Candace has been super patient in each session I’ve had so far allowing me to go at my own pace while still pushing me for more.

Great location, positive coaching with focus on strength training, proper form and conditioning. Great resource to keep you functionally strong and in great shape. Lots of class times available as well.
Started at PFT about a month ago and didn't have much CrossFit experience. In the past month Josh and Candace have gotten me up to speed and it has been great to work with them. Couldn't be happier with the supportive environment to achieve my CrossFit goals!
I have had a wonderful time working out here. The trainers are very experienced professionals. Experience matters in every profession. They have created a family of people who are super friendly and make it motivating to keep training. I think it would be very hard for me to step back into a large chain commercial gym again because the atmosphere will never compare.
I looove the atmosphere at PFT! Everyone was so welcoming from the very first day and the coaches are great at giving just the right tip to boost your performance. Highly recommended for anyone at any fitness level who are looking to crush their goals!
Great gym with great people. Josh, the owner, is friendly and accommodating to your schedule. Great focus on equal part strength and part endurance work. Very pleased I walked by this gem a few months ago.
Incredibly friendly environment with knowledgeable trainers on staff. This is a gem amongst all of the other gyms on the North Shore. Definitely give this no-frills all results business a try.
Love this place! Cannot recommend it enough! I started doing CrossFIt at Performance Factory two years ago with my college aged son. We had both gained a lot of weight during Covid and wanted to get in shape (mentally and physically). I was concerned about doing proper form and not getting hurt by overdoing it.

We had both gained a lot of weight during Covid and wanted to get in shape (mentally and physically). I was concerned about doing proper form and not getting hurt by overdoing it. The owners and trainers at PFT are very skilled and knowledgeable (and very funny and enthusiastic). They make sure all of their members are well taken care of! I am 64 years old and my balance and strength and stamina have greatly improved. This is an Excellent gym/CrossFIt! Definitely come in and give it a go, you will gain confidence and a better outlook on life! Less
I started a month ago and love it! Awesome workout program and environment. Great for all levels of fitness and experience. The coaches are super engaged and always provide guidance with form and technique.
Good workouts. Great people. Family atmosphere. I look forward to coming to going in and seeing everyone and getting a good workout in.
Great gym. Was very excited to see the kilo weights. They also let us drop in hassle free. We’re gonna come back every time we’re back in Chicago for sure.
I live out of town but visit the area frequently to see family, and PFT is the best gym I've found - great coaches, great programming, great facility, and incredible flexibility for drop-ins. My go-to gym whenever I'm in town.
I’ve visited this gym every summer for the past three years, and I absolutely love it. The atmosphere is motivating and positive, making every workout enjoyable. This gym has truly transformed my fitness journey. Highly recommend!
Amazing place to work out — was hesitant at first, since I had zero CrossFit experience BUT they were so welcoming, super helpful, and was able to quickly learn. Best decision I have made in a long time!
I love Pft! Such an awesome space and great for college athletes home for the summer.
Joined the gym last year, completely new to CrossFit and unsure of how to start. Everyone here is so easy to talk to and learn from. It’s a welcoming community that encourages you to go outside of your comfort zone. The owners are also great and easy to work with.

The coaches are extremely knowledgable and put together a great plan that will push you just the right amount while ensuring your form. The facility is clean and organized, and the community is incredibly supportive. I've had incredible results gaining strength and endurance. I also worked with Candace for nutrition and she helped me completely transform my body composition! She put together a customized plan and was with me every step of the way; I've never been this lean before and with her coaching, it felt easy to reach my goals. These folks go above and beyond -- PFT is an awesome place to workout! Less

Love this gym so much. Josh and Adam are wonderful and I always leave feeling energized and ready for a crazy day. Run, don’t walk here!
PFT is an awesome place to workout. The gym is clean, spacious and has great coaches. The workouts are tough, but you can go at your own speed.
Excellent coaches, top notch facility, great community, on a daily - well planned CrossFit WODs, they even have an awesome certified nutritionist! I have gotten strong results with simple consistency. Must select as your local CF gym asap.
I'm just a newbie at this gym but my experience has been fantastic. I have lost 5 pounds since I started and I feel energetic and more flexible.

I just moved to the area, and PFT is a wonderful and welcoming community. The coaches are all great at assisting with modifications/scaling for all fitness levels. Great programming as well!
100% great experience! Quality coaching and guidance, great structure (warm up, movement prep, strength/tech, and WOD), and good people. Nothing better than being able to get a quality workout in while in the road. Welcoming atmosphere—give it a go!
This place is such an awesome gym to workout. Highly recommend personalized training with the coaches. They will tailor to what you need. Fun to hang out and talk to them too. Very knowledgeable
Great gym. Great group of coaches and the gym is always clean
Best gym ever! Trainers are awesome and knowledgeable. Everyone treats everyone else like family.
Best trainers! Great workout environment.

The coaches pay attention to how you move and offer fantastic advise and suggestions to improve your lifting and/or movements. I’ve heard nothing but great things about the personal coaching offered, but haven’t done that myself, as I prefer group classes right now. The programming is more focused on fundamental functional movements that help no matter what age you are. I highly recommend checking PFT out if you’re looking to get movement in and gaining great friends!! Less
PFT is an amazing environment with lots of knowledgeable coaches and an even better community. If you’ve been looking for a new gym or you’re new to Highwood and are looking for a community check out PFT.
I have been a long time member at PFT (almost 10 years). Just an absolutely amazing community and very supportive coaches.
Three years ago I made a commitment to improve my health through CrossFit. The coaching and community working in concert proved to be outstanding. Top notch facility and staff!
I highly recommend checking PFT out. Great coaching and a great community!

Very welcoming environment with great coaches.
Great supportive environment. Mixed strength and workout of the day workouts. Coaches will help new people with form and not pressure people to do something they are uncomfortable with, but still motivate to be the best you can be!
I have worked out at PFT since they opened and love it! The gym has a welcoming family type vibe while teaching everyone how to train hard but safely.
This place is great! Attentive coaches, friendly community, great programming. Anyone looking for a CrossFit gym should stop by.
Best gym ever!! From the moment I walked in to see the place I knew this was the place for me! Coaches and clientele are all super nice and helpful. You work at your own rate so no pressure but always someone around to help and encourage you! Definitely worth a try to see how you do.
Awesome friendly gym! Dropped in and was welcomed line I was at home. Great coaches and good vibes. Would recommend to anyone considering upgrading their gym experience.
One of my first priorities after moving to the area was to find a gym, and PFT was on a list of several I planned to check out.

I had the liver of a morbidly obese person, although I was only mildly overweight. The coaches have given me the guidance and the community has helped me keep my drive for working out so that today I continue keeping myself healthy and my liver enzymes well within the normal range and functioning like a normal person’s with no medication - just good old-fashioned diet and exercise. I have also found strength that I never new I had, which has been a nice surprise and a testament to their methodical programming. Less

I have been going to PFT CrossFit gym, off and on, for over ten years now - life gets in the way sometimes and I have had to step away from time to time - but I ALWAYS come back. I've tried other things/gyms in-between but nothing gives me the workout, the community and the energy that PFT does. The coaches care about the members and make everyone feel like family and friends, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. They are extremely knowledgeable in so many areas while consistently adapting and expanding their program to keep up with the standards in the industry and new fitness trends. I've watched them grow from a grassroots gym with the basic CF offerings to a solid community of diverse classes and knowledge plus an awesome social network in the gym and online. It's great to be a part of a place that has friendly competition among it's peers, and encourages you to keep trying and to keep showing up no matter your age or skill/fitness level. It's a family feeling and I love it. Less
Best CrossFit gym in the area! Fun community with coaches that care.
Happy to have found my way here, and really appreciate both the challenge and support. I never feel bad for having to scale things and it never feels like my non Rx workout is less important than the pros’ workouts. We’re all here for the same reason. Like the programming and coaching very much.
I initially joined 3 years ago and had to take a break for health issues. And once I was in a place to be able to return to CrossFit I went straight back to PFT. While I had been gone for over a year, I felt like I had never been away. Love the programming! Love the community. ❤️
PFT is great place to learn CrossFit. Coaches are knowledgable, friendly, and helpful. So glad I found this place in Highwood.

I was really nervous to stop in because I haven't consistently worked out in 8 years. I'm 30 lbs heavier than I was in my prime. I've had two kids and pelvic floor therapy. I'm tired, a lot. But Josh and Brian were incredibly hospitable, patient, helpful, and guiding - I felt like I was being encouraged and led by my brothers and their cool/low key/down to earth friends in high school. The cross fit workouts were challenging, but didn't kill me. Each workout is modified for strength. I was only sore after the first 1-2 classes. The pace is slow, compared to what I expected! Carrying two children and keeping up with house chores while running and racing around at home, etc was adequate preparation. I truly encourage anyone - especially mom's and older women - to take the chance and do something for yourself by visiting PFT. If this isnt enough to get you there, I just want to add that the people who work out there were so kind and encouraging to me as a rookie. I never felt looked down upon or left out. Im really excited to continue my journey toward health at PFT. Less
If you're tired of spinning your wheels at a globo gym - not knowing what to do or even how to do it - the programming and instruction by the coaches at PFT is exactly what you're looking for. I joined several years ago, I'm the strongest I've ever been, and haven't looked back.
After moving to the area a year ago this gym became a community for me as well as a hobby. The staff are diverse in their knowledge and each has their own impactful way of coaching. The gym itself feels like the neighborhood workout spot, you see familiar faces and there are occasional events where everyone comes together to compete or hangout.
Hands down the best gym in the area! Coaches are professional and patient. Since the first day I started going there everyone has been welcoming and friendly. It’s an awesome place for all age and fitness levels!

Great coaches and great group of people. I’ve been with this gym (“box”) since the first year it opened. My wife joined a few years later and has been a member ever since. My two sons have also done some personal training. I can’t say enough great things about the coaches and the friends my family and I made over the last 10+ years.
Great gym and community. Came in with no CrossFit experience and coaches were great getting me ramped up. 2 years in and not plans on leaving.
So pleased to be part of this great community.
A great experience I met new people and reunited with old ones
We joined PFT shortly after moving to Illinois. Great community, great coaching and programming.
I can’t say enough about Pft. The people and community that own, run and habitate here for an hour or so a day here have changed my life and everyone around us/them. I’m stronger, better physically and mentally and we have a golf league! I would scream from the hilltop if necessary to spread the word.
Fantastic Community.
Dropped in for a month while I was in town. Great facility, lots of class times to choose from, friendly coaches and friendly athletes. Thanks for a home away from home!
PFT is great fitness community, welcoming to all. Regardless of your ability level, coaches will support you as you work on fitness goals.
Unbelievable coaches, culture and atmosphere. I’ve learnt a lot about crossfit, technical lifts and overall fitness in the short span of being part of this gym. It has changed my life for the better and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has fitness goals in mind that they would like to achieve
This is more than a gym. It is a community and a second home. The programming and coaching is second to none! From your first day to your tenth year, PFT can absolutely meet your individual fitness needs.
Amazing coaches and amazing community
I've been with PFT from the very beginning. Great trainers. Very friendly atmosphere. People of all ages (I'm one of the oldest!). Wonderful variety of machines and great training. I train with Aaron but know the other trainers well. They are all great.

PFT is truly my happy place! It is where I take care of my physical, emotional, spiritual and social health. The coaching and programming are great, and the community of members are amazing. It is really such a special place, and I am so happy to have found it!
I have been a member pft for a long time and I do the bootcamp workouts. It is a great place with great coaches, who are attentive and knowledgeable. They make different workouts every day so you are never bored.
Great coaches with a great community. Really chill environment. Great dogs too.
Came here in may of 2016 and found not only a gym but an amazing community. Would put more stars if it could
Such a great and positive environment that really allows you to push yourself and grow while working out there! The staff is truly amazing, and are there to give advice on the training and in life!
I've been attending bootcamp at PFT since 2016. I love the workouts they create and I'm never bored. The coaches are always willing to offer alternative moves if needed and watching your form. I would highly recommend this training to facility!
I’ve been a member of PFT for 4 years and very happy with the progress I’ve made and community I’ve joined. There are lots of options available depending on abilities and what you are comfortable with, and the events they have throughout the year are great at bringing everyone together for a great workout, a fun time or both!
It's like my second home! Great community, great support!
Going to Performance Factory Training is the highlight of my day every day. The workouts are challenging and the community is welcoming. The coaches are knowledgeable and the opportunity to progress as an athlete is open to anywho who is looking for it.
Coaches personalize almost every workout to accommodate my needs. The coaching is EXCELLENT! The atmosphere is laid back and friendly. I cannot imagine a nicer community or facility.
Come find out for yourself. Great people
PFT is a nurturing place for every age. The coaches are skilled and very knowledgeable. PFT is a gem in Highwood.
PFT has the most amazing coaches, programming, and community. I have been a member for 8+ years and have always felt both challenged and supported. There is nothing better than celebrating a new PR at PFT!

Been going here for over 2 years. Great environment, great coaches!!!
Great facility with variety of equipment and space. Coaches are friendly, knowledgeable, and driven. The members are great too and push each other to put in best effort. Highly recommend.
This gym is a gem in Highwood. The coaches are hands on professionals who will help even a novice learn the ropes of crossfit. The classes are fun, attentive and changing daily to make every class interesting. The equipment is new and gym is in impeccable condition. Run, don't walk to PFT Highwood.
Hands down best gym on the North Shore. Great classes, great community. Highly recommended.
Hands down best gym and best coaches in the area!
Been training here for years. Awesome workout atmosphere. Oh and the equipment and facility are the best.
A great family friendly gym. Very inviting gym and allows to work on your goals individually as well as working out in groups. Only focus is helping others get better!!
Amazing team, and in my personal opinion more beneficial than a gym membership. The team does a beautiful job of cheering you on to reach your goals.
I like this place. I’ve been to other CrossFit gyms in the north shore and I found that a lot of coaches would just chat or text during the workout. The coaches here pay attention to you, know what they’re talking about, also their dogs are nice.
I've dropped in twice s at PFT and definitely recommend it. Both times I've had Coach Brian for class, who is friendly and knowledgeable about how to move correctly. The facility is nice with plenty of room and all the equipment you would want.
Love this place! Friendly coaches and fellow athletes make it a great community. Great programming, perfect balance of challenging workouts and reinforcing safe & efficient technique
Really nice welcoming group of athletes and coaches. Highly recommend

I finished every workout dead last (and I have to admit that still happens from time to time). At 44, I am now stronger than I ever have been or even thought I would be. I travel quite a bit and have been to many CrossFit gyms, but I can honestly say that the coaches at CrossFit PFT are the most attentive and knowledgeable I’ve seen. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It is more than just a gym to my wife and I. The coaches and members have become great friends, and new members are always welcomed. Less
The best gym in the area. Coaches/owners are HIGHLY skilled at what they do, and at maximizing everyone's strength and cardio potential. Have met a lot of great people here. Fun competitions and social events. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to get serious about fitness and nutrition....while having a good time.
I can't say anything negative about PFT! I first started working out here in 2016, due to some other commitments, I stopped going for almost 2 years.

Excellent community, staff, and programming. Can’t recommend this place enough for anyone who is looking to obtain a healthier lifestyle and fitness routine.
Great atmosphere to work out. Members of all ages and abilities who are always supportive of each other’s efforts. Very positive environment with excellent coaches and trainers. Well thought out conditioning / workouts and strength training / programming for both the short and long term also set PFT apart from other gyms. Great community like a second home

If you are looking for a great workout, and a great place to get that workout, I would highly recommend Performance Factory Training for a couple of reasons. One, the workout. The highly functional workout that CrossFit provides is second to none. There is something very satisfying about lifting a heavy weight above your head and letting it crash down to the ground! Two, the coaches. The coaches are both very knowledgeable and supportive of your individual goals and capabilities. They are constantly focused on ensuring that members are using the correct form on every lift. They also work very hard to make accommodations for each individual’s abilities and limitations. Whether you are coming to the gym for the first time in your life or you have an injury you want to be careful with, they will work to provide variations in the workout that will still allow you to participate. Three, the people. The environment at PFT is second to none. The people are all friendly and supportive. Whether you are fit enough to qualify for the CrossFit games or can’t yet do a single burpee, you will find that you get camaraderie and support from all the other members. And, given the number of PFT get togethers (summer golf outing, Halloween party, baby showers, poker night, etc.) it really does speak to the sense of community this place has developed. Less
Great workout, instructors and community
I dropped in here for a little more than a week, the coaches, community and space are absolutely outstanding! I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for a box in the area.
Top notch facility. I could not recomend a better place to go. Not only are the owners knowledgeable, professional, and courteous, they work on site day to day and empower their members to the besr of their abilities. The members are all super nice, and the environment is friendly, like a family.
Super friendly and knowledgeable trainers! They make challenging yourself fun!
PFT CROSSFIT is the best place to workout in the Chicagoland area! The gym has a great atmosphere and a great community of people who are fun and welcoming! I just started CrossFit a couple of weeks ago and really enjoy it! If you are looking for a challenging yet satisfying workout check out PFT CrossFit
If you’re weak and scrawny like me and wanna get strong...here’s your answer
Fantastic atmosphere! Very knowledgeable couches! Great customer service (very responsive) ! I am new to CrossFit but have never felt out of place... everyone here is very supportive. I get feedback on my form which is important to me and some good advice on recovery and maintenance. All in all .. I highly recommend this box!
This is an excellent sized gym with plenty of space. I'm a taller man so I was happy to see so many pull up bars at a friendly height to also do muscle ups on. Highly recommended!
It's hard to believe it's only been a year and a half since I first joined PFT. Thanks to the watchful eye of Josh (who's slight edge corrections are amazing), the help from all the staff, and the amazing community of people, I've been able to acquire additional skills and increased strength in a competative yet support-full atmosphere. Can't wait to see what the next years bring
This program has really helped me improve my strength and stamina. Would recommend everyone to join 👍
Our boys have been working with Aaron at PFT since it opened. It is an awesome gym and our boys are super motivated while keeping really fit.
I've been at PFT since January, was hesitant on joining and now thrilled that I did. It's a top notch facility and the team of trainers are awesome, and the folks that go there are all good people. What a change to join PFT rather than a traditional gym where Josh and his team truly care about the members, and everyone there is friendly and help each other out.

I've been at PFT since January, was hesitant on joining and now thrilled that I did. It's a top notch facility and the team of trainers are awesome, and the folks that go there are all good people. What a change to join PFT rather than a traditional gym where Josh and his team truly care about the members, and everyone there is friendly and help each other out. And most importantly, if you're not sure if CF is for you, trust me it works, and at PFT you'll enjoy it, too. Less
Great gym. Knowledgeable and motivating trainers. The people who attend are all so nice.
You couldn't ask for a better staff. The coaches are friendly, knowledgeable and constantly supporting your improvement, form and motivation. I'm very fortunate to have found this gym.
Josh and Erin are really awesome coaches. They create an fantastic training environment in this box. Very clean and well equipped. All of the members that I have met are really nice and welcoming. I really enjoy working out here.
