Great atmosphere and great motivating and experienced intellectual coaches. The gym has and is still is getting me in the best shape of my life. As a professional athlete they have been so very comforting and supportive of my career passions that I feel everyone should know about them

A great gym of supportive coaches. Their programs can scale to match your level of experience and fitness and build from there.

This place is very motivating, when I started, the first week I decided this is the place I would always want to attend. Supportive and very friendly coaches, and very accurate plans for the classes. Recommend 100%

Phenomenal and supportive instructors, great atmosphere, and superb location.

Community, health, and wellness at its best!

A Great Place. Crossfit Park Ridge is not only a great gym facility and fitness program, but also a great community that welcomes all levels of ability.

LJ and his squad were amazing and welcoming from the start!! The gym is beautiful and if felt like my home away from home box The Friday Night Lights energy was electric & Kelly was so kind and shared her birthday 🍪🍪🍪 with us! Super grateful for the CrossFit Park Ridge hospitality and ability to do the CrossFit open while out of town on business!

Great place to drop in to! I was immediately treated like I had been a long term member, had a great workout with coach Lawrence who was very helpful and who took extra time to work with me on some technique. I really appreciated that and will absolutely be back next time I’m in town!

Awesome place to work out at, great staff and people

I've been a part of three different CF gyms before and this is where I chose to stay and make my home. Since my first day they have welcomed me with open arms, and they are a very tight knit community. They also offer a lot of open gym hours which helps with my ever-changing schedule.

My previous review was by an accident. I'm sorry, didn't realize I submitted the review! Crossfit Park Ridge is a great place to workout, and even better community with knowledgeable coaches that will push you to get the best out of you!.

I joined Crossfit Park Ridge because I wanted something akin to personal or small group training to get in shape for my wedding.

I joined Crossfit Park Ridge because I wanted something akin to personal or small group training to get in shape for my wedding. I started out in Late spring of 2016 in their “bootfit” program and took the CrossFit fundamentals workshop a few months later. Any shyness I felt immediately fell away as the members immediately welcomed me into their community. And that is what I feel and love the most about this gym—the community, support, and sense of family. I gained a tremendous amount of confidence and strength while training at this gym. At CFPR I learned to push myself and test my limits. I would never have trained for an intense law enforcement physical fitness test before I started at CFPR. Because I gained so much confidence, I trusted myself and my abilities and went for it. And I passed! I left the gym for a time because I moved out of the neighborhood. Then Covid hit, bringing quarantine and isolation. My CFPR family supported me through that time the most. As soon as they were ready and allowed to open, I came back despite the longer commute. CFPR has done a great job of following the guidelines of social distancing and cleanliness practices. I feel very comfortable, and they work to make all of their members feel welcome and respected despite our varying individual levels of comfort during this strange time. I am happy to call CFPR my home gym! Less

CrossFit Park Ridge has changed my life for the better!! The facility was recently renovated and everyone does their individual responsibility to clean ALL the equipment they use. The class schedule is very accommodating. The coaches and owners are knowledgeable and dedicated individuals. Everyone is friendly and supportive.

Love this box and the community! Great coaches, super supportive mates and great workouts!

I’ve been a member at CFPR for over 5 years, and being part of this community has changed my life. Everyone is fun, supportive and become an extension of my family. The programming and coaching keep me focused on my goals, often personalizing to my specific needs. There’s no better way to start my day than with my 5am crew!

I joined CFPR to get back into a strength routine September 2019. As a busy mom of twins it is easy to get all consumed with my kids needs and agenda. Reaching out to a dear friend and Chicago Barbell member she highly recommended I check out CFPR . I was quickly embraced by the community as were my children which is HUGE!

I joined CFPR to get back into a strength routine September 2019. As a busy mom of twins it is easy to get all consumed with my kids needs and agenda. Reaching out to a dear friend and Chicago Barbell member she highly recommended I check out CFPR . I was quickly embraced by the community as were my children which is HUGE! I have been to other CF gyms who are not as accommodating to younger children. LJ and Gerard are always quick to answer questions and give top notch coaching on form and technique. All of the coaches on staff are genuine and come with a variety of competitive and sports knowledge. I found this gym to be comprehensive as several formats are offered. If you are nervous about a full on CF work out no problem they have it covered BootFit or PR30 is the class for you. I love to cycle and PR spin (30 min) is a great way warm up to a full work out class or if you are in a time crunch. Yoga, well they have that too. The facility is clean, orderly and spacious. They take care to service the equipment making sure its all in top working order. Need some tweaking after a workout they have partnered with Unbroken Rehab and Fred is amazing. Being a mom and "older" athlete its nice to have someone to talk to on how to adapt a workout if my body isn't cooperating or assistance in additional supplemental exercises to support my gym workouts. And back to my babies they love the gym as well. They actually look forward to going because of the staff and they participate in the CF kids on Sundays. If you have an unlimited membership you can enjoy all of these amenities plus access to open gym time if you need. Oh yes and if they don't have it no problem you also get a special discounted monthly rate at the Barbell Compound as a CrossFit member. I like to use the heavy bags and some of the plate loaded machines at Barbell. I am sure by now you can tell I am a big fan and can't wait to get back to my regularly scheduled workouts....OH yes this community has some fun Competitions and group outings too ---So stop in to say HI and get your sweat on. .... You will love it I promise. Less

Crossfit Park Ridge is one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. The owners, Gerard and Lawrence, are responsive, knowledgeable, and truly care about their members. They have a great staff of coaches that keep classes fun and informative. It really does feel like a family being a part of this gym’s community. I recommend this facility to anyone and everyone!

Coaches are very supportive and they do an awesome job at scaling/breaking down the various movements! A very friendly and fun environment!!

CrossFit Park Ridge is a fantastic box in every way, great facility & programming, good variety of class and open gym times and the staff are super welcoming and attentive! Great experience and will definitely be back

Crossfit Park Ridge is amazing on every level. The coaches are some of the most encouraging people I have ever met and they really care about all the athletes and their progress.

Welcoming staff and a friendly membership make CrossFit Park Ridge an excellent place to workout and hit your next PR.

Incredible experience. Dropped in on a Saturday and Sunday morning and purchased a gym T-Shirt prior in the negotiation.

Incredible experience. Dropped in on a Saturday and Sunday morning and purchased a gym T-Shirt prior in the negotiation. Afterwards, I had one of the best instruction/coaching work out experiences I’ve ever had; led by Crossfit instructor Lawrence Jacobs on Saturday, and Yoga instructor Jennifer Hollister on Sunday. I explained to them that I've been working through a lower lumbar/back injury, and now in the days following my experience with them. I can already feel my back feeling better than it’s felt in months. I know they've helped me in my pursuit to conquer my injury and ailment, while in tandem pushing my physical limits to get better specific to my abilities. Thank you Crossfit Park Ridge. I’ll be back. Less

So glad I found Crossfit Park Ridge after moving to the area. The coaches are top notch, the facility is clean and organized, and the members are very friendly and crazy supportive. Just make sure you don't walk on the workout floor with wet shoes or you might have to do a burpee for every footprint. I'm just kidding about the last part — or am I?

This is a great community. Not only are the owners and coaches great, but the members are wonderful and they become like family.

My boyfriend and I are in a Chicago for business and did the drop in class at CF PR! The gym is well-organized and clean. Joey was great! He greeted us, got us signed up and gave us the tour! He also coached the WOD! He offered some very helpful tips that I'm excited to take back to my own CF gym! This is definitely going to be our go-to CF gym when we come back to Chicago!

This is the first cross fit gym I've ever been to. I started out in Boot Fit for about 2 weeks and loved the classes. It was a great introduction to what you might be getting into. The CrossFit classes were awesome also. The coaches were great about breaking down the movements during warm ups which reduced my chance of injury or looking rather foolish.

Atmosphere is amazing! Friendly coaches who are always there for you every step of the way on your fitness journey.

This is a great place to work out for any fitness level. Workouts are scaled as needed and there is a very supportive community.

Best local crossfit box. Great instructors. Great workout

Excellent coaching, friendly and welcoming to new people. All the right equipment and lots of it. We dropped in for the week from Idaho and had great workouts. We will be back next time we visit family here. Sharon and Fernando

Dropped in while in Chicago for a long weekend. Coaches were knowledgable & focused, facility more than enough and community was welcoming. It is a great box away from your box if your visiting Chicago.

After moving from Guatemala I finally found a Crossfit gym with the best prices in the area. Close to the airport, great community and excellent coaches. This is by far the best Crossfit Gym I've ever been to.

Great atmosphere with people who will help you become a better you

The trainers are with me every step of the way to ensure I am doing the movements correctly and also push me to achieve more. I have made new friends in the other members there that help me along the way. I have definitely seen results physically and have never had such a great outlook on being healthy. I encourage anyone who is looking for a different fitness routine to give this gym a try for 1 month and you will notice a change in yourself! Less

It's a great gym - unlike any other. Strenuous workout every time you go and different each time. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. Instructors are terrific, focused and watchful. I've recommended this program to many people.

By far one of the best things I have done for my health & wellness is joining CrossFit Park Ridge. I've lost weight, gotten lean & gotten stronger physically & mentally! When at the "box" I am surround by so many wonderful people from coaches to fellow members. If you have not tried CrossFit DO IT!! Try CFPR...you will not be disappointed.
