All WOD's can be scaled to meet your needs. There is plenty of space to workout and enough equipment so that you don't have to share - okay, occasionally you may have to share a rack but that's part of the community. They have a variety of equipment including ski ergs, bike ergs, concept 2 rowers, runners, and plenty of dumbbells. The gym is always clean and there is a well-stocked hydration station. What really sets CrossFit Illuminate apart from the other local boxes is the community. EVERYONE is welcoming, encouraging, and friendly!

FitBody…read moreBootcamp uses high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to get the most bang for your workout buck in the 45 minutes you spend there. Every workout is different, so boredom isn't a factor. The trainers break up strength training circuits with bursts of cardio for a workout that is different every time. And it's all indoors, so no 5:30 AM parking lot workouts! Yay! The atmosphere is friendly and judgment-free. If you need a break or need to modify a move the trainers will fully support that. Groups are generally small and everyone is welcoming. While there are some super-fit people, the majority of the members are working on their fitness goals and come in all shapes and sizes. There is no intimidation whatsoever! So, why not 5 stars? The cost. I lucked upon a Groupon that made going very affordable, but regular membership is in the ballpark of $125-$150/month for one person, depending on the plan you select.

Cancelling a membership here has been an absolute nightmare. I've followed every instruction…read morethey've given me, and I'm still getting billed months later. Communication is inconsistent, promises aren't followed through, and the burden is always on the customer to fix their mistakes. It feels like they make it as hard as possible to stop billing your account: which says a lot about how they value their members when they want to cancel. It's in the breakup that a gym's true character is shown, and this place failed the test. Trying to end my membership turned into a dragged‑out, confusing mess of "we'll take care of it" followed by more surprise charges. It shouldn't be this hard to leave a business you no longer want to be with.

I talked to kaylin and confirmed that I sent a letter to cancel my membership and to stop taking money off my card and she said she would freeze my account so it did not happen again. Well it kept happening over and over...five and six times a day. Everytime it would decline I was charged. I sent an email to the General Manager...Cody...and he never replied. This was very unprofessional. I am now forced to file a police report and go to court which will cost me more money upfront... I am not letting this go...it is no longer about the money, but about putting a business on notice, that I will not allow them to take money from me and get away with it. There will be a penalty for their criminal behavior. TJA

I've worked with trainer Breon only and enjoy his energy! You will enjoy his little "nuggets" of inspiration like, "There is no progress without process" while you're running at incline 5/6mph, makes you want to push yourself harder to achieve your goal. That made me think days after class and how losing weight or just getting healthy is a journey and what we put into it, is what we get out of it. If you put your all into every class you take, then you are guaranteed to get over 500 calories burned within 1 hour but it depends on how hard you try. How bad do you really want it?! Plenty of parking, great peeps trying to reach similar goals and the fact that I can burn hours after, make it a great investment.

Very disappointing experience with management and billing…read moreI'm leaving this review because my overall experience with OrangeTheory was extremely frustrating, particularly when it came to management, billing, and communication. When I initially signed up, I was given certain offers and expectations regarding pricing. Unfortunately, the management team did not ultimately honor or align with what was communicated to me initially. As a result, I ended up paying more than I expected because the original offers I was given could not be followed through. The customer service from the front-line staff was also disappointing. Whenever I had questions or needed help with billing or them charging me twice..., I was repeatedly told that someone would call me back. Unfortunately, those callbacks rarely happened, leaving me having to follow up again and again. I also emailed the owner, Chase, directly regarding my questions and concerns and never received a response. For me, that was particularly disappointing because I expected that escalating a billing/customer-service issue to the owner would at least result in some kind of response. To be fair, the instructors have been the bright spot. I've had good experiences with several of them, and they have been helpful, encouraging, and professional. My issue is not with the workouts or the instructors -- it is primarily with the management and the way the business handled my membership and billing concerns. After dealing with all of this, I'm ultimately happy that I decided to stop going. The experience left me feeling that the initial offers were not reliable and that communication regarding billing was unnecessarily difficult. My personal advice: if you decide to join, make sure you fully understand the pricing and cancellation terms and consider a month-to-month option rather than committing to a longer contract. Get any promotional offer or pricing agreement in writing before signing anything. For me, the lack of follow-through and communication from management outweighed the positives of the experience. I expected much better customer service and accountability.

I don't remember what my first workout was, but I do remember hearing it and thinking "How do I get…read moreout of here?" I thought I was a goner. But it turns out that when I (or anyone) can't do the workout of the day as "prescribed", the workout can be modified. The point is to push yourself and the coaches know all the great ways to "scale" a workout to meet the athlete where they're at (whether due to strength, flexibility, or injury-related limitations) and while still employing the intended stimulus of the workout (like by doing jumping pull-ups rather than regular pull-ups; or ring rows rather than jumping pull-ups; or nearly-standing ring rows rather than ring rows; etc.). In the nearly 3 years I've been going there, the focus on "constantly varied" exercises, along with plenty of focus on nutrition (not in the classes, per se, but through challenges and general conversations), has enabled me to drop about 40 pounds of weight and 6" to 8" of waist-line, and am still continuing the effort! Also in those three years: I conquered the climbing rope; I can almost string together multiple "double-unders" (jump rope going under your feet twice in a single jump); took about 2:30 - 3:00 off of my 1 mile run time; nearly achieved a 400 pound deadlift; and so much more! Plus, I've made friends and have also done "drop-ins" at other CrossFit gyms when traveling (in the U.S. and other countries) and find the global community to be nearly as welcoming as CrossFit Cincinnati has always been. Being able to get off the couch without bracing myself against pain in my knees, being able to squat down to pick up after my dog or to manage laundry using my front-loading washer and dryer, being able to kneel and get a good bow in my shoelace, being able to serve as "muscle" for my wife who needs bags of dirt and other heavy-and-sometimes-awkward items moved around so she can do the gardening she likes to do, being able to go up stairs without getting winded... All of this (and more) has come from CrossFit and the terrific (and caring) coaches at CrossFit Cincinnati!
