I'm currently dating around crossfit boxes looking for my new home. I did three different classes at this box. A typical WOD class. The programming included a strength portion and metcon. The strength portion was 40 percent by 5, 60 percent by 5, 70 percent by 3 etc. The WOD was deadlifts, pull ups, wall balls. The next day I tried the metcon class and then I tried the circuit fit class. I LOVE the options at this box as there might be a day that you are just sore and running on a treadmill mixed with lighter weights for 40 minutes sounds better than heavy weights. The box was clean and everyone was welcoming. They had single stall bathrooms with a shower. I didn't see any lockers, there are benches and cubbies in the front everyone puts their stuff in. Cons- no parking. read more

This box has gone through lots of changes. Bad programming, poor coaching, and a lack of effort by owners to make any significant upgrades or to address membership feedback knocked my rating down to 3 stars. Until they get their act together, I can't recommend this box. read more

Whoa! I thought I was athletic, until I tried Crossfit. I live down the block, and on my way home from CVS last Sunday I picked up a flyer for a free week. I went Monday-Thursday to try it out, but it it not for me. I do Bikram Yoga regularly and occasionally do some distance running, but Crossfit is a lot more intense. Personally, I do not like to compete while working out, and Crossfit does a lot of timed workouts which adds pressure to the already strenuous exercises. Coach Morgan and Coach Chris were great, but when I hear, "30 Handstand push-ups," I don't even know how to react. I can't even do a handstand. While one guy ran and sort of did a dive and splat on the wall (while attempting a handstand), another guy looked like he was in the Olympics and actually did the handstand push-ups. Then, I looked up how much it was to become a member to the gym, which has minimal equipment. During one exercise, I even had to run to Ace Hardware and back because there are no treadmills. It costs $225 to join the gym on a month to month basis, so I decided not to go back. For a gym that has minimal equipment, I would not pay that high of a membership fee. I would rather get a membership at East Bank Club or something. I gave it four stars because I understand the concept and the method probably does work, but I will just stick to running and yoga. I would recommend it to people that like to compete and socially work out. read more

Crossfit Logan is off to a great start. After a year at another box, I made the switch upon its opening. The large space itself is fantastic, fully equipped with everything you need plus clean, modern finishes and easy parking. The place is headed up by regional games athlete, Coach Morgan. She inspires and pushes you to your limit with the added bonus of a bubbly personality. Coach Chris is extremely knowledgable, obviously passionate about his business, and offers a fresh approach. I have really enjoyed my workouts so far and am looking forward to building a great community. read more

I'm just finishing up my first month at Crossfit Logan and I can say with 100% confidence that I would recommend this gym to everyone (young, old, beginner, or advanced) looking to get a crossfit workout in. The space and the layout are perfect. There is plenty of free parking and the equipment is brand new and top notch. Morgan is a phenomenal coach, knowledgeable about everything crossfit. She is a great motivator who will push you to your limits but never beyond. With Morgan, you know you are going to get an awesome workout but also that it's going to be done right (with correct form and intensity). Everyone I've met at Crossfit Logan is super nice and excited to be a part of this new gym. read more

This is a great gym, it's a brand new facility, very clean and a lot of nice equipments. I have been doing Crossfit for more than 2.5 years and was going to another Crossfit gym during that time. I just changed for Crossfit Logan recently and this was one of my best decision. Coach Morgan and Coach Chris are very knowledgeable. Athletes from beginner to advanced will be challenged no matter their level. Both coaches are very good at showing new movements and putting the athletes through a transition in order to learn proper form and be able to do the movement in a way that challenges each athlete to their level. Most of the classes are made of a dynamic warm-up linked to the WOD followed by a mobility and skills period. After those 3 steps. Coaches will explain the work-out and make sure everyone can make the exercise correctly or can have a variant adapted to their skills level. I was able to improve dramatically my Olympic lifting movements and some of the gymnastic movements just by going to the regular classes. I am definitely going to Crossfit there for a long time and I recommend this box to anyone who wants to be with coaches that care about their athletes and their success in the Crossfit realm. Long live Crossfit Logan! read more

Love this location, great coaches and community. I've been working out here for the last 6 months and have seen a big change in my body.

Great space, great coaches. Tom is thoughtful and attentive but also serious and focused; as are all the coaches. It's a great place with good people! I had not ever done Crossfit before and my fiancée got me 10 workouts for Xmas 2017. Tom did a one-on-one session with me as part of the package to go over the techniques and movements that would be utilized in the workouts. The coaches made me feel very welcome when I showed up for my first WOD and have done the same for every one after. When the 10 workouts were complete, I had to join. I love the pace and the thoughtful programming the staff put into the workouts. It's awesome. read more

I've been a member here since the gym opened, and I cannot say enough good things about the new owners. Over the last few months, some changes have been made -- more open gym hours, HIIT classes added, and coaches who are invested in our community. If you're hesitant to try/commit to crossfit, no problem. Take one of the HIIT classes (high intensity interval training). They'll leave you on the floor...at times (okay, a lot) more so than the crossfit classes. The facility is the cleanest I've seen, the community is solid, and the coaching and programming have definitely improved by leaps and bounds compared to this time last year. If you're thinking with your wallet, compared to other crossfit gyms in Chicago, CFL's contract rates provide the best value in the city (ok, I may be a bit biased but there is truth to that). read more

As an old...(aging...old...aging with old injuries...) college athlete and now medical professional who focuses on treatment using movement, function and mobility strategies for folks with serious debilitating acute and chronic conditions (Doctor of Physical Therapy), I've gotta say that this is hands-down the BEST CrossFit/Wellness/Fitness gym I have experienced based on the high bar that owners Tom and Teresa have set for the ultimate success of the athletes they serve. The coaches realllly know their stuff, and I learn from them Every. Single. Session. About form, about function, about efficiency. To be clear- I do all the classes: WODs, METcon (ugh!), CircuitFit(ugh!). If you are new to fitness, weight lifting, or have never experienced fun and community while getting fit, look no further. You will grind, you will be sore, you will be more than proud of your results, no matter the rung from which you are stepping. You will be addicted to your hard-earned success. You will most definitely not need to worry about injury or failure or non-compliance ever ...not with this supercrew! If you're even entertaining the thought of exploring CrossFit, you need to pull up your spandex (or old basketball shorts like I sometimes do) and walk through the door, be yourself, and witness the magic. Whoever you are and from wherever you're coming, you'll find a place here at Atlas Performance/CrossFit Logan. read more

I was looking forward to learning more about this crossfit, given the location and some of the positive reviews. Unfortunately, my experience didnt go so well (the following attempts took place over the course of three weeks or so)... - I tried several times, via their website, to enter my info to have someone reach out to me; there was no follow-up - I called several times to talk to someone to learn more about their facility, no answer. Left a VM, no one returned my calls - After a few days, I decided to go back to the website to try again. The site allowed me to sign up for, what I thought was, an intro class but when I arrived at the facility I was informed that what I signed up for was not an intro class...even though on the website it says it is. At that point the guy told me he would get back to me that day with more info on how to sign up for the intro class....no word back from him. - So three days later I decided to try once more. I called the gym and a different guy answered. He told me he would give my name to the manager who would call me to set up a time/day to do the intro class...no return call. I own my own business in bucktown, I realize that things get busy and it may be difficult to get back to people right away, but this was ridiculous and really there's no excuse. I decided to take my $200/month and spend it at another gym that has MUCH better client service, as well as a kick ass workout (Shred415 over on Clybourn) read more

I started crossfit december of 2012 and i have never felt better. My first day at Crossfit Logan i knew this was my new box and i paid in full for 1 year. My life philosophy is form, function and beauty will follow and CrossFit Logan fits that philosophy. Coach MORGAN and Coach CHRIS are very knowledgeable, great motivators and push you to new heights everyday. My endurance level is incredible . If your looking for a new Clean well designed Box CROSSFIT LOGAN IS THE PLACE for You. Don't be one of those to miss out... read more

A long time runner and weight lifter, I needed a change to my workout and was thrilled that I tried CF Logan. As a beginner to CrossFit, and someone who is nursing a hamstring injury, I was excited and yet petrified. Coach Morgan designed a workout that was perfect for me, while challenging me all along. I am very very sore in all the right places....I loved that she was so knowledgeable about form. I'll return! read more

The coaches at Crossfit Logan are the best around!! They are encouraging, knowledgeable, and professional. Even though I keep moving farther and farther away, I stay loyal to this gym because i truly enjoy the programming, coaches, and culture. read more

I went as a "Guest" with someone who is a member here. My first impression of the place was that it is sparse, dark and large. It appeared almost empty looking, but we had a very, very strenuous cross-fit work out. The monthly membership is very steep, so for me, it is not within my budget. The class was fun, but very fast-paced and some times a bit crazy. At times I felt like the Instructor was trying to cram in a lot of stuff within a specific time limit. At times, I felt like a little hamster on a wheel, going round and round and round and not really getting anywhere. At times I was falling behind the other students, however, I didn't care because I wasn't there to compete with these other people. I am an avid runner and I work out five to six times per week, but still doing cross-fit is an entirely different animal. It is definitely not for me. I was glad that I gave it a try, but I'll stick to my fitness center, running marathons and doing yoga classes, from time to time. Also, they do not have a parking lot, so be careful not to park in the CVS parking lot as they have signs clearly stating that parking is for customers only and all others "will be towed." Of course, I parked on the street and the area is "pay to park" (I was lucky enough to find a legal parking spot in the area). The instructors are excellent, and they definitely know what they are doing. The Instructor was like a drill sergeant. I could almost hear him screaming, ""My name is Gunnery Sergeant Highway and I've drunk more beer and pissed more blood, banged more quiff and busted more ass, than all you numb nuts put together." (from Heartbreak Ridge) In the end, I walked out of there super sore, but it actually felt really, really good. I rated this business with four stars, because they do not have a parking lot and the place was a bit dark, dingy and sparse. Cross-fit is not for everyone, but if you are looking to get into this type of work-out, go for it. read more

Sadly, the quality of the coaching has gone down big time here. The programming also leaves a lot to be desired. Unfortunately there aren't a lot of Crossfit options in the area, but given the lack of focus here, perhaps someone will open a better box close by. Crossfit is just too expensive to be at an average box. read more

Got roped in by a friend to join CFL. I had never done any CrossFit before, and I had always been pretty suspicious. My workout routine was basically restricted to the treadmill and a few weight machines at the local gym that had the lowest monthly rate. After a year, I am happy I joined CFL and disappointed I'm leaving due to a cross-country move. Coach James and Coach Chris were tremendous over this past year to monitor movements and build the skills and knowledge necessary to make substantial progress and avoid injury. I would recommend this box highly. They have high end equipment, which has only gotten better since they bought the building next door and knocked the wall down to double the space to offer open gym hours on top of the regularly scheduled classes. Good coaches and good people. read more

This is, by far, my happy place in Chicago! The facilities are awesome, the fitness program we follow is excellent, and the vibe as you walk in - almost makes you forget the pain that's about to happen! Great coaches, great equipment, and support - everything you need to keep you motivated at CrossFit! read more

NOT FOR BEGINNERS. I was told the "on ramp" (beginner's) program would be "beginner friendly." It certainly was not. Our coach condescended and embarrassed us when we couldn't remember names of specific moves. The workouts themselves were great, but the coaching style was rude and ineffective. I would not recommend CrossFit Logan to anyone looking for a friendly place to begin their CrossFit experience. read more

Oh boy where do I start? First thing I would say is that the coaching (trainers) here are a class act. Morgan, James, Andrew and Chris are all more interested in helping you to become a better athlete than they are in letting you know how great of one they are. Which is an experience I've had before. Skill learning, proper form and technique are always enforced. Doing it correctly is the M.O. at Logan. I came in with a lot of baggage from years of improper form and the coaches have been nothing short of patient and very giving with their knowledge. These guys have experience and to me that is the greatest tool for teaching. With crossfit one thought comes to mind: "contempt prior to investigation". If your looking to get in the greatest shape of your life, mentally and physically don't wait any longer. And for those who say crossfit is expensive I challenge you to honestly look at what you wastefully spend money on then ask yourself...is my life worth this? Do yourself the greatest favor ever and drink the crossfit kool-aid. Your worth it. read more
