Crossfit Park Ridge - #1 Crossfit Gym

High quality CrossFit gym with amazing staff and excellent community feel! The overall floor is spacious, clean, and offers plenty of equipment for a variety of workouts. The trainers are incredibly fun, funny, knowledgeable, and provide a very inclusive environment for any individuals level of fitness. Over the months I’ve been a member, I’ve really been impressed by the overall friendliness and commitment of everyone working out/working at the gym. CrossFit Park Ridge is easily my favorite gym in the area since moving here over two years ago. The staff/owners are really dedicated to the space and have a passion for what they do, which certainly flows down to the members. Highly recommend anyone who wants to take their fitness journey to the next level to come here!

I recently joined CrossFit Park Ridge and hands down, best choice I’ve made. Very warm and welcoming community. Workouts are challenging and never boring. And coaches are great! My only regret is not joining sooner.

If you’re ready and serious about improving your fitness, go check them out. Highly recommended!

CFPR has made health and fitness an obsession for me. The coaching is superb and the community even better. They support you and make you feel apart of the group from the moment you walk in, no matter your fitness level or knowledge of the movements. They tailor all workouts to you.

I honestly had a completely different view of what Crossfit was 7 months ago when I walked in the door. I couldn’t have been more wrong.

Take the chance and walk in, you won’t regret it.

One of the best gyms I have been to in the Midwest! Great coaching and great community. This place has so much more than just CrossFit. There is a huge powerlift, oly and strongman gym located adjacent to CrossFit space and owned by the same people. Plus, they have recently built a state of the art recovery center with cold tubs.saunas, and message chairs. Definitely have to check this place out of you are in the area!

I joined CFPR to get back into a strength routine September 2019.
As a busy mom of twins it is easy to get all consumed with my kids needs and agenda. Reaching out to a dear friend and Chicago Barbell member she highly recommended I check out CFPR . I was quickly embraced by the community as were my children which is HUGE! I have been to other CF gyms who are not as accommodating to younger children. LJ and Gerard are always quick to answer questions and give top notch coaching on form and technique. All of the coaches on staff are genuine and come with a variety of competitive and sports knowledge. I found this gym to be comprehensive as several formats are offered. If you are nervous about a full on CF work out no problem they have it covered BootFit or PR30 is the class for you. I love to cycle and PR spin (30 min) is a great way warm up to a full work out class or if you are in a time crunch. Yoga, well they have that too.

The facility is clean, orderly and spacious. They take care to service the equipment making sure its all in top working order. Need some tweaking after a workout they have partnered with Unbroken Rehab and Fred is amazing. Being a mom and "older" athlete its nice to have someone to talk to on how to adapt a workout if my body isn't cooperating or assistance in additional supplemental exercises to support my gym workouts.

And back to my babies they love the gym as well. They actually look forward to going because of the staff and they participate in the CF kids on Sundays. If you have an unlimited membership you can enjoy all of these amenities plus access to open gym time if you need. Oh yes and if they don't have it no problem you also get a special discounted monthly rate at the Barbell Compound as a CrossFit member. I like to use the heavy bags and some of the plate loaded machines at Barbell. I am sure by now you can tell I am a big fan and can't wait to get back to my regularly scheduled workouts....OH yes this community has some fun Competitions and group outings too ---So stop in to say HI and get your sweat on. .... You will love it I promise.

CFPR is an absolutely amazing gym. I was in town for a few months traveling for school and everyone welcomed me in immediately. Their coaches are focused on technique and all the classes are well rounded with strength and cardio. The community here is so kind and encouraging. I can’t recommend CFPR enough, truly the #1 CrossFit gym!

This place is awesome--great space that can support both crossfit classes and open gym at all times. Coaches and members are super friendly, too!

Great gym and community. Worked out here for a few years and loved it. Learned some really valuable fitness and life skills that have served me well in the years since. I’d recommend it to anyone interested

Great coaching staff, great atmosphere, great equipment. My physique and strength has all improved since joining here. The best gym in the Area 100%.

CFPR is a welcoming community that offers programming to a wide range of fitness levels. The coaches meet you where you are at and then push you a little bit harder. The community is fun, welcoming and supportive to all age levels. This is the place for you if you are seeking a personal challenge and the opportunity to improve your overall health and life in general. I am always happy when I walk through the door before a workout and even happier after working out with friends, challenges and good times .

Great atmosphere and great motivating and experienced intellectual coaches. The gym has and is still is getting me in the best shape of my life. As a professional athlete they have been so very comforting and supportive of my career passions that I feel everyone should know about them

A Great Place.

Crossfit Park Ridge is not only a great gym facility and fitness program, but also a great community that welcomes all levels of ability. The trainers are motivating, friendly and take the time to coach and demonstrate the techniques that the variety of workouts entail. The class workouts can be challenging, but are fun and rewarding, and never boring. To top it off, the membership price is low compared to other gyms. Highly recommend.

Great place for working out Love coming in to a clean, welcoming environment. The coach's are super knowledgeable and friendly . I would recommend.

Amazing box. I came back to this place for the 2nd and 3rd time. (Friday and Saturday)
I strongly recommend this place. Good coaches and very friendly and welcoming environment.

Crossfit Park Ridge is one of the best gyms I’ve ever been to. The owners, Gerard and Lawrence, are responsive, knowledgeable, and truly care about their members. They have a great staff of coaches that keep classes fun and informative. It really does feel like a family being a part of this gym’s community. I recommend this facility to anyone and everyone!

I joined Crossfit Park Ridge because I wanted something akin to personal or small group training to get in shape for my wedding. I started out in Late spring of 2016 in their “bootfit” program and took the CrossFit fundamentals workshop a few months later. Any shyness I felt immediately fell away as the members immediately welcomed me into their community. And that is what I feel and love the most about this gym—the community, support, and sense of family. I gained a tremendous amount of confidence and strength while training at this gym. At CFPR I learned to push myself and test my limits. I would never have trained for an intense law enforcement physical fitness test before I started at CFPR. Because I gained so much confidence, I trusted myself and my abilities and went for it. And I passed!

I left the gym for a time because I moved out of the neighborhood. Then Covid hit, bringing quarantine and isolation. My CFPR family supported me through that time the most. As soon as they were ready and allowed to open, I came back despite the longer commute. CFPR has done a great job of following the guidelines of social distancing and cleanliness practices. I feel very comfortable, and they work to make all of their members feel welcome and respected despite our varying individual levels of comfort during this strange time. I am happy to call CFPR my home gym!

I've been a part of three different CF gyms before and this is where I chose to stay and make my home. Since my first day they have welcomed me with open arms, and they are a very tight knit community. They also offer a lot of open gym hours which helps with my ever-changing schedule.

If you ever want to get serious about your fitness for the long term, you'd miss out if you didn't join Crossfit Park Ridge

Crossfit Park Ridge is amazing on every level. The coaches are some of the most encouraging people I have ever met and they really care about all the athletes and their progress. Probably like a lot of people starting Crossfit for the first time, I was nervous and intimidated. As soon as I joined CFPR I felt welcomed and successful. After more than a year I still can not RX every workout, but I always feel like I am getting better. The athletes at the gym are dedicated and encouraging. The facility has a wide variety of equipment that is well maintained. If you are considering Crossfit, I can not recommend CFPR enough!

Amazing community and excellent staff! Always pushing you to achieve your goals and taking the time to know you on an individual basis. Very friendly atmosphere with lots of opportunities to get involved and a gym that really pushes community events! Great coaching staff and owners who truly are passionate about their jobs. Offers two types of classes with a variety of class times, so you have a lot of options. This gym is built upon family, they want to give you the best experience possible for an affordable price! If you are looking to start CrossFit or just push your fitness regime this is the place for you!

This is the first cross fit gym I've ever been to. I started out in Boot Fit for about 2 weeks and loved the classes. It was a great introduction to what you might be getting into. The CrossFit classes were awesome also. The coaches were great about breaking down the movements during warm ups which reduced my chance of injury or looking rather foolish. I was definitely sore, the people are all awesome, and the coaches exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend this gym.
