Love this place! Definitely a killer workout but it's constantly moving so you're never bored. Love how everything rotates - super positive and encouraging environment. Would recommend to people of all fitness levels (looking to get their butt kicked!)

The instructors are SO welcoming and nice. They are really attentive and come help you as needed during the class. I always leave class feeling like I had a challenging, but enjoyable workout.

Good stuff here. Lots of interval training, with options of strength-focused (minimal cardio) or more balanced (with plenty of cardio). I also did a mobility class that was all pressure-point work, which relieved my (quite) sore muscles from the classes I took earlier in the week. Trainers are very good about correcting form, especially with newcomers. Relaxed group, non-judgmental, encouraging (but, thankfully, without the weird insider cult-like vibe that could easily be present at a place like this). All around great experiences!

Amazing classes for anyone looking to get the most out of your workout. Each instructor takes pride in their work and offers a fast paced class that keeps you working without realizing 45 minutes has passed. A must try for fitness enthusiasts and people looking for a change of pace

Challenging, exciting and motivating classes. Something different each class and each instructor. Guaranteed to sweat your butt off and be sore!

I started going to Crosstown Fitness looking for a change in the normal gym routine. I love how every class is different, which makes working out a lot more exciting! I've done many exercises that I never would have ever tried on my own. All the teachers push you to do your best. I'll definitely come back again!

Getting started working out again after some injuries and this has been a great experience allowing me to adapt the exercises to meet my needs and the trainers are really attentive to those of us with special needs! Plus it is fun and moves fast so you don't get bored, before you know it, the work out is over. And everyone here is really nice from the trainers to the fellow students.

The classes are fun, challenging, and different every single day. The trainers all do a great job moving you through routines and offering variations of movements that fit your fitness level and goals. I always feel amazing after I leave this place.

I LOVE this studio! All of the trainers are amazing. I have never felt more in shape or been pushed harder in the right way. Every class is different and every instructor is different too, awesome variety. I am joining this studio. Best workout in Chicago!

CrossTown Fitness is one of my favorite group classes in Chicago. Classes are always challenging and a good workout. The instructors are well prepared, professional and friendly. If you're looking to mix up your routine and get some motivation from a great class and environment, I definitely recommend CTF!

Great workout, never bored and always total body. You typically rotate between 4/5 stations multiple times through with a great mix of cardio and weights. Be prepared to be sore but SO glad that you went to class

I’ve always thought of CrossFit as an intimidating workout. I couldn’t have been more wrong about it, it’s been amazing and so rewarding. I love the energy in the room, the trainers are so friendly, helpful and inspirational always pushing you to finish strong. I can’t recommend this place enough!

I absolutely love CTF! I signed up for the two week trial and got hooked. It’s a great workout, that constantly changes so you are never bored and keeps the mind and body guessing! I signed up for an unlimited membership after my two weeks were up!

I have been loving CTF! I’ve always enjoyed a good workout, but these classes really push me to work my hardest. I have a knee issue and the instructors are great about providing me exercise modifications. I’m only 5 classes in, but have already seen a change which prompted me to sign up for the unlimited pass. Give it a shot, you’ll love it!

Instructors are great! Facility is open and clean and the equipment is in great condition. The work outs are amazing and I always leave feeling accomplished!

I love going to CrossTown - I work up a great sweat, classes are fun and always changing, and the environment is very conducive to getting a good workout in

Absolutely love Crosstown Northside! Every workout is challenging but can be scaled to any fitness level and ability. I like that most of the workouts are anchored around variations of functional movements, so you can track your progress and feel encouraged to pick up heavier weights over time. Trainers are highly knowledgeable, attentive to form, and motivating!

Benjamin Pisik

Great workout! The instructors are very attentive, detailed, and give you a fantastic full body session. It is one of my favorite gyms in the city. I highly recommend if you want to get your butt kicked (in a good way obviously).

Great gym! No two classes are ever the same, and all of the instructors are helpful and supportive. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great workout!

Have been going to CrossTown Fitness for a month now and am enjoying it very much. Great variety of exercises and always challenging yet instructors make it motivating. Would encourage others to check it out.

One of my favorite studios thus far. Every class is always so dynamic and challenging, but yet welcoming to all levels. I’ve tried a few studios around Lakeview East, but this one — while still a 15 min walk from me — takes the cake because it’s worth it.

This gym does a great job of pushing you outside your comfort zone with new moves, all sectioned in various stations. I love that it's different every time, and the variety of moves/timing/sets/repetitions makes the class go by so quickly. The instructors are knowledgeable and great at correcting form in a polite way. My only issue is that I do feel it's catered more to an experienced person when it comes to fitness. I sometimes have a hard time on some of the equipment specifically, like pull-ups with bands or various kettle bell moves that might feel awkward at first. They do show modifications, which is helpful. And it's great to be pushed past your current level, just more something to note if you are a beginner or not as experienced on an array of equipment and props.

This is a great gym with great culture from top down. The front desk staff treats you like they have known you forever. The workouts are also spot on -- I always come out feeling great. The workouts are diverse so you will hit all muscle groups multiple times a week.

Katie Trueman

Total body workout classes are awesome! I leave those classes feeling like every part of my body has been worked, and I'm dripping in sweat. It's great to have someone push you for an hour instead of me dilly dallying around a gym by myself trying to figure out how to push myself and end up avoiding pushing myself. Instructors are great and it's a very welcoming, non-intimidating place

Juanita Andersen

22:12 13 Oct 18

I was so nervous before my first class, but the staff and teacher were so welcoming and helpful. I’ve gone 7 times in my first two weeks, and I definitely feel a difference in my body. I love how the workouts change every class, and now I’ve gotten to the point where I’m excited before each class. Highly recommend!

Crosstown fitness I did on a slight whim. I knew I wanted to get in better shape for a big trip coming up, but didn't know how much I'd like it. I really loved it. The instructors are both kind and patient. I've asked how to deadlift maybe 7x and they always patiently explain it. Really glad this place exists.

Been taking classes at CrossTown Fitness for a week or so (I found it through ClassPass) and they're awesome! Learn how to use lots of different equipment and exercises with friendly and knowledgeable trainers. Good for all levels - just choose the weight that's right for you. Go check it out!

I'm hooked. I'm a runner first, but have found adding a weekly CrossTown fitness class to my routine has improved my race performance, fitness, and physique. The offer a great balance of upper body, lower body, and core, and the variety keeps them enjoyable and challenging. Caullen Hudson in particular also does an excellent job of keeping everyone in good form and making sure we get the most out of the workouts. Love the soundtrack too.

Great gym with a variety of exercises. The trainers are super friendly and helpful. You don’t have to be a size 2 to go here. While there are a ton of fit people that go here there is an exercise for everyone’s level and no one makes you feel out of place! Been going for over a year now!

I love CTF! There's no other gym in Chicago that makes me look forward to working out so much. The trainers are super helpful and encouraging. I'm hooked!

Love going to CTF! If you go consistently you will see results quickly. What I love about it is that they really allow you to go at your own pace, but are really great at encouraging you to push yourself. Stephanie and Liu are my two favorite coaches. They play the best music and they are also really great motivators. I definitely get the best workout in their classes because they make me want to challenge myself.

Joanne Tabor

03:57 14 Mar 19

Couldn't recommend this place more! I felt comfortable immediately. It is an amazing atmosphere and you really get a great work out every time you go. The workouts are different each time, so it goes by quickly and you never get bored.

Brendon Swisher

14:36 20 Mar 19

Did a few trial classes and really liked it. Definitely different from any other class I have done in the past. I love how they switch it up and every class is different. Recently signed up full time and could not be happier with that decision.

I love CTF it’s one of the best workouts. Great energy and great staff, and the facilities are always super clean too. It’s one of those workouts that makes you want to come back unlike other gyms.

CTF Lakeview has been the perfect place to jumpstart a new workout routine. Challenging classes are made fun and fast with welcoming staff and a group of people that are just as nice. It has been a community that I am happy to now be part of!

I would like to preface that one of my brothers owns a successful gym out in Naperville and I have been hard-pressed to encounter the same environment, enthusiasm, and approach he provides at his gym but I think I found the closest second in CrossTown Fitness. I've known about this place for a while but was on the fence about joining as I had flushed several dollars down the can on OTF without ever feeling eager for my workouts and getting into the facility is 80% of the battle. I also always noticed the energy from CTF as I strolled by with my pooch and finally my curiosity got the best of me. My first HIIT class was yesterday with Tom (something compelled me to go to Groupon, I hadn't been on Groupon since I deemed their emails "spam" years ago but there was a Groupon deal I couldn't pass up) and I knew from the second I stepped inside that I was where I was supposed to be!I was greeted by the gym manager, Jessica, and a cute little sign that said "Welcome Katie", it was a nice touch. Jessica gave me an excellent description of the space, what is offered, and was just generally inviting.I was a bit nervous for the 6:30 class to start, our class was huge and I was impressed with how well the space was used to accommodate everyone, not once did I feel cramped. Tom was great! He wasn't an obnoxious coach shouting so loudly into his microphone one could barely understand what he was saying, he knew how to keep the motivation amped, and knew when to add extra encouragement at the sight of dwindling energy. I'd also like to add that his playlist helped a ton! No cheesy high school EDM or poorly remixed classics over a tacky commercial beat. The stations were challenging and easy to revise should anyone (like me) need to and there were 10 of them so nothing felt blandly repetitive. It was an incredibly thought out and executed HIIT class and I'm so proud of myself for making it through...*side note: for a person who is accustomed to being fit, falling out of shape can be intensely demotivating but instead of focusing on how out of shape I had become during my first class, it was easy to regain the excitement gained during a workout! The class and environment are things I've missed since moving away from my brother's gym long ago and everything just fit. I'm actually excited again to be part of a "fit-fam" for lack of a better term...To wrap up a rather long-winded review, go to CTF. Even if you take just one class, it'll prove to you how capable you are and may ignite something inside you didn't know or forgot you had!

I love this gym. The workouts are always different, the coaches are friendly and I’ve seen great results. It’s my calm at the end of the day because I’m able to relieve stress and have a nice hour where I can’t think about anything. Very happy I signed up and joined the community.

This is one of the best gym experiences I’ve had in Chicago. The classes are amazing, the instructors are great. The workouts can be pretty intense but it’s also acceptable to go at your own pace, which I love. The facilities are always very clean as well, which is great. 10/10 would recommend

Love this place! I'm happy that a gym like this opened in Roscoe Village. It makes it very convenient to attend before and after work. The classes are always very high-energy, challenging, and well-organized, too, which keeps me coming back :)

I have been looking for a challenging and scalable full body HIIT studio in the Lincoln Park/Lakeview area since moving north from downtown. CrossTown has been so amazing. The classes are tough, but exercises can be easily modified to match your strength. The instructors and facilities are also 10/10 too.

Lori Mitchell

14:12 19 Nov 19

If I lived closer to a CTF, I would gladly adjust my budget to make this gym my home gym. I love the coaches and the gym. it's such a good workout and a great community. The coaches reach out to you personally after every workout, which makes me feel special. If you ever open a Logan location, I'm joining in a heartbeat!

I love CTF! The 5am classes are perfect for my busy schedule and all the instructors are great. They are attentive and help guide me to make sure I am doing the exercises correctly to avoid injury. Every class is different (and not a lot of burpees!!) and they encourage you to push yourself (safely!!) to make the most of class. Steven is great, is quick to respond with any questions or concerns regarding membership and it's many perks.
