Love this place! The coaches are so nice and they make the workouts fun. The space is perfect for the gym too, big enough to hold class and even a semi private area when running is scheduled. If you are in the area and looking for a place to drop in, this is the spot! Scott, the owner is a nice to work with too; really friendly and helpful.

Crossfit Des Plaines is a great gym! They offer both crossfit and hyrox workouts/ programming! The space is huge! I loved that they had 2 air runners and lots of ski ergs! Of course they are fully equipped with all the equipment you needed! The coach and community was awesome and the music was great! Highly recommend dropping in!! Thank you CF DP!

Been attending a little over a month. I was welcomed by everyone and didn't feel out of place even though I didn't know what I was doing. The classes offer me modifications as I get stronger. Love it here! Coaches teach and push me to be better everyday

Amazing gym in Des Plaines, IL. From my first class I felt welcomed and comfortable not having a CrossFit background. The trainers and other clients are all really nice and helpful. This gym has a great mix of age ranges and men and women which is a plus. In just 3 months I've seen incredible results and met some great people.

I definitely would never imagine myself doing high intensity training, much less something like crossfit LOL. If there is a better place, I wouldn't know either, but for sure I can say I enjoy going to Crossfit Des Plaines. Great community, coaches, equipment, encouragement... do you need anything else?
If you're unsure, give it a try, I have plenty of confidence you'll like it 😉

Location on point, coaches on point, Scott (owner) is super helpful and kind. Highly recommend : )

Started CrossFit for the first time with CrossFit Des Plaines and it has been completely worth it. Carl has been a great coach, ensuring I am learning proper technique and progressing. There are a lot of classes to fit with varying schedules. The community is really friendly. The location is convenient.

Having had to close down my own CrossFit business in Elk Grove Village last year, I can beyond a shadow of a doubt say that Scott, the owner, and his community are more than just a gym. They are practically family now and it’s just been a few months. The coaches care - I mean, REALLY care. They’re an amazing support system as well as the members themselves. I admire all of their progress and would recommend this gym to anyone in Des Plaines and the surrounding areas!

Dropped in today for the first time at CrossFit Des Plaines with my 5:15pm crew from Get Fit EGV | CrossFit Elk Grove Village and I will tell you that this place will definitely be a home away from home for me personally as I get back into training again. Unfortunately, I had to close the doors over the holidays at Get Fit, but Scott the owner was so welcoming to my members and Coach Molly was great at meeting everyone where they were today for the workout. They even have an over 50's class! LOVE THIS. This is a solid community and one of the better CrossFit gyms in the area I would have to say from my personal experiences with the gyms around Elk Grove Village, Des Plaines, Arlington Heights, Itasca, Roselle and even in Schaumburg. Thank you CFPD! Looking forward to 2024 <3

Dropped in over Christmas for a week when visiting from London and was a fantastic experience. Came to open gym for a week and got to use all top class equipment for weightlifting and also Hyrox training. Scott (CFDP owner) was super accommodating and incredibly friendly. Loved training here and already looking forward to the next visit to Des Plaines :)

What an amazing experience I had with CrossFit Des Plaines. The first class I took I felt like I was part of the family. Everyone was so incredibly kind and helpful, they welcomed me with open arms. Walked me through techniques, proper form, educated me on different movements and was there to help anyway possible. I will forever be grateful for the experience here. Can’t wait to cross paths again one day.

CrossFit has changed my life! Most importantly this community has been my biggest motivation. I absolutely LOVE all the coaches and how attentive they are to everyone in class. Coach Carl who I see most often due to my schedule has given me a new perspective on health and really sees potential in his students even if you’re struggling to see it in yourself. I feel strong and more confident in myself. Going on 1.5 years of consistent workouts; I can’t remember the last activity I stuck to this long. Worth the investment!!

Was in the area visiting family and finally decided to stop being scary and do some drop in classes. Did my googles and found CrossFit Des Plaines. Read a ton of really good reviews and did 3 classes over the week I was visiting. Like anything else, there’s always a chance that going to a different gym could always present a completely different experience, but CFDP did not disappoint! Their coaches are extremely knowledgeable and much like their members, were very welcoming! You always hear about the CF community, but don’t necessarily get a chance to experience different gyms. CFDP gave me the exact same vibe that my gym gives me and reminds me why I love CF so much. They’re just a group of everyday people of every walk of life. Every different age, race, social status, etc. coming in and busting their butts to be better than they were when they walked through that door and cheer you on as you do the same! If you’re going to be in the Des Plaines area and are needing a CF affiliate to drop into or live in the area are looking for a CF gym to join, I’d highly recommend checking out CFDP! I’m glad to know that from now on, when I’m visiting family, I have a CF gym to stay consistent when I’m on vacation! Scott and Carl were amazing during my drop-ins! Hats off to you fellas and the rest of your team! Gyms like yours continue to give people the TRUE CF experience! And shoutout to all of your members for making my nephew (who just might become a member now) and I feel right at home! 5*’s across the board! #HWPO

I joined CF DP for 3 months to get stronger for boxing/bjj. I took the AM classes ~3/week. It was a great experience. The coaches were knowledgeable and friendly. The coaches knew when to push me and when to recommend I dial it back. Progressed steadily during my time there thanks to the coaches. I ultimately ended up investing in my own gym equipment, but would recommend CF DP to anyone that's interested in CF or weightlifting.

CrossFit Des Plainss was an amazing place for me to get into CrossFit. Coach Carl’s individual introduction sessions made sure I started with good form and got me more comfortable with all the lifts. All the coaches are incredible and make the workouts tough and fun while proving modifications for any injury’s etc. that you need. My husband and I made so many friends here it was hard to leave when we moved away!

After years of inactivity I was trying to find a sport that would motivate me to get back into action. I found a lifestyle and a family at Crossfit Des Plaines. All coaches are extremely well prepared and exceptionally knowledgable! Most importantly, they all know how to actually COACH! I cannot stress how important that is! In 2 years of crossfit I did not get hurt once. I would recommend anyone who is trying to get moving to visit this amazing place!

I dropped in because I was in the area visiting my family. It’s a great gym. Good coaches, good atmosphere, good programming, I really enjoyed it here.
I should also mention that I had contacted at least 3 other gyms in the area about dropping in, and not only did Scott answer me immediately, he was the ONLY one who answered me at all.
I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in town.

I came in as a total newbie to this lifestyle, and even though it was intimidating to come in for that first workout, it's been so great. Everyone is so kind and non-judgmental, the coaches push you to improve while showing you how to stay safe, and the group format of classes is fantastic. New or seasoned, you'll be covered in sweat at the end!

I started doing cross fit about three months ago, with no background or experience, and found that CFDP was the best place for me to learn about the sport. All of the coaches and staff members were extremely knowledgeable, making the classes fun, engaging, encouraging, and non-judgmental. The coaches are always willing to provide constructive feedback to improve technique/form, and fostering encouragement to continue building on the growing skillset. The gym space is wide, allowing yourself enough space in which to do the exercises without bumping into your fellow classmates. Would highly recommend this gym based on the coaches, staff, location in Des Plaines, and size/capacity of the gym itself.

CrossFit Des Plaines is one of the first gyms I ever wanted to go to consistently. It has a great community, the newer facilities are on par with the national standard, but most importantly, it has an amazing staff. The blend of people at CFDP is phenomenal. With a background of nutritionists, weight lifters, coaches, marathon athletes, healthcare professionals, and all around amazing trainers this branch has something to offer for all athletes from all walks of life, and all levels of experience. If you are on the edge of deciding between CFDP and a typical gym, come here first and try it out.

CrossFit Des Plaines is so much more than a gym. It’s a community that welcomes you as you are from the moment you step foot through their door. It’s coaches that are always advancing their fitness/nutrition education to better serve you and your important goals. It’s a gym that has a place for everyone; kids, 55+, beginners, elite, pregnant/postpartum, medical diagnoses, and so on! As a coach and an athlete at CFDP, I can attest to the amazing and skilled services this gym provides and I truly enjoy spending my time here! You’ll want to be a part of it!

I had such a lovely time dropping in over the holidays. All the members and coaches were friendly and inviting. The wods were exactly what I needed - a no nonsense, good, hard workout.
If you've been training for a while or are brand new to CrossFit, I'd recommend giving this place a go. Can't wait to drop in next time im in town.

As a Chiropractor I have patients that need strengthening and nutrition advice that CrossFit in Des Plaines is able to provide. Not all CrossFit gyms are the same and none compare to what CrossFit Des Plaines can offer. They are able to tailor the workouts and advice per what is needed for the client. The coaches over there are top notch in their field and will help you with your goals. If it is weight loss to strength training to whatever your reason they truly are your team.

Having been around CrossFit since 2009 and been involved in boxes in Kansas City and Minneapolis, I consider myseld qualified to say this is a top tier box. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable but more than that they coach with passion and great care. This is a box that caters to ALL LEVELS whether that be a newbie, a baby boomer who is looking to prevent strength loss or a seasoned veteran. Do not think twice, call them...it will change your life.

Facility is very well maintained, and packed with all the equipment you need for a workout. From warm ups to WODs, you can tell how much time and detail is put into each of these aspects to help everyone not only achieve their fitness goals, but to also minimize injury through the journey. Coaching staff is very knowledgeable, and has all the answers for any questions you may have for them. If you’re in town for a short period of time, O’hare is a short distance away from this location as well. Well worth checking out!

Finally got motivated to do a crossfit day, and not sure why I didn't do it sooner!!! If you haven't been and are maybe feeling little intimidated like I was at first, rest assured your in for a great time!!! I loved even though there were other people working out with you, you were only competing with yourself!! Having options of how hard you wanted to challenge your self but still having a coach (Scott was ours that day) giving you pointers along the way!!! will be doing more classes in the future!!!

Such an awesome experience! I have never done CrossFit before and honestly was nervous- I have never considered myself as a strong person, or much for weight lifting. The classes have something for literally every level, and you really make it as hard for your own self as possible. Scott ran our class and he was super nice and helpful, if there was something I could be doing differently he was so nice about it, to help me get a better work out. I never felt like I was doing better or worse than anyone, and it was SUCH a great work out! Will definitely be going back!

Great place to spend an hour a day! It's truly on one of the highlights of my day. The owner really cares about the members and listens to what everyone needs and offers what we need. Nutritional coaching is offered, as well as Olympic lifting classes, seminars and extra classes to learn skills if you want to increase your knowledge. The coaches are all top notch, and really care about you and strive to keep you safe, scale or alter a workout to adjust to your ability, and everyone is so encouraging. The members of Crossfit Des Plaines really are a group of great people and they welcome you in with open arms as a newcomer. Check it out!

CrossFit Des Plaines is a great place to be whether you're a beginner athlete just looking for a life style change to be a healthier, better version of yourself, or an advanced athlete looking to take the next level. Whatever the case, this place will get you to reach goals you thought may not have been possible through directions from dedicated coaches and a supportive/motivating community of members.

Crossfit Des Plaines is the perfect combination of community, coaching, and programming. Coach Scott's programming is specifically developed to challenge the advanced athlete and be scaleable/accessible to the new athlete. Each coach keeps and eye out for form and an an ear out for the goals of each individual member. There are awesome extras (such as spot on nutrition coaching and skills camps/gymnastics accessory work) offered at CFDP. It's super close to O'Hare airport too....No better place to be!

Coach Scott Pecucci assured me 3 years ago when he took me under his wing that I could do CrossFit. Me! An out of shape, busy working-mother of 3, could do CrossFit. Scott sat down with me and we talked about my fitness goals.
I now am in my 3rd year of CrossFit and love it. The one hour classes make it manageable for a working parent. Scott and the coaches at CrossFit DesPlaines are very knowledgeable about functional fitness and keeping their members healthy.
This gym understands that not every member walking in is an elite athlete, and treat you as an individual. Your goals and path are supported and followed by the coaches which allows you to meet your goals and then make new ones!
You should drop in for a class. You will love it!

I went for my first workout at CrossFit Des Plaines without much knowledge about CrossFit. The usual stigma about group workout is not being able to keep up with the other participants, though this establishment was extremely accommodating. I never felt that my individual performance was not good enough or that I hindered the other folk for the workout. I strongly recommend you pay a visit to CrossFit Des Plaines if you are looking to improve your fitness in an encouraging setting.
