Chicago Elite Fitness - Home of Bucktown CrossFit - Chicago (IL)

5 /5 Jeff Girten: When I moved to Chicago, I was looking for a new CrossFit gym and I couldn’t have found a better place! Andrew, Bridget, and the entire coaching staff are amazing. They perfectly balance a welcoming atmosphere with personalized attention to help you improve as an athlete. Couldn’t recommend CEG, or the seller community, more!

5 /5 Kristina Dundas Rothenberg: I joined Chicago Elite at 8 months postpartum, having zero experience with CrossFit, and was so pleasantly surprised to find the most supportive coaches and community. It’s now been over two years and I’ve grown stronger, more confident and made life long friends. Highly recommend all the coaches - Bridget, Andrew, & Matt are just the ones I take classes from most often - I trust them to help with scaling options and they always push me to get better.

5 /5 Deshoun White: Bucktown CrossFit is the first CrossFit gym I have ever tried, and it is my first time doing CrossFit. Overall, I have I positive outlook on the gym and the staff that work here. The staff is motivational the music that they play gets me revved up and the group of people that you work out with kept me going as well. There are many levels of cross fitters, so I never felt out of place some were just beginning as I were and some have done it for some time, but they never make you feel less than. The members are just as helpful as the coaches are. The workouts are challenging and gets your blood pumping fast, so it was just what I was looking for I wrestled for a living so giving it all you have for a short period sounded way too familiar. I do not think I would have been able to complete the 6 Week Challenge if it wasn’t for everyone at Bucktown CrossFit they make it easy to want to come back and work hard not only for yourself but others around you because they cheer you on and help want to push you further. I would recommend Bucktown to anyone who is interested in CrossFit or just looking for a great place to get in shape while listening to great music. Oh and I think you can bring your dog too.

5 /5 Ross Smith: Do the 6 Week Transformation Program. Do it! Commit to it 100% and the result will speak for itself. Get in there and sign up now! I was always reluctant about CrossFit. Even after I was talked into going in to my first class I was hesitant. I am happy to say I could not have been more wrong! Bucktown CrossFit is amazing. The facility is great, the staff is awesome and the other members are so friendly. I immediately started up in their 6 week Challenge. I have been an active person my whole life, but this program took me to a whole other level. They sat me down and asked me about my goals, provided me with a diet plan specific to my goal and then asked me to fully commit to it. It was not hard to commit after seeing incredible results in the first week. My accountability coach Matt followed me through it and regularly encouraged me and congratulated me with each week I made progress. My goal was to lose body fat and I do not exaggerate that fat literally melted right off of me each week. I do not regret a single early morning class because even when you dont think you have it in you, the staff is right there the whole way to give you the advice, technique and confidence to tackle any workout you walk into. Going into the last week of the 6 week challenge I was down to below 10% body fat and had not been this lean since cutting weight for high school wrestling. I am looking forward to each and every challenge presented by Bucktown!

5 /5 Luke Dawahare: I joined the gym after spending years going to more traditional gyms. At the time, I was burned out and really saw the gym as a chore and just a box to check off. CEF really changed my whole mentality! It was awesome to join such a welcoming community and have such great workout programming! The coaches are very friendly and knowledgeable. They prioritize teaching proper technique and skills which was great for learning new lifts. I cannot recommend CEF enough!
