Rather than try to "review" CrossFit 1013, I would like to give my sincerest thanks for everything…read moreCrossFit 1013 has done for me and my wife. The owners, Norberto and Liliana, are amazing individuals who genuinely care about helping people be healthy and get in shape safely. I am constantly amazed at their abilities as trainers. In addition to Norberto and Liliana...Emilio, Carmella, Tom, Kelly, Tony, and Dean are also excellent trainers who add tremendous value to CrossFit 1013. Please visit: www.crossfit1013.com Just to give a bit of background as to why I joined CrossFit 1013. My wife had joined in September of 2012 and immediately I started to see the positive results. At 32 years old, I knew I needed to get in shape. I finally caved and went for a free trial class in November 2012. I couldn't finish the one hour program! I was ashamed of myself, but the trainers and everyone else in the class congratulated me for my effort. I signed up and started going once a week, then twice a week, and since June 2014 I go three or four times a week. By September 2013 I had lost a total of 55 lbs and dropped 6 pant sizes. I'm happy to report that the weight has stayed off. If you put in the work and effort you will be amazed by the results. What can you expect of CrossFit 1013? Classes are hands-on and last one hour. The trainers keep you moving from start to finish by giving clear, concise instruction, to make the workout efficiently challenging. Don't worry about not being able to do everything perfectly. The trainers will scale the movements of each workout to your level. Each class has no more than 12 students. Your class is your team...your unit. Everyone encourages and pushes one another to do their best. Expect to sweat and ache like never before. You will also find strength you never knew you possessed.

I've jumped from gym to gym trying out CrossFit and different facilities and now I've finally…read moredecided to settle down. CrossFit 1013 welcomes you with open arms. Norberto the owner/head trainer is very knowledgeable, humorous, and pushes you hard. I look forward to coming to CrossFit 1013, not only because I will get a butt kicking workout, but also know that if I'm struggling I will have 110% support, whether it's from complete CrossFit strangers or the trainers themselves. The atmosphere is not competitive, but it pushes you to want to get stronger, to want to be able to RX. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I do CrossFit as my workout. I encourage everyone to try CrossFit because it can be modify to many different levels and over a period of time you'll notice you're getting stronger and soon enough it'll become an addiction. Maybe I need CrossFit rehab? Nay, I think not.

I enjoy going to this gym, it's one of my local locations that i go to,…read moreIt's clean and bright. The locker rooms are nice and clean as well. You need a lock for the locker room. They have a nice lap pool that you can see through the glass window on the first floor There's 2 floors at the gym upstairs are the cardio, workout classes and basketball court. What I wish they had is a sauna or steam room which this location doesn't have. (However I did hear a possible remodel this summer...) The have an elevator too if you don't want to walk two flights of stairs. In the first floor are the weight machines and free weights the one on one training is an open space on the first floor. The staff is friendly, they also have a lounge area with a tv and outlets if you need to charge your phone or work on your laptop rest chill. They also have vending machines, prices kinda high but you're paying for convenience. Overall nice gym I go back to... and close to Mariano's and Starbucks that i also go to.

First, let me start with stating that I purchased a Groupon for unlimited boot camp classes at this…read moregym. When I showed up, I was told to stand in front of a tv that showed a list of exercises and was told I could do the beginner side or the advanced side. The advanced side was just more reps. These exercises included jumping jacks, air jabs and hooks, push-ups, 3 burpees, pike crunches, 1-2-3s, and 3 sit-ups. I was told to do as many rounds as possible in 25 minutes. There was no warm up or cool down. Then, the trainer left to go talk with a woman for the duration of my 25 minute workout. Once I was done he told me I could only come to 3 classes a week...when my Groupon was for unlimited classes. Then, the best part, he said that the workout was the same for a whole week! So for my 6 week Groupon, I'd only get 6 different workouts. Maybe he's a more attentive trainer to those that pay monthly, but from my experience, he was not very good. I could have looked up that workout on Pinterest and did it in my living room. It would have been the same as the workout at this gym since he never said anything to me the entire workout. I've been to many boot camps and this was by far the worst. I would not recommend this gym to anyone except those that have never worked out before. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because it might be a good starting point for someone just getting started in working out.

In comparison to other gyms, I think the Pavilion Fitness Center has a great value. I tried another…read moregym that cost about the same amount (I pay $25/month for a student membership, 1 month free if you pay in full), and the amenities I received at the other gym completely paled in comparison to what I get here at the Pavilion. Here, I get free towel service, free fitness classes, free access to the indoor/outdoor pool and sauna/hot tub**, free access to the indoor track, and free locker rental (which comes with a lock, unlike some places where you have to bring your own). **Note: The Pavilion has closed down all of the aquatic facilities here for renovation for about a year. That means that the pool access that was supposed to come with my membership is no longer valid. However, I will say that they have been pretty accommodating about this; they are letting people cancel their membership without a fee due to the pool closings, and they are offering some discounts at nearby pool facilities as well. If you compare the Pavilion to a big gym like Lifetime Fitness, the big gym probably has nicer bathrooms/showers, is bigger, and is open at all hours, but places like Lifetime also cost much, much more. Personally, I don't need a gym that is open 24 hours because I just go after work, and I like not having to fight for the machines here at the Pavilion. Even on its most crowded days, I can usually get the machine I want or only have to wait a few minutes to grab it. I should mention too that I have seen several new machines at the Pavilion in the year or so that I've been a member here, so you can tell that they keep up-to-date with the machinery. I also recently started attending the classes they offer with membership here. They are fun, and they don't get packed and crowded like some other workout classes I've gone to. I regret not coming to these classes sooner! My only complaint here is about the shower process. Sometimes it takes a while for the shower to warm up, and I can't seem to get it to be as hot as I want it. Also, I kind of wish they would change their shower curtains and maybe install regular hair dryers rather than just those hand dryers. I'd also like for them to invest in some bigger towels so my butt doesn't hang out. That'd be great. But, these are pretty minor complaints and I'd rather live with this and pay the amount I'm paying than pay double for something only slightly nicer. If you're a resident of Elk Grove Village, I would definitely recommend gym membership here (although maybe wait for the pool to reopen if that's a factor for you). ---Update--- They got brand new showers - hurrah!
