I dropped in today and met Coach Sarah! She was super welcoming/accommodating. The gym has everything you need and is super convenient if you’re coming in from the airport. If I’m ever back in Chicago, I’ll drop back in!

I've been a member of CrossFit HH for about 6 weeks, and I can't believe how much I love the workouts and the fitness gains I've made already! The coaches are phenomenal! They are caring and attentive, and truly supportive, especially for someone like me who is a newbie to CrossFit. The members are welcoming and bring such a positive vibe and energy to each class. They are several class times to suit a busy schedule and the facility is great. I'm so happy to be part of this amazing fitness community!

I am not a ‘gym person’, but working with CrossFit harwood heights has given me a confidence to use equipment in a way that is simple and clear. I’ve found that I really enjoy the workout and feel that I have a growing confidence that I could do this by myself. For me, this aspect of training is so important, as I’ve never really wanted to exercise. Now it seems to be a natural and growing part of me.

I found Hayley coaching style excellent. She really listened to me and made me feel completely differently about training.Hayley has given me the tools to want to exercise independently and enjoy it. Something I never thought could happen.

I would wholeheartedly recommend cross fit harwood heights to everyone and in fact already have. specially coach Hayley She is kind, thoughtful and really tries to understand the person she is training. Empowering them to get the best out of themselves.

One great thing about coach Hayley is that she never judges you. She has this amazing way of making you reflect and come out with answers that are truthful and positive. coach Hayley is very inclusive and tries to understand why the person feels the way they do about training, and tackle that. It is actually liberating.

I highly recommend CrossFit Harwood Heights to anyone looking for a new fitness challenge! I arrived at this location with no prior CrossFit experience but had no problem participating in the classes. All of the instructors take time to demonstrate the lifts with you to make sure you feel comfortable and prepared. I’ve found the group of regulars to be extremely welcoming and are very patient with new members. I would describe the classes as, you get out of it what you put into it. They are challenging and motivating. No class is identical. I’ve really enjoyed my time so far. Highly recommend!

Really loved this gym and its community. Their classes are exciting and really pushed me. At the same time its very achievable, so I think it’s great for a wide range of people. I would have continued if they had lower monthly rates but I truly believe you’re also getting a fun community and a deeper reason to be consistent. It adds a fun element to your day for sure

I made it to my 4th week and just love this place! Shout out to all the coaches that I've met so far, Matt, Mary, Kat, Vanessa, both Steve's and sweet little Tux. They are highly trained and their main focus is making sure you are doing the moves correctly before adding weight. I felt comfortable on my very first day and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get started with Crossfit. Plus, the 5:30am-ers rock!

This is such a great place. Everyone is so kind and so helpful. The trainers are very friendly and approachable. They have a lot of programs to offer. So take the time and ask about which one would work for you. I’m generally a very shy and awkward/nervous person and I always feel comfortable coming in. If you are serious about wanting to get in shape, and get stronger/better endurance I recommend this place. It’s not an overwhelming environment and the owners/coaches really are here to help. They have always gotten back quickly to me via email/text. They took the time to explain everything and not make me feel like I’m being rushed.

Gym is clean, coaches are fantastic, the owners are very professional and courteous. Staff all around are well trained and answered all my questions. Well versed in CrossFit. As a first timer myself, they took the time to work with me one on one, until I felt comfortable with the training. If you’re looking for a CrossFit gym on the NW side, or anywhere for that matter, look no further! This place is absolutely fantastic…. You’ll be sore, but that just means it’s working! I highly recommend. Great for first timers and pros alike! This place is awesome!

I’ve been coming to this gym for about 6 months and it has made such a difference. The coaches are wonderful, helpful and motivating. The community of people I’ve met are awesome; no negativity, intimidation or rudeness. Everyone cheers each other on to finish and shares tips on improving movement. I cannot recommend this gym enough!

Hands down the best gym I’ve had the opportunity to train at. The coaches are top notch and extremely proficient in what they’re teaching. The gym itself is extremely clean and user friendly. As CrossFit gyms go, I feel that the level of community set forth by this gym is second to none. Extremely first responder friendly, which is a huge plus. Definitely recommend this gym and staff to anybody seeking to up their fitness game.

CFHH has completely changed my outlook on working out and fitness. I was going to commercial gyms during peak times and wasn’t feeling fulfilled with my workouts. After starting CrossFit, I have been looking forward to coming to this gym and have met so many helpful coaches/members. With CrossFit being new to me, I didn’t know what to expect and after 3 months I feel confident because of the support from the coaches. It’s a great feeling being around other people who are pushing you to be better and stronger. The environment is addicting and you will see and feel results from the work you are putting in here! Coming from someone with no prior CrossFit experience, I highly recommend trying CFHH!

I started at CFHH in 2017, because i was having some issues with an old knee injury and needed to rehab it. The coaches at CFHH have always been very knowledgeable and supportive. Nowadays my legs are significantly stronger and much of my pain has gone away.

The structured programming helps alot because, being a father of three kids, I dont have alot of time for exercise preparation. I just need to show up and after the hour class, it never fails I am beat from the WOD.

The group classes are the best part because everyone is pushing each other through it. It reminds me of high school sports practice abd it makes it easier to power through as a team. Definitely would recommend to drop in and check it out.

All the coaches pay close attention to the equipment you’re using to make sure it’s used the proper way. Specially at my age when some of the workouts have to be modified. I highly recommend it.

Had a chance to drop in here due to a layover and it was great. Very close to O'Hare Airport in a suburby part of Chicago. Box had plenty of space for me despite my late email, and it seemed I could do my own thing or join the class (opted for the latter cause duh). Tara was very attentive to all members and the workout was well structured and well coached. Highly recommend if you're in the area.
