Ardent Fitness

Ardent fitness is a fantastic place for fitness. The coaches are fantastic and willing to work with you individually and make sure are moving in a safe and effective manner. The facility is extremely clean and wide open. The gym is great, but it's the gym members that keep you going. everyone is extremely friendly and motivating, a great environment all around.

Great experience! I had the pleasure of dropping in from out of town and the experience did not disappoint! Colin was an excellent coach, super proficient with his movement demonstrations and very clear on providing direction! I was ecstatic that they use the level method here since my home gym uses that and I'm familiar it already! The programming was very clear and allowed for enough time to properly warm up, and complete the skill/strength portion of the workout before moving into the WOD. Colin was super encouraging and motivating, while also giving me some coaching on points of performance to improve my movements. I highly recommend reaching out ahead of time and getting signed up online, it was a super easy process! The facility is clean, spacious, and well equipped with all the essentials! I'll definitely be back here next time I'm in town!

I have been a member of Ardent since June 2019, and I have so many good and positive things I'd like to share, but I'll keep it simple.
1. You are welcomed with positive, happy energy EVERY time you walk into the gym.
2. You are taught proper form (a mandatory introduction to weight lifting before you are set loose to sign-up for classes) and encouraged to focus on your form versus piling on the weights.
3. There is not a BRO or Debbie Downer in sight.
4. I have never ONCE felt intimidated or less than based on my abilities
5. There are open lines of communication from the owner to every coach. If you have a question, concern or even a proud moment, everyone at Ardent is right there for you.

What are you waiting for...reach out now, I know you wont regret it. Hope to see you there.

Top notch facility, people and coaches. I drop into many boxes because of travel, and Ardent Fitness is by far the cleanest and most welcoming. That's a direct reflection on Chase's passion for CrossFit and fitness. Luckily for me I get to call it my home gym. Working out with people I consider friends and the coaches who truly care are the difference. Highly recommended.

The decision to become a member of CrossFit Algonquin was an easy one for me. The first class I had with Coach Chase(owner) and Sarah, I knew immediately I would call this place home. Since then I have worked out with each coach in the building and can say that every one of them is knowledgeable, committed to helping you move safely and efficiently, and best of all, they care about you. You will find every skill level at this gym, so if you think you can't do it, YOU CAN. If you think you won't fit in, YOU WILL. Trust me. CrossFit Algonquin has the best coaches, but they also have the best members. That's the best part about joining, it is a positive community that will embrace you and support you the minute you step through the doors. We all have fun! Join us!

If you are looking for a box that staffed with coaches who genuinely want people to move well and get the best out of their experience, this is the gym for you. All of the coaches are amazing and are really great people. I've been a member since October of 2015 and now I am there ALL the time! The people are great, programming is great and again seriously the coaches are great! If I could give them 10 stars I would!

I recently moved to the Lake in the Hills and was looking for a gym that would allow me to work with a team that would help me stay motivated and feel included. I tried a couple in the area before joining Ardent Fitness - CrossFit Algonquin and was just not satisfied with what they offered. I now feel like part of a family that cares and supports you in your goals every time you step in the box. Any age, any fitness level, anybody! I am so glad I found this great group! Highly recommend!

Ardent Fitness gave me an experience I have never had before when it comes to a workout program. During quarantine, the coaches made videos walking us through the movements, and they had class times on Zoom so we were still able to get coaching. That progress has paid off for me once I got back into the gym, especially with the new normal. Very clean gym and well thought out workout plans!

I have attended this box regularly for months now. It is by far the best box in the area. I highly recommend this box. You will find top notch coaches that continuously seek out training and education to provide the best information for their members. All the members and coaches feel like family; there is no competition except to be the best you that you can be. Goals are looked after and training is directed so you can meet those goals. They also just recently started doing nutrition coaching as well, because you can't outrun a box of donuts. There's no shaming here, only upward and onward. I have seen pretty much all of my numbers improve at this gym and that's because you get the attention you need here.

If you are looking for an inclusive, well maintained family oriented place to workout & grow, then Ardent Fitness is the right place to be.

The gym opened mid 2018, with new & well taken care of equipment and amenities. Ardent has 2 personal showers, optional grab and go food if ordered and a dedicated kids room. They also have a variety of supplements available for purchase.

Ardent Fitness also has a personalized individual design program and space to specifically help you reach your individual goals.

Most importantly, the coaching staff cares about their members and their positive experience above all in my personal opinion.

With classes ranging from 12 members or less, they do an outstanding job of making you feel like you are the most important person there.

Ardent also includes a nutrition coach to help you achieve your dietary goals, and will also have an on-site massage therapist.

I have been a member for 1 year, and I have gained more than a gym membership by being a member of Ardent Fitness.

My first experience with Ardent has been amazing. From my movement assessment to the group thrive class, everything is exceeding my expectations! I'm grateful Ardent has socially distant classes that are tailored to my lifestyle goals. I would recommend anyone to come here!

This gym is so amazing! I love how motivating all of the coaches are. I am currently doing personal training with Coach Sarah and she is so great at tailoring the work-out to help with my specific problems (knee pain). I’m seeing results already and it’s only been 2.5 months. Come check it out! You won’t regret it!

Like many, I was hesitant to come back into the gym after the quarantine was lifted, but the coaches at Ardent did everything they could to make my experience back as safe as possible. The gym occupancy is capped, and I had my own spot on the floor that was more than 6’ apart from the next person for a socially distanced workout.

Not surprising but talking about going the extra mile... the coaches placed personal sanitizer spray bottles so that I could wipe everything down after my time in the gym.

Have you ever had a manager who saw you as a person and not just an asset? Who wanted you to grow in your career even if it's OUTSIDE your current company and role? Ardent coaches are like that manager, they want the total YOU to be better not just jacked or ripped. Their top concern isn't that you are a forever member at Ardent and paying dues to make them money but that you are growing and making real sustainable life changes.

Thanks guys!

Head trainer/owner Chase is very knowledgeable and extremely passionate about teaching crossfit properly. He's also down to earth which makes training with him very enjoyable. All of his equipment is top of the line as well, his gym gets an easy 5 stars.

This is a hidden gem tucked back in algonquin near the post office. Clean environment, great equipment with lots of space to exercise. Good vibes and friendly people. Chase and his team are very knowledgeable and passionate in health and wellness. They do coaching, training and offer massage therapy. Great place and people. Highly recommended!

These coaches genuinely care about your health, fitness and wellness The membership community is supportive and friendly. There are people of all fitness levels so don't be intimidated. My advice, step out of your comfort zone and give it a try. You will be amazed at what you can do with the right coaching and support system.

If you're looking for knowledgeable staff, super clean environment & a relaxed fun atmosphere this is the place! Don't think you can do Crossfit because of an injury/limitation? Think again. Chase & staff are hands down the best at making sure every movement is attainable to everyone's needs. Small class sizes are a HUGE plus. No worries about getting lost in the crowd. I've accomplished things I never thought were possible thanks to Chase & his staff.

Love this box! Best coaches, athletes, equipment and an encouraging support system. I'm happy to be a member of this box and wish I'd found it sooner.

I've only been doing crossfit for several months now. I've been to numerous gyms around the country and i must say that Chase and Ryan do an excellent job with instructions, safety, and knowledge. The one-on-one time the coaches spend with you is extremely motivating and full of encouragement. Highly reccomend CROSSFIT ALGONQUIN to anyone looking to add some spark to their lives. These guys know what they're doing!

To be honest with anybody reading this, I had a poor experience at a different CrossFit gym last year and, although I was wrong for doing it, I swore off the sport as a whole. After working out at a run-of-the-mill gym and realizing that I kept encountering that dreaded workout plateau, I needed something different. With that being said, I contacted the owner and considered giving CrossFit another chance. I was REALLY happy that I did.

The owner's response was prompt and inviting, and I could 'hear' his enthusiasm and his wanting to answer my questions all through a Facebook message (pretty impressive if you ask me). He explained his gym, the members, his passion for the sport and for helping others, and addressed my concerns as well. I signed up for the Foundations class to get started and I certainly didn't regret it. The owner and other trainers are devoted to proper form, technique, and the safety of the members...which was VERY refreshing to learn. I HIGHLY recommend CrossFit Algonquin to everyone!
