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.

The staff at this gym are super friendly and they were kind to us when I registered my son. We come…read morehere daily and have never had an issue accessing equipment. For us, the lowest tier membership suited us and since that's what we're using the gym for, we've got few to little complaints. For the price, you get everything that the local "big gym" has, except the swimming pool. The locker rooms are large with private showers. There is a separate workout area for women only. They have trainers and classes, and even a smoothie bar. The movie theater is a nice unique feature, though I've never used it. Really the only complaint... my 11-year-old is not a fan of the kids care area. She tends to be more introverted and would love to just sit and do her own thing. Apparently it's hard to do that there. And with any gym, there's also the registration fees, maintenance fees, and annual membership if you want the lowest rate... but I think overall it is worth it for the basic tier.

Update: after being flown from McHenry county college to Rockford for life saving surgery and while…read morerecovering and suffering from massive traumatic brain injury they convinced me to sign my wife up for a full priced account when she got in for free with me and can't drive because of vision. Then when they found a Marine on the other end of the line decided to try to hassle my wife. I submitted a CFPB complaint against edge fitness. I then had to submit a payment complaint with my bank about edge fitness and block them from every charging me again. Then I had to submit a fraud complaint against their biller ABC fitness because they charged me old planet fitness bills when they started trying to harm a Marine veteran and his family.. big big mistake.

I have been taking Agnes classes for 2 years ( took a break while pregnant ) and started back up a month post partum. In the beginner class, you can take it easy as you need if you're starting out and gradually add more to challenging yourself. She changes up her flow and class every week, so you are consistently working different areas of the body. I took yoga classes at random and used to feel it a slow boring waste of time more or less a relaxing class that does "stretching". I love to lift and do intense endurance cardio. It wasn't until going here consistently that I was blown away with the fitness aspect of yoga- the strength/flexibility/core stability/etc. involved. You will be challenged more than you possibly think and I promise the health benefits, both mentally and physically, will surprise you! I highly recommend Melt and the classes here. Side note: The owner rocks.

I started pilates to improve my coordination and core strength for dance classes, but I now have a…read morelove of coming here just for pilates' sake. I had no idea what I was doing day 1 but my practice grows with each class. The instructors are kind, funny, energetic, and skilled at teaching and cueing the moves so everyone is doing them correctly and safely. Not only that but the community always brings the same energy and makes the studio a safe and fun place to work out. The classes have enough repetition to build strength and form but enough differences to keep you on your toes (sometimes literally). I haven't run into any of the issues that some of the negative reviews here have, so I can't speak to my experience trying to freeze my membership or anything like that. I also have not tried classical pilates to compare. But personally, I feel like I get my money's worth every time and even with my busy schedule it is never a challenge to book classes.

There are sanitizing wipes everywhere, and people actually use them. The indoor track is a huge bonus -- even Lifetime Fitness doesn't offer something like that -- and overall I'd compare this place to Lifetime in terms of variety and quality. I've been coming here for over 15 years, partly because I live close, but also because it's clean, reliable, and has a great selection of equipment. Don't let the bad reviews scare you off. At least in 2026, this place is absolutely a thumbs‑up.
