I absolutely love this gym. A medical restriction kept me out for a while, but what kept me encouraged was the personal attention they give, including weekly check-ins. The trainers make thoughtful tweaks to prevent injury, strengthen weaker areas, and stay aligned with your goals.
Imagine being unable to do any physical activity for months and still getting compliments on having a strong, defined back. That’s the level of coaching here. I owe that progress to the entire team, with a special shoutout to my trainer Alyssa, and to the owner, everyone’s hype man Jacob, whose commitment to your success is unmatched.
Highly recommend!

I have thoroughly enjoyed my journey to improved fitness with the crew of coaches at River City Fit: Jill, Jacob, Kevin and Alyssa. For three months now I have been going to this gem of a place working on building strength, muscle tone, and increasing my overall stamina. Alyssa, my personal trainer has been amazing to work with as she has a wealth of knowledge to impart, challenges me in all the right ways, and always within the bounds of physical safety. She is eternally positive and kind, and a relentless cheerleader. I would highly recommend RCF wherever you are on your journey to wellness, as the pros on staff will customize your personal fitness path and make it a truly wonderful and transformative experience. Lastly, it should be noted - and maybe most important - were the feelings I began to have of increased self empowerment as I achieved and reached the goals I’d set with Alyssa. There were big shifts in my mindset also: realizing now how most of life’s obstacles seem to get smaller the stronger my mind and body feel!!

The best gym I’ve ever been to! The coaches are amazing and motivating, always around to help you make small adjustments for big results. As a former college athlete I feel like I’m working out as an athlete again and the programming truly works. With a focus on injury prevention and correct movement this gym is ideal for anyone!

Everyone was really friendly and helpful. My trainer, Keith, is very knowledgeable and patient. He explained everything we did and why and was very encouraging. The facility is not large so it was quieter. I find larger gyms to be too noisy for me. All the equipment is in excellent condition and the space is very clean.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this gym and the trainers. I joined the gym with a very specific purpose - to overcome an injury that had stopped me from being able to run, and train to run the Chicago Marathon in a year and a half - a lofty goal to say the least. From my first session Jacob the owner was locked in and focused on helping me get there. All of the trainers are wonderfully attentive and helpful. I work primarily with Kevin, who is just the kindest, happy, funny, cheery trainer you could ask for (thank you for all of the 'coach talk' pep talks you've given me this year) and he was lovely about working with my inflexible schedule. That being said the other trainers in the gym - Alyssa, Jill, and Jacob - are all more than happy to provide tips, scalability advice, and provide spots or help either during a class or just while they are there. The other gym members are also wonderfully supportive and friendly, and the facility itself is clean, well maintained, and well equipped. I am going to miss the gym when I move, and I am so very grateful to River City Fit. I am now running longer distances than I've ever run in my life, and totally pain free! Thank you guys <3

Ever since I walked through the doors of River City Fit, I felt inspired to take my fitness to a whole new level and take accountability for myself. Anyone can tell you to jump up and down. But the coaches here, especially Jacob and Kevin, really took the time to understand where I currently was physically, where I wanted to go and how to get there safely. They really took the time to examine my strengths and my weaknesses and helped me understand how to strengthen one muscle group to relieve pain in another area. They really understand body mechanics and give you guidance on how to balance it all up. Most of all, I felt seen and heard. It’s that human element that inspires me and keeps bringing me back. No judgement - good vibes - a journey worth taking at River City Fit!

River City Fit has completely changed my relationship with exercise. The coaches are wonderful! They take the time to get to know you and understand your goals and your challenges and they create a personalized plan just for you. The gym has always been intimidating for me until I found River City Fit. I’ve found confidence and feel stronger than I’ve felt in years.

Just started here 100 days ago as someone who was intimidated by all the free weights. The team is so incredibly nice to work with and the culture is absolutely amazing. My goal was to be able to do a pull up, lose weight, and get a bigger butt but now I just want to get ripped. I'm hooked!

I started at River City Fit about 3 months ago and cannot say enough good things about the coaches and workouts they create for me. I am 55 years old and have been living with a post-surgical bad knee for over 25 years. Through Jill's careful plan, I have regained mobility and strength in my knee and no longer experience pain when walking long distances.
I set a goal to get off the floor without using my hands, and Jill has created a specific program to develop mobility and strength to help me reach my goal. In addition, my adult children have encouraged me to develop strength, and I can now deadlift with them!
The coaches at River City Fit are not just trainers. They carefully supervise every workout, providing timely and helpful feedback throughout. Their constant vigilance keeps me from getting injured and ensures I gain the full benefit of each exercise, making me feel safe and supported.
Jacob, the owner, is very responsive. I recently asked him about acquiring a piece of equipment that I thought might help me reach my goals, and he responded positively.
If you feel intimidated or overwhelmed by the thought of entering a gym, River City Fit is the gym for you! The professionalism and attentiveness of the staff, accompanied by the friendliness of the members, make this gym an easy choice for me.

Colette helped me regain strength and confidence. I appreciated her knowledge of physiology as I have arthritis and other physical challenges. Her personality and training style perfectly matched my needs and Colette was willing to meet me in the early morning hours to accommodate my work. Colette is the best and I am grateful she chose this field of work😊

Caution: Avoid River City Fit, particularly if you have a pre-existing injury. Despite a thorough hour-long discussion with Collette regarding my ongoing struggles with right-sided sciatica over the past couple of years, I was disappointed with the workout regimen she prescribed during only our second session. Unfortunately, it proved to be overly aggressive and included lifting excessively heavy weights, leading to a debilitating muscle spasm in my upper back. A consultation with a PMR specialist confirmed that the injury was a result of overloading. It's been 2 months since the injury and I'm still in a lot of pain.
I had hoped that River City Fit would prioritize attentiveness to individual concerns and tailor workouts accordingly, especially when dealing with clients who have a history of injury. Regrettably, this was not the case in my experience.

I've been in the training program at River City Fit for about 4 months. Coach Colette is kind and affirming and a great teacher. All the coaches are wonderful people, and I'd say the same about the members of River City too. There is always a coach present, and there's an app for tracking all your sets and progress, customized regularly by your coach to your goals and abilities, so you never feel lost or alone.
I had a completely inactive lifestyle when I made the decision to join, and had really done a number on myself mentally with years of pessimism and no self esteem. Whatever my doubts may be throughout the rest of my day, when I'm in this gym I feel like I can do anything, and it's changing the way I think about myself. I have never once dreaded going to the gym which is like, crazy. I feel strong and happy, and I'm so grateful for River City Fit. It's not scary. Make the call. :)

Colette, Jill, and Jacob are very knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging! I really enjoy seeing them each morning! I have always participated in weight training and cardio programs, but I realized that I needed a program that improved my flexibility, which first decreased as I approached 60. At River City Fit, workout programs are specifically tailored to the participant. I have noticed an appreciable improvement in my range of motion, which has carried over to other sports, and I simply FEEL BETTER. I also believe that I have an encouraging partner guiding my fitness journey. In addition to a warm greeting each morning, I receive regular texts from Colette and Jacob noting my progress and providing encouragement. I believe that I am now on the right fitness path; I believe that my fitness and related well being are truly unbounded!

River City Fit is Awesome! I have been searching for the right fit for a gym for myself for months. It was a little intimidating because I have no experience or background in lifting weights. I was looking for not only experienced staff, but also community along with a gym culture that respects women. Jacob and the staff at RCF have done just that. They have challenged me while helping me reach my goals and recognizing my needs. They are all so knowledgeable, inviting, and bring the energy every time I show up for my workouts. This gym is a 10/10 and I would highly recommended!

I must say, I have been working out my entire life, until my divorce. I lost all motivation, gained 20 pounds. I went too visit River City Fitness to see what the vibe was and what types of equipment they had etc. I went for a visit, met Colette who was a personal trainer. We instantly clicked, I have since been working with a trainer three to four days a week. I lost the gained weight, feel great and I plan to continue going to River City Fitness. Everyone makes you feel welcomed, all of the trainers are amazing. I personally do one on one sessions but I have since tried once a week a group training session, it whooped my butt. Everyone has their own personal goals or reasons for working out, mine was to lose weight, feel healthy, build my confidence and everything I wanted, I have achieved. If you have not visited or trained at River City Fitness, you should definitely give them a chance to show you what they can do.

River City Fit has really exceeded my expectations! I was expecting to join for just a few months to get some advice and feedback on a couple things and then go back to doing things on my own. Instead I found a very supportive community of coaches and peers that have made going into the gym something I look forward to and am excited about. I'm getting a great personalized training plan for my goals with feedback, advice, and motivation every time I come in. The facility and atmosphere makes me feel comfortable as I'm still relatively new to the gym experience. I'd recommend River City Fit to anyone whether just getting started or a serious athlete trying to get to the next level.

Moved to Churchill three months ago and checked out a few of the local crossfit like gyms … nothing experienced even approaches the welcoming attitude and personal commitment evidenced from River City Fitness.

While reluctant to join at first, that feeling had quickly vanished once I finally had the opportunity to speak with a trainer. During my first training session, it immediately became clear that my coach had researched my condition, listened to my woes, and developed a plan that was both challenging yet not overbearing to manage with my condition. Response to my initial interest in joining was prompt and the owner took the time to introduce himself. I am very happy that I found a place that is willing to work with me!

I started at River City Fit about 9 months ago and was incredibly apprehensive about joining. Wasn’t really into the “CrossFit” vibe, and this gym was the complete opposite of my expectations of a place with rigs lining the wall and Rogue plates throughout.
The atmosphere is incredibly welcoming to any fitness level - the coaches put your safety first and help you scale exercises to the point where you won’t hurt yourself and you’ll still feel strong doing it. If something looks off, the coaches are quick to notice and help you adjust.
The community is amazing - everyone is really nice and encouraging when you’re trying to do “just 5 more pounds” at the end of a workout you PR’ed in.
I couldn’t recommend this gym enough to anyone looking for somewhere to push themselves and meet some really cool people along the way. I’ve lost weight and toned up in the months since I’ve started - and it feels amazing when people notice.

I absolutely love this gym. I was a member of two CrossFit gyms from 2014 to 2018. I took some time off for financial and other reasons and started here back in June of 2021. This place has been my favorite. Enrique was my trainer and he was so awesome to work with. Right when I was supposed to start class, my year turned into a pretty awful year. Enrique was super understanding and got me back in. Without this gym I would not have made it the second half of 2021. When you join this gym you're not only going to get a great workout in but you gain an awesome supportive community. The coaches and everyone are so welcoming, understanding and supportive. It is such a positive environment to be in. Mobility has always been a problem for me and they've also helped immensely with that. I'm moving better and feeling better and look forward to going to workout everyday. I highly recommend this place!

This place is incredible - it's so much more than your typical CrossFit box. Way more customizable, way more engaged, and WAY less intimidating. Jacob (owner) and Rob (GM) have built an incredible program and assembled an incredible team. You can get your own personal coach who customizes your plan and each workout to your specific goals - the key here is they really LISTEN. Every class coach I've had has been incredible - there's no "drop off" if you don't have Jacob or Rob, all the coaches are incredible. If you're looking to try a healther lifestyle, get back into a fitness routine, and even meet some pretty incredible folks - River City Fit is the place for you.

I am very happy with my experience at River City Fit. The gym is clean, well maintained, and all the equipment (barbells, rowing machines, bikes, etc.) are all well maintained. The great aspect of this gym is that there are people of all ages (from 20 years old up through retirement age) doing the workouts together. The classes are pretty fun, and can be tiring, but the people at this gym from the trainers to the members, are all very friendly so the workouts are fun to
Show up for. The trainers/coaches at the gym are really good at helping to scale the workouts to each person's level of fitness.
The trainers at this place are great. Even when they aren’t running a class, they’ll come by and help improve each person’s technique and advise on appropriate weights for a productive and safe workout. The initial startup sessions are one on ones with a trainer. My trainer, Rob, is very attentive to helping me learn proper technique and addressing areas of focus on my improvement. At any time in the gym, I feel I can ask advice or get a little extra help before, during or after the class.
I am 41 years old and joined the gym about 4 months ago. I had never done CrossFit type exercises. I run quite a bit and that was the extent of my fitness level. My initial concern was that I had no Idea what I was doing in regard to using a barbell or dumbbells. Rob, my trainer, has really helped me to learn the lifts and to do them properly. This also requires me to work on my flexibility. Now I have additional work that my coach checks in with me regularly on to see that I am not only growing stronger, but more flexible and capable. (Each coach is pretty good about asking if any one is feeling sore or has discomfort before class, if so, they help adjust the workout or address individual technique, so people can still workout, but allowing the body to recover .
If you are on the fence about joining a gym, I would recommend checking this place out. The mix of people, the quality of instruction, and the general atmosphere here are great.

Phenomenal gym! I'm not big on the Crossfit side of things myself and signed up for personal training to help with my back pain and get back in shape after years off from bodybuilding. I worked with Freddie, who was very kind and understanding, and after our 48 sessions, my chiropractor was so pleased with my progress I'm now just on general spinal maintenance. I'm in less pain and feel stronger, and am lifting more than I could while training with my bodybuilding coach.
The gym is on the expensive side compared to the YMCA or a chain gym, but the community is great and the personalized attention is worth it; everyone is so friendly and accepting, and the owner goes out of his way to greet you by name. Freddie still works with me through TrueCoach so I can keep up my training since the classes aren't my speed, so I can still use their facilities at my own pace and enjoy the small community atmosphere and have access to their equipment. Worth every penny, and I won't be leaving any time soon! This is my favorite gym ever! Keep it up!

Love this neighborhood crossfit gym. As a runner, lifting weights can sometimes feel intimidating since throwing weight around is not something I do on the regular. Jacob and the coaches are so welcoming, whatever your level of fitness and I really feel comfortable there.
After an unfortunate accident and a broken leg, I knew I needed to start adding strength exercise and lifting back into my fitness plan. Jacob helped me with some personal training sessions to help regain confidence lifting again, and I quickly joined the gym shortly after that.
What I really value about their process is that when we're focusing on strength, the coaches really break down the fundamentals of each lift so great form (and safety) is at the forefront of each movement and workout. We always have fun and get a great sweat.
You won't regret joining this crew!

I joined River City Fit in June 2020 after having relied on long distance running/walking as my sole method of staying fit since I was in high school. Having never really done any strength training or weightlifting, I thought joining a program focused on it would be near impossible for me/scary/intimidating, etc. but this has not been the case at all. The coaches work with you starting day 1 to determine the right weight and pace for your individual needs and strength level. After 6 months at this gym I'm amazed at my ability to do the movements that at first seemed so awkward for a lanky, lacking-upper-body-strength runner like me. I'm noticing a lot more definition in my shoulders, arms and legs that I never would've achieved with just running. Not to mention the owner and coaches are all overwhelmingly kind, knowledgeable, and fun. Thank you for helping me achieve this vast improvement in my fitness and my life overall, River City Fit!

This place has been life changing, and I don’t mean that lightly. The trainers are all so incredibly dedicated to education, for themselves and their clients, working with physical therapists, as well as continuing education, so they can have the most up to date knowledge to share with clients and to help navigate complicated cases, not to mention the atmosphere is overwhelmingly inviting from other clients and employees. River City Fit has been integral to my mental health and physical fitness. From a near life long issue with irregular popping in my knee that has finally been identified and working towards total eradication, to just the overall emotional support during a very emotionally turbulent pandemic. I’m happy to call this place my second home.

I've never been this happy to workout 3-4x each week. I love the workouts, coaches and the community! The coaches truly care about you and the small class sizes ensure you get personalized attention. Everyone is welcome regardless of gender, body type or orientation and they've implemented COVID-safe cleaning and distancing. Go! You'll love it.

This is my third week at RCF and I am hooked! The classes are both fun and challenging. Jacob, the owner, and his team are all incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and amiable- you can absolutely tell that they are happy to have you there and care about your health.
The establishment is kept clean, sanitized, and organized.

Since the owner has taken the time to respond to my review, I think it’s appropriate for me to add some context. I attempted to address the issue in a professional manner, first by calling several times over the last six weeks, none of which were answered during their business hours. Finally, I stopped by in person, and the owner was rude and dismissive, verified that he was aware of the noise complaints, that they’ve been receiving the complaints for at least the last year, and that he was unwilling to correct the issue on the spot. He then suggested I email him and address the issue with the property management company. I have since done so. He followed up my email by calling me and apologizing for our earlier interaction, suggested ways he could try to correct the issue, and finished the call by asking me to remove my negative review.
I don’t think a negative review based on our interactions is harassment of his business, nor do I think it is unwarranted.

RC has opened my eyes to the possibility of having a family and a gym in one. I ADORE this space and the people in it. It is one of the most welcoming exercise environments I’ve ever been in and it was the first time in my life I’ve ever been fully committed and motivated to work out. If CrossFit has ever scared you then this is the place to conquer your fears!

From the moment I reached out to Jacob it has been the most positive experience. I have a home CrossFit gym but because of work I needed to find somewhere to drop in. Jacob was quick responding back to my inquiries. My first time drop in was wonderful. Coaching was on point. Members and Jacob were so welcoming. Everything was so clean!
Unfortunately the shut down happened and we are all home now. Jacob has reached out through text and email to keep me fit and on point!”. The home workouts are exactly what we need during this difficult time.
Can’t wait to be back in the 4 walls!

Looked at a couple different gyms in late 2019. I decided to go with RCF for a couple reasons - people, price, proximity to my apartment. Jacob and the other coaches have been fantastic. The class times have been convenient for me and everyone I've met in classed have been welcoming and friendly. As an added bonus there is yoga on Sunday morning right now! I had decent lifting knowledge beforehand, but it has been awesome to see/relearn the movements before we get into them. Its a terrific environment and definitely worth checking out

Ok I am officially sharing my "before" picture to all of you out there who believe that you can change yourselves for the better. This past July I started working out at RC Fit. One of the main draws of being a part of this community was Jacob, the main coach as well as the quality of people who work out at this gym. If you're ever hesitant to be part of a crossfit program because you know everyone's alpha and annoying, this is not it. I've never met such a chill, but driven group as these folks. You feel like you belong and that's worth it for me.
I'll update this picture in a year, but so far I've lost 11lbs since July :)

What a great Gum with such a positive and motivating staff!! Jacob and the team have taken the time to learn about my goals and restrictions in fitness. I was asked to start on a 1 on 1 training program for 3 sessions to gain my confidence and to help them find out what I was capable of. This helped me feel better about the group classes, since I have some knee problems, and gave me the basics to start and not fall behind or run away from the group atmosphere. Jacob's ideas of community fitness and positive attitude drew me into the crossfit world, something I never thought I would enjoy, and changed my whole way of thinking. I am so excited to continue on my path to a healthier me with the River City Fit team!!
So clean and organized. I would highly suggest this gym to anyone! Great for any level and any age! Come join the community!!

"You do CrossFit?" people ask me. Yes, I can with the help of River City Fit. As a 53 year-old woman with aches and pains, I have found this crew to be the most accomodating to my needs. The workouts are the right amount of challenge while still producing results. The community is tight and supportive and a mix of all ages and sizes. In three short weeks I've managed to increase my ankle and hip mobility. This is truly the most efficient workout you can get. I can't recommend them enough.
