The brick style building, street parking, industrial vibe just puts you in the mood to lift heavy stuff! This is a true strength and conditioning box, and the CrossFit programming was on point! I found it super easy to sign my waiver and pay for my drop in ahead of time through their website. When I walked in, I was immediately welcomed by the staff and other athletes. I also received some great coaching cues from the various coaches who ran the classes over my 2 days dropping in. Get this, they also have open workouts for traveling drop ins.. score! Can't recommend this place enough for drop ins, or local athletes looking to take their strength and fitness to the next level!

Clean and organized studio in Rivernorth! I usually take Heated Flow 45 Vinyasa class here. The…read morevery recent class I had with Katie was not for beginners. This class helped me reduce muscle tension, and overall was challenging. Loved the class with Katie; however she didn't walk through the class and sometimes was less audible. My rating is more like 4.5/5. This particular Rivernorth studio has a brick like wall with not enough light. Needs more air circulation. They have check in desks at both the floors and can be confusing at times where exactly to go. That being said, one cool thing about this Studio is there's a coffee shop inside the same building so after a workout you can stop by. Overall it's worth checking out!

After going through the fundamentals course and getting into regular WOD classes, I quickly grew to love it. Neil, Holly, Dana, Jose and everyone else there is incredibly nice, funny and welcoming, and they make crossfit fun and completely not intimidating. The community of people there is incredible, and being a part of it has been so much more rewarding than I ever imagined. I've gotten into the best shape of my life, made many new friends, and accomplished things I never would've thought I was capable of. I truly looked forward to coming to class every time. Now that My wife and I moved, CE is the thing I'm missing most about the old neighborhood. CE is the gym that I'll forever compare any other gym (sorry, "box") against.

However, I felt my time here I was constantly getting pushed to lift heavier weights and going deeper with squats by certain staff members. That is a recipe for overuse injury.

There are a good number of reasons why I love this gym but I will give only three for the sake of brevity: 1) Skill development: Yes. We go to the gym and work out to get in shape but what else should we get out if it? I know at other gyms I would go, shut my mind off, and be a robot for an hour or two. The coaches here engage and encourage in a way that makes gym goers competent athletes. I've developed strength and technique here that I can take and use anywhere. And yes, you will look better naked. 2) Coaches: Again, this isn't the type of gym where you go in, blank out, and drive home alone drinking a protein shake. The coaches, JJ, Jess, and Amanda, know every athlete's name and physical abilities. And this gym goes beyond just working out. JJ and the others are constantly promoting and creating events and contests to encourage athletes to progress in the most fun and community building way possible. We just had a "Paleo Challenge" where winners won a free month of classes! 3) Community: Friends are easily found here. You will find encouragement from not only the coaches but the person next to you. You will find yourself cheering people on and clapping and yelling along with the other athletes. Do not hesitate to try this out. I believe a free trial class is held every Saturday. You will get your butt kicked, but you'll come back for more. And again, you will look better naked.

My sister fell in love with this place a couple of months ago and so, when I visited her in…read moreChicago, I knew that I had to check it out. We've both been on an exercise kick recently and she ensured me that Sproing was an excellent workout. During the first of my two workouts of the weekend, I found myself trying to adjust to the machine. It's a cross between a treadmill and a mattress. While the floor of the machine took a little getting used to, I was also facing backwards and strapped in, which made the whole thing a little odd at first. We sprinted, worked our core, did pushups, and used weights. It was a good, high impact workout that centered around interval training. Once I had a feel for the place, my second workout was even better. Cullen was an awesome instructor and he really kept us motivated, encouraging us to push ourselves until the last second. We could see if we were heeding to his advice by watching the big screens in the studio that showed us in real time how we were doing, based on our heart rate monitors. I got a great sweat in over that weekend thanks to the instructors and I found the desk staff to be very welcoming and helpful. The space is clean and new, the bathrooms are spotless and very "homey", and the equipment is sanitized regularly. This is a unique workout for sure and it can be tailored to your fitness level. Try it out if you have time.

Filled with enthusiasm and energy, the sproing fitness instructor definitely motivated each and every one of us to work hard and push ourselves to get the most out of the workout. A heart rate monitor will be attached to an elastic band that you strap around your waist. There is a screen that shows how each individual's % max heart rate which essentially shows how hard you're working out. You are attached to the sproing machine with a Velcro strap that you wrap around your waist and you do exercises on a soft, cushioned surface. The idea of sproing is to do running based high intensity interval training (HIIT) - 20 seconds of work intervals with 10 seconds of rest intervals. Each class is 45 minutes where it's 30 minutes of HIIT. At the end of the class, you get emailed a summary of your workout results which shows how many calories you burned. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Sure, it may feel like your body will give up on you and you'll feel really sore after..but it hurts so good. With an incredible staff + intense but fun workout, I highly, highly recommend sproing fitness!
