    Had a blast with a team work out this morning. I just dropped in while visiting and everyone was friendly and welcoming. I’d recommend coming to drop in or join and will be back anytime I’m in town!

    I started going to CrossFit Harwood Heights two years ago. I really enjoy it and I’m always looking forward to my next visit. 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.

    Absolutely love the facility and enjoy every class (Women’s Power). The staff is so supportive and motivating!! I had no clue what I was doing on my first class and they worked with me and made me feel so comfortable. Thank you!!! Highly recommended, even for people like me who have never done anything like this before!

    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.

    Wonderful staff! Very educated and helpful coaches who truly care about your success. They are willing to meet you where you are and build you up.

    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.

    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!

    Great gym. I dropped in from Texas. Whenever I travel I always drop in somewhere and you never know what you're going to get. CF Harwood Heights is so welcoming and encouraging. I hit a PR today 100% due to the coach. Seriously thinking about changing my flight home so I can go one more day!!

    It's a great gym - unlike any other. Strenuous workout every time you go and different each time. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. Instructors are terrific, focused and watchful. I've recommended this program to many people.

  • 5/5 Gina R. 1 year ago on Google

    I I’ve been going to CrossFit Harwood Heights since 2018. Everyone is very welcoming and the workout is always great! I enjoy the group atmosphere!

  • 5/5 Zubair H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place welcomes everyone! I come for the workout but stay for the people and the community. Don't be afraid to give it a try. This is a gym for everyone regardless of fitness level.

  • 5/5 Travis F. 2 years ago on Google
    Very helpful coaches and friendly environment. The box was plenty spacious and everything was clean and well maintained. Would definitely drop in again in the future!

  • 5/5 Mattia D. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice crossfit box, awesome community and wonderful wod... For sure i will drop in again when I'm in the area💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

  • 5/5 rommel h. 2 years ago on Google
    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.

  • 5/5 Gary S. 5 years ago on Google
    Very nice place. Everyone from the trainers to members are very very welcoming. People of all shapes and sizes, just starting their fitness journey, to experienced lifters are welcomed. Ive strictly been strength training so a very simple, basic, metcon workout killed me. Couldnt even make it through! Awesome equipment, very basic and simple equipment, yet everything you need to achieve your goals. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem. Thanks for letting me stop in!

    Serious friendly and capable coaches and owners. Fast results, inspiring gym members, positive atmosphere for all levels.

  • 3/5 Daniel S. 4 years ago on Google
    We did a dropin at Harwood Heights. Comparing it to the most crossfit gyms in the US it was too overpriced ( 20 dollar for open gym). In a lot of crossfit drop ins we normaly could train once for free, also classes. The female trainer was nice. The music was also extremly loud.

  • 5/5 Joseph T. 3 years ago on Google
    This is the best gym! I've been a member of almost every gym in the neighborhood and this one has the best community!

  • 5/5 Mayalin B. 6 years ago on Google
    Dropped in during the holidays, and the workout kicked my butt! Loved the welcoming atmosphere of the coaches and their community. I’ll definitely drop by again when I’m back visiting! Thanks CFHH!!

  • 5/5 christine p. 1 year ago on Google
    The Women’s Power class is so great! All of the coaches are experienced, knowledgeable, helpful and super friendly. They will modify things if you need it. I highly recommend CFHH and this class for anyone wanting to get fit/stronger or continue on their fitness journey.

  • 5/5 Shannon B. 4 months ago on Google • 1 review
    First time in a CrossFit gym and I have felt so welcomed. It’s a very clean gym, lots of equipment, all in great condition and the people are extremely warm—friendly and knowledgeable!! CFHH is the place to be if you’d like to get a killer workout in and learn the proper techniques without any judgement.

  • 5/5 Rich R. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    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 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!

  • 5/5 Victoria H. 6 months ago on Google • 1 review
    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!

  • 5/5 Chris Z. 6 months ago on Google • 2 reviews
    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.

😠 Coaches are excellent but the front-desk staff borders on incompetent. They were unable to set up my tracker, properly, for multiple sessions, including disabling my tracker during a workout.
