This is a quality establishment which is very professionally run. It has everything a quality…read morecrossfit Gym/Box should have. Top notch equipment, neat and clean environment and top class coaches. It also has something none of my previous gyms had -- a strong sense of community. All the coaches know me by name and understand my strengths and weaknesses. They know when to push me to set a new personal record and when to scale my work to confirm to my situation. I have not experienced this level of involvement from expert coaches in my previous gym memberships. My membership includes one free day of yoga a week which is icing on the cake for me. Thanks to the folks at Crossfit I now prioritize my health and look forward to gym day.

Many months ago, I came to a fitness "fork in the road". I was completely unsatisfied with standard…read moregyms, having belonged to them for 20 yrs. My workouts were stagnate. After hours and hours of work and eating very healthily, I just wasn't seeing the results I wanted. I was considering hiring a personal trainer at my (old) gym but hesitated because they were all rather unseemly and I didn't want to have to spend much one-on-one time with any of them. Not when they seemed to think that my face was about 9 inches south of where it actually was whenever I talked to them. Family members had been talking up CrossFit for years and it had always fallen on deaf ears. "Blah blah blah ..CrossFit" I was completely turned off by just the thought. I had read plenty of people's anti-crossfit blogs and was quick to say "See, CrossFit is just a bad fad." Then there was the expense. But after looking at what I would be paying to hire one of those meathead trainers vs paying for a month's membership for CrossFit, it was actually considerably cheaper ($150/mo). What was the harm in trying? It can be hard to find if you don't know where you are going. 630 is located in the same large business complex as DeEtta's Bakery, but in one of the industrial buildings in back. Behind Naperville North HS's baseball field. I walked into this "box" at 630 and from the moment I stepped foot, I knew I'd never return to a standard gym again. No meatheads walking around pumping in front of mirrors. There were no women wearing makeup and jewelry, walking on treadmills while they watched TV and yacked on the phone(major, major pet-peeve). In fact, there were no treadmills at all. No TVs. No mirrors. No glitz. Just a few row machines, bar bells, pull-up bars, ropes, kettle bells, jump ropes etc... no fancy equipment. It felt like a nearly empty room comparatively. It wasn't empty though; it just lacked distractions. The people are supportive. They cheer you on. Give you high fives. Push you to do more. And they notice when you're not there. It's a community. The first week, I was doing things I'd never done before at standard gyms. And every day, there was a butt kicking workout (WOD) planned out for me. I just show up and do it. People are at all levels. From college age kids to retired individuals. It's literally for everyone. I'd always read stories about people trying to lift too much and then getting injured doing CrossFit. It was always one of the negatives I clung to before trying CF myself. That was not my experience here. They watch your form. Sometimes I'm told to increase my weights but sometimes I'm told my form is off because it's too heavy and to drop to a lower weight. Nobody wants anybody to get injured; nobody is being irresponsible with my health and wellbeing, but ultimately that is up to the participant. I love that there's no yearly contract to sign. No sign up fees. It's just your flat monthly charge. Once you sign up with them, you can pay online or make adjustments to your account. CrossFit ruined me from ever joining a regular gym ever again. I honestly find them to be completely repulsive now. I still keep a membership at a regular one, in case I want to have a run and the Chicago weather doesn't welcome it. I'll use an occasional treadmill, but walking into the standard gym always gives me an immediate reminder for why I'll never again be that girl who goes to spin classes, only working the same few muscles. It's all so mind-numbingly boring to me now. Boring, yet distracting. I don't miss the women in the locker room putting on make-up and perfume *before* they head out to the floor to pretend they are going to workout. Or people who are more concerned with how they look while they exercise rather than how they're performing. I don't miss working out with TVs surrounding me. And I certainly don't miss the spin classes where I had to listen to Nickelback!! Joining CrossFit 630, was the best decision I ever made.

Who else can relate to this - you're home for a Christmas vacation and gyms in the area are…read morecharging $20 for a day pass? Ridiculous. We stumbled upon MPG through a google search before leaving San Diego for Plainfield. We called to inquire about day passes, and we were pleasantly surprised to find out they're only $10! After looking through pictures and seeing high praise in Yelp, we were in. We went for the first time today with free week passes I got from my parents. Unfortunately they weren't valid, but we were still able to get a week pass for $15! Even though we might only make it one more time, it still is a way better deal. The gym itself is better than what I expected. Plenty of machines and free weights, two deadlift platforms, a few racks, and a lot of machines I've only seen on IG but have been dying to use. There's also a huge section in the back for tire flipping or other functional training like rope climbing. It's also pretty impressive that they offer cryotherapy in the front of the house. Overall, this is a great gym. If I lived here I would definitely make this my regular gym, but alas I will just have to make it my spot for when I visit home. Thanks MPG!

The gym is good for getting your life back together, not unmotivating like commercial gyms, This…read moregym makes you work hard for your success and all the gym people are nice and help you out whenever you need.
