Absolutely love this gym! The class structure is engaging and challenging, but not intimidating. Very welcoming environment for all, whether youre just jumping into a work out routine, or youre a regular gym-goer. The staff is AWESOME - friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to help you succeed. Shout out to Ari for always going above and beyond to help members and answer questions. Highly recommend this gym, and the Halsted location specifically!

Great place for workout classes! Ari is very helpful and always helps out whenever I have questions about my membership.

Signed up for a trial and fell in love. The classes are always challenging and fun, with a lot of different exercises. I would definitely encourage everyone to try them out.

The classes, instructors, and vibe are great! Love the Total Body and Total Body Strength classes.. always leave feeling exhausted in the best possible way.

The trainer Jovana is an absolute delight! I was very nervous to work out at this intensity and intimidated about a new experience at a new fitness facility and she made me feel so comfortable! She saw me attempting modifications to some exercises and came over and showed me a way to challenge myself just a BIT more with better form. Ive had similar great experiences with all members of the staff! Everyone involved here is very passionate about what they do, and that energetic enthusiastic atmosphere is palpable!

Caullen is a great instructor and took time to help me out and correct posture. I appreciate that attention at those fast paced classes where things can often be missed. I burned almost 500 calories in under 1 hour, it was great!!

Ive truly enjoyed the level of professionalism demonstrated here as it relates to fitness and training. A CLEAN, encouraging environment, where you will push yourself in ways you didnt know you could, the best way! I look forward to many more workouts here. Not to mention, the variety and not knowing the exact workout, keeps you engaged, on your toes, and helps time pass quickly!

The staff is welcoming and the facility is kept in great condition. The coaches are incredible and always deliver challenging yet rewarding workouts!

My favorite gym in Chicago! All of the trainers are excellent and push you to get the best workout in. Easy to pick-up for a beginner who hasn’t worked out in awhile too. They spend their time making sure you understand the workout and are doing it correctly. A++!!

Great workouts from motivational, and knowledgeable trainers. All the studio staff are also helpful and wonderful.

These classes are a perfect alternative to CrossFit- with less intense lifting and more cardio built in. All around great workout!

Ive been very pleased with my first three classes at CTF! ... and, Im looking forward to more! Ive been impressed with the professionalism and genuine interest from the studio employees and the level of fitness from the instructors. I have found the classes to be challenging, but not intimidating -- the perfect recipe to help me get back to my pre-COVID norm. Thanks for all you do!

Classes are designed to focus on total body with strength training and some cardio in between. Also like that the Coaches pay attention to the form.

Amazing workout class — you will get a fully body, HIIT workout. They do a great job meeting guidelines around COVID & the class still runs smoothly.

This gym operates with bad business practices. Membership was cancelled months ago, almost 8 months. Yet they randomly charge membership fees months later after it is cancelled and has not been charged. Be careful, if you sign up they may try to take your money forever and claim that they can do nothing about charges.

The workout challenges you but you also can set your own pace as you get used to it but you leave feeling good about what you just accomplished and the results come fast! Coaches are professional and help you if you need! :)

Just getting to know the CrossTown Fitness community and can say that so far Im impressed. The work outs are tough, but can be adjusted for a variety of fitness levels. The instructors are available throughout the class and very helpful. I totally messed up in one of the circuits and the instructor noticed and helped get me on track. The members in my group were also encouraging during the work out. Im excited to get to know this community better!

I started attending classes about two weeks ago and I am sold. The classes are so energetic, the instructors are knowledgeable and the workouts are never exactly the same. What I enjoy the most is the diversity of individuals in the class. Whether you are a beginning or a pro, you will feel comfortable and supported by both the instructor and your peers during the workout. I purchased a 30-day Groupon, but I plan to continue working out at crosstown. What a wonderful community- highly recommend!

Great gym and stuff. Highly recommended.

Amazing classes and instructors! I love the daily variety of exercises that continuously keeps me on my toes. The instructors are caring, informative, and never make you feel intimidated because of your limitations. Steven at check-in is an added bonus, he quickly knows most people by name and he is extremely friendly and accommodating.

Amazing! Classes are very dynamic. I honestly enjoy exercising in CTF. Staff is very friendly. Good combination of cardio and strength. Love it!

Completely impressed with the Lakeview location of CrossTown fitness! I am new to Chicago and was excited to enjoy some of the great fitness options in the city. I happened upon CrossTown fitness and have enjoyed every class so far. The facilities are always clean and the staff and trainers are very friendly and helpful. Ive not found many gyms to be so welcoming to newcomers.

Great trainers and staff, very energetic! Challenging workouts, but the trainers are very accommodating and suggest modifications whenever required.

Really friendly and helpful staff and coaches! The workouts are great.

I got a month trial membership of this gym and I’m not going to lie, I want to extend it! This place is absolutely amazing. The workouts are always different and challenging. The trainers are accommodating and also very helpful. They go around correcting form and making sure everyone understands the workouts. I definitely recommend this gym to everyone looking for a challenging HIIT workout!

Love this place! Im happy that a gym like this opened in Roscoe Village. It makes it very convenient to attend before and after work.The classes are always very high-energy, challenging, and well-organized, too, which keeps me coming back :)

The workouts are pretty intense but Im glad to have the opportunity to work out close to my old neighborhood. I also like how the trainers and staff are super friendly and helpful.

I love this gym. The workouts are always different, the coaches are friendly and I’ve seen great results. It’s my calm at the end of the day because I’m able to relieve stress and have a nice hour where I can’t think about anything. Very happy I signed up and joined the community.

This is one of the best gym experiences I’ve had in Chicago. The classes are amazing, the instructors are great. The workouts can be pretty intense but it’s also acceptable to go at your own pace, which I love. The facilities are always very clean as well, which is great. 10/10 would recommend

This is such a great workout! Love how much each class differs. I never get bored of the workouts and always feel challenged. It is a great way to incorporate more strength training into your routine and never feels intimidating. It is about 40 minutes of an intense HIIT workout with a short warmup before and optional stretching after. I recommend this place to everyone!

One of my favorite workout facilities in Chicago. The instructors always put together a new workout and the music is great. I strongly recommend this for people of all ages and exercise abilities.

CTF lakeview is addicting! Love how challenging the classes are and how helpful and energetic the staff is!

If I lived closer to a CTF, I would gladly adjust my budget to make this gym my home gym. I love the coaches and the gym. its such a good workout and a great community. The coaches reach out to you personally after every workout, which makes me feel special. If you ever open a Logan location, Im joining in a heartbeat!

Great place with very professional and knowledgeable trainers. They will push you hard and you’ll be thankful for it. Love it.

I love CTF! The 5am classes are perfect for my busy schedule and all the instructors are great. They are attentive and help guide me to make sure I am doing the exercises correctly to avoid injury. Every class is different (and not a lot of burpees!!) and they encourage you to push yourself (safely!!) to make the most of class. Steven is great, is quick to respond with any questions or concerns regarding membership and its many perks.

I just recently started coming to crosstown fitness and I absolutely love it. The instructors are excellent motivator and really encourage me to give it my all. I look forward to every class.

Crosstown is the best! Great instructors and awesome music. I love that I never know what to expect at each class. It’s a must try!

Love CTF! Every workout is different, and you never know what to expect! Great energy and so welcoming to all levels of fitness.

I have been looking for a challenging and scalable full body HIIT studio in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area since moving north from downtown. CrossTown has been so amazing. The classes are tough, but exercises can be easily modified to match your strength. The instructors and facilities are also 10/10 too.

This is a great gym with great culture from top down. The front desk staff treats you like they have known you forever. The workouts are also spot on -- I always come out feeling great. The workouts are diverse so you will hit all muscle groups multiple times a week.

Great workout! The instructors are very attentive, detailed, and give you a fantastic full body session. It is one of my favorite gyms in the city. I highly recommend if you want to get your butt kicked (in a good way obviously).

Great group classes!

Without a doubt, the best lifting gym in the city. No frills. Great equipment and great staff

CTF is great Gym! Very challenging and fun at the same time. The instructors are wonderful and the gym is very clean. Class schedule is great!

Getting started working out again after some injuries and this has been a great experience allowing me to adapt the exercises to meet my needs and the trainers are really attentive to those of us with special needs! Plus it is fun and moves fast so you dont get bored, before you know it, the work out is over. And everyone here is really nice from the trainers to the fellow students.

Im hooked. Im a runner first, but have found adding a weekly CrossTown fitness class to my routine has improved my race performance, fitness, and physique. The offer a great balance of upper body, lower body, and core, and the variety keeps them enjoyable and challenging. Caullen Hudson in particular also does an excellent job of keeping everyone in good form and making sure we get the most out of the workouts. Love the soundtrack too.

Love this place! Definitely a killer workout but its constantly moving so youre never bored. Love how everything rotates - super positive and encouraging environment. Would recommend to people of all fitness levels (looking to get their butt kicked!)

I was so nervous before my first class, but the staff and teacher were so welcoming and helpful. I’ve gone 7 times in my first two weeks, and I definitely feel a difference in my body. I love how the workouts change every class, and now I’ve gotten to the point where I’m excited before each class. Highly recommend!

I absolutely love this gym! I joined with Groupon and then stayed and got a membership! I always leave feeling very positive! There are also many classes so its great with my busy schedule!

Did a few trial classes and really liked it. Definitely different from any other class I have done in the past. I love how they switch it up and every class is different. Recently signed up full time and could not be happier with that decision.

I have been loving CTF! I’ve always enjoyed a good workout, but these classes really push me to work my hardest. I have a knee issue and the instructors are great about providing me exercise modifications. I’m only 5 classes in, but have already seen a change which prompted me to sign up for the unlimited pass. Give it a shot, you’ll love it!

Love it!

Couldnt recommend this place more! I felt comfortable immediately. It is an amazing atmosphere and you really get a great work out every time you go. The workouts are different each time, so it goes by quickly and you never get bored.

Great workout! The instructors are very attentive, detailed, and give you a fantastic full body session. It is one of my favorite gyms in the city. I highly recommend if you want to get your butt kicked (in a good way obviously).

This gym does a great job of pushing you outside your comfort zone with new moves, all sectioned in various stations. I love that its different every time, and the variety of moves/timing/sets/repetitions makes the class go by so quickly. The instructors are knowledgeable and great at correcting form in a polite way. My only issue is that I do feel its catered more to an experienced person when it comes to fitness. I sometimes have a hard time on some of the equipment specifically, like pull-ups with bands or various kettle bell moves that might feel awkward at first. They do show modifications, which is helpful. And its great to be pushed past your current level, just more something to note if you are a beginner or not as experienced on an array of equipment and props.

Are you looking to get in shape or are you looking to get in better shape? If you are the former, like me, this place is not for you. I signed up for a 2 week trial and have been to four sessions so far. I have never felt more out of place and out of my league.This place is for younger people who are already in shape and looking to improve. The instructors briefly demonstrate the exercises and then spend most of the session keeping time. They dont offer alternative exercises if you struggle with whats scheduled. They barely check to see if you know proper form. I am middle aged and overweight and trying to improve myself. This studio makes me feel even worse about my fitness because I cant keep up with everyone else and they dont make any effort to make new people feel welcome and supported.If you are younger and in good shape, this place will push you to new levels. Youll get a great workout.Avoid Saturday morning. They overbook the classes. The one I went to had over 35 people working out in a very tight space.

CTF is my favorite workout studio in Chicago! Every instructor always puts together a great workout and has a good mix of cardio and strength. The classes utilize a variety of equipment to give you a well-rounded workout. I’ve noticed a big difference in my strength after going to CTF over the last few weeks and always look forward to doing a class here!

Such a great workout and experience! Everyone here is nice, welcoming and makes for a fun and motivating workout!

Have been going to CrossTown Fitness for a month now and am enjoying it very much. Great variety of exercises and always challenging yet instructors make it motivating. Would encourage others to check it out.

Crosstown fitness has helped me so much in strength and endurance. Their trainers ensure that they know their clients well! I love coming here.

All of the trainers are so friendly, knowledgeable, and great at motivating me in class. I leave each workout feeling challenged and energized!

I love CTF it’s one of the best workouts. Great energy and great staff, and the facilities are always super clean too. It’s one of those workouts that makes you want to come back unlike other gyms.

I LOVE this studio! All of the trainers are amazing. I have never felt more in shape or been pushed harder in the right way. Every class is different and every instructor is different too, awesome variety. I am joining this studio. Best workout in Chicago!

Crosstown fitness I did on a slight whim. I knew I wanted to get in better shape for a big trip coming up, but didnt know how much Id like it. I really loved it. The instructors are both kind and patient. Ive asked how to deadlift maybe 7x and they always patiently explain it. Really glad this place exists.

Omg I love this gym! I attend classes at the West Loop location. The instructors are awesome and the work outs really push u.

Absolutely love Crosstown Northside! Every workout is challenging but can be scaled to any fitness level and ability. I like that most of the workouts are anchored around variations of functional movements, so you can track your progress and feel encouraged to pick up heavier weights over time. Trainers are highly knowledgeable, attentive to form, and motivating!

The classes are fun, challenging, and different every single day. The trainers all do a great job moving you through routines and offering variations of movements that fit your fitness level and goals. I always feel amazing after I leave this place.

Great gym with a variety of exercises. The trainers are super friendly and helpful. You don’t have to be a size 2 to go here. While there are a ton of fit people that go here there is an exercise for everyone’s level and no one makes you feel out of place! Been going for over a year now!

Love going to CTF! If you go consistently you will see results quickly. What I love about it is that they really allow you to go at your own pace, but are really great at encouraging you to push yourself. Stephanie and Liu are my two favorite coaches. They play the best music and they are also really great motivators. I definitely get the best workout in their classes because they make me want to challenge myself.

Amazing classes for anyone looking to get the most out of your workout. Each instructor takes pride in their work and offers a fast paced class that keeps you working without realizing 45 minutes has passed. A must try for fitness enthusiasts and people looking for a change of pace

I love crosstown fitness. I have always been self conscious about working out alone so I joined this gym because I love the motivation from the teachers and my peers in the classes.

Been taking classes at CrossTown Fitness for a week or so (I found it through ClassPass) and theyre awesome! Learn how to use lots of different equipment and exercises with friendly and knowledgeable trainers. Good for all levels - just choose the weight thats right for you. Go check it out!

Love this studio!!!! the space is so clean, the staff is so friendly, and the workouts are always dynamic and challenging. i’m hooked - got my unlimited membership locked and loaded!!

CTF trainers are phenomenal! They are creative, strategic and methodical, and I put all my trust in them to help me develop my body. I love that I don’t need to go to the gym and think of what I need to do, or what equipment to use. I just show up and follow instructions; CTF saves me a lot of time that way! I used to be at the gym working out for 60 minutes or more, now I get it done in 35-40 active minutes. For a busy professional, it is perfect. Also when I’m on the road, there is CTF on the Move that I utilize via YouTube. Oh and it’s definitely worthwhile to mention that I am never bored. The circuits are always different and creative. I really enjoy going to classes, and I definitely see results!

Love CTF! The trainers are great and every workout is new and different, and always a challenge. The HIIT style workout makes it go by really quickly but I always leave feeling like I got a great workout.

My favorite workout class in the city! All the trainers are so positive and motivating, only gym that I enjoy going too 5 days a week! Im hooked! Love CTF!!

This place is great and worth the money. Liu’s Classes are why I go. Super challenging for all skill levels! I’ve seen great results in a couple months

The trainers were very nice us and the provide good assistance. he workout was amazing and the atmosphere of the gym was very motivated.

Great atmosphere, super friendly people, awesome workout and great location! Would recommend!

CTF is such a great gym. Staff is awesome and so so friendly. Classes are always different and hold my interest.

One of my favorite studios thus far. Every class is always so dynamic and challenging, but yet welcoming to all levels. I’ve tried a few studios around Lakeview East, but this one — while still a 15 min walk from me — takes the cake because it’s worth it.

Awesome high-intensity workouts with friendly and knowledgeable instructors. Each class is unique and challenging!

I really like your space. Its clean and well organized. I dont feel skeezed out when doing floor work. The Strength workout was very challenging and fun.I liked the instructor.

I love CTF! Theres no other gym in Chicago that makes me look forward to working out so much. The trainers are super helpful and encouraging. Im hooked!

CTF is one of the best group fitness gym I have ever been to. Very cross fit forward vs a competitor like Barry’s which is more cardio based. Both have their benefits, but I like CTF because you burn just as many calories while also building more muscle. They do a great job with changing the exercises every class so It always keeps my attention and focus. Highly HIGHLY recommend giving CTF a try :)

Absolutely love this place. The trainers and clients make for a great atmosphere to workout together! Trainers explain things brilliantly and are always on hand to help with form, scaling up or down on a movement depending on your needs and level! Could not recommend CTF enough!

The instructors are SO welcoming and nice. They are really attentive and come help you as needed during the class. I always leave class feeling like I had a challenging, but enjoyable workout.

CrossTown Fitness is one of my favorite group classes in Chicago. Classes are always challenging and a good workout. The instructors are well prepared, professional and friendly. If youre looking to mix up your routine and get some motivation from a great class and environment, I definitely recommend CTF!

I fell in love with the CrossTown Fitness classes I have been attending and feel so good after I leave. I dont think I will go back to my traditional weightlifting/exercise routine ever again.

I’ve always thought of CrossFit as an intimidating workout. I couldn’t have been more wrong about it, it’s been amazing and so rewarding. I love the energy in the room, the trainers are so friendly, helpful and inspirational always pushing you to finish strong. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Ive only been going for a couple of weeks and I’m hooked! Great staff, great classes 😊

The total body strength workout was an intense workout and they had super friendly staff. The trainer, Amy, was super helpful and helped me find modifications for things that I was just not strong enough for. She introduced herself to me just before class started and made sure to let me know what the class was about and to see if I had any questions. Im super sore today from that workout but its a good sore that I havent felt in a while.

Class moves quickly and provides an intensive, full body workout. Focus is on building strength and endurance. Totally recommend!

Great gym! No two classes are ever the same, and all of the instructors are helpful and supportive. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great workout!

These classes give you a whole body workout in about 45 minutes! They are never the same, always challenging, and fly by! Instructors seem to truly care and come around correcting form and keep you motivated throughout the workout.

Crosstown fitness is an excellent place for group fitness. The workouts are challenging and fun. The instructors are always energetic. I do group fitness classes all over the city and this place is my favorite.

Good stuff here. Lots of interval training, with options of strength-focused (minimal cardio) or more balanced (with plenty of cardio). I also did a mobility class that was all pressure-point work, which relieved my (quite) sore muscles from the classes I took earlier in the week. Trainers are very good about correcting form, especially with newcomers. Relaxed group, non-judgmental, encouraging (but, thankfully, without the weird insider cult-like vibe that could easily be present at a place like this). All around great experiences!

Love this gym -- the total body classes always deliver! Knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainers. I feel like I am always pushed to take it a notch higher -- and at the same time, they are skillful enough to help modify as necessary (e.g.: for injury/recovery)!

Great workout, never bored and always total body. You typically rotate between 4/5 stations multiple times through with a great mix of cardio and weights. Be prepared to be sore but SO glad that you went to class

I absolutely love CTF! I signed up for the two week trial and got hooked. It’s a great workout, that constantly changes so you are never bored and keeps the mind and body guessing! I signed up for an unlimited membership after my two weeks were up!
