I lost 34.6 lbs and 5.5% body fat in the 6 week challenge! Paula is a great accountability coach and trainer. The workout classes are always fun, exciting, and challenging.

This is a great gym with great coaches! I just finished their six week CrossFit challenge. I lost approx 10lbs and 4% body fat. The workouts are all grueling but the trainers find a way to keep you pushing harder than you thought you could.
The strict meal plan/no drinking was the most difficult but also the most important part of the challenge. Stick with it and remember almost everyone at this gym has gone through the same thing.
Paula my accountability coach was always available to answer any questions I had.
Jackie and Frank were the coaches I spent most of my time with, both are AMAZING coaches. They always left me drenched with sweat, out of breath, laughing and feeling accomplished. Thanks guys!

Do the 6 Week Transformation Program. Do it! Commit to it 100% and the result will speak for itself. Get in there and sign up now! I was always reluctant about CrossFit. Even after I was talked into going in to my first class I was hesitant. I am happy to say I could not have been more wrong! Bucktown CrossFit is amazing. The facility is great, the staff is awesome and the other members are so friendly. I immediately started up in their 6 week Challenge. I have been an active person my whole life, but this program took me to a whole other level. They sat me down and asked me about my goals, provided me with a diet plan specific to my goal and then asked me to fully commit to it. It was not hard to commit after seeing incredible results in the first week. My accountability coach Matt followed me through it and regularly encouraged me and congratulated me with each week I made progress. My goal was to lose body fat and I do not exaggerate that fat literally melted right off of me each week. I do not regret a single early morning class because even when you don't think you have it in you, the staff is right there the whole way to give you the advice, technique and confidence to tackle any workout you walk into. Going into the last week of the 6 week challenge I was down to below 10% body fat and had not been this lean since cutting weight for high school wrestling. I am looking forward to each and every challenge presented by Bucktown!

Best crossfit gym in the city. Great community, open gym floorplan, all the equipment you could need

I just completed the 6 week challenge and I am hooked. I never though I would be one to do CrossFit but everyone at Bucktown CrossFit was extremely helpful in getting beginners acclimated. The 6 week challenge, it was a great introduction for beginners and even more experience gym users. The resources they provided are exceptional and its definitely worth checking out. The staff as well as the members were more then willing to help out. I really felt it was more than a gym or box but it was also building a community.

I saw an ad on facebook that intrigued me. But first, I saw a good friend have WILD success from their 6 week challenge, so the facebook ad really pushed me over the edge to give it a go. I went into the situation having a basic understanding of lifting and the gym, but was very bored with my routine, with my gym, and with my progress. The six week challenge was exactly what I needed to re-energize my work outs and refocus my energy. The accountability coach was so helpful and consistent with me. The diet was tough (not going to lie), but it made me think about what I was putting into my body each day. I'm thrilled to continue with the gym even after the 6 week challenge, and am so happy with my results that I am eager to continue down this path! Highly highly recommend trying it out- it's hard, but it's a good hard.

Just completed BCTF's 6-Week CrossFit Challenge and it is an experience that goes way beyond the gym. I'm extremely happy with the results and experience I got In this program.

Walking into orientation I wasn't sure if I was capable of keeping up with everyone; there was a class in session while I was there to hear about the program and I was very intimidated. That intimidation stems from my experience at Big Box gyms (no guidance, no form correcting or advising, no strategy). I was very aimless in my routines and knew I needed the help, so I set that worry aside and signed up. They offer a meal plan, accountability coach, and unlimited classes with very knowledgeable and a motivating staff. That alone is what makes this a 5-star review, but on top of that you're also paired with like-minded individuals who all bring an energy of their own into the gym. The members and staff here at Bucktown CrossFit really eliminates the stigma that some people associate with gyms (intimidation, judgement, etc.).

I recommend this to anyone. Literally. I had zero experience, no strength training and my mobility very much needed improvement; I am in the best shape I've been in and it was made possible with their help. I find myself setting personal goals outside of their program and this is a very good starting point to anyone who needs a change of pace. This place gives you the tools to complete the challenge and helps every step of the way. They have your best interest in mind, and you can complete this challenge, too, if you're committed and will dedicate the time to scheduling your workouts, reading the material, and preparing your meals.

Deciding to do the 6 week challenge was one of the best decisions I made this summer. I'm not going to tell you it's easy, because it's not at all. The beginning was very hard for me. However, I look back now on the first week and realize how much progress I have made in such a short period of time. I'm stronger, more coordinated, and faster. Not only do I feel different, I look different as well. I dropped 2 sizes in 6 weeks. At end of week 2, I became injured. I continued to go to the gym and the coaches all worked with me on modifying the workouts as to not over do it. Because of my injuries, I'm not sure if I will hit my goal tomorrow. No matter what the scale says I will walk away proud, because I set out to change and I can see and feel the change!

I am truly grateful I found Bucktown CrossFit!

I signed up for the 6 week challenge and it has pushed me past what I thought my body was capable of! My goal when starting was just to kickstart a fitness routine and gain some healthy habits. I never imagined I would actually enjoy the process and sign up as a member. The gym has a very welcoming community and the instructors are simply amazing. Very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend!!!

I did the 6 week challenge starting June 2, 2018 and it ended on August 9, 2018. Lost a total of 5.5% body fat- which was amazing & unbelievable! At first it was very challenging but you have the most helpful mentors you can possibly ask for. From your accountability coach to the front desk people- always willing to help you with whatever question(s) you have! Started off strong, but finished out stronger! I want to thank everyone at Bucktown Crossfit for letting me be apart of a great establishment & helping me pave my road to a healthy lifestyle/fitness!

I participated in a six-week fitness challenge at Bucktown Crossfit. The challenge involved attending a minimum of three classes per week and following a healthy nutrition plan (not an emergency weight-loss diet!). The challenge also included specific goals that, when completed, redeem a percentage (up to 100%!) of your fees.

The results are legit: I started the challenge fairly lean and STILL dropped ~5% body fat. I'm feeling great about how my body looks, how I feel in it, and what I'm putting into it. But the best part for me was learning a TON of new exercises from super positive and encouraging coaches. I highly recommend Bucktown Crossfit if you're looking for a path toward sustainable health.

Bucktown CrossFit is not just a workout place but a great community with wonderful people, lot of activities, events and more.. I have worked at Bucktown CrossFit for 6 week challenge and lost amazing 8.8% body fat. Matt Lamson(accountability coach) is a cool dude and monitored my workout logs and weigh outs to advice on my fitness trends.. coach Jackie and Dan are awesome people though..

I truly recommend Bucktown cross fit for anyone who like to stay fit and keep motivated...

I joined Bucktown Crossfit for the six week challenge and I would highly recommend it! The challenge is definitely tough - be ready to work, but you will definitely see results if you follow their plan. The best part about this place is how friendly and encouraging all the staff and fellow athletes are. I felt welcomed right away and never intimidated. They really encourage cooperation and most importantly, working to the level that is best for you. Whether you join for the challenge or as a member, you won't be disappointed!

I signed up for their 6 week challenge and loved it. They provide an extensive workout/meal plan that is easy to follow (with the right motivation) and gave me visible results after the first 2 weeks. All of the coaches were extremely personable and approachable, making the whole process so much easier and kept motivation high at all times. Matt specifically was awesome and worked with me so much 1on1 whenever I needed it, it seriously felt like I had my own personal trainer. I'd highly recommend this gym to anyone looking into crossfit and I'd highly recommend the challenge for anyone looking to improve their diet or general health/body image. Just be ready to work!

Great classes, if you're new to CrossFit they will take the time to explain the moves. It's fun to be in class with people that you see regularly. You feel strong after every class and it's definitely a different way to work out that I've enjoyed a lot. I believe the 6 week challenge worked for many people, but the generic meal plan may not be for everyone. If you do have questions you can ask Donna who is the nutritionist and she's great!

This is a great fitness program. Really good coaches and community. For all the newcomers I would recommend getting a bunch of sessions in with Jason and James. I felt as though they were the best at helping someone like me, who was really out of shape, keep my form right. I was on edge about joining because of the initial $600 deposit and the idea of loosing 20lbs in 6 weeks didn't sound very healthy but very happy that I did. The nutrition plan makes sure your loosing fat and not muscle. Give it everything you got and you will get amazing results! Do it!

I had a great time getting to know the people at Bucktown CrossFit. I completed the six week challenge and found the strict meal plan to be exactly what I needed to stay on track. The coaches provide you with plenty of resources to be prepared for class so that you know which days might be best for you to come. I found that some of the workouts were more suited to more experience so I made sure that I was coming on a day where I felt I could be confident and manage the workouts. Regardless they explain all the movements prior to the actual 20 minute workout and encourage beginners to modify and stay safe. I loved that the space felt welcoming and had plenty of dogs around to keep the atmosphere light and friendly. Thanks for a great time!

Just finished my six week challenge, it was definitely a learning experience. I came in pretty scared about crossfit but it turns out this place has the friendliest instructor, they are both patient and welcoming. It's a great atmosphere, the classes are great. This is exactly what I needed to start my way into a more healthy lifestyle. Coaches that love what they do and that keep you accountable.

I did the 6-week challenge and have nothing but good things to say about the program and the gym. The program was definitely a challenge, but one that leaves you feeling incredibly accomplished by the end of the 6 weeks. The coaches set you up for success - the meal plan is straightforward and weekly accountability check-ins helped me stay on track. The classes are great and always a challenge. Thank you to everyone at Bucktown CrossFit for making the challenge such a great experience for me!

Did the 6-week challenge. It was a great introduction to cross-fit. Gym atmosphere is great. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Most classes I went to (usually evening 6, 7, or 8pm) were pretty small so it was always easy to get extra instruction or ask a question. There is always instruction time for the more complex movements and options to scale for difficult ones, so beginners will be very comfortable. People with more experience or higher fitness levels will probably want to seek out the more advanced classes that they offer though.

I was very reluctant to joining Crossfit because I've experienced a lot of injuries training on my own, but Jason and the rest of the coaches eased my fears by modifying exercises. Bucktown Crossfit helped me tap into my athletic side! I joined through the 6-week challenge at the beginning of May 2017 and I decided to continue my membership after I completed the 6-weeks. Today, I'm 15lbs lighter, stronger, and healing from self-inflicted running injuries ;)

October 19, 2017 06:34

If you're thinking in joining a crossfit gym, this is the place to go! Staff and members are very welcoming. The coaches are always willing to help you out with the right form and anything else you need. Totally recommend this gym.

Great place, great people. It really doesn't get better than bucktown CrossFit. Their 6 week challenge actually works. I know because I just finished it, and you can't argue with the results.

This place is awesome!!

Pros: Large space, clean and we'll kept, nice equipment, decent parking, storage, showers.

Cons: No late-morning classes.

I've just finished the 6-week challenge and I can absolutely say that this is one if the best things I've done for myself.

The gym is beautiful. The place is well lit and kept clean. The macines and equipment are also in good condition and always put away. The place has an all around good vibe about it.

The workouts are challenging! Most of them left me lying on the floor in a pool of my own sweat. The classes are creative and there is always good education being passed on. There are beginners and experienced crossfitters at every class and the coaches are amazing at modifying workouts to fit everyone's level. They have worked with me everyday to help me find a challenging weight to use for a specific workout or adapt a move to ensure I had a good workout. They are great at keeping you motivated through the whole class.

The community is the best. I was instantly welcomed by staff, regulars, and other challengers. We crushed the workouts together and cheered each other on. The people are genuine and want to help you grow. They've made sure I got those last couple reps in and helped me realize that I could probably add another 5lbs to the bar.

I look and feel great and I've formed healthy lifestyle habits. These are truly things not every gym can do. The people and knowledge living at BTCF is unique.

Go here!

Everyone at Bucktown Crossfit has extensive knowledge and they were always available to answer my questions. I took 6pm classes with coach James Rudy, he took time to address specific concerns and he gave me tips to modify aspects of the WOD to meet my specific needs.
I would highly recommend Bucktown Crossfit to anyone looking for the motivation and support to become more physically active and healthy! Fun community and dog friendly!
