    Awesome CrossFit gym with great coaches and members. Dropped in a few times and it has always been a killer workout. Clean and spacious with plenty of room to spread out.

    It’s hard to put into words how Bluprint Fitness has impacted my life, but I’ll try. They have knowledgeable coaching staff with great programming. The coaches also hold you accountable and are very approachable. There is a feeling of community at Bluprint that is hard to find at other gyms. I have created lifelong friendships at this gym, which means SO much to me! Bluprint cares about you, your physical health, and your mental health. I am very thankful for everything this gym has provided for me.

    Bluprint Fitness has been an incredible addition / much needed evolution of my workout routine. The detail and dedication that their team puts into the weekly workouts (and recovery) has been game changing for me, and I'm only 3 months in! I no longer need to waste energy thinking about how to workout, and instead can focus on maximizing my workout. Can't wait to see my results after a year :)

    This is the most welcoming community you will ever find in a box. From the members to the coaches, the minute you walk in the door you are greeting with a warm smile and hello. You are challenged and cheered for as a group and as an individual here. Byron and Janelle are amazing owners and coaches. They are truly invested in all of their members but I must give a big SHOUT OUT to MaryRuth. I’ve attended her coached classes the most and she is so thorough with her intent in making sure you’re doing what your capable of. She sees when you are struggling and gives you instruction and understanding on how to make adjustments so you improve. They just moved to a new location still in West Town. It’s super spacious and they have everything you’re looking for in a box.

    It has been 2 months since I joined Bluprint Fitness and it has the best decision I have made for my body. The BPFit community is amazing and I feel at ease working out with the crew and gym time is no longer a chore. It’s seriously a no judgement zone and the only competition is against yourself. So do yourself a favor and come join us.

    Bluprint fitness is the best; hands down! I hadn't worked out in a few years and was looking for a solution that would change that; insert Bluprint (Byron, Janelle and their team of coaches). Next thing you know, it has been almost 2.5 years - I am stronger than ever before, going to the gym more than ever before; but more importantly - I am more accountable to myself than ever before. The programming is special and customized, but the environment keeps you coming back. If you are thinking about joining a gym and really need the hands-on training approach to help you, stop looking and join this gym TODAY.

They welcome people of all skill sets and fitness levels with open arms and help you start the journey to being the best version of yourself. The people are awesome The gym is clean, and has a cool aesthetic The workouts are mean in the best way COME JOIN US!!!

    There's nothing better then coming into this community for a workout. Not only is the programming superb but the community makes you feel right at home. There's so many different personalities that you immediately find your groove whether that's to come in and move around, recover, have fun or get into the best shape of your life. Going to the gym is already a win, going to a gym community you love is an all around great choice.

    Bluprint is the real deal, ya'll. It doesn't matter if you have years of CrossFit experience or none at all (like me) -- the Bluprint team makes sure that everyone who walks through the door feels comfortable. Zero intimidation, attitude or ego. The workouts are challenging and rewarding, the community is welcoming and the coaches are supportive, pushing every athlete to achieve their individual goals. This is a special community and most certainly my favorite place to spend my mornings. Thank you to Byron, Janelle and everyone at Bluprint for creating such a special place!

    Bluprint or bust! I have been at Bluprint now for one month and can't speak more highly of a gym/box. I came to Bluprint with 6 years of Crossfit under my belt. I had been community to my old gym up north for years but knew I had to make the change to a closer gym. Community was number one for me as I find that the biggest motivation in the gym. Bluprint coaches and members welcomed me with open arms. The space itself has tons of room with all the top equipment you want in the box. The programing is a great balance of endurance and lifting. There are tons off class times and open gym options that work with my schedule. I am so happy to be part of this gym and community!

    Hands-down the best CrossFit/community gym experience I've ever had. I signed-up for a 9:00am Saturday drop-in. 25 people were there for the partner WOD. As soon as I walked in I was greeted by 5+ dogs and 3-4 kids running around. 2 parents were pushing their kids in strollers for the run portion of the WOD. About 8 people came up to me to introduce themselves and welcome me. It was like a huge family and I loved it. If I lived in Chicago and close to the west side, I'd make this my CrossFit gym without a doubt!

    Bluprint is incredible! As a first time weight lifter, I’ve appreciated the encouraging community and expertise of all the coaches. It’s been great to learn more about the holistic approach to health including full body work outs, nutrition, mobility and recovery.

  • 5/5 Jess P. 1 year ago on Google
    A membership at BluPrint rewards you with a fun workout experience that helps you reach your fitness goals. Coaches at BluPrint motivate and pay attention to your goals. As someone who was very intimidated with strength training but had a big interest in it I felt super comfortable at this gym. Classes are always fresh with new ways to push and surprise yourself with your accomplishments. All members of gym makes you feel welcomed from day one. Strongly recommend to reach out and become a part of the fitness family at BluPrint!

  • 5/5 Tausif K. 1 year ago on Google
    I’ve always admired CrossFit Athletes and have been equally intimated by the sheer thought of attempting to be one, so when a friend recommended Bluprint I obviously walked in with all kinds of skeptics. I am 3-months into it now and I am so glad that I gave it a shot. From day one all the coaches & athletes have been incredibly encouraging & supportive (which is rare these days). I have seen a significant transformation not just physically but mentally, which was even more important to me. I see the right long term habits being built & self accountability established. Go BluCrue!

  • 5/5 Brett G. 1 year ago on Google
    Easily the best gym I've ever been to. The coaches here are incredibly nice (and hilarious) but also give great instruction and motivation. The community here is also very tight knit & welcoming, I am incredibly thankful for Bluprint.

  • 5/5 Salvador J. L. 1 year ago on Google
    The coaching is SUPERB, the classes are challenging (in a good way) and fun, and their welcoming gym community is unmatched. The staff gives you great all around support with things like diet, hydration, mobility, etc., and not just during the workout. Very different from any other gym that I've been a part of. Plus, they offer a free no obligation trial week to test it out. Do it. You won't regret it. I highly recommend them.

  • 5/5 Yvonne B. 4 months ago on Google
    50 plus years old here and Im 9 weeks into my 1st crossfit experience. I am very pleased to share....... "I feel much stronger, I am way more flexible, I feel at home with like minded people! The coaches are great! Give Bluprint Fitness a try! You won't be disappointed!"

  • 5/5 Nina Q. 10 months ago on Google
    Bluprint is one of the best CrossFit/functional fitness gyms I’ve ever been to! I’ve tried a variety of CrossFit boxes in Chicago and various other cities, and this place is a clear winner for me. I had a couple of experiences at other gyms that made me a little unsure about continuing my CrossFit journey, but Bluprint has shown me how fun working out with the functional fitness methodology is again with excellent programming and a fantastic, welcoming community. I’ve gotten so much helpful feedback from coaches and encouragement from other members in the few months since I’ve joined. Thanks for building such a fantastic community in Chicago, Bluprint!

  • 5/5 Lucia N. 1 year ago on Google
    I love everything about Bluprint Fitness. Their coaches are very knowledgeable; they helped me achieve skills safely and pretty early on in their program! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming, the space is always clean, organized and their equipment is in excellent condition. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Bryan B. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing gym and great workouts! The staff here is incredibly friendly and extremely qualified! They know how to push you to the limit in the best way possible with your workouts. You will not leave disappointed! There are also quarterly goal setting sessions to keep you motivated and accountable. Byron and Janelle have created a family vibe as soon as you walk in the doors – I highly recommend checking this gym out.

  • 5/5 Cody C. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been working out at Bluprint for a little over 6 months now, and I could not have found a better fitness/wellness community in the area. The staff, athletes and programming are exceptional. From the moment you walk into your first workout you feel accepted and welcomed. All aspects of the workout can be scaled to challenge you wherever your fitness level is, and the coaches are there to guide you along the way. This gym is accepting for the LGBTQIA+ community, and that was a big part that brought me to this gym and has made me feel at home. The gym also takes COVID-19 precautions seriously and protects the health of its athletes by ensure it policies are followed and everything is sanitized regularly. I’ve enjoyed challenging myself to be stronger and make my health a priority this year. I highly recommend anyone in the area give this gym a try.

  • 5/5 Emily S. 2 years ago on Google
    Bluprint is the best fitness decision I’ve made in the week 11 years I’ve lived in Chicago. Byron and Janelle have found a way to treat every person at the gym like they are their only client and you always feel so welcomed and comfortable. I’ve never been intimidated by any of the movements or like I didn’t fit in. On days I don’t make it I feel like I’m missing out. Anyone looking for new friends and a great fitness community should sign up 10 min ago yesterday!

  • 5/5 Charlee G. 2 years ago on Google
    Bluprint is hands-down my favorite gym in the city. I’ve held memberships at two box gyms and am a previous ClassPasser here in Chicago – so I’ve been around…but I have never felt as welcome or motivated as I do at BluPrint. The community is very positive, supportive, and non-judgmental. The variety and intensity of workouts are perfect, and I am never bored or burnt out. They can also easily be scaled down, which I appreciate as a CrossFit newbie. The owners, Byron and Janelle, are honest, caring people who want you to succeed. I highly encourage everyone to check out BluPrint. You won’t be disappointed.

  • 5/5 Zach L. 2 years ago on Google
    BPF coaches know their stuff down the line on the lifts & movement technique. I like the detail-oriented instruction & personal attention in every class, which always seem to pinpoint a refinement in technique to help with consistent gradual gains. Great vibe, good tunes, fun camaraderie at BPF makes it easy to show up every day to get in a good lift & WOD.

  • 5/5 Meghann D. 2 years ago on Google
    I joined BluPrint in April of this year. At first, I was very nervous to join a "Crossfit" gym. I had belonged to a Crossfit gym many years ago and had previously loved it, but given how out of shape I felt, I was worried I wasn't going to be able to keep up in class. From day one, the coaches and other athletes made me feel welcome and I could tell immediately that this gym was a "judgement free zone." There are athletes of all shapes/sizes and varying abilities and this made me feel very comfortable. However, the one thing that I think is very different about Bluprint is that I feel the coaches genuinely care about my goals and helping me to achieve them. I think that because of this relationship, I want to not only make myself proud but the coaches proud as well. It has been a little over 6 months since I joined Bluprint and the gains I have made have made me so much happier; both mentally and physically. Bluprint has given me support in the gym but also support in changing my lifestyle/daily habits to continue to strive towards my goals. I have learned that I will have good days and bad days, but ultimately it is all about balance. I am excited to continue to crush workouts and make gains with my Bluprint team supporting me every step of the way.

    Joined in the middle of the pandemic when my previous box closed - Bluprint Fitness had been recommended to me previously by a friend. Focused and professional intake process (a short phone interview, goal setting, and a coach to provide advice and guidance for the first 6 weeks). Superior cleanliness and protocols in place to ensure safety. All of the coaches are fantastic - each brings a different approach (some gymnastic, some Olympic weightlifting) but all of them are enthusiastic and encouraging - all of them want you to succeed. The membership is from all ages and walks of life - everyone of all shapes/sizes is welcome - you feel welcome and a part of the team from Day 1. In my experience some boxes are testosterone charged, weight-dropping, heavy-metal blasting temples of the PR. Not here. Bluprint is welcoming, comfortable, and encouraging - you will PR here, no doubt about it - but the road is paved with a more whole-body approach, with great time and focus given to dynamic stretching, proper technique, and resources to set goals and improve your nutrition. Due to COVID the programming has been modified to ensure health and safety - so my experience has been limited to this - but I couldn't give a higher recommendation to Bluprint - this will be my box for good.

  • 5/5 Jose V. 2 years ago on Google
    Bluprint is really a special place. Sure, I’ve gotten in better shape since joining but I’ve also made friends, become more confident, and improved my mental well being by being a member. The coaches hold you accountable to staying safe while pushing you to do more than you think you can and the community of members is supportive regardless of what stage of your fitness journey you’re in.

  • 5/5 Chris P. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been going to Bluprint for over 2 years and I’m glad I made Bluprint my neighborhood gym. As a busy professional, I struggled with consistently getting to the gym and writing my own workouts. The Bluprint programmed workouts took out all the guess work. Going into the gym is now the best part of my day. The coaches do an amazing job explaining the movements and will work with you to get the most out of your workout no matter what your skill level may be. I’ve seen results and done movements that I never would have achieved on my own. Everyone in the class is super positive and supportive throughout the workouts. You’re welcomed from day one. Everyone cares for each other inside and outside of the gym. Going to Bluprint has not only improved my physical heath, but my mental health as well. Byron, Janelle, and the rest of the Bluprint team are amazing and I can’t recommend them enough!

    FLEXIBLE HOURS, EXTREMELY REASONABLE PRICING, SHOWERS, and the most frigin’ cute mascot pup ever… But this place really shines in it’s supportive member community. I’m 50 & reasonably good health. I never did cross fit before. I swam in high school, cycled, ran and then discovered rowing in my late 40’s. I was never a compulsive athlete and incorporated moderate physical activity in my daily life. I tore my mcl in my right knee twice.But as I got older I noticed my mobility was freezing up, my endurance weakened, and I felt a lesser version of my younger self. A big reservation about CrossFit was my preconceived notion of Bro gym culture.That was dispelled ASAP: at least half the members are women. Body types range from the extremely athletic who’ve been doing it for years to people like me who just began. Everyone is understanding and encouraging- the only person I’m competing with as myself. Since joining just over two months ago, I’ve gained strength, mobility and endurance. Do I have the 6 pack and bulging biceps? Nope, but If I continue on course I’ll keep getting stronger and my body will gradually adjust. Mad props to Byron & Janelle for opening Blueprint fitness.

    If you’re looking for a new home gym, Bluprint is the place for you. Byron and his team are absolutely great and have a true passion for Fitness. Byron‘s programming is great for anyone at any level and he truly displays passion for fitness and helping you reach your goals. The entire Blucru team is so knowledgeable and truly dedicated to educating and guiding you through your workouts. The atmosphere in the gym always has good vibes and everyone is friendly and inviting. Bluprint is not only fun but a safe place to work out! The gym is always clean and organized and you’ll have your personal space to stay distant you feel comfortable I always look forward to work out at Bluprint. 10/10 highly recommend!!!

  • 5/5 Hayley H. 2 years ago on Google
    Bluprint has helped me transition back to the active lifestyle that I was used to growing up playing sports and in college. After moving to a new city, I struggled to find balance with a demanding career, exercise, and nutrition. I joined a gym prior to Bluprint but quickly got injured and made minimal progress at getting back in shape. Since joining Bluprint, I’ve found coaches who know my strengths and weaknesses as an individual and push me in a realistic way. I didn’t know much about weightlifting when joining, but now I’ve learned many new movements and improved on the old ones. Aside from improving inside the gym, I’ve learned ways to support my body outside of the gym. I feel supported and held accountable. Now Bluprint is a part of my routine and I look forward to continued growth. I would recommend Bluprint to athletes of any level- you won’t regret it.

  • 5/5 Courtney C. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm SO glad I found Bluprint and cannot recommend it enough! The coaching staff are wonderful and they have been so supportive and a tremendous help in getting me back into the grind after an injury that sidelined me. The environment is very inviting, friendly, and perfect for all levels of fitness. Also, the programming is challenging and varied and I have been really happy with the progress I've made. Oh AND the cute dogs of course.

  • 5/5 Lydia P. 2 years ago on Google
    Great gym with great coaches! The programming focuses on building strength and conditioning with consistent and progressive overload, and they are so good about finding adjustments for every level of athlete. Also great for injury prevention with accessory work, mobility, and focusing on good form. Not a lot of flexibility with class times and open gym, but it is in the middle of a pandemic and they are super safe. Expensive but worth it if you're trying to build a healthy lifestyle in a sustainable way.

  • 5/5 Romayne N. 8 months ago on Google • 1 review
    Bluprint is my happy place! Joining this gym was my first exposure to CrossFit and I LOVE it. This is the first time in my fitness journey I haven't just used the scale to measure my success and my world has completely changed. I feel strong in the gym and outside of the gym. My confidence and mental health has improved. The coaches and members are hands-down some of my favorite people. When prioritizing and balancing life gets difficult my child and husband have been welcomed into this gym community allowing me to not have to choose between working out and family time. I still have so much to learn, and I don't plan on going anywhere. Bluprint has my heart.

    Couldn’t ask for a better gym experience! Came in with my wife for a free trial once and it was hard but really enjoyed it. After a couple months I finally took the plunge and am now a few months into my journey and I’m loving it. The gym harbors a welcoming vibe and the other gym members have been supportive and helpful. I don’t feel judged or any negative energy really. I had no experience with CrossFit before but the coaches have been awesome and really take the time to teach you all the exercises.

  • 5/5 Stephenie L. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    I absolutely love this place! It is so much more than a gym. I was nervous starting crossfit and had lots of preconceived notions about what to expect. However, the coaches and other athletes are kind and welcoming. They are able to help make sure you get a good workout in and modify things to meet you where you are on your fitness journey.
