I came here with a free trial through a friend and while I've done Crossfit at a few other…read morelocations, I understand that each facility has it's own spin on the type of WOD. The place is in a discreet area of Gurnee that really isn't easy to find. When you walk in, it's just as you'd expect, a small waiting area with a business desk. The fun happens when you go through the waiting area and into the main gym. The area is simple for effective. There are tons of fun toys to get your sweat on and as basic as it gets. This is quite simply a gym with no unnecessary frills. The decor is obviously military themed and that gets 5 stars alone for me. The staff and it's members are extremely friendly and helpful. The class itself was a test to one's physical ability yet catered to each persons strengths. I can see people being reluctant to try Crossfit, but this place obviously cares and wants members as they treated the free class members like they were longtime regulars. I'm definitely considering switching to this type of gym when my membership expires at my current gym.

So happy to be here for a couple of months. First, they are very accommodating to your needs. Since I am a short-timer, my payments and sign-on is different than most. Not a problem at all. Jennifer is so nice and welcoming. I have actually had nothing but great experiences will all the trainers. I wish I had more time here! I have found all levels and abilities in the classes. Makes it better for people like me who are just getting into it or back at it. The box area itself is great. The layout is awesome and plenty of room. Love the music played and WODs have been kicking my arse (LOVE!). Great location too. Just minutes away from the YMCA and centrally located in Kenosha. Great for a drop-in or sign up and try it for four months! You get a week to try it out and see if you like it before you commit fully. I highly recommend you do this. Another tip, bring gloves and a belt. You never know when you will need them. There are also kids classes which look really cool. Check the website for more information or call.

This is a phenomenal CrossFit gym. At least in my opinion. I value fitness, a welcoming community,…read morelifelong learning, competent and professional coaching staff and management. Oh, and good equipment and facilities. CrossFit Kenosha has all of these in abundance. On top of that, the members are friendly and motivating, the music usually pretty good (as far as CrossFit music goes), schedules very accessible, and the rates are very reasonable. I also think the lighting is very good. Some gyms have those awful fluorescent lights which give me a headache. But this gym has something else, which -- no joke -- makes everyone look more attractive and yet does not contribute to my migraines. Too good to be true? Well, there are things they could work on. I can't think of more than one right now. Which is that they don't have a place to refill your water bottle, aside from a bathroom sink. But if that's the worst thing about this place... For some perspective, I've been doing Xrossfit since 2013 and have worked out all over the country.

This is no longer just a CrossFit gym but the new owners have done an incredible job incorporating so much more. Yoga, Pilates, boot camps to name a few! I've tried all of Kenosha's camps, bootcamps, crossfits... this by far is my absolute FAVORITE! This is my safe place. A place where I can get an INCREDIBLE workout, have fun and NEVER feel judged. I think the programs offered here at HPC are so very well structured and did I mention fun!?! They are not spilling out a bunch of direction like most bootcamps I know and expecting you to follow thru. They take you step bye step and stay with you thru the entire process encouraging you along the way. I feel as if I am a part of a team and as comfortable as when I'm with my own family. I can go on for days but my recommendation would be to give this place a try! It is motivating when someone has the confidence in you that you can do it when you might not think you can. It's worth every PENNY! They really are and AMAZING group that work hard with you to help you see the results you need.

Wisco fit is the first place to get me excited about working out and to actually have the motivation to stick with it. The staff is amazing, every coach is there for you and wants to see you succeed. The other members are also awesome and will motivate the hell out of you, especially when you're struggling. Never done CrossFit before? Doesn't matter! I didn't know the first thing about it but everyone is so helpful and welcoming. I can't say enough good things about this place and I really hope they can continue on after all this Covid stuff has passed. Try this place out, you will be so glad you did.

Starting with the…read moreOwner/Head Coach Blue Aldridge and continuing through his staff, they are all super knowledgeable in what they coach. There are a variety of programs going on in the gym, not just CrossFit. At any time you could find a CrossFit class happening, one on one personal training and kids watching their parents, "having fun!" Yes, one of the few facilities I know where kids are welcome. Why not set a good example for kids, showing them fitness is fun. If you're looking into starting CrossFit or looking for a change, I strongly encourage you to give this place a try!

Noticed a few…read moremonths ago she started working nights and from that point forward mood and overall ambience has gone down negatively. Poor attitude when greeting and saying goodbye to members. Soon as it turns 10pm all patience goes out the window and she is quick hounding people to get up and leave. She shows no consideration! My experiences with her have been short and I am quick to understand closing time. Today however, her behavior was cruel. Because it was pouring rain outside I was putting all my belongings in my bag so they don't get wet. She hovered over me until she could rush me plus other members who are waiting for rides out into the pouring rain. She stood at the OPEN door staring at me waiting for my ride to pull up to the front of the building. kid you not by the time I got into the car and open this yelp app it was 10:05 pm. I completely understand there is a closing time but this behavior towards members is simply unacceptable and cruel. I hope by writing this it can help the fit nation team provide better customer service to its members :)

They had a fall festival this past weekend with free guided walks so I figured it would be safe for us. Loved the guided walk and how informative it was.

Cars with completely tinted windows drive around in broad daylight.

My son (almost 2yo) had so, so, so much fun for about 3 hours! He came home absolutely exhausted- a mom's dream for a good nap! It was $4 admission per person, which I found totally cheap! They have plenty of picnic tables to eat, as well as areas to park strollers and lunch bags. There was also lots of seating available if you wanted to sit and watch your toddler play (especially helpful if you're pregnant and need a little break from standing!). The bathrooms were small, but clean. Honestly, all of the essentials were available and it truly made for a great morning!

They do have a nice shallow area for little kids which starts at zero depth. The slides are nice, but 2 are in the deep end, which sometimes closes. In addition, there are occasional safety breaks, which only last for 15 minutes, where it is adult swim only. As an adult, I like it, but of course the kids do not.

We chose this daycare because of its convenient location directly across from our workplace. During…read moreour tour, we were told they accept YWCA childcare assistance. We provided copies of our recent pay stubs as part of the process. Based on our income, we anticipated qualifying for assistance. However, we were informed that they do not accept back pay and that families must cover full tuition out-of-pocket until subsidy approval is finalized. In our case, the approval process took eight weeks. That would have required paying two months of tuition upfront while waiting for assistance. If a center works with YWCA-funded families regularly, it was unclear why no flexibility could be offered given the documented income information we provided. For many working families, paying full tuition for weeks -- or months -- while waiting on approval defeats the purpose of childcare assistance. Families relying on subsidy support should make sure they fully understand this policy before enrolling. To make a long story short if you can't afford the daycare tuition on your own, don't even apply.

Do not recommend. The teachers need more training and coaching on how to interact with children…read morewho may have more emotional learning challenges.
