I started CrossFit at this gym about a year and a half ago and it has been such a great experience. Justin is an exceptional coach and has been the best teacher you could ask for. The community in this gym is also wonderful, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. If you’re ever in the area, stop in, you absolutely won’t regret it.

I was in town for a conference and dropped in twice. I was able to experience coaching from two of the three owners, Justin and Mucia. Both were incredibly welcoming and clearly very passionate about training. The programming was excellent and the facility is enormous and clean with all of the equipment that you would want and hope for in a CrossFit gym. I would absolutely come back if I find myself in the area again.

Gym that gives you the ultimate freedom. Want to workout at 2am, you got it. Open on all holidays. Just use your key fob to get in and workout.

I can't say enough good things about CrossFit Rise. This place has been my home away from home for over 6 years now. It's been part of my life during big changes...starting out my career, getting married, the pandemic, a pregnancy, and now postpartum. Through all these changes, CrossFit Rise has consistently been a place full of people who lift me up, encourage me, educate me, and make working out fun. I've been doing the early morning class for a few years now and my friends/coworkers think it's crazy I get up that early to attend class, but it's the best part of my day! The people I get to workout alongside are kind and encouraging, while having a level of friendly competition (specifically my husband ). I worked out safely and healthily throughout my entire pregnancy. I was able to have a healthy and natural birth and now I've returned to the gym with my son alongside me to watch his mom get strong! Justin is an amazing coach who can modify any movement or workout for any needs. I felt like I was still able to enjoy challenging workouts during my pregnancy because of him! He's now there to remind me to be safe as I rebuild my strength postpartum. Karah is the most amazing person at supporting moms through new seasons of their lives, especially on days when workouts feel a little harder. I'm not sure what I'd do without this place! HIGHLY recommend.

There is a video on their Instagram of a middle aged woman doing a deadlift incorrectly where she will most likely result in an injury.This review is long but will be worth the read. I want to start off with this- If you believe in yourself that you'll make it in this sport, keep believing in yourself and have a support system that will believe in you when you have those moments of wanting to give up.Here was my experience:Two years ago, I found this gym after searching within the Chicago suburbs area. I found it appealing because Justin is a Veteran and a Navy Seal. At that time I was transitioning out of the Marine Corps. I decided to email this gym asking if they were looking for coaches as I was going to test for my cert the following weekend. I received a reply to come in and meet with them. I have been a part of two boxes in Peoria, IL which I loved the atmosphere and the overall concept of Crossfit. I get that they hire coaches that they know and trust which all gyms should do. After Justin had explained that to me, I was telling him about myself and the usual small talk. I had mentioned I was going to try and make it into the Games. He kind of had this smirk on his face, chuckled, and said, "it's more likely for someone to make it into the NBA than into the Games. (definitely that short man energy tone)" I didn't think twice about it and just brushed it off. After that conversation, there was tension in the room and he begins to mention that the meeting was not an invite to train at his gym for free. I was not looking for any handouts or free memberships as I have always paid any gym I became a member of. As I got into my car, I processed what he said about getting into the games. That may be true but he had no idea what kind of potential I had. Could you imagine if a coach said that to any athlete that made it into the games? Some probably would have never started their CrossFit career. I will end with this. That was two years ago and I have replayed him saying that to me like it was yesterday. Today, I broke 3 state records with my coach that wholeheartedly believes that I can make it to the top. My current coach has said to me, "People don't give up because they doubt themselves. People give up because they let people who doubt them get in their heads." That's when Justin popped up in my head. Justin is the owner and director of training. Remember this, character will always reflect their leadership. Leadership is the foundation of any coach. Justin, I wasn't asking for anything in return and just answered your "interview" questions and wanted to get to know the gym I was looking forward to becoming a member of. However, you are a veteran. I had told you my story and did not ask for any freebies or anything along those lines. Another veteran needed you and you weren't there. Shame on you.Also, I did meet Mucia. She was professional and normal. This one star is purely for her.
