I was at RNCF for about at least two years and from day one I felt like was taken care of. Adam and the staff were very good at teaching me the basics and advanced aspects of CrossFit workouts. The members and the staff at this gym become great friends that motivate each other to do better in the gym and out. I was very happy to be a member the last couple years while I use to work in the River North area and hope to stop in sometime soon!

This was my first CrossFit gym in Chicago and I ended up loving all the coaches. Everyone is super friendly and the classes are great. Their equipment is pretty new and clean. I will recommend anyone to come in and check the place out.

Recently started, and it has been an amazing experience.... the workouts are challenging, with lots of individualized coaching for all experience levels (me being a beginner this has helped me advance more quickly and really push myself). The people and culture, as well as the intensity and expertise of the coaching make it by far the best gym Ive ever been apart of. Its clear everyone is there to help each other max out their potential, and its super fun and rewarding as a result.

My husband and I were dropping in from Texas and we loved it. Great WODS programmed, friendly staff, and members made us feel welcomed. Awesome experience! If you are in Chicago drop in and don’t forget to get a cool shirt from them.

Road trip with my son. I called the gym to make sure they were allowing drop-ins. Spoke to Adam who was super nice (even offered suggestions for things to do while in town). Work out was, well, what it should be…a sweat fest! If I was in town for longer, I would totally make this my gym for the stay! Thank you tons!!

The classes are fun and motivating! A great way to get a super hard, intense, workout done in just 45min and have a blast doing it! I’ll be back next time I’m in town!

Great gym. I’ve been coming here regularly since August 2020. Excellent workouts that challenge you regardless of your experience level. I have definitely seen results in my overall strength and athleticism.Adam (the owner) and all of the coaches are friendly and knowledgeable. It’s refreshing to come in after a long day and be around like-minded, fun, motivated people. Definitely worth checking out!

Came to River North Crossfit for my Level 1 course and was blown away by this gym. Adam, the owner, was super professional and welcoming and run’s an elite facility in the heart of downtown Chicago. Go check it out!

Been going to river north CrossFit since 2016 when I moved back to the city and it’s the best CrossFit gym I have ever been in. Coaches are great and the space is huge for being in downtown Chicago

Finally getting around to writing a review here! Started going here with the ex because he was loving it. The gym is great! I feel like a kid here because of the other s who are also working out. Good location but hard to find parking. Definitely a workout you want to try if looking for a challenge!

Excellent workout regimens, great community of bros and ladies, the owner is chill AF, and its honestly probably one of the top three places I miss in Chicago. Just go in, youll see what I mean.

Dropped in this morning while in town for work. It was an amazing workout and Lauren, the Coach, was fabulous. She was very encouraging and kept an eye on everyone, assisting with technique when needed and good modification suggestions. The location is great, an easy walk from my hotel. I’ll definitely drop in again.

I’ve been coming to River North CrossFit for close to 4 years now. It’s the best gym I’ve been to, and not just in Chicago. Great coaching and programming, very friendly staff and owners, extensive hours, large with lots of well maintained or new equipment, and very friendly and welcoming community. Highly recommend!

An amazingly welcoming community. Absolutely perfect for dropping in. Central to everything for tourism and conferences! Also, the bathrooms have more changing rooms, showers, and hairdryers than any other gym I’ve dropped in during my last 10 years of CF (I’ve been to at least 50).

I was in town for work and had to get my Open workout done quickly. I found River North CrossFit had flexible open gym hours and the process could not have been easier. I was on a tight timeline, but Alex got me set up with a drop-in quickly and even judged my workout so I could submit my scores before the deadline. It was not a minute after I submitted my scores that he had validated it. He was a great coach and judge to have through a tough workout. Such an incredible experience and great hospitality! I will be back whenever I’m in Chicago.

I had the pleasure of dropping in to River North CrossFit from Alaska. They gave me the VIP treatment, I got a great workout in, the coaches were great and their community was welcoming. They just ran out of tank tops so they mailed me one after their next shipment came in. Definitely a home away from home at River North CrossFit, drop in if you’re in town.

This is a great hard working gym. If you want to get fit this is the place to be. Everyone here is really friendly too. My first day I showed up for a team workout and had 5 people asking if i was all set with a partner. If you want to get in shape come here!

Great gym. Dropped in on a Saturday for a 3 person team workout. Felt very welcome by the coaches, regular folks, and even the fire breathers. Well planned clean facilities. Thanks for allowing me to be there today!Let’s update this. I have dropped in here quite a bit over the last 6 months and my initial experience was not unique. These folks are great and they want to help you get fit. Thanks for becoming my ‘away’ box!

I just completed my second workout at River North CrossFit. The owner Adam greeted me kindly the first time I stepped in the Gym. He remembers everyones name, and has even made the extra effort to introduce me to other members of the gym. Very relaxed and welcoming.Both of my workouts have been with coach Andy. He is technically proficient in the movements we have done so far, and gave me some very helpful advisement on improving my Olympic lifts. I feel that he does a good job making rounds to everyone during the workout, and giving a good amount of coaching/motivating. I particularly like that when he is coaching, it feels like he is really trying to help you. I also noticed that when he is coaching he is talking TO you as opposed to AT you, which I very much appreciate.The facilities are clean (locker rooms, showers, etc.). It feels so good to finally start working out again. Based on the results of other gym members, and the two workouts I have done so far, I am expecting awesome results in my physical fitness. If you want to get in shape I would definitely recommend River North CrossFit.

I dropped in on a Sunday morning. The staff was super accommodating when I was running late due to road closures from the marathon. Great WOD, energetic coach, competitive athletes. I would drop in here anytime you’re in Chicago!

Review №42

Like no other gym I have experienced. Truly amazing customer service, attentive and welcoming coaches, fantastic communication (both on the website and with the coaches/staff), as well as such ease of signing up and taking class! I had a terrific one week experience with this gym and, hands down, recommend River North Crossfit to anyone visiting / staying in Chicago. Not only was the programming great, but the space as well as the coaches are ideal for a crossfit class. I wish I didnt have to leave Chicago so I could make this my home crossfit gym!!! Incredible community and 100%, 5 stars, 2 thumbs-up recommend River North Crossfit.

I dropped in River North CrossFit while my husband was in town for a conference and I tagged along to explore the city. I saw RNCF had great reviews so I decided to check it out....my husband came too (first timer to CF!). We were immediately greeted by staff and jumped into the 9:30 class. The WOD was awesome and the coach was great giving my husband scaling options for his first time. Excellent workout, great facility, and totally walking distance from downtown hotels!

I have visited a couple different CrossFit gyms and this was definitely the best one Ive been to. The place was huge and as is the case with most CrossFit gyms, the people were extremely fit and the competition level for the class was great.

A great box for both local people and those of us visiting Chicago on occasion. Katie (the owner) is awesome and she has a but a t-shirt for a drop in policy...which I love. She even let me come in twice. I dropped in for a morning workout directly from the airport (red eye flight) and was able to WOD and shower before a 9am meeting. Super connivence if you are working/staying in the loop or river north. The facility is great and the coach I had (Ben) was very good.Id highly recommend for people visiting and local people in Chicago looking for a great box.

Had a such a great experience dropping in to RNCF while visiting Chicago for only a few days. Their whole team of coaches and staff through to the athletes in the classes were all so warm, welcoming and encouraging! Their tech-savvy front desk (while physically standing on boxes, lol!) made registration and waiver signing a breeze that took no time at all before class.Highly recommend RNCF for any CrossFitter looking for a sweat while traveling in the Windy City! Thanks everyone!

Exceptional crossfit gym. Having started crossfit over 4 years ago, RNCF is now my 3rd home box. I have now been a member at RNCF for one year and couldnt be happier- the community, coaching, programming and facility are all outstanding.RNCF offers a wide variety of class times which makes getting to the gym easier for any schedule. Love this place and my fitness family here!!

Great Crossfit gym. Tim was very professional, I likes that the mobilisation was part of the ore WOD. Constant checking of good form and good scaling of exercises. Nice idea to also include a post WOD stretching routine. Id definitely come back again! Great service before I even arrived in Chicago, with good responses to my emails and the online sign up.

Review №65

Beyond amazing!!! I was in Chicago for a seminar last weekend and wanted to drop-in to keep up with my 4x/week WOD schedule. RNCF was very close to my hotel. Ive only been crossfitting for about a month and Coach Chris was super accommodating and helpful! He helped me scale everything based on my experience and my bad knee.Their womens locker rooms are girl-heaven!! They were clean and had everything you would need to get showered and on your way fresh and clean. :) I was very impressed with the fact they had a towel service, toiletries, a blow dryer and even plastic bags for your dirty clothes. They even had a giant container of q-tips! What more could a woman need?!Some people complained about the drop-in fee --- quit boohooing! You cant expect to get this quality of a box and facilities and pay next to nothing for dropping in. Plus, they have classes every hour practically. The convenience of that is worth a ton! They offer a discount on the drop-in if you purchase a t-shirt too, which helps build up your shirt collection.I would definitely come back here next time I visit Chicago! Thanks again RNCF for being so welcoming to a drop-in!

I visited RNCF out of guilt of eating like a champ for two days on my Mancation so I decided to run a few miles to the box and give it a whirl. I loved it, it was crossfit through and through, small a lil cramped and a bunch of good looking over enthusiatic people lol. Everyone was friendly and for me thats was a first, I am from chicago but dont live there anymore and most of the time when I come back I find the people not so friendly. From now on when I do come back I will make this my home away from home box to sneek in a WOD.
