I dropped into Sono this past weekend and had a great experience. Chris is an awesome instructor and the workout was challenging but fun! Definitely recommend giving it a shot if you are interested in joining a great community of people and want to be pushed to get more out of your time at the gym.

I did the groupon 10 pass and would love to get more involved at some point. Great experience. The instructors, particularly Chris and Rich are fantastic. They go out of their way to make sure new people are doing everything safely and well. They're so good that somehow it feels like everyone has their own personal trainer even with one instructor and 20 people in the class. Highly highly recommended.

This place is fantastic! Although the floor space is not huge, they have a variety of equipment including dozens of barbells, racks, bumper plates, kettlebells, bands, rowers, boxes, etc. all in great condition. There are two bathrooms and a water dispenser.
I dropped in for a few days from out of town, and all the members and coaches were extremely welcoming and accommodating. The workouts are brutal, but the coaches emphasize good technique and safety.
Overall I had a great experience here and I highly recommend anyone in the area to check it out.

I cannot recommend this gym enough for anyone looking to change their life. The coaching and support here is second to none. I started with no knowledge of cross fit but the great coaching has motivated me to keep learning.

I've been coming to Sono Fitness for 1.5 years, and it is truly the best gym! I started working out consistently 2 years ago and have tried several different fitness studios and gyms - including yoga sculpt classes at Core Power and a few training gyms, one of which also trained many NBA and NFL players. None have compared to Sono Fitness.
Unlike other gyms I've tried, the coaches at Sono ensure you learn proper form to prevent injury AND also motivate you to push yourself to do things you've never been able to do! I've had several moments at Sono where I didn't think I could do something, but was motivated by coach Z to try and surprised myself!
The great thing about the group workouts is that each movement can be catered to the individual, whether you're a beginner or veteran. There is always a "prescribed" option and an alternative, scaled option for every movement. The workouts are also complemented with an app that allows you track your performance and see how others at the gym performed as well. It's a great way to monitor your progress over time!
The community at Sono is also great with a great group of athletes. I'm inspired every day by so many others!
Whether you're a beginner looking for a gym that will help you learn the basics and help you grow at your own pace, or a veteran looking for a gym that will help take your fitness to a whole new level, Sono Fitness is the perfect gym!

I've been going to SoNo for almost two years, making it the longest I've committed to anything in years (ha!) and the longest I've committed to fitness ever. On the days I go to class, my hour in the gym is literally the only hour of my day that I am not worried, anxious, or preoccupied.
The space is small, but has everything you need to get a great workout in. Class size is limited to 14 people, which means you get a lot of one-on-one attention and feedback from coaches to help improve your technique. Coaches are knowledgable and helpful, and the overall community is inclusive, friendly, and down-to-earth. Even if you're the last one to finish, everyone stays to cheer you on. They also offer nutrition and massage services. There are also small things I really appreciate, like extra hair ties in the bathroom and phone charges.
Lastly, the value really cannot be beat. The different packages are very competitively priced. I did the foundations classes at a different gym over a year before finding SoNo. New members at that gym had to do private sessions that ran $75/session(!), their monthly packages were twice the price of SoNo's, and their community was a bunch of Navy Seal wannabes.

The gym itself is awesome and one of the things keeping me in the city. Great facilities; the pool is clean and a great temperature, equipment is extensive and new and clean.

Sharing some high praise for the place I have called my fitness home for the past five years. Zoran and the coaching team have been nothing but knowledgable and encouraging. Even outside of the gym, they have shown great compassion and support. So grateful to have found wonderful friends and personal transformation through Sono Fitness. Looking forward to continuing my fitness journey here.

Almost 5 years strong at this place of fitness. Would not trade it for the world. Top notch coaching and equipment.

This gym is incredible, plain and simple. The coaches are knowledgeable and truly committed to helping you improve as an athlete. The environment is welcoming and the members are encouraging. If you are looking for fun small group fitness classes that will continue to push your performance levels, this is the place for you. It also doesn't hurt that the head coach, Z, got jokes (sometimes).

SoNo is the best gym I have ever been. Good coaching and community, you feel like they care about you and how you perform.

I bought the class through groupon and the experience was pretty awful since I am a non-native English speaker. The coach kept talking to me as if I was stupid and it started to be embarrassing. I will not go there again even though the content of the class is good/challenging.

I came to Chicago in May from a different state & a different box...I didn't think I'd be able to come close to the experience I had at my old box...but to my surprise I found CF SoNo! Great people, dedicated/FUN instructors, & intimate class environment.
1. The owner & instructors pay close attention to your individual ability & gains...they push you but they let you modify based on your needs.
2. It's really something special when you walk into a box expecting a great workout but walk out feeling a sense of community & legitimately PROUD/happy you went!
SO happy I found such a great box :)

I highly recommend Crossfit Sono. Best box in town! Coach Chris is very inspiring and gives individual attention to every person. His techniques to teach workouts (like cleans) are awesome. All the coaches are highly trained, professional and best at what they do.
If you are new to crossfit, you need to visit CF Sono.

I have been doing crossfit for 4-5 years and have dropped into many different gyms while traveling. I love coming to Chicago and dropping in at Crossfit SoNo. I always get a good workout (which I can't say about other gyms I've visited) and they've always been very accommodating (they have open gym hours after some morning classes and have happily let me stay after class to do some additional lifting or accessory work). The space is limited (although they do have showers, which is awesome) so make sure to email before you try to show up (each time I've emailed them I've received a response very quickly).

I have been with Crossfit Sono for almost a year now and have been blown away by the results! Sono comes equipped with the best coaches in Chicago! The classes are no bigger than 14 people which leads to constant 1 on 1 coaching and motivation! Classes are an hour long where you stretch and mobilize, do some strength and conditioning, and finish it off with a great workout designed to get your heart rate up, build strength and endurance, and overall build a better you!
I started in the beginner class, where everything was slowed down. The lifts and movements we're broken down to their simplest form with very little to no weight (empty bar). Then proceed to do a scaled workout.
Sonox is designed to make you sweat! No barbells - pure endurance and conditioning!
Plus you get a great community of athletes who cheer each other on, have fun, and encourage. LBGTQ friendly too! Hope to see you there!!!
