EAD/CrossFit Arlington Heights was my first foray into CrossFit. As I write this review, I've since…read moremoved away and have begun a heavy travel rotation with work. I've been to five (and counting) boxes since EAD, and this one is the best by a long shot. The programming is peerless. You can't go anywhere else and find such a diverse array - WODs, power lifting, rowing, boot camps. Additionally, their programming is well thought out. You can go every day of the week, and you won't get bored or burn out a muscle group. The coaches are fantastic and take a real interest in your personal goals. They all preach technique. Several of the coaches compete in events. It makes a real difference to have that kind of knowledge available to you. It's like learning how to cook from a master chef. They're also constantly learning and staying at the forefront of programming techniques and nutrition. Rather than being stuck in a certain training mentality, they evolve with the sport and the science. I've recommended this box to everyone I know who lives in the area, and I've even gotten a couple of my friends to join. It's been said that the strongest recommendation of a service is a referral. I'm more than happy to refer EAD over and over again.

Love the big aerobics room which, when not being used for classes, serves as a quiet place to train. Consider that many people never put the weights back, don't wipe down the machines, talk loudly on their phones, etc. This goes on in any gym. And like any gym, it has its busy hours but there are plenty of alternative ways to get a good workout. Sometimes the environment is too loud for me so I just put on my headphones and move! One other thing: signing up for personal training (which is very expensive) is like buying a car. This should be simplified, but corporate probably wants to confuse you. Definitely give this location a try. I have been a satisfied member for a couple of years.

It's frustrating that I can't even cancel my membership right now because it's the beginning of the month and refunds are not offered. Overall, the experience has been very disappointing.

Everyone greets you with a smile and is there to answer any questions or help out wherever they can. They are constantly cleaning the gym and ensuring that supplies are well filled. I'm only hoping that the PF organization will change its policy and allow the workers to please, have a time where they can sit down behind that counter during their shift. I can't imagine that it's healthy for someone to be standing on the floor the entire time in this position. If the chairs were a little bit higher, they could still be greeting us and getting off the chair when we needed anything. (Just a suggestion.) The Arlington Heights Planet Fitness is definitely an establishment you want to check out if you want to work out and get healthier in a clean, well equipped and friendly environment.

From day one, Coach Jimmy took the time to understand her goals and created workouts that challenged her while building confidence. We've seen noticeable improvements in her speed, strength, agility, and overall athleticism, and those improvements have carried over onto the softball field. What really stands out is the positive and motivating environment. Coach Jimmy genuinely cares about each athlete and knows how to push them while making every session fun and engaging. Our daughter actually looks forward to going to training, which says a lot. The entire team at D1 Training Arlington Heights is welcoming, knowledgeable, and passionate about helping athletes succeed. Whether your child is looking to improve for a specific sport or simply become a stronger, more confident athlete, I highly recommend D1. It's been a fantastic experience for our family!

I started at Superior in 2012, the summer before my junior year of high school. I originally wanted to work on my strength and speed as I was working towards furthering my baseball career in high school and college. I saw results after training with Will and Boone for a few months and solidified myself on the varsity baseball roster with the extra power I gained in my arm and my bat. I ended up leading the team in multiple batting categories my junior and senior year and acquired multiple looks from DI and DIII baseball programs. After my senior year, I was accepted to the Coast Guard Academy and earned a spot on their baseball roster while concurrently serving in the military. The strength that I gained from SAA helped me during boot camp and got me through that with ease. Fast forward to 2018, I recently moved back to Chicago and got involved in Olympic Weightlifting. I had a sound basis of the technique that I learned all the way back in 2012 when I first trained at SAA, but I had not trained full time for a while. I wanted to find a program that I could get personal feedback from while having a tailored and individualized workout made for me. I was confident that the coaches could bring me to another level with my lifting abilities. So I decided to take a chance and see what I could learn with the coaches at SAA. I started training with Will and Kurt in August of 2018 and I have seen tremendous gains in my technique, strength, and volume that I can lift. My lifts have gone up various amounts, and I have learned so much about training methods, technique, recovery, and programming with the coaches here. I came in clean and jerking 127kg/279lb, and SAA has helped me get to a 140kg/308lb clean and 151kg/332lb jerk. My squats have increased by 10kg/22lb in the back squat and 15kg/33lb in the front squat. I feel stronger, and I can handle much more volume in training than when I came into SAA in August of 2018. My technique has improved immensely, and I consistently receive feedback on how to lift better. Overall, the community at SAA is hard to beat. Everyone knows each other and motivates one another to reach their goals. The atmosphere is a great place to train and learn in. Everyone is there to help, and the coaches put a lot of time and effort into writing each workout and explaining each part to you. I have felt that if I ever have a problem with any part of the lifts, I can come to any one of the coaches and ask them how to fix it. I am looking forward to the future with SAA, and I am proud to be part of this community.
