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.
