Dropped in from out of town for a couple days and had a great experience! Will definitely return next time I’m in Chicago.

Crossfit CE has been great and I couldnt thank them enough for all the support during my fitness journey! What I really sets them apart is the attentiveness of the coaches and a strong crossfit community (the accountability was huge for me). Its my favorite place to get an intense workout in and Ive been to most gyms.

Spacious Gym, I always have access the machines and equipment I need. Quick and easy access to get a great workout session. I’m alway 5 feet away

This is my second CrossFit gym and so far it’s much better than my experience a few years ago. The coaches know what they are talking about and help you out in a friendly way. Everyone is on the same team and nobody at the gym is above themselves. The daily workouts are incredibly addicting and lean more towards strength training than cardio.Overall a great experience that I recommend to anyone wanting to stay fit and challenge yourself.

I started going to CrossFit a year ago, and I love it. Coaches always looking out for you, making sure you doing everything the property way. Always looking forward for the workout.

Coaches are great! They help you out a lot with your goals. Different from other boxes they really care. Very big space, lofty style. Best box in town! In the heart of West Town and you know west is the best! Highly recommendable!

My happy place :) From the owner (Neil) to all of the amazing, caring coaches, CrossFit CE has more than exceeded my expectations. I joined this amazing community almost 2 years ago and I can confidently say I am in the best shape of my life and have developed an amazing network of successful, hard working, ego-less members. If you are looking to get healthy and active, this is the place. Detailed, one-on-one coaching. Challenging WODs that will push you and make you stronger. Embracing and supportive community. Try their one-on-one fundamentals course and you wont be disappointed.

I was always hesitant about joining CrossFit because of the horror stories you hear about people getting hurt or injured. I joined CossFit CE in July 2020 and have absolutely loved it. The coaches are great (especially Dana) but that is the real reason I keep coming back. I have been to several CrossFit gyms around the states and this is hands down the best gym. Also, with the COVID-19 pandemic they keep everything clean and the classes are small, which keeps you safe and you have a coaches eye on you at all times. Also, I forgot to mention that I lost 20 pounds in two months! Thanks CrossFit CE!

Dana and Jose are awesome. Really enjoyed working out here. Great community. There are a variety of socials built in as well. Really cool and great people. Miss all of them. Moved out of Chicago. Wish I could go back and work out with these guys

Fantastic gym, incredible coaching staff - all of whom are knowledgeable, friendly and caring. My first ever CrossFit Gym and I love it. Workouts are structured and varied, following a sensible well thought-out progression over time, not just random and haphazardly selected.Good selection of equipment and not at all cramped. A really special community!

CrossFit CE is a life changer! Coaches are very supportive and knowledgeable. The community is absolutely awesome. Very welcoming and down to earth people. Name introductions are usually done at the beginning of classes so it’s easy to get to know people. There are also nutrition challenges and coaching. Competitions and Olympic lifting as well. It’s not just a place where you casually work out (which you can do if that’s what you want), but it’s an atmosphere that encourages you to change your life for the better and keep positive and hardworking athletes around.

CFCE is awesome! For someone who loathes working out, this is the only place that has motivated me to continue exercising. They are such a family and make lifting enjoyable. I receive excellent coaching that has really improved my technique and ability to lift more. Highly recommended!

Try it once and youll be hooked! coaches are awesome and the community has a family vibe.

Crossfit CE is an amazing gym, I have bounced around a few crossfit gyms, but this one is definitely one of the friendliest, most professional, and overall well rounded gyms anyone can ask for. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and have some of the most welcoming vibes. Overall, a great place for people who are either new to crossfit, or seeking to find a new place to call their box.

I have been going to CE for +3 yrs and have nothing but positive reviews! CE is a friendly, welcoming and family-like environment. The coaching is superb. I would highly recommend CE to anyone in the Chicago area!

Ive been a member of the CE community for 3.5 years and cant say enough good things. The coaches are awesome and really care about me as a person and athlete. The community is very welcoming and supportive. Class sizes are small and the workouts are challenging. I would recommend CE to anyone looking to step up their fitness game.

Great time to join keep in mental shape as well physical.staff really wants the best from you. There here to support all needs to gain your best goal.

When I moved to Chicago a few years ago, it was very important for me to find a CrossFit box that provided me with a place to both achieve my fitness goals, but also could serve as a community as a new person to the city. CrossFit CE has been a perfect place for both of those goals. It has allowed me to get great workouts while forming some great friendships as well. the class times are great for a variety of schedules and provide a good variety for all fitness levels.

Ive been with CrossFit CE for a year and a half now and all I can say is I wish I would have given CrossFit a chance sooner! The coaches at CrossFit CE make this style of work very accessible and I truly appreciate that a fundamentals training is not only offered, but required before you can dive in. I love that people actually talk to each other at this gym, and even socialize outside of class time! Its a great community and creates an environment of support. My physical strength has improved dramatically since Ive joined and I think its fair to say that Im now addicted to CrossFit! I would highly recommend coming in and checking out a class sometime. If youre not into barbell work, BURN is a great fit for those looking for a good mix of cardio and strength training! Its a friendly bunch, always welcoming of new faces, which makes newbies feel comfy trying it out AND coming back!

I am so grateful that CrossFit CE was recommended to me. Having recently moved to Chicago I wanted to find a community and place to get stronger. CrossFit CE is all that and more. Trust me...I visited lots of places and you won’t find a spot more encouraging. What I appreciate the most is the smart coaching for someone like me who has physical limitations due to an injury and the enthusiasm of the fellow members. Highly recommend you stop by if you are looking for something more than a gym.

I have been a consistent CE member for 18 months now and continue to be impressed with the community that has been built in this gym. When I joined I had no background in Olympic lifting or Crossfit and felt welcome from my first class onward. The coaching is top notch and caters to all ability levels and the programming is always evolving.

I joined CrossFit CE a few months ago after moving from Ireland, where I was at another gym. CrossFit CE has surpassed my expectations with enjoyable, challenging workouts and a positive, encouraging community. Compared to my old gym, cardio work is integrated much more into the workouts at CrossFit CE, which has definitely helped to elevate my level of fitness and performance.

I have been coming to CrossFit CE for the last 2 years.. I absolutely love this place and the community.This place has become home.Coaches and the Family friendly environment are great!!

Ive tried out several CrossFit gyms, most of which I left because there was no coaching on form or assistance with scaling options.As soon as I walked into CrossFit CE I immediately felt comfortable. You go through 3 one on one sessions with coaches where you go through the movements, address your form and the basics of CrossFit. At other gyms, being a newbie, youre thrown right into it which has a higher probability of injury.Ill be here until Im too old to CrossFit. Come join the fam!!

Coaches, work out, workout partners and the vibe is awesome!

Crossfit CE is great! The instructors are really attentive, and they make a big effort to make everyone feel comfortable, no matter their fitness level. Always a great workout.

Best gym Ive ever belonged to! Great family community and the coaches have helped me make some serious fitness gains!

Switch to Crossfit CE around 4 months ago when I moved to Wicker Park and I absolutely love it! Classes are small, personable, and coaches give great feedback for improvement.

This is the best gym I’ve ever been to! Great community with great coaches.

Been coming to Crossfit CE since the beginning. Couldn’t ask for better coaches with knowledge and experience. Community is a big part of CE. From beginners to experts, all are welcomed.

Very supportive, team-oriented environment, and not at all intimidating (despite how it may look from the outdoors!). The coaches are attentive and always available for questions.

Ive been at CrossFit CE for six years this coming May, which says much as to the overall environment, fellow workout buddies, and the coaches--in other words, I love it; otherwise, I never would have lasted so long.

Excellent experience while on vacation in Chicago. Very warm and welcoming! We’ll absolutely drop in again if we are in town! Thanks!!!!

Excellent and motivational coaches! Really helpful. Thank you.

I enrolled into the introduction program through Groupon. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, community, and coaches. Coaches are very detailed and knowledgeable which helps maximize each workout. Every daily workout is different so it never gets boring. The coaches also plan out of gym activities like paddle boarding and runs to keep it fun and interesting.

One of the best decisions I have ever made was joining Crossfit CE. From my first day there, I knew there was something special about this particular community. I had given other Crossfit communities a try on my fitness journey but it wasn’t until I came across Crossfit CE that I finally felt at home. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable and approachable. From my first day there, they gave me the confidence to really execute the movements and constantly push myself to be better and do better. Besides being in the best shape I have ever been in, I have also made so many great friends. Yes, we all there to work out, get in shape, make progress on our own fitness journey but it helps to do that among a community of people who feel more like family than strangers you just run into at a gym. I never thought that I could find a gym that I look forward going to everyday and that is exactly what I found at CE.

I joined CrossFit CE two years ago and have been hooked ever since! I used to bounce around from various workout studios, but I stuck with this gym in particular because the coaches are knowledgeable, the workouts are challenging and the community has become a second family to me.

This was my first time doing a CrossFit workout and I had a blast. Holly (full disclosure: one of my good friends) and Neil are fantastic instructors who push their clients but who also always kept it friendly. Holly and Neil also were particularly encouraging given my relative inexperience with the CrossFit method of doing things. Other people there for the first time felt similarly supported and motivated.The CrossFit CE space is great, and it has has all the equipment necessary to get in a really tough, rewarding workout. The location in the city is really convenient for those living in West Loop, Ukrainian Village, or Wicker Park.The setup, space, and equipment are all great at CrossFit CE. But, again, I cant emphasize enough how welcoming, encouraging, and awesome both Neil and Holly were not only to me, but also to everyone else who came to the workout. Great place, even better people running it!

This is my 3rd year at Crossfit CE. Not only have I learned new skills in terms of overall fitness (muscle ups, hspu, handstand walk), I truly believe that being a member of this community has made me a better person. Highly recommend for anyone that is interested in fitness, community, and a hint of competitiveness baked into everyday fitness.

This has to be the best CrossFit box Ive ever been to. Holly and Neil are extremely knowledgeable and avoid the typical CrossFit stigma by providing top notch coaching and have developed a welcoming community atmosphere. Customer for life.

Excellent place for CrossFit. Great environment and coaches!

Excellent gym for the price, never too crowded, employees seem very helpful and its clean!

Great instructors, great group of members, CE is my fitness community 4 life!

I work in the club industry and have wanted to join a box for a long time. Ive been a member of 5-6 other clubs in Chicago over the years. This establishment is as professional and well run as Ive seen in the greater club industry. Neil and Dana really know what theyre talking about and are excellent in communicating how to perform movements with perfect form. I couldnt believe how much stronger I felt 100x stronger after just 1 class. If you want to be more mentally sharp at work and have more energy, I highly recommend you join Crossfit CE.

I went to CrossFit CE last Saturday for the first time and fell in the love with the place. The facility is great and the coaches are even better! Its clear Holly and Neal know what theyre doing and are so passionate about it that you cant help but get excited and have a blast while youre there. Having recently moved from San Francisco where I belonged to one of the largest CrossFit gyms, its so refreshing to have coaches who clearly understand fitness and give each and every person the attention they need to become the best athlete they can be! Ill be joining CrossFit CE.

Great community! Knowledgeable Coaches! Family friendly!!!

I joined Crossfit CE about 2 months after starting Crossfit when my prior Crossfit box went out of business. I had been pretty intimidated getting started at my last box, but the atmosphere at Crossfit CE is super welcoming and encouraging, which was something I could tell from my first class there. That atmosphere extends from the coaches to your fellow gym-goers, both of which contribute equally to the atmosphere. Ive both lost weight and gotten significantly stronger since I started two years ago, when I barely had any idea what I was doing. They also let you go at your own pace and adapt to your fitness goals. Not everyone has the end goal of competing in the Crossfit Games. For some, its just living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining so you can indulge in beers on the weekend without feeling guilty. The coaches at Crossfit CE understand that and find the right balance in helping you be a better version of yourself.

This gym has everything you need and more to get the best workouts of your life. More importantly, the coaches consistently bring a level of positive enthusiasm that is contagious to anyone who works out there. I love CrossFit CE!

CrossFit CE was a great location for a beginner CrossFit athlete and college athlete to mix cardio and lifting! The facility is awesome and really coming together, when the second floor is complete it will be the perfect area for more sprinting work! The class was very fun and energetic for all levels. Holly is amazing, and as a college athlete she knows so much, is super encouraging, and helpful! I would recommend anyone to go in for a first class or a veteran CrossFit athlete, great overall atmosphere!

By far is the best gym on the west town Chicago

Let me tell you something that no one else will have the guts to tell you. REAL RESULTS COME FROM HARD WORK. Not from groundbreaking fitness products or a special machine or some weird green juice with two scoops of organic kale and soy milk. REAL RESULTS COME FROM THE BLOOD, SWEAT, AND TEARS YOUR SHED ON THE FIELD.That moment when youre exhausted from doing that WOD and your mind, body, and soul is about to give up and crumble to the ground into oblivion. Then out of nowhere, you hear this voice in your head and you look up and your badass CrossFit instructor says you can definitely push out more reps. All of a sudden youre feeling like hell yeah I can push out more reps, go for a 6-mile run, and climb Mt. Everest.This is what I love about Crossfit CE. I have never come across such a supportive community with an equally supportive staff. The amount of encouragement and hype from your peers is immeasurable. This place showed me my strengths and exposed the weaknesses that I need to improve on. The amount of knowledge and experience that Neil and Holly bring to this wonderful establishment absolutely amazes me. I am so glad I walked past this place, I literally cannot wait to see my results in the next couple of months.To whoever is reading this, someone once told that with ordinary talent and extraordinary perseverance, all things are attainable. Take the chance and do something outside of your comfort zone. I promise you that youll have an experienced staff and a supportive community that will be with you every step of the way.Rah!!

Love it here. Everyone is super friendly and the coaches are very helpful.

Neil and Holly run a great program here where they really break down every workout you do in Crossfit. The gym has a great spirit where its very clear it is a community; I felt welcome at CE the first time I ever tried it.

Crazy helpful and knowledgeable staff combined with an incredibly supportive group of members makes this one of the best and most effective gyms Ive ever been a member of. Cant stress enough the impact of the workouts and how much fun I have with this crew.

CrossFit is the closest athletic experience Ive had since college sports. It makes your workout routine at the gym obsolete. Ive experience a lot of CrossFits across the country and CrossFit CE is outstanding in every regard. There is a boxing ring in the middle too which was super legit. They even let us spar for fun.The classes are awesome and Coach Holly is the best. Shes a D1 athlete, ensures everyone (from novices to experts) is using good form, and most importantly makes everything really fun. If you live/work in this area and are wondering what CrossFit is all about or simply want to get results from your workout, you definitely need to check out CrossFit Competitive Edge.

Really good crossfit gym. Excellent coaches who pay attention and give great instruction/motivation. Seriously whips you into shape too!

I joined this facility with zero knowledge of Crossfit. The staff have been very helpful and insightful on techniques and exercises. They make it easy for ANYONE to join and start crossfit! I highly recommend this establishment to anyone who is curious about crossfit and is looking to join a supportive community.

Incredible coaches and an incredible community!!

Joined them for Murph a couple times and did a few additional wods there. A great environment overall, excellent facility to help you achieve your goals and a great location.

Great coaching and great community

Only had a chance to go a few times before I moved from Chicago, but I loved everything about CrossFit CE. The staff was super supportive and made sure everyone was comfortable with the WOD. After playing sports through college, it was tough finding somewhere that I both enjoyed and challenged me, but CrossFit CE did it every time!

Great community and workouts!

This is the second crossfit gym Ive been a part of, and while I fell in love with crossfit at my first gym, the community and coaches here are what set CrossFit CE apart. Some gyms are very intimidating as a newbie, but this is a gym for all fitness levels. Youre in good hands with the coaches here and plenty of support from the other members.

Great program for kids.

As a someone that usually picks a spin class over heavier lifting, I was worried the workout wouldn’t meet my cardio desires and boy was I wrong. The workout was the perfect mix of weighted movements mixed with cardio bursts and bodyweight challenges. I was drenched with sweat by the end and completely exhilarated. Holly and Neil are exceptional coaches. They were motivating, corrected my form when needed, answered all my questions and created an atmosphere that was fun.If you are looking for a fantastic workout that flies by, CrossFitCE is the place to go.

The group of people is friendly. The coaches are knowledgeable and very helpful. The box is clean, organized, and the equipment is in the right condition. What I like the MOST is the workouts, Because Those enjoyable, intense, and are effective. I feel happy with my self every time I complete my workout.The staff is very friendly. Coaches are professional, educational, and attentive staff. The box is clean, organized and the equipment is in good condition. What I like best are training because they are dynamic, intense and effective. I feel satisfied whenever full training day.
