BUYER BEWARE! Out of all the fitness equipment companies out there, this is one you should…read moreabsolutely avoid. There are far better, more trustworthy options than this shady operation. I found a NordicTrack treadmill listed on their website and placed an order. Shortly after, the owner, Evan Lyons, contacted me claiming the item was mispriced--but assured me he would honor the listed price. I explained that I had already placed an order directly with NordicTrack, but chose his company because it was cheaper, which is common with authorized resellers. He told me he'd coordinate with his NordicTrack rep to confirm the correct part numbers and proceed with the order. Then I received both a call and a text confirming the order was moving forward--and was explicitly told by his "rep" to cancel my direct NordicTrack order. At that point, I had over $50,000 tied up between the two purchases. When I contacted NordicTrack to cancel, I was hit with a 10% cancellation fee plus return freight charges. So now I'm already losing money. And what does this company do next? They suddenly refund my order because they no longer want to honor their commitment or pricing. No accountability, no integrity--just backing out when it no longer suits them. So now I'm left paying the price for their incompetence and dishonesty. Thankfully, I've involved legal counsel to recover my losses. I also have every text message, voicemail, and email documenting this entire situation, which will make the legal process straightforward. This company put themselves in a bad position and instead of doing the right thing, they chose to screw over their customer. That tells you everything you need to know. Do yourself a favor--find a reputable company. And take a very close look at their reviews. Ask yourself how many of them are actually real.

Great experience! I had the pleasure of dropping in from out of town and the experience did not…read moredisappoint! Colin was an excellent coach, super proficient with his movement demonstrations and very clear on providing direction! I was ecstatic that they use the level method here since my home gym uses that and I'm familiar it already! The programming was very clear and allowed for enough time to properly warm up, and complete the skill/strength portion of the workout before moving into the WOD. Colin was super encouraging and motivating, while also giving me some coaching on points of performance to improve my movements. I highly recommend reaching out ahead of time and getting signed up online, it was a super easy process! The facility is clean, spacious, and well equipped with all the essentials! I'll definitely be back here next time I'm in town!

There are few times that I have actually looked forward to work on out. Much less at a place wheee…read moreI have seen people get turned away for their lack of athleticism. Picture a 330 lb. man who has been an Allstate athlete about 15 years ago... that's me! I was a little wary when I decided to see how it would work out (pun intended). The coaches were and are some of my favorite people in the world. They base the intensity of the WOD to what you need individually. Modification is key and they are absolute experts at it. I am now addicted to cross fit and will be here for the long term. I've not just lost weight (8 weeks in down 15 lbs) but have started replacing it with muscle which is not helping me to burn even more fat! Can't recommend it enough.

Crossfit Crystal Lake is above and beyond an amazing gym…read more I've tried any number of gyms throughout my years... Lifetime, Centegra, Anytime, and others. But CFCL "raises the bar" above and beyond the others. The owner, Joe, has always been absolutely awesome to work with and it shows. He not only believes highly in his gym, but his community as well. The coaches, Joe, Jesse, Ryan and Troy are the ones I've worked with so far and are above and beyond the gold standard of coaches/mentors/trainers. They bring a lot to the table and their instruction is easy to understand and will work with you on anything you may or may not be comfortable with. This gym is next level and absolutely worth giving a shot. They have an amazing community, exceptional trainers, and you always get a workout you'll be proud of. As a "definitely needs work" 43 year old, I was a little skeptical about this style of workout, and concerned about working out with such exceptional athletes. After your first session you'll at CFCL you'll understand why the Crossfit community is crazy awesome. The folks their are extremely welcoming and supportive of anyone on any fitness level. Give this place a shot. You won't regret it.

I can't recommend Prevail Athletics highly enough! I have been coming here for about a month now,…read moreand I love it! I have trained under most of the coaches at least once, and they are ALL amazing! Everyone is so encouraging and welcoming, including the other members. The workouts are always challenging, but so rewarding. The coaches are all great at pushing you when you need it, but also give you the space you need when you can't push any harder. I have two kids under two and getting to the gym itself is a challenge, not to mention I am still learning my new body and what I'm capable of. I feel so comfortable at this gym, working out with and around people of all ranges of athletic ability. If you're looking for a gym where you feel comfortable, encouraged, and part of a team, definitely give Prevail a try! They have two programs- PrevailFit and SweatFit. I suggest trying out of each class to decide which is best for you to achieve your goals! *Also worth mentioning- the gym is well-maintained and clean, has a kids room, and utilizes a very user-friendly app. Kristina truly runs a great program here.

They have both early morning, late morning, afternoon and evening classes which work well with my schedule. I've been exclusively doing their "SweatFit" class which is a combo of cardio and strength and will kick your butt. All of the trainers I've met so far are fantastic. They are motivating (which I desperately need), enthusiastic but most importantly they care about making sure you have great form and are pushing yourself to do better. Can't wait to keep going and build my strength and endurance here! Highly recommend.
