I can’t say enough about how awesome Defined is. They helped get me back into shape after Covid. It may sound like a cliche, but they really have built a place where you can be the best version of yourself. Sign up immediately.

Some of the most welcoming, warm people you will ever meet. Culture is everything and this place has been doing a great job of it for many years. As an out of town guest (but past gym member), dropping in for a quick workout was a great experience.

Thanks for keeping the music at a somewhat bearable level this morning…You usually start blasting very early (6-7AM).People have differing schedules and you are in a residential area. Please please keep this in mind.I’ve been living in the neighborhood for years and have expressed my concerns previously and they’ve clearly gone unaddressed.Be better neighbors? Start music at 11AM-12PM and ENCOURAGE headphone usage before then.

I travel to Chicago multiple times a year and Defined has been extremely welcoming always providing a fantastic experience. I'm a bit envious of the locals that get to work with the coaches and the programming year round. Everything from the personalized instruction to the programming that seems dialed and deliberate make my time in Chicago almost more beneficial than when I'm at my local Crossfit gym. Truly a special gym

This gym was absolutely FANTASTIC!! Everyone was so kind, the coaches were knowledgeable and assertive and attentive (shout out to Robert and Sarah!), the space is incredible, and the workouts were gnarly. Definitely my new go-to gym in Chicago.

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write a review! I was lucky to find Defined in Winter/Spring of 2020, when I followed the Lunge Ladies there from Lululemon, for a strength training workout. Cara and Sarah inspired me to become the strongest and happiest version of myself I know, during a time of stress, uncertainty and burnout (as a healthcare worker during the first few mos of the pandemic). I continued to work out at Defined with the Lunge Ladies, until that summer when I started personal training there too. By the following winter, I felt comfortable enough to take Defined classes and become a member, and I’m so glad I did! While I was intimidated at first, having never done CrossFit and coming from a small ladies only group environment, the coaches and other members were so welcoming and it quickly became a second family. We live 20-30 min away, 35 min on weekends, and somehow still make the commute up to Defined because no other gym compares. We hit our weight loss goals, but it has been so much more than that because the coaches, especially Sarah, Cara and Noal have truly changed our lives. Thank you!!!!

Awesome experience, coaches, and facility. I dropped in for a few workouts while in the area and was blown away by the friendly and supportive environment, and by the quality of programming and coaching. Whether you’re a long-time crossfitter or just looking to get a good workout in, be sure to stop in to Defined while in Chicago!

Very patient coaches who are always willing to offer modifications to accommodate each individual's needs to achieve his/her goals. Positive attitudes! Very encouraging! For someone who has never stepped foot into a gym, it can be intimidating. They make me believe I can do it!

I was in Chicago for a few months and decided to join a Crossfit gym. David was super welcoming and made it easy to join. Coaches were interactive. And it was good in and out. Plus, the gym kept it COVID safe while I was there.
