Less

This is my first ever Google review, so you know it must be a really big deal for me to post. BluPrint Fitness is where it's at. If you have ever thought of joining the cult of CrossFit fitness, look no further. I was skeptical at first, didn't know if I embodied the look or strength of a CrossFit-er, whatever that entails.

This is my first ever Google review, so you know it must be a really big deal for me to post. BluPrint Fitness is where it's at. If you have ever thought of joining the cult of CrossFit fitness, look no further. I was skeptical at first, didn't know if I embodied the look or strength of a CrossFit-er, whatever that entails. What I love most about this gym is that it doesn't matter what your starting point is, we're in it together. The only person you are competing against, is yourself. Every time I come in, I push myself to be even better than the last practice and that's what being an athlete is all about. The coaches at BluPrint truly care about you and your well-being. Not only do they know your name and great you every time you come in the door, they tell you what you're doing wrong and praise you when you're doing things right. The class sizes are perfect and even when there are 20+ people in a class, you still feel like you are getting the one-on-one personal training experience. I can't say enough good things about BluPrint. If you are thinking about taking the plunge, do it, you won't ever look back! Less

Absolutely love being a part of this community! Besides being able to work towards my health and fitness goals, the team there is just so much fun to be around, which makes it all the more worthwhile. Classes are challenging, and scheduling a workout is easy. Even better - there are friendly dogs there! Highly recommended!

I have been a member of BluPrint for a little more than 4 months and I have drank the Cross-Fit Kool-Aid.

I have been a member of BluPrint for a little more than 4 months and I have drank the Cross-Fit Kool-Aid. My favorite part (other than the coaches/people) about BluPrint is the team mentality that the classes create. The workouts are hard but doing them with a team makes them 100% better. You are all suffering during the workout and having a team around you makes you work harder to complete the workout. As a retired collegiate athlete, I had struggled finding a gym that would create the same atmosphere as working out with your team. This would leave me feeling unsatisfied leaving any other gym. I am happy to say that I found this a BluPrint. Oh and they have dogs! Shout out Coach Bacon! Less

Truly a gem of a gym in Chicago. I've been crossfitting for over 5 years now. Over the course of these 5 years, I've dropped in for workouts at gyms all over the US, have done week passes and two week passes and punch cards at various boxes, and I can say without a doubt that NONE come close to achieving the community atmosphere, coaching expertise, and programming balance that you'll find at Bl...

Truly a gem of a gym in Chicago. I've been crossfitting for over 5 years now. Over the course of these 5 years, I've dropped in for workouts at gyms all over the US, have done week passes and two week passes and punch cards at various boxes, and I can say without a doubt that NONE come close to achieving the community atmosphere, coaching expertise, and programming balance that you'll find at Bluprint. The coaches are knowledgeable and excited to work with athletes of ALL levels. Perhaps even more importantly, they place a premium on community. Everything at this gym is done with purpose and with an eye towards creating a cohesive, inclusive, community. Unlike the other crossfit gyms in Chicago that I've been to, the programming at Bluprint is geared towards health and longevity rather than elite performance. I can go to class every day and get a great workout without feeling beat up all the time. If I ever want more intense programming, there are lots of open gym times to choose from, and lots of members who are excited to come in and do additional workouts. I can't say enough good things about this gym and the ways that it has changed my life for the better. It's a great spot for everyone!! Less

Gym coaches are amazing!!!! They help you reach any fitness goals set in mind.

I am always happy when leaving Bluprint after a workout.

BluPrint Fitness is the first gym that offers programs that are interesting, fun, challenging and not to mention, you feel like you’re getting personal training in a group class with the coaches checking on you and correcting your form.

BluPrint Fitness is the first gym that offers programs that are interesting, fun, challenging and not to mention, you feel like you’re getting personal training in a group class with the coaches checking on you and correcting your form. BluCru Members are friendly and welcoming, eager to include you, especially when you’re a Newbie and don’t know what to do when you’re asked to find a “friend”. The most exciting part for me it that the exercises are always changing, even though you may be working on a specific movement. Then there’s community at the gym with games, challenges and parties. I know I was horrified of having to jump into group classes, but I couldn’t stay in personal training forever. My Power clean was probably the worst Selby had ever seen and I thought I would never get that movement. I am still terrified at it, but it has improved a whole lot. So I took the plunge and realized that looks can be deceiving; group classes are a whole lot of fun with partners to push you beyond what you might think might be your limit. BluPrint is the longest practicing membership I’ve had and exercising in this manner is a way of life for me now. I can’t imagine going without Strength and Zone in my life and the best place to practice that is at BluPrint Fitness. Fabulous instruction from the coaches and you just might make a few new friends while there. Less

I have been going to Bluprint for about three years and I won’t do anything else! The environment is kind, respectful and supportive. I have seen results, physically, mentally and emotionally! And I highly recommend it to anyone who asks!!

I want to take time to give The coaches, the athletes and all that comes and to go the facility high praises.

This is one of the most fun gyms I've been too. The prescribed workouts are fantastic and all the coaches are really enthusiastic. If you want to be in a gym that's more of a community than the typical box gym this is it! :)

Great coaching for all skill levels, no matter what your individual goals are!

I love Bluprint Crossfit's atmosphere, instructors, support, and the classes. This is the third crossfit gym I have attended and hands down it's the best because the owners genuinely care about the overall well-being of their students.

I did a combination of PT with Selby and classes and couldn't have had a better introduction into weight lifting, CrossFit and learning to enjoy working out again! Selby and all the coaches were attentive to my concerns and goals. I only wish I had found this place before I moved away!

The coaches are dedicated to your success and safety. The programming is challenging while accessible to every fitness level. And the gym is clean, well organized, and well equipped. But the piece that levels this place up above the rest is the welcoming, inclusive, and just downright family atmosphere the owners, coaches, and members have cultivated. It is next to none and the reason I continue to come back. Whether you’re looking for a new gym to call home or just need to drop in, BluPrint is the place to go. Less

Byron and Janelle and their team of coaches have turned a gym into a community that empowers individuals to succeed in meeting their goals. Accountability is key and something I didn’t really consider before joining. I’m writing this as I complete my 6th week in Chicago and 4th week at BluPrint. Before moving to Chicago I had let my fitness slip and was not as good as I had been previously which is why i sought out this gym before leaving the UK. Byron reached out and was not pushy like other gyms sometimes can be, he was super responsive answering my questions via email and we arranged a time to meet in person the first week I landed. Walking into the gym for my initial consultation was different to what I was used to, it’s an open setting with lots of different equipment and NO mirrors or instagram posers, Everyone there was working their hardest and enjoying it. Byron talked me through the program and what his gym offers and I knew instantly I wanted to part of the “blucrew” surrounding me was people of all ages, sizes and abilities and everyone is deemed an athlete. Every time I head to a class I feel excited and I enjoy going as the support I receive from the coaches and other members is nothing like I’ve felt before, even when I’m almost the last one completing an exercise the whole class cheers me on and I feel proud to have completed as opposed to defeated at being last which is what I would feel at other gyms. I always thought people who did CrossFit didn’t focus on technique but you will soon learn at BluPrint that technique is crucial and you will be taught the correct ways to do an exercise. Each workout is well thought out and has different levels depending on your ability, but ensures everyone trains together, which I enjoy and helps keep me motivated. BluPrint has the coaches, the space and the environment in which you can achieve your goals, the results ultimately depend on how well you use all of the resources available to you. I am excited to continue my journey with these guys, they are most definitely starting to become my home away from home Less

I started at Bluprint about two months ago, and would highly recommend it. The on-ramp program strikes the right balance with respect to difficulty. Structures are in place to ensure accountability. The workouts are well designed and comprehensive, and they also leave space to tailor movements, as needed. The coaches are excellent and the community is welcoming.

Our experience began with the goal of dropping a few pounds and trying to look our best in a short time before our wedding.

Our experience began with the goal of dropping a few pounds and trying to look our best in a short time before our wedding. Fast forward a few months from beginning at BluPrint, and my fiancé and I have both noticed change in our bodies, our habits, and our overall health. What started as a six-week intro program has now developed into a greater commitment to health and fitness that we plan to continue with for the long haul. And that was made possible by the owners and coaches at BluPrint. I couldn’t imagine a more welcoming group of people who are enthusiastic about helping people of all ages, shapes, and sizes realize their fitness goals. If you’ve ever been motivated enough just to step foot in a gym, but then you wonder “WTF do I do now?” then try stepping into BluPrint and they will show you the rest. Less

This place is great! Coaches are extremely helpful, supportive and very knowledgeable. They really want to see you succeed. It also is a very welcoming environment as there is a real sense of community and support among everyone who joins. Would def recommend

I commute 10-miles, and love the team-spirit here. After coming for less than six-months and as a first-time crossfitter, my wife saw so much improvement in my health, she called the gym herself & started coming too. Now, we can't see not coming here. We especially appreciate the insight about food choices. Crossfit, rowing, zone & fun - thank you, Bluprint! - Paul G.

BluPrint's owners, coaches, and members remind me of why I fell in love with CrossFit in the first place. They are friendly, encouraging, and welcoming. Whether it's fitness, nutrition, or recovery - the owners practice what they preach and set an excellent example of health and wellness. They're also just really cool people with an adorable gym dog. My commute to this gym takes 30-45 minutes, and some days that commute gives me a lot of time to second-guess my decision to workout that day. If I'm ever in a funky mood, I know it will disappear as soon as I step into the gym. The whole gym radiates positive energy and happy feels, and I have never regretted a workout with this crew. I'm very happy to be part of the fam here. :) If you are looking for a non-intimidating introduction to CrossFit, or are just looking to continue your CrossFit routine somewhere with hella positive vibes, BluPrint is the right place for you.

When I started bluprint I was stuck in a cycle of binge eating then eating nothing, working out like crazy, and seeing no results at all. The coaching (and patience) provided by Byron, Janelle, Selby and Bacon helped me discover a way to have fun while working out, eat more, build muscle, lose fat, and make friends. I could never go anywhere else

I came here from out of town, on a Friday morning, for a drop in and the facilities are well equipped and clean. The coaching is spot on and they have a great community of people. If I’d live in Chicago this would be my box

It’s easy to become dedicated and motivated at Bluprint. The workouts offer new moves and challenges every day and the coaches are there to help at all times. I learn something new every class. It’s been great being part of the wonderful group of athletes at this gym.

Incredible facility, incredible staff. To top it off, Bluprint Fitness has the best variety of membership options that I’ve seen from any gym in Chicago. There’s a fit for anyone.

I have been going to BluPrint for a year and a half now and love it! Yes, I *love* working out now. I like it so much, I even go on the weekends now. The coaches and other athletes at Bluprint are very positive and encouraging. Byron and Janelle have built a great community at this gym. Having coaches that are enthusiastic makes a difference. After a day at work, going to the gym helps me not only physically, but mentally too. First and foremost, is a focus on form. This is so important. I've worked with a lot of trainers over the years and it took a while to find ones who know proper form to both increase power and avoid injury. The slightest changes to a position make a huge difference. Before each workout, the coaches go through the form for every movement, further reinforcing it. Coach Byron creates workouts that are mixed and never get boring. All workouts have variations in case you haven't yet mastered a skill. It is a non-intimidating environment, with athletes at all different levels. I cannot stress the last part enough. If you've never done Cross-fit, this is the place to go to learn and have fun doing it! Bonus: the gym is also clean and organized. It's nice to always find weights in the right place! Less

I initially started at Bluprint awhile back just taking their metcon classes but was always curious about the CF classes. I was in a workout rut from my usual bootcamps, HIIT classes, running, and solo weight lifting and desperately needed something new so considered giving them a try and signing up for a full membership. I first made sure to ask around and look at Yelp, etc reviews and everything I heard/read was super positive so decided I would pull the trigger and join already. I had planned on just paying for 3 months as a bday gift to myself to inspire me out of my rut......well, over a year later and I'm still here! The breadth of knowledge and passion that's apparent in Byron and Janelle were enough to make me stick around. Add to that the coaches, the facility, the classes themselves, and Bacon their dog - everything is all top notch. Not to mention the sense of community you get while there is amazing - everyone is extremely welcoming! Classes are scale-able and for EVERYone! The coaches make sure everyone is prepared for whatever movement is on the schedule for the day and makes sure to check everyone's form which was crucial for me in experimenting w/CF for the first time. Everyone is just amazing and makes for such a great atmosphere. I'm so glad I decided to give a BP try! Less

I can't say enough about how much I love this box. They are really supportive and help to build realistic work plans for setting goals, checking-in on how my goals are progressing, celebrating achievements and building community.

Warmest, most welcoming gym in Chicago! Byron and Janelle are the BEST!

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Well maintained equipment. Super clean space. Approachable for any fitness level. I really appreciate Bluprints results driven approach. Love this gym!

Best gym in Chicago. If you are looking to get into shape with an amazing community, this is your gym. The coaches care deeply about your journey into a healthy lifestyle. If you are new to crossfit or new to working out in general, everyone makes you feel comfortable and wants you to succeed in your goals!

Incredibly positive staff, fun place to work out

BP has created an awesome community around fitness that makes it so much more exciting to work out and live healthfully - its like being an athlete in school again. The training philosophy is very health-based and I am confident I can train without creating negative impacts on my body.

Being new to Crossfit and not having the best luck with big box gyms in the past, I was apprehensive when I reached out to Bluprint about becoming a member. After meeting Janelle, Byron and Selby during my first visit and fitness consultation, however, I new Bluprint was the right fit for me. Now, I have been consistently going to the gym 2-3x a week for over a year and couldn't be happier with my fitness results. The combination of Bluprint coach's expertise, care, teaching and guidance have kept me coming back, week after week. All the coaches are wonderful and hold me accountable to my fitness and nutrition goals, which has also proved wildly successful for me. Thanks Bluprint! Less

I have nothing but good things to say about this facility and the trainers/coaches here. I trained with Selby for several months – by far the best personal training experience I've had to date. It's a motivating atmosphere with a tight-knit and welcoming community. I definitely recommend this gym and its trainers to anyone at any experience level.

UPDATE 11/24/2020 - COVID 19 threw a lot of businesses a huge curveball and I am so impressed with how Bluprint has pivoted and adapted during these times.

UPDATE 11/24/2020 - COVID 19 threw a lot of businesses a huge curveball and I am so impressed with how Bluprint has pivoted and adapted during these times. They made sure the community continued to have access to coach support and workouts using a variety of methods, while always keeping its members' health at the forefront of any decision. I know the continued access we've been able to sustain has tremendously helped my mental and physical health during these last 8 months. I've been coming to Bluprint for several years and can't imagine working out anywhere else. The coaches have created a culture of positivity while pushing its athletes to grow, both physically and mentally. I'll admit that coming to Crossfit from a non-athletic background was scary but I honestly have learned so much about myself over the years that I can't recommend it enough, especially if you decide to try it at Bluprint. When you have coaches and a community that believe in you, you will be amazed at what your body can do. Oh and the programming is top-notch with proper warm ups and cool downs at every class and strength cycles, skills training, and endurance workouts built into the weekly schedule. Bonus points for offering non-Crossfit classes like indoor rowing and bootcamp so there's plenty of variety. Less

Will be finishing my 2nd year at BluePrint Fitness. Great coaching staff, great programs and I've learned so much more than how to do the exercise movements correctly. I've learned how to include good nutrition habits, the need for mobility workouts and how to understand the progress I've made. The environment is focused, inclusive and very motivating.

I've been both an instructor and a member of many fitness centers across the country, and BluPrint is one of the few places that I'd recommend without hesitation. A genuine devotion to fitness and the wellness of their members is at the root of everything they do. There aren't any gimmicks or hassles with memberships or the programming.

I've been both an instructor and a member of many fitness centers across the country, and BluPrint is one of the few places that I'd recommend without hesitation. A genuine devotion to fitness and the wellness of their members is at the root of everything they do. There aren't any gimmicks or hassles with memberships or the programming. Just good folks doing good things. Literally all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels can be found working side by side here. Even as an employee of other gyms where I get a free membership, I still buy a membership here because of the value that the facility, coaches, and community offer. Less

My only experience with a crossfit gym was a buddy-day at a different gym and I was so sore for 3 days after I never wanted anything to do with it again. However, I tried BluPrint with a friend and there is a 6 week "on-ramp" to help teach you and get you more comfortable with the movements. It was awesome.

My only experience with a crossfit gym was a buddy-day at a different gym and I was so sore for 3 days after I never wanted anything to do with it again. However, I tried BluPrint with a friend and there is a 6 week "on-ramp" to help teach you and get you more comfortable with the movements. It was awesome. Fast forward 3 years and in the middle of the pandemic, I am still able to lift and go to a safe and clean gym. The programing makes it feel personalized and is as if you pay for a personal trainer. During the pandemic I have been able to achieve three new things I never did before. It is a culture of work hard, see results, get healthy. Period. Less

Amazing community at Bluprint. It’s hard to just call it a gym tbh. It’s a family that encourages (not pushes) ones self to be better. Staff? Amazing! Knowledgeable? Absolutely. I can’t see myself taking someones advice seriously when they’re physical fitness and lifestyle levels dont seem to be up to par. That’s def not a problem here.

Love, love, LOVE this place. Amazing community, fantastic coaches, and RESULTS

Best gym in the city hands down!

Bryon and Janelle, owners are simply the best. They are generous with their time and knowledge.

Great people. Great gym.

I've always been a solo lifter, and stayed away from group fitness classes, but I'd always remained in good shape.

I've always been a solo lifter, and stayed away from group fitness classes, but I'd always remained in good shape. But I started at Bluprint a year ago, and it's honestly been the best gym experience I've had in my life. The coaches take a personal interest in helping you reach your fitness goals and and encourage continued growth. I've broken through countless plateaus that I can honestly say I wouldnt have reached without the coaches. The programming is awesome, challenging and varied. The atmosphere of the gym (also mind you this is from a person who prefers to lift solo) is amazing. Dozens of athletes who come in with a positive attitude and help push and encourage you to be the best you. The facility itself is always clean and well organized, and they invest in new equipment several times a year. I would give bluprint 6 out of 5 stars if google would allow. Highly recommended. Less

Love the friendly welcoming atmosphere, the exceptionally clean facilities, the way the owners bend over backwards to help you, and the ease of parking!! Lots of classes offered. My favorites are the coached rowing workouts. Highly recommended👍🏻

It all starts at the top..awesome coaches - Byron, Janelle, Selby, Hillary, Vince! A Fun, welcoming, challenging gym. ...and yes, the Music🎶 !

Amazing place, amazing coaches & kick-ass workouts!!

Very inviting and knowledgeable staff!! I thought I was decent at crossfit until I met Byron and the rest of the staff who made me realize my bad habits I never knew I had. Thankful for the guidance and direction on my technique when executing new and old skills.

2022 update - I've been going to Bluprint regularly for several years, and I came back to review because I don't want people to see my review and think, "oh, that's old" - it's still very much an exceptional business. Thoughtful coaching, adaptive to changing needs of the athletes, and fantastic community of folks with whom to work out. 100% recommended. 2020 update - the way Bluprint has adap... More

2022 update - I've been going to Bluprint regularly for several years, and I came back to review because I don't want people to see my review and think, "oh, that's old" - it's still very much an exceptional business. Thoughtful coaching, adaptive to changing needs of the athletes, and fantastic community of folks with whom to work out. 100% recommended. 2020 update - the way Bluprint has adapted to the challenges of Covid19 is nothing short of exceptional. Excellent planning & strategy, consistency/reinforcement of rules, lots and lots of cleaning. Absolutely best in class. The best crossfit box. Plenty of options, including indoor rowing classes and bootcamps, if crossfit isn't your thing. Great coaching staff, friendly and helpful, but willing to tell you when you need to get better at movements for your own safety and growth. Personal training available. Could not recommend more highly. Less

This week marked my 6-month anniversary at Bluprint, and it made me realize that a review was more than warranted.

This week marked my 6-month anniversary at Bluprint, and it made me realize that a review was more than warranted. I have been doing Crossfit for quite a few years and in January I found myself suddenly having to find a new gym as the one I was going to unfortunately had to close. I tried 3 different ones in the area before stopping by Bluprint, and none of them were bad but they also didn't feel like "home". And, for those who have done Crossfit before, you know how the community is probably the biggest thing in the gym. As soon as arrived there I knew they had done a tremendous job developing that community. All coaches know everyone by name, athletes are actually interacting with each other instead of making "small talk", everyone helps each other push through the workout, and you really got to meet people from the get go. Also, no one is allowed to start putting away their equipment until everyone is done - which is a big pet-peeve of mine from other gyms. Another plus is also how they are totally transparent and clear with the training program and what they expect from the athletes. Every Saturday we get an email with the program for the upcoming week and which cycle we are on at that time. I personally love to know that there is a very detailed thought-process behind the programming. I can't recommend Bluprint enough... seriously, just sign-up for a trial if you don't believe me. Oh, and you get to meet coach Bacon as well!!! Less

I moved from another country, where I used to do crossfit and was looking for a friendly environment here to train with good peeps. I went to other cf gyms here in Chicago but this one just couldnt be topped. The coaches are awesome and the people are great!

Bluprint Fitness/Chi-Town CrossFit is the most positive, supportive and fun experience I've ever had in a gym.

Bluprint Fitness/Chi-Town CrossFit is the most positive, supportive and fun experience I've ever had in a gym. All of the staff were immediately welcoming, engaging, and seemed to genuinely care about my success. More surprising to me was their focus on proper form, effectively ensuring that all members build the necessary foundation to be successful in their gym, and crossfit as a whole. This focus on form, and the methods with which they taught them, is something that is unique to Bluprint, and was something I greatly appreciated. I genuinely look forward to each of my visits to Bluprint, and know that my success will continue with their leadership. Less

Bluprint Fitness is a fantastic gym! The coaches care about your progress and constantly have good feedback about different movements.

Friendly knowledgeable owners who know and care about the community.

I came to this gym looking for motivation to push my drive and this is exactly what I found the staff and the people in the gym we're so welcoming and together I appreciate all the staff for their encouragement and motivation. I met my 6 week goal. I wouldn't change anything about this gym at all

A highly motivated staff who provide encouragement and feedback throughout your workout. It doesn't matter what your fitness level is, you're being coached the whole time so it's easy to fit right in. The coaching staff lead by example.

Huge admiration for the coaching staff at Bluprint. I've been a member for a few months and really enjoy the programming and environment here.

I can’t say enough good things about Blue Print. I have been a member for almost 2 years now and have been more committed here than any previous gym experience.

I can’t say enough good things about Blue Print. I have been a member for almost 2 years now and have been more committed here than any previous gym experience. I participate in the METCON classes and do personal training with Selby. The Coaching staff are supportive, fun and experts in their field. The classes are diverse and keep things interesting and challenging. The gym itself is high energy and immaculate, as everyone takes great pride in the community of the gym. As a middle aged Dad, I have been intimidated by the usual gym experiences, but have found Blue Print to be a welcoming and inspiring community of people who want to work hard and have fun. I'm stronger than ever and my days that start at Blueprint are the best ones. Also, Byron and Janelle’s dog Bacon is the best. Less

Great coaches, awesome facility, and a welcoming community. Highly recommended!

Awesome facility & coaching staff. Came here for my CrossFit level 2 certification. The owners are great hosts

Update - It's been over 5 years and I cannot speak more highly of this amazing place. Their protocols through the pandemic were so thoughtful and kept us all as safe as possible while allowing us to workout as a community. Not only is it important for the physical benefits, but the mental health portion is often over-looked and BluPrint Fitness gives so many options to have complete health & strength. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed. CC It's been 2 years and I can truly say that I have found my community! Excellent, supportive staff and a group of amazing members that cheer me on when I'm the last one to finish! I am stronger and in better health than I have ever been and I have created a new habit of working out 5 days a week (and I like it)! Less

The trainers take the time to teach you how to properly do the exercises and are very encouraging for all levels. The gym is clean and all the equipment is in good condition. There are big bathrooms and showers if you need it before work as well as water fountains incase you forget your water bottle (like I have done every day). Long story short if your considering a new gym check this place out! You will not be disappointed. Less

Good coaching, Nice people, good training, beautiful box!!!

As a lifelong runner with zero lifting experience, I wasn't sure about joining a gym and didn't really know what to expect. After a few short weeks at Bluprint, I knew this would be a place I could call home and belong. With that came lifestyle changes, being more conscious of food choices and how I spend my time. This gym not only changed my fitness level, it shifted my lifestyle into a better one. It wasn't until last weekend that I really noticed the changes -- ordering some large furniture for my apartment with no help to carry it or put it together. Normally I would have waited for someone to help me. Instead, I hauled everything safely by myself. A few months ago I wouldn't have been able to do that. Thanks Bluprint! Less
