Dropped in for a WOD at CrossFit Competitive Edge – Uptown and had an awesome experience. I worked out with Neil and walked away with some of the best tips I’ve ever gotten on snatching. Snatching has always been one of my weaker movements, but after just ONE class, I felt like I had a much better handle on the technique.
The owner is super welcoming, the community vibe in class is fantastic, and everyone made it a lot of fun. Highly recommend giving this gym a try if you’re in Chicago!

I have been a part of the Competitive Edge community for about 6 months now, and I must say, my entire perspective on life has changed. As an adult, it’s always difficult to find a place where you can make friends and actually have them support you through your fitness journey and personal journey. CE has helped me grow in more ways than I could imagine.
You have tons of coaches: Neil, Cole, Savage, John B., and Charlie, guiding and supporting you each step of the way.
They have built a community that is welcoming to all athletes and a place I am truly happy to call home. I have recently hit a PR (personal record) in all of my movements this month and felt this review was long overdue. So thank you!

I've been a member of Competitive Edge Uptown for over two years. The coaches and community are fantastic. Everyone is supportive of each other, and the atmosphere makes working out together fun. The coaches are top-notch, keeping a watchful eye on everyone in classes while giving direction and encouragement to all. In addition to the traditional style CrossFit classes and culture, the gym offers specialized classes in Olympic weightlifting, functional bodybuilding, CrossFit style gymnastics, yoga, and endurance club. The partner style workouts on Saturday morning and endurance club workouts on Sunday are great at building camaraderie and teamwork. The gym keeps getting better under the owner Neil and the head coach Cole's direction. This gym has become like a second home and adds greatly to my quality of life.

This was a decent gym. Somehow one of the coaches there knew a coach from the previous gym who knew me. The coach listened to slander about me (he was manipulated into thinking a certain way about me based on someone else’s experiences)and somehow influenced other gym members to be rude to me based on accusations from the other coach at the previous gym. I found myself not feeling like I could be myself since I was already prejudged based off someone else’s opinion and experience of me which may or may not be true. The coach was rude to me and made jokes about what he thought my “gender” was even tho the gym was supposed to be “all inclusive “. Nine times out of ten the gender comments stemmed from the influence of the coaches from the last gym. So pretty much people were rude to me based on speculation so I quit… but other than that it’s an okay gym. Eventually someone will be sued…

Had a great experience! Did two drop in classes and the coaches (Laura, Cole) were super helpful and the people there were very nice. Neil was very easy to work with to setup the drop ins. If you’re in the area, check out this gym!

Can I say how much I am impressed my this business in Uptown. Great space. Excellent Owner and great staff!! Neil the owner is low key and no pressure. Cole one of the trainers is encouraging and has a whole lot of information in his head on how to achieve your goal, and ultimate goal too.
The only odd part for me. Not talking about money. Most gyms are so ready to take your money and then let you flounder. So Kudos!!
I got 3 days of orientation and a week free after that. Then my membership begins.
If you’re in Uptown. Well worth the time and IF you use it well worth the money.
