Gym

😠 I’m an affiliate owner dropping in from out of town and we had a terrible experience. We weren’t introduced to the coach, not asked about our fitness level or how long we have been Crossfitting, not asked about any injuries we may have had, and not welcomed in as part of the class. It was super awkw... People often mention community, CrossFit, great, coaches, friendly, gyms, people, welcoming, knowledgeable, work,

    I’m an affiliate owner dropping in from out of town and we had a terrible experience. We weren’t introduced to the coach, not asked about our fitness level or how long we have been Crossfitting, not asked about any injuries we may have had, and not welcomed in as part of the class. It was super awkward to be honest. Thank God I’m a seasoned athlete, because I wasn’t coached even though there were only 4 athletes in the class. I hope they do a better job welcoming full time members. Very disappointed to say the least.

    This is my second CrossFit gym and so far it’s much better than my experience a few years ago. The coaches know what they are talking about and help you out in a friendly way. Everyone is on the same team and nobody at the gym is above themselves. The daily workouts are incredibly addicting and lean more towards strength training than cardio. Overall a great experience that I recommend to anyone wanting to stay fit and challenge yourself.

    The coach and community here was very welcoming we dropped in during our trip to Chicago. Would definitely recommend it. Coach was very knowledgeable and made us feel like we were part of the community.

    Had a good workout, friendly members. Facility was under construction during my visit but the parts that weren't were in need of updating. Bathroom (also not under construction) was disgusting. There are better options for drop in Crossfitters.

    Crossfit CE is an amazing gym, I have bounced around a few crossfit gyms, but this one is definitely one of the friendliest, most professional, and overall well rounded gyms anyone can ask for. All of the coaches are very knowledgeable and have some of the most welcoming vibes. Overall, a great place for people who are either new to crossfit, or seeking to find a new place to call their box.

    I dropped in for a couple days and had a fantastic experience. Neil the owner was very friendly and helpful. He set me up with access to btwb, push press, etc and was very accommodating with helping me find classes that worked for me. The coaches were great too. They’re a PRVN affiliate, great WODs. Im experienced and training for the open and they helped me keep it up on the road.

    I joined CE right as people started going back to gyms after COVID and I felt that they were very compliant and kept the facility immaculate. I always felt comfortable coming to the gym and that they were taking things seriously. When I joined, I had no idea how amazing the community it would be. Every gym boasts that their community is the best, but this is truly the best community I have been a part of.

    Just restarted Crossfit after a 2 year hiatus and this box is fantastic. Great facility, great coaches, and great community that welcomes you instantly. The coaches work with you to make sure you challenge yourself but at the same time scale each movement appropriately. If you are thinking about starting Crossfit or considering joining this box, you won't regret this place. I certainly haven't

    I am from out of town, and dropped in for a class while here for work. There was plenty of room, great equipment, friendly people, and helpful coaches. I am coming off an injury, and was provided plenty of scaling options for my needs. I highly recommend this CrossFit gym to anyone.

    CrossFit CE is pretty great. I’ve been a member of a few boxes and I think their culture is one of the best. I really like that they have a barbell club and will work with you to create a lifting plan. I'm already seeing small gains in strength and stability which is awesome. And getting a little out of my comfort zone which is unfortunately good too.

    CrossFit CE has an excellent environment, friendly goers and respectful space sharing. Clean and spacious. Easy to figure out equipment, not cramped. Worked out with great confidence. Amazing staff, eager to help and knowledgeable. Thank you for keeping this space open, when many gyms closed.

    Fantastic gym, incredible coaching staff - all of whom are knowledgeable, friendly and caring. My first ever CrossFit Gym and I love it. Workouts are structured and varied, following a sensible well thought-out progression over time, not just random and haphazardly selected. Good selection of equipment and not at all cramped. A really special community!

    This is a great gym! With wonderful staff!! 10/10 would recommend to anyone starting their fitness journey and looking for a friendly gym in the new year!

  • 5/5 Paul M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best gym's in the city by far. Great coaching staff and members. Really felt part of a community here.

    I've been with CrossFit CE for a year and a half now and all I can say is I wish I would have given CrossFit a chance sooner! The coaches at CrossFit CE make this style of work very accessible and I truly appreciate that a fundamentals training is not only offered, but required before you can dive in. I love that people actually talk to each other at this gym, and even socialize outside of class time! It's a great community and creates an environment of support. My physical strength has improved dramatically since I've joined and I think it's fair to say that I'm now addicted to CrossFit! I would highly recommend coming in and checking out a class sometime. If you're not into barbell work, BURN is a great fit for those looking for a good mix of cardio and strength training! It's a friendly bunch, always welcoming of new faces, which makes newbies feel comfy trying it out AND coming back!

    CrossFit CE is a life changer! Coaches are very supportive and knowledgeable. The community is absolutely awesome. Very welcoming and down to earth people. Name introductions are usually done at the beginning of classes so it’s easy to get to know people. There are also nutrition challenges and coaching. Competitions and Olympic lifting as well. It’s not just a place where you casually work out (which you can do if that’s what you want), but it’s an atmosphere that encourages you to change your life for the better and keep positive and hardworking athletes around.

    I was always hesitant about joining CrossFit because of the horror stories you hear about people getting hurt or injured. I joined CossFit CE in July 2020 and have absolutely loved it. The coaches are great (especially Dana) but that is the real reason I keep coming back. I have been to several CrossFit gyms around the states and this is hands down the best gym. Also, with the COVID-19 pandemic they keep everything clean and the classes are small, which keeps you safe and you have a coaches eye on you at all times. Also, I forgot to mention that I lost 20 pounds in two months! Thanks CrossFit CE!

    Great coaches and environment. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed my time working out here:)

  • 5/5 Bruce J. 2 years ago on Google
    Crossfit CE has been great and I couldn't thank them enough for all the support during my fitness journey! What I really set's them apart is the attentiveness of the coaches and a strong crossfit community (the accountability was huge for me). It's my favorite place to get an intense workout in and I've been to most gyms.

    This is the sixth CrossFit gym that I have been a member of and can confidently say it's one of the best. The programming is top-tier. The coaches are knowledgeable and are capable of coaching all ranges/tiers of athletes - from beginner to competitive. But what makes CE standout above the other gyms I've been a member at is the community. From the start we were warmly welcomed into the gym and community. Whether it's planned community events such as Wine/Whiskey and WOD or simply grabbing brunch after a Saturday workout, CE has a community that will reel you in.
