CFI has challenged me both mentally and physically and has made me realize that I can push myself a lot further then I was doing alone at the gym. Carlos has been an amazing coach, and has helped me focus on my form, helping me increase both strength and flexibility. He has done everything from creating personalized weekly workouts to posting one of a kind videos that all help me achieve my personal goals/results. The CFI community has also been an extremely positive and unique experience. Everyone is welcoming, defying the stereotype cult crossfit scene. All members support each other constantly, and push one another to achieve personal fitness goals. I have been working out for many years and have never felt so challenged and comfortable in a gym atmosphere. I am so happy that I found my niche at this gym, and although I have realized that I am not in as good of shape as I thought I was, I look forward to every work out, for I know I will be challenged and supported. Thank you Carlos for creating this positive and supportive atmosphere, I am no longer stuck and will continue to push myself and support those around me.

It's been a game changer. Never the same workout. Always the same attitude. The power of positivity! It's a complete balanced work out that is very adjustable to your fitness level. Fun for everyone. I love it! Today was my first time at a location other than my home studio and I'm beyond impressed. The owners, Kerry & Jim, made it so easy for me to sign-up for a class. Their warm welcome and encouragement continued as they were there to sweat it out with the entire class. Crushers! The trainers also brought their A-game. The facility is beautiful. Large & clean with great music pumpin. I'm heading into the holiday weekend feeling great and I have F45 Buffalo Grove East to thank for it. I'll be back and will be sending my family there too! Thanks again Kerry & Jim!!

It was easy to set up visits; Kerry, the owner, was very sweet and was easy to communicate with. F45 Buffalo Grove East has an impeccable location and building for what they offer. From a space big enough for everyone to feel welcome, yet not overcrowded, to serving everyone's individual needs. F45 offers a phenomenal workout that not only keeps your body guessing, your HR up, but also a more personal training without the hefty price tag. Classes vary in size, but there are always 2 fitness instructors walking around and helping everyone to ensure proper form and weights. I could tell immediately that this location was a "family". Everyone was conversing and were beyond supportive having me in for a workout. I highly recommend anyone in the area to try them out with a trial - guaranteed to have a good time, get a good sweat in, and find some new friends!

I regret to inform my fellow members at ohare crossfit that i am no longer a member there. i would…read moreimagine, that as a business owner who values their members that they would do the same. Unfortunately this is not the case at O'hare crossfit. I spoke with a coworker of Angelo's on Friday March 13 about some sexually inappropriate comments that Angelo Sisco had made during the course of the class hoping to nip it in the bud. Unfortunately, on Monday March 15 Angelo continued to make some more comments that I alone disapproved of and made me feel uncomfortable, bordering on the line of sexual harassment. I thought about his comments for the next day and decided to text him letting him know that I disapproved of his comments that were sexual in nature while I was working out in the same class as my dad and if he'd refrain from making such comments while I was working out with my dad. He said he would get back to me the following afternoon but never did. I went in to class today and was informed that my membership had been cancelled without any explanation. I considered Angelo a close friend for many years and never discredited him from helping me get to where I'm at today. If, as a business owner, let alone a friend, you cannot communicate with your clients or your friends in an open manner and immediately ban them from your business without hearing or listening to their concerns then you should not be in business. I have seen this person's true colors and how he operates in situations where he is in the wrong. I went in today with the best intentions hoping to put this behind us, as it was not as drastic or nearly dramatic as to what he made it out to be however, I feel that in order to protect my good character and forewarn any other client that may be offended or have any valid concerns to please proceed with caution. I never attacked his character, for he has none. I am disheartened that someone would go to such extremes but I do understand and people that do not conduct themselves in a professional and honorable manner in front of clients own family and friends is one that should not be trusted. It is important to own up to your actions, especially in moments when you are wrong. No one is perfect. I have seen a side of this person and am shocked to learn that he is the complete opposite what he practices and preaches. I have learned a valuable lesson and that is to always watch what comes out of my mouth, treat people with the utmost respect that I value and care about and own your mistakes. I hope no one ever has to experience the disgusting nature of this person like I did. Furthermore, I don't expect anyone to quit either. I just want to put out there my experience after having been a member for so many years and the abhorrent treatment I received.

After a year away from strength training, I recently completed the Mom:30 course offered at Windy…read moreCity as a way to ease back in to working out since having my son. The course was geared towards postpartum moms, however it shared the same thoughtful approach to classes that I had taken at Windy City prior to becoming pregnant. A new mom herself, Coach Esther did an amazing job leading us through a curated series of classes designed to teach us (or remind us) of the basics of strength training. As someone who was intimidated by gyms, especially anything involving weights, I would recommend Windy City to anyone. When they say "we meet you where you are," they really mean that! The environment is friendly, positive, and also motivating. Often times classes include a range of skill levels, which is inspiring, and the general vibe of every class is one of encouragement. I'm excited to get back into the swing of working out at Windy City!

I saw Windy City's 6 week challenge and decided to give it a try. After completed the challenge and 2 years later I still continue to go 5 days a week, took away some good eating habits and have kept off the 16Ibs (and 10% body fat)that I lost. Windy City is not just a gym but the vibe, the coaches, and fellow members are so supportive and encouraging. They make time for their member outside gym hours to get together for some fun. I would highly recommend WCSC to anyone of every body type to join.
