I dropped in here while traveling & had a great experience. The coach/owner Lawrence was super friendly & helpful, the class was welcoming, and the gym was clean & well equipped. I would definitely come back here next time I'm traveling through Chicago. Parking was also really easy & the location was not difficult to get to. read more

THANK YOU! read more

I moved to CFPR full time last year in June after relocating to Chicago area. I was looking for a good CF gym and this gym was very conveniently on a way to work. I never looked back. Community in the gym is very strong, people are friendly, coaches are top level, plenty of room, equipment is very solid. Lots of people are very competitive which brings out the best in me. Programming focuses mainly on conditioning and strong focus on technique of movements with elements of strength. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who's looking to get their fitness to the next level read more

Crossfit Park Ridge - Trainers Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

CFPR is a welcoming community that offers programming to a wide range of fitness levels. The coaches meet you where you are and then push just a little bit harder. The community is fun, friendly and supportive especially on the most difficult days. This is the place for you if you are seeking a personal challenge and the opportunity to improve your overall health and life. I am always happy when I walk through the door before class and even happier after I have completed something I never thought in a million years I could do! read more

I love this gym! I recently moved back to Chicago from Columbus, Ohio and happened to discover this brand new cross fit gym opening right down the street from my place. They've got all the standard equipment with plans to expand their collection. I'm pretty fit but haven't done much crossfit before. With the help of their GREAT certified trainers (one is even a physical therapist), I quickly learned all of the basic movements! They have continually given me feedback on my form to help me improve my technique and more importantly, prevent me from getting hurt. If you haven't done crossfit before, the workouts are varied so that you don't get bored, emphasize functional movement, and they only last an hour! But, it's CONSTANT activity, so for me it's much more productive than an hour of lifting. Crossfit is scalable, so not everyone does the same weights - I have seen people of all ages and levels of fitness at this facility! This gym has also teamed up with a 24/7 gym next door with key card access so that you can continue to get your sweat on even when the cross fit gym isn't open. After only a couple of weeks, I'm convinced that crossfit is the most time-efficient way to exercise. With my busy schedule, I plan to continue to come here for my daily work out. read more

Top notch community! Community is one of the first things I get a sense for when dropping into a CrossFit gym & it's truly unparalleled here. I was pleasantly overwhelmed with the amount of welcome I felt when I first dropped in. The facility is dope & has everything you need! This gym has definitely turned into my "home away from home" :) read more

I'm an out-of-towner and CrossFit Park Ridge graciously opened their doors to me. They've been open for less than a week and I found they really have their stuff together. Their trainers are friendly, experienced and it's evident they care about their clients. Thanks for hosting guys! Til next time. Myrna read more

I started Crossfit for the first time in my life 6 months ago, and I can say with out question Crossfit Park Ridge is absolutely exceptional. First the owner and all of the instructors are excellent. LJ the owner is a top notch teacher, and in crossfit being taught correctly can be the difference between success/failure and injury. The facility is state of the art with all top shelf equipment. Most important for me is the overall vibe of positive, healthy, inclusive behavior from all involved. Members, men or women are all completely rooting for each other to succeed. Because honestly just showing up is an amazing accomplishment. In 6 months my overall health has improved 10 fold. My strength is markedly stronger, and my body has changed in all the way one would hope for. This box is awesome. Thanks read more

I came in to visit family for the week and wanted to get a few workouts in. After a quick search and affiliate check at crossfit.com, it appeared CrossFit PR was a good option. Turned out great and I really enjoyed the drop in experience. I met LJ and Gerard first. Gerard set me up and I worked out when LJ coached. I was very impressed with LJ's knowledge and attentiveness. You can tell he has a passion for this sport and the well being of the community. These are the qualities most important to me because I like the technical aspects of CrossFit so proper technique and safe modifications are key to my fitness. The CrossFit PR facility is very nice. I happen to be here during some construction to expand and the place will be amazing when it is finished out. Even with a little dust, the facility is clean, well organized and not a distraction from the work you're set to do. Anyone interested in learning more about CrossFit or looking for a box because you're not sure your current one fits your needs, come here and talk to LJ and Gerard. You'll find a welcoming environment, great members (of the few I met) and a facility that has everything to challenge you day in and day out. I look forward to checking out the expanded facility the next time I'm in town. read more

Excellent facility, with a very entertaining staff. Gerard and Lawerence run a tight class, and always keep it exciting. They've put their heart and souls into the facility, and are constantly doing things to upgrade the facility as well as keeping the members happy. I know they are working on a larger expansion, which i'm excited for because of the potential for a HUGE FACILITY. If you haven't check them out, I highly recommend you to swing by, and try out a free workout. I believe m-w-f at 4:30pm are the free classes.... Enjoy that WOD! read more

Very friendly staff and accommodating to me as I am looking for a new box to join after leaving my last one. They have allowed me to try out classes with different coaches. Very welcoming. Their logging system is impressive. Gym is expanding. It is a ways away from my home and job but they are so friendly and accommodating it makes me want to drive the distance. read more

Great for a drop in!! Perfect if you are staying near the airport. Lawrence and Desiree are very welcoming and they write great programming (ass-kicking wod!). Smart coaching and supportive but challenging. Members were cool too... I am a member at SLC East affiliate but will be dropping in here any time I hit the Chi-city. Great facility and growing. Lots of space and new equipment. read more

Awesome gym, very welcoming and diverse group of athletes there. I was here for 2 weeks and their drop in policy was super generous, $25 for the week.

Awesome gym with fantastic coaches, great community that pushes eachother....highly recommend to anyone looking to change their health for the better. read more

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? read more

Amazing gym with amazing people. We need more places like this. Highly recommended.

Excellent service and great environment. I was only there for a few hours before my flight and they welcomed me with open arms. Spoke with one of the coaches about the goals they have for their presence in the community and I was very appreciative about what they want to accomplish. One of the best gyms I've been to. Thank you for the experience. read more

Boot fit class is excellent workout for those interested in a crossfit style work out minus the Olympic weight movements. Highly recommend giving it a try. read more

Every time I'm in town I drop in. The staff is amazing and very welcoming. Coach Joey does a phenomenal job with his classes. The gym is very clean and there is an abundance of equipment. I love this place! read more

When I found Crossfit Park Ridge, I thought I'd try a workout just to see what the hype was about. I was a working mom with 2 kids under 3 years old and I was ready to make a commitment to myself to be healthy and strong. When I first walked in the door I was intimidated, but the coach was really encouraging and supportive and I jumped right in. This place changed my whole life. I regained my sense of self. I regained my confidence. The strong women who train and coach here inspired me. The coaches were always there to support me and help me with my form. I lost nearly 40 pounds and lost 6.5 inches off my waist alone in 9 months! I have since moved away from the area and have tried other boxes, but none have compared. The people here are special, and I miss them dearly. Do yourself a favor and drop in for a class. read more

Came in from out of town for a wedding and wanted to get some workouts in - did a quick google and CrossFit PR came up. I called them up and asked if it was cool to drop in and was welcomed with open arms! These guys are very friendly, great talented coaches, happy crossfitters all around. The two I worked with were Joe and Brandon, both awesome dudes. Brandon especially is very technical and encouraging. $20 gets you drop ins for a week! None of that "per class" nonsense you see in some other gyms. Overall a great time, will definitely come back. read more

Great box. Well equipped and the coaches and members are very welcoming. Been there twice for a drop-in, and both times they had a fun chipper WOD. read more

Great first experience with cross fit! Whether you're an early bird or looking for an after work sweat, this is an awesome place to be a member. The community is welcoming and tight knit. The trainers are extremely helpful and knowledgable. I have been going for 4 months and feel right at home. Something I did not anticipate was how closely they monitor your performance and progress which is exciting for competitive people as well as those just looking to see their improvement day by day. Ass-kicking workouts on Saturdays and yoga on Sunday. 24/7 Gym next door membership included with membership here--awesome. read more

Great gym! New to Cross Fit and so far I love it. The gym (box) is clean, easy to use equipment and the trainers are fantastic. I love the group workouts and the motivation it gives me. All different fitness levels can do this. 4 sessions in the AM and 4 in the PM offers good schedule. read more

Great coaches and a great place to work out. You will learn a lot and you will sweat even more. Very friendly community and coaches. Highly reccomend it for first times and serious cross fitters. read more

I've been to a lot of CrossFit gyms around the country. This is one of my favorites. Great coaches and a great community. If you're in the area this one beats out the others. Go say hi!! read more

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. Probably like a lot of people starting Crossfit for the first time, I was nervous and intimidated. As soon as I joined CFPR I felt welcomed and successful. After more than a year I still can not RX every workout, but I always feel like I am getting better. The athletes at the gym are dedicated and encouraging. The facility has a wide variety of equipment that is well maintained. If you are considering Crossfit, I can not recommend CFPR enough! read more

Can't say enough good things about CFPR!! I was a CrossFit newbie and now I am one of it's loudest advocates. I had been using my rheumatoid arthritis as an excuse not to workout. LJ and his team have been there supporting me and scaling the WOD's for me to ensure I get the maximum results with no joint damage. With his guidance, I have gone farther than I ever imagined. The camaraderie of the members is so motivating and definitely keeps you pushing yourself to get better times/scores with each workout. I highly recommend trying it out one day and you'll be hooked. read more

This place is fantastic! Location is great! Trainers are very friendly and knowledgeable. Plus as a working parent, their children's room was a huge plus. Being brand new to crossfit, I was intimdated by the various techniques they utilize however the instructors have been very patient and take the time to explain each one. They take the time to correct you on your form and work with you. I have been running for the past year and half and working out another local gym on my own and have seen the results plateau. Since starting crossfit a little over a month ago, I love the results! I've lost weight, am stronger and my running has improved. I would highly recommend Crossfit Park Ridge to anyone. read more

Dropped in here while visiting family in Park Ridge. Great space with tons of equipment, friendly folks, great coaches and fun programming. Have dropped into a lot of gyms around the country, and these guys are great. Give them a shot! read more

My sister and I have been doing crossfit for a month now and we can already see our bodies transforming. We love this place! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We mainly work with one coach, LJ, and he is awesome. He is so friendly and most importantly he is informative, helpful, and really knows what he is doing. We have tried everything to get into better shape and so far crossfit is definitely the most effective and time efficient. We were so surprised on how friendly and welcoming everyone was when we first joined. Crossfit Park Ridge is by far the best crossfit gym on the northwest side to get in shape and better your body while being cost/time efficient. I highly recommend this gym to people of all shapes, sizes and age. read more

Dropped in today while breaking up my trip from Detroit to St. Louis and staying at my sisters nearby. Good box and programming. Will be back whenever I'm visiting my sister. read more

CrossFit PR is a great place! I was traveling for work and needed to get a workout in, and found them on the HQ Affiliate website. I looked online at a couple gyms in the area and I liked what I saw with CrossFit PR when it came to programming, coaches bios, and pictures of the facility. They were very receptive to me dropping in for a class, and it was a welcoming environment. Coaching staff was very knowledgable and also personable. The facility is fairly new, and I liked how clean and organized it was. Nice equipment and great coaches made for a great workout! I would recommend checking them out if your looking for an awesome CrossFit experience. read more

This Crossfit gym is by far the best gym in Chicago!!!! Great trainers, great crossfit community and great prices.
