We have a wonderful instructor. The workout is challenging and does not make me look for an emergency room after each class. The rates are great. The space very nice and well-equipped. We clean all the items we use and can wear a mask.

CrossFit Paradox is the first CrossFit gym I have worked out in. I visited one other CrossFit gym before visiting and ultimately choosing CrossFit Paradox. Why did I ultimately choose CrossFit Paradox? It wasn't a single thing that made me choose it, it was literally everything that made me choose it!! For starters the gym itself is well kept and clean and everyone is friendly. It is a place of acceptance and growth. You come as you are and are supported and encouraged on your fitness journey. As a young woman with a physical handicap I will tell you that this is HUGE!! With my physical limitations I wasn't sure if I would be successful at CrossFit but I wanted to give it a try. I met with JR who is director of training and we came up with a plan, he showed me I could do pretty much everything with just a little adjustment here and there. JR's knowledge of all things CrossFit, how the body moves, and how to adapt things for each individual is amazing!! CrossFit Paradox single handedly opened a whole new world to me that I wasn't sure was possible and to me that is EVERYTHING!

I trialed 2 other crossfits. This one is by far my favorite. They are organized with the free class process. They work to make sure you have proper form. Even see them doing it with members who have been going for a while. Ali and katie are great, they make you feel welcome and enjoy what they do. Good music, good environment and great coaches!

Being a member for the past 4 months. I’ve had a great time meeting new people and getting through fun WODs. The coaches give great advice, and work through needed movements each day.

The week trial on Groupon certainly helped make my decision to try Paradox out, but I liked it so much I've been a member for nearly a year now. The coaches know what they're talking about, and you always get in a great workout!

Awesome box with great programming! When I moved to the area over a year ago I was nervous switching boxes, but paradox made me feel right at home. The members and coaches are so friendly and always willing to help!

Crossfit Paradox truly has something for everyone. Whether you have been doing crossfit for years or you want to try it for the first time, this gym is so welcoming. I went to my first class in June after purchasing a Groupon, and I was kind of intimidated. Everyone around me seemed stronger and more fit! But I was immediately hooked. Allie and Katie walk the beginners through every move and know how to push you to just the right level. Plus, the other members are always giving each other words of support and praise. Definitely a SUPPORTIVE community. Plus, the workouts are challenging but fun. I highly recommend Crossfit Paradox!

Joining Paradox 10 months ago has pulled me out of my soccer playing and distance running comfort zone in the best way possible. I've become a better overall athlete thanks to the great and patient coaches and challenging workouts.

I’m new to CrossFit. I like the workouts. Staffs and members are welcoming and supportive. I’ve never felt so strong and energetic. I like the feeling of going home all sweaty (sometimes shaky) it feels like I really did something intense. Members has varied fitness levels so you’ll not feel left out. Will definitely stick around.

I joined Crossfit Paradox in April and it has been the best decision I've ever made. I joined because I gained a lot of weight the previous year and was looking for guidance in implementing a healthier lifestyle. I was extremely scared and felt intimidated when I first walked into the gym because it seemed like everyone had a six pack and could lift my body weight over their heads repeadetly. I was quickly greeted and assured that they could modify anything to my ability level and that everyone was friendly, encouraging, and motivating- I was skeptical about all of that because of prior experiences in gyms. I still signed up for their free class and figured that if I made a complete fool of myself, they'd never have to see me again. I made a complete fool of myself during the first session, however, everyone kindly reminded me that they had similar first day experiences when they began and that I should keep doing it because I could only get better if I continued. I continued and got a membership. I am now 30 lbs. lighter and healthier. I've also gained muscle. When I first began, I had 98 lbs. of muscle in my body and as of September, I have 112 lbs of muscle. I didn't do this alone. These results are because of the amazing support from every member. I've never, in my entire life, had a group of people cheer me on when I'm finishing last, until I came to Crossfit Paradox. I've had members sit, stand, and run next to me and encourage me to push through when I was ready to give up. These people and this place are amazing and if you're thinking about taking a dive in crossfit, come here! You will not be disappointed. The prices are very competitive in comparison with other places, and they offer introductory classes which are truly helpful. The owner is welcoming and he, and his amazing coaches, will make your body do things you didn't know it could do!

This CrossFit place is a true gem in Downers Grove. The trainers are A+ grade, the facility is spacious enough to get quality work and the overall atmosphere is by far one of the best. I highly recommend this place to people who are serious about bringing their workout routine to another level.

I purchased a Groupon in June for CrossFit Paradox to try CrossFit for the first time. I haven't been an athlete in 25 years and was hesitant because of the reputation of CrossFit as a "Bro" mentality, and high risk of injury.

I chose Paradox over other boxes because rather than a completely separate program for beginners, they have beginner classes mixed with more experienced athletes. It is inspiring when people tell you at the end of class how far they have come. The coaches are amazing! They are helpful, knowledgeable and give you a realistic perspective on what you should be doing, focusing on form and range of motion over weight and PR's. A month and a half in I was injured(not related to CrossFit) and they helped me modify my workouts and made special accommodations so I wouldn't have to stop. It was awesome!

If you are thinking of trying CrossFit, I highly recommend checking them out. It is a great, positive, and friendly environment and a great place to workout. I also recommend the Pee-Wee classes for kids. My seven year old loves the gym, the coaches, and workouts. He does not like team sports and this has been an amazing experience for him! Coach is amazing with the kids, and has the patience of a saint. One of the best gym experiences I have ever had.

New to crossfit . After two years of having back surgery I was afraid to start working out again. The instructors took the time to show me modifications when or where I needed it. They do offer a class for beginners but I will say ALL the classes i have attended not only do the instructors make me feel comfortable but those participating in the class encourage and support one another. Not only is it a great workout but it allows you to workout at your own level .

I have been a member of Crossfit Paradox for over three years now. I can't say enough about how great both the staff and other members are. They keep the workouts varied and intense but make sure it is manageable for all skill levels. They are always hosting events and encouraging members to make the most out of the experience. In a busy world this gym has helped me get into the best shape of my life and still look forward to going to the gym as much as I can.

I used to do Crossfit about 2 years ago and fell off the wagon. As a female, Crossfit can be pretty intimidating to start (for me anyway). I can easily get discouraged to even walk in the door. Not at Paradox though. The classes I went to had two female coaches that were not only positive and encouraging, they broke all the lifts and moves down at the beginning of each class (and work with you individually if you are still not feeling great about it.) Ali’s energy is amazing! And Katie always seems to have an eye on you should she need to tell you to make corrections. I’d recommend this box to anyone, whether you are new to Crossfit or experienced. It’s a comfortable group and I look forward to working out now.

The synergy built from performing difficult workout with others was rewarding.

Crossfit Paradox rekindled my desire to workout, and reminded me that I can achieve a desired physique.

As a father to 4 kiddos all under the age of 9 -- my time is precious! I'm able to come in and train with high intensity and high efficiency, giving me the max results I need, under one-hour. Led by seasoned trainers and a great team environment, makes CrossFit Paradox a natural choice.
