When I decided to give Crossfit Beverly a try, I wasn't sure what to expect. After hearing my sister talk about how fantastic it was a, I thought, 'Why not give it a try?' As someone who has been part of a team my whole life and has tried so many different kind of work out routines, I immediately felt like CFB was the perfect match for me. Since day one I have felt myself growing both mentally and physically stronger, pushing my limits and trying out new things. Every class brings on new challenges that leave me with a great sense of accomplishment. As someone who is NOT a morning person, I find myself easily waking up at 5am to jumpstart my day with a WOD. This alone is the ultimate proof that CFB is working for me! While CFB is competitive, it is as equally an extremely supportive environment. The sense of community is awesome. When someone reaches a milestone, like completing a muscle up for the first time or moving from the bands to the bar for pull-ups, John announces it to the whole CFB community and the celebration and support comes pouring through. When people are the first to finish the WOD, they cheer on those still working hard and encourage them to give it their all. Pats on the back and 'Good job!' are commonly seen and heard at the Box. John and the rest of the coaching staff are great instructors and leaders. They take the time to show proper technique and form, and really push us to be better athletes. I would suggest CFB to anyone, regardless of skill and fitness level. Everyone has got to start somewhere, and CFB offers the support and training to is the perfect place to start! Thanks John! read more

I have been researching CrossFit and its lure. I was invited to stop by for a workout and base my opinions on my experience as to whether or not to join. I walked into CrossFit Beverly and was given a warm greeting and had the workout of the day explained to me. The other members introduced themselves to me and made me feel at ease. The workout was tough but good. I was hooked. I joined in the middle of June 2012. I have to say, all the instructors are very knowledgeable and have a great passion to help anybody that needs or asks for it. This Box is very unique. John, the owner tries to very up workouts, outings, and events to the members of CrossFit Beverly. The members are people from the neighborhood, so meeting and encouraging each other means something more than just coming in for a workout. The Instructors encourage you to start at a beginner pace and want you to ease into advancing yourself in the CrossFit workouts. CrossFit Beverly wants to see you healthy, not push you so hard you get hurt. I have been going at least 4 days a week with positive results seen by me and my peers, oh and my bride! To this date, I have lost 30lbs and am in the most shape I have been in 9 yrs. I want to thank CrossFit Beverly, the instructors, and the members for pushing me with consistent motivation. I am now going for my Level 1 CrossFit trainer. I did go to try out another CrossFit Box, and I felt like I had to take my shirt off at the door in order to get in and match physiques with the other fellas. I did not like it. CrossFit Beverly, you keep your shirt on and leave your bravado at the door! read more

CROSSFIT BEVERLY HAS GIVEN ME A NEW LEASE ON LIFE! I was a 40 pound overweight couch potato with elevated cholesterol on a fast track to heart disease. I attempted to lose weight through various workouts but was unable to find one that motivated me or produced lasting results. CrossFit Beverly changed all that. CrossFit Beverly produced significant results for me. After the first week of the onramp my energy level began to increase and I was hooked. Within three months I had lost 11 pounds. My strength, flexibility and confidence all skyrocketted! And I received a clean bill of health from my doctor. At six months of working out at CFB I have lost a total of 20 pounds. Now I am addicted to CrossFitting! Coaches provide exceptional knowledge, varied challenges, encouragement and support. Where else could you go to work out and get cheered on? Thanks to John M. for bringing CrossFit to the Beverly Neighborhood. What are you waiting for? Join CrossFit Beverly for the most effective workout of your life! Wendy Chicago, IL read more

Note: I am not a workout person! I saw the quick results on a friend who had finished the on ramp. Then, a month later, I heard all about it at a chic-gig ( a.k.a. Girls night out). You would have thought they were talking about...absolutely anything other than kettle bells and burpees! Finally I went in. Warning: this is not a workout for fashionistas! Everyone is working together to encourage and challenge themselves, everyone is sweating, everyone was a different shape and size, and throughout the space is a positive vibe!. "Leave your ego at the door and welcome!" it can be a rough workout at times, and you will be sore at first, but you are taught by skilled, experienced, and approachable trainers within small groups and everyone helps you get through it. Habits are restructured and friends are made not to mention tone restructured and muscles rediscovered. I'm a lifer as long as CFB is here! Thanks!!! read more

I have done the aerobics classes, I have joined gyms, and I have done classes. I didn't love any of them. I found them annoying and crowded and mundane. I even bought an elliptical (which is for sale if anyone is interested) so that I didn't have to go to the gym. Meh - didn't work. I'm not an athlete at heart. Quite frankly, my nickname growing up was clutz! I had trouble with coordination - let's leave it at that. I love the CF WODs (even though it may seem I don't sometimes). I am challenging myself and getting great support in the process. I now have new goals - to complete the WODs as prescribed one day. I'm slowly getting there, some things come quicker than others. But I love that I can go in to each WOD and know that I will accomplish something, possibly something knew. John and his staff are amazing people. You have to check it out! You will never have a better workout in your life. read more

CrossFit Beverly is a true gem on the Southside. It is nice not to have to travel Downtown or to a far away suburb to get a challenging and unique workout. You do not have to be an ex-athlete to reap the benefits of this program. CrossFit does not discriminate on age, gender, or athletic ability. John and Chris are great at motivating and critiquing your perfomance. If you are looking for a challenging workout outside of your normal training and comfort zone, be sure to check out CrossFit Beverly. read more

Crossfit Beverly is amazing! It has become my home away from home. I was never super athletic and was scared to try something new, but the coaches at CFB are so welcoming that I was never intimidated. It's the best workout I've ever experienced and the community that Cfb has is more than I could ever ask for! The class times are convenient and never super packed so you get personalized attention if needed. Seriously, the best gym ever! read more
