Awesome coaches and classes...I look forward to coming back whenever I'm in Chicago. Thanks guys!
If you're looking for a great crossfit facility, look no further! This place is awesome and has a wonderful staff that is there to motivate you through your entire work out!
I recently started CrossFit, and was in Chicago on a family vacation. I was able to drop in and train at The Foundry, and it was awesome! The coaching staff provided detailed, yet simple instructions, and the other members were welcoming, supportive, and trained like absolute savages. They have a great facility and very positive atmosphere, and I highly recommend checking this place out!
Great gym that is very well organized, clean and inviting. It's spacious and has a large variety of equipment (they even added pegboards recently). The coaches are fun and do a great job at drilling movements into your brain (and muscles) before the WOD. They have a fun ice-breaker pretty much every day to get the members to know each other a little more. Their nutritional programs, strongman competition and the Foundry Open are all fun and engaging. They regularly have other useful workshops/sessions throughout the year so you are always learning something new here. Overall, a good crew who do a great job at managing the box in Chicago downtown.
I started CrossFit about two years ago, after getting interested in weight lifting. I had originally joined one gym, but after moving, had to find another. The Foundry was in my neighborhood, so I decided to check it out. The coaches have been incredibly helpful, always offering tips on how to improve form and technique, while encouraging me to challenge myself beyond what I thought I could do. Additionally, and even more importantly, the community of people at The Foundry has been amazing. I knew very few people when I moved to Chicago, and have forged some wonderful friendships. I definitely encourage anyone in the area to drop in or join!
Dropped in whilst visiting Chicago and Justin was more than accommodating. Great location, great box and excellent coaching. First night in, a couple of the regulars invited me to work in with them. Highly recommended.

Dropped in - convenient location a few blocks from Union Station. Welcoming staff. Pretty pricey drop-in fee ($29) but the showers/locker room area is truly luxurious compared to any gym I've ever been to, so it felt worth it

Very welcoming gym - great lifting and workout programmed the night I dropped in. Got my butt kicked, which is what I needed after a day of sitting at a desk in training. Thanks, guys!
Great box and great people - both coaches and athletes. Very welcoming and knowledgeable. The space is a good size and is very convenient when traveling and in Downtown Chicago. Drop-in process is super easy and can be done online. I've been here several times while traveling and highly recommend.
I've been doing CrossFit for close to five years and have had the opportunity to visit boxes all over the country. There are typically two key factors that separate one gym from the next: the community and the coaches. When I moved to the downtown area of Chicago, I was dreading changing from my "home" gym to a new one. I had checked out a few boxes in the River North / Loop area and none of them had the type of energy I was looking for. Luckily, I was referred to The Foundry by one of my old coaches. From the very first e-mail exchange with the coaches at the gym, I already knew it was going to be the right decision. When I dropped in on my first class, I was given a warm welcome and introduced to the other members in the class. The instruction given prior to the workout was spot on and ensured everyone would stay safe with no one in the class left wondering what to do next or how to scale the workout if needed.
That class was about five months ago and since that time I've not only had the pleasure of getting to know the community at the gym, but I've also been hitting PRs consistently thanks to the programming. I can confidently say that I've never been so eager to jump out of bed at 5:30am to hit the gym. It's not just about the great results I'm getting, but about the people that support those results and push me to be at my best all while having a great time.
If you're looking for a gym that offers top notch results, solid instruction, and a great community, look no further. The Foundry is the right decision.
I am a member of The Foundry and cannot give enough praise to the coaches, the programming and the community we have. From the day I showed up, a bit uncertain about what I was doing, I was openly welcomed by the fellow members and some incredible coaches.
Much of what we do are exercises we have all done before (e.g. push up, pull up, jump rope, bench press, rope climb, running, rowing, etc.). There are some movements that are technical in nature--this is where most of my uncertainty was. However, the coaches are committed to teaching proper technique to ensure your safety and rapid progress. The coaches scale the workout's weight and movement based on your ability. There is absolutely no shame or pressure when one scales down the workout--we all work hard to improve our fitness.
The upshot: The Foundry will challenge you, help you build strength, endurance, flexibility, etc., all while you make good friends in a welcoming environment. I absolutely love it and predict you will too.
Great location and quality facility/equipment. As a drop in, the process of signing up and paying couldn't be easier. It's nice to be able to pay online. If you're visiting downtown Chicago and want to workout, put this place on your list!
