The staff could be more engaged for sure, the staff deserves only 2 stars, but the overall facility and newer equipment is a solid 4 stars.

The class is 50 minutes and trust me you are working just about every minute of that. Kelly the instructor is a great motivator! If it wasn't for her energetic attidute and genuine excitment to get our butts moving, I don't think I could have gotten through it on that sleepy Sunday morning. The classes are small whichs allows for a more personal feel. Kelly will take the time and make sure you are doing the moves correctly in order to get the most out of your workout. She is extrtemely knowlegdable in both fitness and nutrition...I'm telling you, this girl knows what she's doing. She also makes sure to learn all the participants names to help encourage you along the way....how cool is that? Not only are you getting a personalized workout but did I mention it's affordable? These classes will not break the bank like some of the other downtown gyms...and also you do not need to sign a contract which allows for a lot of flexibilty within your schedule. I couldn't be happier with the workout that I recieved from Kelly at Barre it All. I am still feeling the affects of it two days later (no joke). I think this gym is a great addition to the area and I can't wait to try some of the other classes offered:)

Tristan was the manager on duty both days I've been in and I cannot stress enough about how awesome and professional he was! If you're into cardio, you're in luck because they have a line of cardio equipment, and it's all updated. If you have an Apple Watch, you can literally tap your watch to the machine and it syncs all your info in less than 2 seconds. It gives you updates in real time on your watch and on the workout screen. They have two shower rooms, and they provide towels (face towels, body towels, and workout towels), just don't take them with you lol. They have hampers for you to discard them for rewashing. The showers are extremely clean. All of their machines and free weights are new and up to date. They have a few machines that I wasn't even familiar with because it's so new. They have so many attachments for their weight towers, take your pick lol. They have a vending machine with many items to choose from if you're on the go. Overall, this place is a 10/10, would definitely recommend.

Whoever bought it a few years ago it's never been the same. Sinks in the women's bathroom, temperamental or didn't work at all. Machines broken for the last few months have never been repaired.

I completed the on-ramp classes with Coach Craig. I had done CrossFit back in Chicago in 2018, so I definitely needed a refresher. Coach Craig was amazing, he took his time explaining each movement step by step, provided accommodations when certain exercises didn't work for me, and used great analogies and perspectives that helped everything click. He has a great spirit and makes learning feel comfortable and encouraging. In October, I started running again by joining the run club, completing 3.41 miles at my own pace. I used to run years ago with a group of women running on the Lake Shore Drive and really enjoyed it, so it felt good to get back into that space. I currently attend the 5:00 a.m. class so I can stretch afterward and still have time to get home and get ready for work. I've also really enjoyed the 6:00 a.m. class with Coach Estefani. She always greets you with a smile, asks how you're doing or how your weekend was, reviews proper form, and gives helpful feedback. She consistently pushes you to go harder and lift heavier in the best way. Estefani encouraged me to join the run club, attend DEKA training classes, and even sign up for my first DEKA race. Even when I give her the side eye during certain workouts or tell myself I can't do a move, she always reminds me to try first or offers a modification. I also love hearing her fitness and race stories they inspire me and make me believe that maybe I can do those things too. The other coaches are great as well. Overall, this gym has an amazing community where people genuinely encourage and support one another.

The focus is always on functional exercise allowing you to remain active throughout your lifetime. The coaches allow and encourage you to challenge yourself but do it without injury. They offer suggestions on how to modify an exercise so that you are successful. There are also a number of members who are true athletes and have been quite successful in state, National and world competitions. Besides all that, the members are a fun-loving group and always are welcoming and encouraging to new members. It is NOT your typical big box gym. Pricing varies and can include discounts. Free child care is also available during classes. All age groups are welcome. At various times of the year they have even have separate classes for children and teens based on school schedules. Give it a try and I'll hope to meet you there.

I joined Stone Age Crossfit two months ago looking for a challenging workout each morning before…read morework. With virtually zero prior experience with Crossfit I went through the one on one fundamental sessions with Sarah. Sarah was incredibly patient as I messed up every technique I was taught in ways many would not think were possible... In short I was a hot mess. Despite my apparent lack of conditioning and coordination Sarah remained the perfect cheerleader. The fundamental one on one sessions proved invaluable. Other Crossfit gyms I made enquiries with were happy to let me join their classes without completing the one on one sessions. With the benefit of hindsight I was glad I didn't elect that option as it would make for a very dumb decision! The early morning classes range from hard to really really hard. There is no easy days. The classes are small enough that the coaches are always able to keep you on track. If you can't do a part of the workout the coaches are quick to show you a modification. What I enjoy most is the sense of satisfaction you get from doing some especially difficult each morning. There is a strong community vibe here also. Everyone has been very welcoming.

I've been a loyal member of CFX for over 20 years, through the highs and lows, enjoying the…read morecommunity and atmosphere that once made this gym a welcoming and professional place to train. However, after my recent experience, I am appalled and disgusted by the way I was treated--and ultimately banned--because of a rude, disrespectful young employee who clearly has no understanding of customer service, let alone basic decency. Let me be very clear: this type of treatment would have never happened under the Vrdolyak ownership. Back then, the gym staff was courteous, professional, and actually valued long-term members like me. They took pride in their business and treated every member with respect, regardless of how long they'd been there. Under the new management, it seems that's a thing of the past. It all started with a young employee who, from the beginning, had a major attitude problem. I've seen bad attitudes before, but this one was particularly appalling--eye rolls, curt responses, and an overall disdain for anyone who dared to ask a question or need assistance. I initially brushed it off, thinking maybe she was having a bad day. But after multiple encounters, it became clear that this was her standard behavior. And on one specific day, after yet another rude exchange, I decided enough was enough. I contacted the gym manager, expecting some level of professionalism and a resolution to the issue. Instead, I was blindsided when, instead of addressing the employee's behavior, I was banned from the gym! After 20 years of loyalty, decades of my hard-earned money going to this place, I was effectively kicked out because the management wanted to protect an employee with a horrible attitude rather than hold her accountable for her actions. This wasn't just a slap in the face to me--it's a complete betrayal of the values that this gym used to stand for. They clearly don't care about their long-term members anymore. They don't care about respect, or loyalty, or anything that made this gym great back in the day. It's all about protecting bad behavior from their new, poorly trained staff. CFX Gym has gone downhill, fast. If you've been considering joining, I'd highly advise against it. If this is how they treat long-time members who've invested years into their business, imagine how they'll treat newcomers. I'm beyond disappointed in what CFX has become. Under the Vrdolyak ownership, this kind of nonsense would have been dealt with swiftly and fairly. Now? It's all about saving face for the management and throwing out members who dare to expect decent treatment. What a shame. Avoid this place at all costs.

I also like how much mobility work is incorporated into each session. The facility is clean and the members are welcoming and respectful. Also, nice location and convenient scheduling for before and after work.
