Reviews of CrossTown Fitness - West Loop (Gym)

Emily Seto

I went to a Total Body class on a Friday at 5:30 PM. I had difficulty making a reservation on the CrossTown Fitness website, so I just showed up. The facility is pretty small and there were maybe 25 people in attendance (almost all women), plus another woman who was undergoing a personal training session. It was quite crowded and we had to be careful not to hit or kick each other while doing some of the exercises. The exercise routine was very difficult and I felt like there was a lot of pressure to push yourself past what was feasible or safe. The instructor was like a drill sergeant who just kept yelling at us to keep moving and giving us the evil eye if we ever mercifully took a break. The instructor never emphasized proper form and never helped correct anyone's form. I saw many folks using dangerously poor form just in attempts to keep going with the exercises. Our cooldown routine was a joke - we did two stretches which took about a minute. Then the class was dismissed at about 6:15 (it's supposed to run until 6:20 or 6:30). I don't understand why we wouldn't do a more thorough cooldown routine, given that the class was supposed to run longer anyways. Overall, I wasn't entirely thrilled with my experience. I bought a Living Social deal for 5 classes, so I will try to go back a few more times simply to honor what I've already purchased. Otherwise, I won't be back.

One of the coolest gyms I have been to in a long time. It encompasses the "work hard, play hard" mindset. It allows me to come in, be myself and not be judged.

Tommy Bazan

Great mix of cardio and strength. System allows members to go at their own pace.

Samantha Hickey

CTF has been an awesome addition to my workout routine - no class is ever the same!

Rosemary Bobadilla

The best full body and challenging workouts I’ve done .I love how everyday is a different routine and pushes me to limits I didn’t think I had in me . I rave to all my friends how great this place is and how awesome the instructors are . It’s my happy place !

Diana Fontanez

Great workouts and awesome instructors!! Best part is that it's very convenient for me and I'm in and out after my workout. If you want a killer workout, this is the place!!

Chris B

Great workout classes and members. Always fun to work out here.

Sara Buxton

I loved the strength focus on class and the teachers specific cues for form and alignment.

Justin Clapper

Can't say enough good things about this place. I've been a member for over 3 years. I'm past going into a weight room and doing a routine. I just show up to class. All of the trainers are professional and friendly. You can pick a trainer that suits your style - I choose my workouts around my schedule - regardless of the trainer you'll never leave thinking, "That was easy." They have two locations in the city and classes throughout the day beginning at 5 am during the week. A few classes a week will put you in the best shape of your life.

Ashley Raynor

My favorite group fitness class in town! Fantastic trainers, very knowledgeable and attentive to form and quality in each workout. Never gets boring with the rotating workouts (and great playlists). Plus the outdoor classes in the summer are a major plus!

Melissa Repking

The trainers are awesome and the classes are never the same. I always feel great when I leave!

Veronica

Great workouts, never bored since every workout is different. The trainers are the best! Love CTF

Lauren Drach

Experience at CrossTown has been top notch! Clean, bright space. Motivating, no nonsense coaches. And great class schedule and efficient use of time! Keep it up, CrossTown

Kaitlyn Dvorachek

Challenging, but feels great. I like the 30 second intervals because it makes the time pass quickly, and for tougher exercises, "the end is in sight" and it makes me push myself for that amount of time. Awesome variety of moves, too!

Brian Chan

Friendly staff, knowledgeable trainers. Thanks for getting me back to training again.

Julie Long

great workout, I am sore for days!

Anisha Patel

Clean and simply a great HIIT workout. Expert instructors that know what they are doing and are actively checking your form. I also enjoy that no workout is ever the same!

Craig Franzen

Did CrossFit for several years before finding CrossTown Fitness. The HIIT workouts here are great and I'm not getting injured like I was doing CrossFit. Best gym in the city.

Bobbie Zimny

Highly recommend CrossTown Fitness if you’re looking fot a high energy, challenging workout class. You won’t be disappointed! Don’t forget that water bottle.

Veronica Rivero

I love CTF West Loop! I bought a one month unlimited to check them out and I'm obsessed so far! The classes are very challenging but after a few you get the hang of it and want to keep coming back! No class is ever the same, which keeps you motivated and ensures you work new muscles in your body! I'm already seeing results, which I haven't after working out at other gyms/studios for a year in the past! I highly recommend it!

Mary Hussey

Amazing gym. If you like HIIT and new workouts made for you everyday this is the gym for you. 10/10 would recommend.

Caroline Burke

Excellent staff, excellent workout, excellent facility. Loved it all. I am SO hoping that the new location will be included in Class Pass!

Jeanne Weaver

Friendly and encouraging staff. Everything I’m looking for in a gym membership, including clean facilities, challenging environment, and fun, yet difficult, workouts that never get mundane. CTF is the place to be :)

Julie Christie

Hands down the best gym in Chicago. They offer HIIT training, and focus on total body and strength classes throughout the week. The mobility classes are also great since a focus on stretching is key when performing this type of workout. I love the instructors, they are top notch, and their ability to keep it interesting by mixing up workouts. I'm in amazing shape thanks to CTF!

Sania Mushir

I have never been a part of a better work out class/program than this and I have been doing various forms of work out classes for MANY MANY years - 10 plus years.

Jared Klinefelter

My wife and I tried Orange Theory for a couple months last year and it was a lot of cardio (run/row). We joined CTF a couple weeks ago and love that it's more slanted toward full body strength circuit training which keeps our heart rates up without the need to run or row a few miles like Orange Theory. We love CTF and the optional Child Care - HUGE benefit since we prefer working out together but rarely were able to before we joined CTF (2 kids). The only reason I'm not ranking 5 star is because paying more than $100/month per person to workout puts a dent in any family's budget.

Jessica Lu

Super friendly staff, always very motivating! I recommend Total Body with Liu or Kaylie!

Kelly Bradley

I get a phenomenal workout every time I go into Crosstown. The workouts are always different, and the instructors are friendly, enthusiastic and helpful. A great environment all around! I would recommend it to anyone looking to get in shape and meet a wonderful community of people.

Antonia Asimis

Love going here. Instructor are all very nice, energetic and help you out if they see you aren't doing an exercise right. Intense work out, dramatic transformation in no time if you stick with it. Love it, will return.

Tommy C

Unique and challenging workouts every time!

Arianne Agdamag

Great instructors!

David Leightner

I have been about 5 times and each class is unique. All great workouts and staff genuinely wants to help you make your wellness goals.

Kristen Ortiz

Great environment with awesome teachers and challenging classes. This is a gym perfect for all levels. Although classes are tough, teachers never expect you to go past your limits. Modifications are always suggested. I always leave drenched in sweat and feeling stronger. I've been coming here 3-4 times a week for almost 3 weeks now and can already see and feel a difference in my body!

Maggie Becker

This gym really is great for all levels. Each workout is new and challenging. Fast paced group classes may seem big, but the instructors still manage to give one on one encouragement. I have a knee injury and they are great at giving modified options. It is a really fun class that flies by. They have healthy foods options in the gym if you are running to or from work, and the staff is always helpful. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to improve their fitness at any level. It is all about how hard you push yourself.

Rajiv Nathan

Amazing workout, and the instructor helped improve my kettlebell form, plus gave me modifications for my knee injury.

Jonathan Malacarne

Been going for years. Great trainers and an ass kicking workouts!

Melissa Kujawa

I signed up for two weeks to try out the class but it only took me about 30 minutes to decide I wanted to belong to this gym! I have been showing up to the 5 am class and have been giving it my all! I am out of shape and I am ready for a change with a healthy lifestyle and a strong body. Everyone in the class is in excellent shape which goes a long way to say that this place is where you become committed and like a family. All of the instructors are amazing and very motivating. My favorite so far are Tres and Betina. I am not where I need to be today but I am dedicated to putting in hard work and can't wait to start seeing amazing changes! Thank you to the instructors for making every workout different and allowing me to push myself!

kelsey mayher

I loved the coaching, and the way the class was set up. It was exactly what I am looking for, functional movement exercises that is not crossfit but somewhat similar in class set up and strength building.

Kelly Lakas

Killer workouts, welcoming trainers. Whenever I am in the west Loop for work, I head over to CTF for their noon workout class. Whatever it is, it's challenging but fun, and I feel amazing afterwards. Wish there was one out in the 'burbs where I live!

Dana Zukanovich

I just moved back to Chicago and to the West Loop and was looking for a class that would really work me hard! I have certainly met my match here at CTF. I like that every work out is different. It is usually stations with intervals, but that is exactly the workout I love. I've also met a few people in the classes, as I think the gym does a great job of promoting a sense of community. All the trainers are great so you can't go wrong with what class you take.

Meenakshi Wadhwa

Cross Town Fitness is the bomb! As is Jessica Kilts, I love her Total Body class and she’s so knowledgeable, her minor tweaks and adjustments make a HUGE difference, not to mention the fast paced classes just fly by and before you know it the guesome Hiit workout is complete :)

Aimee Roby

I love the classes! The instructors are so motivating and I feel like I get a great workout every time.

Kevin Finger

The instructors are excellent as are the facilities. This combination makes for great classes.

Mike Jannusch

This place is awesome! The staff is great, and the scenery is top notch too!

Kendall Meyer

Clean workout facility with an extremely welcoming staff! Each workout is unique, usually consisting of 4-5 stations with different HIIT exercises. The 50-minutes classes move by quickly with the various exercises, upbeat music, and friendly, helpful instructors. I would highly recommend!

Mia WORLD Monsivais

I love the classes here, plenty of class options and hours are great.

Amanda Wilson

Best Group Studio and Personal Training in the city. This hybrid of cardiovascular and strength training is scalable, fun and challenging. I get my butt kicked everything. But I love it! They also have just strength, mobility and running classes. I have 2 kids and the child care is perfect for me to drop off while I train. 5 stars

Olivia Pelaez

Really challenging class! Loved the format of it.

Gule S

CrossTown convert. I'm hooked for good!

Ben Neeme

Crosstown's classes are always different keeping the workouts interesting. The trainers all bring a lot of energy to the table promoting an overall great customer experience. Everyone is able to benefit from the workouts no matter what level they may be at in their personal fitness goals.

Maria Fernanda Wetzel

CTF has a variety of trainers and each one of them brings a different and awesome workout. They not only offer a total body workout, but also strength, mobility and running classes. You can pick a class in the morning, midday, afternoon or night, with childcare being offered in the mornings and weekends. I have been working out here for almost three years and love how all trainers keep me motivated, challenged and engaged. They are always trying new and fun formats which will never make you feel bored. If you are looking for a gym, stop looking and try Cross Town Fitness.

Anna McKendrick

Love the class structures and motivating instructors!

Usman Siddiqi

Every class is different and crazy calorie burn

Al Carter

I definitely love CrossTown Fitness. I like the different approach to working out in an environment that is suitable to both men and women without having the crossfit feel. Plus, all of the trainers are amazing and so nice. It is a great place to get pushed beyond your individual comfort levels.

Emily Klinefelter

Loving this gym! All the trainers are energetic and fun. No work-out is ever the same! Highly recommend!

Bill E Morrison

Challenging workout expertly led by Betina in superb facilities.

Allie Huey

Dawn was very personable but also really pushed us. She put together a creative workout that was really challenging yet fun. The facility was great and front desk staff was very helpful. Great gym

Ashley Foster

The classes are always challenging and the workout changes everyday so you don’t get bored. The coaches are enthusiastic, clear with instruction and helpful with providing modifications. I would recommend CTF to anyone. Try it out!

Sandra Moran

Tried it for a week. Loved that they mixed it up every single class. Cross training isn't so much my thing, but if it were I'm sure this would be the place I would go to.

Shivani S

I've been trying to find a high intense workout in the west loop and I've finally found it. This place is great if you want to get in shape and get a good workout in. The instructors are really friendly and willing to help. The workout facility is super clean and also has a smoothie bar which is great if you don't have time to eat right after your workout. Overall, love this place!

Mollie Rawleigh

Great class, workout, and instructor at CTF (West Loop). Our instructor Danny was well prepared with a variety of exercises to keep us going and feel it the next day. Thank You Danny!

Nate Schroeder

Instructors are knowledgeable and motivating. Classes are grueling, but don't be afraid, all the work outs can be done at your own pace. Wish I still lived in Chicago so I could take advantage of everything CTF has to offer!

Samantha Agdamag

Crosstown offers the best workouts in the city. All the trainers here are great and they encourage you to make the most out of your workout. And I also love how you can adjust your workouts according to your fitness level.

The Shooks Life

Crosstown is a great neighborhood studio to find your strength. I’ve done 8 workouts here and every one has tested me in new ways, always with sore muscles the next day - a good sign for a good variety of challenging workouts!

Kristina Uelsmann

I've completed 5 classes at CrossTown Fitness and have loved every single one. I was an Orange Theory member for 3 years, and was tired of the same exercises, routine, and was lacking a challenge. I appreciate how CrossTown keeps each class new and exciting and the opportunity to continually push yourself at each class. Also - love the idea of the 30 min mobility classes. If you are doing CrossTown everyday, a 30 minute stretching/yoga class is a perfect way to relax your muscles.

Anna Schmalfeldt

I love the classes at CTF! As a competitive runner I am always trying to find a balance of workouts that will compliment my cardio and protect me from injuries. These classes are challenging, fun, safe, and the atmosphere is so friendly and encouraging. I highly recommend.

Renessa Kristine

I had just signed up for ClassPass and needed to find an early Saturday morning class. This Total Body class with Dawn just worked out for my schedule which is how I ended up at CrossTown Fitness. From the outside the place looks as if it's a cafe with tables and chairs on the outdoor patio. When you walk in there is more seating, a smoothie bar, and healthy snacks available. Behind the counter is where there are treadmills, equipment and weights. Dawn made a point to introduce herself to me since it was my first time there. For this class she set up four stations and we cycled through each station once. Dawn is very friendly and gave a lot of encouragement during the workout to the entire class and by calling out individuals by name which is meaningful small touch. She also walked around to help correct form with individuals. Before I knew it class was over, I was drenched in sweat and exhausted. I was glad I was able to try TRX for the first time as well. The location isn't ideal for me, but I want to try more classes at CrossTown. The Best of CrossTown Fitness: -spacious facility -instructor engaged and very attentive -the variety of workouts makes class go by quickly

Kara Walker

Crosstown has been an amazing addition to my life! It's so convenient and flexible for working Moms trying to balance it all! Childcare for the morning classes is great, afternoon addition would be helpful at times. Love the easy of "just showing up" no thinking required to get in great work-outs throughout the week.

travis bluemling

The trainers are fantastic, the staff are friendly, and the community is welcoming. Classes work for all fitness levels and trainers provide great feedback/support! All around great place and I'd highly suggest folks to try it out.

Jeremiah Peralta

Experience at CrossTown has been top notch! Clean, bright space. Motivating, no nonsense coaches. And great class schedule and efficient use of time! Keep it up, CrossTown

Justin Collett

Excellent space! Excellent teachers and one hell of a good workout in a great environment!

Danielle Cimmarrusti

My husband and I did CTF in the West Loop for a month and loved it. The instructors are all awesome. Lots of class times. Saturdays get full quickly, but the weekday 5am class is always available. Even though there are only a couple "types" of classes, we thought the variety at each class was great and we learned a ton of new exercises. Things can get pretty crowded as classes transition from one to the next, but the studio is always clean. This location has childcare, not sure about the other locations. The only reason we didn't continue our membership (and 4 instead of 5 stars) was due to cost.

Hao Huan

Have taken five classes at the west loop location and each class has new stuff. Coaches are friendly and training is effective. Overall good exercise.

Sara Corcoran

I love the variety of the work outs and the energetic atmosphere. The instructors are all extremely welcoming and offer a lot of helpful tips in regards to proper technique and nutritional information. Highly recommend!

Natalia Quintanilla

I love working out at CrossTown ! Every class makes me feel challenged and very energized. The instructors are friendly and they do a great job keeping a good balance and mix of workouts. Highly recommended !

Carolyn Hazle

Extremely friendly and knowledgeable staff - I love this place. The workouts are challenging, but fun - and always different to keep it interesting. I would recommend this place to anyone trying to reach their fitness goals! 5 stars!

Ryan Corcoran

I couldn't describe a more perfect location and setup. The space is ideal for fitness classes and their equipment setup was just what I look for. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable.

Megan Anderson

Fun and invigorating...a new set of exercises every few minutes!

Anne Huntington

It is so fast paced and motivating! I never get bored, so it does not seem nearly as bad as it could! Everyone is so kind. The other people in the class as well as the employees. The trainers are always ready and willing to modify moves to help with some lower back problems I have.

Robert Johnson

I’ve been taking classes here for the past month, and I like it a lot. Great space, nice people, and good music. The trainers are very motivating. No class is the same and variety is great for the muscles. If your form is off, the coach will come by and let you know. They do a great job at preventing injury. I highly recommend CTF

John Hacker

First-rate trainers, excellent customer service, and a gorgeous facility that stays clean all the time. Plus the members here are awesome. Best gym in Chicago.

Joseph Foley

Clean facility, excellent trainers, non repetitive workouts, fun group setting, positive vibes, and challenging workouts are just a few of the reasons I continue to attend CTF

eric villarreal

I hit a slump, I retired from the military and my fitness schedule was all over the place... sometimes non existent. I experienced everything you can think of related to lack of fitness, sleep schedule was off, weight gain, moody and lack of flexibility. I attended the gym on one of their promotions for a few weeks and the feeling was amazing. I was sleeping away my soreness, getting excited for the classes and overall feeling great. The trainers are quick to help mid-class when your form is off, or give you a quick tip to help you go harder. My precious golf swing is back and doing well because the classes focus on a great variety of functional fitness. Feeling great mentally and physically because of CTF! Thanks! Eric V

Flavia Ramos

As a beginner, I was afraid I would get left behind and not get the full experience. My first class was with Shannon and she was so encouraging! She even showed me ways to modify certain exercises I wasn’t completely ready for. This way I still got the full experience, but at a more comfortable and safe way! All the other instructors have been the same. Love love love!!

Gin-Fu Chen

Great gym with great trainers. Community atmosphere.

Renee P

Quality workouts, great facility, camaraderie with other fit members creating an environment of healthy competition, skilled instructors, and great music!

Daswatta Daniela

This is one of the best workouts you’ll do all week! The classes are structured to focus on every part of your body and unlike other HITT style classes where the norm is to go through the motion to finish the set, CTF makes sure you are doing each motion with the correct form. Staff is incredibly friendly and the workouts leaving you tired and strong.

Grant & Anna Chamberlain

Community feel, attentive and humble trainers.

Annemarie Mogan

Super challenging classes, great music, lots of availability/variety in schedule - super happy with this place!

Najla Elwenni

Great trainers and workouts, positive vibe!

John Forde

Great classes that are challenging. Always different and constantly changing. You will definitely leave sore and tired.

Patricia Shin

I LOVE going to Crosstown. They push you to get a great workout but you're also free to go at your own pace for a lot of the things you do. Everyone is accepting and the trainers show you how to do the exercises so you're never confused. The 45 minute classes go by so fast and I feel like my metabolism keeps burning fat for days after one class. You get a good kind of sore like you accomplished something. Every class is something different and each of the trainers have their own style but I've loved every single one so far. Highly recommend.

Michael Cimmarrusti

I've loved my experience at Crosstown Fitness. The trainers there are extremely helpful and patient. They make sure to curate workouts that can be done by a wide variety of participants. The structure is easy to follow, and you get a ton of cardio in while building full body strength at the same time.

Milena Rumak

Everything about the CTF team and facilities makes me homesick. The only reason I'm still not there every morning is because I moved out of state. Steven and the folks who run the place behind the scenes... Are nothing but accomodating and supportive! No matter if it's just checking into a 5am class or a question via email, their responsiveness and positivity is radiating. They even helped me to come back easily on visits, to use my class package after my membership ended. All of the trainers I've had the chance to work with and grow from - Amy, Stacy, Kathryn, Alysha, Joey, Danny, Jess, Jenna and on are hands down the best collection of people I love working out with and being around. I made a strong commitment to myself, to work out with your crew diligently (usually 6am North Side), to start at 3 times a week with my body aching every day and move up to 5-6 days a week. You each helped me accomplish a consistent goal in my life (and feel so fantastic and confident) during a time when my life was pure chaos and challenge personally. When things were just crumbling on a diligent basis... You helped me understand why I deserved at least an hour a day to be better. To take control of some unforseen goal and deliver and push it. I cannot explain to you enough what your team and place have meant to me and what it impacted me to 'drive forward' in the rest of my life. Thank you over and over. Everyone should take a chance with you guys!! Cheers from the West coast, M PS Special hugs to the CTF Northside team and the Mitchell's who introduced me to the magic of CTF.

Maggie Smith

Crosstown classes are a great workout in less than an hour. The variety of each class and instructor keeps my workouts interesting. The group class schedule is great and anytime you would want is available.

Taylore Gray

Great place to get back into shape

Marco Radenkovich

A great atmosphere. Classes are challenging, the variety of workouts are wide, but there is no pressure to rush through any exercise.

Andrea Fernandez

The workout was tough and easy to follow. The instructor brought great energy and I liked the feel of the gym and class. It seemed like a community. Will definitely be back.

Andrew Zdunek

Fun and friendly place. Instructors know what they're doing and workouts are always a challenge. Highly recommended.

Monica Graff

After trying countless gyms and personal trainers, I have finally found a place I am excited to go to and get a solid workout every time. I love that all of the classes are different and all of the trainers have such energy. The motivation CTF trainers give is second to none!

Amanda Schutte

Whether its full body or strength, I always walk away extremely satisfied about my workout. The instructors are very approachable, encouraging and know what they're doing. The classes fly by and are always different from one another.

Liz Martin

I love all the classes at CTF, there is always a variety of movements, and I can see the results!

Celin Wittman

The gym was clean and the instructor was super motivating. The class could have been smaller, but otherwise I had a great time.

Umair Savani

Fantastic workout facility and trainers. Different workout everyday. Trainers make everyone feel welcome and excited. Feel great after finishing a workout at Crosstown

Meredith Roberts

Great gym. Clean. Instructors are friendly and always willing to share modifications. I’ve tried a lot of places in the area since moving using my classpass membership. Considering switching to just CTF for a membership.

Jack Forde

The classes are great. Please add back the 7:30 class on Tuesday nights or possibly other 7:30 times during the week.

Aalap Shah

CrossTown Fitness is an incredible gym in the heart of the west loop. The facility is great, on-site showers, and child-care too for my 3 year old. I've been fortunate to work with Betina for personal training and while the sessions are intense, I'm seeing results. The team at CrossTown is friendly, personable, and focused on your results.

Erin Nelson

Trainers are amazing

Agnes Schwietert

Great trainers. All levels welcome and should feel great to workout and get stronger here. Adjust your weights and reps to your level and you'll get the support you need to get stronger.

Rohit Puranik

Jeremy is a very involved trainer, great to work with. There were some overcharges due to a miscommunication and they got them corrected without any problems.

Kristen Youngman

I don't have a lot of time to work out so I need to make my workouts count. I know that every class at CrossTown will leave me feeling strong, energized and sore the next day like a good workout should. The teachers always keep the exercises different and fast-moving so I'm never bored - the workouts fly by!

Meredith Rosenbloom

Always a different challenge in every class!

Morganne Beard

High intensity workouts led by energetic and motivating trainers. Class is different and challenging every time. They also do a great job of starting and ending exactly on time including warm up and cool down. Stations and exercises are explained well so you can maximize your workout time.

Mitch LaCombe

I love CTF. All the trainers are amazing and always challenge me to be and do my best. They are always supportive and willing to help each of us individually meet our goals. I cannot say enough good things about this group of people and the community that they have created.

Phillip Salat

Today was my 460th CTF class and unfortunately my last as I am moving out of state. When I started here in January of 2015 I was overweight, lacked confidence, and couldn't even run 1 mile. Today I say good bye in the best shape of my life, down 65 lbs, and about to run the Chicago Marathon. I cannot thank the amazing trainers at CTF enough for what they have done for me. The way they scaled workouts for me in the beginning and challannged me at the end made all of the different. I would suggest CTF to anyone of any fitness level. I will truly miss these trainers and this community.

Carrie Zielinski

Very challenging workout and a little bit different than anything else I've done before. I thought I was in okay shape from doing yoga and barre classes but once I got to this class I realized that was not so much the case. The instructor was very positive and encouraging though and even sent me a note after the class which was nice! I will definitely be returning for more classes!

Gary K.

Amazing facility. The trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. They give tips during work out. I recommend this place. Thank you.

Ron Weeks

I have been to the W. Loop location about 5 times and always leave feeling challenged. Your first time can be a bit intimidating, but the instructors are always helpful with their explanations of each exercise and accomodate to all fitness levels. If you are looking to push your body to the max and see results, this is the class for you.

Whitney Holinka

Great workout and trainers!

Emily Griffith

This is hands-down my favorite workout in Chicago. I've been doing ClassPass for the past few months to get a feel for all the gyms in the city and mix up my workouts, but this has always been the #1 preferred class and one I come back to more than any other (even over Barry's Bootcamp and Shred). You can always count on an amazing workout that's totally scalable to your fitness level, and all the instructors take the time to ensure you have the proper form. It's also not over-the-top trendy or anything, just a really good QUALITY gym. If you go to these workouts 3-5 days a week, you're going to be in killer shape. The way they design the workouts also makes the class go really fast, and you are pushed but nothing ridiculous and psycho-seeming. It's such an enjoyable workout experience, I can't rave enough about it. Oh also you can put your order in for a protein smoothie before class, and they'll whip it up and have it ready for you when class is over! And they are yummmm

Kevin Brown

Great workouts and trainers who are very knowledgeable. High-intensity training at its best.

Katie Rogers

The facility is clean. The trainers are motivating. The other members are friendly. CTF offers a lot of social events so members can meet other members. And the best part.... no workout is the same so you will never get bored! Keep up the great work CTF!

Trenton Thenhaus

Great group training classes. High intensity

Theresa Coen

This place has it all with great full body classes, knowledgeable and fun instructors, food, coffee, child care, showers and outdoor patio for the summer! I love being a part of the CrossTown community :)

Maggie Wolff

Love this place! They offer hour-long high-intensity interval workouts all day long, 7 days per week. I love that every class is different, so you never get bored. They also use mostly basic equipment found at any gym, so you can learn new moves that you can replicate on your own. The instructors are also very high energy and definitely get your motivated, and are also happy to help you modify workouts during class if you let them know your limitations in advance (i.e., if you're recovering from an injury). I've also received great customer service from them when I was injured and some class credits expired. They also offer personal training sessions, I took one complimentary once which kicked my butt!!!

Aaron Werner

I have been coming to CTF for the last 3 months. I look forward to coming each and every day. The instructors are fantastic-very attentive and classes have not once been the same. Also, the newly renovated West Loop location is a major plus.

Laura Stanley

Definitely a challenging workout! The instructors are motivating and help correct form in some of the tougher movements. The classes go by quickly as well!
