Bluprint Fitness/Chi-Town CrossFit

BluPrint is the best kind of CrossFit gym—one where knowledgeable and attentive coaches work alongside a community of athletes who champion everyone else in their midst. Classes are small enough that coaches can give targeted feedback to every individual, which makes it possible for all of us to safely work toward and achieve our strength, cardio and gymnastics goals. Programming is done in a way that challenges members to explore all CF skills (pushing us outside those comfort zones!), and six-week cycles give them a chance to test those skills and adjust their goals according to what interests them the most. That BluPrint is able to facilitate healthy competition AND supportive community in the same space is no doubt the reason why their members (myself included) are constantly setting and smashing new goals and adopting a true lifestyle of fitness rather than a mere gym habit.

I have been a member of BluPrint for a little more than 4 months and I have drank the Cross-Fit Kool-Aid. My favorite part (other than the coaches/people) about BluPrint is the team mentality that the classes create. The workouts are hard but doing them with a team makes them 100% better. You are all suffering during the workout and having a team around you makes you work harder to complete the workout. As a retired collegiate athlete, I had struggled finding a gym that would create the same atmosphere as working out with your team. This would leave me feeling unsatisfied leaving any other gym. I am happy to say that I found this a BluPrint. Oh and they have dogs! Shout out Coach Bacon!

I want to take time to give The coaches, the athletes and all that comes and to go the facility high praises. As I approach my one year anniversary I can honestly say that Blueprint has been good as advertised. Great group of people, very encouraging and motivating since day one. No matter your fitness level, everyone's coached and pushed to become better. It's not just a gym but a true fitness community that takes you in from day one. Looking forward two year two and how I can become better. Thanks guys.

I started Bluprint CrossFit 7 weeks ago and I cannot recommended it enough. As someone who isn't an athletic person it was the best decision I could've ever done. The coaches at Bluprint help you understand the movement and can suggest modifications if they see you struggling. I joined the 6 week introduction program and absolutely loved it. I learned a lot of the basic movements in the training camps and slowly made my way to a normal CrossFit class. I'm obviously still very new and the classes are challenging, but I look forward to further develop my skills and become a better athlete all while making new friends.

Excellent programming, community, and most importantly, coaching. Byron, Janelle, and team are wonderful people who truly care about helping you achieve your fitness goals no matter your skill level. I love coming here because every class is different, challenging, and rewarding.I've been going here for 6 months and I'm shocked at how much progress I've made in a short amount of time. Highly recommended!

I moved to Chicago from Texas and have been a part of Bluprint for over a year. Out of all the crossfit/workout facilities I have been a part of, Blueprint takes the cake. They have built an amazing culture that sets it apart from most if not all gyms you will find. The coaches are knowledgeable, inspiring, motivating and funny. The programming is well thought out and easily scaled up or down with provided options. The sense of community and diversity is naturally positive and seen within all of the members.

I've been to several Crossfit gyms and this is by far my favorite one. The coaches are dedicated to creating a friendly, safe, and motivating environment. They've been great about communicating how they will bring top notch workouts to us throughout quarantine through zoom classes, remote workouts, and now socially distanced in-person workouts. I was nervous to come back to the gym once it reopened from quarantine but they've been meticulous about keeping the gym clean, making sure people wear their masks, and keeping us safely distanced from one another all while maintaining the integrity of the workouts. The workouts themselves are varied and challenging and I can feel myself improving everyday. The coaches are awesome and make a real effort to get to know everyone.

Truly a gem of a gym in Chicago.I've been crossfitting for over 5 years now. Over the course of these 5 years, I've dropped in for workouts at gyms all over the US, have done week passes and two week passes and punch cards at various boxes, and I can say without a doubt that NONE come close to achieving the community atmosphere, coaching expertise, and programming balance that you'll find at Bluprint.The coaches are knowledgeable and excited to work with athletes of ALL levels. Perhaps even more importantly, they place a premium on community. Everything at this gym is done with purpose and with an eye towards creating a cohesive, inclusive, community.Unlike the other crossfit gyms in Chicago that I've been to, the programming at Bluprint is geared towards health and longevity rather than elite performance. I can go to class every day and get a great workout without feeling beat up all the time. If I ever want more intense programming, there are lots of open gym times to choose from, and lots of members who are excited to come in and do additional workouts.I can't say enough good things about this gym and the ways that it has changed my life for the better. It's a great spot for everyone!!

This is the best gym I've ever belonged to. The owners/coaches are fantastic — they are fitness and nutrition experts who are incredibly friendly, professional and who really care about the health and wellness of their members. Plus, they practice what they preach, serving to inspire everyone around them. The programming is excellent, the community is amazing and the music is always on point. They go the extra mile in everything — from gym events to keeping everything super clean. Last but not least, I worked out here throughout my pregnancy and not only did I stay healthy and strong, but I knew that the coaches were constantly looking out for the safety of me and my baby.

If you are looking for a workout family to join, come be a part of the BluCru family! My journey began with a quick search for gyms near where I worked. I reached out to a few different locations and Byron, the owner and lead Coach at BluPrint Fitness, was one of the first to reach out. He was great at inquiring what I was looking for in a gym community and what my health goals were to see where the BluPrint family can help me get to my goals.My first trip to the Bluprint home was a little overwhelming. I had little to no experience with gym equipment. Byron welcomed me in and introduced me to the amazing Coaches! Be warned, there is accountability! I had to cancel classes due to grad school and I started getting text messages from Coach Selby. The Coaches care that you stay focused towards meeting your health goals.The class schedule is flexible to anyone's hectic work and personal schedule. Once you are ready, you get to graduate into the more advanced classes.BluPrint Fitness has been able to make modifications due to the COVID-19 pandemic ensuring each member is able to continue their health journey within their comfort level. They follow the science and the health experts making sure members are safe. For those like myself that still preferred a remote workout experience BluPrint provided online courses that I was able to access after my evening grad school courses had concluded.If you are looking for a positive environment that will help you become a better healthier version of who you want to be, come join the BluCru! Come be a new member of Janelle's "Buddies"! :-)
