Im just jumping back into this gym after a two year hiatus and it feels like Ive not missed a beat. Regardless of your thoughts on CrossFit, this is a wonderful place to find community and get healthy. This fantastic and patient staff are passionate about helping us get stronger, safely.

Great neighborhood gym. No frills, but it does have all the equipment you need to do any workout you can think up. The personal trainers are knowledgeable and have helped me be better than I ever could on my own.

EAD gives you a true sense of community. Athletes of all levels pushing and supporting each other to achieve personal fitness goals.The coaches are knowledgeable, friendly, and encouraging - and a big reason for me to continually attend classes. I truly appreciate the education and feedback on proper body mechanics for various movements and lifts completed in each class.

I have been an athlete at EAD for three years, and it has been the best decision I made to join and train with this truly amazing group of people. The coaching staff is friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable. I love coming here!

EAD consistently goes above and beyond for their members - providing professional training for all levels. Coaches and athletes practically become a part of the family. I am in the best shape Ive been in since college thanks to their excellent coaching.

The staff is wonderful and know exactly what they are talking about. Its the best box around! The support of others new and old is what pushes me to continue to do my best

Great box gym for CrossFit. Coaching staff cares and watched out for all the athletes. The community of athletes is wonderful. Everyone is welcoming and pulled for each other.

This place is amazing. Great owners, great coaches, excellent programming. My wife and I both have seen excellent results from going here.

The staff at this gym is so pleasant and helpful! The facility is ever clean and the classes are so convenient.

Ive been training here for 4 years and love it! The community is warm & welcoming to new members.

The coaches take their time with you to refine proper techniques and support you in achieving your goals. Just as important is the support and comaraderie the EAD community provides. EAD offers the physical challenges I need, at my ability level, and provides the support I need to achieve my health, physical, and nutritional goals.

I have to admit that I was very nervous when my son presented me with a gift certificate for EAD for my birthday in January. After all, I was out of shape, had had a knee replacement 2 years prior and wast sure what Id be able to do or if Id be able to keep up. After the first class, I was more at ease, but still a little anxious about performance as I was not fit enough to do most of the exercises properly but I did give valiant effort. Ive been attending twice a week since February and now I can keep up! I am able to perform things like sit -ups (was able to do 1 the first day) like a champ! My strength is improving, my body is toning, my endurance is improving. Thanks to the coaches, the exercises that are restricted for anyone with a total joint replacement were modified for me. I feel right at home. Thank you EAD for changing my life!

This is a great gym, with knowledgeable coaches and a welcoming atmosphere. I joined in EAD with 1.5 years of CrossFit experience in June of 2016 after relocating from the city. I was impressed by this gym as it is one of the original CrossFit gyms in Chicagoland and the people are so friendly. I would recommend EAD to anyone looking for a good box in the Northwest Suburbs. There are a good mix of all levels of CrossFitters at this gym so it is not intimidating for first timers!

I started riding the Computrainer at EAD in 2007. I wanted to race bikes. I have since graduated to Olympic strength training and now have two Il State Championships in my age group racing Cyclocross. Go to EAD.

These are good people with a great product, doing good work for the right reasons. I need to get back in it!!!!

Facility was clean and bright. The equipment was well maintained. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I’ll be back.
