This gym is great. Welcoming, fun, and very helpful. I can't currently afford the cost, but the price is worth the offerings. Great workouts, good equipment, helpful staff and thorough lessons. It doesn't matter your demographics, size or fitness level, they are welcoming to everyone, and as a fat person, I appreciate that there aren't mirrors in the workout area. It's about the workouts, not vanity or body-shaming. Senad, the owner, is very sweet, and has really built a nice gym. read more

I joined PXM a few months ago and it is hands down the best gym I've ever been to. Each class I learn something new about myself and my capabilities. It's mostly Crossfit-adjacent group classes, but they also offer olympic lifting, personal training, weekend community workouts (a Saturday morning class with Coach Chris is fantastic way to kickoff your weekend / cap off your week), and other small group sessions. I was admittedly worried about going to a Crossfit type gym, they come with a certain reputation, but I look forward to going to the gym frequently and consistently. The culture at the gym is really fantastic, my classmates (and coaches) are encouraging and helpful, and everyone wants to help you do your best given your abilities. It's impossible not to make friends at PXM. Additionally, I came to the gym with a lingering "knee" issue, but with a combination of physical therapy and a lot of individualized attention from the coaches, I'm feeling the best I've felt in years. Senad, one of the owners was extremely helpful at encouraging me to continue to move throughout my recovery. With a lot of support, I was able to continue moving throughout my recovery and I think this helped accelerate my overall recovery timeline. Coach Leah and Coach Matt we really helpful (and incredibly patient with the million questions I asked) in helping me find movements that were supportive and didn't cause pain while still working towards the goal of a specific class. All the coaches are really great at modifying workouts to ensure you are working towards the prescribed movements without risking injury. Most classes offer two tracks, each with modifications, that are designed for folks who either want to do more traditional Crossfit movements and another for folks who are seeking more traditional fitness movements or are working towards being able to do the Crossfit movements. The gym has a general wellness focus, so you can also sign up for nutrition counseling, meal prep kits, massage, etc. I recently signed up for nutrition coaching with Melissa, and I'm learning a lot everyday about what my body needs to fuel itself. If you are looking for a welcoming, inclusive, and fun place to workout, I can't recommend PXM enough. read more

Although the space is smaller than I'm accustomed to, the gym is very clean and is equipped with state of the art rogue equipment. Not only is the equipment well maintained, I was impressed by the warmup, programming and coaching. Coach Sergio is very knowledgeable of the human body as proven by how he warmed up the class. Drop-Ins are welcomed and thus I recommend going to this gym! read more

PXM Fitness - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

It's a great neighborhood gym in Edgewater, Chicago. Friendly and all the equipment you'll need.

I found PXM when I was looking for a gym that was close to my home, knowing that distance/accessibility was my biggest barrier to entering the world of organized fitness. I was hesitant to try a CrossFit gym - I had only the stereotypes of burly dudes weight-lifting in my mind. With the encouragement of others, I gave it a try and have been a member for the last seven months. The option to start with an "On Ramp" (series of one-on-one intro classes) was key to my success. Their class schedule is easy to incorporate into my life, and the class sizes are always small enough to allow for personal attention and plenty of equipment. The coaches are fantastic humans with a sincere interest in the people they are coaching. PXM is an exceptional gym - they take their mission seriously, and do so with a positive attitude: To transform people's relationship with fitness, provide for healthier lifestyles, and give back to the community. It hopefully speak volumes that I am reviewing a gym during a time when I cannot attend the gym (in person) due to the COVID shelter-in-place restrictions. They have really upped their game and made "virtual" coaching a priority. It has played a huge role in keeping me sane during this uncertain time. read more

I've been to a few crossfit and crossfit type gyms around the country and this is arguably one of the best! 1) Really great set of engaged coaches who are focused on your form, your wellbeing, your health. There are not pushing a standard or specific version of "fitness" on you. Instead they help you find what's best for you and your goals. 2) Great space and equipment with a ton options in terms of programming. Good for a lot of reasons, but it's great for scaling up or down, tweaking a workout for your needs (see #1 above), etc 3) Great community of people. If you're going to spend time and money to go somewhere several hours a week, you might as well go to a a welcoming, friendly community that is looking out for you. Highly recommended! read more

I went here for a trial class at a friend's insistence because he would not shut up about CrossFit. That was 3 years ago and I still look forward to every day that I train here. They switched ownership last year and the gym has only gotten better under Senad, Lamont and Ben. The coaches are very knowledgeable and remember things about you- weakness, injuries, strengths and help you tailor the workout. The weekly programming is great and is designed in such a way there are no "easy" days and you can never really cherry pick, thanks a lot Senad! But once you see the results, you will appreciate why they do it that way. They also hold special clinics to work on specific skills. They have started partnering with physical therapy, yoga and nutritional programming so you can avail all that. The community is great and very supportive. I am so glad I went to that trial class 3 years ago! Give it a try if you are on the fence, you might love it as much as I do. read more

I mean, how can anyone say anything negative about PXM Crossfit!!! I was a coach at the old box (which was under different ownership) and i moved away when these 3 guys took the challenge and accepted it well!!! I've dropped in a couple times recently and i continue to be amazed at all that is going on!!! To name some highlights: *drop ins always welcomed with open arms *amazing community *new equipment *clothing & water bottles always available for purchase *seminars often (double under clinic, nutrition clinic ) *variety of classes *coaches are always willing to spend extra time with members to help them grow Bottom line, PXM Crossfit is hands-down one of the best Crossfit gyms I've been too! Oh, and I've been Crossfitting and dropping into boxes since 2012! I highly recommend to anyone wanting a change, challenge, whatever it may be.... come talk to Senad, Lamont and/or Ben at PXM!!! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

This place is AMAZING. I have been working out there for a month and I am already hooked! The coaches are all so knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. They make sure you're safe and keeping good body alignment and they build you up from the basics so that you have great (and injury free) workouts. It's so much fun too!! read more

This gym is awesome. First, the instructors are super friendly and knowledgable. Second, the space is very modern and clean. They use a lot of technology (apps, screens, etc.) to make everything easy from seeing the workouts to making short videos of how to do the movements. Third, this gym is extremely welcoming to people of all fitness levels. One of my favorite things about them is that they have two WOD (Workout of the Day) options most days: one is a "performance" and has technical lifts and movements (olympic weightlifting, handstand pushups etc.) and the other WOD is a "fitness" one that is accessible to everyone (and still a fantastic workout). I was really into crossfit from 2012 to 2016, but stopped going in part because it was too focused on lifting heavy weight and led to injuries. PXM Crossfit has created a version of Crossfit that is actually geared towards getting fit. Finally, the gym is super community oriented and everyone I've met so far is really nice :). read more

Owners Lamont, Senad, & Ben will do more for you than effectively whip your butt into shape. Through their members, they've created a true network of supportive individuals. Powered by Movement is not an intimidating place, but rather an environment where you're encouraged and inspired to push yourself and explore your limits, all while getting in great shape. I don't know what their special sauce is, but Senad, Lamont, & Ben (as well as the other coaches!) have it and they deliver it to their clients every day. Their equipment is new and they replace things as they wear out (no ragged equipment everyone avoids), the gym is super clean (as well as the bathrooms), the coaches are friendly and despite the gym's growing popularity, they know everyone's name. Parking is also manageable in the area and the gym is in a pretty convenient location. Beyond regular CrossFit classes, they do core classes, yoga, olympic weightlifting classes, and hold a lot of clinics and workshops. If you want to be healthy, understand your body, and get in shape, this is where you go. read more

I'm from la and I dropped in for open gym and let me tell you, this is the CLEANEST gym I've ever been to. The staff were all so kind and helpful! I hit a pr during my workout and I felt so supported! Thank you for making traveling easier for me! read more

Really love this gym/box. The coaches are great and show attention to the athletes making adjustments, modifications, corrections as needed. Senad has a lot of valuable wisdom and insight. It's also one of the best deals in town. Couldn't recommend enough! read more

I have worked out at multiple CrossFit gyms in the Chicago area and have been most impressed by PXM Crossfit. The programming is thoughtful/intentional and intelligent, and the coaches are all knowledgeable professionals. The facility is kept in pristine condition and the community it great. I would highly recommend PXM to athletes of all levels! read more

Before joining, I could only do a handful of pull ups, push ups, and had been going to the gym for years, without a plan, and without seeing much results. After training at PXM for 3 months, I completed the Murphy Challenge (1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats, 1 mile run) in 45 min, which I would never have imagined completing before joining PXM. The training is great, the community is supportive, and challenge is worth committing to. read more

This is the best Crossfit gym in the city. Everyone should go to PXM! People that think Crossfit isn't for them simply haven't attempted it with proper coaching. All of the coaches at PXM are top tier. Lamont knows his stuff better than anyone out there and he practices what he preaches, so you know you're in good hands. The classes (WODs) are structured in a way that give due emphasis to warming up and mobility, making the transition into the Olympic weightlifting and compound movements seamless. My quality of life has improved since starting to work out at PXM -- and that's the best compliment I can give! read more

Dedicated coaches. Passionate at every minute of the day about what they do, have created, and your growth. To say that this community has constructively contributed to the basis of meaning in my life falls short to the talents and commitments of those involved in this box, coaches and members also. Varied workouts. Tailored teachings. Supportive, growing, and plain old kick ass community make this space one worth your investment. Train here. read more
