I cannot even begin to express how important and impactful PXM has been on health and life in general since I joined in 2019. I had slipped a disc in my back a year earlier and wanted to start working out again but was afraid to do so by myself, but joining a gym and getting a personal trainer was far too expensive. I figured with crossfit I could workout and at least have someone there to answer any questions. I still cant believe how far my expectations were exceeded from the get-go. Rather than throw me into a class like some of the other gyms Id talked to wanted to do, I had a full month of personal training so they could see the extent of my recovery and my physical limits. Including educating me on how my body has adapted since my injury. From my first class, every coach was fully aware of my injury and always kept an eye out to check my form.When covid hit, they did not miss a beat and we were provided with at home workouts every single day designed for any manner of equipment you might have at home (even none). I have always been able to reach out to any coach directly for advice on modifications or any concerns. When the gym reopened, they were the first ones to be completely prepared, sending out a fully illustrated PDF on social distancing, mask, and sanitation guidelines and I have never not felt safe working out since.This year I broke my elbow, they were immediately there for moral support, and designed personal workouts for me to keep me moving without risking further harm to my elbow. After finishing PT, I was told not to expect getting back a certain level of mobility in my elbow, but the resources PXM has provided me, from personal 1 on 1 muscle release/therapy sessions, to modified exercises, weekly check ins, and knowing exactly when to encourage me to take my work a little further and when to hold back, I have recovered almost all of my original extension, my pain is reduced, and have even relieved tension in the rest of my body.As a gay man, Ive often felt the pressure and stigma of body type in my community and other gyms. The community at PXM have never made me feel less than, the coaches and other members are nothing but supportive and encouraging. Ive never felt more comfortable in my body in the gay community. Ive made friends, Ive learned, Im appreciated. Even in times of financial hardship, never once have I considered quitting PXM as a way to cut expenses and I can never imagine leaving now.

I just started going a few days ago, and I’m instantly impressed with this gym. The facility is extremely clean, and they do an amazing job making sure everyone is safe during these crazy times. I love how your first sessions are about technique before you start taking actual classes. I’m currently working with Senad who’s knowledgeable on how to workout properly without causing injuries. I would definitely recommend this gym, especially if you’re looking for something sustainable. It’s worth it!

Coaches go above and beyond to ensure safety of their athletes. The programming varies so you cannot get bored but you will get stronger/fitter/better by walking in the door and doing what they say. The gym itself is outstanding: the equipment is well maintained and the space is the cleanest gym Ive ever worked out in considering how many people cycle through there everyday. The owners cultivate a community environment that makes you want to show up. Love this place, miss it all the time! Wish I could have cloned everything about it to take with me across the country.

I’ve been coming here for years. This place is amazing! The facility is always clean, and there is always enough equipment for every class. The staff is also very polite and professional. Every workout offers a new challenge to help me reach my goals. Lamont is very encouraging and hands-on. Worth every penny !

Being at Powered By Movement for more than a year has been amazing. Working on my fitness with them has helped me find an appreciation for fitness and they work 1:1 with you to make sure to get the movements.The Owners and Coaches are all phenomenal. Each of them are dedicated to their craft and working with each person individually to make sure they understand the movements and improve. I have seen some amazing results and I am lucky to be a part of an amazing community.

Personally Knowing Co-owner Lamont Lynn for well over 25 Years..He and His Team Spends Time Motivating Each and Every Client. Excellent Teaching and Training..World Class workouts. Very Organized and Clean Facilities. And the Equipment is The latest in Fitness.. I highly recommend PXM to Anyone anytime. They are the Standard in which all Gyms should go By. #SALUTE

I train privately with Lamont for the last two years. He has provided and continues to provide outstanding support and encouragement in our training together. His knowledge of sports and fitness has helped me grow as individual and athlete. The amount of improvement I have noticed in my physical strength is more than I could ask for. The place is also one of the cleanest gyms I have ever been in! Very friendly community at PXM.

I am so happy to call PXM my workout family! All the coaches are very helpful and always ready to answer any question you may have. I have met some amazing people since the time I joined. The environment is like no other. Looking forward to working out once again and lifting some heavy weights.

Ive trained with Lamont for years, who is without question one of the best in the business. All of the coaches are committed to helping each athlete reach his/her personal fitness goals. The space is always impeccably clean, inviting, and motivating. I moved out of the area and still fight traffic to train here. I wouldnt go anywhere else!

I worked out with these guys my last 2.5 years of living in Chicago and it was one of the best things I had decided to do! They not only whipped me into shape but they also became friends. A true gym family 💪 Im still hopping on to virtual workouts even though Im now living in England. If you want to get fit combined with a little sass, a lot of fun and make some great friends in the process, this is your place!

This is a super supportive environment where you are pushed, but with care. The coaches are passionate about getting each member to their personal fitness goals. Its apparent that this isnt just a business for them, its a calling. Join this gym. You wont regret it.

Loved doing some drop-in classes here with some great coaches and community from time to time. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick, easy, drop-in! Super awesome spot!

These guys are fantastic. I have been learning a lot from them. Very helpful coaches and the variety of classes keep you from losing your rythm at the gym. Definitely recommend PXM if you are looking for a new gym or need to get back on horse after a hiatus.

Amazing trainers, always clean with the most up to date equipment. The atmosphere is so welcoming not to mention if your looking for results these trainers will deliver them 100%!

The cleanliness and mandatory cleaning of equipment makes me feel secure about working out here.

Amazing owners, coaches, and community! Focused programming for all fitness levels with emphasis on safe technique. Best workouts around!

Great owners. They are very knowledgeable. They do a great job of building a community. If your goal is to be healthier, and stronger, I recommend PXM.

Great trainers! Great workouts! Love all the options available to meet my needs. Even thru Covid they made options to still continue my workouts from home! Very recommend!

If you are looking to advance your fitness and athletic skills, as well as find a community where all people are embraced and celebrated, PXM is the place for you! They have an extremely clean and well-maintained facility, excellent coaches who care and take time with their athletes (especially new ones), and a supportive community that offers something for everyone. I highly recommend giving PXM a try whether you are an experienced CrossFitter like myself, or just looking to get started with a new routine.

I was a member of PXM fitness for 10 months before leaving the city of Chicago for work. Everyone at PXM, from the coaches, the owners and the members were the most welcoming group of people I have come across. I was nervous to start CrossFit but from Day 1 it was clear that this gym was going to be a good fit for me!The programming is amazing, the gym is always clean, the owners and staff are always looking to get involved with community efforts. The coaches are really great at teaching correct form and working with each person to ensure the workout matches their abilities!I can’t say enough good things about this gym!

The coaches are very knowledgeable and equipped to support athletes of varying levels. This is a space that allows for members to feel welcomed and not pressured to the point of injury. The facilities are always clean and this an overall professional establishment that invests in each individual member.

This gym is outstanding. Ive got a lot of work to do in rebuilding my body strength and ability from a lifetime of injury and misuse. The folks at PXM are compassionate and motivating.During the Illinois shelter-in-place order due to Covid-19, PXM found creative ways for keeping their workouts accessible. Between Zoom classes, the apps SugarWOD and TrueCoach, and personal calls and texts, they provided above and beyond care to ensure their clients (and me) were healthy - physically and mentally.During the phased reopening of businesses, they take safety and health seriously. Come with a mask!The gym attracts some of the most vibrant and caring people I know. I am proud to be a member.

I was playing frisbee at senn high school when this gym displaced my group and just went into our space without a warning. They didn’t offer an apology or even tell us that they “reserved” this space. We ended up having to leave due to them just randomly taking the space we were at first, plus the personal trainer was horribly rude.

This is the place to do Crossfit. Nicest owners and staff, so disarming and warm. Everyone practices what they preach. Best coaching in the city. The classes (WODs) are structured to improve flexibility, strength, and overall health--the most comprehensive program design out there, every day is fresh and challenging. I wouldnt go anywhere else!

Excellent box. Great community, great coaches. They really look at your needs and put you to work. The place has very tall ceilings so there is good air circulation.

I trained privately with Lamont, one of the owners of PXM for 3 years before sadly leaving Chicago. One of the things I miss most about my life in Chicago was my training with Lamont- both the relationship we built, the understanding of my life and how it effected my body and the terrific facilities at PXM. I got to experiment with so many different types of exercises because of the great facilities that truly challenged my body. Great owners and facilities!!

I’ve always been hit and miss with working out. I’ve tried a lot of workout programs, but none have lasted more than 3 months. I’ve now consistently been part of the PXM community for almost 6 months and I couldn’t be happier.PXM is a wonderful group of skilled professionals, and they are equipped to help anyone no matter where they are in their fitness journey. I’ve seen wonderful results, and my view of health and wellness has changed dramatically thanks to the staff and members at PXM.Give them a try! ☺️

I have worked out at multiple CrossFit gyms in the Chicago area and have been most impressed by PXM Crossfit. The programming is thoughtful/intentional and intelligent, and the coaches are all knowledgeable professionals. The facility is kept in pristine condition and the community it great. I would highly recommend PXM to athletes of all levels!

Starting CrossFit for the first time last November was scary to say the least. The misperception I had of what CrossFit was made me anxious. But the Onboarding process with Coach Senad was amazing and made me fully prepared for classes. Once I started classes after on-ramp I found a community of amazing and supportive friends at PXM! All of the coaches are so knowledgeable and have helped me grow in ways I didn’t know were possible. I can’t wait to see what I can do in the years to come!

Best coaches and great programming:))

This gym is excellent, it has everything you need provided with excellent service.

Very professional staff, very satisfied

Great gym! Great coaches!

I love their energy! Coaches and management are just on point! They go above and beyond for their members! Love this box!

Great community, great energy, great workouts!

I mean, how can anyone say anything negative about PXM Crossfit!!!I was a coach at the old box (which was under different ownership) and i moved away when these 3 guys took the challenge and accepted it well!!!I’ve dropped in a couple times recently and i continue to be amazed at all that is going on!!! To name some highlights: *drop ins always welcomed with open arms *amazing community *new equipment *clothing & water bottles always available for purchase *seminars often (double under clinic, nutrition clinic ) *variety of classes *coaches are always willing to spend extra time with members to help them growBottom line, PXM Crossfit is hands-down one of the best Crossfit gyms I’ve been too! Oh, and I’ve been Crossfitting and dropping into boxes since 2012!I highly recommend to anyone wanting a change, challenge, whatever it may be.... come talk to Senad, Lamont and/or Ben at PXM!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!

The more I train at PXM CrossFit, the more grateful I am for the recent its recent rebranding and relocation. The new space is thoughtfully laid out and the additional sandbags, kettle bells, dumbbells, Echo bikes, etc. have made workouts here even more fun and varied and challenging. The new owners are communicative and excited, and that shows in their running of the box.The programming at PXM is inspired and never, ever boring. Our coaches are amazing-both in how much they know about proper techniques and movement patterns as well as in how they convey that knowledge to their athletes. The coaches somehow manage to walk the line between making sure the athletes dont lift too much/try dangerous things while still motivating and encouraging them to push their limits (safely, of course).In short:A well-maintained box with lots of fun and interesting things to lift and throw around - check!Engaged, excited, and invested owners - check!Interesting and challenging programming - check!Knowledgeable and caring coaches - check!But wait! Theres more!Id be remiss if I didnt write at least a few words about the community of athletes that makes up PXM CrossFit. The people who train at PXM are fantastic human beings. They are supportive and encouraging and *kind.* They welcome new athletes wholeheartedly. They train hard and they play hard. It is a wonderful community to be a part of.

Hey awesome new box-mate you!Just a quick update on my experience here.Having worked out at other CrossFit gyms in the area, Hardware CrossFit and Primary CrossFit. I was excited for the potential to drop in on weekend workouts with Powered By Movement, PXM.My experience with PXM CrossFit started in a bit of a perfect storm.The gym had recently rebranded from Edgewater CrossFit and relocated. It was arduous for my friends and I to find the location and hours.This made picking up meals delivered though a partnership with Origin Meals difficult. By the way, Origin’s food is delicious and such a bargain!!Ben, one of the proud new owners of the CrossFit box, worked to get things sorted.CrossFit has such a diverse, kind, and inspirational community. And I’m looking forward to seeing ya’ around.Cheers!Matthew PaulOriginal review redacted.

Best coaches on the planet.
