Iron Flag Fitness Westmont

Worked out at a lot of places...this gym is hands down the most welcoming, non-intimidating/ family atmosphere. Definitely will change your life for the better

I have not been able to do squats in about 30 years! I have arthritis in both knees; and had a physical therapist help me strengthen the muscles around my knees. I was told I had to have knee surgery 10 years ago. I went the physical therapist way first because I know once you do the surgery, you have to re-do it every 5 years! My therapist used a lot of table and ball exercises. It was all Isometric exercising! She even taught me how to take steps! Walk up stairs, etc. I started working out with the BEST trainer I have ever had, Guy Petruzzelli! He is a pro triathlete. I have been working out since I can remember. I LOVE weight lifting!!! And because of the arthritis (I thought) I could NEVER do a squat again. However, Guy taught me the correct way to do a squat. I recently did 6 sets of 200 pounds! I know I can do more! He did not want to push me too much. I was talking to another young woman at CrossFit, and she was running a 10 minute mile before working with Guy. She is now at 8:40 in a matter of two months running a 5K!!! I am blown away by Kelly who runs the place and ALL the instructors. However, I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A TRAINER LIKE GUY!!!

Feels great to be back at crossfit. Everyone here is very cool. Also it's a great deal. You get personal training every day and custom designed workouts for a fraction of what it would cost at your typical gym. I'm not really a camaraderie type of guy but the people here are very chill. Has definitely increased my stamina and performance. Thanks Joe and Kelly and great job.

I am a solider in the Army and was on leave. I needed a squat rack to continue working on rehabbing my knee after an ACL, MCL Meniscus rebuild. This Crossfit gym offered to allow me to use the facility and didn't even want money from me (I still gave them what I felt was fair for use of their equipment).It was extremely generous of them to support a service member so graciously.The members were all friendly and open. They encouraged me as I was lifting.It was a very welcoming environment and when I go back to Chicago, I'll make sure to visit when I do.This place definitely deserves a 5 star review.

I can't imagine my mornings without this place. Joe and Kelly are very knowledgable instructors and the people who work out here feel like a part of your family. I would be lost without it. I am shocked by the results of crossfit.

I have worked with many trainers, however, none that have as much knowledge to produce awesome results. Working with Kelly & Joe has brought about great changes in my body appearance, strength and endurance. True Professionals!

So, I started Crossfit Iron Flag in December. I had just come home from a work conference and I was looking for a workout that would challenge me. I've been a member at Lifetime forever and its so busy that I would wait for machines and end up doing the same old workouts with little changes or results.I called Iron Flag and went on their website looked at the workouts,photos along with the price that was close to my Lifetime membership. It's been one of the best experiences of my life. I never thought I could see these type of results- I’ve lost inches in the waist & gained a ton of strength & muscle. I can honestly say this is a lifestyle change that has dramatically improved my quality of life. The people who go here are the real reason this is place has made me so successful. They push you. They encourage you. They rejoice when you succeed and lift you up when you don't reach your goals. Thanks again to all the great staff and coaches. I still hate burpees.

I've been a member of Iron Flag since it opened back in late November of 2013. I can honestly say that it has changed my life. I've lost around 50 pounds since I began doing CrossFit, and am now muscular and toned as opposed to pudgy and overweight. I had no real knowledge of Olympic lifts or barbells for that matter outside of the bench press before I started at Iron Flag, but Joe & Kelly were there to teach me all the major lifts and in time make me very proficient at them. Both coaches are CSCS certified with degrees in exercise science so they weren't just delivering pizzas two weeks before opening a CrossFit box.Don't feel intimidated about trying CrossFit, I slowly worked my way into it until I could do the workouts prescribed (Rx). Everything can be scaled and modified to match your skill level.

Crossfit is amazing and I love the Iron Flag gym! I'm a Ballroom Dancer of 14 years and this is helping my cardio immensely! I've been doing it for about a month and I feel a ton stronger! Joe and Kelly rock and are incredibly motivating especially when you're at that point when you wanna quit. Highly recommend to anyone wanting to get into top physical shape!

I love this gym. I use this gym as a strength and conditioning supplement to my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu training. Since joining, I have noticed a big difference in my stamina and strength when sparring. Joe and Kelly are great trainers who operate a safe environment while motivating everyone to push themselves to their individual limits. The class schedule is perfect for working individuals. The prices are reasonable for the level of training you receive. I highly recommend this gym!!!
