**UPDATE ALERT** Since joining almost a couple years ago now I have lost a new total of ...... (drumroll please) ..... 32 POUNDS! Yes, you read it right, Yelp did not glitch. Goodbye 32 pounds and hello abs & buns (which is a super cool CrossFit band name)! I have made the most amazing friends here & having a CrossFit buddy makes everything better. Saturday workouts are buddy workouts (which by the way is only the most fun day of the week ever!). The owners, Kyle & Andrew, and trainers, Emily, Steve, Matt, & Joey are dedicated & I have learned so much from them like how to look cool doing a burpee and that going hard in the first 2 mins. of a 20 mins. AMRAP is maybe not a good idea. If you're on the fence about CrossFit come check it out for yourself, you may be surprised how much fun it is! It's always a good time and you're strengthening your body AND you'll look good doing it! read more

See all

Amazing staff- you can tell they really care about every individual that comes in. PJ was super nice in my first visit, I can't recommend this place enough! read more

I have been dropping in to LP CrossFit for 18 months now. There is a great balance here. You will learn, sweat, share some laughs, and if you stick around, certainly become a healthier person. The ownership and coaches understand what it takes to operate a successful gym, business, and community. My fitness goals are always focused around longevity and moving the right way. This place honors those tenets and allows me to be myself. Highly recommend. read more

I. Love. This. Gym. Never in my life did I think I would be that person who tells all their friends "yeah I do CrossFit." After signing up for the 6-Week Challenge that started on the day of my 22nd birthday, I swore that this was gonna be the "hottest" year of my life. Even though I said that as a slight joke, I lost more body fat in 6 weeks than I have in my entire life and an even bigger plus is the fact I'm stronger and more confident than ever. NUTRITION PLAN: Ever since I was 16, I never felt healthy in my eating habits because I really didn't know what my body needed. With the flexible nutrition plan provided by the 6-Week Challenge, I was able to learn correct portion sizes while still being able to eat amazing food! Whenever I thought of diets before signing up for this challenge, I thought they would be boring and make me sad and cause me to instantly give up. This nutrition plan gave me a great energy boost throughout the day and I still find myself following it on occasion even after the challenge has finished. WORKOUT: With the challenge, you are required to workout 3 days a week either at 6am or 7pm. This challenge required me to change my sleeping habits as well since I was only able to attend most of the 6am classes. Even with attending school part time along with having a part time job, the challenge was still very doable with a busy schedule. At times when I thought "I can't do this why am I up at 5:30am" I knew that once I attended class I would feel so much better throughout the day! The classes themselves were very introductory and exactly what I needed. Every move that was shown to us was able to be scaled down if needed which took a lot of pressure off at the beginning. As I got stronger, I was able to perform the moves without scaling and it felt so incredibly rewarding. COMMUNITY: All the coaches throughout the challenge (and even the coaches that didn't teach the 6-Week Challenge classes) were so amazing! Everyone was so motivating, supportive, and genuinely cared about how you were feeling throughout the challenge. Leah, Marques, and Justin we're just some of the many fantastic coaches at LPCF that I want to make a shout out to because wow their guidance really made the whole experience great. Along with the coaches, the community factor comes from the other challengers who are going through the exact same thing as you. Waking up early, eating lots of spinach, feeling sore from all the squats from the last workout were all just things to bond over and it was another thing that took the pressure off at the beginning. I finished my 6-Week Challenge at end of September 2018 and I still attend classes weekly at LPCF. It's such a great group of people who won't be annoyed if you talk about your workout or CrossFit in general. I recommend the 6-Week Challenge to everyone because yes there are tough moments when you just want to curl up in a ball with a bag of Cheetos instead of doing burpees but if you put effort into this you WILL see results. You'll feel healthier and stronger and be able to confidently say "yeah I do CrossFit." read more

LPCF is a great gym. Managed very well and has good members. The culture here is REALLY supportive to all fitness levels. I joined through the 6-week challenge and I lost 27 pounds and 4.5% body fat in SIX WEEKS! It seemed like a daunting task during my first consultation meeting, but I absorbed Justin's encouraging words and stuck with the plan. The pounds literally fell off me in jus the first week. I would recommend LPCF for anyone and all fitness levels. It's a very diverse gym with great leadership and active members. JOIN TODAY IF YOU WANT TO TRANSFORM YOUR BODY!!! read more

Best CrossFit place in all of Chicago!!! Amazing coaching from the best!!! They focus on each individual and make sure that your technique and form are correct to prevent injuries and make sure you succeed on your exercise goals! If you are skeptical about CrossFit, contact them and try a class. You will not be disappointed! read more

I have joined LPCF at the beginning of January to take part and complete their 6 weeks challenge. I had expectations about the results, but the actual results at the end of those 6 weeks were unexpected (in a totally good way) for me. I lost all of my belly fat (from 139lbs to 133lbs) and replaced it with some muscles. Everything about the challenge worked: accountability, nutrition, exercise. The team did a great job at motivating members, checking in midway and actually caring. I greatly recommend the 6 weeks challenge for anyone who wants fast results and who wants to get disciplined in terms of working out and eating well. read more

In Chicago for a couple days, dropped in on an am WOD. Timely, good instruction, great attendance and the space is bigger than expected. Super comfortable environment , I would recommend to all that want a good drop in. Need more SWAG!! read more

This gym is pretty awesome! It definitely has the best Crossfit coaching I've had in this city. I originally started at another gym in the city, but left when the quality of the classes/instruction went down and the prices didn't. I visited several gyms before settling on LPCF. it was the best choice for me because of the overall value ( I took into consideration location, connection to another gym where I could take other classes, coaching, prices, and cleanliness). There are a few technical things that I couldn't do at all before coming (regular snatches and double unders) and after a few weeks I could snatch 80lbs and I had double unders. One of the coaches also explained to me (on day one) why I was struggling so bad/had made so little progress with pull ups and push ups: I literally was doing things wrong and in almost two years, no one had told me. #frustrating and #disturbing. I feel very grateful for the quality of instruction here; In general, it feels like a really great environment to grow in. I am taking off 1 star for three reasons: 1. Class Size: The 6pm class is frequently way too big (20 people is simply too much for the amount of space that's available...especially when the beginners class and/or other activities are also happening in the space. If you don't like working with a partner or would be annoyed by getting out of class late because the class had to run in multiple heats because of the number of people, then 6pm is not the class for you. If you want to avoid that drama, I recommend the 7am class, which tends to have less than 10 people. 2. Lack of Equipment: For a while, there were not enough jump ropes for everyone, so if double unders got programmed as a warm up, you'd have to take turns. I ended up buying my own (per a recommendation from a coach), but I was really annoyed by this because LPCF costs almost $200/month. This has since been corrected, but not having enough equipment at that price =not cool. Also, if you got used to using the 35lb 'girl crossfit bar' at another gym, you'll have to get over that and go with the olympic 45lb bar or some other variation because there are only two 35lb bars and they tend to get snatched up (pardon the pun) quickly. 3. Workouts: In general, the WODs here are uninspired. At other crossfit gyms, when looking at WODs I typically felt a combination of fear, nervousness, and glee..sometimes with a touch of nausea. The workouts at LPCF make me feel absolutely nothing. I think there's a psychological benefit to looking at a workout and thinking "there's no way in hell I could do that" and then doing it...and I definitely miss feeling that sense of dread/accomplishment. read more

When choosing a Crossfit gym, there are a lot of variables that effect your decision. Today, there are CrossFit gyms popping up everywhere and there are a lot more choices amidst a broad variance in experience, equipment, regimen, and price. LPCF excels in all these categories, which is why I knew this was the right choice for me. I was/still am a novice crossfitter when I moved to the city in September 2011. I wanted to continue my crossfitting while on a budget; something that is not always easy to do in the hustle and bustle of a big city like Chicago. I did thorough research to find the best gym to cater to my needs - which to be honest was centralized around pricing. Of course, I tried Windy City Crossfit and Crossfit Chicago. Both great gyms, but I wasn't about to spend $230-$260/month. I searched other smaller gyms throughout Chicago like Cheetah Crossfit (right across the street from my apt in Wicker Park), but the space was not big enough and it wasn't quite what I was looking for. I emailed Justin for a trial of LPCF and was so impressed I signed up on the spot. At $165/month with access to the rest of the gym (including group classes like yoga), this price was hard to beat. It's not quite the $55/mo you can pay at Xsport, but this is not your typical workout and well worth the splurge. Crossfit can be intimidating because it has its own community so it's difficult to be a newcomer sometimes, as the previous poster said. However, I think at LPCF everyone was very welcoming. If not immediately, then I would certainly take the initiative and meet the rest of the crossfitters. We are all friendly and won't bite, except for maybe Dan. He's scary. We are all there to challenge each other and maximize our potential, so I would not be afraid to ask questions. I do all the time. In my old gym, it was a requirement to introduce yourself to new members and to cheer on remaining participants that are still working on the WOD. This definitely helped form camaraderie, maybe something I will suggest. It should not be embarrassing to finish last, but should be used as a goal to get better. I finish last all the time and use it as motivation. Justin is a good guy. You can tell he's not just a businessman, but truly cares to expand peoples knowledge of Crossfit and to excel and maximize their potential. Him and the other coaches are always pushing us to do our best on a daily basis. It's fun when you actually look forward to doing the workouts instead of seeing it as a chore. He has a passion for the sport and as a result, LPCF is the direct benefactor. LPCF is growing exponentially with Crossfit's growing popularity. The space for LPCF has doubled since I've been here and the equipment continues to get better. There are constant improvements and I'm happy to see Justin isn't just content. I expect great things in the future and am happy to be apart of it. I recommend people interested in working out in a group setting to try out LPCF. Does not matter if you are a novice or a pro, LPCF is unmatched in Chicago. read more

Great Crossfit gym. Justin, John, and Scott really take the time to make sure you are using the correct form and getting everything you can out of your workout. I've been here since June 2012 and can't imagine working out any other way than this. Also, everyone that works out here is extremely friendly and welcoming. Can't recommend this LP Crossfit enough. read more

Great coaches and a great community. I am the fittest that I have ever been in my life since joining in 2012. I looked better as a young lad, but my physical conditioning has never been better. Justin, John, the Sarah's, Scott and Steve are just a great bunch of coaches. The members quickly become your friends, and man, can they party. I'm moving back to Brooklyn in May 2014, but I will always proudly wear my LPCF t-shirt whenever I do a WOD. read more

I did the 6 week challenge, and I highly recommend everyone that's new to CrossFit try it out. There's great coaches/trainers, and they teach you how to do CrossFit lifts even if you have no experience. The gym isn't intimidating like some others are, especially for a newbie, and the instruction starts with very basic movements before you learn the harder/more complicated lifts. A great thing about a gym like this is the accountability that it provides, the coaches and the program keep you motivated and wanting to come to every session. Highly recommend this place. read more

I can't say this enough - I love CrossFit and I love LP CrossFit. I am a former gymnast and dancer, and was looking for some type of exercise that would keep me engaged enough to want to go to the gym. Treadmills and ellipticals just do not do it for me. After just 3 months of doing CrossFit, I feel better, I sleep better, I look better, and I love exercising again. The workouts are challenging and fun, and the atmosphere is great too. The people I workout with have become friends and teammates. You are not going to find a better group of people than at this CrossFit location. Justin, Brad, and Tommy are great coaches - always motivating and creative with the warm-ups and workouts. I feel challenged every single time I come in. The workouts are posted on the website the day before so you can see what you're getting yourself into. :-) The equipment is top-notch as well. I guarantee if you come in and do a workout or two, you will get hooked. read more

I've been training with Justin in one way or another for many years now, currently at LP Crossfit. The facilities are nice and in great location, but what you really get is great people. They are friendly here and will welcome you with a training plan no matter how out of shape you are. Do not be intimidated, Justin knows his stuff. I've been able to work my way through few major injuries with carefully tailored plan. Are you young and in perfect shape and need to dial it up a notch? Don't worry they can do that also. My advice is to try it out and see if its for you, but keep in mind that Justin was into this CrossFit thing with original locations many many years before these other locations existed. He is the master! read more

I can't recommend LP CrossFit enough. I'm currently training for a hiking trip in Africa and needed a workout program that really whipped me into shape fast. I'm not a big runner and with other workouts I would get bored or not motivated enough to go to just the gym. With CrossFit I feel like I have a personal trainer since the classes are small and there are always at least 2 trainers. They are very focused on technique and helping you make sure you are being efficient and getting the most out of your workout. Justin, Brad, and Tommy are all super motivating and fun to be around. I've been doing CrossFit for 2 months now and am convinced it will be the way I work out from now on. I already feel stronger overall and the workouts can be really fun and competitive with your friends. Also, with 3 classes offered in the mornings and evenings it's easy to fit into a busy schedule. I think I've already told almost all of my friends about LPCF, so for everyone else out there that is curiuos I definitely recommend checking it out! read more

I worked out this summer with the 6 week challenge. Having always been a little intimidated by CrossFit, I thought this would be a good way to check it out with other new comers. The challenge classes are taught separately from the main CrossFit with 1-2 coaches per class. This is really a plus as they are focused on proper form and assisting with modifications for individuals as needed. They did everything they could to help you succeed. The workouts themselves were hard, but doable and to be honest, no one said CrossFit was easy. I signed up to have someone push me and that's what they did. My energy levels have increased and my weight has decreased. It's a great way to kick start a workout routine and healthier lifestyle. read more

I needed to drop in to do 18.1 as I was driving through Chicago. I have never been to this city so it was kind of intimidating. I wrote them while on the road at 3am. Lincoln Park CrossFit welcomed me with open arms and was ready for me when I got there. After being in the car for 16 hours, and being welcomed as if I was part of the family, I couldn't leave any happier! Members even cheered me on! I am very thankful for this box today. read more

I've been interested in Crossfit for about a year now & when Lincoln Park Crossfit had a 1 month membership in a Y ouSwoop deal, I couldn't say no. I've been involved in fitness for over 10 years...as competitive boxer for several years & a current fitness enthousiast. Crossfit, by far has been one of the most rewarding fitness endeavors I have gotten into. Justin & his team (brad / tommy) are great instructors. They are well versed in their expertise & are great at breaking things down all to make you better & in better shape. They're great at motivating the class without being pushy. In my past month at LP Crossfit.. I have, lost weight, gotten stronger & am able to work harder & faster than I did before. I can only see more good things coming in the future. I would recommend LP Crossfit to anyone looking to take their workout to the next level & make their body & fitness the best it can be. read more

When I first started CrossFit at LP CrossFit, I don't think I've ever hugged (and LOVED) my floor ... or any floor, as much as I did that first month. The program and the coaches constantly challenge you and push you to test your limits. Justin, Brad, and the other coaches are great. The intensity of cardio with the combination of strength training is an efficient and effective way to burning calories and losing inches. Regardless of the fitness level, I don't think I've seen anybody leave a session without a drenched shirt. You definitely leave the gym, with a sense of accomplishment. If you're looking for a place that will constantly challenge you to the next level and you're interested in meeting a great group of people with similar goals, this would the place to be. Personally, it was a win-win for me. Bottom line is, when we talk about gym loyalty, I absolutely loved the gym that I was with for the last 3 years. But when I started working with these guys and bonding with the same group, week after week... it's hard to go back to anything else. read more

I liked LP CrossFit well enough because I got a good workout and it was different every time. With that said, I do have a couple of gripes with it. First, when I signed up they said they had a limit on the number of people allowed in a class. I quickly found that doesn't hold true and there were quite a few times where I felt like we were packed like sardines in our small area. Second, I like Justin (the CrossFit trainer) but he could do a bit to improve his teaching methods and to make newcomers feel welcome. He doesn't explain exercises very well and isn't always clear in his instructions, which is problematic for someone that has never done real weight training. During one class, my friend didn't understand what we were supposed to be doing and used less weight than he could have, so he ended up feeling like he didn't get a good workout. Also, at the last class I attended, I knew I was doing the exercise incorrectly and it was up to me to pump him for more information about the right form. And as far as the newcomers go, it was obvious from the start that we were walking into a happy family of CrossFit veterans. They were all really chummy and some of them made an effort to say hi and include us (thanks E!), but mostly we just felt out of place. This ties to the exercises too because they all knew what they were doing so even though Justin didn't explain it well, they would just get started, while the rest of us struggled to get his attention and figure out what was going on. And finally, I often left the class feeling discouraged because of the way the classes are run. I consider myself athletic and pretty capable, but I was out of shape--that's why I did the class. I appreciate the competition they create between the participants but sometimes they would move so fast, I felt like it was impossible to keep up. And trust me, it's embarrasing being the last one done. But I started to notice that many of the other people in the class were shortchanging the exercises just to keep up--even the experienced veterans. That doesn't seem like a good pace to me if people are faking it to make it. Overall, it was a good class, but I won't be buying a membership. read more

I was a drop-in for a Saturday 8am class. The location was super easy to find. And, the outdoor space actually worked well for the 400m runs. The coaching was a little different from my home box (I wish there was more warm up and skill work before heading into the WOD). Everyone was welcoming. Good work LPCF. read more

This is a great CrossFit. They have a free parking lot, and Justin & Brad are terrific coaches. I strongly recommend checking-out Lincoln Park CrossFit. read more

I was in town this weekend for a conference, but need to get 15.5 done so I randomly picked a box that closed the latest. Not being from the area the box was a little further then anticipated and I didn't think I was going to make it. Upon arrival I was rushing to get in there. As I enter the gym I was welcomed with a warm environment and I asked if I was still able to participate Sarah was awesome she helped me set up. I jumped in the last heat. The people there are amazing it was like I was at own box they pushed me until I was finished. Great community and I love to see everyone cheering on the last person the finish. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely go back. Plus with your drop in fee you get an awesome t-shirt. Thanks again everyone for the warm welcome and continue to work hard!! read more

Lincoln Park CrossFit is the real thing! If you want a hard, challenging workout that pushes you farther than you thought you could go, this is the place to come to! I played sports in college and I have had trouble finding workouts that challenge me like I was in college. I found this challenge at Lincoln Park CrossFit. The workouts are different everyday and always hard! I love how there is always a goal in mind whether it is a number of rounds you're trying to get or competing against the clock. Justin and Brian do a great job of making sure everyone is working out to their full potential and getting the most out of the workouts no matter your starting fitness level. If you want a hard, real workout with real results then go Lincoln Park CrossFIt! read more

I was looking for something new and I've found it. I was an athlete in college and continued to work out since (a number of years now) and thought I was still in pretty good shape. However, while helping a younger friend move it became obvious that though I was the strongest I was the least fit. After a few old man jokes I had to do something about it. I found the perfect solution with LP Crossfit. The mixture of weight lifting and cardio is exactly what I was looking for and the atmosphere makes waking up that hour early much more doable. It reminds me a lot of our pre season work in college with the mixture of weights, body lifts and cardio elements. All the kind of stuff that I find almost impossible to do effectively by myself at a gym. I did find some of the lifts and movements hard to get used to, mostly due to my own inflexibility, but the coaches where always around to give pointers and help with technique. Also, as someone else said on here it can get a little crowded from time to time but it is rare and the coaches have always found a way of fitting everyone in. I've never found it to be a real problem and they recently changed their class schedule which really helped. All in all LP Crossfit has given me the best workouts I've had in a long time and I'll keep coming back. read more

I cannot say enough about Justin and the team. This is the best crossfit gym I have found in Chicago. I really enjoy the group workouts and enjoy the positive energy in the cross fit sessions. I never thought I would enjoy group fitness but they made me feel welcome and really changed my opinion of this new work out trend. I never had the motivation to work out consistently until I got into crosffit . Thanks again and I cant wait to check out the new location opening in edgewater. read more

I went to LP Crossfit never have done crossfit before. I attended a saturday intro session and liked the workouts. Great place to learn the crossfit moves. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended. read more

I have been going to LPCF for almost a year now, and this place has changed my life. I'm stronger than ever and fitter than I've been since High School. John, Scott & Justin have taken the time to get to know me and what works best for my body in order for me to maximize my workouts. The environment is very welcoming and friendly. They take great pride is building a community and they've done just that. Everyone I talk to about CrossFit, I recommend Lincoln Park CrossFit, I can't imagine working out anywhere else. read more

I just started Cross Fit 6 months ago and love it. This was my first commitment to working out again after not doing anything at all for about 4 years. Before I stopped working out I was big into weight training with a small focus on cardio. I will definitely be a cross fitter for life. Cross fit is a strength and conditioning program and best of all it is scalable to fit everyone. I am almost 5 months pregnant and Justin and his team; Brad and Tommy are great. They keep the classes smaller so they can give you personal attention and make sure your form is correct when strength training and warming up. Justin is certified in pre & post natal. They really make me feel comfortable and that they actually care about my health and safety, not to mention they are great guys. Price is very reasonable for the personal attention/training you are getting. Another huge plus for me are the times of the classes. Obvious there are morning, evening and weekend classes but there are also classes during the weekday for those of us with more flexible schedules it makes it much easier to squeeze in a work out. Visit the website for videos, details of daily workouts and there's also a profile on Justin and his experience. http://lincolnparkcrossfit.com/ read more

I started doing crossfit for the first time ever at Lincoln Park CrossFit about 3 months ago. My experience so far has completely exceeded all my expectations! There are many reasons why I would highly recommend LPCF for both beginner and seasoned crossfitters, but the biggest one is because of the great people and coaches. Everyone at LPCF is really nice, friendly, encouraging, and motivating. Everyone works as a team and I have never felt uncomfortable needing to scale a movement or exercise. Justin, John, and Scott are great coaches and I can't believe how much I have learned in such a short time from them. Before this, my lifting experience was minimal at best. Starting with the foundations class was a great way to learn the basics and practice the movements. During each class now Justin or John always take the time to coach on technique and help you achieve good form. I appreciate their guidance and expertise- I don't know if this is something that all crossfit coaches do but I am really glad I have them! As a long distance runner, I have gotten stronger and leaner since joining LPCF which has helped my running. I always look forward to going to class at LPCF, and really like the variety of the WODs - they are fun but always challenging. Finally, the coaches do a great job communicating daily and building an accessible community through their Facebook and website pages. This is an extra perk I didn't expect but have come to rely on and enjoy. If you are considering starting crossfit, or are looking to get to the next level in your fitness, I would definitely check out LPCF. read more

I have always enjoyed and appreciated the community and the coaches at Lincoln Park Crossfit but it has taken a visit to other crossfit locations for it to really sink in that we have an amazing thing going at LPCF. I've been to boxes in Miami and Tampa and most recently in Rome and although they were very welcome and knowledgable I found myself comparing everything to how we do it at LPCF. The programming, the constant reinforcement of technique, the encouragement and the continuous improvements to our box all contribute to why we are the best box in Chicago. Our two main coaches, Scott and Sarah are the best! They push us to push ourselves when they know we can but also urge us to hold back if we aren't ready to go to the next level yet. I never thought I would stick with crossfit as long as I have but now my LPCF peers are like family. read more

I love this gym. I go everyday. The community is of the highest possible caliber. Most of my good friends were met working out in the trenches. I love this gym. read more

I have been doing Cross Fit in Lincoln Park for a couple months and love it. This program actually gets you in shape. Every day the workout is different and that is what keeps it exciting. The trainers are great and personable. There are 2-3 trainers at every class, so they pay a lot of attention to your form and are there to help you if you need it. I also like it because it welcomes all levels of fitness, the program works for anybody and can be customized to your level. There are a lot of class times to choose from, so the class sizes are not too full. Working out with a class/group promotes healthy competition and a social aspect as well. I highly recommend it! read more

I've been to 2 other CrossFit gyms in the city and just they do not compare to the coaches, workouts and atmosphere at LP CrossFit! Justin, Tommy and Brad are great at what they do. They are personable, helpful and energetic. The small class size allows them to spend one on one time with each person. While the workouts are challenging, it is for all fitness levels as they will work with you to make adjustments in the workout as needed. Once you give this workout and these trainers a try there is no need to go anywhere else! Whatever your fitness goal is, Justin and his team will get you there. read more

My brother-in-law talked me and my wife into CrossFit. We spent some time looking at different CrossFit groups in Chicago and settled here (Also, we got a youswoop deal for LPCF and that sealed the deal). The amazing thing about CrossFit is that it isn't a workout tape or a exercise fad, it is a lifestyle change that you can take with you in life. Every workout is different and unique and will challenge you in different ways. They combine strength lifting with cardio based exercises. I have done some heavy lifting before, but I really appreciate the refinement that is being given to me. I am doing familiar workouts more efficiently and learning new lifts and movements at every class. Everyone is directed through the movements (power lifts, olympic lifts, skill movements) and the nice thing about being new is that I received personal attention when I needed it. I really appreciate the instructors here as well, Justin is the leader and he will be there to help you if you need it. He isn't a Drill Sargent and he will listen to you and help you when you aren't sure what to do. JQ and Brad are also great guys who will help you with your movements and encourage you along the way. I really would (and have!) advise anyone I meet to try out CrossFit and give it a month or three. It will challenge and push you, you will be sore like never before but it will be rewarding like you can't imagine. You will sleep better, have more energy, make every day movements easier and will put you in a great place for the rest of your life. I can't believe how different I feel now (2 months in) and I crave workouts and feel off if I don't have them. I'm going to three classes a week and going to the gym 2 other times a week doing the CrossFit workouts. Come join us sometime and see what we're all about. read more

LOVE LPCF. The coaching and programming is top notch and the community is one of the reasons I've been coming back for over 3 years. It's a great value (some CrossFit gyms are charging high $200's/month - which is crazytalk)... and at LPCF your membership also gets you gym access (read: free spinning, yoga, etc). The coaching staff is super encouraging and definitely very focused on technique. I never thought I'd still be here but 3 years later, I can't IMAGINE going back to treadmill running (cough... Xsport) or paying tons for personal training. If you are looking for a tough workout and an amazing workout community, this is the spot for sure. read more

I could not give enough praise to LincolnPark CrossFit and Justin in particular! I was looking for a personal trainer to get me back in shape and the results are proof enough that his system works! I was a beginner when it came to weight training and Crossfit in general but in 4 short months I have lost 20 lbs, have bulked up my chest and arms while getting rid of my love handles. I never thought I would be at my college weight again and I had to buy all new jeans since I went down 3 sizes!! Not only has he helped me become more fit, but he took time to help me learn about proper nutrition, stretching techniques and came up with a workout schedule that I can do on my own. My energy level is incredible and my stamina has improved so I can run and play basketball again without wanted to keel over. He is very patient but knows how to motivate so that you get the most out of every workout. And no workout is ever the same, so he knows how to constantly challenge you and keep things interesting.
