My happy place :) From the owner (Neil) to all of the amazing, caring coaches, CrossFit CE has more than exceeded my expectations. I joined this amazing community almost 2 years ago and I can confidently say I am in the best shape of my life and have developed an amazing network of successful, hard working, ego-less members. If you are looking to get healthy and active, this is the place. Detailed, one-on-one coaching. Challenging WODs that will push you and make you stronger. Embracing and supportive community. Try their one-on-one fundamentals course and you won't be disappointed.

Coaches are great! They help you out a lot with your goals. Different from other boxes they really care. Very big space, lofty style. Best box in town! In the heart of West Town and you know west is the best! Highly recommendable!

Fantastic gym, incredible coaching staff - all of whom are knowledgeable, friendly and caring. My first ever CrossFit Gym and I love it. Workouts are structured and varied, following a sensible well thought-out progression over time, not just random and haphazardly selected.
Good selection of equipment and not at all cramped. A really special community!

Dana and Jose are awesome. Really enjoyed working out here. Great community. There are a variety of socials built in as well. Really cool and great people. Miss all of them. Moved out of Chicago. Wish I could go back and work out with these guys

Joined them for Murph a couple times and did a few additional wods there. A great environment overall, excellent facility to help you achieve your goals and a great location.

I work in the club industry and have wanted to join a box for a long time. I've been a member of 5-6 other clubs in Chicago over the years. This establishment is as professional and well run as I've seen in the greater club industry. Neil and Dana really know what they're talking about and are excellent in communicating how to perform movements with perfect form. I couldn't believe how much stronger I felt 100x stronger after just 1 class. If you want to be more mentally sharp at work and have more energy, I highly recommend you join Crossfit CE.

Amazing experience, very clean facility. I have done a few group courses, as well as used the gym component. Neil is a GREAT trainer, very professional and really pushes you in the right direction. I would recommend them to anyone!

Crazy helpful and knowledgeable staff combined with an incredibly supportive group of members makes this one of the best and most effective gyms I've ever been a member of. Can't stress enough the impact of the workouts and how much fun I have with this crew.

This was my first time doing a CrossFit workout and I had a blast. Holly (full disclosure: one of my good friends) and Neil are fantastic instructors who push their clients but who also always kept it friendly. Holly and Neil also were particularly encouraging given my relative inexperience with the CrossFit method of doing things. Other people there for the first time felt similarly supported and motivated.

The CrossFit CE space is great, and it has has all the equipment necessary to get in a really tough, rewarding workout. The location in the city is really convenient for those living in West Loop, Ukrainian Village, or Wicker Park.

The setup, space, and equipment are all great at CrossFit CE. But, again, I can't emphasize enough how welcoming, encouraging, and awesome both Neil and Holly were not only to me, but also to everyone else who came to the workout. Great place, even better people running it!

I enrolled into the introduction program through Groupon. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, community, and coaches. Coaches are very detailed and knowledgeable which helps maximize each workout. Every daily workout is different so it never gets boring. The coaches also plan out of gym activities like paddle boarding and runs to keep it fun and interesting.

CrossFit is the closest athletic experience I've had since college sports. It makes your workout routine at the gym obsolete. I've experience a lot of CrossFit's across the country and CrossFit CE is outstanding in every regard. There is a boxing ring in the middle too which was super legit. They even let us spar for fun.

The classes are awesome and Coach Holly is the best. She's a D1 athlete, ensures everyone (from novices to experts) is using good form, and most importantly makes everything really fun. If you live/work in this area and are wondering what CrossFit is all about or simply want to get results from your workout, you definitely need to check out CrossFit Competitive Edge.

this has to be the best CrossFit box I've ever been to. Holly and Neil are extremely knowledgeable and avoid the typical CrossFit stigma by providing top notch coaching and have developed a welcoming community atmosphere. Customer for life.
