Let me preface that I’m not looking to get anything free out of this review. I honestly was super excited to drop in here while in town for work. I showed up early to a 6am class and honestly was made to feel I was invading the regular member’s normal space. Also the coach was the last person to show up and never introduced himself to me the whole time. He was also on his phone texting throughout the duration of the workout. No coaching tips/advice given the whole time. I’m mainly there to get a workout, don’t get me wrong. I just feel with CrossFit as a whole being a lot about community and with the drop in fee I paid, I expected to get better customer service than I received. Probably will go elsewhere next time I’m in town.

Solid crossfit gym with amazingly approachable instructors and workout routines. As someone new to crossfit, I felt welcomed and at home. Trainers adjusted things for me and helped me with form. There seems to be a great community among the members. Def coming back on my next visit to Chicago.

My go-to, drop-in spot whenever I’m in the Windy City! No frills, no nonsense spot with easy drop-in instructions and everything you need to maintain (and improve! 🥵) your fitness while away. Coach Jason is friendly and made me feel comfortable hopping right in my first few times. Today, owner Adam immediately recognized a stranger and introduced himself. Members like Kaitlyn will share their barbell with you! Coach Jeremy will even coach your snatch on the fly if it sucks like mine.
Have never had an issue parking on Wells or Erie if you’re not in walking distance like me. Thanks RNCF, I’ll be back. 🙂

I've been doing Crossfit for 15 years, and I have been a member of several CrossFit gyms at various locations in the past....River North Crossfit is one of the best Crossfit gyms I have ever been a member of.

All of the coaches are knowledgeable and helpful when it comes to technique, scaling etc. They have all helped me to improve and get better and stronger.

The community is awesome as well!

I would highly recommend River North Crossfit!

Everything you would want in a Crossfit gym!

As a former crossfitter (and ex-pro athlete) about 10 years ago, thinking about getting back into the game was quite intimidating. This fam here at River North Crossfit made me feel welcome and has pushed me effectively to see results while also keeping me safe with form.

One of the largest hesitations I see from folks that join new gyms is thinking about if you will "fit in" or not. From day one this crew has been nothing but warm and welcoming. No one has felt too "big time" to ask questions or even to not load up weight. I've seen countless folks come in who are brand new to even traveling groups of pro crossfitters who are just in town for a drop in before a competition. Everyone is met where they're at and the instructors clearly value creating a custom program for each athlete.

I've been constructively corrected on form to assure that I'm staying injury free and have made friends (that I plan to keep) for a lifetime 😉 There is an even weighting of women, to men, to all genders and as a member of multiple minority communities, I have always felt safe here. Glad that River North Crossfit has taken me in this way.

Aside from feelings and the fluffy stuff - here are some of the more granular gym specific details:
1. there are men's and women's showers/locker rooms in the back that all are welcome to use
2. this location is right off the brown line but I personally take the metra in to work and have a very short walking commute from my office. It's central to everything
3. workouts wise, this gym is equipped with plenty of space for classes large and small & we even have a SAFE opportunity to complete our run portion of some of the group classes outdoors around the surrounding blocks (yes, it's safe and rarely trafficked so you're not running into any bikes or even pedestrians that aren't completing their AMRAP with urgency 🏃‍♂️💨 🤗)
4. Coaches are all certified and are highly capable of providing modifications as necessary.
5. The social community is wonderful and allows for the "team" feel with lots of positive encouragement from those around me!

Hope this review helps if you're considering crossfit or even exercise in general! 😊

5/5 Drop-In experience!
My company was in town for a meeting and a group of us wanted to get in a morning workout. Contacted them since we had 9 people attending a random Wed 6AM WOD. They set us up as a group so registration/payment was simple. The class and the people were fun! All are welcome.

RNCF has been my first exposure to CrossFit and I couldn't have lucked into a better gym. The instructors are top notch - they always make sure you're comfortable with the movements prior to the workout, are approachable, and are genuinely invested in making sure you have your best workout every time you're in. Fellow classmates are extremely welcoming and supportive, and I would highly recommend a visit for anyone interested in CrossFit.

Walked in summer 2023 to try a few classes. Communicated with the owner that I was exploring and wanted to give it a try. 9 months later, I am now noticing a MONTHLY recurring $99 charge for a membership that I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR.

I am working with my bank to get this back but we're talking $900+ that I now have to chase down because someone decided to take advantage of the situation.

I did contact them directly and of course, they were defensive.

While I was there, I enjoyed the workout but Crossfit was not a fit for me.

But the business side of this is what really turns me off.

I was excited to drop in to River North CrossFit while at a conference. They are in a prime location near many hotels and I was excited to bring my CrossFit journey to a city I had lived in for years.

The facilities here are great. They have a lot of space to spread out and shower cubicles with lockers, and even some towels you can use as well. For a drop-in and someone on business, this was the perfect scenario.

The 6am WOD we did was good and they publish it on their website a week in advance, which I appreciate. It was definitely a lot involved that most of us did not finish within the hour, so most people seemed to leave right after the workout and skipped the strength section altogether. Our warm-up was fairly simple of just using the foam roller, so I recommend doing your own to get ready for the workout.

Drop-in was more on the expensive side. At $35 for a single day and $50 with a tee-shirt (which I opted since I forgot to pack a workout shirt), I definitely can't recommend it for complete beginners. The coach also never introduced themselves to me before we began but I felt he did a fine job leading the class.

Based on this impression, dropping in is fine if you are an intermediate-advanced Crossfitter, but I wouldn't recommend it for newcomers due to the limited coaching.

CrossFit river north has been a staple in my routine since moving to the neighborhood. The programming at this facility is among the most challenging I have yet to experience at my various CrossFit memberships over the years and has therefore allowed me to achieve my peak fitness (when my schedule allows for consistency). This facility has a great community of members of all skill levels. I would highly recommend dropping in and joining CrossFit River North (so long as you are ok with the condition of the floors). It is a great place to take your fitness journey to the highest possible level and even make some friends along the way!

Locker room has showers and towels available, if needed. Easy to sign up online beforehand and even had t-shirts available with a cool logo. 😎

I just completed my second workout at River North CrossFit. The owner Adam greeted me kindly the first time I stepped in the Gym. He remembers everyone's name, and has even made the extra effort to introduce me to other members of the gym. Very relaxed and welcoming.

Both of my workouts have been with coach Andy. He is technically proficient in the movements we have done so far, and gave me some very helpful advisement on improving my Olympic lifts. I feel that he does a good job making rounds to everyone during the workout, and giving a good amount of coaching/motivating. I particularly like that when he is coaching, it feels like he is really trying to help you. I also noticed that when he is coaching he is talking TO you as opposed to AT you, which I very much appreciate.

The facilities are clean (locker rooms, showers, etc.). It feels so good to finally start working out again. Based on the results of other gym members, and the two workouts I have done so far, I am expecting awesome results in my physical fitness. If you want to get in shape I would definitely recommend River North CrossFit.

Great Crossfit gym. Tim was very professional, I likes that the mobilisation was part of the ore WOD. Constant checking of good form and good scaling of exercises. Nice idea to also include a post WOD stretching routine. I'd definitely come back again! Great service before I even arrived in Chicago, with good responses to my emails and the online sign up.

Beyond amazing!!! I was in Chicago for a seminar last weekend and wanted to drop-in to keep up with my 4x/week WOD schedule. RNCF was very close to my hotel. I've only been crossfitting for about a month and Coach Chris was super accommodating and helpful! He helped me scale everything based on my experience and my bad knee.

Their women's locker rooms are girl-heaven!! They were clean and had everything you would need to get showered and on your way fresh and clean. :) I was very impressed with the fact they had a towel service, toiletries, a blow dryer and even plastic bags for your dirty clothes. They even had a giant container of q-tips! What more could a woman need?!

Some people complained about the drop-in fee --- quit boohooing! You can't expect to get this quality of a box and facilities and pay next to nothing for dropping in. Plus, they have classes every hour practically. The convenience of that is worth a ton! They offer a discount on the drop-in if you purchase a t-shirt too, which helps build up your shirt collection.

I would definitely come back here next time I visit Chicago! Thanks again RNCF for being so welcoming to a drop-in!

I have visited a couple different CrossFit gyms and this was definitely the best one I've been to. The place was huge and as is the case with most CrossFit gyms, the people were extremely fit and the competition level for the class was great. The staff was very friendly and helpful, I can't wait to go back!

I visited RNCF out of guilt of eating like a champ for two days on my Mancation so I decided to run a few miles to the box and give it a whirl. I loved it, it was crossfit through and through, small a lil cramped and a bunch of good looking over enthusiatic people lol. Everyone was friendly and for me thats was a first, I am from chicago but dont live there anymore and most of the time when I come back I find the people not so friendly. From now on when I do come back I will make this my home away from home box to sneek in a WOD.

A great box for both local people and those of us visiting Chicago on occasion. Katie (the owner) is awesome and she has a "but a t-shirt for a drop in" policy...which I love. She even let me come in twice. I dropped in for a morning workout directly from the airport (red eye flight) and was able to WOD and shower before a 9am meeting. Super connivence if you are working/staying in the loop or river north. The facility is great and the coach I had (Ben) was very good.

I'd highly recommend for people visiting and local people in Chicago looking for a great box.

While visiting from NC thought it would be good to drop in for a WOD. Andy runs a great crossfit facility - great instruction, great equipment, and great facilities. All of you that are members are fortunate. All of you that aren't members should be.
