Bluprint Fitness/Chi-Town CrossFit

Entering any new environment let alone a gym can be a very intimidating experience for some people. While this may be true for most places Bluprint is an exception. Byron along with all of the coaches (including bacon) create a space where you feel welcome and you belong from the minute you first walk through the door. I strongly recommend Bluprint to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals. You won't regret it.

I've always been a solo lifter, and stayed away from group fitness classes, but I'd always remained in good shape. But I started at Bluprint a year ago, and it's honestly been the best gym experience I've had in my life. The coaches take a personal interest in helping you reach your fitness goals and and encourage continued growth. I've broken through countless plateaus that I can honestly say I wouldnt have reached without the coaches. The programming is awesome, challenging and varied. The atmosphere of the gym (also mind you this is from a person who prefers to lift solo) is amazing. Dozens of athletes who come in with a positive attitude and help push and encourage you to be the best you. The facility itself is always clean and well organized, and they invest in new equipment several times a year. I would give bluprint 6 out of 5 stars if google would allow. Highly recommended.

Byron, Janelle, Selby, and the entire team at Bluprint have created a gym where people of every fitness level can excel and built a community that challenges and inspires you every day. If you just show up, trust the process, and do the work you will succeed and have a blast doing it. Constantly varying classes mean you'll never get bored, and the coaches do a great job of keeping you safe with clean form while also pushing you to test yourself and exceed what you thought you were capable of.

I can say with 100% certainty that Bluprint Fitness is the best boutique fitness facility in the city. The owners (Byron & Janelle) are what make Bluprint a spectacular environment where you will actually enjoy doing all the fitness. Byron and Janelle genuinely care about the physical and mental well-being of each and every athlete/member. The entire coaching staff at Bluprint is truly invested in seeing every athlete achieve their individual health/fitness goals. Bluprint creates a dynamic and scalable fitness environment that will actually get results and keep you coming back for more!

I have loved my experience here. I appreciate how Byron and the team make a conscious effort to say hi to everyone by name each time you enter the gym. That is a small thing but definitely makes you feel welcome and a part of the community. All of the coaches are fantastic and each work out is varied. I have tried working out at various crossfit gyms in the city but this is the first one I feel like actually makes you feel welcome. Definitely give it a try if you are thinking about joining a new gym!

Being new to Crossfit and not having the best luck with big box gyms in the past, I was apprehensive when I reached out to Bluprint about becoming a member. After meeting Janelle, Byron and Selby during my first visit and fitness consultation, however, I new Bluprint was the right fit for me. Now, I have been consistently going to the gym 2-3x a week for over a year and couldn't be happier with my fitness results. The combination of Bluprint coach's expertise, care, teaching and guidance have kept me coming back, week after week. All the coaches are wonderful and hold me accountable to my fitness and nutrition goals, which has also proved wildly successful for me. Thanks Bluprint!

I've been working out here for almost three years and besides getting fitter and stronger from working with incredibly knowledgeable coaches, the culture here is second to none. It is rare that you will find a gym that serves the wide range of skill and fitness levels that Bluprint does where everyone feels supported, encouraged, and great about their performance. The competitiveness that thrives here is healthy, pushing everyone to do the best that they can without making them feel bad about being at a different level (better or worse) than someone else. Best in the game!

Bluprint is a phenomenal gym for all levels of fitness. Bluprint helped me lose 27 lbs. before my wedding while still gaining strength and muscle mass. Byron and Janelle are the best and so are the rest of the trainers. They didn't baby me, and they didn't shame me either. They gave me the personal instruction and feedback that allowed me to be successful. On top of the physical results the GYM was fun; full of great people with a competitive but even more so supportive environment. The classes are well put together and I always left knowing I got an amazing workout. (Before and after June 2018 to Sept 2018)

I’ve been fortunate to be in the CrossFit community for several years and had the benefit of some great gyms during that time — and BluPrint is #1 in my experience. The coaches are dedicated to your success and safety. The programming is challenging while accessible to every fitness level. And the gym is clean, well organized, and well equipped. But the piece that levels this place up above the rest is the welcoming, inclusive, and just downright family atmosphere the owners, coaches, and members have cultivated. It is next to none and the reason I continue to come back. Whether you’re looking for a new gym to call home or just need to drop in, BluPrint is the place to go.

This week marked my 6-month anniversary at Bluprint, and it made me realize that a review was more than warranted. I have been doing Crossfit for quite a few years and in January I found myself suddenly having to find a new gym as the one I was going to unfortunately had to close. I tried 3 different ones in the area before stopping by Bluprint, and none of them were bad but they also didn't feel like "home". And, for those who have done Crossfit before, you know how the community is probably the biggest thing in the gym. As soon as arrived there I knew they had done a tremendous job developing that community. All coaches know everyone by name, athletes are actually interacting with each other instead of making "small talk", everyone helps each other push through the workout, and you really got to meet people from the get go. Also, no one is allowed to start putting away their equipment until everyone is done - which is a big pet-peeve of mine from other gyms. Another plus is also how they are totally transparent and clear with the training program and what they expect from the athletes. Every Saturday we get an email with the program for the upcoming week and which cycle we are on at that time. I personally love to know that there is a very detailed thought-process behind the programming. I can't recommend Bluprint enough... seriously, just sign-up for a trial if you don't believe me. Oh, and you got to meet coach Bacon as well!!!
